About: I’m a very loving individual and you will see that. I steered into the Medical Field for a little but my heart is in animals and giving them the attention they need. I have worked at Rover Oaks as a Doggie Daycare attendant. From being bitten to having snuggling moments, I wouldn’t change my thought or reconsider any animal that I’ve taken care of. I have had animals my whole life. No dog/cat is too much for me. I love each one! I give baths and clip nails. As well as I can give medications if needed. I will be going to school to become a Vet Tech Assistant next year. I am CPR certified. I would be honored to take care and give love to your animals. I’m ready to meet your furry friends!
“Michaela was amazing! She took such good care of our fur babies. She communicated very well and sent many updates. The house was even cleaner than when I left it. I would recommend Michaela to any friend.”
“Tuongvi is amazing!! She always sends pictures throughout the day and has taken care of our two crazy dogs many times now, once for 12 straight days. She has stayed extra time and communicates quickly every time. I will definitely always trust her with my dogs and my cats.”
About: Caring for animals isn't just something I do it's something I truly love. It all started with my first job as a dog bather, where I learned how to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. That passion grew into earning my Veterinary Assistant license in high school, followed by two years of hands on experience as a Kennel Technician first at a boarding facility, then at a veterinary clinic caring for dogs and cats of all ages and needs. Let's set up a meet and greet so I can start spoiling your pet! 🐶🐱 I’m currently freelancing, which means I have plenty of availability for daily walks, drop-in visits, and home care the perfect way for your pet to get all the attention, exercise, and love they need while you’re away! 🐾 I'll keep your dog or cat's routine steady with feeding, playtime, and lots of love, while your home stays clean and cozy. I'll send photos and videos along the way, so you always have a little smile waiting for you. 🐾📸💕
“Sandy took exceptional care of our two golden retrievers while we were out of town. This was the second time we trusted her, and he exceeded expectations again. She is dependable, conscientious, and genuinely loving with our dogs. We received regular updates, returned to happy, well-cared-for pets, and felt complete peace of mind throughout the trip. We highly recommend Sandy to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate dog care. Every interaction showed kindness, responsibility, attentiveness, and dedication.”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! Before our appointment, she took the time to meet Mona, get familiar with our area, and understand all of her needs. On the day of the appointment, she was punctual, and kept me updated throughout, which I really appreciate it. Most importantly, Mona was so happy to spend time with her! I highly recommend Sydney and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Sydney!!!”
“Sherry came to the rescue at the last minute to stay for 4 days with my pups after my dogsitter cancelled. I was unable to meet her but she graciously met my best friend to be introduced to Finn and Charlie. She played ball with them and gave them lots of snuggles as well as sent photos and stayed in communication with us while we were gone. Will be calling Sherry in the future.”
“Emily was great, very attentive and provided lots of daily feedback and photos. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. I would certainly recommend her for your dog/house sitting needs.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets.

I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe and caring hands. I prioritize your pet’s well-being by maintaining a secure environment, by keeping doors and gates locked, monitoring them during walks, or ensuring they stick to their normal routine as best as I can. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority, so you can rest assured knowing they’ll be treated with the same love and respect as my own.

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 Burleigh 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 Burleigh 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 Burleigh 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!

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 .
