“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!”
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.
“Loved the array of hilarious photos, along with the thoughtful conversation while we were away. Lauryn was amazing with our pets (even mentioning the abundance of foxtail around the 'hood). We are looking forward to having her back!!!”
About: Experienced with reactive dogs. With a lifetime spent caring for dogs, cats, and more, I bring years of hands-on experience and am highly observant of animal behavior. I have skills for working with reactive dogs of all temperaments and training levels. Whether your pup is well-managed and needs their training reinforced, or is still learning to navigate the world, I meet each dog where they are. I understand that reactivity isn’t a choice, and I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and a focus on building their confidence and comfort. I also consider it my job to set your dog up for success, by being mindful of avoiding triggers. As a fellow pet parent, I know firsthand how hard it is to leave your loved ones at home. My own journey with Gibson, my reactive rescue and soul-dog, taught me the importance of reliability, trust, patience, and empathy in pet care. What I offer: • Experience with reactive and special needs dogs • Reliable, flexible scheduling (I’m self-employed and work from home) • Limited bookings for focused, individualized care • Skilled in administering pills and liquid medications, always using force-free, creative methods • Commitment to patience, compassion, and positive reinforcement Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their needs and your preferences. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to help your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am generally available midday and after standard working hours (with some morning slots available by special request). I set my own work schedule, so can ensure that your pet receives prompt care as scheduled. I’ve become overly sedentary since my own walking buddy passed away. I can provide leisurely and patient walks for pets who prefer that, and I can also provide energetic and vigorous walk/jogs for more active pets. Having had some stressful experiences with pet care as a pet parent, I am (maybe neurotically) concerned with your pet and property’s safety. First and foremost, I follow your directions. Beyond that, safety and security are paramount. If your pet has any special needs or issues that may require extra vigilance in their supervision or care, please alert me in advance. I have experience with escape artists, and fearful animals whose visits begin with a calm game of “hide and seek.” I had a ten-page care guide for my pet, so please don’t be shy in sharing information and direction that sets me up for success with your pet’s care.
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.

“Michele is great! We're a new client but I'm definitely happy to have her on my short list for dog walkers :) She's quick with communication and sent a few fun picks of my dog on their first walk together.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family for over 7 years. I have experience with walking up to three dogs, drop ins and overnights, administering oral medications on a time sensitive schedule, and providing structure for rambunctious puppies. I love playing fetch in the yard just as much as cuddling on the couch. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I’m currently a student taking online classes and working part time 1-2 days a week in the early morning. I have a very open and flexible schedule. I will take dogs into a fenced yard or go on walks regularly, provide enrichment with toys and treats, following mealtime schedules, and basic cleanup around the house including scooping poop in the yard.
“Kevin was very professional in his check-in's. Answered all my questions and was very easy to work with. Bonded with my dog right away! Will look to use Kevin as my primary Rover. Highly recommended.”
“We are so glad that we met this dream team! They care for our doggo, are right on time, communicative and they send great pics. They’re clearly comfortable around dogs and help calm our anxious girl. Thank you Tyler and Alexis!”

I’m also highly organized and empathetic, making sure your pet feels at home while you're away.

When i am not in meetings i am able to take dogs for walks, play, or will prioritize any training practice needed. Weekends i may have some short commitments during the day, but would always ensure i prioritize spending time with the animals i am caring for and making sure they are fed, taken out, played with, and given the attention they need.

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!

Breeds I've taken care of: Tabbies, Domestic Shorthairs, Labs, Doodles, Golden Retriever, Shih Tzus, Terriers I am a teacher, so I have a lot of flexibility in the summer months! It would be my pleasure to dogsit/catsit for those going away on vacation. Please reach out to me with any questions! I offer home visits, walks and check-ins. I sadly can't offer boarding as I have a pet of my own, but I can do all other Rover services!
“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!”
“John shared plenty of photos of our dog, Finley, showing that he was well cared for and happy. He showed up exactly on time and stayed for the duration requested. We will be using John again and I would recommend him to my friends.”
About: As a certified veterinary assistant, I bring a professional level of care, medical knowledge, and dedicated attention to every visit. My background allows me to confidently administer both oral and injection medications, ensuring that your pet remains on their prescribed health schedule while you are away. Beyond my clinical training, I am a hands-on dog parent to my own three-year-old dog, whom I have successfully trained, giving me a deep understanding of canine behavior, safety, and positive reinforcement techniques. Whether you have a high-energy puppy requiring extra socialization and activity or a senior dog that needs a gentle hand and specialized care, I am equipped to handle all life stages with patience and precision. You can rest easy knowing that your furry family member is in capable, compassionate hands during every walk or drop-in visit.
“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!”
Burien pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.
This was our first time using a pet service - other than family - to watch our 3 kids. We thoughtfully reviewed and chose John due to his extensive background in caring for cats with such positive reviews. Those reviews proved true above and beyond our expectation. John's assurance by letting us know each day how things were going lowered our anxiety and put us at ease. We could tell our little boy bonded easily with John. John had to work hard but was successful at bringing our shy little girl out of hiding and making her feel at ease. Our feral cat was well taken care of. If anything, she gained a pound or two. Her growing comfort with humans didn't skip a beat when we came home. What appears to be John's success is his kind and pleasant demeanor and attention to detail. We look forward to working with John in the future.
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.
My cat (Meru) absolutely adores Diana, and that is definitely not something that can be said about most people. Every time I leave for a trip it’s a relief to know Meru will be well taken care of by Diana. She’s one of the few people I’d trust to watch my picky cat.
Jalal did a great job taking care of my unique pets! I can tell he takes his job as a pet caretaker seriously and treats every pet as if it was his own. Despite being across the country from home, I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that my pets were in good hands! Highly recommend Jalal for your pets, however big or small they may be!
We are so happy with Christina! She took such excellent care of our two wild kittens. She spent great quality time with them each visit, making sure they were fed and watered of course but also playing with their favorite toys. She took many great pictures as well! We knew we had our little fuzzballs in great hands. Would recommend without hesitation!
Paul is amazing! We had a great experience with him! He took wonderful care of Augustus and kept us updated while we were away. Augustus was happy and relaxed when we got home—it’s clear he was well looked after. We’d absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
