About: I have been caring for a wide range of pets since I was 10 years old, growing up with dogs, cats, and Guinea pigs. As a kid I would frequently walk neighbors dogs and look after pets when my neighbors were away. My love for animals led me to volunteer at a veterinary hospital when I was 14, which turned into a job at 16. I have 8 years experience working with a local vet and 30 years experience as a pet caretaker and owner. Our family currently has our big boy, Bear. He is a calm and patient 8 year old 150lb silver lab with food allergies and other medical needs, so we have experience in administering oral, topical and injectable medications, as well as dealing with dietary restrictions. We look forward to caring for your dog! We are an active family, so multiple walks a day are standard. I work from home, so we are always around to give your doggo the love and care they deserve. Our home is situated in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end street close by multiple parks. We have a secure, fully fenced 3500 square foot backyard with access into the house through a dog door. Our dog is fed twice a day, but can accommodate any feeding/potty break schedule your dog has.
“I was so lucky to be able to book John very last minute over the holiday, and he was a wonderful sitter! My 3 kitties took a liking to him immediately, and he gave them lots of individual attention. When I accidentally ran of litter while being gone, he even generously brought some over! I got tons of pics and videos that made me feel so at ease while being gone. I would absolutely book him again!”
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!
“Tania communicated with photos and a cute response as she took care of my dog for a few days. She is respectful and that she asked permission to take my dog out for a car ride… Looking forward to take care of my dog in the future🫶🏽”
“Francesca is amazing! She not only checked in on our baby but spent time helping her to learn commands! Cupcakke loves her and we will use her any time she is available! Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a proud Corgi owner with over 5 years of pet care experience. Caring for my own dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving every pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I’m currently focused on my studies, so I have flexible availability built around my school schedule including weekdays and weekends. I can handle feeding, walks, playtime, and litter/potty routines at whatever times work best for you, including early mornings or evenings. My home has a fully fenced yard, safe for pets to roam freely. I have two friendly dogs who are well-socialized and used to sharing space with other pets, and I always supervise introductions to make sure everyone gets along. If your dog needs crating or a separate space, I’m happy to accommodate that to keep them comfortable and stress-free in a new environment.
“Envee’s warm aurora is refreshing! My fur children are not trusting of most folks, but her friendly disposition took to my boys! If you’re looking for someone who’s a hit with both dogs and kits, look no further “)”
“Jasmine is so reliable and helpful, I have no stress when she’s caring for my senior cat I know she’s in good hands. Thank you Jasmine! Would highly recommend booking with her!”
“Carrianne is amazing. She sends so many great updates, photos, videos and our cats absolutely love her. She’s so good with both of our cats who have very different personalities.”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for 20+ years — and it's the senior and high-needs ones that have shaped me most as a caretaker. I've worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter, volunteered on a farm tending to sheep, pigs, and cows, and have logged years of animal care across a wide variety of contexts. My focus and true passion is senior and high-needs dogs. I currently care for Momo, my 11-year-old mini poodle rescue, who requires daily medication, mobility support, and consistent patience with separation anxiety rooted in past trauma. I'm fully comfortable managing medication schedules, specialized diets, and the kind of attentive, adaptive care that older or more complex dogs require. I also guided my previous dog, an Old English Sheepdog, through her full senior journey — including dementia-informed reactivity, significant mobility challenges, and all the nuanced day-to-day care that came with loving a big dog through her final chapter. I share my home with two poodles: Momo, and Stormy — a big, friendly 7-year-old standard who loves meeting new dogs and is equally happy to give them space if that's what they need. Stormy splits his time between my home and family nearby, so his presence varies by stay. I now work from home in a different field, and pet care is my way of staying connected to the animals I love. Your dog gets calm, present, unhurried attention from someone who is genuinely home — and genuinely invested. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need a little extra are especially welcome here! I work from home the majority of the week, so I'm present and available throughout most days. I'm typically in office one to two days a week — usually Wednesdays and/or Thursdays — for roughly 8 hours. Outside of those days, I'm home and attentive during business hours and fully available on evenings and weekends. I have a fully fenced yard, a one-story layout with no stairs to navigate — especially important for senior or mobility-limited dogs — and gate separation available so visiting dogs can be in the mix while still having their own space. Crates are available if needed. I keep pet cameras throughout the home so I can monitor remotely on the rare occasion I'm out. All dogs have dedicated feeding stations and I'm happy to accommodate varying meal times and dietary needs. Animal CPR documentation is posted in the home, an emergency vet is less than a mile away, and I have reliable transportation should anything come up.
“Xiaotong was absolutely fantastic! She gave us lots of photos and updates and was great about giving meds to one of the cats that needed it. We would 100% use her again in the future :)”
“Diana was extremely responsive and responsible in taking care of our very spoiled cat, Meru. I could not possibly have higher praise for thoroughness in responding to every email and sending updates while my S.O. and I were on vacation. Diana will definitely be our go-to for caring for Meru the next time we are away. Thank you so much Diana!”
