About: I’m a vegan raised by two pet groomers. I’ve house sat with dogs, cats, and other animals for humans with long weekends and holiday vacations for many years. I’ve walked and groomed dogs, too, along with various volunteer works at humane societies and animal shelters across the country. I love all animals! I am relatively open for pet care, and I am open to take any opportunities that are available for me. Does your animal need some extra hugs? I am here! I enjoy keeping near to the animals and making sure they are safe, secure, and loved. I believe that one must keep aware of how the animals are feeling and maintaining a healthy, happy connection.

About: I’ve been working at a dog boarding and daycare facility for the past 2 years, so caring for dogs has become something I genuinely love. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs, from high energy dogs to the more laid back ones. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me I am working part time at a dog boarding facility before I head out to the Grand Canyon National Park in October where I’ll be working at for the winter and looking for any open opportunities before I leave! I’m available for Mornings afternoons and nights to help work around your preferred schedule for your animal. With my experience I have gotten to learn how to take care of dogs with any type of personalities and needs. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’ll follow their feeding, walking, and medication instructions, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they’re safe and happy. I’ll also treat your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would want for my own.

About: In the past I was able to dog sit for this lady whenever she would go on vacation. I loved coming home to the dog and would take care of him like he was mine! I am available to walk your dog(s) after 3pm weekdays and anytime on weekends! I can also dog sit whenever! Preferably at the owners house! If I’m sitting at your house I’m sure to take the dog out as soon as I come home from work and even come home to them on my break to let them out.

About: I've taken care of various species of animal ever since I was young, this ranges from dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and even goats. I am currently attending Carrington College for Veterinary Technology. I am the perfect choice to look after your lil buddy! I am free every day of the week and every hour of the day. I'm not too busy of a person so feel free to reach out! I have a large backyard that is securely fenced in, anything being able to get out would be a miracle, I'm very loving and nurturing and prefer reward based training/discipline over punishment.

About: My experience comes from years (starting "professionally" at 13- 22 years ago!) of caring for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. I've fostered dogs, cats and kittens, cared for seniors, and administered daily insulin injections to a diabetic cat. As someone who's always had a multi-pet home and has long provided pet sitting, I know how to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I’ve always had pets and come from a family of animal lovers. We’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses. Ive also pet sat starting at around age 10 and some of these jobs included birds, donkeys, and fish. I’d be thrilled with even the smallest job, no matter how last minute! I have a very flexible schedule working remotely. I can likely make anything work! I am open to any day or days of the week. My pets were always allowed free rein of our house, but i will obviously respect any boundaries in your home! Any specific instructions will be followed.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years including child care at a young age, being there for an animal, child or human is my nature - it comes naturally! I have many skills but pet and child care is just who I am I would not consider it a skill :). Integrating Pet Care into My Daily Routine Caring for my pets is not just a responsibility; it’s a fulfilling part of my daily life that enriches my routine in numerous ways. Here’s how I seamlessly integrate pet care into my day: - Morning Routine Early Start: My day begins with a morning walk, allowing my dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. This not only keeps them healthy but also sets a positive tone for the day. Feeding Time: After our walk, I prepare nutritious meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs, ensuring they start their day with the right fuel. - Midday Check-Ins Playtime: If I’m home, I take breaks to engage in play sessions with my pets, providing them with mental stimulation and strengthening our bond. Quality Time: Whether it’s a quick cuddle or a game of fetch, these moments are vital for their emotional well-being and my own. - Evening Routine Family Time: In the evenings, my pets are an integral part of family activities. They join us for relaxation, watching TV, or even participating in quiet reading time, creating a sense of togetherness. Nightly Walks: Before bedtime, I make sure to take my dogs out for another walk, allowing them to unwind and enjoy the night air. Flexibility and Adaptation Adaptable Schedule: My routine is flexible enough to accommodate any special needs or unexpected situations, such as vet visits or grooming appointments, ensuring my pets receive the best care possible. Continuous Learning Ongoing Education: I dedicate time to learning about pet care, attending workshops, or reading articles to enhance my knowledge and stay updated on best practices. Incorporating pet care into my daily routine not only ensures my pets are happy and healthy but also brings immense joy and fulfillment to my life. Their companionship and the love we share motivate me to prioritize their needs, making every day a rewarding experience. Caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's homes, involves a comprehensive approach that prioritizes their well-being, safety, and happiness. Here’s how I ensure exceptional care: In My Home 1. Safe Environment: - I maintain a pet-friendly space, free from hazards such as toxic plants, chemicals, or small objects that could be ingested. - Designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing are established to create a sense of security. 2. Routine Care: - Daily feeding schedules are adhered to, with meals tailored to meet the nutritional needs of each pet. - Regular grooming sessions help maintain their hygiene and comfort, including brushing, bathing, and nail trimming. 3. Exercise and Enrichment: - I provide ample opportunities for physical activity through walks, playtime, and interactive toys to keep pets engaged and healthy. - Mental stimulation is encouraged through puzzle toys and training sessions, fostering a strong bond and enhancing their skills. 4. Health Monitoring: - I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, noting any changes that may require veterinary attention. - Regular vet visits are scheduled for vaccinations, check-ups, and preventive care. In Client's Homes Personalized Care Plans: - Each pet receives a tailored care plan based on their specific needs, preferences, and routines as discussed with the owner. - I ensure that I follow the owner’s guidelines closely, maintaining consistency in care. Daily Routine Maintenance: - I replicate the pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, to minimize stress during the owner's absence. - I provide regular updates to pet owners, sharing photos and notes about their pet's behavior and activities. Safety Precautions: - I ensure that the home environment is secure, checking for any potential hazards and keeping doors and gates closed. - Emergency contacts, including the owner’s vet, are kept handy in case of unforeseen situations. Companionship and Attention: - I dedicate quality time to each pet, providing companionship and attention to alleviate any feelings of loneliness. - Engaging in activities that the pet enjoys helps maintain their happiness and well-being. Post-Care Clean-Up: - After each care session, I ensure the home is tidy, cleaning up any pet-related messes and leaving the space as I found it.

“Bobbie was absolutely amazing with my two poodles! She did two drop-in visits and went above and beyond to make sure they were well taken care of. Not only did she play with them and keep them company, but she also made sure they were fed, which was a huge help. My poodles were happy and relaxed when I got home, and it was clear they enjoyed their time with her. Bobbie is reliable, caring, and great with dogs—I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

About: My entire life I’ve had the blessing to care for pets. From my Rottweiler Roxie, to my sweet kitty Nala, I’ve learned what to look for to provide the best care to my animals. I’ve also had extensive training in caring for livestock. During my undergrad I spent three years as a pig farmer and I loved every minute of it. I’m hoping to work most days after 3pm but no later than 10pm. I have some flexibility on most weekends. Would prefer mornings during the weekend but I am flexible. I have a fenced in yard that my cat likes to explore in. I also have a laundry room that can be used to separate my cat from any of your animals if needed.

Brandi did an amazing job with our girl during her three drop-in visits! She was reliable, caring, and made sure our dog was well taken care of and comfortable while we were away. We really appreciated the updates and knowing that she was in good hands. It gave us great peace of mind, and our girl was happy and well cared for when we got home. We would definitely recommend Brandi to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!

This was our first time using Rover and Brandi was amazing with our two dogs for 30 minute drop-in visits. She provided updates on potty times, play details, and observations of one dog maybe not feeling well. We will definitely use her again in the future! Thanks Brandi! 🥰

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Burton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Burton is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $30 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 986 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Burton. 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.

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 Burton 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Burton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
