“My senior cats loved Yimi. She is gentle and sweet, so they felt very comfortable with her. She is a good communicator and sent lots of photos. we will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I have taken care of and owned dogs most of my life. At present, I have a female American Staffordshire Terrier named Chloe, but I have had a Pomeranian, Chocolate Labrador, and a mixed Chow /Collie. My neighbors and family have always relied on me to take care of their dogs while they were away. I have potty- trained puppies as well as cared for senior dogs, including helping them to walk around, eat and relieve themselves. I am very patient, conscientious and dependable. I will stick to your pet's routine while keeping things warm and playful. I am looking forward to providing attentive loving care for your dog so you can relax and enjoy yourself while you are out of town. I'm currently looking for a part-time, job as a showing agent, so I can easily fit your pet's need into my daily schedule, whether it is on weekends or weekdays. I can also do early morning drop-ins, late evening drop- ins and holidays. My first priority will be your pet's safety; you can trust me to know where it is at all times! I will send you updates and photos after every visit and keep all pet areas clean, including their food and water dishes.
“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!”
“Jack answered our request for a last minute trip away from home and we are so glad he did. He was great with Shango, sent plenty of pictures and respected every request that we asked.”
“I had to take a last minute trip, and Laura saved me! She did a great job, went above and beyond, and I’m very lucky to have been able to book with her. Thanks so much Laura!”
About: Hi! I'm Shirley, a passionate animal lover who believes every walk should be an adventure. Whether your pup loves a brisk walk, extra sniffing time, or plenty of belly rubs, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and excited to get to know your furry family member. I can't wait to meet your best friend and become their new favorite walking buddy! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’m just starting out with Rover but I have been a pet passionate person my entire life, and I’d love to meet yours! I worked as a veterinary technician through college and after, so I have lots of experience with medically complex cats and dogs. I also currently foster dogs and grew up fostering cats, so I’ve gotten to meet and learn about many breeds and different personalities. I’m honest, reliable, and I care deeply about the needs of animals. I also have experience caring for parrots, poultry, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and other small exotic pets. As a stay at home mom we are home and playing in the yard very often. I walk my dogs every single day, rain or shine, we love to explore! I have a securely fenced yard with a lovely garden and a big grassy area for playing. I love to treat new dogs like family and help them feel safe and loved.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities since I was a child as we always grew up with a dog in the house. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. Now that I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and a calm, loving environment and your dog will have company with me and my dogs, Juniper and Coco. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, offering calm companionship, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection. I understand how important routine and patience are, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I’m happy to provide photo updates and follow any specific care instructions. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work remote as an entrepreneur, and there are always multiple people present in the house throughout the day, pets are never left unattended and always have care, supervision, and companionship. This allows for frequent potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and supervision. I’m available for boarding and care on weekends as well as weekdays, and I make sure each dog’s routine is followed closely. I provide a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment for pets in my care. I have a fully fenced balcony for supervised outdoor time and dogs who are accustomed to being around other pets. Introductions are done slowly, and interactions are always monitored. With multiple adults at home—including retired family members and another work-from-home adult—there is constant, around-the-clock care and attention. I can crate dogs if needed and strictly follow feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. Cleanliness, supervision, and communication are top priorities, and every pet is treated like family.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 17, and over the years I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From daily walks to overnight sitting, I’m used to being a consistent and reliable presence in a pet’s routine. I’m also comfortable giving medications and supporting both young and senior dogs with different needs. I especially love working with puppies! That’s really where my heart is. I use positive reinforcement, routine, and clear (but gentle) boundary setting, and I take the time to understand each pup’s personality so I can adapt to them, not the other way around. I want pets to feel happy in their environment, not just managed, and my ultimate goal is for everyone involved, pets and humans, to feel supported in the way they need to thrive. My background is in social work, which really shapes how I show up with animals too: patient, attentive, and tuned into emotional and behavioral needs. In my free time, I love reading across every genre and learning about astrology, so I bring a calm, curious, and intuitive energy into the care I provide. I work independently and by contract, so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m usually available for in-home pet sitting with as little as two days’ notice. Having WiFi in your home makes it easy for me to take care of a few light work commitments during the week (Mon–Thurs), while still being fully present and attentive with your pet. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating an environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s habits, preferences, and personality so I can adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. I prioritize consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest, and I use positive reinforcement and gentle boundaries, especially with puppies and high-energy dogs. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels, and I adjust throughout the day to meet their needs — whether that means extra play, quiet companionship, or more structured activity. I also believe communication and preparation are key. I ask that all emergency contacts, vet information, and care instructions are shared ahead of time, and I strongly prefer a meet and greet before booking. This helps ensure I’m a good fit for your pet’s specific needs and that everyone feels comfortable and confident moving forward. Overall, my goal is for pets to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I want their time with me to feel calm, familiar, and loving, so both pets and their humans can feel at ease
“Nicole was awesome in every aspect! She came over to meet our cat prior to the scheduled visits to make sure they were ok with each other. Nicole followed every instruction perfectly and was very communicative when things came up with our cat. Extremely grateful to have her care for our cat while we were away on holiday.”
