“Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!”
About: I have 16 years of experience caring for others' animals. I worked for multiple horse farms until graduating college and all types of animals. Horses, donkeys, cows, big dogs, little dogs, pigs, bunnies, birds, I've taken care of them all! The bigger the animal the more comfortable I am with them. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule that I make. I travel all over Cook/Kenosha/McHenry/Lake/Dupage Counties so if you're in that area I can tailor my schedule to spend more time in that area the week you need to accommodate your pets needs with daily walks or overnights. I treat all pets like they are my own. I take the time to get to know what they like so they warm up to me. Their favorite napping spots or where they like to be scratched. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can be while their owner is not around. I try to be the fun aunt that comes to visit so they don't notice mom and dad are gone.
“I have a medically fragile senior cat who requires injectable medication. Diane was professional, easy to deal with and listened to instructions. She gave exceptional care to my cat and sent detailed updates. I will be booking her again and would recommend her to others!”
About: I’ve been around dogs forever now! I’ve had all kinds of experiences with all different breeds. I can’t wait to love your pet almost as much as you do! I’m currently working from home and would love to have an excuse to get out of the house a little more often. I also love taking walks! I have a fenced yard and cameras set up around my house. I also have a security system in my house for doors being left open and so forth.
“Dominique was wonderful with my Stinky! Stinky immediately loved him. Dominique was very attentive to Stinky’s needs. He was walked, fed, given water and played with. I will continue to ask Dominique for his valuable assistance!”
About: Since 2019, I've been committed to the well being of dogs and cats, offering trusted, reliable, and professional care. While my experience may be selective, each client I've served has left glowing reviews, reflecting the quality and dedication I bring to every job. Your pet companion is in good hands with my proven track record of satisfied clients. My current availability for pet services is contingent upon my full time employment, which spans Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, usually. My work is flexible as well. I am able to bring animals to my office. I operate on a hybrid work model, with a predominant presence in the office rather than at home. In my home or at my client's, the pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities. I customize care routines for each furry friend, sticking to their usual schedule for feeding, playtime, and keeping an eye on them. I make sure the environment is safe and comfy, and I'm always up for fun and cuddles to keep them content. I keep the client updated and have a plan in case of any surprises. Basically, I aim to make sure the pets feel right at home, whether they're with me or at their owner's place. I do have a fenced in yard and my own space to keep the pet comfortable.

I have over 8+ years experience with dogs and cats in the professional setting. I also have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love dearly. I currently got laid off my day job so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out,play,walk, give treats etc. Thank you for reading my profile. I won’t be offering in my home services due to my animals. When it comes to your pets I will play, walk, feed, kennel ect. Per your instructions
“If you want someone that is going to love on your pup as if they are your own, then Haylee is absolutely the sitter for you. My dog is intense and intimidating when first meeting new people. Haylee took it all in stride, confidently handling his barking and giving him exactly what he needed to let his guard down. She spent as much time as he needed at the check-ins. I cannot recommend Haylee enough! She gives me peace of mind knowing that my pup is incredibly well cared for, whether I'm gone for an extra long work day or a multi-day trip.”
“We had a great experience with Travis, and will absolutely book with him again. He was responsive, easy to communicate with, and kept us updated while we were away. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and well cared for when we returned, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.

About: I am a dog lover, I’ve had many pets throughout my life. I had a dog named Bella for 12 years so I have a lot of experience with dogs. I’ve also had other family members ask me to watch their dogs. I potty trained her and thought her tricks and I can do the same for your dog. I love dogs and I will make sure your dog is well fed, walked and given enough affection while you are away. The neighborhood I live in has great places for walks and dog parks as well. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs in the future have a great day.
About: My entire life has been surrounded by my family of pets; dogs, cats, fish, etc. I used to have 3 Cocker Spaniels and a cat while I raised my daughter, had a full-time career, took care of my house and everything else. I even created a pet grooming brand of products that I sold on Home Shopping Network. I would love to help you with your dog or cat. I know how important it is to know they’re in good hands while you’re gone. I work in a sales role. I work from home and visit customers locally. I have a lot of flexibility managing my schedule. Your pet is my priority when I make that commitment. I’m flexible in making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible and they follow their routine. I am accommodating and will do my best to keep them happy. I have a lot of experience administering complicated medication regimens as well as providing injections like insulin, if needed. I also groom my own dogs.
“Michael is great - we have used him a couple of times. He is very responsive when communicating and our two dogs really like him (and they aren't the easiest of dogs to sit for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
About: I have numerous years of experience training and babysitting dogs and would love to be your furry friend’s new best friend. I am available for walks, drop in visits, or overnight care. I am new to Rover so please reach out for references! I am a student and working part-time so I will have plenty of time to hang out with your furry friend. I am available for 4-6 hours each day, times varying. I will let your pets out for a quick potty break or a long walk, whichever you prefer. I am comfortable hanging out and providing company to your pet as well as feeding and watering.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Burlington is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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.

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.

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.
