“Shaelyn was amazing! Her communication was incredible, and our dog absolutely loved her. The regular photo updates were so appreciated and truly made the whole experience even better. We felt completely at ease and would 100% book with Shaelyn again.”
About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.
“Anthea is wonderful!! We appreciated her daily updates with photos. It was so nice having her in our home to keep our 16 year old girl on her schedule. Anthea paid extra attention to the details! Our 9 year old girl was clearly well cared for as well! This is the best way to feel comfortable while traveling and knowing our dogs are getting the level of care and attention they deserve. Anthea took great care of our home as well! Already looking forward to our next booking!”
“Pat did a great job with our 2 senior dogs with special needs for 5 days. Our babies are not easy to care for. Pat kept in contact and even did the dishes. We will hire her again. Thanks Pat!”
“Michaela was absolutely wonderful. We have a dog who can be reactive to other dogs and people and have never left him with someone he doesn’t know to watch him. Michaela almost instantly became his best friend-something he has never done before! She is confident with dogs and takes their reactivity seriously which made us feel so much better while we were gone. We got updates on him multiple times a day with pictures and she was very responsive if we messaged her to check on him. She left our apartment spotless-and honestly probably cleaner than when she got here. She was on time on arrival and followed our instructions to the letter. We will absolutely be asking her to watch our baby again. Thank you Michaela for watching our baby!”
“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”
“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”
“We are grateful for Amy's stellar care of our big girl, in our home, while we were away. The active lifestyle Amy leads was just the spirit-lifter needed for our separation-anxiety ridden dog, Murphy Quinn. Amy was wonderful about sending texts & pictures of their activities or downtime. From those communications we were regularly updated & able to share in their enjoyment of: *morning & evening walks before Amy left & after returning from her other job, *cuddly sleep-ins on the weekend before leaving for her social activities & *exciting introduction to another new person (Amy's approved visitor/ fiancé) for cozy weekend dinners in. On top of all that, Amy spruced up our home before she left it & even left some extra sweet touches (flowers & card) for our return. We are elated that our overwhelming fur-baby was so well loved in our absence. Thank you Amy!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we had an awesome experience with Tiffany! Mochi can be a bit dramatic and for sure shows her Shiba attitude — but Tiffany was awesome with her as she is very knowledgeable and flexible. She eased all of our worries with leaving Mochi for the week, and we were definitely able to enjoy our trip more knowing that Mochi was in good hands! We got pictures and updates daily, and Mochi said she had a great week :) We will definitely book with Tiffany for our next trip!”
“Sierra was perfect for my high-energy puppy. She completely understood how demanding a young dog can be, making sure he got plenty of exercise and playtime. The photo updates she sent were fantastic and so fun to receive. I came home to a spotless house and a very tired, happy dog. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica is wonderful and I would highly recommend her. I have two German Shepherds and don’t trust many people with my dogs. Jessica is communicative and professional.”
“Selma is consistently kind, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our cats and our home. We have booked her multiple times and continue to plan doing so. All of our cats love her and she has gotten to know their personalities well. Highly recommend!”
“Skyler was absolutely amazing with my GSD who wasn't so sure about letting someone new into the house even after meeting her. He was still skeptical about it. However she worked amazing with him and they became friends. I will definitely use her again in the future”
“Roree was amazing! We have an epileptic dog who needs meds twice a day at specific times. Roree was on top of everything! She was with him almost 24/7 and gave him the best of care! She sent lots of photos daily and kept us up to date. Roree also took care of our house and everything was perfect when we returned. Highly recommended!!!”
“Danielle was a fantastic dogsitter! She was willing to come to meet us and our dog ahead of time to see if it could be a good fit. She was very sweet with our dog, and I could tell that he felt comfortable with her. We had her dogsit at our home for a long weekend, and she provided daily updates with photos and reports of how our dog was doing. She really gave us peace of mind, and we would definitely trust her with our dog again in the future.”

Cameryn was wonderful with our Wendy dog. Wendy became anxious after our other dog died. Cameryn was able to calm her. She has a special way with dogs. Cameryn spent the nights here and sent us updates. We will be using Cameryn again next month for our vacation! Thank you Cameryn😘💗
Jane and Paul were excellent! Words cannot describe what a relief it was to find someone at the last minute who truly cared for our senior dog Mollie! The updates from them were very much appreciated, and Paul left no trace of being in our appreciated. So reliable and trustworthy we will surely be using them again in the future. Thank you, Chris & Tina Reyes
Skylar is the very best! We love her! This time, she noticed we labeled something wrong, double checked the instructions and what she has been doing during the stay, and then reached out to us to verify and notify us. I love the open communication and all the love for our fur babies!
Annie got our nervous boy to cuddle with her! She did such a wonderful job watching both our dog and our cat while we were out of state. Gave us peace of mind that our babies were safe with her for the week. Can’t recommend her enough, gave us updates and pictures throughout the week as well!
Shane was great. He sent me photos and videos while I was away. Gave my eldest dog her antibiotics. The dogs seemed a little too happy that I was gone. It was also the week of both his and wife’s birthdays, so I appreciated the sacrifices he made for them/us. He took the trashcan up my driveway for collection and brought in the mail too. Also, the house was very clean when I got back. All very much appreciated by me.
Having Michaela was the best dog/house sitter experience. She was perfect with our three big dogs who can be a handful at times. She is very attentive to each dogs needs, quirks, and behaviours. She sent photos and updates each day to put us at ease. Walked/played with them multiple times a day. She even left a sweet card with their paw prints and pictures of them. So thoughtful and left the house cleaner than when we left. 10/10 recommend.
Caitlin stayed for an extended weekend with our 4 month old kitten and was absolutely amazing! I was nervous about leaving our boy for the first time and Caitlin made the whole process so comfortable and reassuring-she met him before we left, and provided a ton of detail about what to expect. It’s very clear that Caitlin is passionate about animals and is incredibly knowledgeable, she went out of her way to provide really helpful new food and litter recommendations and was willing to test things out for us under her care. She was very responsive and respectful of our requests and care for our home as well. 10/10, would absolutely recommend and rebook with Caitlin any time!
Tiffany just finished up a week long house sit and she was fantastic. I am a repeat client, and it’s amazing to be away and not worry about whether my dogs are being well taken care of - I know Tiffany is giving them all the love and attention I would want them to have in my absence!
Lynette was absolutely amazing! She stayed with our pup while we were out of town and she was very communicative. We got puppy pictures everyday and she was very quick to respond. She even came back to let him out when our flight was delayed. She is my first call next time I need a dog sitter!
Alex in now my go-to sitter for my Aussie. I really appreciate his clear and reliable communication, and I come home to a dog who is happy and well cared for and a tidy house. It's a relief to have someone I trust to take good care of my little dude when I go away.
Tashi and I connected as I had a last minute cancellation of another dog sisters and wow so glad Tashi could take the job instead! Great energy right away with our dog, and communication throughout time away was consistent and helpful! Would absolutely rebook!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burton on Rover is $60.83 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 4,438 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burton. 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
