“Jessica did an outstanding job house-sitting our cat for ten days despite a very short notice booking and complicated new home environment. She sent a ton of updates, and we really appreciated knowing for sure our cat was doing so well during this trip!”
“Delaney W was great with my Jack Russell Terrier. She communicated with me and left photos. She was punctual and informative. I did not worry at all about the care my dog was receiving. Thank you, Delaney!”
“Kerri was absolutely wonderful and truly loves dogs. From the daily walks to the constant photo updates, it was so clear how comfortable and happy our pups were with her — lots of cuddles and snuggles in the pictures. Our house was left in perfect condition, exactly how we left it. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such caring hands and will definitely use her for all future trips. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give Tom 100 stars, I would. He truly went above and beyond in caring for our dogs. From the moment we left, we received continuous updates and photos which gave me complete peace of mind. He didn't just cover the basics, he showered them with so much genuine love, care, and attention. The real proof was in our dogs' behavior they were actually sad when he left! It is so rare to find someone who connects with your babies like this. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
“Asia took wonderful care of my Yorkie over the course of two days this week. She is friendly, diligent, professional, communicative, and very kind. Your pet could not possibly be in a better hands. She has a great love for animals and it shows in her work.”
“Sydney took good care of our pups while we were gone! She was available to help us on short notice when another Rover canceled on us at the last minute. We will definitely consider her again on our next trip!”
“Jasmine is fantastic! She took such great care of my dog Beau. She watched him at my home, was very attentive to his needs and took great care of my home as well. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the stay and very responsive. I would highly recommend Jasmine!”
“Guillermo was great with my skittish pets. My dog Freyja especially is usually very fearful with strangers and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn't know, but she warmed up to him to the point where he was able to put her harness on and off (which is a big deal- trust me.) The cat ended up cuddling on the couch with him too. And he took good care of the house too, leaving everything clean. He was great!”
“Liz was a very caring, kind, and fun caregiver for my two English Shepherds, young Scout and older Molly. She stayed with them for two full weeks, followed my copious dirctions and everything went smoothly. I recommeend her highly!”
“Tanya is a wonderful dog sitter! She kept our dog Vinny company over Christmas when we had plans fall through last minute. She was a terrific companion to Vinny. Is incredibly responsive and provides lots of pictures. Highly recommend!!”
“We recently had StacyLynn watch our two dogs, Sophie and Misha, and were very pleased with her stay. She kept in touch with us throughout the visit and sent pictures to let us know how the dogs were doing. We felt safe having her come into our home and recommend her highly.”
“Renee has now sat for our two labs in our home several times, and each time provides excellent communication (including photos) about the dogs or anything that may be happening in the house. We return to a clean home, happy pets and it has made returning from going away so much easier. Highly recommend.”

About: Dogs are more than just pets…they’re family and vital companions in our daily lives. With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes (from geckos to Great Danes), I bring a calm, attentive, and knowledgeable approach to dog sitting and walking. I am currently in a mentorship and shadow program intensive to also become a dog trainer, so your dog will also get to practice some skills with me! My journey with dogs began early with family pets and expanded into dedicated pet sitting for neighbors and friends. As a lifelong learner, I’ve spent years studying dog behavior, body language, and communication styles through training my own dog. I have experience working with reactive dogs, maintaining strict routines, and using consistent, structure to make every pup feel safe and secure. I also regularly assist a close friend who is a professional dog trainer, which has given me great insight into handling diverse personalities, energy levels, and care needs. Outside of pet care, I work as a mental health therapist. My professional background deeply informs how I interact with animals. I understand the reciprocal bond between humans and their dogs, and I treat every animal in my care with the utmost empathy, patience, and respect. What to Expect Attentive & Safety First Care: Whether keeping up with medication, supporting structured routines, or managing triggers on walks, your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Active Adventures: I love helping dogs explore! If your pup enjoys an active lifestyle, I’m happy to take them along for hikes, trail walks, or gentle runs tailored to their fitness level. Tailored Communication: You’ll receive clear, regular updates and photos so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a chill check-in, a structured neighborhood stroll, or a outdoor trail adventure, I’ll provide the exact same devotion, care, and attention I give to my own dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work from home as a mental health therapist. I am able to make my schedule and work around your pet’s needs as needed! There will always be time for potty and play breaks. I have a large yard, as well as my dog who is crate trained. If staying at your home, I would love to be clear on your pet’s schedule so they can have consistency. I also love having adventure buddies, so if your dog likes to be out in nature for trail walks or swims, I’m your gal!
“Catherine was an incredible help with our dog and our sassy cat! She kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she cared for both our pets and our home as if they were her own. Highly recommend!”
“Nikki was amazing and we will definitely book with her in the future. After a bad kennel experience we weren’t sure we’d ever be able to leave our two fur babies. Nikki made our week away easy and stress free. Constant updates photos and videos. Thanks again Nikki!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Sarah took wonderful care of our 9-year-old Sheltie for three nights. He isn't the easiest dog to care for—he's on a special diet, takes several medications and supplements, and has arthritis, which makes stairs and long walks difficult. Sarah handled all of his needs with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. To make things even more challenging, our dog can be a bit standoffish with new people. Sarah was incredibly sweet and patient with him, and before long she had completely won him over. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She texted us with photos and comments on what they were doing each day. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and a spotless house. We wouldn't hesitate to trust Sarah with him again and in fact have rebooked another house sitting with her. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $55.5 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 6,393 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across 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 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 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Burlington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
