“Avery is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of our dog and cat while we were out of town for nearly 2 weeks. Her communication was great while we were gone. Pets well taken for and had all the snuggles they could want. She clearly loves animals and that made it easier for us to leave our pets in her care. She is professional and we will certainly hire her again in the future. Thank you Avery!!!”
“No short of a dynamic duo - this was our first foray into Rover, and it went so much smoother than we could even hope! Our pup had great care, we got regular updates with photos, and felt super at ease leaving our dog home while we attended an important family event. We'll definitely work with Naomi & Hannah again!”
“Hailey did us a huge favor and did a last minute sit for a few nights. She had great communication, send picture updates, and left the house in great condition. Thanks again Hailey!”
“Hayley is an absolute rockstar. We needed last minute pet sitting for our wedding and Hayley saved the day! Hayley is extremely courteous and thoughtful with the needs of our pets and our home. We enjoyed her consistent and reliable communication and cute cat and puppy pics throughout her stay. They made us feel at ease and helped us focus on our big day! 10/10 will be booking Hayley again in the future.”
“This was our first time leaving Max with a sitter. She was wonderful and Max loved her. We will definitely use the service again and Sukhpran she was great with Max. I would definitely recommend Sukhpran for a dog sitter.”
“Anna has helped us out many time with dog/house sitting. She is great with Ruby & Miika. They love having her here. Anna was super helpful this time when our travel mode got messed up. We were so thankful she was able to stay an extra day. I highly recommend her!”
“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”
“Beatrice was so sweet with our 2 little pups. They took to her right away, and when we returned, they seemed to be very comfortable with her! We will certainly reach out to her on our next visit to Burlington. Thanks!”
“Rani is a fabulous animal carer and overall trustworthy and dedicated individual. She cares for my 4 dogs - ranging from small to extra large, puppy to middle age, and gentle to leash aggressive. She also cares for my 2 cats easily. All have special food requirements and most need medication - she handles it all perfectly. She is prompt, attentive and careful and keeps me posted of all the things she notices about my animals. She washes the animals bowls after each meal and ensures water bowls are clean and full and poop is picked up in our back yard. Rani even took the time to help me with other things after a medical procedure rendered me unable. She's a top notch professional and I recommend her highly.”
“Melissa was wonderful! She stayed at our place for two nights and took very good care of our dog and our house. Was promt and good at communication with sending photos and updates. She loves the outdoors so if that's what your hoping for look no further!”
“Amazing job! Ale and Paul took great care of our three pets, a dog and two cats for a whole week. Our house was exactly as we left it. Communication was smooth and very reactive. I 100% recommend them and would book them again. Thank you!!”
“Charlotte took great care of my dog while I was away! My pup can be nervous with new people and takes a bit to warm up and she loved Charlotte! She was calm and happy when I got home! Will definitley book again!”
About: Fueled by a genuine and passionate love for animals, I was a small-animal veterinary technician for 9 years. This led me to earning a pre-veterinary science degree from the University of Vermont followed by a job working at Cornell University Veterinary Specialists' small animal hospital. I have since changed my career but still pursue animal care in my free-time. This includes pet sitting, dog walking, and anything else you may need. From dogs and cats to bunnies and birds, I had it all growing up and this pet hobby has transcended into my adult life. I'm confident administering medications, trimming nails, scrubbing your fish tank, or simply walking and playing with your pets. My friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me for years for top notch pet care. I currently work from home full-time and therefore have a lot of flexibility to come care for and play with your pets! I take my own dog on walks, hikes, or to the dog park every day and would be glad to do the same with yours. Ample exercise = a happy pet! I care deeply for animals and will do all I can to keep them safe, happy, and health. I have a fenced-in yard in the New North End of Burlington that is perfect for supervised dog play and exploration. We are also just a 5 minute walk from the Starr Farm Dog Park. I follow all leash rules and will never let a dog go unsupervised while playing with a toy or eating a treat to eliminate choking hazards. I am an excellent rule-follower so if you have a special request for in-home care, let me know and I'll follow it to a T.
“Zoe is remarkable! Her compassion and care show in her engagement with our fuzzy loves and with us. Great updates with thoughtful questions and offers that went way above and beyond. This was a long time away and during really frigid temps. Zoe was cheerful and responsive throughout. Returned to very happy pets. I highly recommend Zoe with absolutely zero hesitation.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs but have experience sitting for both cats and dogs. In addition, I spent 8 months volunteering for the humane society walking dogs. I love going for walks, hikes, and anything outdoors. I work a full time job but would love to give your pets some love outside of that :) I work full time but love to go for walks before and after work! I’m happy to accommodate whatever routine your pet is used to! Your pets are guaranteed lots of love while under my care! I hope to mimic the same love and routines they’re used to, so please don’t hesitate to tell me all your pets habits and quirks!
“We received pictures & updates on everyone and appreciate the extra care given to each one individually. Matt's always quick to respond to our request and was flexible when we asked to adjust dates to accommodate the weather. Thank you Matt!”
About: I am a life-long animal lover who has cared for pets for as long as I can remember. In fact, I could think of nothing I would rather do than devote my life to animal health and well-being, so I became a veterinarian! I am no longer in clinical practice, as I now focus on wildlife population health; however, I retain my love of creatures great and small and appreciate the opportunity to provide in-home care to your beloved dogs and other pets. I otherwise miss the snuggles, as I do not currently have pets of my own! I know the value of the human-pet bond, and I strive to give the highest quality care. I am comfortable caring for pups with special needs or any number of other critters (cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, rodents, etc.). My only limitation is that I am at work full-time during the day, so I would not be suitable for animals needing mid-day care on a daily basis.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gordon Landing
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 352 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gordon Landing. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans 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 Gordon Landing walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gordon Landing 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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 Gordon Landing 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!
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.
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 .
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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
