“We have been so lucky the past two years to have Sandra watch over our animals when we are away. There is truly no one around who is more passionate about providing the best care for all animals. We could not recommend her enough!”
“She watched over our cat, Willow, while we were out of the country. Before leaving I had been so worried about her dealing with the stress of us being gone since she has a bad history with stress and not eating, but having Dyanne there immediately eased our minds. We got regular updates and tons of pictures of our sweet girl! We will definitely be reaching out to Dyanne for our future trips”
“Tayler was amazing! She was quick to reply to our last minute booking and took great care of Kali. She also went above and beyond by leaving things cleaner than when we left and giving our pup a much needed bath. Will absolutely be utilizing her services in the future if she’s available!”
“Leanna did an excellent job caring for our six dogs! Communication was smooth and clear from the start, and all expectations were met. She was very open and willing to learn our routines to make sure everything was done just right. She administered medications as needed, and our dogs were happy, relaxed, and showed no signs of anxiety after our return. We truly appreciate her dedication and will definitely book with her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm, where caring for animals of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and livestock—was part of everyday life. I have 5+ years of experience raising dogs and 3 years working in a dog boarding facility, caring for multiple dogs with different needs, routines, and temperaments. I also worked for a veterinarian, gaining experience with safe handling, health awareness, and attentive care. In addition, I have 3 years of experience training puppies starting as young as 3 days old, focusing on early socialization, routine building, and positive reinforcement. Whether I’m caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, cats, or farm animals, I provide dependable, loving, and detail-oriented care. I treat every animal like family and prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I am a full time chiropractic student, so I will have time in the early morning and late evening on weekdays. I will also be available all day during the weekends! I care for pets by following their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding, exercise, medications, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, enrichment, and lots of affection. Safety and comfort are always my priorities, and I closely monitor behavior and health. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, cats, and farm animals, and I adjust my care to fit each pet. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while away.
About: Observing and addressing subtle changes in a dog's behavior. Providing mentally stimulating activities like playtime, puzzle feeders, and appropriate socialization opportunities. Being flexible with scheduling and accommodating special requests. Promptly responding to inquiries, addressing concerns, and building a positive relationship with clients. Creating individual routines for each dog based on their dietary needs, exercise requirements. Regularly sending updates, photos, and videos to owners to keep them informed about their dog's well-being. I've done it all! Animals are a passion of mine! I'm a mama to 2 dogs and 1 cat! Their spoiled at their core! Let me spoil your pet too! Tuesdays are my only day of the week im not available. The rest of the week is open to work around my routine. Thank you I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and run. I have two pups to keep your pup company. I have a safety fence in my house as well if your needing your pet separated from mine. Your pets safety is my upmost concern! I will keep your pet active by playing outside with them.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and often helped out with my neighbors animals as needed. I enjoy walking so that is always good to have them as company I do work full time but my hours verify. So it would be good for those that don’t have the normal 9-5 job that everyone else has. Walking and playing and of course talking to them. Being aware and watching the dog truly helps understand what they need and when they need it
“Absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. I have a cat that no one has ever really pet her due to shyness. Well Amber on the first visit was not only able to pet but she also was having biscuits made on her. My kitty loved her. All my animals did.”
“Casey came to the rescue last minute when we needed a sitter! She was professional and great with all of our pets! I will definitely be using her again and referring her to others!”
“Caitlin was wonderful with my girls. She watched them over the 4th of July and spent all evening comforting them since they are terribly afraid of fireworks. The pups were super comfortable when I got home. I will absolutely be booking again.”
About: My first job was working at a vet clinic with dogs and 20 years later I’m still passionate about what I do! I am a certified pet care technician with a lifetime of experience working with dogs. Also pet CPR certified. I have a dog grooming area on-site at home as well. Can sent text and photo updates. Professional, experienced, and I love dogs. I Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work with dog rescue and dedicate my life to dogs bc it's what I love! I am a current member of APDT Association of professional dog trainers, working towards my dog training certification. I love all breeds but I especially love working with bully breeds. Many boarding facilities do not allow these breeds of dog. Most are just big cuddle bugs, and I am happy to oblige!
“Kayla was excellent! Kept us updated on how our pups were doing regularly, including daily pictures. She gave us peace of mind that they (and our house) was taken care of while we were away!”
About: I have taken care of pets for 10+ years and I absolutely love it. I am the go to person with my friends whenever they go out of town. I can’t wait to care for your pet as if they were my own! I am currently working a part time job so i am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! Let me know with any questions you may have. I always make sure i ease into the animals space so that they are comfortable and geeked cared for. I am always cautious of other animals if we are on walks to protect the safety of your pet.
About: I have been caring for animals for over a decade, I previously worked as a veterinary technician and I love working with all types of critters and their people!

I want to do whatever is best for your pet and hope to make them feel comfortable and at home while you are away!
About: For me size isn’t an issue I’d be just as happy taking care of a 150 pound dog as I would a little 5 pound one I have 2 dogs that I take care of everyday which includes playing outside, feeding and refilling water bowls, and loving on them throughout the whole thing I have 2 dogs at home now with a fenced in yard and I’ve had dogs all of my life and have never had a bad experience with any of them
“Kat was amazing! She’s not only just a cool person, but our dogs took to her immediately. We appreciate the communication while we were away - including pics of the pups lounging the day away. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Samantha did an outstanding job. We have a blue heeler who is not at all easy to get along with and she bonded with him perfectly. Can’t say enough good things about her. Thanks again, we’ll definitely be calling on her again.”
“Gisela was amazing! She was very professional, sent lots of pictures and kept in touch often. Our dogs got spoiled rotten by her. She left our house cleaner than when she got here. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jimmy was great! Stayed at our house while we was gone on vacation for a week. Took very well care of both of our dogs and also took care of our mums and other plants. House was clean and very well taken care of as well. I would highly recommend him. We will be considering again in December when we leave again for a week. Oh and he sent pictures and communicated everyday with us.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience dog sitting and dog walking for family, friends, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I have experience providing senior pets with the extra patience, attention, and care they may need, including helping maintain their regular routines. I’m also comfortable administering medications, including oral medicine, pills, eye drops, and other medications as directed by the owner. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine carefully and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and work around their usual routines. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting and can be flexible with timing based on each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their home, I always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m respectful of each home and pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, medications, and anything else that helps keep pets safe. I want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are in loving and responsible hands, and I’ll treat every pet like my own!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burgin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burgin on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 454 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burgin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Burgin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Burgin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burgin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burgin. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
