“We hit the jackpot with Lindsey! She watched our 4 pets after a last minute booking and did a wonderful job of following our instructions/requests and keeping us informed every day. One of our dogs got sick and she quickly notified us. We came home to some happy animals!”

About: Welcome! I’m Karmen, and I work as a school counselor. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am. I’m also a lifelong animal-lover. Rover has become one of my favorite hobbies because it allows me to spend my free time doing something I love—helping others! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to provide the same love, attention, and care they receive from you. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like my own. 🐾🧡 I enjoy caring for dogs, cats, and other small pets through drop-in visits and house sitting for pets who are happiest in their own environment. 🐶🐱

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and provided medications when needed including pills, eye drops, and shots! I also am flexible to what your pet’s routine already is! I’m home for summers from college (Go Dukes) and I’ve always loved animals, so pet-sitting is my only job over this time! I’m available all days throughout the week! When you’re vacationing in the summer I will look after your pets and give you peace of mind with pictures I take of them and I always leave your house looking like I was never even there!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience with all breeds, sizes and personalities. I currently have a Great Dane, Cane Corso, and Chihuahua, so I am very comfortable with large strong dogs, and all the personality that comes with them! I also own a cat and have been around cats a majority of my life. I truly enjoy being around animals and getting to know their individual character, quirks, and routines. Your pet will be treated like one of my own! I am currently available full time, so pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is very flexible and I am more than willing to work around difficult schedules. When caring for a pet in someone’s home I treat their space and their pet with the same care and respect I would treat my own. I will do my best to keep their pet in their usual routine to make them feel the most at home and comfortable. Communication is very important to me, and I am willing to adapt and put in lots of effort to provide the kind of care each client expects for their pet.

I knew Rocky was safe and being taken care of while in Brenna's care and I truly I appreciate that. Thanks again!!!”

About: Hello. I’m Kat, and I am an experienced sitter who's been taking care of homes and pets through Trusted Housesitters for nearly two years now. At this time, I have 18 recent sits under my belt. I am former membership director of a nonprofit for writers, and these days I’m traveling in my van, house/pet sitting, and working on my own writing. I love animals and grew up in the country with 14 outdoor cats and 3 different dogs. I sat for a lot of professors as a grad student and thought it would be fun to return to that as an experienced adult who has owned her own home and raised two children. As I am looking for home/pet sitting gigs, and I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility to spend time with and caring for your pets. 3-4 hours a day can be spent on pets, home, and indoor and outdoor plants, etc. I do whatever the pet owner does in their home, including cuddles, feeding, brushing, scooping, meds if needed, plus house care, and of course treats!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other household pets. As a pet owner myself, I currently have two cats and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and home. In addition to caring for my own pets, I regularly provide in-home pet sitting for three different dog-owning families. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and providing companionship while owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I currently work part-time from home which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available on weekdays and on weekends, with flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routines, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with respect and keep you updated so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands.

About: I provide pet care with a genuine focus on safety, structure, compassion and comfort. I'm patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel secure, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, but senior pups have my heart. One thing my clients like is how connected they feel while they're away. I take lots of photos and videos throughout the day and send daily updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my priority, and I make sure you feel just as supported as they do. My goal is to make them feel at home and cared for and return back to you happy, relaxed and well cared for. I recently left my position as a General Manager to pursue my love for animals full-time, which means pet care is now the center of my daily routine. I structure my days around the pet's I'm caring for, making sure they get consistent walks, playtime, feedings and lots of snuggles. I am able to be flexible, responsive, and fully present with every pet in my care. Your pet will always have my time, my patience and my full commitment. My care is always tailored to each family’s needs and each pet’s personality. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your established routines—feeding schedules, walk times, house rules, and any specific training or comfort needs. If you have a fenced-in yard, I ensure your pet gets safe outdoor time. If leash walking is required, I provide structured, attentive walks based on your pet’s energy level. When pets stay in my home, they’re welcomed into a calm, country setting with a large, open yard. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, safety is always my priority. Until I fully know and trust your pet’s recall, behavior, and comfort level, all outdoor time will be done on leash. Once I understand their temperament and you are comfortable, we can adjust as appropriate. No matter the environment, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, secure, and truly cared for whether I’m in your home or mine.

FAQs for House Sitting - Burnt Tree

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 557 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burnt Tree. 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 Burnt Tree 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 Burnt Tree 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 Burnt Tree 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 , 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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burnt Tree. On Rover:

  • 91% 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.
