“Annabelle was very caring for our pet and was very communicative about any questions or issues. She did everything to make sure our pet was taken care if while we were away. Thank you!”
About: Having dogs my entire life has granted me the luxury of being comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Currently, my mother and I are sharing custody of a rescue mutt. I'm also the go to dog sitter for my brother's pit bull terroir & lab. Just like us, our dogs need food, water, exercise and lots of love! I am happy to assist you with all of this and more. Including giving pet medications from pills to insulin. Open to discussing other needs not listed here! I currently work Monday through Thursday 8-5pm & Fridays 8-3pm in a dog friendly office. I do have an hour lunch break and am willing to use that time to stop by. My after work activities are extremely flexible! Weekends are also flexible and am happy to discuss overnight stays/boarding needs. If you're looking to board, please note that my condo association does not allow for 'large' dogs. There is also a 2 dog max. However, being comfortable with dogs of all sizes, I am sure we can work with my condo limits to meet your needs. If you have a fenced in yard I'm happy to throw a ball around or if your dog loves to destroy plush toys, happy to clean that up too! Hiking is also a personal love of mine and great for high energy pups.
About: I've been a cat(s)'s human nearly my whole life - don't tell my landlord, but we've got 4 at home! Been around dogs my whole life too - my husband and I adopted a doggo in 2019 and he is now a certified AKC trick dog. 😎 Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks! We've fostered cats and have always dogsat for friends. Looking forward to meeting your critters! I probably won't remember your name but I'll definitely remember theirs. I'm currently on leave from work but will be remote after I return to work duties in November and can continue seeing regulars, so your pets and I can form a beautiful lasting friendship! I love walking, hiking AND EVEN running with dogs! Happy to accomodate your pups needs. I love being active but I also love vegging around, so if your furry friend is shy but needs a soothing presence while you're out of town, I'm happy to sit around and read or play switch. Super happy to be as flexible as possible to accomodate your needs!
“I can not say enough about how awesome Melissa was watching our dog! She did an excellent job keeping us inform and sending pictures. Our dog will get sad when we go away she showed so much empathy and understanding towards him! I would highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Ella took great care of our two cats every morning for two weeks. we received pictures everyday, Ella is super nice, and did a fantastic job taking care of and entertaining our two cats. we were really happy to have found Ella on Rover.”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. I had two boxers named Harley and Pedi, then a bulldog named Chumley, and now I have a bulldog named Lola and I can’t picture my life without any of them. I love to play with them, walk them, take them on adventures, snuggle, and have fun with them. My current dog is basically my baby I love her so much! I recently moved out, but Lola comes and stays with my boyfriend and I half the time. Her being around or not can be an easy thing to work around. The new house I moved into has a wonderful yard for dogs to run around in! It’s a very family friendly neighborhood. I am currently a full time hospital worker, working 4 shifts in the week. I have plenty of flexible time on the weekends, and weeknights as well. I usually have one day off in the next that rotates. My home has a fenced in yard, it’s a perfect size to run around in. My bull dog Lola loves the yard when she is over. We have a very safe neighborhood where Lola and I enjoy walks. My boyfriend works from home so when I’m at work he’s able to keep an eye on her. She eats twice a day, loves to play (especially when she gets zoomies), loves to snuggle in the evenings. Caring for pets in my home or another home I would follow any instructions from the owner and ensure the dog is comfortable and having fun!
“Sophia is great! She was available when I needed last minute Labor Day weekend drop ins for my cat. I liked her immediately, and she took very good care of my Sam. He definitely warmed up to her after just 1 visit. Will absolutely hire Sophia again!”
“Kat did a great job taking care of Gunnar. She communicated very promptly and clearly from the first contact; we set up a meet and greet for the next day and then two days later she came and walked him while I was away. She clearly loves dogs and he instantly loved her back. I knew he was in good hands. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and I recommend her highly to anyone looking for pet care.”

About: For the last two and a half years I have been taking care and walking my families dog, and the amount of love and care she needs makes me even more eager to help out whenever needed because dogs and in general pets are a humans real companion. I have also recently took care my family friends two tall and fluffy poodles and it was the best 10 days of my life. I am a full time student, and have another part time job. I am very willing to walk your dog after school. I am also willing to wake up very early (about 6 am) to walk pets right before school starts. My weekends are often free and most times I’ll be available on every second weekend of the month after 5:30 pm. I unfortunately cannot have pets in the apartment I am living in currently. I would be very happy to get familiar with one’s home and see what also the dog’s needs may be and I’m willing to adjust to whatever a pet may need.
“Kristen took fantastic care of our kitty while we were out of town. We very much appreciated Kristen's reliability, attention to detail, and above all, the many pictures that she sent of our baby :) Thank you so much!”
About: Reliable and caring dog walker who is passionate about providing safe, fun, and enjoyable walks for every dog. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and love while in my care. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I work full time as an operating room nurse. I am available on the weekends and have most mondays off. Also available for evening walks. I care for every pet as if they are my own.

About: I am happy to spend extra time to help your pet feel cared for and get the exercise they need. I'm experienced in caring for dogs, cats, and rodents (hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs) I recently finished school, and am looking for work. I'm currently available full-time for pet care. Even after I find employment, I plan to continue making time for pet care. I primarily care for pets in my clients' homes, since my own dog is territorial. My clients' pets are happy to be cared for in surrounding they are familiar with.

About: I have loved dogs my whole life but have never had one of my own. Because of this, I’ve become the go-to guy for all my friends’ dogsitting needs. I spent 2020 as a professional dog walker in Boston and fine tuned my skills at handling multiple dogs at a time. I have picked up training skills and also enjoy taking photos of my furry friends! Additionally, I have cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every dog is different in how much attention or exercise they need and I’m always ready to adapt to best take care of them. I love getting to know dogs and their unique personalities and I hope I can get to know yours too! While I may be a dog person, I love all animals and have met my share of cool cats so please consider me to care for all kinds of fur babies. I’m currently caring for two golden doodles, Muffin & Brandy, for the summer. If you ask them, we have a great routine of food, sleep and play! I know every pet has specific needs and I am always looking to meet those so they can live their best lives. I’m capable of handling dogs with high energy levels or chill out with kitties that just want to snooze. I’m always vigilant as well since I know our pals can sometimes be sneaky.
“Elizabeth is so wonderful! She is always on time and wonderful with all types of pet personalities. We are looking forward to having her back in the near future!”

Wen graciously accepted my last minute booking after my partner needed to leave town and I had a 24hr shift at work. It was such a relief knowing my dogs were in good hands while I was working. She always sent multiple photos and made sure to hangout with them so they wouldn’t get too lonely. I will definitely book with Wen again!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
