“Mila (German shepherd) loves going to Scott’s home. When I dropped her off, she was so excited to be there. Scott does a great job providing pictures and updates throughout the stay. I appreciate having a safe place for Mila to go while I’m out of town.”

I appreciate you loving my little guy like family.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have two Golden Retrievers of my own, Ranger and River! I’ve always loved being around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I only work part time and my job is just two minutes from home, so I’m home a lot throughout the week and can easily come home whenever needed. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching your pets, and I’ll treat them just like my own! I’m also happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away! I work very close to home and I have a very flexible job so I can be around whenever needed. I can work around their feeding schedules, potty breaks, and whatever routine they’re used to! I have 2 very friendly golden retrievers who would love to have another dog to play with. I have a spare bedroom too if a dog would need its own space. Both my dogs are pretty hyper so another hyper dog would do best with them. Otherwise I could separate them if a dog would do better with quiet.
“This was my first time using Carla to watch my 80 lb, 1 year old golden retriever, Luke. I chose Carla because of all the fantastic reviews she has received, and they are all well-earned. She lives up to the hype. She took great care of Luke and frequently sent us videos and pictures of him getting along with the other dogs. For Luke, it was a 72 hour play date. We have some other trips planned this year and Luke will definitely be staying with Carla.”
“Nina has stayed with her twice now, and both experiences have been absolutely wonderful. She treats Nina with so much love, patience, and care that I always have complete peace of mind while I’m away. I always receive updates and photos, and it is clear that Nina is happy, safe, and loved. Seeing how comfortable and relaxed Nina is with her means everything to me. She has earned my complete trust, and she will always be my first choice whenever I need someone to care for Nina. I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my little girl!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Alyssa was so accommodating! We needed our dog taken care of while away from home to see a concert. We miscalculated our drop off time and then had a significant delay exiting the concert venue. She was flexible, communicative, and nice about the situation. She asked questions about our dog’s needs and took good care of him! Very grateful to her - it was an awesome concert!!”
“I felt that Marble was in good hands and didn’t have to worry about him at all during our trip while he was with Bath. He seemed very happy in the pictures she sent on his walks! Thank you!”
“Ashlee is amazing with Bosco and sends us pictures of him playing with all his new friends! Hes always so excited when he first sees her which makes leaving him a little bit easier ☺️”
“Amanda and her son were amazing with our dog Charlie! He's a big boy and can be a lot to handle but they didn't seem to have any issues. This was his first stay with them. He settled in almost immediately. It was just a short stay overnight and he actually ate a couple times. Often he food strikes for the first day or two so this shows he felt at ease with them. We will definitely be booking again for our future needs. Thanks Amanda!”
“Jenifer did a great job watching our Cockapoo. He can be anxious at times but he felt right at home with her. Loved spending time with Jenifer on her deck over looking the lake.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Burlington is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Alyssa was fantastic! This was only our second time leaving our puppy and the first time boarding him, he's got a lot of energy and still very much a puppy so we wanted to make sure we found the right fit for him. Alyssa sent us many pictures and updates and made Gilbert feel right at home, he absolutely loved her dogs too. If we need a sitter in the future we will absolutely be checking Alyssa's availability first. ❤️

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Burlington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Burlington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Burlington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
You and your Burlington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
