“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.”
“Alyssa was the absolute best! She took such good care of our babies and gave us updates all throughout the stay! We never had to worry about if the boys were okay, because she constantly gave us reassurance! She left our home cleaner than we left it! I can not recommend Alyssa enough! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Ellen did an excellent job of house/pet sitting for us. She was very professional, kind and polite. My animals immediately warmed up to her and were happy to have her around. She made me feel secure in my decision to travel, leaving my pets behind. She send lots of text and picture updates throughout our trip. She did a fantastic job.”
“Abigail was amazing! She watched our two golden retrievers and spent a lot of time playing with them and meeting all their needs. She was extremely communicative and kept us in the loop the entire time which we loved! I would highly recommend booking with her. 10/10!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, playtime, and love while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time caring for and playing with your pets. I’m available for pet care on weekends and during my weekday availability. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision while also following their usual routines and any instructions you provide.
“Tuongvi and her Boyfriend were available at the last minute for an out of state trip after another sitter fell through. Despite the stress that caused, I am so relieved it happened. I will absolutely be scheduling future overnights with them. My Boxer-Pit mix has separation anxiety and is dog/animal reactive. I have only left her overnight one other time so needless to say I was nervous about a long weekend away from her. Tuongvi was responsive and communicative from the minute I reached out about booking. She came over prior to the trip so I could show them my space and familiarize them and my dog. During my trip, I received regular pictures and updates. It was abundantly clear my dog was well cared for and loved.”
About: I have owned many dogs in my life. From big dogs to little senior chihuahuas have I had the pleasure of caring for in my home. I also grew up around horses, pigs, cats, chickens, and goats! I can’t remember ever having any aggressive experiences. I am working part time and will also be starting esthetician school part time. I will be working and doing school from 7-5. During my free time and weekends I can care for your pet. I am attentive. I can crate, feed, walk, and occupy your pet as needed. My own dog gets play time daily, fed once a day and plenty of outside time!
About: I have 2 plus years of working at an animal rescue and volunteering at rescues most of my life. Dogs and cats of all ages. My pets mean everything to me! I have had over 2 pets my entire life ranging from cats and dogs to even guinea pigs. Throughout my daily life I am constantly taking care of not just my family’s pets but also my elderly neighbors dog as well. I love my pets and would do whatever it takes to make sure they are loved and safe, and I will do the same for yours. I work early in the morning and have two shifts throughout the morning from 6-9:30 and 2-5. Before I leave for work I make sure all my dogs have gone to the bathroom and have what they need before I head to my first shift. Then in between my shifts I will play with my dogs and make sure they are well taken care of before I go back to work. After my shifts are done for the day I get home feed my pups and relax with them the rest of the day, besides the occasional walk.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I bring years of experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets. My last two dogs lived to the wonderful ages of 15 and 16, giving me invaluable insight into every stage of a pet’s life. Working from home allows me to provide constant attention, whether it’s for walks, potty breaks, or just companionship. I’m also highly organized and reliable, with reminders set to ensure medications or special care needs are never missed. Your pet will be in loving, experienced hands My flexible schedule is perfect for providing attentive and consistent care. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day and night for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. This also means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will always have someone nearby for comfort and supervision. 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.
“Monic is SO amazing and so down to earth! 💜🐶💜🐱She house sat for me and prior to that spoke with me and got to know my pets to figure out a schedule that provided the love and care closest to my furbabies normal every day routine! I was so happy every step of the way and felt very reassured that I was leaving my animals and home in the best hands. It warmed my heart so much to hear how much she enjoyed the company of my furbabies. I would 1000% recommend her if you ever need someone to watch your pets!”
About: Hi I’m skye I love dogs especially little dogs and puppies. I do have my own dog so if you board or doggy day care he has a friend to play with and there own room with lots of toys to play with. I’ve been watching dogs for friends not only in my home but house sitting as well so I’m very trust worthy. Every time I see a stray I can’t help rescuing every chance I get. If you want to bring your dogs toys or crate your more then welcome. If you have strict rules for your pet please let me know or leave a list for me. If you want your dog being watched by a real dog lover I’m definitely the one to use.
About: I’ve had the joy of caring for pets through all stages of life, from raising playful puppies to providing extra love and attention to senior pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. Whether your pup needs lots of playtime and exercise, a senior pet needs a slower pace and extra patience, or your pet simply needs a little companionship, I’m happy to provide care tailored specifically to them. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in loving and reliable hands. I work full-time remotely during the week, so I’m especially available for weekend pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I’m also open to discussing weekday care depending on the timing and your pet’s needs. My goal is to make pet care convenient for you while keeping your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Sarah was very easy to work with and responsive. Even with a small hiccup, we had updates on arrival and during her time at our home and photos daily. Our home was maintained as if it were her own. We are already booking her again.”
“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!!!”
“Andrew was so great! He gave us such peace of mind while we were away for a week. He sent us daily updates and photos. The pups were taking care of and in good spirits. He took extra time to make sure our dogs were comfortable before we left. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always been around animals my whole life. Whether it was a dog, a bird or cats I’ve never went a year without one. Now I love taking care of all kinds of animals I just came from Tennessee and tried to transfer with my job, however all the positions here were taken. Now I’m filling my time by doing what I love most and putting my full time into taking car of fur babies. I love giving them pets or even playing with them outside. Any toys that the client provides would be best since they’re the ones who know what their fur babies love the most. Even if no toys are around, I love keeping your fur babies busy with fun

“This was our first time to have Tamanda over to pet/house sit for us and she did an amazing job. She took care of all the things I asked her to do and was very up front with me when she had to run errands. When we returned home, everything was just as I left it and of course the most important thing is that she took excellent care of my babies as I could tell when I got home. She put her heart into it!! Thanks again Tamanda. You Rock!!”
About: ’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. From working in an animal shelter to fostering dogs and helping care for newborn puppies, animals have always been a big part of my life. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior pets, sick animals, rescues, and pets that need medication or extra attention. I know how important it is to have someone patient, dependable, and loving caring for your pets while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’ll always care for yours like they’re part of my own family. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for dogs to safely run and play. Our home backs up to little league fields, so there can occasionally be some noise and activity, but it also creates a fun, lively environment that many dogs enjoy. In our home, pets are family. Our dogs are spoiled with love, cuddles, couch time, and plenty of attention, and I’ll treat your pets with that same level of care and affection while they’re with me. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll always do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 864 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burleigh. 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 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.
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 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!
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.
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 .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burleigh. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
