“From our very first meeting we felt like Lorraine was so comfortable to be with. Our cat Sherlock absolutely loved her and was immediately purring around her during our meet and greet. Lorraine has been a perfect caring sitter and substitute mommy for Sherlock. She's sent us many pictures and lots of details during each visit. Each check in has been on time and detailed. Once home everything was perfectly in order and our fur baby was a relaxed and happy cat. Our first experience with Rover and Lorraine has been nothing short of phenomenal.”
“Emily has been an incredible sitter and we’re so grateful to have her as our repeat sitter. She’s reliable, caring, and truly understands cats—their routines, personalities, and quirks. Every time we’re away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our cats are in safe, loving hands. She keeps us updated, follows instructions perfectly, and our cats are always happy and relaxed when we return. Highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“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: 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.
“As always, Caroline is amazing! She is so helpful, kind and caring to the animals and incredibly reliable and responsible. I have no worries or doubts about my babies or my space, she has made so many trips away stress free and enjoyable!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life, which has given me strong, hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding animal behaviour. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including energetic puppies and older pets who may need extra patience and attention. I have experience with feeding schedules, walking, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I also understand how important consistency is for pets and always try to maintain their normal routines to help them feel comfortable. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and genuine love for animals. I take the time to build trust with each pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also very reliable and will keep you updated so you always feel at ease. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for morning and afternoon visits, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs. I make it a priority to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship without feeling rushed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions and routines to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for in a familiar environment. I’m attentive, responsible, and always aware of my surroundings during walks and visits to ensure pets stay safe. I create a calm, positive environment where pets feel relaxed and supported. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.
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!
“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.”
“Once again Julie is fantastic as always with my person-picky kitty. So thankful to have her around to take care of my little oldie but feisty tortie :) definitely recommend.”
“Richelle was very professional and diligent - she took care of my kitten at the same time every day and provided him with lots of entertainment. I would not hesitate using Richelle again.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid and grew up with a dog of my own so being around animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve taken care of neighbours’ and friends’ pets and gained experience with different personalities and routines. I’m comfortable feeding pets letting dogs out for bathroom breaks cleaning up messes and giving them lots of attention affection and playtime. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient dependable attentive and always happy to give pets the care and companionship they need. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I recently finished my third year of university and am currently on summer break, so I’m looking to fill my time doing something I truly love. I’m available most days and have a very flexible schedule. I currently work part time on weekends but I’m completely willing and able to adjust my schedule if needed to make sure pets get the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s feeding walks playtime bathroom breaks or simply keeping pets company, I’m happy to work around each pet’s routine and give them consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy creating a calm comfortable environment where pets feel safe loved and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very attentive to the animals in my care and always make their safety comfort and wellbeing my top priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible so they feel safe relaxed and well cared for in their familiar environment. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has different needs personalities and routines. I pay close attention to their behaviour habits and overall wellbeing and I would never hesitate to reach out to an owner if I had any concerns about their pet. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s animal very seriously because I know I would only want the very best care for my own pets. I always aim to create a calm loving and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident leaving their pets in my care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burlington
Our first time using Rover and we found Julie, who took great care of our Frankie. Frankie is a high-energy dog, but Julie did an amazing job with him. She was calm, confident, and Frankie responded really well to her. I’d definitely book with Julie again. Her excellent communication kept me informed and at ease throughout the experience. Thank you Julie!
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!
Emily did a fantastic job sitting Moose and Maverick. Never has anyone got close to them as quickly as she did. Normally they run and hide when someone visits. Emily got them to interact with he on the first visit.she is definitely a cat whisperer. When I came home they greeted me immediately. Which was unusual. They were very friendly, no hissing and stayed with me the rest of the night.I really think they were expecting Emily. I thank Emily for a job well done and look forward to having her look after Moose and Maverick in the future.
I can’t say exactly say why, but I’ve had terrible experiences with finding a reliable sitter that Lucy and I both liked, until now. I was leaving for the Caribbean and needed a reliable caregiver for Lucy that I could trust. Will was and is fantastic. We booked him for this weekend too and again it went seamlessly. There was something that went wrong in my home and I’m so grateful that Will handled it perfectly. Most importantly, he took really great care of Lucy and our home!
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 :)
Our cats were well looked after and happy. Communication was also great, rarely I had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a response - which is super important when you leave your pets for a long time. Caitlyn also tried to accommodate extra requests to the best of her ability - like applying ointment to one of our cats. Overall it was a positive experience.
Natasha is a wonderful pet sitter and person!!! My dogs loved her instantly, which is uncommon for them. She is friendly, punctual and flexible. I had peace of mind that my dogs were well cared for went I was on vacation! She is also knowledgeable on e-collar training which is a bonus! Thank you so much Natasha!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burlington on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of June 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 5,342 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Burlington. About 86% 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.
