Top rated Burien house sitters

“Lisa was great! We left her with 2 of the 3 dogs and they were the most suspect. She won them over, no problem. Lisa has a nice, calming energy about her and she takes fantastic pics of the pets she cares for - so she could have a side, side hustle being a pet photog! We recommend her highly.”


“Ellie did a great job watching my high anxiety pup! She also was very respectful of my house and left things very clean. I would definitely have her back to watch my girl.”


“Eric went above and beyond when he took care of our pets. He provided thorough updates for us while we were gone, and even sent lots of pictures of our babies. When we came home, it was just as clean as when we left it! 10/10 would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we hope to book with him again in the future!”


“Tim is wonderful and was so amazing with our super skittish girl. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving her and to make her feel comfortable. He even did some dishes we, embarrassingly, left behind. Will absolutely be hiring him again next time we need to go out of town.”


“Brittney and Megan were absolute angels!! From the moment I booked with them, they went above and beyond—checking in with me every day, sending the cutest, most beautiful photos of my babies, and most importantly, loving them like their own. 🥹💛 Knowing they were safe, snuggled, and genuinely cared for brought my anxiety down more than I can say. I could feel the warmth and peace they created in my absence. I will never be able to thank them enough—and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in a heartbeat. Truly the dream team. 💫🐾✨”


“This was our first time having Brooklin as our house & dog sitter. We immediately could sense her level of professionalism and love for animals, and we trusted her right away. She showed respect and knowledge on how to approach our timid dog. By the end of our meet and greet, our dog was in a playful bow engaging Brooklin to play! (That never happens!!) Throughout the 10-day sit, Brooklin provided love, care, companionship, exercise, activities and new adventures for our dog. We came home to a happy, well cared for and loved, tired dog. She also was very respectful to us and our home! She provided thoughtful updates, pictures and videos. Our house was clean, it was as if she was never there! I’ve already recommended her to my neighbors and will absolutely be using her services going forward!”


“Hunter was communicative and our home was as clean as we left it when we got home. The dogs were happy and he sent us photos regularly. I would definitely recommend Hunter for an in home stay.”


“You know you have a good dog/house sitter when your neighbors who have three dogs text you this message: Hey unsolicited feedback that your dog/house sitter seems super consistent and reliable with Zoe. She’s here at the same times and overnight and walks her at the same times. Hope you’re enjoying wherever you are!!!! I’m not stalking her but just notice in my daily life. ? You will not be disappointed! The house also felt cleaner when I got home then when I left and my pup seemed very happy. Thanks Cassandra!”


“Lawrenze is a pro! Frankie bonded right away and snuggled in with L for an overnight visit and plenty of exercise. This was our first experience but won’t be our last.”


“Mary went so far above and beyond any expectations. She loved and cared for Cooper, took him on daily adventures, to the dog park, for pup cups, and on walks. I always get a bit worried when I have to leave Cooper because he is very attached, but he absolutely adored Mary. Mary took great care of our home and looked after our garden as well. She was so easy to communicate with, sent daily videos, updates and photos. We had a bit of a delay getting back and Mary made it stress free by taking Cooper for two extra days. 100% recommend hiring Mary to anyone in any situation!”


“Peter was absolutely wonderful caring for our Saint Bernard puppy Atlas at the last minute when we had an emergency we had to fly across the country for. He kept sending updates and pictures showing in detail everything they did together and how happy our dog was with him. It was very relieving knowing that our dog was well cared for when we were away.”


“It's hard for me to know where to begin because I have so much gratitude to express! Now that I'm back, thank you John for exceeding my expectations and ultimately, alleviating all the unnecessary anxieties and fears I definitely had prior to leaving town. It allowed me to truly be present on my trip that I have had on my life-list for some time now. So, LOTS of wins for everyone. John was so professional and courteous--he initiated a meet and greet prior to the trip. I SO appreciated that gesture. He knows the wild-child-energy well when it comes to frenchies, and I could tell he just adored them (even though Oliver was screaming at him for attention the whole time). He sent me videos, pictures, and even encouraged me to change my reservation so I didn't get overcharged. What a guy! Thank you again John! You will be hearing from us again and it'll be so great to have a consistent visitor so the dogs don't get as stressed out. I'm just over the moon and hope this review gets you more clients!!”


“I highly recommend Lisandra! During an extended visit in Seattle we needed a dog sitter for 1 day. Lisandra came to our AirBnB and spent the day providing companionship, walks, and play time with Murphy. When we got home, he was cuddling on the couch with her. If we ever again need a sitter while in Seattle, I'll reach out to Lisandra and am recommending her to my Seattle family & friends.”


“Stephanie has cared for our elderly dog, Cali, twice recently in our home. Cali requires a lot of care and attention at this point. I felt totally comfortable leaving Cali in Stephanie's care as she is a wonderful person and an amazing pet caregiver. I received daily updates and great pictures throughout her stays which allowed me to enjoy my vacations. I would rate Stephanie six-stars if available. Thank you Stephanie!”


“You went above and beyond for our babies! We appreciated all that was done to make our little family comfortable and safe! Great communicator! Love, love the picture updates! Thank you!”


“Gavin is awesome!!!! He took wonderful and loving care of our big affectionate pup and sassy kitty. With daily updates and thoughtful photos, we were confident in his care and attention to our home and pets. Highly recommend!!!! We will definitely call on Gavin again for future stays.”


“Great job looking after our pups and home while we were away for a long weekend. They looked well taken care of when we got back and really appreciate the communication and updates during the stay. Thank you so much!!!”


About: I have walked, home sat, and just visited with friends dogs and cats on and off over the past 20 years. I have also had a few different cats over my lifetime, and had a golden retriever several years back. I have pet sat and walked small to medium dogs including smaller dogs that have had some difficulties walking. A couple of the dogs I have taken care of were senior dogs that enjoyed walks though needed patience time and sometimes being carried home due to their limitations. One pup in particular, a Frenchie has had a difficult start to her life, she had lost an eye, has hip problems and is partially blind in her one eye. She has the energy and excitement of a puppy her age normally does, but also can become skittish quickly due to noises or people and feeling threatened due to her lack of visual range. She loves walks but sometimes doesn't know when it's best to turn back and gets to a point where she refuses to move, and gets carried home. She also has some particular dietary needs that requires patience and care to make sure she eats and that the food stays down. I am currently doing mostly online freelance work that can be done anywhere as long as I have internet available along with a part-time job. It is also work that can be set aside and picked up easily enough so that I can work between any pet care, and set it aside when a pet needs attention. Times I will be at a PT job and unavailable: - Mon, Wed, Fri: 12pm - 8pm - Sat: 9am - 3pm I am currently open to caring for pets at their own homes. I am open to any arrangement that the owner has setup and prefers for their own pet. I want to make sure to stick with any schedule that a pet has to try to reduce any stress from changes in scheduling.

About: I don’t have any pets of my own. Over the years I’ve lived with friends and family that had pet cats, dogs, chickens, and even a turtle. I was always the go to watcher/sitter whenever someone was out of town or busy. Through this experience I learned how to care for, love on, and coexist with animals. I would love for a pet of my own but my current living situation does not accommodate pets. I have mornings available everyday for awesome morning walks, dog park adventures, and maybe even a hike (if your pet is into it.) I have 2 days during the week where I am available in the evening, and beyond that I am available after 9 pm most days for a late evening check in and cuddle. I am respectful and understanding of animals and their space and comfort. I recognize their body language and listen to the cues I am given. My observation and detail oriented skills allow me to keep spaces clean, tidy, and organized. Unfortunately, I am unable to accommodate your pets in my home.
