“Jahari helped us out last minute when we needed someone with an extra skillset to check in on our girl. We highly recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter and in particular anyone needing the extra layer of assurance a vet tech can provide. He is super kind and accommodating and we are glad to have found him!”
“This was my first time leaving my pets and Kim did a phenomenal job. She went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for and sent me plenty of updates and adorable pictures! I would highly recommend having her look after your pets.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for dogs and cats since I was young. I’m also a proud rescue parent, so I know how much our furry friends mean to us! I have some personal dog-training experience and am patient, attentive, and dependable. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I currently work full time so during the week I have early morning or night time availability after 5:30 pm. I have open availability on the weekends! I care for pets in their home by making them feel as if their pawrent(s) are still there. I will give them plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and extra love and belly rubs! I pay close attention to dietary restrictions, medication administration, and any other needs your pet may have.
About: For the past 10 years, I’ve taken care of not only my family dogs, but my neighbors’ cats and dogs. Most pets tend to take a liking to me from the start, which makes this less of a job and more of something that I enjoy doing. I’m currently working full-time 9-5 Mon-Fri so… House sitting: Strictly weekends starting Friday nights going into Sunday night Drop-in visits & Dog walking: Anytime after 5:30pm Mon-Fri & full availability on Sat and Sun Having previous work experience caring for animals allows me to truly understand the level of attention that needs to be given to your pets. I can ensure your pets’ safety and well-being in my presence, while also providing a mentally and physically stimulating time for them
“Miranda is very caring! I fully trust her caring for my puppies (3 and 6 month old puppies), she plays and interacts with them the whole time she is with them. Miranda provides very detailed reports”
“We had a short five day trip and Kimberly took care of our two girls. She communicated on a daily basis , sent photos , and videos of our babies. Kimberly is dependable did xtras like bring in mail and kept up areas where the girls stayed. She cuddled and loved them as if they were her own!! We could tell by there temperament when we returned home that they were well taken care of. We would recommend her and use her again for our pet sitting job. Thanks for a great job Kimberly !! ???❤️❤️”
“Ava did a great job with my senior Kitty. The communication was very good and she sent the cutest photos. She is reliable and also a veterinary student. This made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely book her again!🐾”
“David was extremely attentive and careful with our very senior and very frail dog, as well as our other giant goofball of a dog and cat. He was reliable, punctual and worked with us to create a schedule that worked for everyone. We appreciate his attention to detail and the google doc of instructions. No hesitation whatsoever in hiring him again and referring him to anyone we know.”
“Seana was so attentive to our shepherd while we were away on vacation. She made sure she was well taken care of and kept us at ease by sending many pictures of our girl looking happy and playing. We will certainly book Seana again in the future! She even cleaned our floors when it got dirty from our dog going in and out after it rained! She’s the best!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and keep pets happy and safe. I treat every dog as if they’re my own, with plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Available weekdays, weekends, and some evenings too for your pets. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for company. I can crate if needed, always ensuring a safe, loving environment for your pets.
“Thank you for everything you have done for your cats over the last year and a half, Julie! We have never been anything but completely satisfied with the gentle and loving care you provide for our cats when we travel. If we were not moving out of state, we would continue to use your services into the future. I highly recommend you and your services!”
“Kacey was very communicative and even came to meet Benson before the day so they could get familiar with one another! She was very patient with my shy kitty, but once he warmed up, she sent lots of loving and sweet pictures of him. My buddy puked and she cleaned it up for me and was very understanding the whole time, Kacey is fantastic and next time I got away I will definitely get ahold of her again!”
“Marissa has been wonderful caring for our two cats Chonk and Chowder! She is very reliable and updates you on her visits. This is our third year with Marissa and we feel very confident when she visits and know that our kitties are well taken care of! Thank you so much Marissa:)”
“Chris was wonderful with my cat Fenrys - he sent great updates daily, and went about making friends at Fenrys’s pace. I felt so secure leaving him in Chris’s care!”
“We highly recommend Mary Rose. We have a senior cat with hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disorder, and asthma, so getting his medication right is extremely important. She handled his care with no problems at all and followed his medical routine with confidence and precision. Our cat is also quite shy with new people, but she was able to build a connection with him. We received plenty of photos showing him enjoying petting and grooming time, which was very reassuring while we were away. She also provided detailed daily reports that truly put our minds at ease. It is clear she has both a deep love for animals and strong knowledge of their care. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
“Antoinette was amazing with my cats! She was great at following the instructions given and communicating with me. She also provided pictures and videos which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely recommend her and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: I have loved animals all my life. Since I was a young boy, I was raised around my family’s and my own cats, dogs, and all different kinds of pets. Dogs is my specialty, but I know what it takes to properly take care of and handle various different kinds of pets. I have my own beautiful dog, Ziya who is a 4 year old Belgian Malinois and Akita mix and I have had her since she was 8 weeks old. I personally trained her as well while I was in the military, which also gave me more knowledge on dog training and handling. I’m currently a full time student so I have more than enough time to pet sit. I am only unavailable on Tuesdays because I have my in-person class those days. I have my own home with a pet as well so I know what it takes to take care of the home and pets as well. I am very comfortable with other people pets and rules and boundaries with their animals, as I know ever animals deserves their respect and care they need.

Peggy is fantastic! Our large doggo is partially blind and on a special diet and needs a little extra love. Our fluff loves Peggy and enjoys her walks and actually eats her food when we are away. Peggy is my go to sitter when we have to travel and will always rebook with her!!

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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Burlington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
