“Rachel was awesome! Gus was cared for and we received many updates to assure us that he was in good hands. Gus was happy and loved for an entire week!”

About: 30+ years experience taking care of pets since I was a child. Everything from dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, fish, ferrets, are in my wheelhouse! medications, injections, or any other special needs or diets can be accommodated. I have a flexible schedule, so taking care of pets fits nicely into my day and routine. I love taking walks and spending time playing with pets of all shapes and sizes. I have pet friendly neighbors with an unfenced yard and secure entry. I take several walks everyday. I live near parks and the river, making strolls enjoyable for all.
About: I have had pets for my entire life including my sweet Lola. Feel free to ask for pictures! I have been the pet sitter for friends and family for a couple years, and I have had experience with both cats and dogs. I would be very excited to take care of your loved ones! I am a college student on summer break, so my schedule is super flexible. I am available on weekends and weekdays, so if you need services during the work week I can cover that. I have a fenced-in yard and pet care supplies at home, and am great at learning your home setup and working with pets in their favorite environments!
“We’re so grateful for the excellent care Jess provided to our dog, the photos and updates while we were away, and her thoughtful attention to detail. Highly recommend, and hope to have her back again!”

“Eliza was an amazing sitter for our elderly dog, cat, and rabbit! I can't imagine a better choice - her loving care and attention to detail made us feel so much better leaving them. She went above and beyond dealing with muscle aches in our dog, applying heat and ice. Great communication with lots of updates, photos and videos. I highly recommend Eliza!”


About: Hi, I’m Marci, and I’m your dog’s second best friend! I'm a licensed massage therapist for people, horses and dogs. I'm very intuitive, nurturing and compassionate, and I have been a dog owner for the past 20 years. I work from home part time so I'm home every day, which means I can hang out with your dog all day! I love just about everything about dogs, from the way they curiously sniff the air during walks, to when they eagerly nudge my hand for a pet or massage. I treat all animals like family, and make sure they have what they need and want. If you leave your dog with me, you can rest assured they will be pampered with plenty of love, affection, and patience. I also know canine CPR and have basic medical skills. My goal is to provide a safe, trusted and loving environment for your pet so you wont have to worry while you're away. For additional peace of mind all dogs in our care will wear a GPS collar that can be tracked at all times. I truly feel that dogs are like people -- they are each unique and special in their own way! I would love to know what makes your dog different and unique, down to those hidden quirks and personality traits. Dogs bring out the best in me: my compassion, empathy, love, and encouragement all improve when I spend time with furry friends of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I promise to shower your dog with all these things, and more! If your dog loves the outdoors, exploration, and long walks, then I’m the right sitter for your! I love to hike and horseback ride on my horse. I love to take my dogs to new places and introduce them to new experiences. One of my favorite seasons is summer, just because I can spend more time outside. However, the cold fall and winter weather means I get to snuggle up with your dog indoors -- either way, it’s a win! In addition to dogs, I have experience with horses, cats, gerbils, rats, hamsters, and birds. I am here to make whatever pet you have feel comfortable, but you’re my client, too! Let me know what you need to feel comfortable leaving your pet with me, including how many updates you would like. I’d love to meet you and your pet, so please contact me to set up a Meet and Greet. I’m sure we’ll be fast friends in no time.
“Ryleigh took such great care of Ruby and was great about sending multiple pictures every day while I was gone. This is the second I’ve worked with Ryleigh and I’ll definitely have her stay with Ruby again in the future.”


About: I have loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for a variety of pets including dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and fish. Recently, I have been volunteering at the PIMA animal shelter, taking dogs out for the day! I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since middle school, which has given me lots of hands-on experience with different pet personalities and needs. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care so they feel happy and relaxed. I also have a very cute dog of my own named Larry, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families! I’m currently a student at the University of Arizona majoring in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences with a minor in Business. Being responsible, attentive, and caring are very important to me, and I bring those qualities into every pet sitting job. Because I attend school in Tucson, I’m unfortunately not able to pet sit on a weekly basis. However, I frequently come home during school breaks and holidays, and I would love to spend that time helping care for your pets! During my time at home, I’m available and happy to provide attentive, reliable care. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, and pet sitting is a great way for me to do something I love while I’m back in town. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all routines and instructions closely so your pet feels secure and stays on their normal schedule. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect and keep a clean, safe environment for pets. I’m attentive to details like keeping doors and gates secure, making sure pets are supervised, and ensuring they are happy and comfortable while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I always try to provide patient, loving care so they feel relaxed and well cared for.

“Christina was very great with our anxious pup. She was very attentive and was quick to get our dog very comfortable with her. She even used a few techniques to calm her down when needed.”


“Brianna made us feel so comfortable leaving our home and pup in her care while we were away for the weekend. She provided updates on how things were going and took excellent care of everything. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I have been taking care of my own dog and my friends dog for more than 4 years, I love walking around with pups and also taking dogs to hike and swim. I am now taking a break from my current IT job and have plenty of time every day to play with your 4 legs baby. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly and playful border collie dog her name is Bella to keep your dog’s company and to play with.
“Deborah did an awesome job with our little mini dashund for a 5 day trip. She was appropriately communicative so we didn't have to worry about our little dude and he was very well cared for, as was the house!”

“Kali took great care of our girls over the weekend and made us feel at ease. She was communicative, sent daily updates, and clearly enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to happy pups and a well-kept home.”

“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”


About: I've been caring for dogs for over 10 years and currently have two family dogs. I help with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure they are happy and safe. Growing up with my dogs has taught me how to be responsible and attentive! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I already enjoy walking and being outside, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and lifestyle Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of following routines, providing exercise, and making sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. I will carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, walks, or special needs and provide regular updates!
About: I have had a variety of dog breeds my whole life. Mostly rescues across all ages. I have puppy experience as well as senior dog experience. Additionally I have done elder and developmental disability care for people. I believe in honesty, empathy, and compassion for those under my care. I am pursuing a Masters in Social Work and have an internship part time 3x per week (both remote work) , so I would like to fill the rest of my time to support myself financially ❤️ *no school/ internship until August 2026* I am very attentive and keep a close eye on pets at all times. I try and service my clients by appealing to their needs and sensibilities and not my own. Having worked as a caregiver for people with dementia and adults with developmental disabilities has prepared me to be alert and aware at all times.
“We feel such at ease when Renata is watching our little guys. We know they’re happy and well taken care of. She left our place nicer than we left it. Always appreciate her care attention and communication. Thanks again :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,525 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.
