“Always a pleasure to have Jessica petsit! My cat absolutely adores her and she keeps me updated with photos and videos during each visit. Excellent communication and always accommodating!”
“Alina’s been taking care of my dog Joba while I’m at work. He loves his walks with her and I feel very comfortable leaving her to tend to him when I’m not home. Alina responds promptly and is very accommodating. She arrives on time and gives a great update on her walk with Joba. I highly recommend Alina for Rover services!”
“Jupiter has been amazing! Often times, we would have to add or cancel day sitting sessions and Jupiter never had any problems with the change. Only reason we are leaving is because we were moving, otherwise we would keep Jupiter for our dogs entire life!”
About: I'm a work-from-home dog mom with a big fenced yard, and my own high-energy Border Collie keeps me on my toes every day. I also have three cats at home who run the place, so trust me—I understand that fur babies are family! 🌟 Weight limit: 10-70 lbs. 🌟 Time: Drop off after 8AM. Pick up before 10 PM. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Maltese to fluffy Samoyeds, and I absolutely love the puppy stage—those wiggly greetings never get old! Whether your dog is a laid-back cuddler or a high-energy athlete, they'll fit right in here. Your dog will have a blast playing fetch or running around the yard with my Border Collie! I'm also happy to reinforce basic training if that's something you're working on—I'm currently doing agility and obedience training with my own pup. If yours just wants a friend to hang out with, that's perfect too. Since I'm home full time, your dog will have constant company, regular walks, and plenty of outdoor time in my secure yard. I'll send lots of photo updates and treat your pup exactly like I treat my own. A meet and greet is required before booking – I want to make sure we're all a good fit! Boarding (cats and dogs): Available weekdays & weekends (I work from home full time) 24/7. · Cat drop-in visits: Weekends (flexible), or Weekdays before 8am or after 5:30pm For Boarding in My Home: · Rabies, DHPP/DHLPP and Bordetella vaccines are required. · Make yourself at home: Home is pet-safe and clutter free. Yes, pets are allowed on the furniture! · Crate options: I have two crates available if your dog is crate trained or needs one. Crates get cleaned after each visit. · Quiet space: An empty room available if complete separation is ever needed · Night monitoring: I use a camera in the boarding room at night so I can check in anytime · Constant check-ins: I work from home full time, so I'm able to check on your dog throughout the day For Cat Drop-In Visits: · I wear gloves while doing all tasks to keep things clean and comfortable · If your cat or dog needs to be crated during my visit, I'm happy to do that
“Steven was great! He followed all instructions perfectly, including medication administration for 1 of my cats. He even spent some time playing with them during his visits. I would be happy to hire him again.”
“Courtney was great! She was willing to pick up a last minute request over a holiday weekend. She was great at communicating and sending pictures. My cat, Goose was very happy! Highly recommend!!”
“Danielle was great with our little Simba! Very communicative, friendly, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages and our neighbors made comments on how wonderful she was. Definitely keeping her in mind for future services. Thanks again Danielle!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I adopted my first dog in second grade. He was my responsibility and as I got older, I learned that I loved going for walks outside as much as my dog. Now that I'm older, I love taking friends' dogs for hikes in new locations. I have even managed to train one of my friend's reactive dog so she pulls on the leash less. I also briefly fostered animals when I was in graduate school. I am a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of hours to devote to your pet and look forward to enjoying plenty of summer outside time with your dog. I have walked a wide range of dogs, including a couple of reactive pit bull mixes. I have experienced triggering situations with dogs and know how to either handle them or avoid them.
“Elisangela is super nice and did a wonderful job caring for my cats. Even my very shy/scared cat came out to see her! I highly recommend her for any animal care you need.”
“Thank you, Jolene, for checking in on my two cats over a holiday weekend with a last minute booking! Jolene’s communication and timing was excellent. While checking on the cats, she filled their bowls, gave them treats, and brushed them. I appreciated her time and attention!”
“Booked super last minute due to unexpected emergency, and she was AMAZING! Went above and beyond to take care of my little babies, cannot recommend enough. So communicative and took such great care of them (even though they’re so shy)”
“Absolutely amazing 🤩 thank you so much for watching Myles and Fyodor while we were away. To name a few things we loved - the toys you shared to keep our kitties entertained,your attire, attitude, communication and pictures! :))”
“Tom is simply wonderful! He takes excellent care of my pups. He takes excellent pictures and describes their behavior to a tee. They are really funny descriptions and very much them. I would definitely recommend him.”
About: +9 Pet care experience includes hands-on tasks like feeding, walking, grooming, and administering medication, along with behavioral management and safety monitoring. Relevant experience ranges from volunteering at shelters to professional pet sitting, overnight care, and managing specialized needs for senior or anxious pets I work from home with a flexible active lifestyle. I am able to fit pet care easily into my life with how I manage everything. I have a big fenced in yard, I would treat the pet like one of my own and they would enjoy going out for hikes/walks

“Caroline was AMAZING!! She was completely attentive to my cat’s needs and personality, and it was clear from the great vids and photos she sent that our kitty was very happy in her care. ☺️ I will definitely book with her again!”
About: My family loves animals, especially dogs. We are dedicated to making your dog feel at home while you’re busy. We will always treat your dog with love, compassion and respect. I love puppies but they must be house trained. My wife and I both work from home. I am self employed so I make my own hours and that allows me to provide exceptional care to your dog. We have a 2 year old French bull dog who is very friendly and gets along well with other dogs.Because I am an animal lover and giving back is so important to me I WILL DONATE 5% of my earnings to The MSPCA! I have a fenced in yard and we live on a quiet dead end street. The park is 2 minutes from our home and we go there often to allow our dog to play.I never have more than 3 dogs in my house at once which allows me to give your dog my undivided attention and love. Your dog will always be safe, happy and very well cared for.

Jeanmarie is AMAZING! She was extremely caring and attentive to our two cats when we were away for a week. She communicates details about them at every visit and always sends great pics. One of our cats was stand-offish at 1st but by weeks end she had won her over! Jeanmarie is a true professional and we highly recommend her.
Jessica took great care of my 2 cats and 2 parakeets! I have pretty specific pet care instructions and Jessica followed them all meticulously which I really appreciated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was also great about communication and sending updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
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!
Trisha was fantastic and things couldn't have gone better! My cat, Wilma, is very skiddish. She took to Trisha on our 'getting to know you' visit. They say animals know and Wilma knew she was safe with Trisha. She communicated and shared pictures daily. That meant alot. I could tell Wilma was happy and calm in the pictures. Can't say enough good things about Trisha. She will be Wilma's caregiver whenever I go out of town!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,734 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
