“Addie was wonderful to work with! She took incredibly great care of my pups, was very responsive, and sent me daily updates on how things were going! Definitely will be using Addie again!”
“Jason was awesome and took care of our pup so well! We highly recommend him for his attention to detail and going above and beyond. Our pup definitely enjoyed the time away from us.”
“Ana has done housesitting for us several times, including an extended trip, to care of our human-loving dog. She gives our pup so much love and always leaves the house as if she wasn’t even there. She is great about communicating with photos and text updates and making sure everything is OK. We will continue to use Ana in the future.”
“Duncan watched our two dogs in our home for 3 nights. He was conscientious and communicative before we left and throughout his stay. He sent updates and photos of the dogs and reassured us that all was well while we were away. Bonus points for leaving our apartment very tidy!”
“Klaudia was a great pet sitter! She sent pictures and updates about our pup each day, which was really nice. She was easy to communicate with and we would absolutely book her again.”
“Felicia was fantastic at wrangling my beloved, but extremely difficult, elderly cat with chronic kidney disease! She was able to give my cat transdermal meds and daily subcutaneous fluids, despite my cat hating everyone but me and making an absolute scene about it every time. Felicia's care for my cat and my home made it so I could actually enjoy vacation without checking the pet cam every five minutes. I'm so grateful for her help!”
“Don did a great job watching our Maggie! He was very responsive to us and attentive to our little girl. He would often send us pics of her while we were away. Communication was great and Don did just as he said he would. He even stayed later for us due to our flight being delayed. 100% hope to book Don in the future!”
“Jenny did a great job watching our 2 dogs for 4 nights! She communicated with us on a daily basis, providing pictures and detailed updates. She left the house spotless and even took the sheets and towels to the laundry room! Our dogs were happy and well cared for and we hope to have her back again in the near future!”
About: Hi! I’m Lynnette, a dedicated pet lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve provided dog walking, boarding, drop-in visits, and overnight care, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. As a responsible professional and parent, I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! If you’re looking for reliable, loving care for your dog, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to book a service or send me a message with any questions—I do my best to maintain flexible availability and respond promptly to inquiries. I’m excited to learn more about your pet and help make their care experience stress-free and enjoyable for both of you! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am organized and committed to maintaining each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and secure. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority to provide attentive, dependable care while keeping pet owners updated with photos and messages. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routines and providing a safe, loving environment. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes, provide walks and playtime, administer medications when needed, and give plenty of attention and companionship. In my home, pets receive supervision, exercise, affection, and individualized care based on their personality and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I've been taking care of my friends' and family's pets for years now. At first, I would take care of their cats despite being allergic just so they could have someone reliable (plus I love cats). Within the past year, I've been starting to pet sit for dogs both overnight and stop-in visits. I'm a huge dog lover, from small dogs to big dogs, especially the big ones that still think they're little babies. I would be honored if you trusted me with the care of ur pets <3 (plus I love sending photos of ur pets while ur away just so you know they're in good hands) I currently work 4-8 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm free throughout the morning and after work. I'm starting classes at the start of September, so I'm free to care for ur furry friends any time between those slots. I'm a huge animal lover, so if your pets need extra love when ur away, I can 100% do that. Im also a big nature person, so daily walks are more than fine. I know some animals are afraid of storms or loud noises, and when that happens, I tend to stay with them to offer some comfort so they feel more at ease.
“Leslie was super easy to coordinate with and great with the dogs. I came home to 2 happy dogs. She communicated throughout the stay and sent pictures. We’ll be contacting Leslie again!”
“I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!”
“Brandon was fantastic. He is a great communicator and clearly gave my dogs lots of love and attention while we were away. I highly recommend Brandon for your pet care needs!”
“If there was a way to give more than five stars I would give all of them to Relle. Not only did she take great care of my pets, I feel that she developed a good bond with them as well. I received wonderful updates everyday with photos while I was away and I felt my home was in great hands.”
“Sharon was great with Rosie! She sent lots of updates throughout the day. I highly recommend Sharon and will definitely be contacting her for future boarding/dog sitting.”
“Heli was AMAZING when she stayed in our home to watch our severely speration anxiety ridden cockapoo, Ruby. I felt relieved and relaxed knowing Heli was watching Ruby while my family and I were away for a week. Although we had not previously met, I was immediately put at ease with the way she interacted with both Ruby and me. Heli also sent me a ton of pictures while we were away showing all the fun activities they were doing. She also kept to Ruby's schedule. As a very picky mama, I would 100% use and reccomend Heli in the future.”
“Tabatha was absolutely perfect!!!! She was prompt for the arrival time, she kept us updated with photos and messages. We felt very relaxed knowing our babies were in good hands!”

Arissa was wonderful! She kept me informed and sent photos so I could relax and not worry about my dog while I was away! Arissa was friendly and professional, she made sure my dogs meds were given exactly as instructed! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
By far the best pet sitter I have ever hired! Andiela is extremely professional, clear in communication, and very thorough. She was available on short notice and treated my pets as if they were her own. She didn't just walk and feed them; she spent quality time playing with them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. I came home to a clean house and to very happy and relaxed pets. A+ service!! Andiela cared for my cat and dog and took the time to know both of them and their behaviors well, gaining the ability to bond with both my shy cat and, initially anxious, then energetic dog. I could go on and on about how great she was. Her energy was amazing. I would definitely recommend and rebook her myself in the future! Thanks Andiela.
Patty sat for our three dogs over the worst winter storm we've had in years. She was willing to go the extra mile and helped us to keep our vacation plans - many would have backed out at the threat of being snowed in or power loss (no power loss thank goodness) but Patty was still up for the challenge.
5/5 Stars – Emma is an Outstanding Cat Sitter! I recently had Emma look after my two cats while I was away for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. We had a nice meet and greet and when I returned, my cats were happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared-for. They met me with their usual purrs (no signs of stress at all). The house was left in perfect order—everything tidied up, and even a little note. We had great communication by email. When planning my next trip and will definitely book Emma again. If you want a reliable, caring sitter who treats your pets (and home) like her own, Emma is the one! Highly recommend.
Elizabeth was excellent at taking care of Maple for the week we were away. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos! Maple was very tired when we got home which means she must have had lots of fun! She also left the house very clean and asked questions to double check about things she wasn’t 100% sure about
Alyia has sat for our dogs, Camden and Brewer, twice now. The most recent time was for almost a week. Both dogs can be a handful for different reasons. We felt so good knowing they were well taken care of and that Alyia really enjoys hanging out with them. She was an excellent communicator and we were able to focus on spending time with our family on vacation because we knew she had them under control. We’re definitely planning to book with her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burnham Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burnham Hills on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 11,311 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnham Hills. 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 Hills 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 Hills 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 Hills 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.
