“Katie was so kind and accommodating with our dog. We had her booked in advance for two separate stays and the day before our first trip, one of our dogs very unexpectedly passed away. She was a great problem solver and helped us to work out a new plan, enabling us to have piece of mind in going away in this upsetting time period. She helped make a very difficult time easier, and we loved our daily photo updates and reports on his behaviour. Thank you Katie! I know Stu will be looking forward to staying with your family in the future at some point :)”
“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”
About: I have had pets my entire life, and have always been that neighbor who can walk, bathe, play, and take care of dogs, and spend quality cuddle time with cats! I have experience with mostly well-trained dogs, but I am comfortable with puppies as well. I can handle small or large dogs, monitor play sessions to ensure safety, and provide excellent care. I am comfortable working with the following: - Dogs (puppies, adults, seniors) - Cats (kittens, bottle feeding, potty training, bathing, adults, seniors) - Bunnies (handling, feeding, exercise) - Guinea pigs (handling, feeding) I would love to care for your pets! I have full all-day availability during my school breaks over the holidays. I do have a car and license so I can take dogs to parks or hikes, as well as organize playdates. I can do dog walking, dog playdates, outings, and house-sitting. I have been working with animals in a professional capacity for over 6 years now, both through farm work and over 100 fosters. I have been involved with kitten fostering with the Peninsula SPCA for 6 years, taking in orphaned kittens and preparing them for adoption. I have valuable experience working with very under-socialized kittens and cats. I have also been walking and dog sitting with my neighborhood dogs for many years now, almost always working with adult dogs over 60lbs. I create strong and honest relationships with my clients based on giving their pets the best care possible.
“Samantha was so so great with our dog! Our husky can be a diva and she was so patient and communicative with us while we were away. It was so great knowing that our dog was so excited to see her every time she checked in.”
About: I have raised my almost 13 year old husky since he was a few months old, so I've handled both ends of the spectrum, from puppy training (potty training, crate training, puppy play time) to senior care as he approaches 13. Whether it's cleaning up messes or complex medication regiments, I'm comfortable and confident with pets of all sizes at any stage and I'd love to bring that same care to your dog. I'm self-employed and work from home full time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. My husky and I go on multiple walks a day as part of our normal routine, and I have plenty of time and energy to share with more furry friends. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that's a quick drop-in visit, playtime in the backyard, a walk around the neighborhood, or a trip to the park. I'm attentive to each dog's comfort level and adjust activities to what they enjoy most, so every visit feels safe and fun for them.
About: I have been a dog lover and owner for 20+ years. I love introducing new friends to my friendly 5 year old Poodle Terrier, Boba, as well as provide exercise services to pets who have busy parents. I have recently taken a break from the corporate grind, so I am available any time Monday through Friday. Weekend availability is possible if needed. I have a friendly 5 year old Poodle Terrier named Boba, who gets walked at least 3-4 times a day. I have a spacious one bedroom apartment and can take on short boarding. I can also make house calls if needed.
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!
“We engaged Chenyang for several drop-in visits to take care of our cats. She is very responsible, communicative, and punctual. She’s detail-oriented and took photos of her work to assure us that everything was in order. She’s very kind and gentle to pets and our cats warmed up to her very quickly. We would definitely work with her next time!”
About: I have been dog sitting my dogs for 5 years and walking them for over 10 years. I have 3 dogs who all have different needs and I am able to provide individual love and care to all. I am currently in graduate school and live in the upper unit of a house. I have 3 dogs with their own unique needs but am able to provide different environments based on their individual needs. I love getting to know the dogs I work with and picking up their habits as well! I am great at going on walks with dogs and would love to be your next dog walker! I love all dogs like they are my own and always ask to pet every dog I see in public. I recently finished my master’s degree and am looking for a job while I study for the MCAT. Currently, I am home all day and able to provide pet care all day. I am flexible on pricing so message me! I love animals, especially dogs and treat every dog like they are my own. I am very loving, but respectful of when dogs want space. I have 3 dogs I help my mom care for while she works 10 hour days during the week. I have boarded dogs before and am able to provide one-on-one care as well as a personal and private space for all pets.
About: My family currently owned a black and white boy Portuguese Water Dog named Maverick that unfortunately passed on January 16 due to lung cancer and a brown one named Nala. Before Maverick and Nala we used to have another boy Portuguese Water Dog named Shasta. I loved Shasta unconditionally and cared for him like any parent would care for their own child, and I do the same with both Maverick and nala when I dog sit or visit my parents. I am currently a working gal in her 20's living in San Francisco. As for my experience with pet sitting, I have been a pet sitter for different friends dogs for seven years now. I started when I was 12, and I was either an overnight pet sitter or I would go to their houses and just take care of the dog for short periods of time. In terms of skills, I am a very friendly, loving, outgoing, energetic kind of girl who loves dogs unconditionally and is fully devoted to making sure that dogs are healthy and properly cared for. I am working remotely full time so I am around and have lots of flexibility. I will love the dogs like they are my own. I am not in a gated community, but there are lots of parks/dog parks around me and a yard. I take the dogs out frequently and play with them.
“Denise is fantastic! We have relied on Denise many times now and she consistently does a great job. She’s smart, great with and knowledgeable about pets, thinks outside the box, and reliable because of those reasons and more. I recently took a trip where I had little to no phone coverage, and I knew I could count on her to take care of any issues that arose if she was not able to reach me. I look forward to relying on Denise again.”
