“Jessica was great! She took great care of our dogs, and our home. She was very attentive as I explained and showed her around, and we couldn't be happier! Easy and prompt communication! I will and intend to book her again, without hesitation.”
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!
“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!”
“Omar was truly amazing! We were in a crunch after our original dog sitter did not finalize as expected, and Omar stepped in on short notice without hesitation. He confirmed the dates quickly and even made time to meet our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks for two walks before the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. From the beginning, Omar was prompt, professional, trustworthy, and genuinely eager to meet our dogs. During the stay, he kept their schedule consistent and even took them on extra walks, which I know they absolutely loved. He kept us updated throughout, and we always felt confident that our dogs were safe, secure, and well cared for. Omar is not only a great sitter and walker, but also an overall great person. Our dogs loved him, and we would feel completely comfortable having them stay with him anytime we travel. I think we have officially found our recurring sitter and walker. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Christy recently dog sat at our home for a week for our 7 year old mini doodle and we could not recommend her highly enough! She was reliable, communicative, responsive, great at expectation setting and clearly someone who genuinely loves caring for and spending time with pets. We knew our dog was in great hands with her and getting lots of love and attention. She even came to our home an extra time before our trip, to make sure our dog got to know and trust her. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would enthusiastically rebook with her in the future. Thank you, Christy!”
“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!”
“Pan had a fabulous time with James. James treated Pan with love and care as if he were his own pup. We received transparent and timely communication, he shared lots of great photos and even took Pan on some fun field trips during the week. Would absolutely book again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Courtney was wonderful! She came to visit once before our scheduled weekend away. She met the dogs, and asked lots of great questions. She's very patient, and gentle - both dogs did very well with her (including one who is very shy with new people). She was very responsive to texts/calls, and kept us posted of how everything was going during her stay. I will definitely be keeping in touch with her!!! Very, very happy with everything :)”
“I’m afraid to leave this review because Sasha may have less availability in the future, not that I’m so influential…lol. However, I must say that my dogs, who have separation anxiety, took to Sasha like no other dog sitter we have had! The communication and engagement throughout her stay was excellent. We got pictures and feedback while she was with the dogs and she answered all our messages very quickly. I could tell by the pictures that our girls were very comfortable and happy and that means the world to us. Perhaps these empty nesters will actually get to go away for a weekend in the near future! Sasha welcomed my list of instructions and followed through and left our dogs and our home in great shape. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Grace did a great job house sitting our elderly dog while we were away. She kept the house clean and our old Boston terrier was so well cared for I think he was sad to see her go. I’d recommend Grace to anyone that needs house sitting / dog sitting services.”
“Tanya is outstanding. One of our dogs is very afraid of new people, but she warmed up to Tanya very quickly - much more quickly than I expected. Tanya was great with the dogs, respectful our of home, and highly communicative. She is a great dog sitter/walker and we would definitely hire her again.”
“Timothy was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter. I’m always nervous to leave my dog because of his high anxiety issues but Timothy quickly put my worries at ease. What a relief! Timothy is a kind and gentle soul who easily connected with our pooch Kyro, he made sure to follow our instructions to a tee, checked in frequently, sent lots of pictures, and left our house spotless. I highly recommend Timothy and will definitely be using his services again.”
“Andrew is terrific. He keeps us informed about how things are going. He goes above and beyond, staying to make sure our flight gets back on time, taking garbage out knowing we won't get home till very late etc. Bernie, our dog, was clearly well taken care of as was the house. Andrew has taken care of Bernie many times for us. We know we can count on him”

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.
Veena house-sat for two nights to care for my three dogs and cat. I feel very comfortable to have her as my sitter and will be using her for my upcoming needs! When one of my dogs bolted out the front door, Veena spent nearly 5 hours in the heat to get her safely back inside, staying calm and trying numerous techniques. She kept me updated the entire time. One of my dogs has limited mobility. Veena would carry him outside and gently hold him up so he could use the bathroom, then bathed him so he’d be clean and comfortable when I returned. Soiled mats were laundered as well. She also administered medications, sent regular photo and video updates, and gave all my pets genuine affection and care. Amazing care—I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burlington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,516 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.

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.
