“One of the best places we found in a decade. They really understand each and every dog. We loved the pics they send while we were in Bora Bora Tahiti. I would highly recommend this place if you love your dog.”
“Such a wonderful feeling when you finally found a great sitter for your pup! Zoie has never been this happy being away from me! It only goes to show that Daisha and Tam did a fabulous job of caring for and treating my pup like their own. I would definitely use their services again and highly recommended.”
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!
“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”
“Donna and her husband welcomed my senior 18 year old mini schnauzer with open arms! I had to work 14 hour day, 2 days in a row, and they took care of him like they were his family. I’ve never met such a nice sitter combo! They have a yard which my dog loved! My dog is a lot of work and they took the best care of him! Their dog mushu was the sweetest dog and played with buddy so gently. They sent many updates and pictures and videos which made me so happy and knew he was in good hands. Thank you!!!”
“Zelda had a lot of fun staying with Maria and Kalyan. They are really responsive and took good care of my girl. Their pup Nikko is also really adorable and I’m happy Zelda can make friends with him. Will definitely book again!”
About: Since being on my own, I have had some fur baby in my life. Both puppies and elders will be well loved here. We have a deep relationship with our own animals. All are fully vaccinated and attend their annual health checks. We also love on them when they ask us to, meeting their mental health needs as well. Husband is still working from home with no return to the office in sight. And we are a currently a multi-generational home. There will always be some human here to care for your furry family member. We have a huge, secure, fenced backyard and two dogs of our own. Your pup will be well exercised here and will come home exhausted (and maybe a little dirty). We also love cuddling with our fur babies, and will welcome any (reasonably sized) dogs onto our bed if that is where they feel comfortable, or we have room for a crate or any dog bed you want to bring. We feed our pooches 3x a day. But we find that most guests have a 2x per day routine, and will continue to hold your home routine. We also give oral medication to one of our pups, once a day.
“Csenka took excellent care of our puppy for daycare, with regular updates including photos and checking in for any questions on caring for her. We’ll certainly be back!!”
“Ashley was amazing with Pastel! I’m a helicopter dog mom as I would say and she was very good at communicating, she promptly responded all my questions and concerns! She is great and I highly recommend her. I can wait to use her services again! Thank you so much Ashley!”
About: I have worked as a professional dog walker for 5 years. It is the best job ever. Dogs are adorable and hilarious, yes, but the part I really love is trying to understand the motivations behind each dog. I know, food and walks, duh! But since adopting my high-anxiety dog 6 years ago, I have realized there is so much more to the doggie brain. Dog park trips are like an anthropological study for me!! I like to think I'm the Jane Goodall of dogs; I'm flattered when they confuse me for one of their own. Living among the canines has come very naturally to me, and frequently worry about the diminishing appeal of the human world. My mother has legitimate concerns that I'll never find a husband. Some have called me a dog whisperer, to which I say "Have you ever met a dog that whispers?" You can think of me more like a translator. Booking with me helps fund my education so that I can one day save the world. My dream is to help troubled kids find the peace and compassion that I have found in my love for animals. I currently work from home and have open availability. If your dog cannot be left alone, they won't be. My own dog does not like to be separated from me, thus I'm comfortable arranging my life around the needs of dogs!! I use extreme care in assessing the environment to experience it the way your dog is, thus better understand behaviors and antecedent cues, and what is reinforcing the behavior.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for 20+ years — and it's the senior and high-needs ones that have shaped me most as a caretaker. I've worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter, volunteered on a farm tending to sheep, pigs, and cows, and have logged years of animal care across a wide variety of contexts. My focus and true passion is senior and high-needs dogs. I currently care for Momo, my 11-year-old mini poodle rescue, who requires daily medication, mobility support, and consistent patience with separation anxiety rooted in past trauma. I'm fully comfortable managing medication schedules, specialized diets, and the kind of attentive, adaptive care that older or more complex dogs require. I also guided my previous dog, an Old English Sheepdog, through her full senior journey — including dementia-informed reactivity, significant mobility challenges, and all the nuanced day-to-day care that came with loving a big dog through her final chapter. I share my home with two poodles: Momo, and Stormy — a big, friendly 7-year-old standard who loves meeting new dogs and is equally happy to give them space if that's what they need. Stormy splits his time between my home and family nearby, so his presence varies by stay. I now work from home in a different field, and pet care is my way of staying connected to the animals I love. Your dog gets calm, present, unhurried attention from someone who is genuinely home — and genuinely invested. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need a little extra are especially welcome here! 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.
