“Wonderful experience! We had never used Rover before and had to arrange care for Sadie at the last minute - Nicolas & family were quick to respond, took great care of our dog, and were so flexible around timing! Highly recommend!”
“My Inuka had a wonderful day - played with Echo and came home tired and happy. Jacob was so kind and accomodating when I dropped my baby off at 6AM. Really grateful for the warm care.”
“My first experience with Rover with John was unbelievably perfect. John sent pictures and videos, gave exercise to my puppy for two days of daycare, and both days Honey came back exhausted and happy! John’s family helped to keep an eye on Honey too, while the pups were a perfect match for her. I HIGHLY recommend john to anyone who needs help watching their dog!”
“Louis & Haley put Archie at ease right away with their calm, welcoming manner. It was his first visit and I left him for 3.5 hours. He was calm and happy when I picked him up. I know he would be happy to go back and hang with them again.”
“We had a very very last minute need for a dog sitter and we were so fortunate to find Pete and Alex. They communicated so well and were so pleasant and welcoming! Leo had the absolute best time and came home tired out!”
“Hannah was amazing with our pup!! We scheduled last minute and she was super friendly and nice with the whole process! And gave us updates on our dog! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and have experience helping to train them. Over the years, I've also pet-sat for numerous dogs and cats. In high school, I briefly worked at a veterinary clinic, which deepened my love and appreciation for animals. I truly enjoy caring for all kinds of animals! I currently work flexible hours, mostly in the afternoons and evenings, so I have plenty of time during the day to help with your pet care needs: whether it’s feeding, playing, walking, or just keeping them company. I’ll make sure to care for your pet just the way you want. I know everyone has their own preferences, so I’m happy to work with whatever specific needs or routines you have.
“The best! As always. Maple is shy and very attached and Rosan updated me with pictures and has continued to make Maple feel at home. Above and beyond every time! Thank you Rosan!”
“Hannah was so great with my puppy Tucker! She provided frequent updates w/pics, has the sweetest dog who got to play with him & now he is happily sound asleep after such a great day!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! In high school, I started a dog walking and pet sitting business through a class, it was an amazing experience and I absolutely loved it. Getting to know each dog’s personality and building relationships with both pets and their owners was incredibly rewarding! After that, I stepped away for a few years to help care for my grandparents full-time. Now I’m slowly getting back into working and doing something I truly enjoy. I’m excited to meet some amazing dogs, and providing them with lots of fun and attention they deserve, and help provide peace of mind for their owners while they’re away! Im currently working part time 20-30 hours as a manager at Walgreens! The hours mostly are just consistent to nighttime but I can always try my best to figure out scheduling with them to work with what you and your doggos will need!! I have a small front yard and small back porch! 2 floor house! Mostly looking to be able to either go out with dogs on walks or take them out places for fun or sit and stay with them at there place as needed but I work with all!
About: Dog-obsessed 27-year-old with a lifetime of experience. I grew up with five dogs and adopted my own rescue pup Callie a few years ago — so I know dogs, and I know what it's like to trust someone else with yours. I'll take your pup on sniff-led walks, set up treat scavenger hunts, send you tons of photos (if you want), and give your dog the best staycation ever while you're away. I'm home most of the day, I respond fast, and your dog will be treated like royalty. Active pup? I'm a runner and biker training for an Ironman — happy to take them on real adventures. Your dog will be treated like family, because dogs ARE the family. I have a very flexible schedule currently. My schedule on Rover is always up to date! I love to walk every day, and I’d much rather walk with a cute doggo! I live in a home in with a fenced in yard. I also have tons of space and dogs are always allowed on the furniture!!!
“Great day care for my dog! Really appreciated the pictures throughout the day. Sounds like she had a nice time and was comforted while I was away. Thank you for the flexibility of pick up time.”
“Chad has been taking care of Aspen since she was about 4 or 5 months old. He has worked with her and myself on her reactivity and meeting other dogs and strangers. I believe he saved my dog and I. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her. I followed him to Rover from the daycare he essentially started and was forced to shut down. And I will follow him when he starts his own. He is trustworthy, reliable, kind, compassionate and SO intelligent and well educated on dog behavior and body language. Aspen loves her days with Chad and she is wiped out until the next day!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. For over 40 years, I've raised puppies and kitties into well-behaved, loved members of my family. I have some experience giving medicine and training. I work from home 4 days of the work week and even on the day that I’m away, pets are never left alone for more than 5-6 hours a day, which is rare at that. I walk our dog daily and there is plenty of time to go out and play in a fenced yard multiples times during the day. As mentioned above, we lets our dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise and they are rarely alone for long stretches at a time. If I'm taking care of a pet in their own home, those pets can get walks and regular visits based on their needs.
“I left my little dog with Christina for a few hours, and the experience was fantastic. Christina is very comfortable with dogs and engaged with mine immediately. She took excellent care of my dog, providing pictures and updates throughout the stay, and always responded promptly in our communications. I highly recommend Christina as a wonderful host.”
“Eva was able to accommodate us at such late notice, and went out of her way to pick my boy up because we were unable to get to her. Rowan came back tired and content and we will definitely be bringing Rowan back!”
“Alma was very accommodating to our itinerary while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our two Pomeranians. We’d definitely use her again to care for our dogs on our next ski trip.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Burlington
They were super responsive and able to watch my dog at the last minute. In addition, they were definitely very attentive to his needs and took him for both a long walk in the woods and set up a play date for him. I would highly recommend and definitely use them if I’m in the area again.
Mary was an amazing sitter for our dog, George. He’s a bit scared of new people, but he felt comfortable around Mary immediately. He received walks each day, and we could tell he had a lot of fun based on how tired he was when he got home. We will definitely reach out to her to watch our dog again any time we are in Burlington!
Darian is awesome. She's dogsat Frida a bunch of times this winter, and she takes great care of her, takes her for walks, and feeds her when I'm out during meal times. She's communicative, on time, and always keeps me up to date on how the day is going, which is so great for peace of mind. Very happy and grateful that's she's able to watch Frida!
Hannah was amazing with Hoover! So much so, that that when we went back another day, he did not pull to to go in the opposite direction, and was actually ok with being left with her. I hope that if we are there again, she will be available. She is absolutely wonderful!!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your South Burlington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 119 sitters in South Burlington, 90% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
