“This was Faiths 3rd time taking care of my pets and as always she was a professional and such a sweetheart. She treats my pets as if they were her own and my pets simply adore her. She’s honest and respectful of my home and I really feel like I have a family member staying at the house when shes there. I highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, attention, and adaptability I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, which means taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work fulltime but weekends I am fully available! I love animals and always have since I was little. Growing up we’ve always have had dogs and cats. I have a fenced yard and we have plenty of room for the dogs to run around. I do also have a pug that is 6 years old but he is super friendly.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little my family would rely on me to watch the dogs if they went out of town. I have also fostered litters of kittens and I’ve babysat puppies. And have taken care of sick animals.

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.
About: I've taken care of small, medium, and large dogs at different levels of need such as textured food prepping, outdoor activities, proper bathroom timing, etc. With a loving heart, the dogs in my care are always provided for. I work during the day Monday through Friday but am available all evenings and all day on weekends. I try to keep active, so I enjoy the play and the exercise with the pets that need it. Depending on what the pets' schedules look like, I try to adapt to their homes and what the pet parents want, keeping things done in a timely manner and making sure they get to play in and outside the home within a designated area.
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog Domino has received. I feel completely relaxed and at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Domino can be a little particular, but the patience, attention, and genuine love he’s shown makes all the difference. I truly appreciate the updates and how comfortable and content he looks. It’s such a relief to travel and know he’s not just being watched—he’s being cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Chyle does such an amazing job! She sends lots of updates and cares for my dogs like they’re her own, all 3 of my dogs love her and are always so excited to see her again.”
“Wow! If I had to describe a perfect pup sitter it is Kaitlyn. She was amazing! Great updates, house was perfect, dogs were given a bath. She definitely is above and beyond!”
“We are always able to completely relax and enjoy our time away when Shauna takes care of our girls. She even does extra things like watering plants and checking the mail. I love the updates with pics too.”
“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!”

“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. :)”
About: Hello, my name is Danielle! I am a freelance photographer out of Clovis CA & a single mom of one kiddo & three very spoiled doggies. I have been rescuing & working with animals since I can remember, & it's such a joy! I'd love to come meet, play & walk your fur baby anytime! I'm free on week days & weekends from 7am to 7p.m… most days I go to work from home so I’m always available to help with any of your pet sitting, drop ins or house sitting needs. I have a huge park next to our townhouse with a nice dog park with loads of room to play & run, and lots of trails to walk too!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, cats and dogs of every shape, size, and temperament, and that upbringing shaped how I see the bond between people and their pets: not as ownership, but as companionship built on trust. Today I share my life with my husband and Tate, our six-year-old Lab / Australian Shepherd / Husky / Border Collie mix, whose energy for fetch and love of people remind me daily why that bond matters. Caring for animals isn't a task to me, it's second nature, rooted in years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for them. I wanted to be a veterinarian as a child, but as I got older I found my path in communications and marketing instead. What I didn't expect was how naturally that skill set would translate, my love for connecting people with brands mirrors the same intuition I bring to connecting people with their pets. I see the deep need for structure and training in the relationship between pets and their owners, and I've worked hard to train Tate to practice safety and recall, both on walks and during play. That foundation has kept her steady and confident in more situations than I can count… I am so proud to say I raised her from a puppy into the confident girl she is today. Whether it's a game of fetch in the yard, a long walk, or simply keeping a watchful eye while you're away, I treat every dog in my care with the same patience and attention I'd want for my own. I know that leaving your pet with someone else means placing something precious in their hands, and I don't take that lightly. Safety, structure, and attentiveness aren't just values I hold for my own Potato girl, they're the standard I bring into every home and every walk. When you book with me, you can trust that your pet is being watched over by someone who genuinely understands them, not just someone watching the clock.

I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time M-F 8-5pm. I can do evening drop ins/walks by 5:30pm. Weekends are typically very open. You can rely on me on weekdays 5:30-9:30pm and weekends fully available morning-evening.

During visits, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine-whether that includes feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or snuggles. I always follow owner instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet.

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.
<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 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 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 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.
