About: I’ve raised dogs since I was 11, from huskies to hunting breeds; with 20 years of hands-on care, I can handle seniors, puppies, and anyone that needs a little bit of extra attention. I'm a full-time stay-at-home dog mom, and my dogs get round-the-clock care. They want a little extra time with Dad, so they pushed me to do Rover. For dog walking, I provide a fun walk tailored to each dog’s energy level and temperament. During check-ins, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, medication if needed, and companionship. For overnight stays, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to the best of my ability, offer comfort, monitor behavior, and ensure home security. I’m experienced with senior dogs, wound care, and special needs, and I prioritize clear and FAST communication with owners through updates and photos.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own, they go places with me and lots of walks. I am polite, trustworthy, hard working, caring, and reliable. I am by myself caring for your pet. I am available all evening, morning, and weekends. I can clean cat pans, pick up dog feces, take.dogs for walks, clean and play with pets. I have a big house, lots of space, and a fenced in yard. I have multiple water fountains and keep a schedule. Animals are aloud on the furniture and to play and be themselves.
About: I have had different animals while growing up, primarily dogs and cats. And I have experience with large dogs as well. I’ve also helped friends and family with watching their animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me the freedom to help take care of other animals. I should not have a problem having time to help with your pets needs. I will be able to help pet sit, dog walk, and care for your animals needs so you don’t have to worry about them being taken care of.
About: I have had multiple pets since I was young. I take care of pets for family members and have worked in vet clinics. I love all animals. I work full time at a clinic. But I would love to pet sit or walk dogs on the side especially for people that can’t get them outside them selves or for anyone. I am available on Thursday's and weekends. I can come to clients home and take dogs for walks or come and check in on dogs or cats that need someone to check on them. Or playtimes.
About: My name is Diego and I have a 16 year old cat and am very attentive to their needs and have had experience with senior dogs as well. Looking forward to caring for your pets as I would my own. Open to accommodate for your pet's needs. Making sure my own cat is fed in a timely manner as they are older. Take the time to brush them frequently as they are a long hair and cleaning up after them as needed. I am unable to sit for pets where I live but am open to do drop in visits to care for your pets if needed.
About: I got my first pet when I was 8 and have had pets ever since. I love meeting other people’s pets. I ran a pet transport business transporting pets across the country two years ago and am excited to now stay closer to home while still spending time with special pets. My kids are grown with their own families so I have plenty of free time to spend caring for your precious pets, whether you just need a drop in visit or overnight care. I am an honest dependable person who will treat you, your pet(s), and your home with the utmost respect. I am a patient person who will be nothing but loving to your pet(s).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Burlington on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 20 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Burlington. 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 West Burlington 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 West Burlington 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 West Burlington 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
