“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!”

“Thanks for being so thorough and thoughtful with our cats and our home, we really appreciate it! It really allowed us to relax and not give it a second thought knowing everything was being taken care of while we were away.”

About: I grew up in a house full of big dogs, and have cared for small dogs as well for pets of all shapes and sizes for family, friends, and coworkers. I am a dog mom for a sweet girl I’ve had since October 2022, when she was 8 weeks old. I work a 9-5 but am available to spend meaningful time with your beloved pet before I leave for work, and will be so happy to come home to your furry friend after a day in the human world. It’s your home and your rules that your pup knows and follows already. I think their routine is important to keep to, so what you do I will try my best to do. If they sleep in bed, then I’m all in for cuddles, if they’re kennel trained then I respect the decision to give them their space to relax and decompress.

I have respect and care for those willing to let me help with their fur babies.

I’m attentive, responsible, and stick closely to routines to help your pet feel at ease. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

I have a very flexible schedule and don’t spend much time away, so your pet won’t be left alone. Honestly, I’m pretty much a homebody, so your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and a calm environment throughout the day. Because I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on things, stick to routines, and make sure your pet is always comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, quiet, non-smoking home with a fully fenced-in yard and no other pets, creating a calm and secure environment.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid of multiple breeds. I have learned that the best way to care for a pet is to make sure they are happy, healthy, and loved! I’m currently working from home and spend most of my time at home with my dog Rocco! My schedule is very flexible so I get to take my dog out often and would love the opportunity to spend time with even more pups and cats. I have a fenced yard, a cage, and I keep a close eye on the pets that I am caring for. I treat every pet as if it’s my own and make sure they have water at all times and access to bathroom as needed.
“Madison was super responsive, she was flexible when we asked her to come at an extra time, she was great with the instructions I gave and my pups seemed to love her every time she came ! I highly recommend booking her and I’ll definitely rebook in the future 🤗”

“We are so thankful we found Harry and Kerri to take care of our dog Harry! He’s quirky and takes a while to warm up to new people but Kerri and Harry have always respected his boundaries and taken great care of him. He hates being boarded so they did a bunch of drop ins for us while we were away and spent extra time with him. We couldn’t appreciate them more!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve had pets my whole life and started pet sitting for friends and family at a young age. I naturally connect with animals and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I am actively job searching, but I prioritize the pets I’m caring for and keep my availability up to date. treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal care and behavior. I have experience with large breeds including German Shepherds and Huskies, chocolate labs and small breeds as well so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and long walks. I understand how important pets are to a family and will treat your pet like my own while providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I work Monday- Friday from home so your baby will almost never be alone while staying over. My morning normally begins around 6a.m. With my day ending around midnight. I have a large fenced in yard perfect for catching some sun rays and getting the zombies out. I do have two dogs to keep your furry baby comfy. However if you would like them to be separated I can keep them separated on different floors in my home.

About: What truly sets me apart is my professional background. As a special education teacher with seven years of experience in the classroom, patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are woven into everything I do. I bring that exact same mindset to pet care. I understand that every animal learns and communicates differently, and I excel at reading body language and adjusting my approach to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable. Alongside having pets my entire life, I have spent the last 8 years providing dedicated pet care for family members and neighbors. Because of my teaching background, I am highly reliable when it comes to maintaining strict daily routines. This makes me particularly well-equipped to handle the unique needs of different life stages: Senior Care: I am incredibly patient and comfortable maintaining the slow, gentle pacing and strict medication or dietary schedules that senior pets often require to thrive in their golden years. Puppy Care & Training: I thrive on consistency and positive reinforcement. I am highly capable of maintaining the firm but gentle boundaries, frequent potty breaks, and structured play that young pets need while they are still learning their manners. Whether your pet needs quiet, gentle companionship or structured, engaging play, I have the experience, reliability, and heart to provide care that is perfectly tailored to them. I believe in complete transparency regarding my schedule so you know exactly when your pet is receiving my undivided attention: Summer Hours (Now – August): I am currently working a shorter schedule and am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime every day after 1:30 PM. Fall Hours (Starting in September): I will be working my regular full-time schedule until 4:00 PM. However, my evenings will be completely open and dedicated to after-work walks, dinner routines, and evening companionship! I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the highest level of care! I know firsthand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same affection and attentiveness I give my own. My Experience I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, intuitive understanding of the daily care, patience, and affection animals require. For the past 8 years, I have been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and extended family. This hands-on experience has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, respect established household rules, and quickly recognize when a pet might be feeling anxious. As a special education teacher, patience, compassion, and structure are at the core of who I am—and I bring those same qualities into how I care for your pets.

About: I have had dogs my entire life; mainly German shepherds. In my adult life, I have rescued Pitbulls. I am capable of feeding, letting out/walking, playing with, sitting, and giving medicine to, if necessary. I learned to give fluids through IV under the skin to one of my pitbulls who was in kidney failure at the end of her life a few years ago. I am currently working part-time, which I am planning on giving up once I have enough clientele so that I can do what I really love to do. I will come to your home and take care of your pet there so that they are as comfortable as possible with someone new in their surroundings.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them.

Since my senior pup can no longer enjoy long walks, I’d love to give your dog the exercise and adventure they deserve! Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
