“Another great visit from Brooklin. She never gives up on my grumpy, old man Siamese. Old lady Stella gets more love and adventures than we can give her with our many kids! Count down until the next visit!”
“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!!”
“Joley is always very attentive to my pups needs. She goes over and beyond with her communication, kept me posted w detail while sending pictures throughout the duration of housesitting.”
“I didn’t wanna leave a rave review because I don’t want Lisa to get so busy that I won’t be able to book her but I’m compelled. She was amazing! Took my dogs out three times for a walk during her housesitting visit. Great communication. Sent me a lot of pics. I know my dogs can’t wait for her to come over again. Highly, highly, recommended.”
“Alex was the perfect weekend buddy for our two pitbull mixes. They showed up right on time for the meet and greet, and seemed happy and patient to be around the dogs. During the pet sitting, we received several updates and dog photos which we always appreciate. We came back to our home exactly how we had left it. We would definitely book Alex again, and would recommend them to others as well!”
“Brandy did a fantastic job with my sometimes ornery older dog. She has great communication, was polite and kept me updated during her stay with our pup. She left the house neat and tidy. I can tell she loves dogs, and I highly recommend her.”
“Racheal was wonderful! I have an older dog that needs meds, and has some minor knee issues that require extra attention. Racheal was great for him, and we really appreciated that she stayed with him at our house while we were away. I loved getting the little updates and photos throughout the weekend, and I would absolutely have her watch our pup again.”
“Our dogs had a great time. Lots of walks, play, and belly rubs. We will be hoping to book with Kayleigh in the future for all of our dog sitting needs. Thank you so much.”
“Stuart took amazing care of my dog, Denali, while I was out of town. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. Denali loved him! I completely trust Stuart and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”
“Christina was great! She took excellent care of our Sophie girl and kept us updated with messages and photos while we were away. It was clear Sophie was comfortable and well cared for. The house was very clean when we got back, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We’d definitely have Christina sit for us again!”
“Kaitlyn was very communicative and respectful of our home. One of our cats behaved differently than we expected - hiding under a bed. Kaitlyn let us know what was happening and adjusted the care plan based on our feedback. She went above and beyond: brought in packages for me, handled the pets' dirty dishes, and reset the linens when she was done. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“They did such a great job! We needed a sitter while we went off to get married and the updates throughout the day and pictures let us enjoy our time without worry. Thank you for taking taking care of our furkids!”
“Timothy was great! We found him communicative, punctual, and polite. We appreciated the pictures of our pets while we were away and his flexibility made our trip more relaxed. Thanks!”
“Leah was great! We needed a sitter last minute and Leah was so fast at responding and stepping in for us. She kept us updated with pictures and left our home so clean for when we got home! I would highly recommend and would definitely rebook!”
“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Lisa was great. Very communicative throughout her stay with our pup and sent pictures each day which is always a big relief! She left our house super clean which is also a lovely thing to come home to.”
“Madison is a gem! Professional, trustworthy, and a true protector for our dogs. She communicated beautifully throughout the week and handled everything with grace. Chacha and Khai were so well-cared for—we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”
About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
Burien pet parents share their Rover experiences
We previously booked Sarah for a few short stays but this was our first overnight stay we had with her. She communicated well and was accommodating for our pups and provided pictures and updates while we were away 5 days. Our pups looked happy when we came home and our home was left clean. Would definitely recommend and will definitely have her watch our pups again! Thanks Sarah!

My pups had never, ever been without me or my wife since they were 8 weeks old. And when my wife passed a year ago we have still not been apart for even a day. I had to take a trip and needed them to stay. Stuart read up on my pups breed and was very conscientious about the fact that he would be the first person, outside of me that they would have caring for them. It really made a difference in my stress level, and my pups were happy and well upon my return. My apartment was also in good order. It was a very good experience. Thanks Stuart.
As always, Emily is reliable and dependable, and takes wonderful care of our house and precious dogs. We can’t imagine having anyone else house/dog sit for us. Her communication is excellent and she’s flexible and adaptable i.e. when we had to ask her to feed our son’s gecko :) we highly recommend her!
We had such a great experience with Annika! Communication was frequent and thoughtful from start to finish, and we received so many pictures and updates that made being away so much easier. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We also came home to a very clean house. It truly felt like everything was taken care of. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend Annika to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Jenna was great with all our animals! They all did very well with her and she was able to earn the trust of Bixia, who is still mostly scared of new people. It was really great knowing that she was taking care of our pets! We would definitely recommend her and hope to be able to have her house sit again!
Stephanie watched my dogs for a week while I was out of town. She stayed at my place with them so that they kept to their normal routines. She was great, gave regular updates, and left the house in perfect order. The dogs really liked her! I would definitely use her services again.
