“Shawn was great with Rosi! She is an anxious velcro dog, and I was nervous to leave her overnight so soon after adopting her. She seemed calm and happy with Shawn, and he sent updates with photos to give us peace of mind. He also helped her with medication and an altered diet due to some tummy troubles she’d been having prior to us leaving her.”
“I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!”
“Joshua was fantastic from the start! He took such great care of Millie & Hope and provided daily updates. The house was spotless after a week of being gone & the dogs were very happy!! Would certainly recommend Joshua and will definitely use him again in the future!”
“Samantha is so great with my pups! She sent lots of pics and videos letting me know they’re ok and messaged me with concerns so it could be addressed right away. Would definitely reach out to her again in the future”
“We have used Tina multiple times when we travel. She does a great job with taking care of our dog and our house and we are confident he is well cared for when we are gone.”
“Camille did a wonderful job caring for our very active puppy! Took her for multiple walks even in the terrible WI spring weather! She also did well giving her medicine for some tummy troubles. Our home was left very clean too. Will not hesitate to have her again!”
“Shatoria was great. She engaged my two pups quite a bit. I received lots of photos of happy dogs, some cuddling with her - a good sign! The house was in excellent order, just as I left it. I plan to invite her to house/dog sit again. Thanks Shatoria!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our pups were happy and calm when we returned home from a long afternoon/evening away. Tatyana definitely understands how to handle large, rambunctious (and love and adorable) dogs. She sent me pics throughout the evening as well, which was so lovely to receive.”
“Sierra was fantastic! She saved us when our planned arrangement fell through and was very caring and responsible with our anxious poodle. When he got sick from worry she took him to the vet, gave him lots of extra care, and even organized a playdate with a new friend they met at the dog park. Definitely went above and beyond!”
“Stephanie took excellent care of my diabetic dog who had some surprise additional restrictions after a tooth removal earlier that week. Additionally, she left my house spotless.”
“Maureen did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She was reliable, friendly, clean, and responsive to all our messages. She even sent us photo updates reassuring us that all was going well. We will definitely ask for her help in the future!”
“Autumn stayed over night with our dog, Melvin. She was very responsive and easy to work with. She provided great updates about Melvin and left our place neat and tidy. Thank you!”
“Anik was an amazing cat sitter! Excellent communication, genuine care, and incredible attention to detail throughout the entire stay. The cats received so much love and attention. Anik went above and beyond, including taking the time to train French Fry to run on the wheel! That extra effort and patience really showed how much Anik cared about making the cats happy and comfortable. We would definitely book with Anik for future care.”
“Vanessa was flexible and understanding with my schedule changes and was dedicated to caring for my fur baby! She sent pictures daily and was great about communicating, including when my kitty began to have some GI issues. Though it wasn't in the plan, she was able to find and administer medication successfully. I was glad to come home to a clean apartment and a contented fur baby. Vanessa has become my kitty's favorite person besides me. I definitely recommend her for your fur baby! :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in middle school, often dog sitting for neighbors and friends! I grew up with dogs and now have a sweet 2 year old terrier of my own I'm currently working full time so I am looking for more weekend and holiday gigs! This being said I work downtown and usually get off right at 5, so can do evening walks. I have a friendly 20 lbs terrier of my own who loves to play play play! Your pup will certainly not be bored if staying at my home.
“Ashley was a dream sitter! Our shy, skittish pup fell in love with her immediately — he looked so happy and at ease even in the very first picture she sent! She was communicative, followed his medicine regimen, and clearly cared about him. We wouldn’t trust just anyone to be with our boy during his least favorite day of the year (July 4), but Ashley went above and beyond to make sure their time together was safe and fun!”

Another amazing stay with Jess! She always takes such great care of our two black labs, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s incredibly responsive, flexible, and makes everything so easy. We also really appreciate how well she takes care of our home—you’d never even know she was here when we return! It’s such a relief knowing our pups and home are in great hands. We highly recommend Jess and look forward to having her back!
Samantha was wonderful with my pup. She was fantastic to work with - sending photos and communications on a regular basis. My dog was really comfortable with Samantha from first meeting her and that made me comfortable leaving her in her care. I will definitely use Samantha again. She took wonderful care of my pup and my home.
Shawn was great with Rosi! She is an anxious velcro dog, and I was nervous to leave her overnight so soon after adopting her. She seemed calm and happy with Shawn, and he sent updates with photos to give us peace of mind. He also helped her with medication and an altered diet due to some tummy troubles she’d been having prior to us leaving her.
Hannah was wonderful!! She took wonderful care of our older dog and was a fabulous communicator. She sent messages to let me know how our dog was doing, along with lots of pictures. You can tell she really loves dogs. She also took good care of our home and left things just like we left them. I would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely reach out to have her dog sit again.
Pam was, as always, absolutely perfect with our pup. She is so patient with his quirks, takes him on frequent, long walks, and is super communicative. She even left the TV on to soothe him after heading out 🥹 Pam went above and beyond and went back to let Ted out hours after the original booking ended because our flight was delayed. She is the reason we are able to travel with peace of mind!
Krista did a great job dog/house sitting for me while I was out of town. Super responsive and sent daily pictures. Even did a few extra things for me that came up unexpectedly. My dog was happy and her normal self when we returned. Would 100% book with her again!
Kirsten was AWESOME! She did a fantastic job! Our Maizey loved her and was so comfortable with her. Plus she was very communicative so we felt we could talk to her at any time. She was also great about sending us info every day, sometimes multiple times/day, as well as great photos and videos. I would highly recommend her!
Lindsey watched out large lab and our older cat while we were out of town, she bonded instantly with the pets, took our dog on multiple walks a day, sent photos and kept us informed each day we were gone. When we returned our house was neat and our pets were happy and well cared for, I would highly recommend Lindsey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Burke is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $83 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 827 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
