About: I’ve taken care of many pets in the past. I also have a long time favorite customer that i continually go back to for visits. I go to Nova Community College full time and work part time as an RBT (registered behavior technician) with autistic children. I own 3 dogs of my own at the current moment, so taking care of them is part of my daily routine. Anything I can do. I have a fenced in backyard at my home and i let my dogs walk freely. I’m open to any accommodations needed for dogs +cats.

About: I have taken care of animals for most of my life in a way that makes the animal and owner comfortable, happy, and meets their needs. I have another job that I work for and my hours vary but I am still able to see the animal(s) at many times if needed. I have more availability during the summer time. If I am spending an afternoon in a clients home, I will find one spot to sit in and let the animals approach me. I'll make myself available, and show them I am here to care for them. I believe in earning their trust.

Seth was absolutely amazing! The constant communication and the daily pictures and videos he sent make you very comfortable. When I came home everything was clean for my cat and left the place just like how we left it. I would definitely recommend Seth as I will be booking him more for the future

Gabe is wonderful! Over the recent 7 months, Gabe has been reliable for our scheduled visits. She has been patient and gentle (but firm) with our golden retriever puppies (large and energetic). The puppies are excited when she arrives. Gabe sends photos each visit and messages to let me know about anything.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life and am lucky to still be caring for my childhood dog (17 years old!). Because of this experience, I know some dogs require a routine schedule to make sure they continue to be happy and healthy. Every dog has a one of a kind personality and I love getting to know each dogs quirks and little joys! I will be working close to a 9-5 schedule around 4 days a week. I will be able to give potty breaks or walks before and/or after my work during the work week but I am much more flexible Friday-Sunday. I live in an apartment so I unfortunately cannot offer dog sitting at my place at this time. Because I live in an apartment, I make sure to give my dog morning and evening walks and can make sure your dog gets the same treatment!

About: I have had pets a majority of my life, from small hamsters and guinea pigs, to my current 10 y/o pup! His name is Momo and I have had him for 6 years now. I am in graduate school, completing my full time clinical rotations and trying to make a little money on the side! I have a busy schedule, but I would love to make time for your fury friends! I will get to know and love your animal(s) individually. I know what it is like to have a dog with an inaccurate stigma attached to his breed, so you will get no judgement from me <3

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.

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’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 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!

Jing is the petsitter I trust the most! She is so sweet and kind to Pepper and Walnut. Pepper is a big dog and can intimidate some people, but Jing wasn’t fazed by his size at all. He adores her and gets so excited when she shows up. She also gave medication to Walnut and double checked she didn’t avoid the pills hidden in her food. She’s very responsive and takes lots of pictures of them when she visits. She even cleaned their bowls her last visit before our return. She will be our petsitter for as long as we have our dogs and she’s still pet sitting 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Burke on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 14,989 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.
