“Eric was very thorough with his visit recaps and took very good care of my dog. He always arrived at my house at our agreed time, gave her medicine and hung out with her while she ate dinner as she is sometimes an anxious lady. I will definitely use Eric's services again in the future as my doggy was in such good care with him!”

“Ashley did a great job caring for my cats while I was in Asia! She wrote good notes in the app every day, included extra photos and videos, and she really seemed to bond with my cats! They seemed to trust her which I appreciate. I also had a bit of an issue and she ended up fitting me into her schedule sort of last minute, which I really appreciate. She was a great sitter. I would absolutely book her again!”


About: I have experience with medical needs as well as anxious dogs. I love to develop a trusting and loving bond with those in my care. I’m currently doing petcare (as well as childcare) full time as my school is on summer break (I’m a teacher)! I am available weekdays, overnights, and weekends. I can administer medication, crate dogs as needed, and utilize a positive reinforcement method with training or correction. I can identify and avoid dangerous plants on walks.
“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🫶🏽”

About: Hello! I am Anna. I have experience caring for young and elderly dogs from Newfoundland’s, labs, boxers, and border collies, and a few cats here and there. I have worked with dogs (and cats) that are a bit higher maintenance and need more day to day care (medication, special food, etc) as well as pups who are very easy going. While in Iceland I also took care of two arctic foxes at the Arctic Fox Center, with daily feeding and playing in their enclosure. I’d be very excited to meet any dogs or cats who need some care while their parents are out of town, or who just need a walk every so often throughout the week. I am back in the US visiting family right now with a variable schedule as I will occasionally pick up shifts working in marine mammal protection or as an EMT. Looking forward to meeting your best friends! I am back in the US visiting family and I currently have a varied and flexible schedule that I am happy to coordinate with you and your pet on. I have always been taught to leave a place better than I found it, so you can rest assured I will find a way to do that if you ask me to stay in your home. I like to ensure pets feel comfy and cozy in their homes while I’m there or when I pop in for a visit. I like to make sure the pet has everything they need and that all hazards are out of reach. Growing up with a Newfoundland and multiple labs this is something I know all too well.
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!
“As always, Carrianne was the dog whisper for my two anxious dogs; she came in and they warmed up to her immediately after only spending one time with her before! On the drop in, I booked last minute and she even voluntarily spent more than the booked time with my pets.”

About: I wrote down 25 years for experience because that’s how old I am, my family has always had dogs and I have always been overjoyed being around them. I’m super nurturing & caring. I used to sleep in my family dogs pet pen with her because that’s where my family wanted her to sleep, I couldn’t let her sleep alone. My heart is so full and I love any and every animal that I come across & create a special bond with them. I’m available 24/7! I got you covered. :) I’m currently looking for a job, I am full of energy and ready to bring in more love into my life, and to help people out in any way, that’s amazing to me. I’m not currently doing boarding. I have a large dog crate available, water available 24/7, I have two large breed dogs that love play time. Your dog won’t be lonely here! I live in a house and will take your baby out whenever and how often that’s needed. I also have a private enclosed fenced in yard for the dogs. I’m very attentive & won’t let anything happen to your fur baby!
“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 “)”

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!
“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 :)”


“Jalal did a great job taking care of my unique pets! I can tell he takes his job as a pet caretaker seriously and treats every pet as if it was his own. Despite being across the country from home, I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that my pets were in good hands! Highly recommend Jalal for your pets, however big or small they may be!”

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.
“Frankie (Kali goes by Frankie) did an amazing job with Popeye's drop in visits. She was communicative and took lots of cute pics and even videos. Our initial meeting was great and our puppy loved her. She was very knowledgeable about the quirks of puppies and I felt much better leaving him at home for the first time knowing that she'd be checking up on him. I highly recommend Frankie!”

About: As someone who has had dogs for 20+ years and does not currently have a pet of my own, I see Rover as an opportunity to spend time with animals I love and help give them them all the hang time/attention/pets/scratches/running freely in the sun time they need and deserve! I am extremely responsible, have 5 plus years watching animals in a variety of contexts, from dog sitting at the neighbors to volunteering on a farm tending to sheep's, pigs and cows. I love all animals and would be thrilled to spend time with yours :) 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.
Burien dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!

Long overdue! Virginia was awesome! Timely, accommodating, and most importantly amazing with my puppy Clyde. I just started a new job and was unsure about my schedule. Virginia was able to be flexible which really helped me out. She is knowledgeable about dogs and asked me all the right questions about how to help with Clyde’s needs. Even though I only used her twice if I ever need a dog sitter again she’ll be my go to!
