About: For the past 5+ years, I have been the go-to sitter for my sisters and friends, caring for pups of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s letting them out for playtime zoomies, keeping them fed and happy, or letting them out for scheduled potty breaks. I love making our furry family members feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I enjoy creating a fun, stress-free experience for your dog or cat, and love learning their routines, quirks, and comfort needs. I am always up for belly rubs, behind the ear scratches, fetch sessions, or just some nice quiet time cuddles - whichever they enjoy the most or all of the above. My family and I have always loved animals. We’ve had several cats, a Cocker-spaniel named Sam and an Akita named Bruno My most recent experiences thus far have been with Doodles, Labradors, Retrievers, an Alaskan Malamute, and an Australian Shepherd and my nieces 3 cats. I sincerely look forward to adding your furry family members and their type of breed to my resume as well. If you’re looking for someone reliable, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with your dog or cat, Please feel free to get in touch, I’d be thrilled to help care for them as if they were my own. Hi, currently I am not working at a traditional job so I am able to come and drop in to care for your dog or cat. I am excited to begin this new journey and be able to bring a service that would help fit anyone’s busy schedule. Since I am able to come to your home your pet will feel more relaxed and comfortable in their environment. The safety and well-being of your pet/s are paramount for me, any rules or restrictions you may have for them will always be respected and adhered to. I take the trust you place in me to care for your pet/s seriously, which is why they will always be treated with the utmost care and love.

“Morgan is a wonderful sitter. I hired her to watch my two stranger danger chihuahua mixes. It only took 10 minutes for them to warm up to her! (They are a good judge of character). She sent me lots of pics, her communication was excellent, and she was respectful of my home. I will be booking her again!! Thank you for your good care, Morgan!”

“Finding someone we can trust with our girls has always been the biggest reason we don’t travel much. But after working with Morgan, we’ve finally found that person! She was absolutely amazing with our Abby and Penny, treating them with so much love and care. We got daily updates and photos, which totally put us at ease. It felt like we were still connected to them even while we were away! When our flight got delayed, Morgan went above and beyond and stayed late to make sure the girls were fed and walked, which was a huge relief. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and who genuinely loves and will treat your fur babies as if they were her own, Morgan is your girl. We couldn’t be more grateful!”

About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Very flexible schedule. Grew up with dogs all of my life. I've cared for a variety of dogs.. from chihuahuas to Rottweilers. And any age. My dogs are very friendly, and could join for dog walks to make fur friends. I would love to help out with your pup, since we all have busy lives, and don't want them cooped up all day. I hope I can help out. I can do overnights, just would prefer dog walking and checking In. But we can discuss overnight stays if I work with you and your pup for a good amount of time. I can do drop bys frequently, since I have a flexible schedule. Thank you, and have a good day!

About: I’ve been around pets my whole childhood and my neighbors dog was twice my size and walking him was no issue. I’ve had cats my whole life and am somewhat of a whisperer. I’ve taken care of rodents as well when I had a pet rat. I am always available for any pet sitting needs. I currently don’t have a job or school lined up so I am all yours anytime of the week. I love playing with pets because it makes me feel like a kid and that’s really special. I can adapt to any process you might have to care for your pets. I am a kind and gentle soul for pets to warm up too. I have the stamina to keep up with energetic dogs aswell.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my friends and families. I have walked others energetic puppies and my own. I love trying to teach them new tricks and reward good behavior. I can give your pets their medicine or help with special instructions for their care. I have no problem cleaning up after them when they go to the bathroom. I am able to work any hours or days. There are a few times that I might need to go do somethings between care like errands. I have a fenced yard so I get to go outside with my dogs and play with them and I hope to do that with other dogs. I am very good with following directions for others animals.

About: I have been petsitting for as long as I can remember. I have watched dogs, cats, and lots of different exotic pets. I especially love sitting for rodents! I currently work full-time at a vet clinic, but I can stop by the houses on my lunch break or before/after work. I always check on pets at least three times a day. I can easily crate pets if needed, I always make sure water dishes are full and pets are let outside to go to the bathroom before I leave.

About: I am an experienced dog mom and dog whisperer. I have cared for all kinds of dogs small and large, young and old and special needs as well. I’m currently available full time for daytime and overnight (in your home) pet care. I use local beaches, parks and hiking trails for walking and sniff enrichments as well as fenced dog parks if your pup is amiable to that environment! I have a dog to keep yours company and play together. I walk them 3-4 times a day for enrichment and potty breaks. My pup enjoys rolling in the grass and watching for rabbits and squirrels.

About: Lover of pets! I’d love to meet your furry (or not so furry) friend. I’m very active, so long walks & even hikes are totally alright by me! I’m here to help you and your pet thrive. Whether that’s walking, playing, feeding, companionship, bathing , etc. I have been caring for pets since I was a youth. Whether that was neighborhood pets, friends pets or family pet. I have experience with a wide range of ages & sizes. I used to live out on a farm for several years and care for kittens, chickens, goats, pigs, and dogs. I helped take care of newborn kittens, feed and foster trust with them. Regularly cleaning the chicken coop, feeding them, collecting eggs and just hanging out with them. I would feed, brush and hang out with the goats also clean out pen. I raised a pig for 4H feeding, caring, and spending lots of quality time with him. And then of course dogs, I spent a good amount of years caring for two labs. Running them, washing them, cleaning up their dog house, feeding them. Snuggles and cuddles of course. I have notoriously always had an orange cat in my life; however living on the farm had about 6-7 cats I cared for. Them being farm cats mostly wanting to be fed and hung out with me in the grass or came by for pets. Neighborhood cats would get pregnant leading me to foster relationships with their kittens, a lot of times rescuing them, cleaning them up and bringing them back to wellness then re-homing them. Overall, I’d love to play & care for your pet as you see fit! Ideally I’d prefer a meet & greet prior to care. I have a very open and flexible schedule; morning's, afternoons and most evenings I should be around. My work schedule is currently evenings Sunday through Tuesday. I make sure pets are fed on time always have water and are let out whenever needed. I also make sure cat’s litter boxes are well maintained.

Amber took amazing care of both our dogs and our home while we were away for the weekend. Both pups acted like we had hardly been away when we returned, a sure sign that they had been well taken care of! Amber followed our (somewhat complex) feeding instructions for the dogs and gave them lots of love and play time. Will happily hire again and highly recommend for your next Rover booking!

Sabina did such a wonderful job house sitting for us and watching our two big dogs! One of them has a couple of quirks and requires multiple long walks a day and Sabina was able to accommodate that. She was super communicative and sent us pictures of the doggies every day so we could feel at ease during our trip! Our dogs seem very happy, and our house was spotless coming back home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Sabina!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Burlington is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $89 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 1,014 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Burlington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Burlington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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 .

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

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
