“Hannah and Tillie were great keepers of our fur baby! He had an awesome day playing and Hannah took tons of pictures and kept us updated. Will definitely be booking again!”
“I was so pleased with the care Nicole took of our senior Rottweiler and my sons very active Pitt Bull mix Our Rottweiler is on multiple medications that are time sensitive and she handled everything like a pro. Communication was great. The fact that she asked really good clarifying questions about my dogs medication schedule and care made me fell confident that he was in good hands. We came home to happy dogs and a nice neat home. Nicole will care for your dogs with attention to detail and also lots of love.”

About: Current active duty Marine stationed here in Beaufort. Have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life (and goats) and miss caring for and interacting with animals. I have a passion for dog training and would be more than happy to help anyone with the basics. I’m super active and can handle high energy dogs too. Thank you in advance for choosing me! I am currently an active duty Marine Corps Officer here in Beaufort! I am a single guy and have a ton of time during the early mornings, lunch time, and evenings to care for your animals! I live in an apartment so I unfortunately cannot board animals in my home. I am a huge softie for animals and treat any as if they were my own. I am honored to have the trust of my clients to watch a member of their family.
“Caroline stayed in my home for two weeks to take care of my four cats. She did a good job and even though they were standoffish much of the time (cats!), she did convert Rogue by the end!”
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of dogs and animals. I have kept older dogs, puppies, very large dogs, smaller dogs, deaf and blind animals, and I love them all. I am a huge dog person and I love to be able to take care of them when it’s needed. I’m a freshman in college in Beaufort, my schedule usually looks like me being done with class around 12:00 every day. However, this will change when the new semester starts. I’m usually pretty flexible with help & timing. I care for pets in the clients home however they would like. I am flexible and want to meet the clients/ dogs needs. I do not have preferences as to what needs to be done for the animals. I would say I’m knowledgeable and can provide care that meets your requirements.
“Abbie was an amazing sitter! She was very attentive to our dogs, kept us updated, and was always present when we needed her. She took the dogs for walks and gave them plenty of care and attention. We really enjoyed having her as our sitter and would definitely have her back again! 🐾💕”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burton
Nicole is a lifesaver! I was in town for my son's MCRD graduation and brought my very lovable, yet very obnoxious 92 lb dog. Nicole "dog sat" him for two days at my rental house. She did an amazing job keeping him company, keeping him calm and happy, playing with him, feeding him, etc. She did an excellent job with a very difficult dog. Nicole is super professional and personable - very trustworthy with you furbabies! Thank you again, Nicole!
Dixie did a great job taking care of our of pup while we were out of town. She followed our instructions to a T, sent plenty of photos and updates, and left our house sparkling clean when she left. We hadn't used an in-home sitter before and couldn't be happier we picked Dixie. Highly recommend!
Just had Kitty stay with our two dogs for a few days. First time for us having someone come to the home and it could not have gone smoother. She was there all the times she said she would be & provided pictures and great communication. She went over and above in her care for them. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. I will definitely use Kitty again.
Patty did a wonderful job taking care of my Boston Terrier Oliver. When I returned after 5 days he was happy and confident and did not show any signs of stress. Patty was great at keeping in touch and sending pictures and info about how Oliver was doing. Best of all, when I was delayed a full day getting back because of bad weather, she continued taking good care of him until I got home. I knew she cared about him and wanted to make sure all his needs were met. In addition to taking good care of Oliver, Patty also took good care of my home and left everything neat and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend Patty for walks and or overnights with your pup.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Burton is $58 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night. 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.

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 Burton 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 Burton 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 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!
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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Burton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
