“Leslie was absolutely amazing. We were so grateful to have her watch our two cats. She came over to meet us and followed all of our detailed instructions, making us feel at ease. She checked in everyday and sent us many photos of our dear pets. She asked questions when necessary and went above and beyond to make sure our home was left tidy and orderly. Our two cats loved seeing her everyday. We will definitely be using her services in the future the next time we travel! Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of Cats, Dogs, and bunnies for friends and family. Providing feeding, walks, playtime, litter and cage cleaning, and lots of attention. I also owned a dog for 10 years giving me long-term experience with daily routines, behavior, and loving care. I am dependable, patient, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently working a part time job and am in school part time I’m available most weekends and Thursdays and fridays. Working mostly mornings and afternoons. I provide a safe and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I live with my parents and sister, who also have pet sitting experience, so pets are never alone and always supervised.

“David and his family went above and beyond to care for our golden while we were away. It was our first time leaving Hank alone at our house for the weekend so we were filled with nerves. That was until we received the first pictures and rover card for their first visit. It was evident that they made Hank feel comfortable and even excited when they arrived! They popped in for 4 hour-long visits each day, doing two long walks and making sure he was fed, put to sleep, and played with each time. It was wonderful seeing multiple members of the family there with him. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”

About: My mom's dog, Queenie, has bad anxiety. She'll pick a person to sit by, and stay with them until everyone else leaves. When she chooses me, I play with her, sit with her, and slip her some treats for being good. I currently am unemployed, so I'll be available for all types of at home pet care, all days and all hours. I accept same day bookings and requests I will always stay with your pet. I will feed, watch, and bathe your pet if applicable! I'm always in the mood to play with pets!

About: I have 25+ years of experience taking care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. I know firsthand that dogs are part of our family. While your dogs are with us, we welcome them as part of our family and treat them with the same love and care as our own. I maintain a calm, clean and safe environment. Whether relaxing indoors, or playing in our safe, fenced backyard, your dogs will always be carefully supervised. I also send regular photo updates throughout the day so you can see how your dog is doing and have peace of mind. I work from home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule is pretty flexible to allow for regular potty breaks, playtime and meal schedules. I provide calm, clean, and cozy environment, with a fully fenced yard where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I also send regular photos and updates throughout their stay.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years and have a dog of my own, Lola. I enjoy walking, playing with, and taking care of dogs, making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m used to taking care of my own dog and can easily fit walks, feeding, and playtime into my daily routine. I always make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I also make sure to give each dog plenty of attention and keep their environment clean and safe.

“Anna did a great job, my anxiety was high because I’ve had a bad experience with another sitter. She came well prepared for the meet and greet, had a list of questions for me to fill out to care for him better. Anna sent pictures, put the trash in the laundry room like I asked (he gets into the trash), walked him and recorded the walk so I could see where they went. She communicated well, I came home to a clean apartment, and a happy puppy. I will definitely hire her again.”

About: I believe every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually so I can provide attentive, reliable care and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide dependable care, whether that’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow their usual routines, respect their space, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve been watching animals (mostly cats and dogs) for about 10 years now, anywhere from pet sitting at homes to going over and dog walking. Now, im currently a full time vet assistant and looking to walk dogs (and cat sit!) on the side again! I currently work full time overnights (3 twelve hour shifts) at an emergency veterinary hospital over the weekends. So while you're at work during the week, I am free to watch your fur babies! It varies on what I offer but I always send daily photos and updates throughout the day or walk! I also send updates on texts and always use communication!

About: I have been a pet owner all my life, and have spent many of those years watching over dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and many more. I gained experience through several years of training as a veterinary nurse at two high volume animal hospitals in the Seattle area, and have been partnered with Rover for quite some time now. That being said, I love my fuzzy creatures and have learned a good deal about how to provide excellent care to them. I live an active lifestyle, and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or frequent walks, just as much as having nights inside with them to wind down and to relax. I work remotely, giving me the flexibility to make frequent trips back and forth to check in, so your dog would never be left alone for too long. I work full time remotely from M-F and am free on the evenings and weekends. During the week, I am able to make drop-in visits during working hours to nearby clients as well. I always want to respect my client's privacy and personal space, so I stay professional whether it comes to staying overnight or dropping by. I'm happy to play outside with your pup in a fenced in yard or outdoor park, or inside in a roomy area where everyone can play safe and fun.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities!

David did a wonderful job of caring for our dog Mindy. David was always in time and highly communicative. He was very kind to our senior doggo. We had to do a fairly last minute booking, and David responded right away and made time for a meet up beforehand. He was also able to adjust along the way to add some more drop ins.

Rachel was the best! She is competent and communicative. It was easy to go out of town because she loved on my dog and sent wonderful photos and fun stories about their adventures! Both my boys are older (13 and almost 15) and one has 3 legs. She was great at keeping my reactive big dog calm and he loved all her cuddles and treats and trips outside! She comforted my small tripod through the thunderstorm and he greatly appreciated her lifting him up onto the couch for snuggles and her carrying him home when he got tired after she let him explore and sniff out all his fave places. Thanks and the boys say woof!

Rachel has been great with our adult dog and our very young puppy! We needed someone to come and check in on the puppy while we're at work, feed him, and take him out. She gives a comprehensive update everyday and has taken some very cute pictures of the dogs, including our older girl who refuses to look at a camera. We're very grateful she's been able to give us a hand!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Burke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Burke is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 14,679 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Burke. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Burke 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!

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Burke with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burke. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
