“Anne helped us out with a very last minute request and did a great job of caring for both our pups. Everything was completed as requested. Great communication. Highly recommend.”
“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Aracely is the ultimate cat whisperer! This was our third time having her look after our home, and even for just a short visit, she continues to impress. Leaving a big pet family behind can be stressful, but knowing our six cats are in such great hands gives us total peace of mind. Aracely handles everyone’s individual quirks and needs like an absolute pro, ensuring they are not only well-fed but genuinely comfortable and content for the rest of the day. Every time we get back, everything is perfect and it’s clear our crew is happy and at ease. Huge shoutout to Aracely for taking such amazing care of them—we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Rory. I’m a local Realtor, stepdad to three great kids, and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been a dog dad since I was 25, starting with a Newfoundland and now sharing a home with Lola, our 7-year-old Golden Retriever, and Tilly, our 8-month-old Cavapoo. Dogs have always been part of our family, and I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m active, enjoy walks, and love giving dogs the playtime, exercise, and companionship they need. I also volunteer in the community coaching football and basketball, so being dependable, patient, and attentive comes naturally to me. As a Realtor, I know trust and communication matter. I’ll follow your dog’s routine, respect your home, and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I work from home, so your dog will have company throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. We build in regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals, and plenty of attention while keeping as close as possible to their normal routine. Your dog will be cared for in a loving family environment with two friendly dogs and three kids who truly love animals. Our home has plenty of space to relax and play, along with a fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor breaks. We make introductions slowly, supervise play, and can separate or crate dogs if needed. We will follow your feeding, medication, exercise, and house rules, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.
“Brandi was extremely helpful last minute despite it being the busy holiday season. She is great with communication and giving extreme affection to your loved ones. I have no doubt you will be worried one bit with her in charge!”
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.
“Charity did an awesome job watching Sophie! She was always on time and provided us with detailed updates. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her. Charity made us feel very confident Sophie was in good hands while we were out of town!”
“I booked Elyse for 7 drop in visits and she exceeded my expectations. There were some days I wasn’t able to make it home for lunch to let Nimbus out and having Elyse stop by took a lot of stress off my plate. I was nervous at first but seeing the report card and photos every time put my mind at ease. I really look forward to booking with her again.”
About: Dogs to me are family. I grew up with dogs my whole life. I got my first dog Lacey when I was 6 and recently had to put her down. She is my motivation to take care of and spoil all dogs while they are with us. Plus, I've always had a passion for animals! I have new member berkley the golden retriever. I promise to be flexible, dependable, caring, comforting, and understanding. I believe dogs can sense who we are, so bonding is important to me. I am willing to walk your dog, play fetch, cuddle, let out for potty breaks, feeding, give meds, or anything else you desire for you pet. I hope to provide the care you're looking for! - Lindsey vanschepen I am a stay at home mom who is incredibly flexible! My son and I love pets of any kind. We would love to spend time with your family pet ♥️ Make sure each pets basic needs are constantly met and go beyond that by making them feel comfortable and happy! Giving extra attention and care whenever where it is needed!
“Vashti and Chris did drop-in visits for my cat every couple days for a couple weeks. When I returned, she was well-cared for and the house was immaculate. Superior level of service and care, per usual. Will of course continue to book with them, highly recommend.”
“Lauren always takes great care of my elderly cat. She communicates very well about what’s going on with my cat during visits and about any time she might need to adjust our schedule.”
About: Hi! I am Amelia, a lifelong animal lover. I enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities! I treat every pet like they are my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it is walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I love creating a routine that fits their needs while keeping you updated every step of the way. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m able to match your pet’s routine closely. Whether your cat or dog needs early feeds, mid-day playtime, or later check-ins, I can shift my day around their needs. I take safety seriously, from secure entry/exit checks to following feeding routines and medication instructions exactly as given. I stay aware of each pet’s comfort level and make sure they always feel safe, calm, and respected in their space.
About: Hi, I'm Jill! Dogs have been part of my life since I can remember. I've spent years caring for and connecting with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family often call me the "dog whisperer" because I seem to naturally build trust with dogs, whether they're shy, anxious, energetic, independent, or just need a little extra patience. I also have a special appreciation for senior dogs and understand their unique needs, routines, and comfort requirements. Your pup will be welcomed into a loving home with Sunny, my friendly chocolate Lab, a large-fenced yard, a doggie door, and plenty of supervised playtime and attention throughout the day. There is also optional swimming in the river behind my home. As a full-time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule, I'm home or nearby most of the time, so your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection rather than being left alone for long periods. I believe every dog is an individual. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax in a calm environment, I'll take the time to learn their personality and routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. My home is where dogs aren't just watched—they're welcomed, understood, and loved. 🐾 I am a fully time REALTOR® with a flexible schedule. I spend much of my day working from home or close by, which means your dog won't be left along for long periods. I have a fenced-in back yard and one very friendly female Chocolate Lab named Sunny who loves to play. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs sleep in my room in a crate or on the floor at night
About: I’ve helped dog-sit my neighbor’s pups over the last 10 years and have loved every encounter with them. I recently lost my best friend (border collie mutt) of 13 years, and am looking to help any other owners out!! I love running with dogs, so if you have an energetic one that needs exercise I am happy to help! I am also comfortable walking, playing, stopping in, feeding, conducting potty breaks, and spending the night with all pets! I have a full time job (8-4) that has flexible hours and sometimes I work from home. I am available on the weekends to house sit and stay the night with your pup. I am available to pet-sit in your home and replicate your pet’s typical schedules and trainings, and whatever you need that is communicated to me!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burnips is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,624 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burnips. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burnips. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
