“Faith was so good with my little Wyatt! She was prompt, in fact she came early so I could get away a bit early. And she left the house tidy and neat. I would love to have her come back!”
“We have 2 senior dogs and had our 3 y/o frenchie granddog that Faith cared for through the holidays. We came home to 3 well cared for pups. I will be happy to use her in the future. She is responsible and has a gentle way with the senior dogs. She comes highly recommended!”
“Senjai is a lovely pet sitter! Got pics and house was so clean when we got back. I messed up my original booking and ended it a day early. She caught it and reached out, and was available to stay another day!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth of my hands-on experience with animals in both volunteer and home settings. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I gained experience caring for animals with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs. At home, I’ve also cared for five pets, so I understand the consistency, patience, attentiveness, and responsibility that come with managing multiple animals at once. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual routine and temperament while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and given plenty of attention. I am currently working part-time in a remote position, which provides me with a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for pets. I provide attentive, reliable, and personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular walks and potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, household instructions, and any specific care preferences provided by the owner. I also prioritize maintaining a clean, comfortable, and safe environment so pets can feel secure while their owners are away.

“She did a great job with our senior fur babies who were in love with her. We appreciated her communication and kindness. We will absolutely use her again when we need someone to hang out with our babies. :)”
“Alexis was amazing with my senior cat! Went above and beyond taking Sheba to her regularly scheduled vet tech appointment and had great communication keeping me updated, with some super cute photos of course!”
“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
About: I have lived with cats my whole life. Yet, since then, I happily decided to adopt my 4 beautiful dogs. I couldn't be happier taking care of them plus my cats. I also babysit 2 of my friends dogs and cats at times. All 5 dogs get along great and they keep each other company when I am here and when I am gone. I have also stayed at a couple people's houses and watched their pets while they were out of town. I am available at different times throughout the day but I can also be available at some nights. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them and helping them feel safe and comfortable. The other three days, I feed horses, so I am more limited on what I can do. I hate whenever I see animals that are bored or neglected. I am currently working part-time, but I am perfectly willing to spend what extra time I have taking a dog for a walk or playing catch. Plus, I love taking care of kitties too. I take care of anyone's pets as if they were my own. I want for them to feel as happy, safe and loved as possible.

“Samuel was absolutely fantastic. Very quick with communications and follow up. Communications were consistent and informative. Momo was very happy spending time with Samuel and we would definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Thanh-Mai took great care of our pets while we were away. She did more than what we asked for and went above and beyond to make sure our pets are well. It was raining during our trip out of town and she did not mind coming in more often to check on them. She also made sure they were fed, walked and not be in their crates for too long. Thanh-Mai communicated very well with what she was planning to do and kept us updated with pictures and videos several times a day. She took pride in her job and it shows. We would highly recommend Thanh-Mai with anyone, and will definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: Hi! My name is Lourdes, and I provide loving, reliable pet care for families in the Fresno & Clovis area. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every dog and cat with patience, attention, and care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention they need to feel at home. I’m especially patient with shy pets, high-energy dogs, and pets that need extra reassurance in new environments. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give to every pet. I focus on creating a calm, clean, and stress-free environment while keeping pet parents updated for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs cuddles, exercise, companionship, or overnight care, I make sure they feel loved and well cared for every step of the way. I’m currently a student so I have plenty of time to care for your furry family. I have a flexible schedule and can do over night. I am open for pick up and drop off if need. I have a fence patio to keep your puppy safe. My apartment is open for them to roam around and cuddle with me in my couches. I live near a trail for daily walks.
“Mary took great care of my pets and communicated with me about how they were doing, and she sent daily pictures. She was also very flexible when our travel plans changed, and even made the change request for me on the Rover app when I couldn’t figure it out. She also left a lovely note and a pretty vase of dried flowers. We will definitely request her for future pet sitting needs!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 15. I’ve house sat for my neighbors who have two dogs and a cat on multiple occasions along with taking care of family friends 3 dogs and house sat for many days on end and I loved every second of it. I am currently a college student at Fresno State University, so after I’m done with my classes I have plenty of off time to take care of pets. I have always been an animal lover and will always be gentle with any animal. I make sure that there is no way for them to run away and try to make them as comfortable as possible. I don’t like pushing animals out of their comfort zones and instead let them come to me when they are ready so they know I don’t pose a threat. I will always take care of any animal with love and affection.
About: I have been entrusted by neighbors and family friends to look after their pets for many years, from the span of a few hours to almost a week. The most animals I have looked after at once is 4 dogs and 2 cats! I also try to volunteer at Fresno Bully Rescue whenever I have spare time. I love all animals, but bully breeds have been my favorite since I can remember. I currently work part time at Dutch Bros and I am a full time student at Fresno State, so shorter tasks like walking or drop ins would work best with my schedule. However, I am still open to overnight care if my schedule allows. I will always respect your home and the rules you have for your household and/or pets. If your pet needs to be crated, can only have a certain amount of treats, etc. I will make sure I follow and respect your wishes!

The average cost of House Sitting in Burness is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $80 per night.

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 Burness 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 Burness 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 Burness 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.
