About: What sets me apart is the mix of reliable care and genuine love I give every pet. I have experience with both puppies—helping with training and play and senior dogs who need extra patience, medication, and comfort. I always keep owners updated so they feel at ease. I currently work part time and go to school full time. Despite this I am normally free after 2pm so I can give your baby all the time they deserve. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment and following their normal routines. In my home, I provide a secure space, regular playtime, and lots of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, stick to the pet’s schedule, and keep everything consistent so they feel at ease. My priority is building trust and creating a calm, happy environment for every pet.

She made sure that my cat Sigmund took his thyroid medication and kept me informed of everything they were up to. Tandy double checked with me if any questions came up, which I really appreciated. 6/5 stars!!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, growing up in a multi-dog household where caring for animals was simply part of everyday life. As a teenager, I regularly cared for my neighbors’ dogs, and over the years I’ve gained experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and rescue dogs. One of my proudest experiences was rescuing an aggressive stray dog, nursing her back to health, and helping her become a happy, thriving companion. I’ve also raised a puppy from just 8 weeks old, so I’m comfortable with everything from house training and socialization to maintaining routines and reinforcing good behavior. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust through patience, consistency, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic play, or simply relaxing with someone who cares, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and spending time with them never feels like work. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for a member of your family, and I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I’m currently building my schedule while working multiple jobs, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I keep my calendar up to date and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to, so every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious animals, attentive to their behavior, and committed to providing a calm, positive environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and in good hands.

About: As a proud dog parent to a nearly 2-year-old miniature Cavapoo, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My girl is healthy, calm, and friendly, and caring for her has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, proper feeding, and lots of love and attention. I take her on 3–4 walks every day and am very diligent about her safety, comfort, and overall well-being. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and making sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for. I live in a clean, organized, pet-friendly apartment in a walkable neighborhood with nearby grassy areas that are great for walks and outdoor time. My approach to pet care is to treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, personalized care. Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine! As a dog parent, I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding times, exercise, and making sure my pup gets plenty of attention and affection. I typically take my dog on 3–4 walks a day, so adding walks and quality time with your pet fits naturally into my lifestyle. I live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with nearby grassy areas, making it easy to get outside for fresh air, exercise, and bathroom breaks. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. My goal is to make sure your pet receives plenty of care, companionship, and attention while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priorities. As a devoted dog parent, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My apartment is clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with a comfortable environment for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m diligent about keeping pets safe on walks, using appropriate leash precautions, being mindful of our surroundings, and ensuring they get the exercise, food, water, and attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walking routines, medications if needed and within my ability, and any special preferences or care requirements. I also understand the importance of keeping doors secure, monitoring pets appropriately, and respecting their boundaries. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being treated with the same care and consideration I give my own dog. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and affection, and following each owner’s specific instructions. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll keep you updated throughout each visit! I get off of work at a good time to care for your pets in the late afternoons and early evenings. Reliable to meet your needs. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, exercise and playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’ll also send you updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

“Devin and Precious have been such a blessing for Mocha and for me. They treat Mocha with so much love, care, and attention, and it's clear that they genuinely care about her well-being. Mocha absolutely adores them, and hearing and seeing how excited she gets for her walks says it all. Their reliability, kindness, and dedication give me complete peace of mind each day they dropped in on her. I am incredibly grateful for everything they do and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy dog walkers. I know I will be using their services again!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your pets and treat them like my own. I’ve had pets for over 9 years and currently have a cat and dog of my own, so I completely understand how important it is to know that your baby is safe, happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of love and attention! I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’m always happy to follow any specific instructions you have and adjust to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to spend quality time with your pets. Whether your dog needs a good walk to get some energy out, your pet needs company while you’re at work or traveling, or you simply want someone you can trust to check in and make sure everything is okay, I’d be more than happy to help. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love them with a passion. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I would do everything in my power to make sure your baby is well taken care of, loved, and treated with the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible and works around me! I can come morning or afternoon, whatever works best for you and your schedule! I never let my pets go outside without supervision and I am always making sure to shut the door behind me. No need to worry about your pets safety here, your babies become my babies while I take care of them!

About: It has been a while, but I am back to pet sitting. I used to board and pet sit on Rover for years and left for a while for other jobs, but hoping to start it up again. Ever since I was young I have had pets. From dogs, to cats, to lizards, I have had them all. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I have dealt with dogs and cats with anxiety, medical issues, as well as puppies and those that have issues that come with age. I also regularly volunteer at the local animal shelter and have had trainings there on how to deal with dogs from all walks of life. I am happy to play with animals, provide general care, help them get some exercise, or to just hang out with them to provide company. Animals have always brought me joy and I would love the opportunity to hang out with your pets! I work partially from home and can be flexible on those days (Friday through Tuesday), but I am expecting to be furloughed soon which which free up my time more every day of the week. If boarding, I have a fenced in yard and live in a residential area. There several small parks around that I could walk your dog in as well. I do have a dog at home that is friendly with other dogs, but can also easily separate her from other boarded animals as well if that is preferred.

About: I’m a recent law school graduate and lifelong animal lover with two cats of my own. I grew up with dogs and have spent much of my life around pets, so I understand just how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care. With some extra flexibility after graduation, I’d love to spend that time helping care for pets in my community. Whether your pet needs feeding, walks, playtime, company, or simply someone patient to help them feel comfortable while you’re away, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved until you’re back home. As a pet parent myself, I know every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow yours! As a recent law school graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s existing routine whenever possible. Whether it’s a quick check-in, a longer visit, or some much-needed playtime and company, I’m happy to be there. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own routine, personality, boundaries, and needs, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to doors, leashes, feeding instructions, litter boxes, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands while you’re away.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Mount Rainier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mount Rainier is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 16,350 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mount Rainier. 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.

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 Mount Rainier 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.

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.
