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.
“Great communication. Played with our two big, energetic dogs the entire visit. They had so much fun. Will continue to leverage Timothy for drop-ins and look forward to his upcoming overnight stay.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Jeannie was awesome! She came at nearly the exact time we agreed on, I got tons of pictures every day (really good ones I might add!) and when I came home I actually think my cat was disappointed! She kept waiting for me to play with her and I even think photograph her! ?. I am definitely going to use Jeannie in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ashely is super professional and reliable! Dropped in to take care of my two cats a couple days and it went great! She even did a little extra to help out and couldn't ask for anyone better! Will be rebooking in the future!:) thanks Ashley!”
“Lauryn is like our pup's best friend whenever our family is away. Her friendly demeanor, professional communication, and impressive pet knowledge always kept us informed and feeling at ease. We also really appreciate all the adorable photos she sends us while we're away.”
About: Hi! My name’s Martini or Rouge, I just moved back to the Seattle area after years in Georgia, and am in search of part time work. I have experience pet sitting for cats and dogs, as well as experience with pet ownership, including reptiles such as beardies and geckos. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, and have an easygoing temperament that pets tend to get along with as well. I currently have open availability, as I just moved back to the Seattle area and have not yet started other means of employment here, meaning my schedule is fully open for pet care! I give pets love and attention, take them on walks if needed, feed them, and ensure that they have gone potty and any messes made have been cleaned.
“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.”
“Erica was absolutely amazing with my cat, Tigger. She was so attentive, gentle, and truly caring throughout the entire time. It’s not easy finding someone you can trust with your pet, but Erica made me feel completely at ease. Tigger clearly felt comfortable and well cared for—couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: Hi there! I've been a lifelong lover of animals all my life and am absolutely thrilled when I get to spend time around fuzzy and feathered friends. During undergrad and grad school, I looked after the beloved pets of my professors. Now, I have a dog of my own, a 4 year old border-collie mix named Kona, and adore pet sitting for friends when they're out of town. I love to hike, run, and go for walks and would be a great friend for an energetic pup, but I also love to read and cuddle with older or more relaxed friends. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs requiring oral and injectable medication. My dog Kona was very anxious and pulled on the lead when we first rescued him. I've learned how patience and positive reinforcement can do wonders for building a dog's confidence over time. Just like us, dogs can sometimes have bad days, but we can help support and celebrate them as they grow! I would love the opportunity to meet in person to discuss any specific needs your pet might have to ensure that they get the best care while you are away. If you think I could be a good fit for your family, please reach out! I look forward to meeting you. I currently work full time, but would love to schedule regular walks with your pup! I'm available on weekday mornings (6 am - 8 am) or evenings (6 pm onward). I have a flexible schedule on Wednesdays and can do quick 30-minute pet check-ins around the Des Moines, Burien, and White Center areas. I'm available for full day care and overnight stays on the weekends. I know that some dogs can be nervous when their human leaves and need some extra thoughtful care. I can be a calm and patient friend to them during your time away and send ample pupdates to keep you abreast of how they are doing. If I accept a full day or overnight care request, rest assured I will be home with your pup or out exploring with them the full time.
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. I have administered oral medication and eye drops to cats and dogs. 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 (June 25th-August 22nd). 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!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Burien is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
I had a great experience with John dropping by each day to hang out with my cat, Spaghetti. He was extremely flexible and communicative with me while my travel plans changed more than once due to forest fires, which was really helpful during a stressful time! I got tons of pictures and videos, and Spaghetti was clearly very well cared for! I'll definitely be booking John again in the future!
Wonderful sitter, would book again in a heartbeat! Communicative from the start — checked in ahead of time to confirm details, and sent sweet updates after visits letting us know everyone was happy, walked, fed, and loved on. When our booking got a little mixed up on our end, they were patient and easy to work with, confirming every change so we always knew what was happening. Always reliable, caring, and easy to communicate with.
I can’t say enough good things about Jeannie. We hate leaving our cat and Jeannie gave us so much peace of mind! She is prompt with communication, she’s punctual with her visit times, she gives updates after the visit and she seems to genuinely love caring for animals. She also has a great personality. During her visits with our cat, she did all the things she loves. She took the time to do all the things she loves. She really does go above and beyond. Thank you so much Jeannie!! So grateful for you and we highly recommend to others.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Burien on Rover is $24.61 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,850 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.
