“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.”
“John did an excellent job taking care of my dog Rosie. He was very responsive, sent a bunch of pictures, and left the house very clean. My dog absolutely loved him and I would 10/10 recommend John to anyone looking for a responsible sitter. We will be using him again in the future!”
“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.”
“David was great! We had a wonderful experience. He took care of my dogs for 10 days and did a fabulous job. He took them for walks, played with them, put them to bed and made sure they got their meals on time. My boys were happy when I got home. I can highly recommend David!”
“Allegra constantly exceeds expectations and alleviates any anxieties I have about leaving my dogs for several days at a time. She is responsive and great with the dogs and house. I'll never book another dog sitter if Allegra is available!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my two small dogs. I came home to the house in order and happy dogs. I like having someone stay with them. They just seem to do better with their routine not interrupted. I will be booking Sarah again soon. Thank you!”
“Grant and Yunrui took such a good care of my anxious and high energy dog. They walked her, let her sleep with them and sent lots of updates and cute photos. Coco seemed very relaxed and happy when we came back. They followed our long list of instructions very well. I will most definitely rebook them to take care of Coco.”
“Christina was absolutely incredible as our dog and house sitter. She continuously went above and beyond in her care for our dogs and home. We had a dog that unfortunately got very sick early on, so Christina stepped up to be sure that he was taken care of and felt loved through his illness. We had constant communication with her to be sure he could be okay while we were gone. We are so thankful for her care and attention. We would love to have Christina care for our dogs again and again in the future. She's wonderful!!”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching our dogs. She frequently sent us updates on the dogs and photos, which put our minds at ease. She stopped by the next day to drop off our keys, and the dogs were so excited to see her which reconfirmed that they had a great time with her. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jeanette did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. We were gone for 10 days and I was worried we wouldn’t find anyone as responsible as she was. She was very loving and patient with our elderly dog. She has never been left with anyone but family before so I was worried about our dogs stress level. (Mine too). Jeanette sent pictures every day with a review of what they did that day. I would give Jeanette my highest review and would love to have her back when we go out of town again. She was an absolute dream. I can’t thank her enough for everything that she did for Channing and for me. She allowed me to enjoy my trip and not stress about my dog. She made all the difference in the world. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Batel stayed in our home with our 2 Boxers, 1 of whom is highly energetic, for 7 nights! We actually extended by 1 night and was so grateful for her flexibility. Our dogs are our family and can be quite a handful. She followed my crazy list of instructions and tips/tricks quite well and took great care of our dogs, and our home. I think by the end of her stay, they won her over. We would certainly reach out to Batel again for future needs.”
“Ismail took amazing care of my animals while I was away, and he took care of my worry with frequent photos of the pups doing well and having fun. He is experienced with dogs with healthcare needs, and he took care of my animals as if they were his own. Thank you, Ismail! Even my cat came out to greet him and to play, and she is usually very shy. We are so lucky and blessed to meet a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Our small rescue dog has only been left alone for a couple of hours a day since she was saved from living in a field with a bad breeder. We were very anxious about leaving her for a week but Jason did an outstanding job of keeping her happy, well walked, and communicated with us twice a day or more to make sure we were comfortable with her status. We highly and unconditionally recommend Jason and look forward to using his services again.”
“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!”
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.
“Madeline was wonderful with our 9yr old dog. She sent us several photos while we were away & we came home to the happiest boy! Highly recommend! Will definitely use her again.”
About: Throughout my life, me and my family have constantly had dogs and cats in and out of the house, ranging from small puppies/kittens to largest dogs. I’ve rescued so many animals with my mother and it has become a norm to be around multiple at a time.I love being with animals and enjoy spending time with all types. I’m a part time employee so weekdays I’m free from 11:30 to around 3 but on Fridays and Saturday I’m free all day. Sundays after 4pm I can feed, play, or walk any animal and can adjust to all personalities. I can ensure that whatever instructions you give me I will do my best to make them happen and make sure you animals is well taken care of.

