“I'd give 10 stars if I could. Tyler & Alexis are so kind, attentive, and helpful. This is the longest we've ever left our Bengal cats for, and I felt so at ease knowing these two wonderful people were looking out for them. I know they were patient with my picky eater and were communicative about any one-off concerns (like surprise vomit). I feel so at ease with these two and recommend them highly for drop in visits, though they also offer other services.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a small kid! I believe pets deserve all the love, and I understand and am able to work with reactive dogs as well. I do work full time remotely! But I use all my breaks to walk and play with my dogs. I am almost always home, and visit the dog part frequently I treat my pets, and all pets with love and respect. I always make sure that they are able to go potty when they need to, get fed consistently, and have plenty toys and treats.
“Shelli was really great to chat with when we met up before she did drop-in visits for my two cats. She sent me lots of pictures each day, showing them sitting on her lap, playing, etc. Definitely will scheduling with her for my next cat-sitting needs :)”
“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’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!
“Thank you, Mary Marie, for another great sit with our animals! I love that you track everything in the app so I can see that you arrive okay and then get a full report on how everyone’s doing. I’m sure our dogs and cat are looking forward to the next time we go out of town!”
“Tim has been fantastic with Sofie! He’s great at communicating and sending updates during his drop‑ins. The photos he sends of her looking calm and happy show how much she enjoys spending time with him.”
“Deanna is a great sitter! She was very easy to work with, flexing work my schedule, and so kind to my pet. She took great care of my pet and communicated with me while I was gone. Will rebook again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 8 years now, from puppies to seniors. All dogs/pets get my full attention and love as if they were my own. Your requests/directions will be followed to a T! I can send you texts and photos to keep you updated if you’d like. Looking forward to meeting you both! I’m currently working part time and mainly from home so that means plenty of time for your fur baby and I! I have a partner and a teenaged daughter so tons of love to go around! I have a house and an unfenced yard but an outside yard stake and 10ft+ leash to secure your fur baby while they use the bathroom or roam the yard! If they don’t need leashed in the open unfenced yard that can be done too! I have a 1 year old Cairn Terrier to keep your pup company as well! She’s very friendly and respectful of other dogs. if need be I can crate your pup!
About: I have lived with dogs before and done some pet sitting for family. I understand the basic needs, and how quirky some doggos can get. Cleaning litter boxes every day, check water, and I try to carefully feed the cats so everyone gets a chance to eat and the one cat doesn't eat too much. When dog walking I try to be brisk and use my body and pace to keep the focus on the walk and not other dogs. I do like to see what the doggos sniff at. With the cats I live with I have a specific method for feeding them to make sure they all get to eat, I'm used to having to clean up puke and hairballs. Some pets are quirky and need to be treated a certain way.
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!
“We have used Vanessa a few times now and are more than satisfied! If you need a sitter, she is your girl! Very good at communicating and giving updates. She also sends lots of picture updates which we love! 10/10 will always recommend Vanessa!!!”
“Emily did a fantastic job helping my wife give our cat her two daily oral medications while I was out of town. It definitely can be a two-person job, so it was nice to know my wife would not have to wrestle with the kitty on her own. Thank you!”
“Francheska was proacative to set up a meet and greet. She was punctual on the day of service and took lots of photos while caring for my pet. I would recommend her in the future and will reach out next time I need help!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
Joy was fantastic with Tesla while we were away! She sent thorough, regular updates and photos, making sure Tesla got plenty of playtime, attention, and her favorite treats. She took great care of everything around the house—keeping the food, water, and litter pristine—and even went the extra mile to take our garbage bin out to the curb on collection day. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing Tesla was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend Joy and will definitely be booking her again!
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 is highly dependable. She came twice a day for the last 12days to let my cat out and back in the house while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and questions, and went the extra mile (or couple blocks) to try and find my cat when she hadn’t returned for the day. We really appreciate London and hope she’s available the next time we need someone.
We booked Paul to do drop in visits for my two cats while we were away on a trip. Paul was amazing with our cats! He was super communicative, sent great updates and photos, and made sure our cats were happy and well cared for while we were away. Everything was left clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be booking Paul again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burien is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $43 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,598 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burien. On Rover:
- 86% 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.
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.
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.
