“This was my first time boarding and being away from my pup for an extended period, so I was a bit nervous at first. Nicole helped put my mind at ease, and I came back to a happy, well cared for pup. Very grateful!”
“Christian truly saved the day for me during a family emergency. She responded quickly, was very flexible, and took such good care of Caia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Caia was with someone so kind and reliable. I’m very grateful and would absolutely trust her again.”
“Nadia was spectacular! She walked Ginsburg regularly and kept us updated on her activities, most regularly with photos. She wanted to send more updates, but I shared that it was unnecessary. Periodically would be fine. As a new owner of a 6-month-old puppy, and a first-time boarder, I know that puppy-energy can sometimes be a challenge. Nadia took it all in stride, providing a safe and suitable environment…and assuaging any trepidations we may have had as first-time Rover users. Thx, Nadia!”
“Beth was fantastic with Marty! She sent frequent photos and updates, and Marty was calm and content when I picked him up. An extra bonus is that he had a frenchie friend to hang out with! I will definitely request Beth’s services again.”
“Maryjo and Jon were great. They were easy to coordinate with and took great care of our dog like it was their own. Hope to book them for future dog sitting.”
“Caleb was fantastic—friendly and communicative. Lisboa had a wonderful time staying with him, and having another friendly dog around for her to play with was an absolute bonus for keeping her socialized and active. She came home happy and well-cared for. I would definitely trust Caleb to watch Lisboa again!”
“The dogs loved Stephanie and had a great stay. She was very accommodating to our large energetic dogs and and was very responsive for booking.”
“Fantastic service, will book again! Really appreciate the excellent care and communication, and the kindness and flexibility when I needed to extend my booking because my travel schedule changed. Felt assured that my cats were safely integrated into a new temporary family and well taken care of while I was away.”
“Aaron and Paweena were great with our dog Toby (9 yrs old mini schnauzer) while we were out of town for over a week. They were flexible and understanding when our travel home was delayed, and shared pics and videos of Toby while we were away. Toby seemed really relaxed and happy at pick-up from Aaron and Paweena's place. We'll definitely reach out again when Toby needs looking after -- highly recommend :)”
“I could not recommend Kelly and Cal more enthusiastically! They took great care of our two babies, sent frequent updates including videos and pictures, were super responsive -- and were SO easy and flexible! I needed to add time to our scheduled visit and they happily rolled with that. Plus, I was a few minutes late picking up and they were fine with that too! Most importantly, our doggies were happy and healthy. Will definitely rebook!”
“Lara is the absolute best! Our dog, Bam, gets so excited when he sees her! She takes great care of him, and she’s super easy to coordinate with. This is our go-to sitter in DC!”
“Coralis recently watched Brinkley while I went out of town. She is so good with him even though he is anxious and nervous when I’m gone. It sounds like she tries so hard to make him comfortable and happy while I’m away. She took extra good care of him during some bad weather in which he was terrified of the thunder. I so appreciate everything she does for him!!”
About: I am a true Capitol Hill dog lover and I have always had a strong passion for animals, mostly for dogs. I have been caring for dogs since I was child, taking care of my mother’s beloved shitzu. Taking care of her helped me acquire basic canine behavior and taught me the responsibility of taking care of a pet. Most recently I raised my own best friend, Gelato an English Bulldog. I gained my breeder experience with Gelato and cared for her and her 6 puppies, until they were rehomed at 8 months. I enjoy taking long walks, which I consider the ultimate stress reliever and best way to exercise. I have no problem getting my hands dirty. I have 20 years of experience in the customer service field and enjoy striving to provide the best experience to my clients. In my personal time I am spending time with my 2 little girls teaching them how to play sports, and of course how to be loving pet owners. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I’m currently working part time and will be available to walk most pets during early mornings hours during the week and mid day and evenings during the weekend. I definitely would like to know your pets temperament, and what might scare them. I know they will feel most comfortable at home but if they are with me, I’d like to keep a calm, pet friendly setting for them to be comfortable in.
“Natalia and Edward were wonderful with my dog, Olly! From the start, they were kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olly in their care. Throughout the week, they sent me regular updates and lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated, it was so nice to see how happy he looked. They clearly took great care of him and made sure he got plenty of attention and love. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Natalia and Edward to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”
“Dylan is fantastic! We booked him to watch our dog Bruno, and he went above and beyond from the very start. He was kind enough to set up a meet-and-greet a few days before our booking, which immediately gave us so much peace of mind and helped Bruno feel comfortable with him. During the stay, Dylan kept us completely updated every single morning with a detailed report of Bruno's behavior and daily routine. The photos he sent showed Bruno looking so relaxed and happy. Dylan is incredibly flexible, a great communicator, and always quick to respond to messages. I couldn't be happier knowing Bruno was in such wonderful company. I recommend Dylan 100%!”
“Juan & Felipe (and Roma!) were fantastic hosts for Maple. They were very communicative and Maple was well cared for. She'll definitely be staying with them again!”
“Rachelramone watched Gigi for the week while we were away and gave her incredible care! From regular updates and pictures to wiping her feet daily (she needs special care) she went above and beyond to keep Gigi happy. She pays close attention to the care details needed but also shows genuine love and care for your pet. We feel so lucky to have found her to watch our Gigi!”
“We had a wonderful experience! She was kind, professional, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. We felt completely comfortable leaving Kal in her care, and it was clear he had a great time and really enjoyed his stay. We’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Melanie is the absolute sweetest! She took such good care of Duck & sent very cute pictures. I will definitely book again when I need to go out of town!”

Rachel was wonderful with my Maltese, who is very sweet but can be reactive on walks. She called me ahead of the booking to get an understanding of his routine and made me feel confident she could handle any issue that arose. She lives on a quiet block and was waiting out front for us so drop-off was easy and she was very sensitive to making him feel comfortable with the hand-off. She sent lots of photos — she’s really a good photographer! — from walks and the nearby park, which he was clearly loving. Rachel was very accommodating as I updated my arrival time and was again waiting out front for a very easy pick-up after a long drive. Really appreciated all her positive communication. She’s clearly an animal lover and I know my guy will enjoy staying with her again.
Lisa was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dogs, and we could tell how happy and comfortable they were with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for her care and attention, and we would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
Pascaline is amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our 15 year old with health issues and 8 year old active lab in her care. Her communication is impeccable and she made sure to engage both dogs with enrichment that was appropriate for their temperaments and needs.
Christopher was the perfect dog sitter!! He loved and cared for our dog like he was his own. Christopher was thoughtful, accommodating, and attentive to our dog, who is nervous, reactive, and had to take medication during the board. None of this phased Christopher, who gave our dog every bit of care and attention he needed (and then some)! He had excellent communication from initial inquiry to meet and greet to boarding. Christopher is a dog person through and through. Our dog was so loved at his house. I will be booking again with Christopher!!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Mount Rainier can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mount Rainier home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Mount Rainier.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mount Rainier sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
