About: I will provide a on-the-ready daycare/check-in service. Check in's will include play time engagement, spending time with them if they have been alone, walks, administer medicine if need be, and overall quality check in. I can provide these services at a moments notice with being local to Burlington, and can also provide these services over an extended period of time to suite your schedule. Daily check in's can last anywhere from 30 mins to one hour, depending on your needs. I work full time but my schedule is flexible. I have watched and cared for multiple family friends cats and dogs since my teens, as well as now helping colleagues watch their pets while traveling out of town. My experience ranges from the simple check in's; walks, playtime, feeding - to administering shots, ear spray, tic and flea medicine, etc. I currently work a hybrid schedule Mon-Thurs in office and half-day Fridays from home, moving back to full-day Friday's from home come fall. Even when in office, my schedule is flexible and I am out of work by 4pm, and can step out quick if need be throughout the day, making sudden pop-in visits easy for me. And making scheduled visits even easier. I live on a quieter street and my apartment is set back from the road, giving peace of mind when out on walks or in the yard. Crating is always an option if you are more comfortable and familiar with that.
“Nicholas took great care of Ava. He was very personable and friendly and was communicative and easy-going especially around drop off and pick up details. Would use him again and highly recommend!”
“Natalie and Patrick took wonderful care of Bert as always. I really appreciate their frequent updates and pictures. He came home a very tired and very happy boy :) He is already looking forward to his next stay.”
“Matt accepted our last-minute boarding request and took excellent care of our high-maintenance dog for an entire weekend. We appreciated how he accommodated her eccentric behavior with a smile, and we look forward to booking him again!”
“First time using rover and Pete and Alex were awesome! Pete and Alex are so sweet and took great care of Billie. I’m sure Billie loved the huge yard and comfy home as well as their playful pup Hank:) Will definitely have Billie stay there again in the future!”
“Deborah was so great with our pup, Stella! Her backyard was perfect for her to run around in. She spoiled her to death and sent us tons of photos while we were away! Stella left super happy! Highly recommend!”
“Hannah took wonderful care of our miniature dachshund for the day. We had a ski trip planned and needed to have someone watch our shy girl while we were away. She was attentive, took her on multiple walks, and made pick up and drop off very easy. I definitely recommend Hannah and would have her pet sit again.”
“John was amazing! Rover sitter extraordinaire. His place is perfect for active dogs and Walden got tons of ball throwing and activity time. John’s communication was great — clear info and support for pickup/drop off and fun pics throughout the stay. Thanks and we will be back in a future Burlington trip!”
“I was desperate to find a place for Abby, a 3 year old Shepherd mix with high anxiety and separation issues. I needed to find overnight care so I could help my parents move here from Beverly, MA. I was afraid of boarding as I've only had her 6 months and she came from a high kill shelter in TX. My fear was that she would regress in an overnight facility. She can go for a short day stay, but overnight would be stressful. Brooke was kind and understanding of her needs and issues. We did an overnight trial, and she kept me posted and sent me pictures with reports of how she was doing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Brooke to anyone- she went above and beyond and I will definitely be booking Abby for the time I need in the future!”
“Eva was amazing! She was incredibly quick to respond, very helpful and clear in all of our interactions, and most importantly, Daisy was very well cared for. I could tell she received lots of attention, love, and care while I was away. I'll be certain to first check with Eva whenever I'll be out of town again. Thanks so much!”
“Louis and Haley took amazing care of my aging pup. They were super caring and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt calm and relaxed during her stay. Thank you!”
“Rosan took such great care of our two dogs, and they were very happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Rosan was so flexible about our drop off and pick up times, and sent us lots of photos and updates over the weekend. I can’t recommend Rosan and his family strongly enough! 🐾🐾”
“Hannah was the best! She's so understanding. I drove up to Vermont to visit family & Gizmo had to stay with her. During drop off, she thoroughly went over everything he may need during his stay & at pick up, he was prepared & ready to go for our 5 hr drive back home. She sent pictures & provided updates. I can tell she truly treated him like her own. Gizmo was so happy during his stay. Hannah even sent him home with his favorite toy that he found at her house. I am so glad I was able to find her (it was last minute too) & we will absolutely be a returning client. Gizmo made a forever friend in Vermont. Thank you so much!”
“Ruchi took such wonderful care of Fred and gave us lots of updates. He really enjoyed her lovely fenced in yard! Can’t wait to book with her again! We can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jackie and Jing were awesome to work with! They communicated quickly consistently and provided tons of videos and photos so we knew Kalea was having a blast in their huge fenced yard. Thanks again!”
“Christina was accommodating and friendly with boarding for our 1 year old dog. We were in a tricky spot when an urgent trip arose, but Christina was great to work with. She sent regular photo updates which gave us peace of mind. Thanks again, Christina!”

Nu was awesome! She watched our two dogs while we headed to Canada. She was incredibly kind, communicative, and compassionate while taking care of Jack and Pongo. Nu kept us informed with fun photos of activities while asking questions in order to tend to the dogs’ needs. Highly recommend to any dog owner 🙂
Jyotidipta and his family took great care of our dog Eddie after a last-minute weekend trip request. Great communication. Their house is in an awesome neighborhood for a dog, with a yard and trails around. Hopefully Eddie will get to go back again soon because I'm sure he loved it. Thanks!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of South Burlington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which South Burlington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their South Burlington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your South Burlington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your South Burlington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
