“Craig did a wonderful job taking care of Shelby for 5 days/nights. He kept us informed and sent us updates with photos during our trip which was really appreciated. Our dog really took to Craig and I know it made things easier for him being away from us for several days. Thank you Craig!”
“Highly recommend Christina for in-home pet sitting! She stayed for over a week and our two dogs and cat seemed very content and well-cared for and our home was in perfect condition upon our return. Her communication is great, stopped by twice prior for meet and greets since this was our first time having her stay. We received multiple pictures each day which was an added bonus. Both of our dogs take medication and she was comfortable handling that and even offered to help with fish, plants, trash, and mail if needed. 😁 Overall very happy with our experience and appreciative of the excellent care we received.”
“Lauren sent pictures and kept us posted on our pets well being. They all seemed very happy. She was flexible as we returned early but we made sure she was compensated for the entire booking.”
“Aston was great! She took care of our dog and cat for a weekend getaway. Our goldendoodle is usually very wary of strangers and took to Ashton immediately. She took care of our pets as if they were her own and left the house clean as well!”
About: I have experience rescuing cats and dogs and administering medication. I’ve also done house sitting and pet sitting for several homes. I enjoy running and playing with dogs to keep them active and happy, and I can also help them stay calm when needed. I offer walks up to 1 hour and can safely handle up to 3 dogs at a time. I’m comfortable cleaning up after pets, changing diapers if needed, and giving medication. I work Mondays and Wednesday–Friday from 7 to 3, and Saturdays from 3 to 11pm. I’m free all day on Tuesdays and Sundays 😊 I adapt to each home and follow the owner’s preferences and routine for their pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or keeping their space clean. I always adjust to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: Your dog will be treated like part of our family! I work remotely from home, so your pup will have plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. They are rarely left alone at most, about an hour on the occasional grocery trip or quick walk around the neighborhood. My husband also works primarily from home, running his own home services business, so there is almost always someone here with your dog. We understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, especially when they’re away from home. Whether your pup loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, we’ll make sure they receive personalized care, regular potty breaks, plenty of affection, and a calm, loving environment. We treat every dog as if they were our own and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. I’m home most of the time, except for quick grocery trips. I’ll be available to give your dog plenty of attention and care throughout the day. We keep your pups active during the day so they’re ready to settle in at night. Dogs usually sleep in their room with their own bed or blanket (if provided), which keeps them safe and cozy. We have a separate room to ensure they’re comfortable and relaxed. Feel free to message us with any questions—we’d love to make sure both you and your pup feel at ease!
“Lauren was great - arranging the visit was super easy (although the app isn’t all that great) Lauren’s service was!! She spent the entire day with our three dachshunds while we were at Busch Gardens. She sent a few updates and pics through out the day and we didn’t have to worry about them at all. Peace of mind allowed us to relax and enjoy our time together. Thank you Lauren. We will definitely call on you again our next visit!!”
“Genevieve took wonderful care of our cat Brody at our house. He was his usual fat happy self when we got home. She also daily updated us how he was doing and sent pics. She was very respectful of our house during her stay. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter, we highly recommend her.”
“Amanda was wonderful with my two pups. She communicated daily, took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. It was great “peace of mind” traveling knowing that Amanda was taking such care!”
About: I love all animals, and am very patient and energetic and would love to help you with your fur babies when you can't be there for them! I currently work full time weekdays but am available evenings and weekends! Can be a available for weekend house sitting as well. And possibly some morning drop in visits. I can walk your pooches and play with them and would love to help kittu watch as well! Looking to do this with my 12 year old daughter to teach her some responsibility!
About: I love all animals! I grew up with family dogs, and I have done petsitting for puppies and elderly dogs for friends and family, and seasonally worked on a farm where I worked with guardian dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens. I'd be so excited to take care of your pets with the love and affection they deserve! I work on weekends, so I'm available for dog walking during the day Monday-Thursday for the most part. Would love to walk dogs or sit for them in your home! Unfortunately my home can't accommodate animal boarding. I love to give animals affection and proper care. Good outside time, exploring, playing, and order are all important for making animals feel safe and secure.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! My experience includes dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and plenty of other furry, feathery, and scaly friends. I’m comfortable with animals of all different personalities and love getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, happy, and at home. I’m also an Eagle Scout, where I earned merit badges in Dog Care and other areas that taught me responsibility, preparedness, and how to care for others. I bring that same patience and attention to every pet I look after. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. I have the patience of an older sibling (lol), the responsibility of a Scout, and the enthusiasm of someone who will absolutely be excited to meet your pet. Whether your animal wants a long walk, a playmate, some quiet company, or just someone to make sure they’re safe and cared for, I’m happy to be that person! I’m currently a full-time student at William & Mary, so my availability is primarily in the mornings, evenings, and late nights, as well as throughout the weekends. I’ll work with you to find a schedule that fits both your pet’s routine and my class schedule, and I’m happy to plan ahead to make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need! Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I like to follow your lead! Before a stay or visit, I’ll make sure I understand your pet’s feeding schedule, walks, medications, favorite activities, and any house rules. In your home, I’ll keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“Meggen was the perfect pet sitter for our dog and cat when we were on vacation. We got frequent photos and updates and came home to very chill pets. It's obvious that she loves pets and will treat them as her own. We are so happy to have found someone so responsible and trustworthy.”
“Arianna was a dream! She took care of Kia as if she was her own. I think she spoiled her more than we do, if that is possible. Another surprise? The house was spotless. My mom was so surprised when she came home and there wasn't fur built up over the time we were gone. From constant pictures and updates, to a clean house when we got home we couldn't have asked for more! Arianna is dream and Kia's new best friend!”
About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burton Woods
Alyssa did a great job with my boys. We travelled for 2 weeks and during that time, Alyssa was communicative and did a great job at giving us a great sense of peace that our 2 dogs were well and happy. She followed all instructions well and left the house spotless. We especially appreciated her "days of travel" communication - staying on top of our departures and arrivals with an eye to providing quality care for our boys.
Once again Joe went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and house. He sent photos and videos multiple times a day so I never had to worry about their care. Our overly needy pup was so relaxed and content when we returned so I know she was well loved! He was also very gracious about staying longer when we had a mix up about our return time. I highly recommend Joe for all your pet care needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Burton Woods
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burton Woods on Rover is $44.4 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 523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burton Woods. 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 Woods 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 Woods 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 Woods 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burton Woods. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