“Mackenzie helped me in a pinch with a drop in for my pups! She was very communicative and took stellar care of both of them (one is a 5 month old puppy). Will be booking again in the future ☺️”

“Nancy is such a pleasure to work with! She was so kind and understanding with our pup. He can be a little slow to warm up but she was able to help him feel comfortable and my husband and I felt so at ease having Nancy check in on him! Very much recommend Nancy! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼😊”
“Madeline dropped in on our cats and we could tell she paid good attention to them and their quirky personalities. She also gave our skittish senior cat his medication without a problem, which we were really impressed by. She was great!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life. At one point we had a total of 4, all different breeds and ages. I have plenty of animal experience and will be sure to keep your pet safe. I was introduced to Rover through my sister who ran her own dog business. I helped her out in various situations involving walks and boarding. She started with walks and then did full time boarding and daycare. I am looking to do some housesitting, drop in visits, and walks. I currently have a sweet American bully girl who has her own issues (sometimes doesn’t like a stranger) and she is STRONG. I can handle most dogs I think. I also used to have a dog that was dog-aggressive which was tough but I learned how to manage that as well. It’s not their fault that they have fear and it’s our job to make them feel safe. If you’re nervous about finding someone due to your dogs behavior, let’s chat and see if maybe it’s something I can handle :) Thank you for your consideration! Kind regards, Rowan I am a full time realtor so my schedule is my own to create. If we get on a weekly schedule that would be ideal for me! Make sure they are not free to get away especially if they are a known runner. Keep an eye on them when they’re in unsecured places and keep them leashed as well.
About: I grew up with 3 family dogs and have had a variety of pets throughout the years: fish, tadpoles, rats, gerbils, dogs, and insects. I have pet sit for cats and chickens for my neighbors from the time I was around 8 until I went to college at 18. I have also volunteered at humane societies caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals. I have experience training puppies, walking dogs and cats, and feeding and caring for a variety of animals. I have a very flexible schedule! I go on lots of walks and hikes and swimming trips that I would love to have a dog accompany me on. I am also available to house sit or stop by to feed animals. I will have a car that I can take animals in as well. Pets, especially dogs, are able to communicate their needs, and I plan on listening to them. If I am taking care of a pet in a client's home, that is also the dog's home and I will listen to what the dog needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
Erin went above and beyond with our energetic pup, Banjo and our kitty, Pickle. She enthusiastically took the job when our other sitter canceled last minute, updated us with each visit, and made sure our furry friends got all the attention they needed while we were away. We will definitely ask for her pet sitting again in the future!
London was great and sent a picture or two with each interaction. Kya seemed calm and relaxed when I got home, which was especially reassuring since she’s usually a bit anxious after I’ve been away. I would definitely recommend London and would happily book with her again!
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!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burien. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
