“Ashely is super professional and reliable! Dropped in to take care of my two cats a couple days and it went great! She even did a little extra to help out and couldn't ask for anyone better! Will be rebooking in the future!:) thanks Ashley!”
“Tim did an awesome job! My dog gets a bit nervous around new people and tends to shell herself but around him she warmed up quickly enjoyed him stopping by!”
“Anna was SO helpful and went above and beyond with our two cats while we were away. We accidentally locked them in a room and she helped them get out and made sure they had water and food. She sent pictures and videos. Would recommend her :)”
“I can honestly say that Brooklin is the best sitter we have had. It is so nice to go on vacation and know that our fur baby and home are well taken care of. She goes over and beyond everytime. Thank you, Brooklin.”
“We hired Jasmine to look after Avi on a short notice the night before a trip out of town. While I was anxious that they had spent just a few minutes together during the meet-and-greet visit, they did just fine. Jasmine was always on time and the Daily pics she sent were great. She graciously offered to water the plants, too, and even ‘rescued’ my newly purchased lavenders from the heat on lawn as I neglected to plant them before we left. Thank you for making our trip possible! Bill, Cara and Avi”
“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!”
“Great communication. Played with our two big, energetic dogs the entire visit. They had so much fun. Will continue to leverage Timothy for drop-ins and look forward to his upcoming overnight stay.”
“Christina did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were away. She spent a good amount of time with them, playing and cuddling, and she took great pictures. She also took great care of our house - everything was just as we left it. She even took out the trash on trash day.”
“Molly took care of our two cats for a week while we were out of town. She was easy to connect with, and was able to give the older cat his daily medicine. When we got back from our trip, both kitties were happy and relaxed.”
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!
“There's not much more I can say about Law! On time, attentive, caring, and COMMUNICATIVE! SO many times I've asked for a visit with short notice, and Law never flinches!”
“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!”
“Fantastic from the meet and greet to the first visit when I spent the day traveling down to LAX for work. Sent a video when there was a sound my one pup made, pictures of both and just overall caring person looking after my boys. So grateful to have connected with Kevin!”
“Francheska was proacative to set up a meet and greet. She was punctual on the day of service and took lots of photos while caring for my pet. I would recommend her in the future and will reach out next time I need help!”
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.

Jeannie is so friendly and knowledgeable. It is very obvious that she loves her job. We had her drop in to see my dogs while we were away for a longer part of a couple days and my dogs were significantly less anxious when we got home. My neighbors even mentioned how sweet it was that they saw someone running in our backyard with our dogs. Jeannie is wonderful and will 100% be coming back with her first. We recommend for any other dog parent who needs worry free care for their fur babies!
Ashley was absolutely phenomenal with Magni and completely went above and beyond for him. Magni has had trouble with his eye and she made sure it stayed doctored the entire time. She took him on long walks so he could get out of the house and made sure he got all of the play time. We couldn't be more happy with Ashley and the time she spent with our boy. We will absolutely be requesting her again and recommending to everyone we know!
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!

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 .
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.
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.
