“John was fantastic with our Husky Bo. He kept me informed about everything that Bo was doing, and sent pictures and video. Bo was always happy to see John, and appeared to be having a great time on his walks. I would definitely recommend John, and I plan on requesting him to watch Bo 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!
“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 “)”

“Xiaotong was great! She was very responsive and reliable. We appreciated that she was able to come for a meet and greet at the last minute and then took good care of our cats when we were gone.”

“Truly a perfect experience! Carrianne dropped in on our kitty 2 times a day for almost a week. Every drop-in she stayed for the entire 30 min duration and kept our lil guy fed and entertained. She went above and beyond with communication and photos and even came by extra early in the morning before she had to go to work. Thank you SO MUCH for peace of mind while we were away on our trip and thanks for taking such good care of Odin.”


About: Hey my name is Atticus, I am 20 years old. I have lots of experience in communication and pet care. I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for animals, especially dogs. I’ve dog-sat for everything from a couple of hours at a time to several days or even a week, and I’m comfortable caring for both individual dogs and households with multiple dogs. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, keeping up with normal routines, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets are comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to learn what works best for each individual pet. I’ve also cared for cats and birds, including homes with multiple types of pets at once. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions as long as communication is clear and understand how important consistency is when someone else is responsible for your animals. Most importantly, I treat the animals I’m watching like I would want someone to treat my own. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and their personality. My schedule can vary since I do work full time, but I will always do my best to be flexible and work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and longer stays depending on the day and what your pet needs. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability ahead of time and make sure we have a plan that works for both you and your pets. If I’m caring for your pet, you can expect me to be reliable, on time, and keep you updated while you’re away. One of the most important parts of pet sitting to me is making sure your pet is just as comfortable with me as I am with them. Whenever possible, I strongly prefer to meet you and your dog before the first sitting session. This gives your dog a chance to meet me while you’re there, get familiar with my presence, and helps us make sure we’re a good fit before you leave them in my care. During that meeting, I also like to learn about their personality, routine, boundaries, favorite things, and anything that might make them nervous or uncomfortable. Every dog is different, and I never want to force an interaction or put an animal into a situation where they don’t feel safe. While caring for your pet, I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and any household rules you have in place. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I give your animals as well as my own, and I’m happy to provide photos and updates throughout the stay. My goal is for you to leave knowing your pet is with someone they’ve already met, are comfortable around, and can feel safe with.

About: Hi! I’m Brian, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I’ve owned four dogs over the years, so I understand the care, patience, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I also used to regularly walk my dog with my former neighbors, which helped me become comfortable handling dogs on walks and around other pets. I enjoy caring for both dogs and cats and will treat your pet with the same love and respect I’d give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’d love the opportunity I currently work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I’m available after work on weekdays and have flexible availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and weekend pet care. I have one small Mexican Hairless Dog (Xoloitzcuintli) who is friendly and well cared for. My home also has a decent, fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air while always being supervised.
About: I am trained in animal welfare by AZA accredited institution, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I am ready to help active dogs burn off energy with walks, run, and play. I am a long time pet owner and my first dog care experience came from my pet cockapoo "Felix". I base my daily and weekly routine around the wants and needs of the animals I am caring for to ensure their comfort and wellbeing. I keep pets comfortable by providing care in their own homes, following their routines exactly as instructed and communicating with owners as needed or wanted. On walks or trips to parks, I ensure safety with double checking leashes, getting to know the pets temperament, and staying cautious.
“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: Dog mom of one, looking to help others with dog walking/sitting needs. I’m so appreciative of the help I’ve found here that I’d like to return the favor to others! I work three days and have four days off usually. I spend a lot of time outdoors with my dog Odin and would love to have your dog walk with us! Or seperately if needed. I know how important it is for dogs walk and exercise to keep stimulated. Fresh air is the best medicine! I will make sure they are comfortable and/or crate them if needed!
“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’ve grown up with dogs and cats, while I’m watching your pet rest assured they will get the most of their time. I’m very active and will make sure your dog is exercised, full and loved on. I’m a nurse and am off every weekend. On days I work I will not be able to dog walk or dog sit but am available most weekends I have a large, fully-fenced yard on a quarter acre, plenty of space for your furry friend to roam. Willing to take your dog to the dog park if that is something you’d wish. Or just a stroll around the block. Whatever you and your dog prefer! I do not own a crate, so if your dog is crate trained you will need to bring it over. Happy to administer medications for your pets but may need a run-down
About: I have always been an animal lover. My family adopted a dog when I was 6 and ever since then I have been taking care of pets. When I was 10 years old I started taking care of my neighbors’ cats and dogs when they went on vacation. I have experience house sitting cats and dogs of a variety of ages. I love playing with young energetic dogs and cats, but I’m also down to chill with the seniors. I also have experience giving medicine to cats and dogs. With me, your pets will be in good hands! I work a full time office job. I have the flexibility to work remotely, so I can be available most days to stay and keep your pets entertained and let them out when nature calls. When I house sit, I always make sure I know the pet’s routine and follow it to the best of my ability. I check in with the owner if I have questions about the pet’s care. I always follow the rules of the house I am staying in (i.e. taking shoes off inside, staying out of rooms, etc.).
About: I started volunteering in an animal shelter when I was 16 years old. I worked in a veterinary hospital for 18 years off and on then moved on to working for and then owning my own pet sitting/dog walking company. I have done that for the last 16 years. I now work full time from home with a flexible schedule. I am comfortable administering medication, fluid treatments, and injections. (Additional cost) I was raised with chihuahuas to bullmastiffs, so size is not a factor I require all families to be open to my 16 year old daughter tagging along, if necessary. I also have resident cats and dogs so I ask your pets be pet friendly if you are inquiring about boarding in my home. I live on a lake for those babes who love to swim. I also have a fully fenced yard. Look forward to talking with you and taking care of your fur babies and home. I’m home most of the day so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I arrange my schedule to match your typical schedule so pets can stay with their routine I will follow all rules for leashing and animal security. I will not walk dog off leash under any circumstances. I also will not participate in dog parks. I prefer cats/dogs that come indoors during the night.

Wonderful sitter, would book again in a heartbeat! Communicative from the start — checked in ahead of time to confirm details, and sent sweet updates after visits letting us know everyone was happy, walked, fed, and loved on. When our booking got a little mixed up on our end, they were patient and easy to work with, confirming every change so we always knew what was happening. Always reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
