“Liz was incredible! Responsive, flexible and a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to give our pup extra attention today. Very reliable and cares a lot about animals.”
“Nicole took great care of our over anxious Aussie’s. Nicole is the first non family member who has provided care for them. Nicole kept me well informed of her visit and the dog’s reaction with her. We will definitely request more visits with Nicole.”
“As always, Dasha took great care of Midori while we were gone. She is great with everything. A small thing, but Dasha asked about the dishwasher on her first visit to see if we would be a good fit. Since then she always starts the dishwasher right before I get back so there are clean kitty dishes and spoons when I get home. Small details like that really make me know she takes good care of Midori while we are gone.”
“I highly recommend Kaetlyn for your pet sitting needs. She was respectful and patient with my dog who can have stranger danger. She was prompt with her visits and I felt that she really cared for my dog. I plan on hiring her again in the future! Thanks, Kaetlyn!”
“Aline does a tremendous job caring for our cat, who has more needs than most. Communication is always great and she is always very flexible. We are always happy to have Aline care for our cat!”
About: I have worked at veterinarians, pet stores, and animal shelters, with pets of all kinds. I love walkng, cuddling and hanging out with all dogs. I’m a stay at home mom on a farm. I love spending time with my animals and also have a Sniffspot so other dogs can enjoy our space. When your dog first gets here they can smell around all the new smells and then decide if they want to interact with the other animals or not. I supervise any interactions to keep everyone safe. All dogs are welcome to be inside or outside. We have 5 fully fenced acres.
“Sarah was phenomenal! She did an amazing job with her communication, check ins, and detailed updates! It was comforting to know my babies were taken care of! I would 1000% book with her again! Thank you, Sarah!”
“Shelby has been wonderful with our cat. We’re so glad we found her. She is very responsive and flexible, and she has gone the extra mile to help our kitty feel loved when we’re away. We’ll 100% be using her the next time we have a need.”
“Jordan was very attentive and showed real compassion for our pets. They really shined with the challenge that our four legged ones can present. Would recommend them to anyone.”
About: I have been blessed to have a life surrounded by family and friend dogs and cats. I love all furry friends! I have attached pictures of some of the ones surrounding my life today. I also love learning of animal behavior to improve how we can communicate. I take their comfort very seriously, animals deserve respect! :) My current work is flexible and I will try my best to see your buddy when our schedules work. My weekends are flexible as well! I will follow all the rules and steps required to make you and your pet feel safe and secure. I am flexible and agreeable to most tasks!
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, and I will love your pets as I loved mine. I had two dogs and two cats, and loved them with all of my heart. I love walks and exercise and will make sure that your pet will be healthy and happy. I am in a home with no other animals, and will make sure that your pet gets all of the attention he or she needs. Animals and pets are part of your family and should be treated as such! I've always believed that pets are angels that have been sent to support and love us, and that love should be returned back. I can not wait to meet your lovely pets! I am a grad student completing school mostly remotely. I will go into the university once a week, but have time and flexibility to care for pets as I am home often. I will make sure your pets are loved, fed, have plenty of water and feel safe and comfortable. Pets are family members, and deserve the best care.
About: I am someone who truly believes that pets are an important part of the family. I have cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines and needs over the years and have a background in health care. I am confident I can take excellent care of your pets and give them the fulfillment they need while you are away! I am available daily with no set schedule. I have made the difficult decision to leave the nursing profession after 20 years to do something that brings me joy. I will respect your home and the pet’s environment as if it were my own. I am comfortable being in any type of environment and will follow whatever schedule and routine you need me to in order to care for your baby the best way possible.
About: If you’re looking for a sitter who is genuinely comfortable with all animals, look no more! My name is Tabitha, and my background covers everything from raising children, ferrets, and dogs to volunteering with miniature horses and a variety of other animals. I’ve handled everything from high-energy to gentle giants, puppies, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish, and exotics. I love meeting new animals and I treat every furry visitor as if they were a part of our family. Your pup will receive plenty of love and attention, playtime, and structured care tailored to their specific routine! Why choose me? Diverse Experience: From puppies and senior dogs to unique farm and exotic animals, I’ve seen and loved them all. A Clean, Safe Environment: I am a meticulously neat person by nature, so our home is always kept clean, tidy, and safe for guest pets. Reliable Communication: You’ll get plenty of updates and photos so you know exactly how much fun your pup is having while you're away. I'm currently a stay at home parent who has fairly open availability for your pet needs! I'm sure we can work out a schedule that works for everyone. I own a fully fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play. My two dogs will be at my house so ideally, I watch your animals at your place or take them on a walk somewhere in the area.
About: I have experience working with different types of pets for 10 years. I started providing services when I worked at a veterinary clinic. I have provided services to different dog breeds and cats as well. I also provided services for some reptiles and a quail. I send updates every day and photos, unless otherwise advise not to. I make sure that your pet is treated how I want my pet to be treated. Pets are our family and should be treated as such by the people you entrust them to. Also able to pet sit small critters: guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, chinchillas, and turtles. I have experience with pet sitting and walking. I have walked plenty of different dog breeds, even ones that I require specialized walks. I pet sit in home and my home. I’ve owned pets throughout my life. I lost my own best friend, Chai Tea in 2023 to cancer. He meant the world to me. Now, I pet sit and try my best to make every pet feel loved. I treat my clients pets with the same respect I would treat my pet. I’ve had plenty of clients that appreciated the service I provided and love the photos I would send of their pet. I make sure that your pet is returned the same way you gave them to me. I make sure they’re well fed and bathed. If there are any Issues, I immediately communicate. My stepmom is a veterinarian, so any questions or concerns, I can directly address them to her if I cannot get a hold of the client in time.
About: After leaving the corporate world and starting my own small business many years ago- I found I had the time to watch and care for others furry friends and babies. A few years later- I welcomed my own fur baby- Winnie. She is my 3 year old female Maltese that loves to make new friends. She is sassy and full of energy. I have cared for all ages of dogs throughout the years and kept them on their at home routine per mom & dad's instructions-while having fun. I provide loving care and comfort while mom & dad are away and will send pictures and videos daily. Feeding, potty, walking, brushing, playing in my safe and fully fenced in backyard, medications administered (if needed) and most importantly helping make your baby feel loved and secure. I do require a kennel (you provide) for the safety of all for sleeping and rest time. I find most dogs find extreme comfort in a place they can call their own while away from home. I know how it feels to leave my Winnie Girl- the feeling of knowing my baby is in a safe and loving environment is so important to me and makes my heart feel good. I promise to make you (and them) feel the same. We can't wait to meet you! References by request. PS- I can take more than one dog at a time. I own a small business with extremely flexible hours. I am fully transparent and honest in my communication with you. When/If I need to be away- it is only for a few hours at most. I can assure you that your babies while in my care are in a secure and in a safe environment. I try my best to work with drop off and pick up times that work for everyone involved and can extend days if needed. My general rule with watching and caring for others fur babies is to follow your direction as close as possible, as I understand pets can feel insecure, lonely, sometimes sad when left in an unfamiliar place. I do my best to create an environment where they feel included, loved, safe and will communicate with you on suggestions for soothing your fur baby while you are away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Kayla did a great job again checking on my dog, even spent some time brushing out her 2nd shed of the season(I have a German shedder). My husband and I had a last minute opportunity to do an all day hike and requested the day before leaving if Kayla could do a drop in to let our dog out and play with her a bit. Kayla responded right away and fortunately was available allowing us to plan a last minute trip to the mountains to see the fall foliage😊

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
