Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!

About: I have walked, stayed overnight with, given medicine to, and played with animals of all shapes and sizes. I am studying to become a vet so I am an all around animal person! I work from coffee shops a lot so I have a flexible enough schedule to regularly let pets out, feed them, or perform other caretaking tasks throughout the day. I am very adaptable and enjoy taking care of pets in their homes. I like to maintain their regular schedules and be present with them as much as possible during my stay.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. Growing up my family had a Dachshund — my first lesson in just how much personality a small dog can pack — and later a German Shepherd, who taught me that larger dogs need confidence, consistency, and genuine respect. I also spent years walking a neighbor's Irish Setter, which gave me an early appreciation for athletic, high-energy breeds that need real exercise and engagement, not just a quick lap around the block. Most recently I had a rescue dog I adopted when he was older and already managing some minor health issues. He later developed a heart condition that required daily medication — which I administered myself throughout his illness. Caring for him through that journey gave me hands-on experience with senior dog care, medical management, and the kind of patience and attentiveness that serious health conditions demand. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs for neighbors and friends — from drop-in visits to boarding them in my own home. My regulars have included a Westie who, despite the breed's famously stubborn reputation, spends most of his time demanding belly rubs and reminding me that Westies are really just cuddly dogs in a tough-dog costume. I have also cared for a Pit/Boxer mix who turned out to be one of the most docile, cuddly dogs I have ever had the pleasure of caring for — a reminder that reputation and reality are often two very different things. I judge dogs on who they are, not what breed they are. I also manage a regular medication routine for the Westie in my care. If your dog has a medication schedule, it will not be skipped, forgotten, or treated as an inconvenience. I am fully dedicated to pet care right now — home throughout the day, taking a limited number of dogs at a time so every guest gets real attention. Whether your dog needs a calm quiet environment, daily medication, or just someone who will truly enjoy their company all day — I am that person. I am home all day every day and fully available for pet care morning through evening. No day job, no busy schedule pulling me away. I follow each dog's individual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication. Pet care is my full-time focus and I treat it that way. My home is calm, comfortable, and set up with your dog's happiness in mind. Every dog in my care gets out daily — just nearby is a beautiful park with a lake that makes for a perfect morning walk, along with plenty of neighborhood routes for dogs who love to explore and sniff every corner. Inside, dogs have comfortable resting areas and a relaxed, welcoming environment to settle right into. Your dog will never be cooped up or bored.

Boone can be a stubborn old hound and rather particular with the people he trusts. He took to Seth right away and it out my mind at ease. Seth’s experience and easy demeanor were a major stress relief for me. Communication was great and I had no worries while I was out of town. Will absolutely book again!

About: I love caring for all kinds of animals! 🐾 I’m comfortable looking after pets with all sorts of personalities, routines, and special needs. Whether it’s taking an energetic dog on a walk, giving a cat some much needed cuddles, keeping small pets fed and comfortable, or simply making sure an animal has company while their person is away, I’m happy to help! I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for. ❤️ I have time for work I’m looking to make enough money to move out of my parents house and be able to afford basic living expenses I spend a lot of time taking care of my pets. I walk the dogs, clean up their poop, I also feed them multiple times a day. I also spend several hours a day holding or cuddling my clingy cat and caring for her needs as well.

She was wonderful with my puppy. She followed my instructions and ran around outside playing with him. It seemed like he had a lot of fun with her and was very happy when I came home. I would definitely recommend.

About: In addition to being an approved foster home for Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and one very cute hamster throughout my 48 years. After both of my senior rescue pups passed away from old age during Covid, I've really missed having a furry companion running around. I'm not quite ready to have my own pet full-time again but enjoy caring for others' furry friends between foster pups. Open to full day, evenings, or weekends. Seniors have a special place in my heart and are always welcome. I am very experienced with those that have special needs or medicines. I do ask that all pets are kid friendly as I have a 10 year old "trainer" that comes with me and really enjoys reading to the pups at bedtime. Though my son will keep his distance from dogs that are skittish, we want a safe and calm place for both the pet and child to stay when they're in our home. For stays in our home, especially those last minute needs, we have beds, crates, bowls, toys, and even various types of emergency food just in case. We're who you need in a pinch or if your flight is delayed on the way home. Boarding in our home always comes with multiple walks a day and often a fun adventure and patio time! Working from home makes flexible pick up and drop off scheduling a breeze for pups staying with me! I look forward to making your pet part of our family while you're away. Be sure to let me know if they'd enjoy the park and long walks or prefer a more laid back stay with extra cuddles or space to decompress and we'll adjust. We sit for many families in our neighborhood and several prior dogs have walked with us to and from school (Hi Georgie!)... while others have napped most of the day away. (Hi Duke, Lana, and Mimi, I'm looking at you!) Need me to pick up to make it easier to head out of town? Or deliver once you're home? I gotcha! I have a small fenced in yard and lots of open green space out back to keep your pup busy! Does your pet prefer a walk around the neighborhood? We'll show them around around and where the best town "gossip" is located. Our "fur-iends" who visit love to check their "pee-mails" and we know all the great spots. Have a well behaved pooch? Your pet will always have free range of my home, if they're most comfortable contained near their humans I can close off doors and block off stairs! We even have extra floor coverings for those a little older that appreciate extra traction when walking. Does the pup like crates better at night, just let me know and I'll follow your routine! We have a couple med/lg sized ones here I keep on hand, in case they're needed. I usually keep the doors off so they can use it as a safe place whenever they'd like unless mom or dad prefers otherwise! Safety is incredibly important to us so all animals will stay leashed outside and I have a 2 pet limit set on Rover so things stay calm and we have plenty of scratchies & snuggle time with the dogs who like to hang out with humans. Have a senior pup who wants to hide somewhere quiet? There's plenty of great hiding spots and we'll tote a bed over to their new favorite spot to keep them comfy.

Faced with a last minute cancellation by our regular pet sitting service, we were fortunate to find the Rover App and through the App, Tresa. Our cats, normally skittish, readily welcomed her and Tresa’s daily reports and pictures reassured us they were in the very best hands. Looking forward to being a repeat customer 🙏

About: I want to be able to provide a safe, healthy, and caring environment where your pets can get the love and attention they deserve just like mine. I've always love dogs. Right now I have a female corgi which is adorable and love her so much. I'd be delighted to come to your home to walk your dog, take him/her to Vet or to a grooming appointment. Please let me know any medical conditions your pup may have. Any special needs. What the rules are at your house, also I require your pups to be vaccinated and treated with fleas and tick medication.

About: I’ve had the joy of owning an American Akita, a Pitbull mix, and a Husky, so I’m familiar with different breeds and their unique personalities. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and I do my best to make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. I currently work from home mon-fri from 8:30-5:30 but I will have plenty of time throughout the day to love and care for your dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a dog park in the neighborhood to keep the dogs entertained. I also have the luxury of being able to work wherever so I’m able to care for dogs in my clients home as well.

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!

Michelle is absolutely fantastic and took such good care of our boy! She made sure to give him a lot of attention, playtime, and pets. We just moved and our dog is still adjusting, she was very attentive to this fact and definitely helped him have an easy day. Her narratives are so great and really paint the picture of her time with our boy. We would highly recommend Michelle!

This was my first time using Sonia to take care of our dog. She was great. She was reliable, dependable, and good with our dog. She was friendly, asked good questions, and took notes on how best to take care of our dog. Our dog was happily herself when we returned home after being away for two nights. She was well taken care of.

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 Drop-In Visits - Burke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Burke on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 14,844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Burke. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burke stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 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.
