Evelyn stepped up to provide care for my two cats last minute. She was great with them both. I appreciate her constant communication and check-ins with pictures. Will definitely try to book her next time I’m needing someone to look after my animals!

Doreen was amazing! We have 2 Shiba Inu's who are escape artists and one of them is very afraid of new people as he was abused by prior owners. Doreen came over several times before our vacation to help him trust her and get lots of treats while doing so. Everything went well and we will use Doreen again in the future!

About: 🐾***new to Rover, extremely experienced in pet care***🐾 I have been in the pet care and training industry since 2015. I completed a 3 month seminar at Bergin University of Canine Studies in California. I run my pet sitting and dog walking services and recently joined Rover to get more gigs. I care for the pets in the owner's home. Feeding, playing, and lots of love are included in my visits!🐾 I take care of animals daily. I do pet sitting on my own, and have for years since 2015. I worked in kennels, boarding facilities, doggie daycares, and training facilities. I care for my own dogs, birds, and rats daily. Animals are my life! Your pet's safety and happiness are my upmost priority. I strive to make every animal's life better. I like to get detailed instructions so I can make your pet as comfortable as possible.

About: Skilled Dog Walker with 1+ year of experience in providing reliable and safe walks for a variety of breeds. Well-versed in developing positive relationship with pets and owners. I’m currently work full-time during the weekdays but I do have some time boarding dogs for the weekend. I’m always free to take a good care of dogs for weekends when their owner needs some break or out of the town! I live in a house with a huge fenced in backyard with a lot of space for the dogs to play around. I also have two dogs, they get along with any dogs! I also do enjoy taking dogs for a long walk nearby the neighborhood for some fresh air.

Nicole was fantastic! She was very kind, professional, and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly to my messages and kept me updated throughout the visit. I really appreciated that she sent me a photo of my dog—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would definitely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!

About: I have had family dogs all my life. Currently I have two senior cats and two Belgian Malinois who are part of my family. We’re a very active family and enjoy being outdoors. I’m a stay at home mom which allows me to have a flexible schedule, unless I have appointments for the kiddos. I’m part time military so I won’t be available those weekends but I’ll let you know in advance 🫶 I’m a stay at home mom and a weekend warrior, iykyk. Availability is open unless I’m scheduled for drill and I’ll give an advanced notice or if I have appointments scheduled. I’ll follow your instructions to the T. My dogs have taught me a lot about dog behaviors and what to look out for. Either way I tend to avoid anything that may upset any dog. Cats are much more independent and they usually just need feeding and cleaning.

About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I work from home Monday through Thursday, which allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I occasionally have an in-person meeting, but I’m typically only away for an hour or two at most. I work in person Friday evenings and Saturdays, so my availability is primarily Sunday through Friday afternoon. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet lots of love and care while keeping them comfortable with their normal routine! What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.

I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have for your pet. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or just wants some extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care! I offer a variety of pet care services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, overnight care, medication administration (when needed), litter box cleaning, and of course, lots of love and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I'll gladly send photo and video updates to give you peace of mind while you're away. I've spent many years caring for my own pets as well as helping friends, family, and neighbors with theirs. Through those experiences, I've learned how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for animals. I'm comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I enjoy getting to know each one individually so I can provide care that matches their unique personality. I currently work part-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I have availability during Sundays, weekdays and most evenings, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules. I never want a pet to feel rushed or overlooked, so I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is simple: to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can leave home knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to building a lasting relationship with both you and your pet!

Taylor was absolutely fantastic! I am very nervous leaving my big German shepherd with anyone (I’m a bit of a helicopter parent) but Taylor got on with him very well! She dropped in on him during a very long day at work for me, gave him a bit of attention and a potty break, and all went smoothly! She communicated quickly when she was with him and even brought in my heavy chewy box of dog food that was delivered! I can’t say how happy I am to have someone that seems to like my big boy and will be able to take care of him when I need. Taylor is awesome!!

Becca was amazing! She agreed to three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours notice. She was on-time for every visit, followed the instructions we had left, made sure that both of our dogs were well taken care of and even spent some time with them. Everything went so well that we've asked Becca to be our regular sitter. ?

About: I’ve been caring for dogs through walking and pet sitting since 2024, helping neighbors, friends, and family with everything from daily walks to overnight care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for. In addition to pet care, I’ve been babysitting for about 5 years, which has made me very responsible, patient, and reliable. I’m used to being trusted in others’ homes and keeping a consistent routine. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure to provide updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule this summer, which allows me to give your pet lots of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the time, exercise, and consistency they’re used to. I always prioritize safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 3,040 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burlington. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
