“Isa was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Finley. She was attentive and clearly took the time to understand his routine and personality during her stay with him at our home. Finley can be a bit particular at times, but Isa handled everything so naturally and made sure he was comfortable, well cared for, and happy throughout the day. We really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, and it meant a lot to know he was getting so much attention and care.”
“Davis stayed at our house for a week while we traveled. He took great care of our 80lb American Bulldog, and was able to get our mega-shy pug-mix to warm up to him which isn’t easy! He also cared for our koi pond, and flock of chickens including a broody hen. We got cute pictures and clear communication on how everything was going which allowed us to relax! Came home to a clean house and happy animals. We’ll definitely book Davis again and recommend him to friends. 😎”
““Gabriela did a fantastic job taking care of our 12-year-old Shih Tzu, Daisy! She is very kind, loving and detail oriented-just what we needed when leaving our senior fur baby! We loved the photos she sent—they really put our minds at ease. When we returned, the house was impeccable and Daisy was a happy camper! Gabriela is a wonderful sitter, and we will definitely hire her again!”
“Michelle was very gracious and kind to come last minute when my mom had an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and understanding when my mom had a crisis and my husband was delayed getting back home. Her kindness and affection with our boy Sherlock was wonderful!”
About: Ever since I was little I've always been around animals, watching over both family and friend's pets. I've watched and cared for dogs of all ages and sizes from small to large and young to old. I am also not a stranger to dogs with special needs; such examples as blindness, anxiety and separation anxiety. I am currently going to High School but anytime after 4:00PM on weekdays work for me. My weekends are completely free so any time can work. Currently my house is not suitable for any pets as my landlord does not allow any, so I am only offering my dog walking services, check in visits and overnight stays.
“Our getaway was more relaxing knowing that Seth was taking care of our dog and our home. Great to return to a calm, happy dog. Seth is a good communicator and very professional.”
“Great sitter! Jessica provided updates and pictures during the stay and maintained constant communication. I am always hesitant when I have to book a new sitter, but glad I found her! I have 3 dogs with weird quirks (one food aggressive, another anxious, and the last very hyper and annoying lol) so it can be difficult to find care, but Jessica took them on with ease. Would absolutely book again and recommend for services.”
“Matthew was amazing in providing updates on the dogs. He definitely spoiled both dogs and handled them with love and care. Additionally, he left the house tidy and clean even washing the sheets and blankets that were used. Definitely a great sitter that I would use again!”
“David was great with my two dogs!! They looked like they had a great time with him. He communicated very well during the 10 day stay. We would definitely use him again to take care of our babies in the future!”
“Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.”
“McKenna is amazing! She took excellent care of our dog and house. Her communication was on point with updates and pictures. Our dog loves her and we will definitely use her as our regular sitter.”
“Renee was a fantastic dog sitter for our 2 girls while we were away. From the very beginning, Renee was responsive and asked questions to ensure she knew everything that was needed to take care of our girls. We received multiple videos daily from walks, playtime, and lounging time. The house was incredibly clean when we got back showing she not only took care of our dogs but our house as well. Would not hesitate to use Renee again when we go out of town next.”
About: Hey, friends! Welcome to Waggin' & Walkin'. I've had many types of animal family members in my life. From dogs and cats to a ferret and a guinea pig! I've also volunteered at the Rota Animal Welfare League while stationed in Spain. My duties included feeding, cleaning the grounds, and spending time with my furry pals. There's no doubt that your dog will be in great hands. Whether it's feeding them, walking them or simply relaxing with them to ensure they're comfortable, I'll be there when you can't to ensure they're good to go 💯👍. I have a really great schedule which will allow me ample time to take care of your pets needs. My typical work schedule is from 6am-2pm so any time after that I can assist. From walking to pet sitting, I'll ensure they are loved and cared for so you can relax and focus on what you need to do. As of now I plan to perform the following services: Dog walks, Pop-ins and pet sitting at the client's home. I might add Boarding in the future. When you're not home I will do all tasks that you require to ensure your loved pet is nourished, interacted with and feels safe & happy.
