“Caitriona did a great job with our fur babies while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates and made us feel better about being away. We will definitely use her again. Two thumbs up!! 👍👍”
“My 9 year old puppy fell in love at first visit. She’s one who leans towards good character. I believe she sensed that in Jenn. My pup is going to love her next visit. Nice to vacation with peace of mind. Thank you.”
About: I grew up with dogs all of my life and currently own two Rottweilers. I treat every dog like they are my own. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or house sitting with your pet. I will focus on making sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you are away. From energetic pups, who love adventure to laid-back dogs who just want attention and cuddles. You can count on consistent routines, clear communication, and plenty of photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. My goals are: happy dogs, stress-free owners, and a trustworthy experience. I want to create a positive and fun time for your pup and become someone when your dog is excited to see every time🐾 I currently work part time Monday Wednesday and Fridays at an attorney’s office from 830-430PM ET, so I have open availability. Also, if you are close to where I live, I can drop in on my lunch break during the day on those days as well. I am attentive during dog walks or drop-in visits at a client’s home as I would be for my own two dogs. I will make sure basic needs are met by providing freshwater and ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and interaction. I’ll pay close attention to each animals behavior and health while watching for any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. I’ll keep owners updated with messages or photos for a peace of mind. In a client’s home, I respect their space while maintaining the pets routine as closely as possible. This includes administering medication’s, cleaning up after pets, and making them feel safe and comfortable.
About: After using Rover to help care for my fur baby and meeting amazing animal lovers like me, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to help others care for their pets as I have been helped also. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and now have a cat also. I look forward to loving and caring for your pet and ensuring worry free experiences and certainty that your pet will be loved and well cared for. I currently work full time M-F 8am- 5pm, so can be available early mornings, evenings, and all day on the Saturday and Sunday to love and care for your pet. I am very reliable and pride myself in providing a worry experience with genuine love and care for your pet. I am very confident and comfortable giving any medication your pet may need. I also have experience working in a doggy daycare with overnight stays.
“Ashlynn was very professional and did such a great job with Blue! Her attention to detail and care instructions put our mind at ease. Blue loved her and it was very evident that he had been well cared for. I highly recommend her! We will definitely book her services again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burnside on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 33 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnside. 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 Burnside 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 Burnside 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 Burnside 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
