“Molly was great! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the day. One of our boys is slow to warm up and can be grumbly/barky with new people and she was very patient with him and both dogs seemed to have a great time!”
“We’ve had two great stays with Joe! Bobbie and Kiko are officially buddies now, and it’s so fun knowing she has a friend to wrestle and play with. Joe is very responsive whenever I reach out, and I feel completely comfortable leaving Bobbie in his care. We’ve loved our experience and will definitely keep booking with Joe and Kiko!”
“Kirsten was wonderful! She was calm, experienced, and reassuring from introduction to pickup—everything an anxious dog mom needs. I could tell my girl had a great time meeting new friends and was well cared for! She’s a social pup, so it was comforting to know she had a whole pack (dog and human) to be with. Thank you!”
“Maria and Kalyan continue to be amazing - our dog recently had a knee issue that meant she needed to stay calm and only walk to go to the bathroom. They easily accommodated her with mental stimulation through toys and treats and kept her happy and calm. Their detailed updates always leave me relaxed and anxiety free! We’re already booked for a longer stay. Thank you, Maria, Kalyan, and Nikko!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we were thrilled with the experience! Richard took great care of our 6mos old puppy and sent frequent updates so we didn’t need to worry how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We had a great experience boarding our dog, Argos, for four nights. Communication was easy from start to finish, and Roya was always responsive and kept us updated. Most importantly, Argos came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with Roya again and highly recommend them!”
“Qi was a great & responsive host! Pepper got to play with other dogs & passed out when he got home. She was very patient with Pepper through his puppy shenanigans, as well. I appreciate Qi’s last minute availability which allowed me to get away for a quick weekend for July 4th. Will book again.”
“Melissa & Kyle are great! This was my first time using Rover and I am beyond impressed! We have two bulldogs who can be a lot to care for. They came home clean, worn out, and happy. Can’t ask for anything more! I recommend these two to anyone, they exceeded our expectations and we will use them again.”
“Another phenomenal stay with Kizzie! She made sure our kitty felt safe and loved by spending lots of time with her. Hildy was clearly very content during her time there. We’ll definitely be a repeat customer!”
“This is my second go around with Leslie she’s kind and prompt and you can tell she really loved what’s she’s doing. The care she has shown my animal has been a contributing factor on me writing this review as well as trusting her deeply with my baby. My lala loves going over there and her space is clean and open and wants you to feel the most comfortable always. I’m a forever customer ♥️”
“David and Betty were wonderful caretakers of our young Boston. We received photos and short videos throughout his stay with them and was very thoughtful. They were very considerate and loving with our Boston. We are looking forward to having our Boston visit them in the near future.”
“Meredith is super sweet! Her and her dog Edgar made sure my dog Scrappy was comfortable. My baby had a blast playing with Edgar and cuddling with Meredith! She is a great communicator and would send me pictures! I will definitely be leaving scrappy with them again!”
“I always worry about my pup when I’m away. He’s older and requires medication. Deborah did a fantastic job with him and provided updates everyday. She took great care of him and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog was well taken care of while we were away and came back to us happy and tired. Aaron and his partner were very kind and communicative. Would definitely book again!”
“Elise and James were wonderful! We started with a lovely meet and greet so my anxious dog could get to know them and sniff their house before staying there for a few days. And while my dog was there they gave me plenty of photos and updates as to how she was doing. Will absolutely let my pup have another vacation with Elise and James!”
“Daria was fantastic. Very responsive, we received many pictures and updstes throughout our pups stay. From the moment our dog walked through the door she was welcomed and I felt 100% confident that are dog would be well looked after. 10 out of would use Daria's services again.”

Erin was incredible! She took care of our puppy for several nights and she is such a wonderful communicator. Erin took our puppy for several walks, let her play with other pups and her cat, and overall provided a safe and fun environment. This was our second time booking with Erin. Highly recommend!
Meredith took wonderful care of my two dogs. One of them is very shy and needs some extra patience, but he warmed up and seemed comfortable there quickly. She was great to work with through the whole process. I'd be happy to bring my dogs back again and would definitely recommend her to others!
Maria and Kalyan were very kind and attentive during my dog Levi’s first overnight stay. They ask good questions to make sure they understood Levi’s needs and behaviors. They sent me multiple updates with pictures on their activities and how my dog was responding, which really out my mind at ease during my trip. I will definitely be rebooking with them!
We’ve had two great stays with Joe! Bobbie and Kiko are officially buddies now, and it’s so fun knowing she has a friend to wrestle and play with. Joe is very responsive whenever I reach out, and I feel completely comfortable leaving Bobbie in his care. We’ve loved our experience and will definitely keep booking with Joe and Kiko!
Ashley was awesome! Great communication throughout the process. Very flexible with our change in schedule as well. We have an energetic Aussie and a slow moving 14 year old Lab-mix. Ashley had no problem navigating the high energy and slow paced of our pups. I highly recommend Ashley.
I’m incredibly grateful to Justin for accommodating my last-minute boarding request for my two fur babies, Asa and Linda! As any pet parent knows, leaving your babies in someone else's care can be nerve-wracking, especially for the first time. From our initial meet-and-greet, Justin's calm, confident, and down-to-earth personality helped put my mind at ease. He was very comfortable handling my two large dogs and provided a peaceful, welcoming environment with a beautiful, spacious backyard for them to enjoy. What I appreciated most was his flexibility, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond to accommodate my needs on such short notice. Knowing my babies were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away meant everything to me. Justin truly came through when I needed him most, and I couldn't be more thankful. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️🐾
Molly was wonderful and we would absolutely recommend her services to anyone who wants to rest assured that their fur babies are well cared for. We reached out less than a week before a trip that we weren’t sure we would be able to take. She was flexible both with our last minute booking and a meet and greet to ensure a good fit. While our two dogs were with her we received daily pictures and updates; we loved seeing what a good time they had! We will definitely reach out again for future dog sitting needs :)
😍 10/10 would recommend Kathy as a dog sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our furry baby felt loved and cared for while we were away. Her home is gorgeous and welcoming, and Kathy treated our dog like one of her own. She's super communicative, sending us updates and pics that put our minds at ease. Organized and responsible, too - we'd trust her with our pup (and our keys) in a heartbeat. If you're looking for someone to give your pet the TLC they deserve, Kathy is your girl! 💕
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Burien is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $83 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 5,752 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Burien can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Burien home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
