“John is the Best! My dog Penny loves John’s visit and walks. I trust John 100% with Penny and am so happy with his care for my dog! He comes weekly and is always on time. :)”
“I’m so grateful for Carrianne for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy Freddy. He’s warmed up to her so well, which says everything. She’s reliable, incredibly attentive, and always keeps me updated, giving me total peace of mind. I truly trust her and appreciate her so much!”
“DaAnna was great with my 2 cats! She was super flexible and responsive with a last minute booking request, and took excellent care of my girls. Great photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.”
About: Not only did I have cats and dogs my entire childhood, but as an adult I adopted and raised my own puppy. I have professional petsitting experience (through Sitter City). I stayed overnight on 5 occasions to watch a cat and a 50-lbs dog and took the dog on a 30-min walk in the mornings. The cat had special needs due to a recent surgery so I have no problem following specific instructions regarding medication, etc. I like to walk and I’m happy to take the dogs with me to get exercise. I just love animals and am always trying to hang out with other people’s pets since I’m not allowed to have pets in my apartment! I work during weekdays but am almost always free on weekends to focus on pet sitting. I don’t have kids so I tend to treat pets like the kids I never had! I can stay in your home with your pet and am also happy to take them out (and they’re welcome in my car). I can take them on walks or to the dog park!
“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!”
“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: I have spent my whole life around animals and pets, ranging from dogs and cats to goats and chickens- and more! In addition, I have helped family and friends with housesitting and pet sitting on numerous occasions. I am currently taking classes at my local community college, this fall quarter I am taking two online courses. So, I have the freedom to check on and care for your fur-babies! I have done the majority of my pet sitting at the owner’s home, and my goal has always been to be respectful of the space and leave it in good condition. Maintaining the space and caring for your pet is always my top priority!
“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 :)”
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 35 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.
About: Hi there! I’ve loved taking care of dogs for many 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 6 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. When your furry baby is here, they are treated like family - with love and care. 😊 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 we like to rotate around including North SeaTac Park, Sunset Park, Westcrest, and Lincoln Park. My home is dog proof, with plenty of space to play. If your dog is comfortable with other dogs, my 6 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. :)
About: I have taken care of my close friends and families many cats and dogs of different breeds and amazingly different personality types for at least the last 15 years. Who doesn't love an exuberant leg rub hello from a lovey kitty or a jumping puppy who loves to give kisses? However, keep in mind I do have a special skill set with both cats and dogs that are very unsure of new people. When I enter an animals home I actively ignore shy animals, sit quietly and let them come to me on their own terms. I have a strong understanding of those classic stress signals, the cute but warning whale eyes, the lip licking (and not because they are hungry) and flat ears. I am also versed in diabetic care for cats as well. I am comfortable with large breed dogs and have experience with German Shepherds and Bully Breeds. In addition I am willing to wear an N95 as needed for any immune compromised needs. Looking forward to meeting your adorable animals! I currently work week days but I am free in the afternoon and evenings Monday-Friday starting at 3:30pm and have open flexibility on most Federal Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will be coming to you and your pet to provide the upmost familiarity and comfort for them. I have a calm slow approach and let shy animals come to me to acclimate. I am a pro at following specific instructions you might request because every pet is as unique as their people are and deserve the best. I am familiar with basic cat and dog first aid and have emergency vet numbers saved.
About: Experienced and caring pet sitter dedicated to your dog's well-being. I offer a flexible schedule to give your furry family member undivided love and attention. Since I have a very adaptable schedule, pet care easily fits into my day. I can provide constant attention, companionship, and regular walks every week I adapt to your preference. I maintain a secure space at home or deliver reliable care at yours, prioritizing your dog’s safety, comfort, and regular exercise.
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.
“Mary Marie provided great care for our two dogs and cat! We booked slightly last minute and she worked with our schedule to squeeze in a meet and greet before we left. She used the app to let us know when she was here and to give great updates— anecdotes and photos. We appreciated her care of our high maintenance dogs and her ability to give everyone oral meds!”
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.

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!
Rachel was amazing & very attentive with Pepper. I left Pepper with Rachel for a decent amount of time (9 days), and she was extremely prompt & consistent with the time she came to walk & care for Pepper. He smiled in all of the pictures she sent me while I was away. Would definitely love to get Rachel's help again on my next trip!
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!
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!

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.
