“Julia took care of my two kitties and did a fantastic job. She sent me pictures of my girls at each visit and communicated very well with me. I definitely recommend her to any cat owner!”
“Eva K. was very accommodating and I'm so grateful that they were able to help me out! My guy is a social eater so having Eva there ensured that he would at least eat something while I was gone.”
“Carrie was great with our two pups — even our timid sheltie. She kept them healthy, active and safe through daily walks while we were on vacation. We will definitely rebook!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, rodents, name any animal and I’ve had it! After my experience working at animal shelters, i’m well rounded and nothing can surprise me anymore! I’m working part time at a vet clinic, my schedule is pretty flexible and and my boyfriend’s schedule is as well. We have two pets of our own who get majority of our free time and yours will as well:) I have a hyper black lab who loves to play and be everyone’s best friend! We prefer cat friendly as I do have a spynx who is more like a dog than a cat lol. I’m super flexible so any requests can be accommodated!
“Our first time using Jaci and she was wonderful! We needed someone last minute and she helped us out! Even tho we couldn’t meet before hand, I felt totally comfortable having her in our home to take care of our girls! Will definitely use her again!”
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs and you will receive tons of pictures throughout the day! We have flexible jobs where we can work from home so your dog will always have someone to hang out with. Our house has a very large fenced in backyard where the critters can run around and chase all the rabbits and squirrels out. Your pup will have full access to the entire house including all of the furniture and beds. Please let us know if you would like to set up a meet and greet to ensure that all our furry critters get along. In addition, we are members of the Horse and Hunt club and often take our hunting dogs. If you’re interested, we would be happy to take your hunting dog with to horse and hunt to run fields and get them on birds. Cost would be a daily visit plus cost of birds. We basically schedule our days around dogs and their daily needs. Just let us know what their routine is and we will stick with what they’re used to. My husband and I both work hybrid/remote and someone will always be home with the dogs to hang out with them, let them out, etc.
“Anna did an amazing job with our two cats, especially our diabetic cat who needs insulin twice daily and potassium. She’s very responsive and communicates well after each visit.”
“Monica was able to help me last minute in a pinch, and it was over the holidays. A week before I needed to leave for a week long vacation, my kitty injured her leg and needed to take some pain killers twice daily. I am so grateful I found Monica to help me out! I’m a very anxious pet parent, but having Monica leave detailed notes every visit and so many pictures made me feel a lot better. She even got my kitty a little Christmas present while I was away!! Would recommend Monica to anyone :)”
About: If you hire me, upon request, I will do a free cartoon portrait of your pet(s)! I am an artist, but I am an animal lover before anything else and will make sure your baby is in good care. I have had dogs of my own my whole life, and have taken care of other’s as well with walking and overnight/check in sitting. I do have experience with taking care of cats and other animals, too! My whole life revolves around animals and pets, while I’m watching yours my number one goal will be to keep them safe, happy, cared for and comfortable! I’m currently pet sitting as my main source of income, so I’m more than ready to spend all my time taking care of your pet! I am available any day of the week at any time. I will adjust to imitate your care-style so you and your pets are comfortable. Otherwise, I am more than happy to do the basics, spend my time playing and taking care of the essentials (feeding, walking, bathroom breaks, etc) with your pet.
“Perla is always so great with our pups! She has excellent communication, takes tons of pictures, and the pups adore her! Will definitely be booking again next time we’re out of town!”
“My boyfriend and I had Ed watch our cat and dog while we were traveling, and Ed was nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and flexible in working with us to meet our pet's needs. Ed clearly enjoys being with animals, and naturally spoils your pets like they are his own. Highly recommend Ed to anyone, as myself and my boyfriend anticipate asking for his assistance in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was little. We had them as puppies. My dog, Lilo (Cavachon) is 8 years old. He is at home and very friendly. I have my FT 3-11pm, Tuesdays-Saturdays. Anytime in the morning is fine. I walk my dog or we go to a park every single day. I have partly fenced back yard. I have Lilo, my 8 years old Cavachon to keep a company. We either walk or go to a park everyday.
About: I have owned a few dogs over the years and know that dogs are very much part of the family! I currently own a large dog named Coco and she is one of my favorite companions and is a blast to hang around for a good walk. I usually like to play with my dog and engage in both physical and mental games so that they can stay engaged and have fun! My schedule is semi-flexible as I’m a student, from Sunday through Saturday . My schedule will usually be updated consistently if I am available . I request that I get a detailed list of instruction or information that I may need to know about your furry friend or any aggressive behaviors for both mine and your dogs safety. I usually will let a dog approach me first and let them get to know me so that they are comfortable around me. I think it’s good to build some levels of trust with your dog and to be in a safe environment where they feel they are most comfortable.
