“I am so thankful I came upon Ji's profile. She has been a lifesaver. I absolutely trust her in my home and with my fur babies! She has gone above and beyone what is expected of her. Highly recommend.”
“We are so fortunate to have found Dee and Shane. After meeting them you can tell that they truly love animals and we felt a lot of comfort knowing that they would be taking care of our cats. While we were gone they sent us the cutest pictures and notes which was very comforting. We will definitely be using Dee and Shane as catsitters in the future. I know our cats will be looking forward to it!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up my family has had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish and even a cockatiel. I’ve house sat and dog sat multiple times and come away with a new best friend each time. I work full time from home during the week on a fully flexible schedule. I can essentially take breaks from work whenever I need throughout the day to attend to any errands or responsibilities on my schedule, pet care included. I am generally pretty free in the evenings & weekends. I am a young, agile and strong pet lover who can adapt to the animal I am with. For bigger more domineering animals I am comfortable taking care of them & for more docile pet I can be a delicate gentle teddy bear as well!
“Valerie was able to schedule a walk for Pepsi even on short notice and did such an amazing job with him. She was very professional and caring when it came to understanding Pepsi’s needs and getting to know him. From their initial meet and greet it was clear he liked her and that he would be well taken care of.”

“I would recommend Emily to any friends or family. Emily was able to come in and walk my dog on such short notice. My animals trusted her and so did I. She provided regular updates and pictures Thankyou”
“Unbelievably awesome! Even with a dog that is large (!!) and can be difficult with new people! Helped with a last minute booking and saved my life or at least a lot of stress. Thank you so much for your help!”
“Great communication! Meredith is lovely and truly cared about my cat. I was anxious about leaving her all by herself but I needn't have worried. I got lots of updates and pictures/videos. Everything was perfect when I got home from my vacation. So appreciate you.”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs all my life and a very comfortable with all sorts of breeds, personalities, along with various ages and training needs. I am a local collage student, and am available to walk dogs pretty much any time during the weekends, early mornings and later evenings during weekdays. I’m fit and energetic and have lots of energy to keep your dogs moving and safe. I am comfortable with all types of pets and also with all kinds of situations or emergencies.
“Julie took great care of our fur babies. She sent lots of pictures and gave us regular updates on how they were doing. Our cats don’t normally warm up to strangers so quickly but they were instantly comfortable with Julie. Really grateful for her care of them.”
“Madeline made me feel very calm and ensured that my gracie was being well taken care off. She was able to reduce my anxiety of being away from my cat. She was an amazing sitter and will definitely book again!”
“Lorraine took fantastic care of our cat, Piper, while we were away. She went above and beyond—spending extra time with her, sending detailed daily updates and photos, and making sure she felt safe and loved. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Piper was in such great hands. Lorraine was a pleasure to communicate with throughout the entire process. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of awkward dogs, affectionate dogs, chill dogs and I have experience with feeding them their special diets as instructed and following any specific potty time habits they may have to help them go potty. For example this one dog I dogsat would have to spin around in circles a few times before he went potty. I have experience staying overnight with dogs as well as cats. I have cats of my own as well and I’ve been around all kinds of pets my whole life so I’m very comfortable around most pets. I will be attending full time school in September but I will have time in between classes or before/after where I can schedule play dates and walks. When I enter the home I keep my energy calm. I try to get a read on whether the pet is comfortable with being approached. Then if they are, I hold out my hand so they can sniff it and familiarize themselves with my scent. I will follow any specific instructions there are so I can make sure they’re following their routine. I will play with them. A lot of the dogs I take care of enjoy tug o war or fetch. But with any pet, before play time I would want to have some time to just sit around them so they can get used to me before we start playing/walking. If possible I would prefer to set up a test meeting with pets and parents beforehand.
“I was very pleased with Caroline’s drop in visits with my two cats for a week. She was very thorough in her daily messages / report cards, sending photos and outlining any concerns she may have had, which was very helpful. My boys seemed to be in good hands for the week. I would definitely recommend Caroline’s services and would not hesitate to book her in the future should I need someone to look after my cats. Thank you Caroline!”
