“So happy Lauren was able to extend her visits with my pups when I was unable to come back on my pre-scheduled tome!! I so appreciate her willingness and flexibility!!”
About: Complete animal lover. Grew up with dogs and dog sitting for neighbors. Currently have one senior Beagle named Ruby who is great with all animals. I work from home so I can give your pet attention throughout the day. Morning walks, lunch walks, evening walks, you name it. Active dogs are no issue for me to care for. I walk my dog multiple times daily as we do not have a fenced in yard. Ruby loves having company with her on her walks.
“We had such piece of mind having Shelli care for our Maisie girl. From the initial meet and greet, to the follow up communications, and then our first drop in last Sunday, we felt like we could take a deep breath and trust in Shelli. Our Maisie girl now requires heart meds 3x a day and they have to be timely, which typically leaves the mid day pill challenging, if you want a social life or have a work schedule that goes hay wire. She's professional, showed up on time, and I could tell from the meet and greet that she and our girl would be fast friends. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 2 rescues, both with their own different anxiety triggers and medication needs, that I have had for 9+ years. For boarding in my home, I have a fully fenced yard large enough for zoomies and fetch, and safe streets for walks. I am out of the house for no more than 8 hours during the weekdays. Friday-Sunday, the dogs get walks, plenty of outside time if they ask for it, and treats and love. Monday-Thursday, walks are either in AM or PM, or both. Access to fenced yard at all times. Let me know the particulars about your pet's needs/issues and I'll be sure to put away any items (plants, shoes, toys), to stick to only approved treats, and that they get time outdoors.
“I’m so grateful for Carrianne for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy Freddy. He’s warmed up to her so well, which says everything. She’s reliable, incredibly attentive, and always keeps me updated, giving me total peace of mind. I truly trust her and appreciate her so much!”
“Anna was SO helpful and went above and beyond with our two cats while we were away. We accidentally locked them in a room and she helped them get out and made sure they had water and food. She sent pictures and videos. Would recommend her :)”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
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. I maintain a secure space at home or deliver reliable care at yours, prioritizing your dog’s safety, comfort, and regular exercise.
“Alex was great with my cats. She was able to finally find my timid kitty, and then it was all fun and games. She even offered to water my plants! She was very dependable and communicated well.”
“Mary Marie provided great care for our two dogs and cat! We booked slightly last minute and she worked with our schedule to squeeze in a meet and greet before we left. She used the app to let us know when she was here and to give great updates— anecdotes and photos. We appreciated her care of our high maintenance dogs and her ability to give everyone oral meds!”
“Diana was extremely responsive and responsible in taking care of our very spoiled cat, Meru. I could not possibly have higher praise for thoroughness in responding to every email and sending updates while my S.O. and I were on vacation. Diana will definitely be our go-to for caring for Meru the next time we are away. Thank you so much Diana!”
“Christiana is the best and has cared for our 2 cats numerous times over the past year. Always reliable, communicative and attentive to each cat’s needs and moods. It gives us peace of mind while we’re away knowing they enjoy being around Chris and are well taken care of!”
About: My biggest wish as a kid was to own a big dog, I now have 4 huskies (40-80lbs) and a chihuahua. I have 8 years with them now and have seen it all. I have learned all about their body language and how they communicate. Ill be comfortable even if you have a reactive dog. we can work together if they are in training. I am an early bird. I'm up at 5, ready scripture, walk my dogs and ready by 7am. Now that my kid is in school I'm free till 3 pm I have experience with heavy pullers, if your dog pulls its no biggie to me. I can take my time for the dogs that like to smell and/or run if you have a puppy with energy!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burien
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.
Tyler and Alexis are by far my favorite pet sitters! Tyler went above and beyond taking care of my elderly cat Jazzy. He sent many pictures of her and details of what he did to make sure that she got all of her meds, was kept clean, happy and even played with her-all while keeping her litter boxes clean and followed my detailed instructions. Thank you Tyler for such a great job and peace of mind on my vacation. I will be hiring you again for sure!!
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!
Ana took incredible care of our girls on short notice! She made sure everything was taken care of and took the time to play and love on them while we were gone. They really seemed to warm up to her quickly and enjoy being around her. She even stayed long one day after one of the girls ate a small piece of string during play time to make sure she was ok. We couldn’t have hoped for someone better!
Jeannie goes above and beyond. I can’t say that enough. She took such good care of our kitty!! She’s played games with her and gave her so much love and attention. She also did extra things while we were away, even asked if she could take the trash out for us on trash day! She’l thinks of everything and is so thoughtful! It didn’t take long for our cat to warm up to her and we feel so much better about leaving knowing our cat is under the care of Jeannie. Thank you Jeannie!!!
Harley was amazing and I definitely would use her again to watch my cat on our next trip. She was always timely in replying to messages and arrived when she said she would. I felt that she took great care of my cat and was able to administer his meds. I appreciated the extra time she spent for a meet and greet. It really help me to feel comfortable leaving my pet in her care

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burien is $27 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $41 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 October 2026, there are 12,608 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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
