“Jing took great care of our Alaskan Malamute while we were on a trip. She gave our dog long walks, and sent us messages with pictures of our dog to let us know how she was doing. We will definitely ask Jing to take care of our dog in the future!”
“Dionisia is a great pet care taker . She is very good and patient with handling dogs with anxiety like mine and I can tell my dog loved her as well. She send photos and always communicated very well with me. I 100% trust and recommend her for anyone who may want to book with her !”

About: Dog owners love that I care for their dog as they are my own. I become their strongest advocate and fill-in dog parent while you are away. I respect rules you set and keep schedules consistent so your dog isn't thrown off while you are away. I do not watch more than one dog at a time, so your pup will have all of our attention in a calm, controlled home. I also encourage controlled playtime and exercise! Please let me know if your dog would like to join me for a run or hike. I have cared for many dogs over the years and my flexible schedule allows me to meet your boarding/drop-in needs. I have experience caring for young dogs and senior dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is very open and allows for hikes, walks, or other adventures with your pup. Or even some extra time snuggling on the couch or playing fetch. We have two young children who love animals, especially dogs, so it is important that your pup is comfortable around kids. Pick up/drop off is anytime between 8am - 10pm. Pet care fits into my routine through time set aside for walks, drop-in visits, and companionship. I’ll discuss your pet’s usual schedule with you before booking to make sure I can provide the time and attention they need. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep walks leashed, and be mindful of doors, gates, and surroundings. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your space and keep you updated with photos and notes about our time together.
“We are so happy to have Sophie help us out with our senior GSP. She asked great questions as we were getting to know her, which made us feel more comfortable that our dog is in great hands!”
“There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Sheila was with our little diva. We now copy her sked for our older chiweenie for walks and meals. She found a better rhythm that’s working great at addressing our dog’s old lady dog issues. So glad we met Sheila here, we’ll be asking for her help again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a young child and enjoy playing and walking dogs and ensuring they receive all the love and attention. I’m currently going to school and have time to walk and play with your pet to ensure they receive the best care possible. I am around everyday and on weekends unless I’m traveling. I will take your pet to the dog park or a long walk or daily runs depending on their type of exercise needs. I currently do not have a pet.
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: We are a husband-and-wife duo who love animals. We both work from home so your furbabies will be well looked after. We've volunteered with pet rescues (most recently) from 2020-2022, finding over 25 puppies, kittens, dogs and cats their furever home. We have both had dogs from puppies to when they crossed the Rainbow Bridge and are familiar with the delicate nature of aging in our beloved pets. I've had experience administering insulin to a cat while cat sitting. Your animals will be treated like our extended family. We let our own mammals out once every two hours. We also feed our animals twice a day about 12 hours apart. We make sure they are well exercised and rested. There is a large fenced in area for horses that we converted to our own private dog park. We will follow the rules of your home should you need a stop in. If your mammals stay with us, we will treat them as our own, and per your instructions.
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’ve had a dog for four years now! I foster cats for the past year now and I love spending time with both dogs and cats! I recently graduated and have not started work yet! As of right now, I am full-time open to helping out! I’m open to spending nights as well! I don’t prefer to house cats or dogs in my own home. We have an invisible fence for Milo at my house. He uses collars for it
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.
About: I provide a personalized pet experience focused on comfort, consistency, and individualized care. With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I understand that every pup has unique needs. I’m comfortable training young, high drive dogs who thrive on structure and stimulation, as well as supporting senior dogs with slower days, medication schedules and specialized diets. Every day includes multiple long walks through nearby trails and parks, plenty of supervised playtime in a fully fenced yard, never long crate hours. Currently I work part time, short morning shifts, Tue, Wed, to help remedy the slower months. aside from that Pet care is my full time focus! I make sure there are no long crate hours because I know how stressful that can be for anxious pups in a new space. Every animal in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and activity throughout the day. My routine revolves around their needs, from walks and playtime to meals and rest. I provide undivided attention to each pet staying in my home and love sending regular photo and video updates so you can see how happy and relaxed your furry family member is while you’re away. When a pet stays with me, their safety and comfort come first always. I’ve set up my home to be both secure and calming: a fully fenced yard for dogs to play safely, and a screened in patio where cats can enjoy the outdoors without any risk. I keep gates locked, leashes checked, and feeding or medication routines followed to the letter. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, stepping in early if a dog seems overstimulated or tired. Cleanliness and structure matter here food and water are refreshed throughout the day, bedding is washed often, and the environment stays tidy and stress free. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, understood, and completely cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burke
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.
We had a great experience with our dog sitter! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Suki and for sending photos and updates while we were away. It was so nice to see how she was doing and know she was in good hands. We really appreciate the care and attention you gave her!
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!
Jiamin was amazing!! She was super helpful, I had notes on what had to be done, and she went above and beyond to care for my two cats. It was clear she cared for them and loved them too. And she kept us updated with all the details and pics/vireos, really made our time away much more enjoyable knowing my cats were in good hands 🥰
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burke is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 15,377 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
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.
