About: I grew up with my family’s various rescue cats and dogs, so I’ve always been an animal lover. Since childhood, I’ve also enjoyed pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors whenever I’ve had the opportunity to do so. I have experience looking after cats and dogs, as well as birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, horses, and a couple of different types of lizards. I have some experience with training my/my family’s cats and dogs, and lots of experience with giving love to animals of all kinds! Because of my love for animals, I donate 10% of my proceeds from each Rover booking towards humane societies and animal rescue organizations. I’m currently a full-time college student, so I use the remainder of my Rover earnings to afford care for my own cat. During the school year, I’m a full-time student at the University of Vermont, and I love petsitting between classes. When I’m not in classes or doing Rover visits, I’m often spending time with my own cat! I spend most school breaks with my family in Illinois, and frequently petsit then too. I recognize that every animal is unique with their own personality and needs, and it’s important to me to ensure that your pet is as comfortable, happy, and healthy as they can be while you’re away! I’m happy to follow any instructions you have to care for your pet and your home. If there are any particular precautions you want me to take, or if there’s anything else I can help out with (e.g. bringing in mail, putting out trash cans, etc.) while you’re away, just ask!

About: I have had a dog all of my life. I love meeting new dogs and their owners. They teach us compassion, patience and love. I have taken care of senior dogs, one dog was 13 years old and lost his eyesight. I had an Old English Sheepdog and a cocker spaniel. I also took care of a Pug. I love dogs. I am currently retired. I am able to do morning and afternoon walks. The dogs is allowed to walk at their own pace. They can sniff and allowed to take a break if needed I walk with a harness. I stop periodically for focus and treats. The dogs are allowed to sniff and take in all of nature’s beauty.

About: I have been around pets my entire life, and I owe much of my knowledge of the little things that go into properly caring for them to my experience owning several pets myself (currently 3 dogs)! I have also had several years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their pets, both dogs and cats alike. I am experienced in adapting my care to suit different pet personalities. I am also very receptive to owner feedback and committed to providing a good experience for both you and your pet. Although I am new to this app, my past experiences are just as relevant, and I hope to meet some new pets and people in need of care around the area! While I am a full time college student, if I have a steady schedule set out for me I have the capacity to make daily trips for pet sitting if need be. I will be sure to be very prompt and communicative with any fluctuations in my routine as to better inform owners. While I cannot offer up care for pets in my apartment where pets aren’t allowed, I am more than willing to establish a trusted relationship with pet owners who are offering sitters to stay at their home. I will take the extra time to ensure they feel comfortable with having me there and that I will be respectful of their space. I will tailor my visits tightly to the owners instructions while filling in my experience in pet care along throughout the process to help ensure it is as smooth and stress free as possible for owners

About: I've had dogs since I was very little. Very comfortable with anything from small and anxious to big and jumpy. Currently have 2 cats at home, a very young senior and a old kitten. I am a full time graduate student with some intermittent periods of free time and am always looking to take a study break and go hang out with some pets. Im currently a Doctorate of Physical Therapy student at UVM. So whenever I'm not in class I'm free to spend it with your furry friend. Since I have cats, I always make sure my home is pet safe and there isn't anything around that could hurt them or get them sick.

Had a great experience booking daily walks for three days with Jenna. Had to book super last minute and she was kind enough to accept and be flexible with us. She provided a rover card for each walk showing how far and long they walked as well as if my dog pooped 1-2x which was rlly helpful for me. jenna also went the extra mile of feeding him and making sure he ate after his walks while also keeping him company for a good amount of time afterwards too. All of which was rlly appreciated, well communicated, and shows how much she cares! I also received a daily picture which I looked forward to everyday :) not many dog walkers would do all of this but she did. Also, it was rlly important that my dog goes on a 30 min walk once every 24 h or else he won’t eat and starts throwing up from starving himself and she responsibly did show up within the asked/ flexible time frame:) Would book another walk with her in the future

About: I work remotely for my full-time job, which allows me to be a reliable option for midday dog walks and in-home pet sitting. If you work in person or are traveling, I can be present during the day and in the evenings to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I grew up with a cockapoo and still care for him when my parents are traveling, especially now that he’s a older with a medical condition. That experience has made me attentive, patient, and very respectful of detailed care instructions. I also help care for and walk my brother’s large, high-energy young rescue dog, which has given me experience with exercise needs, structure, and understanding sensitivities that some rescue dogs may have. I’ve house sat for both dogs and cats and genuinely understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home. My lifestyle is calm and quiet, which works well for animals who thrive on consistency and steady care. My goal is always to give you peace of mind while giving your pet the attention and care they’re used to receiving. Because I work fully remote, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I can step away for quick check-ins or potty breaks, and I have a full lunch break for longer dog walks to help keep energy levels in check. I’m also happy to provide steady companionship for cats, including those who enjoy sitting nearby, or even on your lap, while I work. My flexible schedule makes me a great fit for house sitting any day of the week. I can stay in during the day and evenings, keeping your pet’s routine consistent. With a quiet personal life, I genuinely enjoy making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety in every aspect of pet care. While I don’t provide care at my own home, I focus on following your instructions closely, so I fully understand your pet’s needs, preferences, and routines. This helps me keep them safe and comfortable during walks, playtime, or while staying in your home. By paying careful attention to cues and routines, I can ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times.