About: I grew up with dogs (a Golden Retriever and Terrier mix) and have since dog sat for many families throughout the years. I love an excuse to walk and spend time outdoors. My children are also very active and enjoy having a dog in our home so your dog is guaranteed a lot of attention, playtime and love. My children are ages 25 (a grad student at UC Davis), 22 (just graduated from UCSC and 18 (living at home and attending community college). I recently moved into an apartment so I no longer have a yard but we do have a nice street view that dogs really enjoy. I have to be mindful of noise having neighbors downstairs and next-door so if your dog tends to bark a lot my home may not be the best fit. Addition services: we had a bunny for 13 years that I really miss. We also offering bunny sitting for neutered and vaccinated buns. I currently work part time at a major airline (4 hours per day) and I typically work 5 days per week giving me plenty of time to spend with your pet. There is usually someone at home either me or my children. We do not have any pets of our own and I only watch one pet at a time. I make sure that everyone in my home is mindful of keeping the door closed.
About: Hi everybody my name is Maya! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was very young ever since I adopted my first dog at 8! 🐕 I’ve had so many pets from dogs, cats, fish, birdies to hermit crabs 🦜 I work part time and finishing up my degree at the local community college in my area so I have tons of free time to take care of your baby! I have a friendly older mini schnauzer and would love to meet your baby! Of course if not, no problem, we have a balcony and tons of space to roam!
“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: My priority is your dog's comfort. I will work to gain their trust and become best friends! I also have experience giving medication and brushing teeth. I am currently a substitute teacher so most days of the week and weekend I am home. My partner and I are homebodies so you can often find us snuggling with our dog Bambi. Bambi and I love to go to the dog park and hiking. Whether your dog is young or old, playful or independent, they will fit in here! I have one friendly dog Bambi that enjoys making new dog friends! Bambi is very small, 8 lbs, but he does well with dogs of all size. We usually go to the dog park several times a week so he can socialize.
About: I grew up caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters, which helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and love for animals. I’ve also cared for dogs for friends and family, handling walks, feeding, and keeping them active and engaged. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every dog with the same care and attention as if they were my own. I work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I always make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets by taking them on safe walks, following their feeding routine, and spending time playing with them. I make sure they’re comfortable, getting enough exercise, and sticking to their normal routine so they feel happy and secure.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. I enjoy being around animals and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time to walk and take care of your pets. I am available more often during the week. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I will be fully focused on your pet. I’m patient and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits, and boundaries.
“Casey showed up on time This visit was to acquaint Kylo with Casey and vice versa as Casey is going to house sit Kylo Kylo took well to Casey! Looking forward to Kylo spending more time with Casey”
About: My life has included dogs since before I could walk. I was able to care for dogs professionally for about 6 years as one of my part time jobs. I had to stop for awhile due to school and a full time job. I miss having dogs apart of my daily life & look forward to caring for your fur babies I work a 9-5 but take long lunch breaks that allow me to go check up on my fur friends. Have enough time in the morning to let them out. And very open evenings for walks & fun. Having the pet in their own home allows for comfortability while getting to know them. Having their every day products, foods and treats at hand makes an easy access to give.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlingame
Rebecca was so great with our cat! She was always very responsive and always on time. She also took great pictures of our cat so we could see how much he was having fun while we were gone! Everything was in great shape when we came back and our cat really took a liking to her as well! Very highly recommend her to take absolutely outstanding care for your fur babies! Will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future cat sitting needs!
Amazing!!! Love Ivana’s prompt, and honest communication. She is flexible and extremely reliable. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and settled in nicely. She kept us updated and sent pictures! Our dogs are our babies and her care gave us so much peace to leave them in her hands.
Andrea is a wonderful cat sitter! She is gentle and patient which helped my cat feel at ease. He warmed up to her very early on, which was a good sign. She’s very responsible, which is reflected in her cards and communication. I really liked my experience with Andrea and look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Claudia was fantastic with Toto - she played with him while I was traveling every workday, she gave consistent and comprehensive updates, she clearly cared for his wellbeing, and was highly professional. I will definitely enjoy working with her again and recommend her to others
Rachel took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a recent trip. She was super communicative with thoughtful updates every day and lots of photos. It was reassuring while we were away. Our cat absolutely adores her. Highly recommended sitter! We will definitely book again soon.
Hope took great care of Biscuit for us. She arrived on time, followed Biscuit’s meal routine, walked her and got her back into the crate reliably. Hope sent me updates and photos, keeping me in the loop on how things were going. Biscuit enjoyed her time with Hope and we would certainly ask Hope to care for Biscuit again. Thanks, Hope!
I highly recommend Yujia! She’s been taking care of my dog for the past 4 weeks and has been great. She feeds her, takes her to the park, and always sends me pictures and updates. My dog seems very happy and comfortable with her. I’m really glad I found her!
Outstanding! I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. She looked after our cats for three weeks and each day gave them excellent care with detailed reports and photos. She outfoxed an invading ant colony, offered to do laundry where cats had sickup-ed, cleaned floors of accidents, brought extra treats, supplies and litter from home.
Jo-Anne took excellent care of our guinea pig, dependably coming over daily during our long time away. She was kind and caring to our piggie, even going above and beyond to bring over extra homemade toys and looking up ways to enrich our piggie’s day. It was such a comfort to know that Jo-Anne was there every day, and we really appreciate her diligent care of our little one. Thank you so much, Jo-Anne!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burlingame is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $44 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 12,385 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burlingame. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
