“Even when it's been months since my little guy has seen Anna, she makes him feel immediately comfortable and loved. That makes me feel better about leaving him. She's super responsive and sends photos/videos while I'm gone. I appreciate having found someone I feel safe leaving my buddy with!”
“My elderly dachshund loved cuddling with them, and I loved getting personalized text updates and pictures during time apart from my darling boy. Would def choose Scott and Ellen again. :)”
“This was the 1st time we've left Hero with anyone while we went out of town, but when we had our initial meet and greet with Christy, I felt comfortable leaving him. Christy sent us pictures and we laughed because he looked right at home. I definitely will be using Christy again and will be recommending her! Thank you Christy”
“Kenan and Kayleigh were so amazing. This was the first ever time our pups stayed with someone other than family. They provided updates regularly and really worked to make sure our dogs were comfortable, despite one of them having major anxiety. Thank you so much for everything!!!”
“Grace was extremely prompt and accommodating when I made a very last minute request that my almost 1 year old Golden Retriever stay for the weekend. She sent pictures and I could tell when I picked him up that he was right at home with her dogs. Her home and fenced in yard were very nice and clean. I will definitely rebook.”
“I highly recommend Debbie. She was good to our anxious dog, Glitter. Our flight was delayed which resulted in an extra night of stay. Debbie was very accommodating in these unforeseen circumstances. We will definitely return to Debbie.”
“Alex was wonderful. Marvel seems so happy with him! He was a great communicator and offered me a lot of flexibility when my travel plans changed a little. Highly recommend and will be using him again next time I’m in town!”
“Wonderful!! Britteny and her family took great care of our great dane. I know she was treated like family while she was with them. Will definitely use her again to watch our babies!! ❤️”
“Candice is a wonderful, caring person who knows dogs well. Our Katie would have just as well have been happy to continue her stay in Candice's loving home as to come home with us. We are very glad we were able to find Candice through Rover.com.”
“Our Labradoodle Bella has a great time staying with Tina! We get lots of photos and other feedback while she is there, which is great! Bella gets to interact with Charlie, Tina's dog, and any other dog that may be staying, which is great socialization.”
“David was an excellent sitter! He watched my dog twice in about 4 weeks and I knew my dog had had a great first stay at David's house because she got excited when we pulled into his drivewayfor the second stay! He sent numerous updates and photos throughout both stays and was very accommodating about my dog'dog's raw diet. I highly recommend David as a dog sitter!”
“Although she only watched my dog for a short time, I feel that Jade‘s really took very good care of him. Almost as much as I would. She was very communicative and sent me pictures and always kept me up-to-date on how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again the next time I am in Durham.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my baby girls, updating me every step of the way. Will definitely be using her again next time I need a sitter in Greensboro!! ❤️”
About: Since the age of 10, I have cared for many animals, whether it be my own dog or a neighbors. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits and I am not opposed to caring for another animal! Since entering college, I have been dog-sitting for many families and I am comfortable with staying at houses. I am currently at college and have classes throughout the week. I am also a college athlete so I have training at varying times of the day. However, I will be able to stop by and check on your pet before and after, not leaving them alone for too long! When caring for pets at a client’s home, I prioritize safety by following any specific instructions provided by the pet owner, including feeding and walking routines as well as medication if needed. I never leave a pet unattended outside unless it is in a fully fenced area.
“Our dog Nethra had a wonderful time at Sharon's house. Sharon was extremely caring and it reflected in the videos that was sent to us since we could see how happy Nethra was. Thanks Sharon!”
“I could not possibly have chosen a better sitter for my dog! Ariel is so kind and caring and my dog was immediately at ease, even though she usually panics when I leave her. Absolutely would recommend :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Lakonka was absolutely amazing. I needed a sitter at the last minute and she took Cannon right in. She was so sweet and easy to work with. He was loved on so much and taken care of like one of their own. I got lots of updates and pictures. Cannon had the best time, he was ready to sleep when he got home!
Anna was awesome. First of all she was so accommodating to a change in schedule last minute. Lucy absolutely loves Anna. I received lots of photos and videos and updates on Lucy. This was her first time staying with someone so we were nervous. Anna will be my go to dog sitter from here on out!!!
David was amazing! Lucky enough, we were traveling and we put in the request for a sitter pretty late, David was so understanding and took the time to build rapport and sent photos of our fur baby while we were away for the day and kept us up to date by telling us even small details of how our dog was settling in. I could tell my dog fit right in with David and had no issues at all. Would absolutely recommend and book David again!
I had the pleasure of hiring Danielle to watch Harmony for the first time, and I couldn't be happier with her care. She took excellent care of Harmony, keeping her happy and comfortable. Danielle was very communicative, checking in with me throughout the stay and sending adorable pictures of Harmony. It was such a relief to know my senior dog was in good hands. I will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Janie and her fur babies are wonderful! Janie is so caring. Sent pictures of Brandi. I appreciate her doing that. We don’t get to travel much, but whenever we do, I will definitely check with Janie first, and hope that she will be available. Thanks to Janie and Rover! Kathy Erdman

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Burlington is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 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.
As of November 2026, there are 729 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Burlington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Burlington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Burlington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 94% 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.
You and your Burlington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
