About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family over the past 17 years, including overnight stays with me on weekends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime and following each dog’s normal routine. I’m dependable, attentive and genuinely love animals—and they tend to love me right back! I’ll treat your pup like family and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos while you’re away.
“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!🐾”
“This was the first time we did house visits for my two boys and Margret has been nothing but wonderful. She was always punctual and cared for my babies while I was away. She made sure to send pictures from every visit and my doggos loved playing / interacting with her. I would highly recommend Margret to care for y’all’s babies 🐾🐾 needs .”
About: Hi, my name is James and I am an active and energetic animal lover that has had dogs and cats my entire life. In addition to my own pets, my wife and I have fostered with local dog and cat rescues for the past 10 years. My love for animals doesn't stop there, I have worked in the zoological industry for the past 20 years. My first 15 years as a zookeeper and the last 5 as a zoo curator. If you have domestic farm animals or exotics of any kind, I am very comfortable caring for them. I have experience administering medications and specialized diets, as well as, giving injections as needed. If you are looking for someone with a wealth of experience in caring for animals, please reach out. I am working full time, but am still able to overnight, if needed. Otherwise, I am available for any morning and evening care that is wanted. I'd prefer not to take care of any pets in my home for the time being due to the fact that we have several fosters, as well as our own pets.
“Very reliable sitter! Whitney checked in on my dog at my house twice a day while I was away. She took good care of my dog and kept me informed with photos.”
About: I’ve have been taken care of animals since I was 12. I would pet sit for friends and family. I also have worked with a number of rescues and also in local shelters. I also was a vet technician. I love animals and love being able to give my clients the peace of mind that their pets are well loved when they are away or working. I have a fenced in yard with planty of room to play. I make sure each pet in my care feels loved and welcomed into my home like they are my own pets.
About: When I was 9 or 10, I had a beloved pet that we sadly had to give away due to a tough moving situation. Years later, we were lucky to bring Charlie home and Marvel, and they have been cherished members of our family for a few years. As a remote college student, I understand how important it is to find reliable help for your pets. I'm here for you and available to pet sit any day of the week or over the weekend. Your furry friends will be in good hands! I can walk your dog every 2-3 hours to ensure they get the exercise and attention they need. Additionally, I have a fenced yard with cameras for safety, where they can play. My own dog, Charlie, a friendly, neutered, vaccinated maltipoo, would love to have a companion to share some fun with! And Cocker spaniel named Marvel (he isn’t neutered yet due to age) who is also vaccinated.
“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 been a cat owner since I was 8 and proudly own 2 orange senior boys. I love animals, and frequently pet sit for neighbors and family friends. I do my best to stay educated on the most beneficial practices and products for pet care, and will always put a pet’s wellbeing first. I currently work as an amusement park performer, so if your pet would like to see any songs or dances, I’ve got you! I primarily work Friday-Saturday and weekday evenings, so I almost always have my mornings and afternoons available! My work hours change weekly, so I’m always happy to make an extra stop to check in on a pet, if my schedule allows! I always keep things neat and tidy, so I’ll thoroughly clean food and water bowls, pick up any poop, and scoop litter during all of my visits. I’m very thorough when making sure everything is taken care of, and I’ll even leave an extra treat or two to make sure your pet feels special! I absolutely love spending time with animals, so if your pet needs some playtime, I’m always happy to provide that as well. Whether I’m walking your dog or sitting for your pet(s), I’ll make sure they’re well-cared for, clean, and happy before I leave.
“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.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up caring for dogs of all ages and sizes.. from tiny puppies to beloved senior dogs, and everything in between. ❤️ Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every animal in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, a bath and some TLC, or simply a reliable friend to keep them company, I’d love to help! 🐶🐾 Your pets’ happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority. ❤️ I am currently a stay at home Mom so I am home daily, mostly all day. We enjoy taking walks and spending lots of time outside! We have pleanty of chew toys, balls, and frizbees!! I have a fenced in gass yard, lots of space to run around freely. Our animals are aloud on couches, so yours will be too!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, reliability, and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know their individual needs and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient with young pets who are still learning and gentle with senior pets who may need extra time, medication, or special accommodations. I communicate regularly with pet owners by providing updates and photos, so they have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the highest level of care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any medications they may need. I enjoy spending time with animals and make their comfort and well-being a priority. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, weekends, or regular check-ins throughout the day, I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care while maintaining each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets have fresh water, are fed on schedule, receive regular potty breaks, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I also administer medications if instructed, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and keep the environment clean, safe, and comfortable. I respect each client’s home by keeping it tidy, following all care instructions, and providing updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“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!”
“Grace was fantastic for quick dog-sitting and walking , Grace was incredibly reliable and arrived on time. The dog was clearly happy and comfortable upon return, which is the best outcome. would be booked with Grace again for future pet care needs." Thank you Grace”
“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”

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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