About: Hello! We are an active family with a young son and an almost three year old Aussie Doodle named Marley and our newest addition is a cat named Moon. When it is nice out, you will find us outside! Marley loves having other dogs around whether it be a playmate or a snuggle buddy. Moon is usually hiding and can be kept in a separate area of the house, if needed. My partner and I have opposite schedules and Grandparents that double as babysitters. That means there is someone at the house the majority of the time to help take special care of your pet. We can be pretty flexible with drop off and pick up times. We have lots of love to give out and they will be pampered on their doggy vacation! I can also accommodate if your dog would prefer them to be the only pet in the house. Marley frequently stays at his Grandparent's house and plays with his Cousin- Pongo :) If it is your first time booking with me, use promo code KIMS56130 for $20 off.
About: I have my own little dog that I take care of, and I am excited to take care of more. I am care giver at a health care center. Right now I am working on call as a nursing assistant in Apple Valley. I make my own schedule therefore I am free different days of the week. One week I could be free everyday and then I next I’m only free for a couple of days. My mom recently got a new fence for the backyard so our dog can roam freely without us having an heart attack that she’s going to run away 😂
About: Having 10+ years of professional and personal experience with animals, I have worked with a wide range of furry friends from dogs to chinchillas. I love taking dogs on fun and constructive walks with some leash training, teaching pets how to play properly while having a blast, and just getting to know each animal individually. I enjoy taking my dogs to trails and swimming holes, it’s a great workout for us both plus always a fun time. I have experience working with dogs of all nature from puppies to elderly dogs who may need medication, as well as any size dog. I am dedicated to giving your pets the love and care they deserve! I currently have a full time job from 11am-7pm T-F and 9-5pm on Saturdays so early mornings or late evenings are preferred for dog walks and drop ins. When pet sitting/boarding, we go on a long morning walk along with breakfast and then 2-3 more potty breaks when I get back from work. On my days off, we typically spend most of the day outside, going on hikes, swimming, etc. I usually feed dinner around 7pm unless otherwise specified. When staying in my clients’ homes, I never leave their pets out of eyesight (unless I'm at work) and we go on potty breaks about every 4-8 hours unless otherwise specified. Depending on the pet & weather, we go on 1-3 walks per day. They will be fed according to their usual feed schedule and constantly have fresh water. Of course, treats and cuddles are encouraged as well!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burnsville
Samantha just goes above & beyond for our fur babies…this recent visit was once again a 5-star experience! She not only brings in the mail & packages, but noticed one of the kitties favorite toys was broken & brought her own tools to fix it for us. Highly recommend!!
I had a great experience with Julia! She provided wonderful updates about how my cat was doing and sent photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She did a great job making my cat feel comfortable and less stressed. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him and would happily recommend Julia!
Stephanie has helped me and my pup, Apollo, a ton over the past 1.5 years! As I had to keep to my work schedule while also managing the first year with a puppy, my reliance on Stephanie’s visits always eased the effort and milestones Apollo reached. Without her help, I would have had a lot more “moments” to deal with, I’m sure. Apollo loved his visits! Stephanie takes great care of him, and I would recommend her to anyone in the area looking for these services! 5 stars in the beginning, middle and end of our visits! Thank you, Stephanie!!!
Evelyn has been absolutely wonderful taking care of Yoko. She consistently checked in, kept me updated, and communicated with me throughout the entire time I was away. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my cat for several days, Evelyn gave me complete peace of mind. Knowing that Yoko was being cared for by someone so reliable, attentive, and compassionate made all the difference. I truly appreciate the care and attention she provided, and I always felt reassured that Yoko was in great hands. Evelyn is someone I can count on without hesitation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Melissa is exceptionally caring and had a wonderful approach with our Great Dane, Kota. She left the perfect level of details after each of her visits and was thoughtful about our dogs knee (recovering from surgery) while still giving her plenty of time to play. Our dog was clearly comfortable and happy to see Melissa each visit- which is saying a lot for an anxious pup! Could not recommend Melissa more highly!!
Geshanna was fantastic and treated Duke like he was her own, the entire long weekend we required her services. Sent many pictures and videos of her with Duke, and was incredibly communicative the entire time we were away. We WILL be having her take care of Duke again if we are away, and I will do everything in my power to recommend and referred her to as many people as I can! If I could rate her more than 5 stars I would!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burnsville is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $50 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 October 2026, there are 5,632 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burnsville. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burnsville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 .
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.