About: Lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet sitter with hands-on expertise in administering medications, caring for senior pets, puppy training, and keeping anxious animals calm. Having cared for pets since I was young, I provide attentive, personalized attention to ensure your dogs and cats feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Working from home gives me the daily flexibility to adapt to your pet's routine whether that means regular mid-day walks, feeding schedules, or quick check-ins. I love giving pets the dedicated time and attention they need, and I can't wait to meet your furry family member! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine to keep them feeling safe, calm, and secure. Working from home allows me to give them continuous attention, keep up with their feeding and potty schedules, and provide plenty of exercise and companionship. I respect your property like my own, ensuring doors and gates are strictly secured, and I’ll send you regular photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Although I haven't owned a dog myself, I've spent years helping neighbors and friends by feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for their pets while they were away. I've also house sat for a home with three cats, making sure they stayed on their normal routine and received plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I take the time to learn their routine and follow your instructions carefully. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or just sticking to a familiar schedule, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details, and I know how important it is to keep pet owners updated. I'll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. I enjoy spending time with animals, so I make sure each visit includes plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, or quiet companionship based on your pet's needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I'll do my best to maintain their regular routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise routines, and any household rules you've established. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks unless in a designated enclosed area, and I pay close attention to their surroundings to keep them safe. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and work to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs throughout my life, personally owning a large Newfoundland and an Australian Cattle dog, so I have experience dealing with extremely high and low energy breeds. Im a life long animal lover who is currently pursuing my undergraduate in Animal Sciences with a focus on pre veterinarian medicine. In the past Ive dealt more with larger zoo animals like wolves and lynx's but Im always a sucker for some cute dogs. Im currently working mid week, Im available for boarding at any time however during M,T,Th,F bathroom breaks will be limited to 4-8 hours. During weekends and Wednesdays Ill be available to give your furry friends all the attention they need throughout the day. I live in a condo with no designated yard however there is an unfenced yard available for use and dogs will be taken on frequent walks, at least 2 times a day but this varies on your dogs needs. Im open to all dog sitting styles so if you like your dog crated at night or left to roam around just let me know. If your dog has specific preferences or needs please just specify before dropping them off.

About: I’ve been caring for my roommates, friends and family pets for at least 6 years. From Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have the most expense with cats as I have my own and crew up with them my whole life. I grew up having animals whether it be fish, lizards, birds, cats cor dogs. I’ve always had a love for animals. Most of my roommates since moving to Denver have had dogs so I’ve had experience taking care of dogs of all sizes through my roomies. Im a flight attendant so I usually know my full month’s schedule on the 17th of the previous month. I can take on day before request usually within a day or more notice. Weekends require additional notice as they are not as common for me. I can come visit as early as 11am and as late as 5pm. I can be flexible depending on my schedule My pets in my own home are spoiled with love and toys and attention. I respect animals boundaries and have patience for my shy animals. I love hikes, walks, pets, and play time with furry friends. When roommates were out of towns I’d take care of feeding, walking and caring for their fur babies while they were gone.

Casey did a wonderful job walking our dog Jax while I was away on a five-day business trip. Her help was a huge support to my wife while I was gone, and we really appreciated having someone so dependable caring for Jax each day. It quickly became clear how much Jax liked and trusted Casey. He figured out when she would arrive and would sit by the window looking out expectantly for her each day. Casey was great to work with from start to finish. She came to our house beforehand for a meet-and-greet with Jax, and she provided thoughtful updates after every walk. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Jax was so happy and well cared for. We would gladly work with Casey again and highly recommend her.

Gabrielle is kind, reliable, communicative and clearly has a natural way with dogs. My dog felt comfortable with her right away, which says something because he can be wary of new people. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. Gabrielle went above and beyond and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. At the end, my dog wanted to stay with her…the ultimate endorsement!

FAQs for Dog Walking - South Burlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in South Burlington on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 601 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across South Burlington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your South Burlington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in South Burlington.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Burlington. On Rover:

  • 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
