About: Hi! My name is Kaitie and I’m a reliable, caring animal lover who enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a consistent routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving excellent care. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion! I’m available to care for your pets Saturday–Monday and every other Tuesday. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or companionship, I’m happy to provide reliable and loving care during those days. Message me anytime to check availability for your dates! 🐶🐱💕 I treat every pet as if they were my own—with kindness, patience, and lots of attention. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I focus on maintaining their normal routine and making them feel loved and comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need while you’re away. I always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.
“Raenell did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. She stayed in communication prior to the stay to prepare and remained in communication while we were away. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to accommodate the extension. We are very grateful to know our pup is in good hands.. .”

“What a pleasure it was to go away knowing my little man was in good hands. Mariela did a great job taking care of our Chihuahua,Bear, which at first is no easy task, but she mastered it. I would highly recommend Mariela and will use her services again in the future without hesitation. Wonderful job, everyone was happy. Thank you.”

“Erica was so lovely, patient, and communicative! We potentially needed a last minute sitter for the weekend, and she was so kind while we waited to confirm that we did in fact need help. Our meet and greet went wonderfully and all of our pets instantly loved her. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. We'll definitely book with her again!”

About: Hello! My name is MaKenzie, I am 24 years old and I grew up around dogs my entire life so this is not something that is new to me! I have been watching animals since I was 16, and have always loved it. I have watched all different kinds of animals from pigs and chicken all the way to bunnies and reptiles. I live in a house with a great yard (unfenced) with my dog Mochi. My dog is a female Doberman who LOVES to play. Mochi is extremely energetic so we do play and walk a lot. If your dog is similar, and as energetic as Mochi, then this would be a great spot for them! I’m currently running dog/cat sitting as a full time business, so I have all the time in the world. I also work part time for another company with hours around 11am-1pm. Whenever dogs visit they get free roam of the house along with my pup! Dogs do remain on leashes when going outside as I don’t have a fence. Dogs are not allowed unattended outside at all.
“I can't say enough good things about Beth! We were in a bind when we found out our pup may need surgery for a torn ligament just a day before our week long trip, and Beth stepped in to help us with such grace and professionalism. She took the time to understand our dog's special needs and ensured he was comfortable and cared for while we were away. Beth provided regular updates, sending us photos and messages that put our minds at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares for animals and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. We can't thank her enough for her kindness and expertise. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

“Did an amazing job of taking care of my two pups. Especially with one being dog aggressive she took extra precautions and did everything I asked. She sent me tons of pictures which I loved and was a very good at communicating. She stayed the night and had the house as I left it and even washed my sheets and made my bed after! All in all I’d recommend macynn for all your dogs needs will be going back for sure!”


“Skye-Anne was a fantastic house sitter for our two geriatric pups! She was very good about sending daily images of our pups. There was a situation where one of our pups had chee”

