“Emily was great watching Eleanor while I was out of town. She was a great communicator, was super flexible when I had to change plans, and I know Eleanor had a great time with her!”


“Ricardo & Cristina did a wonderful job taking care of our Milo! They sent us photos every day of him enjoying his walks & interacting with their dog. It allowed us to truly enjoy our Spring break with no worries. Milo was in good hands.”



“Candace (and husband) provided excellent care of our fur baby! She sent us multiple pictures during his stay and even a video. Our dog seemed happy, relaxed and content during the stay. We are well pleased and appreciative.”


“Manuel was so good to my baby Luna!!! He agreed to a last minute booking for me during a week long vacation. He sent daily photos and updates and was very responsive to messages throughout her stay. We will DEFINITELY book with him again!”


“My baby loves visiting and doesn’t want to leave. He is very well loved and taken care of. You never have to worry about if your furbaby is being treated like royalty because they are definitely being spoiled with all the rubbies they need :)”


“Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!”



“EK was amazing with my Simba. We stayed in Chicago for a month and needed a puppy sitter a few times and EK was the perfect choice. Glad we found her and I'll be using her again whenever Simba has to come to Chicago with us. He had a great time and she was a great sitter.”


“Always helpful and accommodating, so communicative ! Milo is always so excited to stay at her place. Happy to have such a reliable dog sitter that I can trust.”


“Lisette was awesome! I always felt confident that my pup was in good hands and she was great with communication & updates. She was also accommodating with pickup & dropoff times, which was a plus. Would definitely love to have Jax stay with her again! Thanks, Lisette 😌”


“Bola have given me such peace of mind when we have to leave our dog for 9 days. Always give the best updates and pictures, and I can rest easy knowing my little buddy is taken care of. Couldn’t recommend enough and would definitely use her again. ❤️❤️❤️”



“Thanks Beverly for keeping our busy Fox!!! Fox came home and couldn’t stop talking about his stay with Beverly!! I will definitely choose her again and again!!!”



“This was my 1st time boarding my pet. I was worried but Dwight came with such great reviews so I took a chance. I am so glad I did. Dwight was amazing with my pup and my pup even made new friends. I will be rebooking ASAP and I am also going to include traditional daycare. Thanks Dwight and thanks Rover for doing all the research and making the process seamless!”


“Tonisa did a wonderful job taking care of my doggies. This was my first time using this site and was not disappointed. She went above my expectations and I’m a really anxious person when it comes to leaving my dogs in someone else’s care. Will definitely love for her to care for my dogs in the future. This is better than boarding facilities!”


“Our Daisy had a great time at her overnight with Bridget. Bridget was great to work with, excellent communication and sent lots of pics/videos. Definitely recommend.”


“Best ever situation for Molly. Will use again every time. Molly has had anxiety issues with both in-my-home boarding, kennels, and other individual services. Kyle (and her husband, Ben) are tremendously wise, easy going, experienced.”


“Tashea and Dushan did an amazing job watching my 2 month old American Bully. I was nervous because it was my first time away from her, but they kept me updated with pictures and videos and she looked super happy in every single one. I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”


“Christina & Joshua did any amazing job taking care of my Sayge! They were awesome with communication and all the updates. Felt comforting to know that she had been adjusting well in their presence.”


“"Brandon is an excellent and reliable dog sitter. He provided exceptional care for my dog, Cookie, ensuring she was happy and well-tended to. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking for dependable pet care!"”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Only Rover provides comprehensive Burnside dog boarding options that meet your dog's unique needs. Anxious or special needs dogs who prefer a 1:1 environment are a good fit for in-home dog boarding, while energetic pups who benefit from socialization and activity are a good fit for dog boarding facilities.
Typically, dog boarding sitters on Rover respond in under an hour, so you should be matched with the perfect sitter for you and your dog in no time!
Experience can vary widely from sitter to sitter, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing sitters available in Burnside.
Rover makes it easy to find Burnside dog boarding sitters to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star sitters you can find on Rover will welcome your dog into their home when you’re away—whether it’s just for the weekend or longer. Dog boarding is great for:
- Dogs of all ages and abilities, including puppies
- Pet parents looking for a safe, loving alternative to a kennel
- Dogs who’d love to socialize with their sitter’s pets
Yes! Sitters joining Rover must pass a background check before offering their services.
