“Christine is always so communicative and does a great job with our two cats! They even greet her at the door, which is rare for our shy orange boy. We definitely recommend Christine.”
“Tricia was an absolute perfect fit for my dog, a Long haired-german shepherd that requires structure, a firm hand, mental stimulation, and cuddles. Tricha delivered it all, she was very communicative, and made sure to check-in with great updates, and asked questions to clarify anything. I trust her judgement completely, and she was great with Nala, delivering not just a dog walker and in-house sitter, but a great companion and teacher for Nala. If you're not sure if a sitter can handle your dog because they can be slightly reactive or need more attention, Tricia is the sitter for you!”
“Maria is very communicative and my dog absolutely loves her. It's clear that she cares about the dogs she looks after and I feel at peace knowing she is checking in on my little one. I appreciate her detailed updates and photos. We're so happy to have someone like Maria to look after our dog!”
“Zahudy was great. She was very attentive our dog, Oliver, and communicated in detail with us every step of the way. Oliver behaved as if we never left home and I think Zahudy played a major role in him doing so well.”
“Jessica sent photos of suki daily and seemed very well cared for. She had plenty of food and water and was in a good mood so I know she took good care of her”
“Katie recently watched our two senior cats while we were away. She quickly picked up their and our needs and asked good questions. Each visit, she provided an update with photos so we knew when she was visiting with them and how they were doing. We were grateful for her care and plan to contact her again in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Blessy and are more than happy to recommend her! She is incredibly knowledgeable about all things cat-related, and we felt completely at ease leaving our cats, Alex and Lulu, in her care. Blessy is communicative, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout our trip, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also very flexible and accommodating, especially when our plans changed and we needed to add extra visits and adjust the dates and times. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties, and it was clear they were happy and well looked after. She even taught one of cats to spin around for his treat!”
“Rebecca was great with our two cats! One of them takes a while to come around to new people, but Rebecca gave her the space and encouragement to come out during visits and she eventually did!”
About: Hey there! I’ve been pet-sitting friends’ dogs and cats for years. I’m the person at the party that hangs out with your dog near the snacks 😄 Open to overnight stays and also walks/check ins, or local hikes if your pet wants a little adventure. I’m a healthcare admin professional, currently working a hybrid work-from-home schedule. I’m available mid-day through the evenings, and occasionally weekends for overnight stays as well! I am able to travel a bit to petsit your fur friend where they’ll be most comfortable. Can follow any rules you have for your pets, just let me know!
“Hope was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She made the whole experience very easy, especially since it was my first booking, using the app. She sent me updates and pictures and communicated everything. Would definitely book again she was the best and just amazing overall!”
“Jasmeen is an amazing cat sitter! She’s lovely and our cats warmed up to her instantly. She made sure to play with both of our cats (one is less enthusiastic about playing) and even taught them a few tricks. She was very communicative with daily updates, and we felt completely at ease while we were away.”
“Camille was absolutely wonderful! Her thoughtfulness and care while watching my sweet kitty Oliver was more than I could have asked for. She was attentive, asked all the right questions and took a ton of photos to share with me while I was away. I would 1000% book with her again. I felt really safe and secure having my fur baby in her hands. :) Thanks Camille! Couldn't have asked for better!”
About: Hi, I’m Anna! I grew up helping raise my French Bulldog, and caring for him is what made me love dogs from such a young age. After losing him four years ago, I started helping friends and family by walking and caring for their dogs, and it’s become something I truly enjoy. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so I always make sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your pup’s needs and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks, extra playtime, or a slower-paced stroll, I’m happy to give them lots of attention, care, and exercise while they’re with me. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, and I’m able to make walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship a consistent part of my daily routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and giving them plenty of attention and care. I also make sure pets feel comfortable, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates to owners.
About: I’m a loving cat mom of 5+ years with a lifetime of experience caring for cats of all ages. I’m competent in simple dog training and am open to dog-sitting/walking, but cats are by far my specialty. I have proven experience building trust and bonding quickly with new cats, even those with behavioral issues or shy demeanors. I’m a teacher looking for extra summer work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends June-August! I can make up to 5 visits on weekends and 3 visits on select weekdays. I will be nannying part time and will be available before 2pm and after 6pm on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Please message me with any questions! I am soft, gentle and empathetic with all new pets I meet, especially when I’m entering their safe space! My cat was a mean, shy little boy when I adopted him at 7 months; but now at 5 years he’s happy and comfy as can be. I hope to provide this same experience for your pets, whether it be a short drop in or an overnight visit.
“Vanessa was very communicative around planning the visit and she was also very respectful of my cat’s boundaries around new people! She also was skilled in giving my cat her medication with minimal resistance haha. Thank you for taking care of her!”
About: I grew up with labs and lab mixes. I have trained dogs previously. I spent several years volunteering with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Animals have always been very comfortable with me. I am currently looking for work, so I have a flexible schedule. I am able to be available as needed. I understand people's lives are busy, so I try to be flexible for the dog/cat's needs. I respect their home. I treat their home as if it's my own. I respect their fur baby's space. I would never harm an animal, especially one that's part of the family.
“Great communication, friendly, very patient with my shy dog who required coaxing out of his crate initially but was getting belly rubs by the end of the visit. Would absolutely recommend!”

Maria was amazing! My cat Henri is an anxious kitty; Maria knew exactly what to do to make him feel comfortable and safe! She played extensively with my cat (even brought her own toy) and followed instructions closely. She clearly loves cats and her photos of my cat and visit description clearly displayed that! Maria was so flexible and receptive to a last minute booking I had and I am so appreciative of it. I will be booking again with her in the future!
Hope was absolutely amazing with my fur babies. She made the whole experience very easy, especially since it was my first booking, using the app. She sent me updates and pictures and communicated everything. Would definitely book again she was the best and just amazing overall!
Gina was great with my cat who warmed up really quickly to her. She is very friendly and has the patience to allow pets to get familiar with her. She made sure my cat was getting the care and playtime needed during the 4 days we were out of state. I highly recommend booking with her to watch your pets.
Yujie watched my two cats while I was away for almost 10 days, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos regularly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was traveling. I would absolutely book with Yujie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy
Reanne was great with my two cats! She spent a lot of time playing and engaging with the brave one, and gave the shy one the space he needed to come out on his own terms. She also sent me lots of updates and photos. I felt very secure knowing she was taking such good care of them. Highly recommend!
Andrea did an amazing job caring for our kitties, Leya and Simon! We really appreciated how thorough she was and how carefully she followed all of our instructions. She spent lots of quality playtime with Simon, which he absolutely loved, and gave both cats wonderful care and attention while we were away. Andrea was also very respectful of our home, which gave us extra peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burlingame on Rover is $28.86 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 12,258 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burlingame. 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 Burlingame 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 Burlingame. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