About: I recently moved to the Gorge from Asheville, NC, and I am so excited to meet you and your pups! My deep love for animals began at a very young age. Growing up, I was surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes -from dogs and cats to farm animals, reptiles, and birds. That lifelong passion led me into a rewarding career in animal care. I have been a full-time professional dog groomer and daycare/boarding specialist for the past 20 years. I also have experience at a veterinary emergency center. In my free time, I would volunteer to walk shelter dogs. I understand that every dog is unique. Over two decades, I have developed extensive experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I specialize in a slow, patient approach for nervous or shy dogs who need extra reassurance, and I am highly experienced in administering necessary medications. I treat every pet like family. My very first dog, an Airedale mix, lived to be 16 and a half years old. She had a long, beautiful life that I attribute to deep love, care, and proper attention. I bring that same standard of love and dedication to every animal I meet. I look forward to meeting you! I am currently a stay at home mom and we enjoy walking and hiking every day! Your pet will be included in everything! I understand some dogs enjoy lazy days too and I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I usually begin my morning with a walk and end it with one before bed. I am available to stay at your home or mine. I base this by whatever will make your pet feel the most comfortable. I have a friendly dog named Gator who misses playing with dogs while I worked at the grooming salon so bad, so I’m sure he’d be excited to join! We love going to the Bingen point “ dog park,”walking around the neighborhood near Daubenspeck park, Catherine creek, North Western, b.z falls, and the klickitat trail!
About: I LOVE LOVE ANIMALS!!! I have a great passion for pet care and personally understand what its like wanting to make sure they are safe, doing well and have everything they need while you are away. I would love to assist with taking them for walks, feeding them or cleaning the litter box. I'm also okay with cleaning up behind them if they should have an accident. In addition, I would be more than happy to give them some playtime while creating a new friendship. Since I am mobile, I would come to you so that your pet would be more at ease with me while already being comfortable in their own home whether it's in the daytime or nighttime.(Overnights available on Sun, Mon, Tues).Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you need that special someone you can trust with your fur babies. I'm excited to make some great new furry friends! You won't be disappointed! Thank you in advance for the opportunity :) I'm available on Sun-Tues from 9am-8pm for overnights/house-sitting, drop ins, walks or pet sitting). I can also do drop ins on Wed-Sat. (mornings only-no walks on these days) I will care for pets in your home. I will make sure they have food, water and also clean the cat litter and walk the dog. I can also brush them if you would like. Lastly, give them lots of love and hugs.
“Aislynn took good care of my older dog, taking notes during our meet and greet to make sure that she had all the information she needed. He got plenty of time and attention, and I returned to a house and dog that were both in great shape.”

“Karen was an incredible dogsitter and we feel luck to have found her! She was communicative, great with our high-energy dog and took good care of our home. We look forward to Karen dogsitting in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for pets has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. Over the years, friends and family have consistently trusted me to care for their pets as if they were my own—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship and love. I take pride in being a dependable, compassionate sitter who creates a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away. I have a 4-yr old dog now named, Buckaroo, who is amazing with a majority of dogs. I work remotely for Aya Healthcare, a nurse and Locums management company. I am free to get away to walk your pet, or even stay at your place overnight and work from there. Plenty of schedule flexibility. I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest to help reduce stress. I ensure a safe, clean environment, give plenty of affection and exercise, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including administering basic medications if needed. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.

“This was a huge step for me to trust someone with not only my guys but my home. Jenn understood my concerns and made a special trip down for a meet and greet. She sent multiple updates during the day and her pictures showed how relaxed Brady was with her. She left the house spotless, and I had a very happy dog when I got home. I definitely recommend her, and I look forward to her sitting again when needed.”

“Marie was amazing!!! I am such a helicopter fur mama but I was quickly assured they were in great hands. Thorough communication, lovely updates, and my pups + kitty were as happy as can be when I came home. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Thank you so much Marie! 🙌 Moose, Evie, & Mazzy miss you already! ☺️🐾”


About: My care strategy is built entirely around continuity. I don't believe in disrupting a dog's established habits. If your pup is used to an early morning walk, strict crating boundaries, or a highly specific feeding and medication schedule, I replicate that routine exactly. I provide structured, attentive care. Ensuring high-energy dogs get the physical outlet they need, while older or more anxious dogs get a calm, reassuring presence. When your dog is with me, their comfort, safety, and daily rhythm are my top priorities." Currently, I work a night shift from 10 PM to 6 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. I am fully available for early morning walks and drop-in visits between 6 AM and noon, as well as quick evening check-ins from 8 PM to 10 PM. On Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday...my schedule is completely open for open-ended daytime care, extended drop-ins, and flexible walking routines." When providing care, I focus on strict adherence to your established household environment protocols, including exact feeding rules, crating preferences, and secure entries to prevent any escape attempts. I maintain transparent communication by sending detailed photo updates and text check-ins after every visit. Whether your dog needs cautious, slow pacing on a walk or structured, calm boundaries inside the home, I ensure a completely secure and reliable environment where they feel safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,471 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Rains. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Rains walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Rains maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fort Rains choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