David took excellent care of my miniature Shih Tzu, Gracie. He did 3 check in visits each for two consecutive days and spent one night. He sent me a message to let me know when he arrived, and again when he left and he included pictures. He is highly responsive and responsible and I recommend using David for your pet sitter needs.
Amie was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, responsive, and timely in her communication, and provided wonderful daily updates. She also takes the best pictures! Murphy is typically shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but from the moment she met Amie, she seemed comfortable around her and even flopped over for her! That comfort only seemed to grow throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed, and content cat and would happily book with Amie again!
Izzy took great care of my cat Amara for one full month while I was away. He's clearly a genuine cat lover — he even hoped she'd end up sleeping on his bed, and she eventually did, which says a lot about how comfortable she was with him. Communication was good: he sent regular photo updates throughout the stay, which gave me real peace of mind. He was also attentive to her wellbeing — he noticed and flagged it when she wasn't eating or drinking as much as usual, which I really appreciated. He left the house clean and even left a few groceries, which was a nice touch. Overall, nothing to worry about at all: my cat was in good hands, and I came home to a happy cat and a tidy home. Thanks again Izzy
Livia is an exceptional Rover employee. We have an elderly dog who needs extra attention getting about and has some medication needs. She took great care of Stella and communicated often and we didn't have the first concern while we were away. Livia sets the standard for Rover. We couldn't be more pleased with Livia and will not hesitate to have her back in our home the next time we need a dog sitter.
Nayeli was wonderful with Ferrari and Aston! She was caring, attentive, and very thoughtful about their individual needs and routines. I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave them, as well as the peace of mind she provided while I was away. I especially appreciated her communication throughout the stay. It was wonderful to be kept abreast of the pups’ daily activities and to receive videos of their interactions, which allowed me to see how they were doing and enjoy little moments with them even while I was away. I also really valued being kept informed of any changes in their routine or activities, especially if either pup wasn’t feeling well or experienced anything unusual, such as an upset stomach or diarrhea. That kind of communication means a lot to me because I want to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for at all times. Nayeli was respectful of their routines and my instructions, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about Ferrari and Aston and wanted them to feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m very grateful for the care she provided and would absolutely be happy to have her care for the pups again. I would definitely recommend Nayeli to other pet parents looking for someone caring, responsible, communicative, and dependable.
We are so glad we found Jordan through Rover! He came to the house to meet the girls and asked all of the right questions anbout their care and was very comfortable with them. He stayed at the house and sent us pictures of the pups playing and hanging with him which I just loved! We highly recommend Jordan to care for your pets.
Rydia pet/house sat a second time for us and for much longer this time and she did a fantastic job! She cared for our pets and our home like they were her own. We came home from a 12 day overseas trip and the pets acted like we hadn’t even been gone! And the house was in order and all taken care of. I will definitely use her again in the future!
We could not have asked for a better pet sitter! Amanda provided exceptional care for our dog, completely putting our minds at ease while we were away. She was attentive to his routine, went above and beyond to give him extra love and attention, and kept us updated with great check-ins. It is rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own family. We will absolutely be booking Amanda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy pet sitter!
We had a wonderful experience with Vaneeza dog sitting with our Walnut! She cared for Wally over three days with three visits each day, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care provided. Communication was excellent, and Vaneeza was always responsive and reliable. Most importantly, our furry Walnut seemed to absolutely loved her! We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such great hands. Highly recommend!
I booked Sharon last minute for a holiday weekend and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating to be able to look after my cats. Her communication was clear and prompt, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. She showed genuine care and attention, and I came home to two happy, well-looked after cats. She was reliable, kind, and professional. I will absolutely book with Sharon again! Thank you!
As usual, Jena was amazing. She has stayed at our place twice now with Gus and he’s always very happy and relaxed when we return home, as if we hadn’t left at all. Our place looks great and we trust Jena to be in our home and take care of Gus. We hope to have her back again in the future!

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
