“Mikayla took such great care of Athena and Enzo while we were away. It was obvious they were well loved and got plenty of playtime 😃. She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which made being away from them so much easier. She was easy to communicate with, always kept us updated, and went above and beyond by feeding our fish and even checking on our butterflies. We came home to happy dogs and a home that was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so thankful we found Mikayla and will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've worked at a Veterinary Clinic for a year where I worked with pets all day! I have owned two dogs, one being a puppy! I’m currently working part-time at Clinic, so I am able to come check on your pet during my lunch break! I am also available to come to your house after work to care for your pet! I am unavailable to board or do doggy day care, but I am able to dog walk, house sit, and dog/cat sit! I love taking care of animals! Working at a clinic has been the best thing for me to know exactly what your pet wants and needs! When staying in your home I will make sure to know how he/she thrives! I will also give daily updates along with a little pic of your pet!
“Madison was awesome. My original dog sitter (aka my brother) bailed on me last minute before a long trip away and she was happy to help last minute. She stayed a couple of nights at my apartment, took great care of it and more importantly, my dogs, and even helped prep my dogs to be picked up by my dad. She was very kind and had excellent communication.”
“Kyle may be a miracle worker, because he got my cat, who has a TBI and is very skittish, to fall in love with him on the second day of his care. I am very glad I found and booked this guy. I especially liked his updates to keep me in the loop, it gave me a lot of peace of mind. I care very much for my cat, and I am thankful she made a friend.”
“Lizzy was fantastic with my pups! I came home to some super happy pups. She was very responsive and kept me updated on everything as often as asked...and I ask a lot. She left my apartment in great condition and even took my pups to get a puppaccino (after asking permission, of course)!”
“Brandi communicated well and sent lots of pictures of our dog while we were away. She left everything nice and neat when she left. Would recommend Brandi to trust with your pet(s).”
“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“Becki was super responsive and kept us updated with all the pictures during our week away. Arya was happy and well cared for the entire time!”
“Skyler was Great! She was quick to respond and made the entire process very easy! My puppy is only 10 weeks old and she took very good care of her, taking her outside to the bathroom and giving her lots of love! She always sent photos of my puppy throughout the night to keep me updated on how she was doing! Which held ease my nerves about leaving her for work at such a young age. I will definitely be booking again with Skyler :)”
“Sammie was great with my dogs! They have very high energy at times and like to wreck things but she played with them and hung out with them and they had zero issues while she was here! Will definitely use her again!”
About: Experience in caring for cats and dogs of all ages as well as special needs and administering medication. Have worked in a dog kennel with up to 15 dogs. Can stay in your home weekends and so week nights depending on proximity to my home. Dogs will be let out minimum 4 times a day I will always ensure your pet is safe and within viewing even if they are property trained as accidents can happen within seconds with animals.
About: I’ve taken care of many different fury friends since I was a kid. I have currently have a dog of my own, but enjoy quality time with all animals:) I just graduated PA school and have not found a job yet, so I’m looking to make extra money. I have pretty open availability during the week. I love all animals! I respect all homes and make sure to leave everything better than I found it! I appreciate any tips/tricks to give your animal the best experience possible.
“Polly was absolutely fantastic. She sent us photos and notes everyday which really helped our anxiety leaving him. When we came home we new right away that Chester loved her. She played with him, gave him his medicine, and even bought him a few toys. Exceptional care. This is the first time we used Rover and wish I had found out about it before! We hate leaving him behind when we travel, but knowing that we now have Polly to rely on, it makes is so much better. My only concern is now everyone will want to book her and then she is not available for us. We could not have asked for better care for our gentle giant.”
About: I have 5 dogs of my own, ranging from a cattle dog to a pitbull.I have no problem taking care of any type of animal and I have experience in all fields of care, including bathing, walking, nail-trimming, and more. I’m free from 6am-11pm on weekdays! I do work full-time but my boss is lenient and he’d have no problem with me tending to your furry friends! I personally have 5 dogs in a non-fenced in yard but they are all very well trained. I would prefer to keep your animals in the comfort of their own home though due to my dogs being very playful, if your dogs are comfortable being in a high-energy setting it would be no problem but they don’t need added stress from my rowdy bunch.
“Highly recommend Sarah! She watched both of our dogs at our house over the weekend, and we were very happy with the whole experience. One dog needs meds, and the other is a puppy. I never worried about them in her care.”
“Jessica is a kind, friendly, and reliable sitter. I really appreciated having her care for my dogs while I was out of state for my wedding. She made sure their needs were met, followed feeding instructions, ensured they had fresh water, and let them out to potty regularly (including several middle of the night tummy upsets) - which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Jessi kept me updated on how the dogs were doing, sent photo updates, and was very pleasant to work with throughout the stay. I’m so thankful for her help and would recommend her to pet parents looking for dependable care and a sitter with a warm, personable nature.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Burnips
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,002 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnips. 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 Burnips 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 Burnips 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 Burnips 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.
