“Ella is the sweetest cat-sitter around. I genuinely have never felt so comfortable leaving my cats ~ they are always so well cared for by her. They are so lucky to have Ella for extra time, snuggles, play, & thoughtful care. They can’t wait to see her again sometime.”
“Thank you, Marissa! This was our second time booking with Marissa and I continue to be very pleased with her communication and care for our pup. She is very polite and responsible. I’m certain we will book with her again the future.”
About: I am very new to pet care, but have loved animals since I was little. I will always be sure to handle your pets with care, joy, and respect. Thank you! Currently I’m working a seasonal job that will end October 16. After this, I will be free on weekdays and weekends. I’m very excited to meet your pets! I do not offer house sitting at my home due to my apartment building being a pet free zone. But I do offer pet play dates, dog walking, and house-sitting at your residence. I will always make sure your pets are feed, had their potty breaks, and have had their walks!
“Anna was great with my cats! She’s clearly a very reliable and trustworthy sitter and I’m glad we found her. She was also able to accommodate us when a last-minute travel delay changed our plans, which is so appreciated!”
“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: 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’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.
About: My best friend is my dog Lilly!!

“We are so thankful to have found Mallory to care for our two, 8 month old cats! We've had a number of health issues with both of them since adoption which has required us to be close to home and forgo any overnight trips out of town including over the Holidays. We decided to take a chance with finding someone to care for them during a 3 day trip over the kids Feb vacation and chose Mallory based on her experience caring for sick kitties. She was so kind and thorough in learning what their needs were at our meet & greet that we were immediately assured that we were in good hands. During our trip she communicated with us at each visit regarding their feedings, digestive issues, and overall well being. She was patient with their needs and also spent extra time playing & cuddling with them which really put the kitties at ease. Upon returning it felt like we had only been out for the afternoon and it was obvious that the kitties had grown attached to her in the short time we were away. We feel like we've hit the jackpot in finding Mallory and will continue to utilize her gentle expertise not just for trips away but for wellness checks as well. We can't thank her enough and feel lucky that we now have someone to provide care above and beyond a neighbor popping in. Thank you Mallory!”
“Christine is awesome, and takes great care to adapt to the needs of the power she's caring for. This was my second time booking with her and would definitely do so again.”
About: Senior pets have a special place in my heart. I’ve had pets my whole life, growing up with two dogs, (A golden, named princess and a Vizsla, named Ruby Rose) and a handful of kitties whom I’ve loved till their 9th life. I am comfortable with administering medications, following specific diets, and attending to your pet’s unique quirks and specificities! I have dog-sat for friends and neighbors over the years, and I also pet sit on Trusted House Sitters I’m off work this summer, so pet care fits easily into my day! Mornings, afternoons, evenings, whatever works best for your pet’s routine. I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible: same feeding schedule, same walk times. I’m attentive to details like locking doors and gates, keeping food/water fresh, and watching for any signs of stress or illness. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own
“I needed someone suddenly for an unexpected outing. Heidi was fast responding and chatting about times and expectations. She came and visited my senior dog twice, sent pictures and did all i needed and kept me up to date. I appreciated the ease she made this and would absolutely contact Heidi again.”

Lucy was the first non-family member we’ve had watch Harper, and she completely put us at ease! Harper took to her immediately and was so much less stressed at the end of the day because of Lucy’s visits. She took lots of pictures and always provided a thorough update. She even helped Harper through an unexpected injury that occurred between visits. We would absolutely recommend Lucy and book with her again.
Alyssa took great care of my 5 month old kitten while I was away for a long weekend. She suggested a meet and greet and it was a great way for her to get used to my kitty and the apartment before my trip. She sent photos with each visit and kept me apprised of everything with Mona. Alyssa is a wonderful pet sitter and I’d book her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burlington is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $40 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burlington. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