“Rachel housesat for us for a week and was very pleasant to work with. We really appreciated that she communicated with us upfront about expectations (both in terms of what we were expecting and what she'd be able to provide), and that she kept in close contact with us while we were gone about our dog and the house. Most importantly, our dog was happy and safe when we got home, and our house was in great shape. We'd gladly book with Rachel again!”
“Kathrine was wonderful with our 3 fur kiddos! She sent photos and 2-3 updates per day. We are very happy with her overnight sitter option and will certainly hire her again.”
About: I’ve been a (very happy) dog owner for 10 years, and an animal lover since my first pet cat at the age of 5. My two rescue pups are my life, and they live a healthy, active and loving life with me here in Burke. Growing up on a farm provided me with a life filled with animal caretaking, and has given me several unique opportunities to care for a TONS of different pets. Since living here in Burke for 2 years, I take a lot of pride in meeting and interacting with all of our dogs and families within our community. I spend a lot of time helping out neighbors with last minute dog walks or home sitting, and working with our other community members to create inclusive, safe environments for our dogs to play and interact at our local dog park. Taking care of dogs is a serious passion of mine. I treat my dogs Molly and Luna as my children, and I extend that same love and care to all fur babies who come my way. Working with pets is currently my full-time job and focus! Finding time to take care of your loved one(s) IS my routine, and can be available to provide walks, play time, house sitting, park visits, etc., from 9-4 every week day. I like to treat your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all directions providing for feeding, walks, and more. But on top of that I love to just spend time with them to make them feel at ease - belly rubs, playing with their favorite toy, or whatever else brings them joy!
“Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!”
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
“This was our first of two sittings with Tara and we couldn’t be more pleased with the attention and care given to our pup and our home. She is so communicative, offering updates as frequently as desired and was proactive in learning and doing everything she could to ensure our pup was happy and comfortable with her. We have a Velcro pup so we do worry about his anxiety while we are away but Tara put our minds at ease.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Burke is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burke
Gabriella took care of my golden doodle for a long July 4 holiday weekend from Thursday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. She did a fantastic job! I received updates and pictures once or twice a day, which completely put my mind at ease while I was away. She administered medicine to help my furbaby’s anxiety from fireworks as requested and made sure my baby was calm and safe through the fireworks. It’s always tough leaving your pet over a busy holiday, but Gabriella was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive. I highly recommend her. She will not disappoint.
Charlotte has been absolutely wonderful with our dog! She walks our dog weekly and has also stayed in our home while we were away, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Thank you for everything, Charlotte—we’re so grateful and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker!
David dog sat our two dogs who can be a handful. It was the first time we'd left them for over a week. David kept us up to date with pictures and notes of what was going on at home so we could enjoy our trip. When we returned the dogs were happy to see us; they showed no signs of being stressed/anxious/needy from their time with David. We won't hesitate to call on David again when we need someone to care for our dogs.
Anna did a wonderful job looking after our slightly neurotic Bernedoodle and newly adopted cat for several weeks. She sent us lots of picture updates and managed to get our picky dog to eat without issue. She left the house just as clean if not cleaner than when she came. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
I can't say enough about Zena! She's an amazing sitter and such a sweet person to work with. I was very timid about leaving my fur baby for 2 weeks and she was constantly in contact and took care of my home while I was away. She also brought toys and took extra care to make sure my fur baby was cared for in the most beneficial ways! I recommend her for anyone who needs that added level of comfort and just general niceness!
Dounia was an amazing sitter! We have three challenging little dogs (reactive to strangers, needy in the the house) and she handled them with grace and ease. She communicated well, kept me updated often, and left the house spotless (it was probably better than when she arrived!)

FAQs for House Sitting - Burke
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burke on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,848 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burke. 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 Burke 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 Burke 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 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!
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.
