Jing was great! She was transparent with her availability and was on time. She made sure our cat was cared for like we would have done. The many pictures of our cat helped us feel better knowing he was good and happy! Would recommend her for your pet care needs!

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.

About: I've been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old, haven taken care of a wide diversity of animals including cats, senior dogs, and turtles, along with my own two dogs. I have received only positive reviews from my neighbors and often look after the same pets repeatedly. I have a lifelong love of animals, and make sure to dedicate myself to looking after your pets. I'm currently a college student, so I have a very flexible schedule this summer! I am available all days weekends and weekdays, but my schedule might change from week to week. I make sure to be very attentive of your pets and always keep a close eye on them. I am also able to give medicine if need be, as well as crate your dogs.

Lauren was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating, even when we had last-minute changes to dates and times. Knowing that we could rely on her and that she was willing to adjust her schedule gave us tremendous peace of mind. She was dependable, responsive, and clearly cared about our dogs as if they were her own. We always felt confident that our pups were in great hands. We truly appreciate her professionalism and kindness, and we would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you again Lauren!

About: Dogs are a huge part of my life! I got my first dog when I was in 4th grade and then volunteered with dogs at a local humane society throughout high school. After college, I was a live-in nanny for 6 years, helping to care for 2 different family dogs. During my years as a nanny, I also did a lot of dog sitting for a bunch of families in the neighborhood, taking care of the dogs at either my house or theirs. After getting married, my husband and I adopted a puppy of our own and we spent the past 9 years devoted to raising her! I have experience with puppies, older dogs, and providing medication. I am currently a part-time dental hygienist, available to care for your dog 4 days of the week (Thursday through Sunday)! We recently lost our family dog quite unexpectedly, and we are really missing having a canine companion for cuddles and walks! I am available to watch your dog at your home for drop-in visits or walks and at my home for daycare or short-term boarding. I live in a townhouse with a small fenced yard, including some grass. There are no other animals living in the house, but I do have 2 daughters (ages 4 and 7). As such, your dog must be good with children, as well as my husband!

We were nervous to leave our 14-year old dog while we traveled out of the country for a week, but David went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable and caring for our dog. David connected easily with our dog, and our dog warmed up to him very quickly. David was always on time and gave us regular detailed updates, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. If we ever need help with our dog again, we will absolutely reach out to David.

About: I volunteered in my local shelter throughout college in Birmingham and Mobile. My total volunteer experience is around 5 years during which I fostered dogs for the shelter. I have three furchildren (Atticus Catticus, Alexandria Hamilton, and Layla). I am also responsible, trustworthy and “like” all cute Facebook animal videos. My availability is open until August 24th. After that, I am available after 230pm. My goal is to make sure your pet has the best experience while you are away! I’m a teacher who is off for the summer! I can drop in during the early morning, afternoon, or late evening. During the school year, I’m available after 2:30pm. Animal care is a part of my daily life since I have pets of my own. I follow the owner’s directions and make it my goal to ensure the pet is comfortable in their own space. Whether it’s a calm, gentle voice or yummy treats, I try to make sure pets feel at ease.

5 Stars and 100 A+ ! Winnie La Frisse and Jefferson have a New Favourite Sitter! MAURA was Prompt, Communicative, Thorough, Very Kind, Empathetic, and Scrupulously Attentive to our detailed instructions. If the Kitties are Mellow and Purry and the litter box is clean and the water dish full upon our return, then that’s the Gold Standard. Maura met and exceeded all expectations. She’s an ACE !

We had a great experience with Sonia! We booked her the day before we needed a dog walk, and she was incredibly accommodating. When we ended up running late getting home, she was able to come back and walk our dog again on very short notice, which we truly appreciated. Sonia is reliable, communicative, and follows instructions carefully. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!

Jiamin did an excellent job checking in on, playing with, and feeding our two cats while we were away for a few days! She followed instructions perfectly and made sure our cats actually ate (one gets distracted very easily) and gave them lots of love and play time. She gave detailed updates and sent lots of photos and pics which we appreciated and enjoyed. We will definitely use Jiamin again!

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 😊

Our pup was happy and relaxed with her! We lost connection while away and though we got it resolved, she even offered to come back and check things out.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Burke

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burke on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 15,661 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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.

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.

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.
