“Daisha and her husband were amazing!! My dog Xena does best in a household where she is the only dog and I’m so glad we found Daisha! We did a first introduction about a week or two before the dates booked so they could meet and get familiar with each other which went well. While Xena was boarded they sent pictures and updates at least once a day explaining how she was doing and adjusting. Thankfully Xena was comfortable and there were no problems but I’m certain if there was, we would be able to find a solution. Overall I am extremely happy I booked with Daisha and her husband and would definitely book again!!”
“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!”
“We went to Hawaii for 7 days and Maria watch our two small dogs (shih tzu and mini schnauzer) for 8 days total while we were away. The dogs were well taken care of and walked more than they normally do at home. Maria sent pictures daily. Since this was their 2nd stay with her, i had no worries at all and just enjoyed our vacation. It was easy to drop off and pick up our dogs as well. Thanks Maria!!!”
“I highly recommend Molly for dog sitting in her home. She did everything possible to ensure my anxious Chihuahua was happy and comfortable. He ended up having a great time! We will definitely book with her again.”
“Millie had another fantastic sleep away camp experience with Nikko and co. She truly did not want to leave at the end! The videos and photos we always receive makes me 100% confident that she is so loved during her time with Maria and Kalyan. And she LOVES Nikko and all the other daycare visitors she gets to meet. A big thank you as always!”
“Kirsten was amazing with our pups! The dogs had such a blast, we could tell from the pics that she sent :) Plus, the dogs were totally pooped when we picked them up (a sign of a great time!).”
“Colleen and her husband were perfect. It’s clear they understand dogs and know how to make them feel comfortable. Odin enjoyed our initial visit, and when we came back two months later for the drop off it was clear he was excited and happy to be there. We will absolutely ask them to watch Odin again.”
“Thank you for taking excellent care of Plum!! It was a big help knowing she was in great hands with people who care about her. She’s looking forward to returning! Thank you!”
“Ashley took awesome care of and provided a calm, happy environment for my animal-reactive senior pittie while also rolling with my dog's developing medical/prescription needs in the leadup to her stay. Lots of updates and snuggle photos let me know my girl was well loved while I was gone for the week. Very grateful for such quality care and will definitely be reaching out for future boarding needs!”
“Rich, Daniel, and their sweet Westies took great care of our girl (seven-year-old Jack Russell mix) over the holidays. I appreciated the chance for a meet-and-greet in advance of our trip to make sure all the dogs got along, and while we were away Rich sent photos every day and let us know how she was settling in. Next time we need a safe and comfortable place for our pup to stay, he'll be our first call.”
About: Raised around dogs (and cats) and would love to care for your pets in my home or yours. Comfortable with senior dogs as well as others. I am retired and available any time. I would need a couple of days' notice, preferably. I live in an apartment with a beautiful dog-walking area and nearby parks to walk in. I no longer have pets of my own, having just lost my 17-year-old Rat Terrier. I am comfortable with all dogs and cats. I can administer medications and make sure they feel safe with me. I don't push, but let them come to me when they feel ready. Separation from you is anxiety-inducing, and I do my best to calm them and let them now they are not alone.
“Thank you. So. Much..... Jeremy. For. Having." Pomp " & sending me pictures. "Pomp" looked so at home. As he was at your house.. hope " pomp " can visit you Again. ??”
“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. 😊”
“This was the second time my dogs have stayed with Miriam. They had an incredible time. Miriam was responsive, caring and professional. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need.”
“Gretta had a lovely stay and was excited to return to compete for the most pets. Photo updates and timely/flexible communication made coordinating easy and less stressful thank you!”
“I’m extremely happy with Martha! She treated my son (dog) as one of her own, and I’m totally grateful for her service! ??♂️Her ability to manage your love one should not go unnoticed! I’m happy to have her in the area to take care of our little one in the future!”
