About: My family loves animals, especially dogs. We are dedicated to making your dog feel at home while you’re busy. We will always treat your dog with love, compassion and respect. I love puppies but they must be house trained. My wife and I both work from home. I am self employed so I make my own hours and that allows me to provide exceptional care to your dog. We have a 2 year old French bull dog who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs.Because I am an animal lover and giving back is so important to me I WILL DONATE 5% of my earnings to The MSPCA! I have a fenced in yard and we live on a quiet dead end street. The park is 2 minutes from our home and we go there often to allow our dog to play.I never have more than 3 dogs in my house at once which allows me to give your dog my undivided attention and love. Your dog will always be safe, happy and very well cared for.

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through dog-sitting for family and neighbors. I’ve cared for dogs during weekends, holidays, and overnight stays, ensuring they are fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners are away.

I understand how important trust is when caring for your pet. When your pets are in my care, I will make sure they are fed, walked, and overall cared for. I will treat you, your home, and your pets respectfully and with genuine intent, just like I would with my own home and pets.
“Andria was so helpful watching our puppy on short notice. she had to deal with my moodiness ellie who was originally not happy-go-lucky about having a Stranger watching her but Andria was a trooper and ellie took to her. I can't thank her enough”
“My dogs are my world. They aren't the easiest and I was hesitant to leave them in someone else's care. My husband and I chose Bethany. She had no problems with them and for the first time in years we are able to go away. We are confident knowing Kingsley and Rosa are being well taken care of by her. I highly recommend Bethany.”

“Bonnie was an excellent caretaker for my cat. She sent updates every day, and I felt so reassured having a calm, energetic professional looking after my girl while I was away. Bonnie was also very patient and understanding of my cat's shy personality. You can trust her with anything!”

About: I worked overnight at the PetSmart Pet Hotel for 2 years, taking care of both dogs and cats—feeding them, cleaning up, and making sure they were safe and comfortable through the night.

I’m also a K–8 paraprofessional, so I’m very patient, responsible, and used to being on my feet and handling a lot at once. I have a really bubbly, caring personality and genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel happy and safe.

About: I have cared for a variety of different animals from dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I have stayed at family’s homes to care for their pets, and I have also had pets stay in my home to care for them. I am experienced in walking bigger dog breads as well as small ones. I am currently a college student so I have extended breaks during different times of the year so my availability ranges. From May-August, December-January I have the most availability. Other times of the year, late afternoon-evenings, and weekends is my availability. I will be sure to keep your animals safe, well cared for, and loved while they are in my care. I am well versed in learning the routines of animals while I care for them, so your pets will be very comfortable while you are away, or under my care in general.

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.
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 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Burlington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
