Nicholas was a great caretaker for our 9 year old dog. He has a great backyard which our dog loved and a warm family environment. Nicholas was very flexible with us as our plans changed and he is extremely easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we are going to rebook.

Jyotidipta and his family took exceptional care of Luna. From the start, they were warm, flexible, and incredibly accommodating. Luna can be a bit anxious when meeting someone new, but they handled it with patience and care, making sure she felt safe and at ease within just a few hours. Their home environment is attentive and engaging. Jyotidipta’s son played a big role in keeping Luna active and happy, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and walks throughout the day. I especially appreciated the regular updates. The photos and videos gave me full peace of mind and showed just how much attention and affection she was receiving. It’s clear Luna was not just looked after, but genuinely cared for. I would confidently recommend Jyotidipta to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful caregiver.

Rosan did a wonderful job watching Kennedy. She is nervous in new places and it seems like she was calm as could be in their home. She had a great time playing with their dog Auggie and came back home tired and happy. Would definitely recommend!

John was amazing! Rover sitter extraordinaire. His place is perfect for active dogs and Walden got tons of ball throwing and activity time. John’s communication was great — clear info and support for pickup/drop off and fun pics throughout the stay. Thanks and we will be back in a future Burlington trip!

I always get nervous leaving Bert, especially with someone new, but Natalie and Pat (and Scarlette) made me feel so at ease. They showered Bert with love and sent me frequent pictures and updates. I knew he was well taken care of in their care. I will absolutely be bringing Bert back :) I can't thank you guys enough!

My dog and I were immediately comfortable with Michele. She went above and beyond to exercise Wilson and keep him entertained. I got multiple updates and he looks so happy. We recently lost our other best dog friend of 14 years it's such a relief to have a compassionate competent caretaker to help keep my Wilson 3 years old feeling attended to and not alone.

Ruchi and her husband are so wonderful during our dogs stay at their house. I was a bit nervous as I’ve never left our dogs with a sitter before and she was incredibly communicative and proactive. She sent us so many pictures which set us at ease and she was genuinely kind and lovely. Would recommend!

About: I’ve grown up caring for pets and currently have a dog and two cats back home, so I understand the daily responsibility and love they require. Having cared for an animal with a disease, I also know the importance of proper treatment and attention. I bring this same level of dedication to every pet I look after, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for on every walk. I’m currently a university student doing research this summer. I have free time in the afternoons and evenings! The weekends are also pretty available for me! I have quite a bit of time to play with your pup/kitty! I will give your pets speciality care! I am a calm and caring person and will make sure that your animal is in the best hands. In my home I ensure that my dog has ample walks each day because I understand how important physical activity is for animals, and I will devote the upmost attention to your pets as well!

Charlene took wonderful care of my 5 month old puppy while we were gone for a long weekend. She was happy to do the extra work a puppy sometimes requires, like giving her eye drops and softening her food with some pumpkin (that I provided). Our pup was safe and happy, and loved spending the weekend with Charlene and her dogs.

Hannah and her partner watched my dog in their home over the weekend. I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her; he settled right in to her calm home, enjoying the dog toys she had prepared. She handled his special medication needs and physical restrictions with ease, and I can tell he received lots of love and attention during his stay.

About: Hey! Im Skye! I’m a senior at the university of Vermont studying political science and history. I’ve had pets from gerbils to horses my entire life and have cared for pets with special needs, disabilities, and aggression. I would love to spend some quality time with your pup or kitty whether it be snuggling all day or going for a hike! My number one priority is your pet’s safety and well being. —— Open to boarding smaller or low energy dogs, must be okay with cat in house. My schedule varies, but I work from home most of the time. If im watching your pup it will be a day I work from home so I can give them attention throughout the day. If watching a pet in your home, I follow the provided instructions, while ensuring to keep everything clean and tidy. If boarding in my home, your pet is welcome to the entire apartment, when supervised, and will mostly hang out in the living room or my room. Pets are allowed on couches and beds. We do have a cat in the home that will ignore the dog as long as it is not aggressive towards her.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs nearly my entire life, and have served as one of the primary caretakers in my family for almost all of the dogs we’ve had. I’ve taken care of dogs of all types and ages from puppies to seniors and chihuahuas to huskies I work on a contract basis and have more free time than time I’m working. I often have full weeks off and can spend that whole time with your pets. I have a cozy apartment with plenty of space for a dog, big or small. I have room to put a crate or dog bed if needed. I’d also feel comfortable staying in your home if that’s what is best for you and your dog.

Our pup has separation anxiety and has a hard time connecting with other people, so when Stephanie sent a photo of our dog resting her head on Stephanie's leg, we instantly relaxed. We've never seen Molly that calm without us there -- or frankly, even when she's with us and we're visiting other people. Stephanie was perfectly responsive and a pleasure to work with, and we so appreciate her care and kindness.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Burlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Burlington on Rover is $49.45 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 165 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

96% of Burlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Burlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Burlington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Burlington.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Burlington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in VT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