“Jennifer is so kind sweet and accommodating. She was able to get us in quickly for a meet and greet before we left Baloo for several days with her overnight. She is quick in responding and genuinely cares about all the dogs she sits for and thoughtful of how may she can manage at a time.”
“After the first Rover boarding with someone else didn’t go so well, we weren’t sure how things will turn out this time around. However, Kimiko exceeded our expectation and we are convinced by now that she is a dog whisperer. She is loving, caring, patient, fun, understanding, reliable, responsive, knowledgable, and everything you’d look for in a carer for your pup(s). The way she communicates with us dog parents is truly professional, and our pups had an amazing stay with her and her fur babies based on pictures/videos/updates she would send us through out the stay. I feel like we found someone who not only we can trust but also our pups feel comfortable and safe being around. Thank you, Kimiko!♥️”

Raul and Alejandra are top notch watchers! Excellent communication and our dogs truly seemed to relax quickly and enjoy their stay. I slept well at night knowing Moose and Zula were being cared for by such kind and compassionate people! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dogs with them again.
Maria and Kalyan continue to be the absolute best!! Every time we drop Millie off, she sprints inside and doesn’t look back! They treat her as their own, and Nikko is perfect gentleman sharing his toys, couch, and friends. We love Maria and Kalyan and so does Millie!!! If you’re looking for a sitter that will welcome your pup into their family, this is it!
It was immediately evident, that Molly was a lover of all fur babies, and I knew our girl would be in good hands. She is a prompt and reliable communicator, who sent several pics during our pups stay. Her property is a pups dream, fully fenced and lots of space to romp, explore and get some energy out! We will certainly consider Molly for future needs!
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!
Maria was wonderful! I get very anxious when I have to leave my little man with someone, but she put me at ease as soon as we met. She sent lots of pictures and took great care of him. He has strong separation anxiety, but when I picked him up, he was calmer than he's ever been after I've been away, so I know he was comfortable with her. I will 100% book her again, and would recommend her to to anyone!
Kathy is the most thoughtful, dedicated and kind sitter ever. She was so careful, attentive and considerate in her care. She took the time to get to know me and ask questions about my dog and her preferences and any special attention she may need to ensure MacKintosh got the best care and felt at home from the start. From the moment she welcomed us to her home with an adorable sign, and the way she was so warm and gentle with introducing my dog to her dog, everything was so thoughtful and intentional. Also, the backyard is not only beautiful but a dream come true for a little doggie. As soon as MacKintosh got there, she was running around and playing with Kathy and her dogs and MacKintosh had the loveliest time. When I picked her up, she was so relaxed and happy and not anxious in the slightest, and it was clear that my dog was loved and cared for with warmth and kindness. I could not recommend Kathy and her husband enough. I will definitely be coming back to her time and again. <3
I would leave ten stars if I could! We had such a wonderful experience with Alexis sitting our two dogs Reba and Rascal. Alexis was able to accommodate a super last minute request and was very flexible and gracious in working with us as our plans evolved. She was extremely responsive, very thorough and professional. She pampered Reba and Rascal, giving them tons of attention, walks, play time, even hand-feeding Rascal when he was uncertain about his breakfast. She sent detailed updates and great photos and was just an absolute pleasure to work with. We enjoyed our trip that much more knowing the dogs were well cared for and having fun. Our dogs loved playing with Momo and after their stay they were calm and relaxed. They were in excellent hands with Alexis and Momo and we would love for them to stay with Alexis again in the future! Thank you!
Tyler and Alexis did a great job watching our anxious pup! They made sure he received the space he initially needs, and then once he warmed up met him at his comfort level. Overall I could tell my dog was very comfortable and we would definitely come back to have Tyler and Alexis watch Kenji again!
As always, my dogs had a great time staying at Kesorn's home! I received dozens of photos and daily updates, and responses were quick. My pups had tons of play time and walks including to a nearby dog park where they could really burn off some energy. This has been my go-to sitter for several years now, and for very good reason!

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.