About: Hi there! I’ve taken care of dogs for years, both my own and friends, and love them all like they are my own. I’m reliable, prompt, attentive, and loving. I also have a sweet 5 yr old Beagle Labrador (Mushu) who loves other dogs of all sizes. He will love to play with your furry friend during their stay with us. I am flexible to your dogs needs. I WFH on Fridays, while my boyfriend is WFH everyday, so there will always be someone home to keep your fur baby company. We can take your dog out multiple times and keep them entertained throughout the day. I have a fenced yard (~half acre) area at my house where your dog can play to their hearts desire, and enjoy long walks around to nearby neighborhood parks North SeaTac Park and Sunset Park. My home is dog proof, with plenty of space to play. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs, my 4 year old beagle labrador (Mushu) is very friendly and would love to play with your furry friend. Your fur baby can expect multiple walks and play sessions throughout the day, potty breaks every 2-4 hours or as frequently as needed, and is allowed on the bed and furniture. Lots of belly rubs, snuggles, and love will be provided. :)
“Erica was great she took really good care of my cat Sadie. She handled all my cats special needs. it was the first time I was able to go on vacation and not have to worry about my fur baby. I knew she was in good hands. Erica kept me well informed and sent me pictures daily. My cat really likes her I can tell cuz she acted like she was looking for her the first night that i got home right about the time that Erica makes her visits. Also hearing that my cat was following her all over the place tells me that she really liked her. Thank you for your service. Diane Gotti”
About: My family has always had dogs and over the last 10+ years I have provided care for them. I have cared for my own pets, as well as many other pets on Rover with various health needs and abilities. This includes older dogs and cats, those with health/medical issues/needs, those who need medication, as well as those with other types of support needs. I genuinely get so much joy from spending time loving on the sweet fur babies of this world and look forward to ensuring that while you are away, your fur babies feel loved and well cared for :) I am generally free Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but may be able to make other days/times work occasionally! I often work from home Monday & Tuesday so those days can be more flexible depending on the week. I can occasionally do longer term stays (up to a few weeks), as long as there is a good set up for me to work from your home part time, so feel free to reach out about longer stays as well. I am flexible, and I prefer to hear from you about how you would like your fur baby to be cared for. I am happy to do whatever is easiest and most comfortable for you and your pet(s) :) I am very communicative, professional, respectful of your space and thoughtful in my care and won’t be afraid to ask questions and keep you updated on how things are going!
About: I am an experienced dog sitter and walker. I began my dog walking/house sitting career in 2018 in Seattle, WA with the company “Your Dog Jog.” Through “Your Dog Jog” I met many dogs all of which I was able to care for responsibly and with joy. I have taken care of dogs anywhere from the size of a chihuahua all the way to the size of a St. Bernard! I am extremely engaged in every animal’s life in which I am caring for. I will always treat your pet as if they are my own - with full of love. I own a fully vaccinated & friendly pug. I do an excellent job providing a fun, safe, and healthy lifestyle for him and will do the same for yours. I can guarantee I am a promising individual who will provide beyond excellent services for you and your furry friend! I work remotely out of my home so giving your furry friend the care and attention he or she needs is absolutely no issue at all. Your animal will always be leashed when leaving the house for potty breaks or his/her daily walks. I own one adult pug so your animal will not only receive the love and attention he/she deserves but will also have a furry friend to play with when they are here! I will do an excellent job monitoring the dogs to ensure safe and fun playing.
About: As a certified veterinary assistant, I bring a professional level of care, medical knowledge, and dedicated attention to every visit. My background allows me to confidently administer both oral and injection medications, ensuring that your pet remains on their prescribed health schedule while you are away. Beyond my clinical training, I am a hands-on dog parent to my own three-year-old dog, whom I have successfully trained, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior, safety, and positive reinforcement techniques. Whether you have a high-energy puppy requiring extra socialization and activity or a senior dog that needs a gentle hand and specialized care, I am equipped to handle all life stages with patience and precision. You can rest easy knowing that your furry family member is in capable, compassionate hands during every walk or drop-in visit.

Stephanie took great care of my 3.5 month old mini dachshund puppy (Siggi) for a few hours while I had to be away. Stephanie was prompt, communicative, and followed instructions. Best of all, she and Siggi got along very well and I'm glad he has a new reliable friend!
I had a super busy week at work and i booked Envee to drop in, in the afternoon in addition to her usual walks. It has been such a load of my mind knowing Akira was cared for & fed whilst I was away for a more extended period. I come home to a happy & calm pup. Envee is super punctual & follows all instructions to the T! So grateful for her help!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Burien stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burien choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Burien with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
