“Ross and Sarah were absolutely amazing! I am blown away with how much time and care they put in to caring for my sweet special boy. They were so understanding of his quirks and they communicated clearly on how he was doing and what they were doing to help him be happy and comfortable. They sent many pictures and videos daily so I can see just how happy and how much fun he was having. Their patience, adaptability, and knowledge was everything to make me feel comfortable knowing my boy was in good hands. I couldn't give higher praise and will be happy to recommend them and ask them to watch my dog again in the future.”
“Scott and Ellen did an excellent job making sure Harold got enough excercise and taking care of him. They are very experienced dog sitters and seemed very prepared when I brought my dog over to their house. I enjoyed the pictures they sent, my dog looked like he had a good time with them. I would definitely have them watch him again!”
“From the minute Sunshine walked into Danielle’s home she was greeted with love. I was so happy to see how she immediately took to this new environment. She had that “this is gong to be fun” wag to her tail and expression on her cute face. Danielle provided pictures and Sunshine was full of Sunshine.”
“I can barely begin to describe the amazingness that is Zydae. From our very first message, I knew that she had an incredible gift, and that my senior dog Kuma would be in perfect hands. I had a week long trip planned, and Zydae was accommodating from the very start. She sent loads of sweet pictures, and Kuma immediately made himself at home with her other fur friends. I was so happy and relieved that he was having such a great time, and a little worried he may forget about me!! I came home to an incredibly happy old hound, who basically got a week long retreat at a resort! I couldn't give a higher recommendation, and look forward to working with Zydae the next time I need a sitter. THANK YOU for being the perfect sitter Zydae!!”
“Lauren is absolutely amazing! She graciously accommodated an extremely last minute week-long booking for my Asher. Communication was excellent, with pictures! It was so reassuring to know that she has a fenced in backyard, which Asher enjoyed. I definitely recommend her and would be honored for Lauren to take care of my pup again! Thank you, Lauren!”
“Grace is the best dog sitter! She loves on Baru as if he was her own dog. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with someone. He gets to play and cuddle and is always happy to be with her.”
“This was my first time letting my dog spend the night with anyone so I was really nervous! Sarah kept me updated on his eating habits and behavior and this put me at ease. I really appreciate the addional care and kindness for my little guy!!”
“My dog Dakota loved staying with Tami! I was in town for the weekend for a family visit and I couldn’t keep Dakota with me during the time, but I still wanted her close to me. Tami texted me with updates and pictures every day and I could tell my dog was safe and comfortable with her. She did a really good job working with my dog and did everything to make Dakota feel at home. Will definitely use her in the future if I bring Dakota back and would highly recommend!”
“Evil and Fritz were terrific! They were very understanding of our dog’s behavior and needs. They sent photos and messages regularly. Ziggy looked so well cared for and content with them. I’m so glad we found such good caregivers.”
“Tara takes great care of Brandy and sends pictures and/or videos that keeps us in touch with our pup. Brandy always looks so comfortable with Tara and Kevin, and their two dogs get along well with Brandy. We use Tara regularly and travel without worries!”
“Britteny was great and Fiona loved her stay. I couldn't of asked for a better experience. Britteny made it feel like a second home for Fiona and updated me daily with pics and texts.”
“Our pups spent another weekend with Amy and Alex -- I kind of felt bad picking them up because I know they are so happy there! Trust both of them fully with our boys :-)”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am a lifelong pet owner who truly understands that pets are family. I have owned both dogs and cats for most of my life and currently have two Basset Hounds, Cooper (10) and Charlie (5), giving me firsthand experience caring for dogs at different life stages. Because Cooper is a senior dog, I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets receive the individualized care they deserve. I also have experience caring for pets for friends and family, so I understand the importance of communication and providing regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they're away. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and patient. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to care for your pet the same way I care for my own, with kindness, care, and lots of love. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM that allows me to check on pets, provide potty breaks, walks, feedings, or companionship during the day. After work, I am available in the evenings to provide additional care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I currently care for my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, and understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine. I am committed to making sure pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while their owners are away. In my home, my two Basset Hounds, Cooper and Charlie, have access to our fenced backyard through a doggy door, allowing them to go outside as needed throughout the day. They have a consistent routine that includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or potty breaks, cleaning up after them, administering basic care as instructed, and spending quality time with them. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their routine remains consistent, and I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect that I give my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
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.
I am so thankful for Zydae's care of my Maxi. Honestly, I was pretty nervous at first, because Maxi is usually taken care of by someone else, but this time, I was trying someone new. I was especially interested because of her proximity to where I now live. I am SO GLAD that I took the chance. Zydae took care of Maxi so well. She noticed and reported things about her, and provided wonderful suggestions that would help with her care. Maxi had other dogs to play with, and a little human as well, in a great, spacious area. I am so thankful to have found Zydae--she will see Maxi again! Dr. Janine Scott MD FAAFP
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Burlington on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 737 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Burlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Burlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
