About: Hello! I am Anna. I have experience caring for young and elderly dogs from Newfoundland’s, labs, boxers, and border collies, and a few cats here and there. I have worked with dogs (and cats) that are a bit higher maintenance and need more day to day care (medication, special food, etc) as well as pups who are very easy going. While in Iceland I also took care of two arctic foxes at the Arctic Fox Center, with daily feeding and playing in their enclosure. I’d be very excited to meet any dogs or cats who need some care while their parents are out of town, or who just need a walk every so often throughout the week. I am back in the US visiting family right now with a variable schedule as I will occasionally pick up shifts working in marine mammal protection or as an EMT. Looking forward to meeting your best friends! I am back in the US visiting family and I currently have a varied and flexible schedule that I am happy to coordinate with you and your pet on. I have always been taught to leave a place better than I found it, so you can rest assured I will find a way to do that if you ask me to stay in your home. I like to ensure pets feel comfy and cozy in their homes while I’m there or when I pop in for a visit. I like to make sure the pet has everything they need and that all hazards are out of reach. Growing up with a Newfoundland and multiple labs this is something I know all too well.
About: I have had pets ever since I can remember! My parents currently have two golden retrievers and two kittens that are well-loved. We raised the dogs since they were puppies, and our former cat was with us until her old age. I am very involved in taking care of the family pets, and I have experience pet-sitting dogs and cats outside of my family. I am here to keep your pet happy and safe! I am organized and passionate, so I can adapt to each pet's unique needs. I love going for long walks or using a toy to keep pets engaged. If requested, I will send photos and check-ins during the visit as well. I am currently an undergraduate student, and I have a part-time summer job as an ice cream scooper downtown! I am not studying in the summer, but I will be studying full-time in the fall. Please discuss with me beforehand how long the pet can be left alone during the day. I am not currently offering boarding services in my home. For overnight pet sitting, I will make sure to discuss the pet's needs in detail before the stay so that I can take care of him/her well. Please tell me how your pet likes to be entertained so that I can give your pet some extra love while I am there!
“We had to leave last minute for a family emergency and Ivana was super helpful, responsive, and easy going. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to us leaving. She was understanding with schedule changes too. I would highly recommend Ivanna for your sitting needs.”
“Amy is great! She’s super patient and great with my reactive dog. Her photos and videos make it clear my dog is comfortable and happy in her care. I feel totally at ease knowing my pup is in her hands!”
“Eric was very thorough with his visit recaps and took very good care of my dog. He always arrived at my house at our agreed time, gave her medicine and hung out with her while she ate dinner as she is sometimes an anxious lady. I will definitely use Eric's services again in the future as my doggy was in such good care with him!”
“Boy did the dogs miss Timothy (son was home from college and so we paused our drop-ins). They played so hard yesterday and today. And the pictures her provides are so good at capturing their playfulness.”
“Jeannie was amazing with our kitties! They normally take some time to adjust to new people but they LOVED playing with Jeannie. We got so many photos and videos of the kitties playing. I could tell our cats really looked forward to her visits!”
“Paul, was absolutely amazing! Our cat Auggie loved him. We could have had a better sitter and we will absolutely have Paul take care of our pets in the future. I highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Michele is a fantastic pet sitter! We had her do a few drop in visits for our cat while we were away from home for a week and our cat loved her interactions with Michele. -Great communication and pre-visit -Sent updates with photos from each visits and a little story each time We would highly recommend Michele!”
“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.”
“Harley did a great job with our kitties on super-short notice, including giving our cat Max his pill and doing a late night appointment. She was quick to come by, meet the cats, sort things out, and is very positive. And the kitties seem to like her! We'll definitely reach out to her again in the future.”
“Ashley did a great job caring for my cats while I was in Asia! She wrote good notes in the app every day, included extra photos and videos, and she really seemed to bond with my cats! They seemed to trust her which I appreciate. I also had a bit of an issue and she ended up fitting me into her schedule sort of last minute, which I really appreciate. She was a great sitter. I would absolutely book her again!”
“Kevin is so attentive. You can tell from the first minute he loves dogs and really understands how to communicate with them. He took time to really get to know our dog and we felt so comfortable with him. Will be requesting his services again!”
About: I am trained in animal welfare by AZA accredited institution, and committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I am ready to help active dogs burn off energy with walks, run, and play. I am a long time pet owner and my first dog care experience came from my pet cockapoo "Felix". I base my daily and weekly routine around the wants and needs of the animals I am caring for to ensure their comfort and wellbeing. I keep pets comfortable by providing care in their own homes, following their routines exactly as instructed and communicating with owners as needed or wanted. On walks or trips to parks, I ensure safety with double checking leashes, getting to know the pets temperament, and staying cautious.
“Our dog walker is fantastic - the dogs adore her and are always excited to see her. She has really developed a special bond with them over time. They eagerly greet her at the door, ready for belly rubs. Thanks to her consistent presence and confidence, they have established a great routine. We will definitely think of her whenever we need a sitter, she truly is the best!”
About: I have experience with big dogs, medium dogs, and small dogs. I take great care in updating my clients on what’s happening with their pets. I’m working as a substitute Paraeducator so my days can be flexible depending on circumstances. I’ve stayed overnight in peoples houses looking after their pets while also staying at their place all day I always ask clients when I visit where and when pets are allowed in certain parts of the house and yard. I want to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible.
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.

About: I’ve been a caretaker of animals for most of my life! Experience with: Puppies, Kittens, Disabled (Blind, Deaf and Amputated pets) and Senior animals.

Harley was fantastic! She asked all the right questions during our meet-and-greet, and even our shy cat seemed to warm up to her quickly. She arrived on time every morning, which our cats definitely appreciated, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Harley again the next time we leave town!
Liz was an incredible help with my cat Monty! Liz bonded with Monty very quickly. Liz also gave detailed updates, was prompt, and took care of everything that I asked. Monty was well cared for and I received several cute pictures each visit so that I could see how he was doing, which was reassuring. I highly recommend and will rebook Liz next time I leave town!
We had to leave last minute for a family emergency and Ivana was super helpful, responsive, and easy going. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet prior to us leaving. She was understanding with schedule changes too. I would highly recommend Ivanna for your sitting needs.

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!
Timothy always goes above and beyond for us, like bringing in our packages even though we didn't ask (thank you Timothy!!). Our cat Pepper loves him very much, which is saying something because she is a very shy girl. We always feel good leaving her in Timothy's care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burien on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,856 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
