“Daisha and her husband are kind and welcoming! I knew my dogs were safe and comfortable. It was so helpful to have them stay with her. I loved the picture updates. I would highly recommend Daisha to friends and family who need a great home for their dogs to receive excellent care.”
“Ashley was a wonderful host to our aged Barkley. He seemed like his happy self when we picked him up. Thank you so much Ashley!! We would certainly use your services again!! The Topal Family”
“Ok so I am a little late in writing this review but after vacation one is always a little behind. Lea did such a great job taking care of my Cooper and he came home so happy and healthy. Will definitely use again...”
About: I am a lifelong dog lovers and work from home, so your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I share my home with one well-trained Weimaraner, age 5, I understand the importance of structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, exercise, and enrichment, and genuinely enjoy spending time training and engaging with dogs of all personalities. My home also includes our respectful 9-year-old child, creating a warm, family-oriented environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, or a calm routine, we’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Live right across the street from the SeaTac botanical gardens with many trails to go on adventures and get exercise. Just a minute away from SeaTac Airport. Work from home, and have plenty of time to play and give your pups attention throughout the day. Love going on walks after work at 3:30pm I have a fenced yard with plenty of room, and a friendly pup to keep yours company, love training, walking and cuddle time and can crate them if needed.
“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!”
“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!”
“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. 😊”
“Colleen went over and above with my very old dog, Hadji. Other guys can be quite a challenge, but when I picked him up after a week away, he was calm, rested, and happy. Thanks, Colleen, for taking such good care of my old boy!”
“Kizzie has a great setup at her place for cat boarding. She’s was very timely with communication, sent us photo and videos of our kitty throughout the stay, and helped us by dropping him off at the end. Will definitely board our cat with her again.”
“josh & Mario are the sweetest! I think they are Luna-bells favorite sitters she has had… they were both great with communicating things & setting up the meet and greet was smooth and easy. I got lots of pictures that helped with my dog mom anxiousness away from her!! Luna will love to have them both as her sitter in the future 😍 Thank you for carrying for my fur baby!”
“Alison is absolutely amazing! This was our first time using a Rover sitter we hadn’t previously met, and she immediately made us feel comfortable. She arranged a meet-and-greet at her house, showed us where Olive would be staying, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Alison kept in regular contact and sent multiple photos every day, which really put us at ease. She went out of her way to make sure Olive exercised and had lots of play time in addition to regular walks. Olive was so well cared for and happy, she didn’t want to go home! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using Alison’s services again in the future!”
“Leslie was truly amazing! Her communication was thorough before the weekend, and kept us updated through the weekend with videos and photos. She will be our first connection the next time we need a sitter. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our Ellie, Leslie. You are wonderful!”
“Meg and Daniel were WONDERFUL!! I have no doubt that Nola had the very best time while in their care. They proactively read other reviews from past sitters and were ready to make my dog feel at home as soon as she arrived. Their communication was great, and I also enjoyed getting to know them during drop-off and pick-up. Any time I need a sitter moving forward, I will definitely check to see if they're available!”
“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.”
“Omg, I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for Daria!!! She was incredibly caring and loving to our little Leo. She sent pictures, she took such good care of him, she gave him belly rubs, which he loves, and most of all, she helped him feel at home! I plan to use Daria every time we go away!”
“Bryan and Morris are my go-to sitters for my dog Pippa. Pippa gets excited when we pull up to their place. She is obviously comfortable there. The daily pictures are great and the feedback on how Pip is doing is reassuring. I know she is in good hands. I can enjoy my trip knowing she is well cared for.”
“My dog was taken very good care of. I loved seeing all the pic they shared. She had much to see and do. She got lots of love and attention. Thanks for taking such great care of her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
Vacation isn’t carefree unless we know our fur babies are well taken care of and happy. Stan and Ula is their home away from home for the last 9 years. They always come back happy and tired. We enjoy the photos Ulas sends. If you’re looking for a trusted sitter, seriously look no further, highly recommend! Thank You again!
Sarah and Ben are absolutely wonderful. They took great care of our dog, Vera. It was her first stay away without us, and she has separation anxiety. We had nothing to worry about. She was loved and spoiled and happy when we picked her up. They sent cute little videos and updates. I 100% recommend them and will definitely call them again if we need to go somewhere without Vera. Steph and Tony R.
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!
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 :)

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
92% 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burien. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
