“Dee was amazing with my fur babies! I booked her for a weekend of house sitting. She gave my puppy a lot of attention and playtime. My puppy was not feeling well and Dee picked up her meds from the vet and gave them to her. Dee has a loving and kind personality and she was careful to follow all of my written instructions. Dee sent many pictures and detailed updates, this gave me great peace and comfort. I came home to a clean, tidy house and happy pets, I would definitely ask her to house sit for me again.”
“Took well care of Vito during the day and over night. Came home to a happy dog, who had been fed and received plenty of pets. Both Vito and I look forward to the next time they sit.”
“Heather was amazing! It was our families first time booking a house/pet sitter for our dogs outside of family and our first time leaving one of our dogs. Not only did Heather come and do a pre-visit but was beyond amazing with both my dogs. She sent photos and updates the week we were away and it was abundantly clear both my dogs adored her. She also managed workers that needed to come to my home due to a leak right before our trip which was a huge relief. Definitely recommend Heather to anyone! We will for sure be booking her again in the future.”
“Things went great! I felt immediately comfortable with Amy! My dogs loved her as soon as they met her! She provided a detailed schedule and helped me navigate the app as it was my first time. I loved the pictures she sent! When I arrived home my dogs seemed very happy and content. Having her stay with them made travel much easier. I can’t wait to book her again and neither can my dogs- that’s what they would say if they could talk!!😉💕”
“Lorin was amazing with our brand new rescue pup, Dill. She jumped in last minute to help us when some travel plans left us in a sticky situation. Our pup loved her right away and we got so many updates and photos. She is a wonderful caregiver and we look forward to working with her again!”
“Jeff cared for our precious boy, Jethro, for 12 days. He was extremely prompt with answering messages and he sent us a bunch of pictures of Jethro each day! He took Jethro to the park every day. Jethro was a very happy and healthy dog when we got home! We can't thank him enough for taking such good care of Jethro. It was peace of mind knowing that Jeff was giving Jethro a similar care as we would give. Thank you soo much, Jeff!! And Jethro thanks you too!”
“Linda took great care of our dog Georgie and our home. She communicated with us throughout her stay and made us feel very comfortable leaving our dog and home in her hands. We would definitely recommend her and would book her services again!”
“Ethan was an excellent sitter for our dog while we were out of town!! He responded quickly to messages and handled a last-minute booking change with ease. He kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind :)”
“Mark stayed at hour home and watched our Bullmastiff for a few days. He was respectful of our home and took good care of our dog, following all of our instructions and keeping us updated each day. I would be happy to hire him again.”
“We did a meet and greet with Hailey about a week before she watched our 4 month old puppy and we were so impressed with her. We’d never had a stranger stay in our house before to watch a dog and she put us at ease right away. Hailey was amazing with our puppy over the weekend. We received many updates and pictures which we all loved. The house was super clean when we came home and most importantly, our puppy was happy and had been well cared for. We would recommend Hailey to anyone in a heartbeat.”
About: I have experience ranging from fish, dogs, cats to even horses, growing up I used to pet sit/walk for family friends, neighbours and even at a family owned campground for local campers to enjoy a night out and have their pet cared for while doing so. I love long hikes, so if your furry friend is in need of that I have 2 years of experience with on leash and off leash hiking with dogs, or if your pet just needs some snuggles I’m happy to do that aswell! I spent 2 years working for an outdoor dog daycare gaining lots of hands on experience with training, socialization and regular dog care. I’m currently working part time morning shifts a few days a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, from 8-12 other than that my schedule is pretty open! I like to do individualized care programs based off each pet’s individual needs, aswell as owner preferences. Because just like us, our furry friends have totally different likes and needs too 🙂
“Paige took care of my dog and cats like they were her own and I didn’t worry at all while I was away. She sent me pictures of them all snuggling together on the couch which made me feel even better about my choice. I would highly recommend Paige to take care of your animals!”
“Anne is a fabulous sitter! Communication from the very first meeting to our time away was top notch. We had daily updates as requested and her commentary about our boy clearly showed how invested she was in taking great care of him. She was very thoughtful with her care for our senior dog and also with our home. We won’t hesitate to request Anne again.”
“Carrie took amazing care of our dog Freddie when we were away. She is so sweet and gentle with animals. She understood his individual needs and sent lots of updates. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”
About: My name is Liam Clark and I have loved animals all my life. They bring me joy when I'm feeling down. I enjoy walking, and caring for, all types of dogs and have even worked at a family owned pet store that dealt with puppies of small breeds. I was able to care for, clean and pamper them when I did have customers inside the store. The services I can offer are dog walker, house sitter and dropping in. I have walked numerous sizes and breeds of dogs ranging from Labrador retrievers to dachshunds and smaller breeds like Shih Tzu's. As for house sitting, I have experience using multiple entrance keys and buzzer codes, plus entering different homes to drop in and walk the dog. I am in the process of getting a police check done as I am 18. Currently Pet care is my schedule as I have been catsitting for multiple households throughout the last 2 years, preforming drop in care and live in care I normally meet with the family and their pets before the pet care to get to know each other and hopefully begin connecting with the pets. I follow the instructions given by the family in regards to food amounts and medicine needed.

Wow! Look no further for a pet sitter. Amber is amazing! She took such incredible care of my dog. Lots of walks and cuddles. She also sent daily updates & pictures, which helped keep my mind at ease while I was away. She is a true pet lover, you can tell. 5 stars - thanks, Amber!
Shannon is exactly what we're looking for in a dog sitter for our two fur babies. She was professional, flexible and enthusiastic about taking the best care of our pooches. We got lots of updates and photos while we were away and came home to our house in perfect order and our pooches happy and healthly. We would highly recommend Shannon to take incredible care of your dogs.
Sanchita was a great dog sitter for our 2 year old golden retriever! Communication with her was very easy and she stayed in touch with us throughout our time away. Our pup ended up having an upset stomach over the weekend, so Sanchita went above and beyond at taking her out throughout the hours of the night and early morning. We appreciated everything she did and would recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter!
Emily is amazing! She is super friendly with a lovely, sparkling personality. She has experience with older cats. My cat, Dipsy, is 16 and Emily took great care in following my care instructions. She stayed the whole week in our home, caring for Dipsy when we went on vacation. Dipsy warmed up quickly to Emily. He can be a picky eater, but he ate happily under Emily's gentle care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,147 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burlington. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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.