About: I am a wildlife biologist who has grown up surrounded by pets. I have a couple of my own cats at home that I adopted over a year ago. I am very experienced with all types of dogs and love going on walks. I miss spending time with dogs so I will take great care of yours, and get them the exercise they need! I love all types of animals! I am happy to come visit your dogs, or cats, to help with their care, or take them on a walk! I'd be happy to take older dogs on slower walks around the neighbourhood, and energetic dogs can get their exercise on a long and fast-paced walk! I can't wait to meet your dog! I’m used to pet care being a part of my daily routine! I’m available most days throughout the day, right now I work as a barista so I often have short shifts and some weekdays off. I am a very responsible individual with lots of animal experience. I make it a priority to give my cats the best life I can with enrichment and proper diet. I always make it a priority to give your pets the best care possible.
“This was my first experience with Rover and Jeff was phenomenal. We needed help walking Wilson… a large, exuberant 10 month old puppy (while his mom was away) and Jeff was the perfect fit. For two weeks he was reliable and punctual … sending daily updates and photos … always replied promptly to msgs too.Thank you Jeff … definitely recommend you and would ask for your services again in the future.”
About: As a lifelong pet owner, I've always had a house filled with multiple pets. From kittens and puppies to seniors. As small as 5lb chihuahuas to 95lb labs, I have experience with all ages, stages and sizes. I'm currently in the start-up phase of creating my own home-based business so have lots of availability during the weekday. As a mom to two, evenings and weekends can be challenging but may be possible. I'm a very affectionate caregiver and love showering dogs and cats with lots of pets and snuggles. Each pet gets treated as if they were my own. As an avid traveller, I know what it's like to leave your pet in someone's care and the disappointment that can come when the caregiver does not live up to your expectations, and I vow not to do that to another family. I will treat your pet and home with the utmost respect.
“Paige helped us out with our senior Pomeranian while we were out of town and she took great care of him. There were many updates and photos so we were not worried at all how he was handling be home alone. She even completed some tasks around the house that we requested which we were so appreciative of. Definitely someone that’s willing to go the extra mile for the pups and their families!”
“This was my first booking with Madisyn. She was great with my kitty Theo. I am very particular about who I leave him in the care of because he is very temperamental and needs to follow a bit of a regimented routine for his health. She met all of my requests without hesitation. She kept me updated with photos and kept in contact with me and even kept track of his bathroom schedule! She also brushed him because he has A LOT of hair - important as a preventative measure so he does not get a blockage(he previously had surgery to remove a hairball!) Theo seemed to have a really good time with her & be very comfortable in her care based on the Live Photos. He loves play time which she was sure to include with each visit. Will definitely be using Madisyn again in the future & highly recommend her if you want someone who is responsible, understanding and who will honestly go above and beyond for your pet so that you can feel at ease when you are not there to take care of them yourself.”

Emily was absolutely amazing checking in on TJ while I was on vacation! She truly went above and beyond and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. She sent lots of updates and photos with every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Emily was reliable, caring, and clearly treated TJ like her own. If you’re like me and feel anxious about leaving your pets for any period of time, you can absolutely trust Emily to take great care of them. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Lorraine took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away. We truly loved receiving her regular updates and the many beautiful photos she sent, which made being away so much easier. She is reliable, caring, and highly professional. We will definitely ask her to look after our cats again.
Once again, I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Laura. I had to leave my little furry friend at home while traveling for work, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in Laura’s care. She always takes wonderful care of him, keeps him entertained and happy, and regularly sends me lots of photos and videos, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away.
Shannon took excellent care of my brand new puppy! She provided me constant updates throughout the day on how my puppy was doing while I was at work which allowed me to go about my day knowing my puppy was in excellent hands. Will definitely be booking Shannon again and recommending her to friends and family!
Michelle was amazing. She sent photos, kept us updated on Luna's eating, and followed all instructions. She washed Luna's dishes even though we said she could just toss them in the dishwasher and even put bird videos on the TV to entertain Luna :) I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to pop in and feed or check on their pet while they are away. Fantastic experience
As always, Caroline provided awesome care for my two cats while I was away. She tried various ways to coax my kitten out of hiding until he became familiar and friendly with her and catered to my senior cat by finding him and bringing food and treats to him when he would not appear during her visits. Her communication was excellent as well.
We had a positive experience with Rachel. While we were away for a night, she visited our home to feed our two cats who need individualized portions and are quite scared of strangers. Rachel followed our instructions and left our place clean. Thank you, Rachel :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,378 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Burlington. About 85% of Burlington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Burlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
