About: I am a highly organized and reliable pet sitter with a passion for all types of furry friends. I am adept at providing individualized care for each dog that stays with us and my whole family loves animals. I work my 9-5 in my large house (and fenced-in yard!) so I'm always home and I have two teenaged sons and a husband who also works at home. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I work full time from my home so I am always here at the house. My husband works from home so he's always here too! I have a large house and a fenced yard, as well as a 70lb dog who loves company. We treat our furry guests like family. They'll have a blast here!
About: I have cared for animals in various settings for many years. I have handled many medical issues, giving medications as injections, orally, topically. I love all the furbabies, but don't have any of my own at the moment so it's really nice for me to get some animal time. I also currently have a very flexible day and evening schedule, so I can be available for a variety of needs. I currently work part-time and care for family, so my schedule is highly variable and it's easy to fit in visits for feeding and playtime pretty much any day of the week. I also don't plan to have any travel or major commitments over the winter holidays, so I'm able to holiday cat visits and even overnights throughout December/January. I take your beloved pets' safety and comfort very seriously, I would never want any thing to happen to them on my watch. I will confirm that I have all of the important information I need when entering your home, and will fully document everything that takes place when I am there so you can have peace of mind that your fur baby is safe and happy while you are gone.
“We were impressed with how thorough and detailed David was during the meet and greet, and this carried over when we were away and to the attention he gave to our 2 large pups for a week. Once all of his questions were answered, it is clear he provided excellent care and carried out all instructions to the tee. He sent updates 3x a time with pictures so we knew they were doing well - exactly what you want for your fur babies and so you can enjoy your vacay without that worry. We would absolutely book David again!”
“Wow, Gabrielle was Amazing. She was incredibly attentive and prompt for every visit. She took care of our 120 LB Newfie and very needy cat, which is no small feat. You would be so lucky to have her take care of your Pets!”
“Katherine came for a daily drop in for our dog while we were on vacation. She did an excellent job, and sent me daily reports and pictures. I highly recommend Katherine as a pet sitter!”
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.
About: My mom's dog, Queenie, has bad anxiety. She'll pick a person to sit by, and stay with them until everyone else leaves. When she chooses me, I play with her, sit with her, and slip her some treats for being good. I currently am unemployed, so I'll be available for all types of at home pet care, all days and all hours. I accept same day bookings and requests I will always stay with your pet. I will feed, watch, and bathe your pet if applicable! I'm always in the mood to play with pets!
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.
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.
“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: Pets have been a part of my family my entire life - dogs, cats, hamsters, fish… and some at the same time. I understand that your pet is a member of your family and they will be treated as such with me. I also know that pet care is not just playtime, they require care, constant attention, to follow what you have set for them in terms of schedule and routine, reinforced love… and of course playtime and cuddles! Your pet will be safe with me and I hope to be an extension of your family’s pet care team. I am available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. I work full time from home so your pet will have my constant attention and time to ensure safety, care, and FUN! I do not currently have any pets in the home. Another driving reason for wishing you’ll share your furbaby with me - I definitely miss the companionship, company, and fun a pet brings to the home and my day.
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.
“Allison is fantastic! She provided so many photos and updates for every visit. My kitties were well taken care of. Recommend using Allison for in house visits for any pet. She is so sweet and genuinely cares for animals.”
“Krysta did a great job taking care of the dogs. I had no doubt of the care they were receiving. She had great communication prior and during the visits. I would use again. Thanks.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Burke is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burke
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!
Rydia watched our older cat Dave for a week while we were out of town. We don't leave her very often because she's older and so it was very nice to have her come in take pictures of him and keep us updated as to how Dave is doing and it just gave us peace of mind that we knew our cat was being well taken care of while we were gone

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 .
