“Ashley took great care of our dog and cat! She was very attentive to their needs, provided great updates, and was very thorough with the care they received. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years! I am very good with fast,young, strong dogs! I enjoy watching dogs learn their environment on each walk a little bit more where they are 10 weeks or 10 years old! I love them all!! I am prioritizing your pets care and needs so I will make the time! I will communicate any unusual changes to my schedule in advance (I.E out of town weddings etc.) Trust means everything to me! I want you to trust me as well as your sweet pets to trust me as well!! I love building a natural report with them!!
“Ella was so incredibly communicative and thorough with visits with my cat :) would book again! No doubt she’s got the experience and heart for pet sitting. Couldn’t have asked for more.”
About: Hi!! I’m missing interacting with puppies in my life, and am really just wanting some more time with lovely little animals! Open to help out in any way! I work at a nursing home, and have Wednesdays and Fridays off. When I work, I’m there from 6:30-3. I can stop by before and after work, evenings and nights, or whenever you need! I don’t currently have any pets (sadly!) but absolutely adore all furry friends. I have experience taking care of my own cats and dogs, and recently helped a friend take care of a family friends dog for half a year.
“An incredible sitter! Me and my partner were nervous to leave our kitty for a week but Marissa made him so comfortable! Our kitty is normally really shy but he just loved Marissa. We came back to a very happy Cat and a clean litter box. Thank you Marissa for just a wonderful job!”
“Charlotte did a great job checking in on my cat Ash over a weekend. She provided frequent updates and communication was easy. Would definitely recommend her and will keep her in mind for the future!”
“So thankful I found Lianna! She goes above and beyond for drop in visits with my pup a couple times each week - not just making sure she gets dinner water and potty breaks, but taking time to reinforce good habits and work on some training with her. It’s so nice knowing she is in caring and thoughtful care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter that is responsible, punctual and genuinely cares!”
About: I've dog walked and overnight sitted for both cats and dogs for years, and have a pet-friendly home near downtown Burlington. I love animals and I'm looking forward to spending time with your pet :) I'm a college student living near downtown Burlington, with open availability on weekends, afternoon and evening availabilities M/W/F, and evening availabilities on T/Th. I'm also happy to care for pets in my own home or at my clients'. I care for every pet based on their individual needs, routine, and personality. In my home, pets will have a spacious, comfortable, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks and potty breaks. I don’t have a backyard, but I make sure pets get appropriate outdoor time and exercise based on their normal routine and energy level. When caring for pets in your home, I’m respectful of both your space and your pet’s established routine, following all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care need. I also prioritize safety, supervision, and communication, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable and updated while away!
About: I will devote my time to giving your beloved pet the best experience I can provide for them! I love both cats and dogs, and am always excited to meet new animals. I have worked for Camp Bow Wow for a year, and Paws and Unwind for 6 months. I have also been training dogs of and on for 10 years now. I love the chance to work and spend my days with new, happy dogs! It is one of the greatest enjoyments in my life! Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I live with my little brother in an apartment, we have 2 cats, and I devote my time to them and the care of the house. Your pet will fit right in for as long as they need to! I have an upstairs apartment, and sadly no yard, but I live right downtown, near multiple dog parks and trails, so your pup will have ample opportunities for exercise!
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.
“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.”
“This is the second time Zoe has watched my two cats and she does such a great job. Whenever I go on trips I know I’m leaving them in good hands in Zoe’s care. She always sends pictures and I come home to two well-fed and happy cats.”
About: I’ve had my own dogs all my life and have sat and walked pets professionally for around 2 years, so I am equipped with the skills necessary to keep pets safe and happy. I’ve had one-time clients or recurring clients — whatever the owner needs! I love pets and have always gotten along well when I meet a friend’s pet, hence my interest in expanding this passion. I am currently in medical school and my schedule is relatively flexible - I am able to walk your pets, drop in to make sure they’re okay, or stay with them all day! I generally have classes in the mornings and afternoons mostly off. I am available for walks or overnight stays depending on the pet parent’s request. I am happy to work with clients and figure out a schedule that works for them! I abide by all rules the owner set. I will inquire ahead of time of any special needs the pet has or certain routines from the owner. I am not there to intrude - just offer the same level of care and love as the dog would normally get! I also understand some pets may be anxious with a new person in the house, so I will do my best to ease into my position and offer a lot of comfort to the pets before trying to play with them or feed them.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience spans from handling playful puppies to providing tender care for senior pets from friends and family for over five years. I am free this July until August and otherwise I will be going to UVM this fall so my availability will vary based on my schedule. I’m not planning on taking any pets to my house since it is not pet safe. I will gladly though pet sit in your house.
“Kerstin was wonderful and took amazing care of my little guy! She was very informative and let me know what was happening the whole time while sending lots of pictures. I would recommend her to anyone! I will be reaching out to her again in the future”
About: I've had pets my entire life, and have been taking care of others' furry friends for over 6 years! I have fostered both puppies and kittens at home and provided dog-walking and petsitting services around the neighborhood. I have experience with a wide range of dogs, and can take care of puppies. I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is open this summer for dog-walking, petsitting, and drop-in visits! I am available on weekends, evenings Monday-Tuesday and after 10:00am Wednesday-Friday. I have a small yard that's great for play-time. I live in walking distance of several parks and trails perfect for walking, hiking, or swimming–whatever your animal needs!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Kristy was able to take a booking on short notice and made time for a meet and greet before supporting us with drop in visits to care for our cat. She always spent time beyond just feeding and care taking duties, spending time getting to know our fuzzy beast. We were very happy to work with her, and will rebook in the future if she is available.
We have three cats, one of which is a tiny old one-eyed man named Minion who is scared of everything and everybody. He only comes out at night or at dinner time. Charlotte not only saw our little guy, but got him to sit on the sofa next to her! If that's not an indication of her trustworthiness, I don't know what is. We've used Charlotte several times, most recently for a two week stretch. She updated us regularly with photos and notes. The cats were well fed and given plenty of attention. She even washed the towel in the laundry room when one of the cats had an accident! Definitely hiring her again and highly recommend her.
Felipe C. is the best. I haven't left town in 3 years due to having to provide medication to my senior cat twice/day. Finding Felipe was a god send. I will continue to use him and feel very confident that my cats are in good hands. I truly appreciated his daily notes and photos. Do not hesitate to connect w/Felipe and put your mind at ease.
Chrissy was a fantastic kitty sitter. She was kind, responsive, loving towards a lonely kitty and even went above and beyond watering plants, brining in mail and offering to get not kitty litter. What a gem! I could be more grateful for her service and will definitely use her again when we leave out kitty.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 629 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 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.
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.
