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.
“I can’t recommend Jessica enough! She took care of my two cats for three weeks and did an amazing job. She was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats were clearly comfortable and well-cared for. Jessica is definitely at the top of my list for any future cat-sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Danielle took care of my cat for a few days while I was away. She was very professional, and she always responded to messages immediately. We met for a meet and greet, and she was very attentive to all of my instructions. She took great care of my cat, and followed all directions. She sent photo updates daily! Danielle did such a great job, that I have already booked her for another upcoming stay. I highly recommend Danielle! Thank you!”
“Tom was great! He came by our house per our request to meet us and our dog a few days prior to the appointment. He was very communicative and left us lots of pictures during his visit. Will definitely book again!”
“I highly recommend Elisangela! She took exceptional care of my cat while I was away. My cat gave lots of purrs and enjoyed her company. Elisangela was punctual, communicative, and genuinely cared about my cat's well-being. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Thank you, Elisangela!”
“Rilee was nothing short of exceptional in the care she gave our elderly cat. Rilee was kind and warm, easy to talk to, and truly cared. Our cat has a complex medication regimen that includes oral medication twice a day. Rilee handled this with confidence and was able to put our cat at ease and get all of his medications in. We highly recommend her!”
“Kathryne took excellent care of our 2 dogs and at last-minute notice! She was very responsive to messages and flexible when there was a slight schedule change. Would not hesitate to book again!”
“Rebecca was great with our bloodhound Abby even with the last minute addition of having to give her medications. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services!”
“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! :))”
“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!”
“Kerri is extremely flexible and wonderful with our pup. She is patient and kind. Our pup is the happiest to see her! She is definitely our go-to person to entrust our pup’s care !”
“James is the best!!! Very communicative, provides full run through of activities and behaviors during the visit. He is very loving to the dogs and takes lots of photos and videos! Will 100% book again.”
“Courtney is fantastic! Responsive, thorough and caring is what comes to mind. She visited our 11 year old tabby cat, Numbers while we were gone over the 4th of July holiday (we live in Bedford, MA). Following each visit, she would text me to let me know everything was okay at home. I also asked her to water our garden, which she happily did as well as collect our mail. Highly recommend Courtney and looking forward to using her when we travel again soon. I know our kitty is in great hands with her!”
“Fernanda was great! Responsible, responsive, and attentive to the specific needs of my little love bug. I highly recommend her and will request her for future needs. Thank you for providing such thoughtful and informed care!”
“Steven was great with our senior cat. He’s incredibly communicative, kind, and very obviously an animal lover. We knew our cat was in good hands while we were gone. I highly recommend him.”

Danielle was fantastic! I was surprised that on day 1 of her watching both of my cats for a 3 day check-in, they both came out to see her. She sent me pictures and updates every visit just as she said. She even washed their wet food dishes and I was not expecting that! Thank you, so much Danielle! I highly recommend her and will be a repeat customer of hers.
The best pet sitter I had for my cats. I had hired a few other pet sitters in the past but Jessica surpassed all of them and exceeded my expectations. The pictures and videos that she shared with me daily showed my cats were happy with her. What more does a pet parent need? Thanks Jessica! You were truly awesome 👏
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 10,656 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:
- 91% 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.
