A burst hose, to me implies a slow or massive leak, running all the time. Something wrong with the dishwasher would imply a leak that occurs when the dishwasher is running.
From your original post it sounds like a burst feed hose that leaks constantly. If this is the case, and you have the inclination, the hook up is usually behind a plate on the bottom front of the dishwasher. Remove this plate and look. Depending on how old the unit is it could be a hand fitting on the hose or you could need a wrench, but it's probably not that hard to remove. Just make sure the water is turned off.
If you want someone to repair it, I would find a handy man who is probably going to be the least expensive. Plus after this initial contact you will have someone you can call to fix stuff. Plumbers are also great, but they cost more and some may not come out for a job like this.
