“Ryckie was super sweet and really wonderful with our senior dog, who has terrible arthritis, is a finicky eater, and needs extra attention due to his need to "potty" often. She made sure to keep him company whilst we were out of town, and our home was perfectly cared for. She even switched a day up due to an error on my behalf, and we are so grateful for her flexibility. Highly, highly recommend!”

“We are really excited to have found Daniella. She is very reliable and competent. She did everything we needed plus some. She took care of our 3 dogs and our horse. She sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs are my babies and it makes me anxious to leave them but I could tell in the pictures they were enjoying themselves and happy so I could relax and enjoy myself. We will definitely use Daniella again.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities and truly love spending time with animals. I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every pet like family. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life, including my sweet RayRay, who taught me so much about patience, love, and the special bond we share with our pets. I recently adopted my French Bulldog, Ichabod (“Iggy”), and I’m continuing to learn and understand each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“Donna was amazing with all my little doggies. She really went the extra mile to ensure my doggies were comfortable and well taken care of. She was very sweet to my boys and did everything just as I would do so that made me feel so content leaving them with her. She sent me photos and text updates my entire trip and I very much loved seeing them everyday. She’s amazing and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Donna for all that you did I really appreciate you.”

About: Hi! My name is Mitzi, and I’m 24 years old. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for more than half of it, and caring for them truly comes naturally to me. I currently have two spayed Shih Tzus and a friendly Doberman, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. My dogs do great around other dogs, and I’ve also cared for family members’ and friends’ pets while they’ve been away on vacation, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your fur baby. I have experience with both long-haired and short-haired dogs, and I genuinely love everything that comes with caring for them. Whether it’s daily walks, potty breaks, feeding on a regular schedule, keeping up with grooming and appointments, or just giving them love and attention, I make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Dogs are honestly my way of de-stressing, and spending time with them is something I truly enjoy. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to make them feel loved while you’re away. I am in nursing school, so i can either come during online classes or after in person class! My schedule is also open part time I live in a spacious household, my house is fenced front and back! I can also crate train your dog in your home or mine
About: I am a registered nurse working mostly night shifts. That means I'm off during the day! I can do overnights if needed. It also means I know how to handle dirty situations. I'd love to walk your furry dog. I grew up with two to three dogs in the house. I do not have a dog here in California so i'm missing hanging out with dogs! I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. Let me take care of your animal while at work, on vacation, or otherwise. Im super responsible, punctual, and have reliable transportation. I can take the dog on a hike, crab digging on the beach, or an easy walk in the neighborhood. Let me know the dog needs and i'll be right there!
“Adding in to my earlier review, as I mentioned Rebecca did 2 back to back jobs for us. She also watches the house, the pool and our fish tank. We provided a list of instructions and briefed her on them ahead of time; all went according to our requests. She did tell us that she had school commitments up front and we discussed how long she would be out of the home in advance. It was never very long and our Bogie was kept comfortable throughout. Rebecca was professional in her communications and ensured we had all the information to make the right decision for our pet. We were very pleased with Rebecca's efforts and will be asking her for future bookings.”

“Melissa was very helpful and watching Miss Bella and even took pictures to send them to me. She walked her frequently.. I would use Melissa again Miss Bella really enjoyed her.”


About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always had pets of my own. Caring for animals comes naturally to me because I truly love being around them. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to dogs/cats of different sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to check in on, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I treat every animal like my own. Because I’m currently taking online classes, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets more attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure each pet gets dedicated time, exercise, and attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you always feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and house rules. I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure. I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, pets are supervised during walks or playtime, and any special needs are handled with care. I create a calm, positive environment so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away.
“Ariel gave amazing care to our elderly dog who needs medications and can get quite lonely. She went above and beyond to give her cuddles and love so that she didn’t feel alone while we were gone. We will definitely be using Ariel again 💗”

“Natalia is wonderful. She took such great care of my elder cat when I was away. Great communication, timely photos, and she left the house cleaner than I left it. I’m grateful for Natalia and will definitely ask her to care for Precious in the future. 🤗”

“Wonderful experience! Elizabeth was very sweet with our dogs! They seemed to love her! She was very communicative and followed our requests and asked great questions! And I love all the pics and the video we received! She also left a lovely card in our screen for when we got home! Thank you Elizabeth! We will definitely be booking again!”

About: I am a dog owner, looking to care for other dogs at my home! I have a very playful 2year old Labrador who would love to have company. Two is better than one. My wife and I would take care and keep an eye on your fur babies when you’re out for travel, short trips, vacaciones holidays or others occasions. I have a fenced yard for play and potty time. I also have a full house so you dog would never be alone because I work from home and so does my wife. We let our dogs roam free in the house.

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my life to raising puppy’s to full growth elder dogs. I have two dogs of my own. French bulldogs and they can be a challenge but I’m always up for a challenge. I love going on walks with them and love teaching them new tricks. I am a college student who goes to school 3 times a week but schedule will be changing but any day I am off I am willing to be with animals to love and care for them I have a full fenced backyard, I make sure that when the pets outside I am outside with them and when they are in the house I make sure there are no choking hazards lying around. And when walking outside that their leash is properly secured
About: I have been lovingly caring for pets and homes since I was 17, making pet sitting and babysitting second nature to me. For the past 20 years, I have happily looked after animals for friends and neighbors, providing attentive, loving care and ensuring their homes are well cared for while they are away. My experience includes following detailed instructions on the care of both plants and animals, so every need is met with thoughtfulness. Having cared for a variety of pets—from guinea pigs to cats, dogs, lizards, and tortoises—I am comfortable and confident in providing personalized care for each unique companion. Through various housekeeping jobs, I’ve incorporated pet care seamlessly into my daily routines, whether that’s feeding, playing with, or simply offering companionship to the animals. I genuinely care about your loved ones and your home, and I strive to be the trusted person you can rely on to provide nurturing care and peace of mind while you’re away. I' am currently working part time and have plenty of time to care and play for your babies. With years of experience and joy for animals. Available weekends, and most weekdays after 10am. Animal friendly home, open space to play and roam. Fenced area in back yard and front yard. I have myself 2 cats a dog and 2 chickens that live together in harmony. Animals are on a set schedule for feeding with designated areas and bowls that are cleaned regulary. Toy baskets for enrichment and daily walks around the neighborhood with a local park justs down the street.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 637 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnham. 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 Burnham 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 Burnham 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 Burnham 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.

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.
