“Brandy has been our primary sitter for the last few years. Our travels take us away from our fur babies every few months and she is steady and reliable. Our pets look forward to her and I am able to travel with confidence knowing that she is taking care of things. I highly recommend her.”
“Rory was amazing! He took such great care of our Isabella - sending us regular updates and photos. He was very concerned that she was getting the attention and walks she needed and appreciated her love of sleeping on beds. Would definitely book Rory again!”
About: I have been animal sitting, more specifically dog sitting for two years consistently now, but have taken care of animals for 10 years. I tend to take on extended stays, which include taking care of the home. The longest stay I’ve had was two months for two sweet yorkies. Not only can I take good care of your animals, but my job as a nanny has honed my house keeping skills! I have two mini Aussie-doodles and an orange cat at home, my pride and joys :) all animals deserve a lot of love, and doing this job is a total win for us both! I am timely, clean, organized, and I LOVE taking soooo many pictures of all of the animals I get to meet. Meaning I will be sending you lots of photos you can treasure while you are away and when you get back! I am available for boarding any day of the week! I work 7:30-3 PM on Monday-Thursday, and 7:30-1:30 PM on Friday. I do not get a lunch break, so the animal would need to get through the day without being let out until after the above times. I would be in the home (for boarding) when I am not at work. This would exclude time for going to the gym. Drop in’s are available any time I am not at work! After chatting and meeting with my clients, we will find the perfect routine for your fur baby! I understand each animal has a different daily routine and has different needs, so I can accommodate to that! I ensure quiet, playful, and gentle environments with lots of pets, cuddles and attention to keep the animals stimulated and happy.
About: I grew up being around dogs my whole life. We typically had at least 2 and they have always been treated as family members. I lived with a cat in college and brought my own baby home shortly after. We have two cats at home, and I would love to spend even more time with animals!! I work full time and live in the same city. Depending on the weekend, I don’t typically have a lot going on and would love to be around animals more. I am pretty active so I would gladly take walks! We have two cats that are strictly indoor. They basically have free rein of the house. I understand that pets can be reserved around unknown people, so I am willing to build that trust and just hang out if needed.
“Amazing!! That’s all there is to say. We’ve gone thru a few different dog sitters recently due to life changes and we are so impressed by Eliza! She truly takes care of your dog like it’s her own. We were gone for two weeks and had not used her so was a little nervous but she was great! We will be reaching out again!”
About: I grew up with parents as dog breeders. At a young age, I learned how to take care of animals. I have lots of experience with taking care of animals. I am currently a graduate student. I will be at school during the day but have breaks to care for animals. I am free in the evenings and weekends. I will come to your house and care for your animals. When they are outside, I will make sure to keep an eye on them or have them on a lease if needed.
About: My life is National Dog Day. When I was little my dad was a breeder, so every summer we had about 15 lab puppies running around. I named one Buddy every time. I have over 20 foster dogs and cats under my belt and recently had a mama and 7 puppies in my home for 2 months. I can guarantee the ever important photo and video updates of your pet. Thank you for looking and feel free to reach out! Annie I currently work part time at a clinic. However, On days I work I am available early mornings and evenings after five as well as weekends! With my experiencing in fostering I’ve learned every dog has drastically different needs, wants and energy levels. Feel free to reach out if your dog has special needs and wants!
“Michelle was awesome, super flexible with some schedule changes and was very attentive to my dogs individual needs. They loved spending time with her. I would for sure use her again when the time arises.”
“Jamie did really good With Sophie and Luci. They did not have any abnormal reactions when we returned. Jamie left Our home Neat and clean, but most Importantly she communicated and sent pictures. We plan to use Jamie in the future”
About: I’m an animal lover and experienced foster who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I treat every pet like my own and love giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. I’d be happy to care for your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m a mom raising 2 more animal lovers, and by day a travel agent, and huge animal lover with a flexible schedule. I’m available for a variety of schedules, including weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine. Pets in our home get kenneled if people aren't present. We don't have a fenced in yard, but have 3 tie outs in the yard. In a clients home it would be as a "what's needed/necessary" basis per the owner.
“Melissa was attentive with my pets, and they were very much at ease when I returned. She has a great deal of experience with animals, and she clearly enjoys being around critters of all kinds. She was a pleasure to talk with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from smaller breeds like dachshunds to larger dogs like Labs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve also dog-sat for family members and a family friend, caring for their dogs while they were away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, playtime, and affection. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own! I work full-time during the day, so I’m primarily available for pet care during evenings, weekends, and select holidays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate drop-ins and walks when my schedule allows! I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable and follow their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure before leaving. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!
“This was our first time using Rover and Sharron was an incredible first impression! She did drop ins with our two bulldogs and it’s safe to say the dogs had as much fun as we did on our vacation! Highly recommend Sharron. She’s a great communicator, sends the best pictures and has great attention to detail with specific dog needs. We’ll be regulars!”
“Amber was wonderful and took very good care of our dogs. One had a small injury that happened the day before she started watching them and she was amazing about rolling with that punch.”

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 Burkhardt 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 Burkhardt 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 Burkhardt 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.
