Top rated Burr Oaks house sitters
“Jolie was great! She sent numerous pictures and the cat and the dog looked relaxed and normal. Jolie reached out with a question at the very end of her stay. I appreciate the attention to detail and her care of our pets and our house!”
“Louisa and her daughter treated our 2 dogs and 2 cats like their own! I received regular updates and pictures on how they were doing and when we got home they didn't even seem to miss us. Our dogs received daily walks which was awesome! It was my first time having Louisa care for our pets, but she asked lots of good questions beforehand so I was completely comfortable leaving them under her care and she did not disappoint. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“Katie was wonderful with my dog and a great communicator. She sent lots of updates and I could tell she was taking great care of him. She went above and beyond! I would definitely utilize her again.”
“Annie took great care of our dog and guinea pig! She gave me frequent updates and was very attentive to our anxious dog’s needs. Thank you!!!”
“Natalee was phenomenal with Remora! Consistent updates, cute pics of my cat, and very reliable with scheduling and coordination. Natalee took great notes to make sure Remora was cared for the best as could be. Thank you!!”
“Kaitlyn was patient with my anxious dog and gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her. It put me at ease knowing he and my two cats were in good hands while I was out of town. She also left my house spotless! Highly recommend.”
“Robert did an excellent job taking care of my high energy dog and 2 cats. He communicated very well and let me know what they were up to during the days I was away. He left my house just as clean as when I left it.”
“Seanna was fantastic with my reactive pup! She communicated well and kept me up to date with how Willa was doing. I hate having to leave my pup when I travel, but I had complete peace of mind while Seanna stayed with Willa. I recommend Seanna without hesitation!”
“Marley goes above and beyond and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Our cat has to take medication and she did great handling that. We were out of town and I trusted her completely. She offered updates and pictures and we knew our cat was in great hands. Her knowledge and professionalism sets her apart from the rest! :)”
“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”
“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Drew. He took great care of my pups while I was away, and treated them like family. He also stayed with them until midnight, after my flight home was significantly delayed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely rebook with him.”
“Ashley was great! She stayed at our house and our elderly cat, Grace, warmed up to her with no problems. She spent time with her and watched our house, yet you wouldn't even know she was there. Excellent house guest and pet sitter! I highly recommend!”
“Marri came to our house for two nights to take care of our two dogs (2.5 years and 6 months). She did an excellent job. Communicated with us via texts, including photos, took the dogs for walks, and left our house very clean. We won’t hesitate to use Marri again.”
“Marina was wonderful! Our pup sustained a major back injury just days before we were scheduled to leave. I reached out and Marina was up for the new challenge and didn't bat an eye at the extra meds he needed or the extra TLC. She took the best care of Obi and sent along frequent updates. It was clear from day one that he was in most excellent hands. I'd recommend Marina to anyone and won't hesitate to lean on her again.”
“Dustin came to dog sit for me at a last minute request! He even offered to stay late for me until my next door neighbor could take over, due to her having flight delays. Thanks so much for taking care of my girl, Dustin! 🥰🐾🐕”
“We used Sophie for the first time to watch our two cats this past week, and we can't be more happy with how it went. Not only did she take great care of our cats, but her daily communication and photos were top notch as well as how respectful she was of our home. We will definitely be booking her for future needs and highly recommended her!”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Our pups were happy and calm when we returned home from a long afternoon/evening away. Tatyana definitely understands how to handle large, rambunctious (and love and adorable) dogs. She sent me pics throughout the evening as well, which was so lovely to receive.”

Burr Oaks pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalee is a highly recommend in my books! She was very detailed in her notes on how to take care of my dogs. She kept me updated on every walk and playtime which I loved. She offered to water my plants for me while I was away which no other dog sitters have ever offered. She really asked the right questions in her video chat (which sadly no other dog sitter has done either). Natalee is just really the whole package.
OMGoodness, GRACE! Please trust us when we say that Grace is truly the sweetest sitter who did an amazing job of balancing doing her online school work and giving such loving attention to our two dogs. Our little dog - who is usually very suspect of / shy around new people - instantly loved her (which seriously never happens!) and she figured out ways to help calm our old anxious dog (by going on a sniffy walk and by lovingly letting her basically paw her face off). Grace came for a quick meet and greet the day before the sit, which made everyone feel much more at ease, and that was very generous of her time. During the sit, we had some unexpected circumstances arise, and Grace was more than willing to roll with the punches and adjust parameters and timing of the sit, etc. We will most definitely be asking for Grace to be a sitter for us in the future… And you will be extremely happy to do the same, no questions asked :)
Julia was absolutely amazing, I do not have enough positive things to say! She was patient and understanding with my dog who’s a retired breeder and still learning the way of being a pet. She kept my apartment clean and respected the home! I definitely recommend her for her responsiveness and kindness! 🤎
Coral was great! We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with her at our house for a long weekend. She checked in when she got to our house, as requested, and sent a couple photos during her time with our dog. Everything went smoothly. We'd happily have her back!
Ben did an excellent job watching our two large dogs for almost a week at our apartment. He is friendly, responsible, and trustworthy! He followed all instructions well, and our dogs were definitely well cared for. We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
