“Allison was great! She took such good care of our two pups and sent me pics each day from their walks. She even had to give our dog Bella her antibiotics due to a recent dental visit and was super detailed on following all our instructions. It made a trip so enjoyable knowing our two pups were in her care.”
“Nicole did an excellent job watching and walking my anxious pup, followed directions/instructions exactly as provided, and helped keep my puppy happy and occupied while I was away. Very friendly and great communicator.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! She stayed in our home, following all instructions and leaving our house clean and tidy. Most importantly, she took great care of Winnie! We received super photos, so we knew they were playing and hanging out together. It was clear that Winnie was in good hands, whch allowed to have us a stress-free time away. Thank you!”
“Keara was amazing! I will definitely be using her again. Our dogs and cat were treated like family. She kept us updated and got plenty of videos and photos. You can tell she really loves animals and is passionate about her job. Anyone using her is in good hands!”
“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.”
“Claudia and Omar were just great. They stayed with my dog for 5 days and I was was concerned at first that since my dog didn't really know them it might make her anxious. Not at all. She seemed like she barely noticed I was gone when I returned:(. My house was in the same shape as when I left so hard to know they were even there. Highly recommend them and will use them again when the occasion arises.”
“Darling-girl did an amazing job with my fur baby! She was prompt with communication & followed all instructions for Ace. Ace is anxious when it comes to new people and he takes meds and she was able to help him through it! Would book again!”
“Taje was so amazing caring for our three dogs for a week. She sent daily pictures and communicated as much or as little as we wanted every day. We had special circumstances where one dog had to be consistently separated from another, and she handled that special situation with professionalism and expertise. Our house was cleaner than we left it (amazing considering how much our dog sheds!), and we had not one worry while we were away. We plan to use Taje again anytime we leave our house in the future!!”
About: My family and I love dogs very much. I will cook for them and bathe them. I like to take them to the park. I spile my dog's hair every day. I'm currently studying at home, so I have time to take care of the dog. Dogs can go out every 2-4 hours. I can sit in the yard and play with the dog. There are two yards for dogs to play in my house, and two puppies to accompany them. Dogs can move freely at home. I can clean the dog toilet.
About: We have done weekend animal care on a farm which included dog care in which we stayed at the house to walk and feed as well as walks 2 per day. We give a full quality workout to your dog because of the benefits we get with your dog too. This means your dog will get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per walk, guaranteed. my husband is available in the mornings up until 2 while I can take over in the late afternoon and evenings during the week and both are available on weekends. being a MCPS teacher I also can work during holidays as well. I can be there overnights during the weekends keep ing a close eye on your pet's needs giving time for walks and undivided attention.
“Lauren was amazing! We came home to a clean house and happy pets. Our dog has Crohn's disease, and flare-ups are often triggered by stress when we leave. But when we came home, he was calm and happy. I would definitely book Lauren again!”
“Ken did a great job taking care of our pets and home when we were away for a long weekend. Top notch communication and transparency and love for Maggie and Winks. Home also well cared for. Highest recommendation from us! Thank you!!”
“Alena is a blessing. She watched our pups for a long weekend. She knew exactly how to interact with our nervous pup to put her at ease and gave her enough reassurance that Arya settled quickly. We felt a 100% comfortable leaving 2 furry personalities in Alena's care! Can't wait to book her again!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for pets, both personally and professionally, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. From feeding, walking, and playtime to administering medications and monitoring for health concerns, I am comfortable with all aspects of pet care. I have worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including cats, dogs, and even those with special needs—always approaching them with patience, kindness, and understanding. My goal is to provide not only reliable care, but also comfort, enrichment, and love to every animal I look after. I currently work full time at a veterinary hospital, but I’m able to provide attention, walks, playtime, and any needed care while fitting visits around my availability/off days. I understand how important it is to feel confident when someone is caring for your pets, I provide safe, loving care for pets right in the comfort of their own home. With my vet tech experience, I’m confident in giving medications, following routines, and keeping pets happy and healthy. While I unfortunately do not offer dog sitting in my own home, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for in yours.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnham Hills
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Burnham Hills is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $100 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
