“Jessica is just the best! Our dog can be a handful but she really goes the extra mile to make sure he's well loved and taken care of. I seriously could not recommend her highly enough!”
About: I've been a dog sitter for over a decade, on top of having my own pets as well. I've watched dogs as small as shih tzus and yorkies, to dogs as big pit bulls and labs. I am pretty active and love to go on walks, and would love to bring your dog with me! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility throughout the day to help take care of your pets! I am available for daytime walks or check-ins almost everyday, and available to house sit any time as long as you reach out in advance! I have house-sat for friends and family for over 10+ years, and feel very comfortable saying that I have always been a clean, respectful house guest. I am a non-smoker; and I would prioritize your comfort and privacy while staying in your home, ensuring your pet is well cared for when I am there.
“I would highly recommend Steven for your pet. He is conscientious and was wonderfully kind to my old girl. She needed meds, which he gave right on time everyday. And even let me know when I was running low. And best of all his "proof of lifr" photos we're a God send.”
About: Hi! I’m Laila! I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have a Cocker Spaniel named Nova, who is basically the friendliest dog you’ll ever meet. I especially love working with medium to large dogs, including dogs who are anxious, energetic, or need a little extra patience. I’m comfortable with all energy levels and can easily adapt to each dog’s personality and routine. I also have experience training younger dogs. I love getting dogs out of the house for walks, exploring parks, and letting them interact with other dogs when they’re comfortable. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, happy, and genuinely excited for their time with me! Can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m available for pet care mostly in the afternoons, evenings, and all day on weekends. I have a consistent school schedule, so I’m able to plan ahead and make sure I have plenty of time to give each dog the attention and care they need. I’m also happy to work with owners to find a schedule that fits their needs! For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets a safe, enjoyable walk while following any instructions you provide. I’ll pay attention to their pace, behavior, and comfort throughout the walk and make sure they have plenty of time to explore and get some exercise. I’ll always use the leash and equipment you provide and make sure your dog is safely returned home after the walk.
“Danielle goes above and beyond to make sure my pup has a great time while I’m away. I can leave knowing everything is taken care of. She is reliable and flexible. She’s a go-to sitter for us.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have three of my own, all different breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to seniors, including helping with the birthing process and caring for litters. My family and I have also fostered many puppies and rescue dogs through Great Dog Rescue New England. I’m a recent college graduate with a hybrid work schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for recurring bookings, overnights, drop-ins, and extended pet sitting. I’ll care for every pet like they’re one of my own!!! I work a hybrid schedule in Boston and live in Medford. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for traveling to your pups and staying with them! I’m available for recurring bookings, drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to work with you to fit your pet’s normal routine! That's most important! I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and needs, and will always treat your pets like my own!
“Jolene was great - she was communicative about the sessions, came at the requested times even though they were a bit early, and I loved the pictures of my cat having fun!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand each pet's unique personality. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their daily schedule, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Communication is very important to me. I'll send regular photo and video updates, along with messages about how your pet is doing, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm available for last-minute bookings whenever possible. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I'm happy to follow your pet's feeding schedule, medication routine, and any special instructions. I am currently working part time and have sufficient extra time to care for your kitten or cats! My availability is before 11 am and after 1pm daily. I have an apartment with a yard to walk around within gated community if needed. Additionally, it is on the ground floor for convenience or easy access.
“Can I give ten stars?? I am so happy we had James to look after our kitty while we were on a rare family vacation! The daily updates and the many pictures and videos were wonderful and made us know right from the start that we had the right person. I 100% recommend James for any pet-sitting job. Ray is happy we're back, but I can see he misses James now!! Thank you, James - you are awesome!”
“Bonnie was amazing! She came by for a meet and greet before we booked and asked so many thoughtful questions. While we were gone she sent detailed updates and lots of pics, and our cats seemed to really like her. She also went above and beyond, offering to do things we hadn’t even asked her to do just to help out. Our power also unexpectedly went out during our trip and she handled that situation very well and kept us reassured that our cats were fine. I will definitely book again and recommend her to anybody!”

“Ruby did a great job watching my cat, Caesar, while we were out of town. She was very communicative, sent us pictures and videos, and definitely alleviated a lot of worry for this pet mama. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Elizabeth dropped in over Thanksgiving week to check in on my cat each day to give him his food, medicine, and lots of snuggles. She did an awesome job keeping me updated on how he was doing, and my cat LOVED her! She sent lots of cute pictures and videos so I knew he was doing great. Would book again!”
About: Hi, my name is Erin. My husband, Brendan, and I have our own Goldendoodle, Finn. Our 2 year old daughter loves her big brother. We have a fenced in backyard. We live in close proximity to the middlesex fells for long walks and puppy play time. We usually take Finn there every weekend so if your pup loves exercise, we would be a great match. I can promise that we will give your four legged pup all the snuggles and attention needed and make sure they enjoy their stay and wanting to come back if their owner travels a lot! I work from home 3 days a week and my husband’s office is less than a mile from our house. I can be flexible on my work from home days. We have a fenced in yard, and will take great care of your pup.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Tatiana was a great and caring pet sitter for our cat Ash over the Thanksgiving Holiday! She accepted our booking quickly, set up a meet and greet before our trip, and was a prompt and friendly communicator (we liked the photo updates while we were away). Would highly recommend and would love to use her pet sitting services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burlington is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $42 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 10,578 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burlington. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
