About: Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a dependable and caring pet lover with experience caring for animals of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, whether that means active playtime, walks, or a calm and relaxed environment. I have a clean, quiet, non-smoking home with a fully fenced-in yard and no other pets, so your pet will have a safe, comfortable space and my full attention. 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’d love to care for your furry companion. I work from home part-time, which means I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent attention, supervision, and care for your pet. 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. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any specific instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I had a multiple dogs growing up, one who is 11 years old now, and also just became a new Fur Mom to an 8 month old golden retriever (who has put me through the wringer so far). I am an animal lover and just want to be helpful since I use rover myself for sitters, and i figured I’d be just as helpful as the many sitters on here have been for me!! I work full time but that is just 3 days a week, so any other day I am available most of the day to accommodate your fur babies! My schedule does change every week though I live in an apartment complex but have access to a dog park within the complex and will be able to take your pups to local dog parks as well
About: With over 20 years of experience, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been around dogs since I was 7 years old, starting with family pets and eventually helping neighbors with their dogs throughout middle school and into adulthood. Even today, I still help friends and neighbors care for their dogs and cats regularly. I also had the opportunity to care for my own cat for 4 years, which gave me a strong understanding of feline personalities, routines, and comfort needs as well. After taking some time away in 2025 from Rover due to family circumstances, I’m excited to be back in 2026 doing something I genuinely enjoy, providing pets with a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel at home. I currently work Full-Time from home - So I am always present, and able to keep your pet on a nice schedule regarding food, play-time, and potty breaks. I'm available Monday-Sunday anytime that works best for you My home features a downstairs area where pets can roam freely. Also my development offers plenty of walking space. Plus, there are many parks nearby that provide a great spot for your pets to enjoy some running time with my family and me.
“After just one visit, Uni already loves Elley! She’s amazing and treats my fur baby with so much care. We’re both so happy we found her. Highly recommend Elley to anyone looking for loving pet care!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was a kid. Grew up with several different pets in the home. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles you name it! I’ve also fostered and done pet sitting over the years so have experience with animals of all ages and ones that may need some extra loving or medical needs. I am currently working 3 days and week with long weekends available for pet sitting, drop ins, and walks. I have an extra crate if needed. Friday-Monday I am home to spend all the time with your pet! I currently have one dog in the home. He is a very LARGE dog (Great Dane) but very gentle and friendly to all pets and people he meets. I am home all day from Friday-Monday to give you pet all the attention they need. Small fenced in yard and take walks regularly. All pets will be treated with love to make them feel as comfortable as possible while their pet parents are away.
“Catharine was agreeable to coming over to let our dog out and play with her with one day's notice! We appreciate her willingness as well as her promptness!”
“Jimi was super communicative and prompt. Our dogs loved him! He did a great job with our drop in request and we are looking forward to utilizing him again in the future!”
“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”
“Shannon was very responsible and attentive to our two cats. She followed our instructions for their routine, regularly played with them and gave them treats. She even brought packages and mail into the house. It was great to have her pet sit and hope we can arrange with her again on our next trip.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and bunnies since I was younger. I currently have two bunnies of my own. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets, walk them, play with them, etc. Pet lover at heart. I do work from home mostly so I can work around my schedule. I currently work from home 8-4, so I have relatively open availability for all of your needs. My schedule fluctuates week to week based on meetings, etc. Open to walks and drop in visits as long as my schedule allows. I currently have two pet rabbits that are in a gated area. I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate your pet if needed. My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park and lots of areas for walking.
About: I am a pet-loving owner of a friendly chocolate lab puppy. When I was younger, I would care for my neighbors’ pets for them overnight whenever they went in vacation. I’m currently full-time, but I’m always looking to make extra money on the side whenever I can. I can see myself Rovering for people each day after work. I am not offering services in my own home, but as far as caring for pets in other people’s homes, I am trusted by the people around me in my life as far as safety goes. In the past, my neighbors would give me access to their security system to ensure their pets’ safety. I am also extremely loving of any dog I come across.
About: I’ve grown up with a dog since I was born. I’ve walked, bathed, brushed, and cared for so many furry friends. I love my dog with all my heart she’s my child. I’ll love yours the same. Pet care is a big part of my day to day. I walk my girly multiple times a day so I don’t mind helping others. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I would be available. Showing affection and love first is important. I want to let them come to me when I first meet them so they are comfortable. Making sure their basic needs are met. Potty, food, lots of love. check, check, check.
“Miranda did a great job watching over my two cats, Ninja and Scraps while I was away on vacation. I definitely would recommend her and will be using her again in the future! She left great notes and made me feel at ease while I was away. 😁 Thank you. This was the first time I have used Rover and it was a great experience. Miranda also help me understand how to use the app since I made some silly mistakes.”
About: I love animals, I've had them my whole life since around 8 years old. I mainly have experience with cats, dogs, and hamsters. In the past I volunteered for 2 years at the Animal Welfare Association. I worked with cats and small animals such as bunnies and guinea pigs. I can feed/give water to your pets, walk/play with them, clean up waste, give medication, as well as share photos or videos throughout the day! I can also do extra chores like bring in your mail or take out your trash/recycling as well for a small fee. If you have a pet that I don't have much experience with, just give me some instructions and I promise I'll do my best. I treat every pet like my own, so your pets are safe in my care! In my personal schedule, my parents and I take care of our dog and cat. My parents feed the pets in the morning, and I let the dog out for the bathroom daily. I feed both pets at the same time nightly. I am also the main one who cleans the cats litter box. I would prefer to be given instructions on what your pet needs, so it's less stressful on both me and your pet. I will do whatever is needed to care for your pet to the best of my abilities.
“Davene has been a fantastic sitter for my puppy. While he is still a little timid and learning to be around other people who aren’t me, her updates to me show that he has warmed up to her, which shows that she truly cares for the pets she looks after.”

Daniel did ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! He was so attentive & kept me updated throughout the week. I was so worried as this was the first time I’ve left my dogs for more than a night and he made me feel totally at ease. My dogs also adored him. Would definitely rebook!!
Suzie was amazing! Great communication while booking and during visits. I had a cancellation last minute and she stepped in and made this whole process so easy asking all the right questions to make sure she cared for my pup the same way I would. Highly recommend 10/10

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 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.

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 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.
