Hazel was an absolute pleasure to book with. My two cats got along great with her! Hazel had quick responses and detailed updates while I was away. My cats were well taken care of; looking forward to booking again in the future

I have many thanks to give Felipe for how he cared for our pup. His communication was excellent, he was prompt, and truly seemed to enjoy spending time with our dog. I’m already planning to ask if he’s available for a few others dates this summer!

Daniel's been training Clea (and me) as well as walking her, he's attentive and kind and loving. She's a very sweet dog who means well and learns quickly, but she can get carried away - his presence in her life has made a big, calming difference. Thank you Daniel.

About: I love pets. Ever since I was little, playing with my pets and taking care of them gave me a sense of importance. To help do so for members of my community would be a great way to reconnect with the simple pleasures of quality pet time. I currently work full-time 4 days a week. The other three days of the week I have incredible flexibility. On the days that I do work, I can flexible in the mornings until 12, 12:30 latest. I will be unable to have pets at my own home due to landlord requests. But, I have ample experience walking dogs and ensuring they are properly supervised. I also am incredibly active and a strong individual, callable of heavy lifting and can mitigate any dragging from a leash.

Julie is fabulous! Super reliable and communicative, and our cat loves her. She has cat-sat for us multiple times and I always feel relaxed knowing that she will be looking after Moxie when we're not around.

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.

About: My experience with dogs spans from dog sitting to working at vet hospitals. I have owned large dogs since I was young this let to me sitting for neighbors and people around town. I have experience with dogs as young as 8 weeks old to seniors who needed a little extra care. My veterinary experience means that I can provide basic medical care if needed. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own! I am currently a college student looking for a way to work with animals while at school. I am fairly flexible with time as my classes are spread out which is conducive to visiting during the day as well as dog walking if needed. It also means I’m available on most weekends and open to staying at the house with your pet. I am looking to provide the best care to you and your pet! I make sure to be attentive to both the clients wants for their animals as well as learning the animals personality in order to provide the best care. I will also make sure to keep the clients home clean and abide to any household rules that they would like be to follow. Overall I am flexible and will make sure to listen to both human and animal wants.

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets of all kinds since a young age. I have the ability to take care of multiple pets at once, including my three dogs Oliver, Cullen, and Suga. My priority is to make sure every dog I sit is shown proper care, love, and happiness. I have a very open schedule this summer. I do like to have some of my weekends to myself so I am unable to spend nights on weekends. I have open availability and am excited to meet some furry friends! Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I exclusively provide care in clients' homes to help pets stay in their familiar environment. Whether it’s walks, feedings, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I follow your pet’s schedule and preferences closely.I always take time to learn each animal’s needs, from medications to favorite toys or hiding spots. I can also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away.Your home is treated with the same respect and care I’d give my own—clean, secure, and just how you left it.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. When I was younger I walked my neighbors dogs after school a few days a week. I am available almost every weekday and weekend this summer to take care of your pets! I am fairly flexible and can cater to your needs. Keeping your pets safe and entertained are my top priorities. Wether that is keeping them inside or in your yard or making sure they stay on leash when we are out on walks.

About: Hey there! I’m Emily and I’m excited to meet you and your adorable pet! I’m a lifelong animal lover. I have a friendly and outgoing husky mix and grew up with cats and a bird. Ever since I was ten, I would watch my friends and neighbors' animals when they went out of town or walked them when they couldn't. I am a teacher so I am gone during the day. I have a very active lifestyle and love hiking and running and I would love to bring your dog with me! I do live in an apartment but I am constantly outdoors. I walk my dog three times a day so you can expect that as well. She is very friendly and energized so you can expect a tired dog when you come to pick them up. I’ll show your dog the same love and care that I show my own so you and your pet will feel comfortable. Let me know if your dog has any behaviors or needs I need to account for so they will feel safe and comfortable. Please provide any care instructions for your pet or house during the meet and greet. Since I do have a dog your dog and mine must get along so I would love to have them meet to make sure everyone is happy!

About: My family has had dogs since I was 14. Out first dog was a German Shepard and second a German Shepard/Husky mix. Currently my Sheppard Husky mix resides in North Carolina staying with my mother as we were worried how he would do with a big move. I have always loved dogs and their companionship. It would be a privilege to take care of another’s fur baby. I currently have the sweetest little dachshound that I rescued in September of 2024 and we have been inseparable ever since, he is truly my child. I take my dog Beanie on longer walks about 2x a day and shorter ones through the day. I am mostly available on Fridays and weekends and after 5pm on Monday - Thursday My yard is not fenced in but there are many dog parks and safe places to play in my neighborhood. I love taking long walks and they are even better with a fiery companion.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for 5 years but always had dogs growing up that I would help take care of. I treat every dog that I care for like my own and aim to provide them with love, play, and extra pets while their owner is away. I have experience caring for older dogs and dogs with anxiety. Also happy to care for puppies. I’m trained in behavioral psychology and use learning theory techniques to help motivate good pup behavior. I’m currently working full time but happy to go on dog walks or sit on weekends. For the right dog, I’m also happy to dog sit mid week. You are the expert on your dog and their needs. I will happily follow any directions you provide for their care to make sure they are happy and comfortable.

We were in a pinch, needed a new dog walker as we just adopted our dog and I contacted 3 other people before Lacy. The last person canceled on me, but Lacy was able to help us at the last minute, and came a the day before to meet us. Our black lab mutt Aurora loved her. I’m happy to find someone who can help us out on occasion.

About: I have experience with small and large pups. I have good judgment in terms of where to safely walk a dog. I have a love for all animals and would be happy to walk yours. Feel free to message me with any questions. I have a mixed breed dog named Rudy. We go for walks on a daily basis. I am familiar with the area and would be happy to walk your dog. When I walk dogs I use caution at all times. I use sidewalks and crosswalks to ensure safety. I am cautious of other dogs out for a walk and know when it is safe to socialize.

Victoria was wonderful with my two dogs while we were away at wedding events for two days. My dog Ruby is a bit timid around new people, but Victoria won her over quickly with treats and affection. Victoria came by for an hour each day to feed and spend time with them, and she stayed the entire hour, which we deeply appreciated. She is reliable, caring, and highly recommended!

I reached out to Molly a few days prior to needing a dog walker last minute.Molly made time to do a quick meet up before taking care of Henry.Molly and Henry hit it off right away.Molly asked many questions to familiarize herself with Henry’s routine. During the drop in visit Molly reached out a few times to check in with things, even asking if I wanted the window closed because it was getting chilly .I would use Molly again to take care of Henry .

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Burlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 601 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burlington. On Rover:

  • 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
