“Trevor was such a great sitter for our labradoodle, Odin. From the start his communication was consistent, clear and he included plenty of updates and pictures. We have our dog on a pretty consistent schedule and Trevor was able to accommodate to everything. We appreciate Trevor and know Odin loved having him with him! Can’t recommend Trevor enough.”

“Vanessa is an outstanding dog sitter. She took such good care of our sweet girl while we were on vacation for about 5 days. We got tons of video and picture updates, and she also helped out with a few things around the house. We trust her completely and would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or care for their pets.”
“Such a smooth experience! Nathan was so accommodating from the meet and greet, to making another trip just before booking to get all the details, and he provided excellent communication! We were able to get away and enjoy leaving our 3 fur babies (2 cats and a dog) in Nathan’s care six days. He loves his job and takes it very seriously will definitely be using Nathan’s services again! Thank you Nathan, we appreciate you and are so thankful you made everything go so smoothly!”

“Ashley was amazing with our animals. They loved her and did better with her than they have in the past with other people. She sent us so many pictures while we were away which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be rebooking with Ashley anytime we are out of town!”
About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Daisy "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for." "When I'm caring for your pets in your home, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."
“Kayla was absolutely amazing! I’m so grateful to her and her daughter for showering my kitty with love and playtime while I was away. Kayla truly went above and beyond what I could have expected from a house and pet sitter. When I returned home, everything was spotless - she even washed the sheets, took out the trash, and handled other/extra details. I loved getting regular updates and photos of my kitty, which gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. If I weren’t moving soon, I’d absolutely ask Kayla to house sit for me again without hesitation. Thank you so much, Kayla! You were truly the best!”
“Makaelah was so easy to work with and took exceptional care of my Gidget as well as my house. Gidget is older so she requires a little more care than other dogs, and Makaelah stayed on top of everything, making sure to give me daily updates and photos. I came home to thriving plants that had been watered according to my instructions, a house that was just the way I left it and a happy pet. Would definitely use Makaelah again and recommend to anyone looking for a top notch pet and house sitter.”
“This was our first visit with Billy. I gave a long list of concerns about our 95lb coonhound and Huskypoo that likes to run away. He came back to walk the dogs later that night and walked into a mess that our pups had created. I'll spare the details, but Billy promptly contacted me that he had 3 dead chickens to clean up (2 inside the house). He didn't call me freaking out, and in turn I would freak out. He text me the info and we talked. He asked for a broom to clean them up. A BROOM?? Billy went went wayyy over the top for us and cleaned up and removed 3 dead chickens before we even got home. I've got a ton of respect for the way he handled the situation and our pups. Needless to say, Billy is our dude now. Thanks, Billy!”
“Great sitter, our girl just fell in love with her and even would look to see if would return after she left. We will surely use her again as she took great care with Mitzi's special needs and gave her the attention she wanted. AAA+”
“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.

“Kaylin is the quintessential pet and house sitter! She was excellent. Her communication was superb (pics, videos and updates several times a day). She looked after my home incredibly well, and my dog Bindi liked her straight away! She went above and beyond with regards to house sitting and pet sitting, which I appreciated. I have already booked her again, and will do so again in the future!”
“Kimmie is always my go to person. This time she had some issues with one of our pets getting sick. The directions we left her were confusing so she called us. I always appreciate receiving a call from Kimmie, especially to let me know one of our pets was sick. We cleared up the medication instructions and when I got home my pet was well on the way back to health. Thank you Kimmie for being so responsive and calling me.”
About: Hi there! I’m Courtney and I have three years of dog training under my belt, I've trained and cared for hundreds of dogs and animals of all varieties. From puppies, to senior dogs, to anxious dogs. From cats, to birds, even to snakes. I also house sit and take care of plants, mail, and all the extra house things at no extra cost. I take care of everything. I currently work in marketing at a 9-5 and I am remote on Wednesdays. I am a homebody and am usually always available, and trying to raise money to pay off student loans. I take them on long walks, make sure they have indoor play time, lots of cuddles, fed, watered, treats, and have background music on so they are not anxious. I am always talking to them so they can hear my voice and know that I am in a relaxed and friendly mood.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and other pets since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for taking care of their pets! I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care. Available for boarding and home sitting weekdays and weekends. I have one small breed dog. I don’t have a fence or yard but I live in front of a big field and park where I take my small breed to play with and without leash.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burnet on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnet. 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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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 Burnet 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 Burnet. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
