About: I've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. While I only have cats now, I've cared in-depth for dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and other small mammals. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control. I have a full time job, so I am able to care for your pets first thing in the mornings before I go to work and then after I am finished with my workday, so if your pet is used to the normal 8-5 hours of being alone, I’m a perfect fit for your family! I am familiar with socialization, crate training, daily activity, and all-around love that is required for dogs and cats. I am no stranger to the more hands-off needs of a small mammal or scaled friend, and am comfortable handling all sorts of pets. I am respectful of a client's home and will treat it as if it were my own. I do ask that I can adjust the temperature and that I will be comfortable staying in your home.
“Teri is calm, caring, and patient. She was willing to put in the time needed to win over my young and nervous shepherd. I have no problem leaving her with my three dogs in my home for a week. I know they will be well taken care of.”
“Brandi is amazing cat sitter, our cats love her. When we came back after long trip, I feel like both of my cats didn’t feel we were gone at all. Thanks to her again. Definitely ask her to check our cats again in the future.”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.
About: I've been around animals my whole life! Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets, both cats and dogs. I also worked for Wag, which I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much about caring for pets. My schedule is extremely flexible and I only work part time, so I can care for your pets at almost any time of day, especially mornings and afternoons. In a client's home, the pets are in a familiar environment with an unfamiliar person. So, the first thing I do is give the pets a chance to get used to me! Let them sniff me, let them approach me at their own pace.
About: I have been pet sitting for over twelve years now and love doing it!! I have worked as a kennel assistant for the last two years. Through this I have gained a lot of experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, and learning all there is to know about them! I also have two dogs of my own so I know just how much they become a part of your family, which is why loving and competent care is so important for them! I cannot wait to meet and love on your fur babies :) I’m currently working a full time 9-5 position, so if that fits with your dogs schedule then perfect! I of course make your pup the priority, taking them out and getting their daily exercise in before and after work. Whatever the needs of your pup are is what I’m here to give them! I am more than willing to care for your dog in your home however they are most comfortable! Whether that be crate training, daily walks/runs or just good quality time and cuddles on the couch :)
“Michelle has been excellent ! We are so fortunate our Mabel had such awesome care and attention . We felt very comfortable having Michelle in our home and spending time with our best girl ! I highly recommend Michelle to anyone who loves their pet(s) and wants the security of knowing they are loved and cared for 1,000% of the time . I was nervous to use Rover as I am first time user . Michelle made it so easy and comfortable .”
About: For the last 10 years I have been the go to pet-sitter for my family, friends and neighbors, and I can be for you also! I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of all kinds. I have taken care of itty bitty baby kittens and helped raised them up to go into their forever homes. I spent time working at a doggie daycare, where I gained some experience administering medications such as pills and eyedrops/eardrops. I, myself have three cats Roo, Gus and Noelle I am currently doing pet care full-time, and I can work with your schedule. I can be flexible, just let me know when you need me! With my own cats and I strive to take care of them the best I can, they get the best food, the best water, a lot of play and so many cuddles. I will take care of your babies as if they are my own, while also also sticking to your standards and routine.

Weekend can get busier, but I am a flexible go with the flow person!

About: I have almost a lifetime of experience with animals of all ages. Im patient with high energy puppies and calming to older and wiser animals. I love to bond with dogs over long walks and play sessions. I love spending time outdoors and with the company of a dog, the time becomes even more meaningful. Caring and visiting pets had always been a huge mood booster for me. When I am spending time with your pets we will be playing, taking walks or cuddling as much as possible. I will take the time to understand the needs your pet might be communicating.

One is a long haired chihuahua named Sophie and the other is a mini affenpincher named Iggy. All are very friendly and they love to play with other dogs!

“Renee did a fantastic job with in-home visits with my dog Rookie. It was my first time ever using Rover and Renee went above and beyond. She made the process very easy and Rookie had a great weekend with her!”

I have experience with dogs who struggle with dog aggression, leash problems, diabetes etc. I am very patient and understanding and I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I currently work at a vets office nearby during the day with Mondays off so I can help mornings and evenings no problem! I don’t mind early morning walks as I am up with the sun normally!

I have my own Australian cattle dog who is extremely friendly and willing to accompany your dog if needed or allowed!
About: I've had a love/passion for dogs since I was born into this life. Growing up, I've always had a dog in the house, so it easily became the norm for me. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds, including doberman, pitbulls, great dane, labs, boxers, beagles, and mutts. I truly love them all. I'm open to taking care of all breeds. I don't discriminate! One thing I will note is that I specialize in high energy/working dogs and am very familiar with larger breeds. Just to give you a quick example, I raised a Doberman from a puppy which led to me learning A LOT throughout the process. Doberman are a working breed and require plenty of mental and physical stimulation & I think I cracked the code! I’ve developed a deep understanding of what high-energy dogs need to thrive. I'm good at stimulating their minds, keeping them active and most importantly, happy. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I do understand the importance of balancing their physical and mental well-being, and I'm dedicated to ensuring each dog has a great time with me! I'm very engaging and mindful, so whatever your dog may need, whether it's staying active outside or relaxing at home, I will do my best to provide. That's a promise. When it comes to availability, I am free at the moment. You can contact me any time and I will get back to you asap. I will make sure you feel comfortable with leaving your pets with me. To ensure you of this, I will send you daily photos & videos to show you how good of a time they're having! Also, you can give me a call ANYTIME. I know what it's like to drop my dogs off at a pet sitter's house, so my job is to give you the relief of knowing that your pets are in great hands. I can guarantee you this🙂
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, and even bought a dog of my own 3 years ago and he’s the best ever! He’s super friendly with other dogs and plays well with others. I usually take him on walks mornings, midday, and evening time and in the summer I only give him a walk in the evening because he’s a Husky and it gets too hot for him during the day. Evenings are best time for him. I try to take him to the dog park at least a couple times a week, so you can count on your pup having some one on one time with another pup and having LOTS of fun. I have walked dogs for family/family friends since I was 14. I’ve dog sat too and fed and bathe them. I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful children (3yrs, and 8months) and I take them along on walks too. They love dogs! I am available during the week at any time! I have 1 male Siberian Husky, he’s 3yrs old. He’s fixed and is up to date on all his shots, he’s also super friendly and plays well with any type of dog and any size.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Cayla was a fantastic pet sitter. I was nervous of leaving my companions, a bird and a dove, esp because they are not dogs or cats. Cayla met me before my trip and I knew upon meeting her they were in the right hands. She treated them like my family and sent me all the pics and videos I needed. She always got back to me right away when we had to communicate, and made sure the house was warm enough when the temps dipped. When I got home it was like I'd never been gone, cleaner actually

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