“My dog got a LOT of exercise with Becky and her dogs. Her yard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play. Becky was very kind, and seems very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. I was extremely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, and plan to have her watch her again while I’m on vacation.”
About: Looking for a safe, attentive home away from home where your dog is the center of attention? I have over 14 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner and a lifetime of pet-sitting for loved ones. Since I work from home full-time and don't have any resident pets, your dog will get 100% of my care, company, and couch space! My setup is ideal for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, featuring a large, fenced yard with plenty of shade. I love taking dogs on walks and trips to the dog park around my standard but flexible work schedule - roughly 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM), but they are also welcome to just chill in the yard or sleep at my feet while I work. We are a fully couch-friendly, car-ride-loving home! Working from home means your dog is my "co-worker" all day. From 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, they'll get constant company, office snoozes, and backyard breaks between my meetings Free range home, offering all standard pet needs. I am an experienced dog owner, and can follow any necessary instructions provided by owners or vets
“Jerry was thoughtful, communicative and did a great job caring for my dog! My dog is an escape artist and I felt comfortable leaving her in his care because he has a secure backyard, a double gate system by the front door, and was diligent about keeping her safe.”
“Milo had a great time at Eric’s place. Eric took him at that last minute and was very flexible with his pickup. His yard was fantastic and he kept us updated with pics. Highly recommended.”
About: Very knowledgable in pet nutrition and supplement. Can advise on a special diet if needed. Can provide basic/ obidience training + bathing with trimming nails. I am a early bird with tons of energy. I start my day with walks, work in the garden till noon, clean around the yard and last walk before the sun goes down! I have a fenced backyard and a friendly lil corgi to keep your dog company. All dangerous chewables are away and all toys are out to play
“Shannon agreed to take care of Bailey for us last minute, and was extremely accommodating with our ever changing plans while in Seattle. Thank you for caring for my pup and being patient with me! Would definitively use again when visiting Seattle!”

Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Kirsten! Because he was adopted, we're not sure this was Tucker's first daycare experience, but it was an amazing day for him! The photos and report card are a great touch and he obviously had a great time. We will be using Kirsten's Rover for daycare and for boarding when needed. Thank you, Kirsten for showing Tucker a good time!
My dog got a LOT of exercise with Becky and her dogs. Her yard is perfect for dogs who love to run and play. Becky was very kind, and seems very knowledgeable in caring for dogs. I was extremely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, and plan to have her watch her again while I’m on vacation.
Daisha and Tam took care of our pup, to get him introduced to doggy day care and boarding. They are kind, caring and genuinely love taking care of your pets. My pup is quite anxious; which had me worried at first but he settled in well in Daisha & Tam’ care; took walks and enjoyed hanging out with them. I received frequent updates putting my mind at ease. I will be reaching out to them again for all future daycare and boarding needs.
Donna and her husband welcomed my senior 18 year old mini schnauzer with open arms! I had to work 14 hour day, 2 days in a row, and they took care of him like they were his family.

Evie had a great day with Sarah ! She went for a really long walk which is a real treat for her. Sarah was wonderful with Evie and took very good care of her which we appreciate. Evie was a tired and happy dog when she got home. We definitely will take Evie to Sarah’s again next time we need day care ! Thank you Sarah !!
Thank you so so much for taking such excellent care of my little nut case. I really appreciate all the communication and tailoring to her first day jitters. Your pups were so wonderful and I love to see Reya fall in with a pack of dogs who get her. I hope they'll get to have some more playdates soon!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Burien
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Burien on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Burien commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,097 sitters in Burien, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
