“Anthea did a great job. She took wonderful care of our pets and house. She kept us updated while we were away. Our pets were happy and content when we returned home. We would definitely book her again.”
“Winnie loved Jessica from the moment she walked in. It was such a relief to leave my baby girl with someone like Jessica who clearly loved Winnie just as much. Communication was reliable and she’s very sweet and easy to work with. I will definitely be booking her in the future”
“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!”
About: I grew up taking care of 3 dogs in my own household, all living to ages 11, 10, and 14 years old. I have experience in agility training and have helped my Uncle train Malinois, some who are K9 certified. I have dog and cat sat(including overnight) for neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience training basic tricks to puppies and taking care of them. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also taken care of bigger animals such as horses! I have free time to hangout and take care of your pet! I am able to stay overnight, check in, and am available every day of the week! I will follow your household instructions and take care of your dog or cat like it is my own, I will make sure to keep them protected and safe.
“Amy always does a wonderful job with Tucker and my house. She’s super responsive and attentive to his needs and always goes above and beyond. She pays attention to detail and is such a joy!”
“First time using Ms. Brittany. We had your Meet Up so she could meet and greet us as well as our Fur Babies. Our cat, Suki, does not take well to anyone because she was recued as small kitten so she is very anxious after being traumatized so young. But the moment Brittany walked and to our surprise, Suki walked up to her to take a sniff and rubbed her legs. Honey, our small dog, is also very anxious and doesn't take too well with strangers because she is just about blind and can't hear well being 15 years old. We told Brittany to go slowly toward her so she knows someone is near. Honey sniffed and took well to Brittany also. This was definitely a good sign that our fur babies liked Brittany. She house sat and pet sat for us for a day. She kept in contact with us and sent us pictures also. House was kept clean while we were gone. Fur babies did well with her also. I will be using Brittany again for future house sitting and pet sitting services. Thank you so much Brittany for helping us out at the last moment when we needed a pet sitter.”
“Went above and beyond watching our two dogs. We had a very last minute trip planned the day before we left and Kayden was very professional and quick to respond. Our two dogs were super happy and clearly very comfortable and well taken care of when we got home. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip and got regular updates on how the dogs were doing. He followed all instructions and even our smaller dog who can be shy and afraid of new people became his shadow and played with him the whole time we were gone. Kayden even left our house cleaner than when he arrived. He is clearly very compassionate and caring towards animals and we will definitely hire him again for our next trip!”
“Pat house-sat with my three pugs recently and she did a fantastic job. They were all happy and well cared for when I came back. One of my dogs is elderly with incontinence and mobility issues. He is a very high maintenance doggy but I feel really good about her attention to detail in administering medications, reapplying bandages and addressing the incontinence concerns. She did a great job and I highly recommend her.”
“I’d give 10 stars if I could! I knew my Murphy girl was in good hands with Michaela during our meet n greet. She is very well educated in dog behavior and training, and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a certified trainer! She made sure Murphy got all of the loves, walks, treats and enrichment. I came back home to a happy, healthy pup and a clean house!”
“Imani was responsive, kind and dedicated to our puppy during our time away. She provided immense peace of mind for us since this was our first time being away from our pup. She left the home spotless and she handled our rambunctious puppy with care and compassion. I’d recommend Imani to anyone looking for a dog and home sitter”
“Zahara did such a great job with my puppy! He warmed up super quickly and I loved getting photos of what they were up to. Thank you so much, hope to have Kai taken care of again by you soon :)”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Burton is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burton
Zahara did great with my kitten Earl Grey! He’s pretty nosy and active and she did a perfect job keeping him entertained and happy. We compromised well on his feeding schedule and her work schedule too. Earl LOVED having her he was always snuggly, playful, and happy in the photos!
I couldn't be happier with Jessica. She was very friendly and easy to get along with. She sent me pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. My male dog has some reactive issues and Jessica had no problems with this. I am confident they were in good hands and I will continue to use Jessica for my dog sitting needs.
Janesia is absolutely the best! She watched our 3 large dogs with varying ages and personalities for 5 days without an issue. She is attentive, kind, and has great communication. House was left in perfect condition and dogs were well exercised and happy on our return. The picture updates were appreciated and kept us at ease while we were away. Would recommend her to anyone!
Zoe is amazing! She did a wonderful job of caring for my fur babies while I was gone. She would send me photos of them with updates, and I could see that they were happy and being well cared for. She understands the importance of caring for them while you’re away, and it shows. I highly recommend and will absolutely be using her again.
Cameryn was extremely open with me about her choices and how that would work with Baker. I believe she is honest and especially very caring and does what she says! This was our first time away from Baker over night and without relatives. He managed well and was not even sure we were gone because he STAYED AT HIS OWN HOME! I am very grateful!!!
Incredible house and pet sitter! Extremely communicative and very respectful of the space. The house was immaculate when I got back from my trip and the babies were very well taken care of. I’ve already scheduled Brittany to be my Rover in a few weeks. HIGHLY recommend!
This is the second time we have used Bryan to look after our pup, and he will always be our number 1 choice. Bryan is reliable, honest, mature, conscientious, and caring. Our nervous high maintenance border collie recognized Bryan on his second visit and was noticeably happier and more relaxed when we returned, having been cared for by someone he liked and trusted. Bryan also left our home absolutely immaculate - I think it might have been tidier than when I left! Thank you so much Bryan you are a star find!
Kaitlin was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and communicative, and she cared for my dog (senior dog with elder care needs) in my home for eight days and I am so grateful. I received frequent check-ins, updates, and photos while I was away, and I came home to a really clean home. She went above and beyond. I definitely recommend her for pet care and I hope to hire her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burton on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,466 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
