About: I am trained in animal welfare by AZA accredited institution, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I am ready to help active dogs burn off energy with walks, run, and play. I am a long time pet owner and my first dog care experience came from my pet cockapoo "Felix". I base my daily and weekly routine around the wants and needs of the animals I am caring for to ensure their comfort and wellbeing. I keep pets comfortable by providing care in their own homes, following their routines exactly as instructed and communicating with owners as needed or wanted. On walks or trips to parks, I ensure safety with double checking leashes, getting to know the pets temperament, and staying cautious.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8, from newborn puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I love playing fetch, cuddling on the couch for quiet time as well as running around together in the terraced backyard. If you’re looking for a mini summer camp for your pup, no matter their size or age, you’ve found the right place! I work from home as an artist with 2 small dogs that love meeting new friends! I’m home Monday- Friday and several weekends each month. I also have a separate living room for your cat where it will have the run of the place without other pets. I don’t have children, I have dogs. They sleep in the bedroom and I take them everywhere; camping, roadtrips, and I’ve even taken them abroad with me for vacation!
About: I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals! I currently work week days but I am free in the afternoon and evenings Monday-Friday starting at 3:30pm and have open flexibility on most Federal Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.
“Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.”
About: At home, I’ve got a senior papillon (small dog) mix and a senior short hair cat. We just lost our oldest cat at the ripe age of 20 years old, so I’ve got some extra love to dote on your pets these days. I have special experience with senior pets and especially cats with diabetes and cancer. Both our cats were diabetic and I know about all their special care needs from blood glucose testing and insulin administration to their special requirements for diet, water intake, and litter box use. Our 15-year-old cat has cancer and I'm trained in administering oral chemo therapy with all of its specific handling requirements. It's hard enough to be away from your pets, but with conditions like these, it can make travel feel nearly impossible. I'm ready to put my experience to work for you, so you can rest assured that your babies will be well-cared for and that their special needs will be taken care of by someone with experience. I am available in the mornings, evenings, and overnight seven days a week. I'm frequently available for bonus midday visits on weekdays as well. I’ll take care of your pets in the space they know best and feel safest - their own home. I'll provide pictures and/or videos to the pet parents so that they can see that their pets are safe and happy. While at your home, I can also take on any plant watering schedules you might have.
About: I have a lot of experience working with dogs, cats, caring for elderly pets, and providing daily medication/injections. I can help to maintain the routine and love they are used to, so they will not feel alone while you are away. I accept last minute requests and will make it happen if I can. If I show unavailable for a house sitting request please message me directly. You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your pets like one of my own. I know what questions to ask to make sure I understand their specific needs. ***I am available for dog walks, house sitting, and even drop ins and will take last minute requests when possible *** You can depend on me to provide excellent service and to take great care of your pets like one of my own.

“Our elderly cat warmed right up to Emma who was responsive and communicative, she did a good job following the elderly cat medication plan, We plan to book Emma next time we need a cat sitter.”
About: I have been working with animals my entire life. I went to college for veterinary medicine and in my free time, I helped train service dogs. I've worked with every kind of animal and every age! From livestock, to dogs, to exotic animals - I've worked with them all! I work part time, so I have plenty of time for your pets needs! Most of my work can also be done from home and picked up on an as needed basis. I have a fenced yard, a dog, and 2 cats that are very used to every kind of pet. My dog is extremely friendly and always ready to play with a friend! I will always make sure to leave your space clean and your pet cared for.
About: Have taken care of pets in recent years And administered medicine to late “father” to two wonderful kitties. Very caring for all forms of life. Usually on my project sites 4 days during work week. Pet care would be before and after work on these days. Weekends and the one day I work from home (usually Monday or Friday) would be full attention. I like in a 1,500 sf home with a fenced yard. The pets are welcome to roam freely wherever they’d like both inside and out!
“Hayley was an excellent sitter for my cat! I’m always nervous when I’m away, but Hayley’s communication and photo updates really put my anxiety at ease. She was punctual, clean, and did a great job administering my cat’s medicine. She used the remaining appointment time to play with my cat, so she was nice and tuckered out by the time I got home. I would 100% recommend her services!”
About: I grew up with cats and have always been a true cat person. I currently have two cats, Tifa and Vincent. Tifa came with me from Thailand, while Vincent was adopted from a shelter. I understand that every cat has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets properly. I can accommodate regular visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the week. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep doors and windows secure, maintain a clean environment, and give pets the space and attention they are comfortable with. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
Joy was fantastic with Tesla while we were away! She sent thorough, regular updates and photos, making sure Tesla got plenty of playtime, attention, and her favorite treats. She took great care of everything around the house—keeping the food, water, and litter pristine—and even went the extra mile to take our garbage bin out to the curb on collection day. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing Tesla was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend Joy and will definitely be booking her again!
Erin went above and beyond with our energetic pup, Banjo and our kitty, Pickle. She enthusiastically took the job when our other sitter canceled last minute, updated us with each visit, and made sure our furry friends got all the attention they needed while we were away. We will definitely ask for her pet sitting again in the future!
London is highly dependable. She came twice a day for the last 12days to let my cat out and back in the house while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and questions, and went the extra mile (or couple blocks) to try and find my cat when she hadn’t returned for the day. We really appreciate London and hope she’s available the next time we need someone.
Tyler and Alexis are by far my favorite pet sitters! Tyler went above and beyond taking care of my elderly cat Jazzy. He sent many pictures of her and details of what he did to make sure that she got all of her meds, was kept clean, happy and even played with her-all while keeping her litter boxes clean and followed my detailed instructions. Thank you Tyler for such a great job and peace of mind on my vacation. I will be hiring you again for sure!!
We booked Paul to do drop in visits for my two cats while we were away on a trip. Paul was amazing with our cats! He was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and made sure our cats were happy and well cared for while we were away. Everything was left clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be booking Paul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Ana took incredible care of our girls on short notice! She made sure everything was taken care of and took the time to play and love on them while we were gone. They really seemed to warm up to her quickly and enjoy being around her. She even stayed long one day after one of the girls ate a small piece of string during play time to make sure she was ok. We couldn’t have hoped for someone better!
Jeannie goes above and beyond. I can’t say that enough. She took such good care of our kitty!! She’s played games with her and gave her so much love and attention. She also did extra things while we were away, even asked if she could take the trash out for us on trash day! She’l thinks of everything and is so thoughtful! It didn’t take long for our cat to warm up to her and we feel so much better about leaving knowing our cat is under the care of Jeannie. Thank you Jeannie!!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Burien is $30 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 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.

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.
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.
