“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!”
“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!”
“Tom was wonderful! Our dog is usually really nervous around strangers and we’re pretty used to coming home to a skinnier version of her but she seemed to really enjoy being around him. Would definitely ask him to look after them again.”
About: Hi, my name is Alina and I will become a true friend for your dog. I am 28 (years old). I love pets very much. I lead a healthy lifestyle and have no bad habits. I provide pet care services and have extensive experience in pet boarding. At the moment I do not work anywhere, so my schedule is free and we can choose the most convenient format for you. Always an individual approach in accordance with the schedule and characteristics of your pet. Photo and video reports daily. Your four-legged friend will be in good hands!
“Nikki is once again a lifesaver for us! Our flight home was cancelled and she was so accommodating, stayed the extra night and took worrying about our dogs off the list of concerns. She takes such great care of our babies and is a breeze to work with!!”
“Having just moved to town, I didn't have a trusted pet sitter and didn't want to kennel my pups so my husband and I decided to take a gamble and book a sitter through Rover. I can only say picking StacyLynn was the best decision. She was always prompt when I asked for updates, answered all my questions and even went above and beyond her pet sitting duties, cleaning up more than she needed to. I kept telling my husband, "oh she even did this and this" her reviews do not lie. She's as good as they get. Thank you, StacyLynn! You made our trip worry free knowing our pups were being well taken care of!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my two cats, including daily medical care (eye drops) for one of them. They are normally skittish around new people, but warmed up to her quickly”
“Karein was awesome! She communicated well and took great care of our dogs and house while we were away. One of our dogs has behavioral/medical needs and Karein did a great job managing her needs. We will definitely look forward to having Karein dog sit for us again.”
About: Me and my wife Hannah have been around animals since childhood, and currently have a dog who we rescued. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us to walk, feed, and play with their pets. Let us help you and your furry friend! Currently have a flexible work schedule so available any day with proper notification. Can walk, run, or play with your pup, just let us know! Plenty of toys to play with making for a fun environment. Lots of walking trails and fields in the neighborhood to get out some energy.
“Jun was amazing! I highly recommend her! She watched my dog Toni for 3 days. She went above and beyond with her care and attention, and kept me up to date about everything. Jun has lot of experience with dogs, which is super nice because my dog can be reactive with other dogs. I felt Toni was in very good hands in the care of Jun.”
“Ava was so amazing with our two dogs! Our puppy had significant training requirements and she handled them all with such care and was so great about checking in. Our senior dog isn’t a big fan of eating but she tried really hard several different ways to try to get him to eat. We loved getting all the photo updates about our dudes while we were away!”
“Erin was a 5 star dog sitter! My dogs were so happy and content when I got home I wonder if they missed me at all! Ha. Erin sent fun photos and updates while she stayed and was quick to respond if I was wondering how my dogs were doing. Our house looked just like it did when we left. I would highly recommend having Erin care for your pets.”
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs, cat, and home in Annie's care! She was communicative and shared lots of photos but also gave us the freedom to enjoy our time away. The animals seemed to enjoy their time with her and the house was in great shape when we came home. Really all you can ask for! We look forward to using Annie's services again in the future.”
About: I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to provide extra care for puppies, senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and those who need a little more patience and attention. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels right at home! I work full-time during the week, so I am available to provide pet care on weekends. I love using my weekends to spend quality time with pets and give them the attention, and care they deserve. I am happy to accommodate walks, playtime, drop-ins, or sitting, depending on your pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I provide pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and preferences so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Ugur ws fantastic! He and y pooch, Olivia, clearly bonded well, and I think both had a good time. He also left the house in impeccable order. Don't take the brevity of this review as indicating anything other than time pressure on my part. Ugur was personable, communicative, and flexible in setting up a meet-and-greet before the sit. Highly recommended!”
“We are indebted to Melissa who stayed flexible and cared for our dogs as we fought a Midwest snowstorm that changed travel plans! She was communicative and patient- to have someone so reliable and who are dogs clearly love puts our minds at ease when we have to be away.”

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.
Another 5-Star review for Yanira. Yanira is the best of the best. We have used her many times to dog sit our sheltie, Pepper, and she has always provided outstanding care. Our instructions are always followed, photos and updates are sent regularly, and our house is left immaculate when we return. We have complete peace of mind knowing Pepper is in such loving and reliable hands. Yanira is wonderful, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond. She is highly recommended to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. Thank you, Yanira.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Burlington is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $92 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
