“Hailey was amazing for taking care of our three dogs. She was with them for almost two weeks while we were traveling and she made the experience so easy. She’s very communicative and goes above and beyond. We have a lab with separation anxiety and it even included a vet trip for her. She was was so great throughout the whole experience. I will absolutely book with her anytime in the future!”
“Sarah was very responsive while watching our dog. She was there when she said she would be and was very respectful of our house! She made our trip away easier by knowing our dog was taken care of”
“Kayla did a fantastic job! I’ve never hired a pet sitter before, so I was really nervous about how my animals would do. She was very reassuring and sent me pictures and updates every day. She did fantastically with the dogs, especially my really anxious one. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dogs’ health. She let me know quickly when one of them inevitably puked from stress and made sure they were both happy and tired before leaving for the day.”
“Meredith was great! She met them a couple of times before we left, which really helped our older dog with anxiety. She connected so well with the pups. She kept us informed with pictures and videos, so we knew our pups were in good hands. She treated our home with care, too, which was appreciated. We would happily book with Meredith again!”
“Kendall was amazing with our babies! She kept them stimulated, and gave them plenty of snuggles! She kept us updated on everything! She made sure they were not home by themselves for too long. Would love to use her again!”
“Alyssa is so so so special!! She took care of my pups while I was traveling for work and it was a great experience for me and for them! She communicates very well and kept me updated about them, took great care of the house and when I came back, I could see how relax and happy my pups were, which means the world to me!”
“Adoni was wonderful as always. She is extraordinarily responsive and she follows through on specific requests. Plus, our pup girl loves her. Adoni is our "go to" sitter.”
“Mara was fabulous with Wags. She paid close attention to what he needed and how he was doing. Communication with her was easy from booking through the visit. Will definitely use her again.”
“Heidi was five minutes early for both the meet and greet and the actual house sitting booking. Finn had a great time with her, and I was very happy with how she cared for him. I received lots of updates and photos. We will not hesitate to book her again!”
“Alex was absolutely amazing, she let me know if anything was off with my dogs and helped me out when I had someone else cancel. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: For over seven years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for my facility’s owners dogs (jojo the goldendoodle, Nash the frenchie, and Finn their pitbull). More recently I’ve been trusted to care for my administrators pup as well! (Her name is milli(berniedoodle) and she just turned 1 years old!🙂 I’ve taught them all how to sit, shake and do nose boops if you ask them too!☺️ There’s also many of other friends I’ve taken care of along the way! Hooch (Blue Pitbull) Bodi (Pitbull) Nixie (tri-colored cat) Nina (Bernise Mountain dog) Jade (Maltese) I currently am working full-time but my schedule is flexible! Usually during the week I have 2-3 days that are short days for me and I get home early around 2-3pm. My pets at home run the whole house!😄 Every morning we get up to eat our breakfast and go outside for playtime/potty. Water is available in all rooms of our apartment! We are super pet friendly household, they can get on the beds and couches and we even have a special accessible dog bed for senior babies and/or babies who have any injuries. We live right beside a park that has a 3-4 acre dog park with plenty of space to run and play! Car rides and pup cups are always welcome and my work is super dog friendly so they can also be with me if necessary if separation anxiety is a problem!😄
“We were very happy we were able to book Daysi to watch our senior dog during our cruise. We get very anxious leaving her but knowing Daysi was there made us feel a lot better! She was very prompt with updates and photos and Smokey seemed as happy as can be when we were out of town!”
“Lauren was amazing. Our dog can be anxious around new people, but she felt comfortable with Lauren right away, which honestly gave us so much peace of mind. She sent thoughtful updates throughout the stay and it was clear Dee was happy and well cared for. She also left our house in great condition. We will absolutely use her again next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Erika was great. Lainey took right to her! Erika went over any beyond what was expected. I appreciated her taking Lainey to the park to explore new things. The house was just like we left it and she even did the towels. I appreciated her taking such good care and playing with Lainey while we were away. Will definitely be using her again. Fabulous dog/house sitter.”
“We had the absolute best experience with Viridianne looking after our cat while we were away for an extended period of time. Communication was above and beyond, which made us feel so comfortable being away from our cat. She’s dependable and obviously loves animals! We will definitely ask for her services in the future when we are away ☺️”
“Blanca was amazing! She was very attentive with my dogs and was very communicative with me! She was a lifesaver with a last minute cancellation and really put my mind at ease. My dogs loved her and she even worked on training while I was away. I am very appreciative for her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Devyn stayed at our home with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates everyday and kept us in the loop so I never had to worry. The house looked exactly the same as when we left, she was very tidy and respectful of our space. Followed all the instructions we gave her. I will 100% be reaching out again the next time we need a dog sitter.
Heidi did a great job taking care of our sweet boy and neurotic Great Dane! We don’t often spend more than a weekend away from our pups so going away for 6 nights was nerve wracking for us, but Heidi did a great job and we were able to relax by the second day because we knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $41.07 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 House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Burlington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Burlington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burlington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
