“Maria was outstanding. We appreciate her so much. Rumi had a wonderful stay. We highly recommend Maria for those with small dogs; she knows how to care for them, and her place is so clean and perfect.”
“Kirsten is the best and our pup CJ loves staying with her family! She is very thoughtful, very caring, and sends the cutest pictures. We love having her as our Rover!”
“Lindsay (and her wonderful family) is our go to sitter for our mini schnauzer since she was a tiny pup. The whole family including their kiddos and dogs takes great care of our dog. Our Luna gets a lot of play time in their awesome backyard and their location near the airport makes things so convenient for us when we go out of town.”
“We used Jennifer for boarding our dog and on the first night our dog started having some serious medical issues. Jennifer was very proactive about contacting me to let me know what was going on and sending pictures. My sister in-law ended up picking up my dog to take her to the vet and was able to work with Jennifer to arrange a pick up time. Since our time was cut short Jennifer was also proactive about helping me get a refund for the partial stay. Jennifer went above and beyond what I expected and I am very grateful! I am hoping to use her again in the future.”
“Sarah and her husband were great sitters for Atlas. She sent photos and videos of her enjoying herself and responded to messages promptly. Would definitely allow them to watch her again”
“We've left our Australian shepherd with Martha several times and she always comes back happy and healthy. Martha's got kids and dogs to play with our dog in what looks like a very nice environment.”
“After reading dozens of profiles and hundreds of reviews, we decided to go with Richard and we are so happy we did! He has taken care of our whippet a couple of short days and then we left her with him for this past weekend when we went out of town. Richard did an amazing job of keeping us updated with lots of messages and photos, which put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time away. He clearly loves dogs and showers them with affection and attention. He is a great communicator, has a wonderful home and yard, and his two little dogs, Beans and Rizzo are adorable and welcoming. We highly recommend Richard and most definitely will be a repeat client!!!”
“Ashley was awesome! I had major oral surgery and needed him cared for so I could heal without having to worry about my dogs care and she took such good care of my migi and sent me lots of updates and photos in the 6 nights she had him. She was very accommodating as well when we needed to change or do things differently in migi’s favor. Will def book her again in the future! Highly recommend 10/10.”
“Andre watched our two golden retriever babies last minute after we had to find alternate plans for the dogs right before we flew out on vacation. We are so appreciative of her! She took great care of them daily, sent us photos, played with them and was a great sitter. Highly recommend and we’d hire her again any day!”
“Daisha and Tam took such wonderful care of my senior pup. They were patient and attentive, making sure my pup with limited vision was safe around their home. They sent multiple photos and updates each day, keeping my mind at ease. Thank you both!”
“Abby was amazing! Was such a last minute booking and I was so nervous. Did a meet and greet first and Batman and her got along great. She eased all my worries. Sent me update videos and photos all the time! Will definitely reach out to her again. 😊”
“I had to book Jeremy at the last minute when my regular sitter had an emergency. He completely came through for me. My dog had a blast and I had peace of mind with regular updates. The set up he has is perfect for active dogs. My boy came back happy and exhausted from all the running and playing!”
“This was the first time they watched our girl Kira and they made the whole experience positive. They sent multiple updates and videos each day, took her on so many walks, and even brushed her and took her to get a new toy. You can tell how much they love animals. Will definitely be booking again!”
“It was my first time using Rover, and I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with Chuk. She sent daily updates and was responsive to all my questions. I had to drop my dog off early in the morning and pick her up late at night, which can be challenging, but she was incredibly flexible with the timing. Thank you so much!”
“Joe was wonderful with our pitbull and shih tzu! He was thoughtful, communicative, and attentive both before and during their care. He gave them plenty of walks, made sure they were comfortable, and kept us updated with pictures and messages. Joe was also very flexible and accommodating, which gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“Colleen and her husband were top notch in every way! We have a nervous girl and they were communicative, patient, and flexible with her needs. Big yard and a lovely home, Would definitely book again 🙌🙌🙌”

Kathy was the best. I was gone for 7 days and never worried about my dog. She providing twice daily updates with multiple pictures. Very accommodating and let my boy sleep on her bed, just like at home! I highly recommend Kathy with her beautiful yard and generous care she gave my boy and me. Thank you Kathy. We will see you again for sure.
I’m so thankful to have found Lindsey and her family to watch my dog, Otto, while I was away. The whole family provided so much love and fun for Otto that I’m not sure he wanted to come home! He also made some dog friends along the way. I will definitely be going to Lindsey in the future. :)
I just don’t know if our babies can go anywhere on their “vacation” aside from Stan and Ulas. They always come back so happy and I love seeing the pictures of their beautiful yard with them running around and playing. Stan and Ula are wonderful people and I highly recommend them!
I had to book Jeremy at the last minute when my regular sitter had an emergency. He completely came through for me. My dog had a blast and I had peace of mind with regular updates. The set up he has is perfect for active dogs. My boy came back happy and exhausted from all the running and playing!
Tamar and Amy K. exceeded my expectations when taking care of Toby. I am new to the area and needed someone to watch Toby for a long extended trip. They were so flexible with me and answered all of my questions. They even let me visit and sneak in a quick day care session for Toby before his longer stay. They value safety for the dogs and social time and sent me pictures every day. It was nice knowing he was cared for and socializing while I was gone. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Everyone who works with them truly cares about the dogs and I know Toby is looking forward to going back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Burien on Rover is $50 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,784 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
91% of Burien 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 Burien 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 Burien 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 Burien.
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 Burien 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 WA 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.
