“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Keara was very wonderful taking care of our dogs. One of our dogs has epilepsy and needs meds 4 times per day - Keara was very conscientious and careful with her. Loved the many photo and video updates as well. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Allison spent the night at our house to watch our dog and cat. We appreciated the meet and greet beforehand. The dog was well taken care of and looked like he got the snuggling he needs in addition to being given his medicines which included an eye cream. Both of our boys were well taken care of and Allison also took good care of the house. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
“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.”
“Michelle was a great. Communication was excellent and she sent many photos and updates. Our dogs loved her and I felt confident leaving them in her care. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I have experience with puppies and dogs I have had 2 dogs before a pug and a German Shepard I love taking walks and being outside! I’m a college student but most of my classes are from 9am-12pm so I’m free the rest of the day for whatever your pet needs. I have my own car so I drive a lot and can do homework from my computer. My cats are my number one priority keeping them safe is everything. We always make sure to check for our babies when leaving the house or doing laundry. I’m very careful when it comes to animal Saftey and making sure they are the happiest they can ever be when I’m taking care of them.
“Jenny is an incredible dog sitter—we’ve used her multiple times to stay in our home and care for our two small dogs. We’re able to truly relax and enjoy being away, knowing our dogs and home are in such capable and caring hands. She treats everything as if it were her own and is consistently thoughtful and attentive. On top of that, she’s a great communicator and an absolute pleasure to work with.”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving Apache with someone new, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. Nicole was incredibly friendly and attentive, gave great updates on his meals, meds, and how his day was going, and shared little highlights that made me smile. She asked thoughtful questions, spent plenty of time with him, and took wonderful care of both Apache and my home. I felt so comfortable the entire time and would absolutely trust her with Apache again! 🐶💛”
“Felicia was wonderful! Every email was returned quickly. Our dog, Walter loved being with her. She was prompt and friendly. We will definitely book her again. Thanks.”
“Don was a wonderful pet sitter. He took such great care of my cats. Even my scaredy-cat loved him and even slept with him. That home was as clean as when I left it too. I will definitely book Don again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. For the past 11 months, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job has taught me how to safely handle group play, recognize canine body language, administer basic care, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾
“Excellent experience with Addie - did an overnight as our first time working with her and it was super smooth. One of our dogs has anxiety issues and she was unperturbed by it - it's clear she's experienced with a wide range of dogs, which we really appreciated. Our house was spotless on our return - we would definitely recommend her highly!”
“Duncan immediately showed that he is a dog lover from the minute he entered our house to meet us for the first time. We used him this past weekend and he understood the care needed for an older dog and followed instructions well on medications and walks. He communicated how things were going and our house was left just as he found it. We're delighted to use Duncan again.”
About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life and enjoy taking care of them! I got my dog when I was around 15 and she is genuinely the best part of my life! I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust enough to take care of your dog and will make sure that I can be that person for others. I’ve dog sat for people throughout the years and it is such an amazing experience to spend time with the dogs. I am currently searching for a full time job after recently finishing university so my availability to take care of your furry loved ones is pretty open. Growing up my mom has always been employed as a house cleaner and would take me with her to help, from a young age I’ve always known how to respect people’s homes even when they are not present. Ensuring that people are comfortable enough to trust me with their pet in their home is my utmost priority.
“Kimberly (Kay) is a sweet girl who was great with our two older dogs. She was an excellent communicator, kept us informed about everything and sent lots of pics. She also took wonderful care of our house. We definitely recommend Kay and look forward to working with her again.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience taking care of my own, friends, family and others animals. I am well versed with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters to name a few. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship while keeping pets comfortable and on their regular schedule. I enjoy making pet care a rewarding part of my day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I give each pet plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and individualized care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnham Hills
Patricia is simply the best. Reliable and she knows pups and loves them; knows how to interact with them and, importantly, what questions to ask. We never had a worry or, frankly, second thought knowing she was providing care. We are so happy she helped and we will definitely use her again.
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.
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

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 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 11,153 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.

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.
