“Gregg did multiple visits each day to take care of our two dogs while we were away. He was super punctual and always sent photos; it's a great relief to have someone reliable that you can trust with your pets so you can enjoy your vacation. We definitely recommend Gregg!”
About: Hi, I’m José! I recently graduated from Rutgers University and moved to the DMV area to pursue a career in public service. I grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to keep your pet safe and loved while you’re away. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication instructions, or simply keeping them company. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable with me. I’d be happy to be your pet’s new best friend while you’re away! I currently work a 9-to-5 schedule about four days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pet. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as select weekdays with advance notice. I always try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom routines, and any other preferences their pet may have.
“We recently met Amy and have used her for our pet care needs twice in the last two months - once for a long weekend away and again for a longer two week trip. Amy was really flexible with some last-minute scheduling conflicts, and super communicative. Our kitties loved Amy's daily drop-in visits (even our skittish and very shy kitty was so happy to see her) and we were so relieved to be able to travel with peace of mind in knowing Amy was looking after our buddies as she would her own.”
“Jon and his fiancee were so wonderful! They came in clutch last minute, and were super communicative, thoughtful, and sweet to our pup. Will absolutely book with them again!”
“I highly recommend Delina. She was great with Rocko and incredibly flexible with scheduling, which I truly appreciated. Communication was great, and I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. You can tell she genuinely cares”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11. When I got my first dog. I would to walk, feed and bathe her. After I gained a new appreciation for family pets I’m currently working part-time. I’m working the closing shift. Because of this I normally do walk and sitting on my free days and/or in the morning/afternoon. I also make sure to take care of the animals in my care with the highest quality of care that can be provided to the pet.
About: I treat every dog as if they were my own. Through caring for my own dog and helping friends and neighbors with theirs, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and positive interactions are. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Caring for pets is already a part of my everyday life. I care for my own dog every day, so I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine with walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and can easily adjust my schedule to make sure each pet receives reliable, loving care and stays comfortable in their usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a safe, clean, and loving environment while following their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Michael was amazing! When there were issues accessing my apartment, Michael communicated quickly and clearly with me. He was very flexible and made sure Brady was taken care of! Would definitely trust Michael to watch Brady again.”
About: My work day is super flexible, as I run my own online business. I love to walk and am obsessed with dogs, so your pup can get plenty of activity if they like to be outside. I don’t have any of my own pets (my fiancé and I need to agree on what kind of dog we want) so I’m happy to take care of yours! I have been around my sister’s chocolate lab a ton and used to watch the neighborhood dogs when I was younger. My work day allows me to plan my schedule around your pup. I love to be outside and walk and can give your dog plenty of attention. Let’s get our steps in 🐾 While I do not have a fenced yard, I will keep your pup on a leash, whether we’re bopping out to use the ̶b̶a̶t̶h̶r̶o̶o̶m̶ ̶ grass, or going on a walk.
“Your fur baby will be well looked after of with Daniela. She is very caring, thoughtful and has excellent communication and follow through. My dog fell in love with her. I was able to go out of town and feel confident that my girl was in good hands!”
“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”
“Pascaline is a happy, outgoing person, and my small, somewhat shy dog took to her right away. Pascaline was able to “read” Zena and her need for calm and gentleness as well as a kind spirit. She kept us informed and included photos. I returned to a very happy little dog. Will request her services again!”
“Onnicka is my go-to cat sitter when I’m out of town. She always provides excellent care for my two cats and I feel comfortable leaving them in her capable hands. I highly recommend her services!”
“Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”
“I had a rover that cancelled mid-trip and fortunately Mia was able to take over the booking on only a few hours notice. She was super responsive and punctual and we were able to rest easy knowing our dogs were in good hands.”
“Thalia was great! She came to do drop ins with my dog and cat over the weekend and did a great job. The boys were very happy with their care. Thalia even was able to do a quick meet and greet prior to the scheduled drop ins to make sure the boys were comfortable with her.”
About: Hi, I’m Erika! I share my DC home with two very different dogs: Eljay, a high-energy mini Bernedoodle who needs a real workout, and Bisou, a tiny terrier mix who runs entirely on her own agenda. Caring for both of them has made me a genuinely better walker. I know what an overstimulated dog looks like. I know when a dog needs to slow down, not speed up, and when they need a little extra engagement and attention. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, a mid-day potty break, playtime, medication, feeding, puppy care, senior dog care, or just some company during a long day, I’ll follow your routines and give them my full attention every single visit. What actually sets me apart is my availability. I’m a music teacher with afternoon and evening hours, so my mornings and middays are open. That’s exactly when most dogs need care. When I show up, I’m present. Your dog won’t be treated like just another stop on a long route. I work with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, rescue dogs, and high-energy breeds that need more than a quick loop around the block. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining the routines that help dogs feel secure and happy. Every visit includes photos and a detailed update, so you’ll always know how your dog is doing. If anything seems off, I’ll communicate right away. I proudly serve Brookland, Woodridge, Michigan Park, Edgewood, Brentwood, Capitol Hill, and nearby Northeast DC neighborhoods. I always start with a free meet-and-greet so we can make sure it’s the right fit before booking. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I work as a music teacher with afternoon and evening commitments, which makes me genuinely available mid-morning and midday most days. Weekends work well too. For recurring bookings I aim for consistent timing so your pet settles into a reliable routine, and I always send a photo update so you know the visit went well. I've been around animals my whole life and I take the responsibility of caring for someone else's pet seriously. I follow your instructions, respect your home, and pay attention to how your pet is feeling, whether something seems different, whether they need a little more time or a little more space that day. I'll always let you know how the visit went and reach out right away if anything gives me pause. Leaving a pet in someone's care requires real trust, and I don't take that lightly.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Rainier
Another wonderful experience!! From the updates, great communication, and photos all through the entire drop in visit.. I love not only hearing but seeing my pup is having a good time and happy when I am away it warms my heart and just puts me at ease all around knowing she is getting the love and care she deserves when I'm away. I can't thank you guys enough for the services you provide to our loved animals!
Madeleine was an awesome drop-in pet sitter for my parrot! She tried very hard to befriend my scared parrot, and left her nuts as treats. Communication was awesome, with Madeleine sending daily pictures and special collages she had created. I’ll definitely use her again.
Hunter and Joey had the wonderful experience of having Jacquelyn as their drop-in sitter. I decided to try drop-in visits, after several unsuccessful attempts to find boarding options. I liked Jacqueline’s profile and she was the first person that I contacted. Fortunately, she accepted and was the perfect choice for Hunter and Joey who are rescues. Hunter likes to adjust to people on her own terms; Joey is terrified of everything and everyone. During our meet and greet, both became comfortable with Jacquelyn and it was obvious that she loves dogs, has extensive experience, and understands how to handle different temperaments and personalities. She provided photos and detailed notes of her visits and interactions with them. Jacquelyn is 5 stars+.
So many great things to say about Natalie!! She took my booking the same day even though she was not feeling well earlier in the morning she still showed up to care for my Mocha! I had some internet issues right before she was do to leave out and she helped out even more by trying to assist me in fixing the issues with my internet so the tvs would be left on for Mocha while Noone is there. She is truly very caring and communicates very well during her visits! I can't praise her enough! Thank you for everything Natalie!

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
