“Sharmily took excellent care of my Zoey. When Zoey first met her she hid under the couch but by the end of my visit Zoey was greeting her at the door. She also took tons of photos, videos, and left cute little messages about what Zoey was up to.”

About: Im a DC based management consultant with a soft spot for “furry baes”! I’m an experienced pet owner looking to help out my neighbors. You can count on me to be affectionate, trustworthy, and professional. When I’m not working or pet sitting, you can find me at a gallery opening, a new restaurant, at the local movie house, or spending time with my cat Javier. I fostered a dog this summer, and although I loved her dearly, I found her a fantastic home and taught her a few tricks! I love animals of all kinds, and they love me back! Contact me to schedule a visit. I’d love to meet your furry family member! I was unfortunately laid off last year from my consulting career. But that’s ok! I now have more time to connect with nature, decompress, and nurture my inner animal lover! I believe the best sitters and walkers enter your home with good energy, as animals often recognize when a human is well intentioned. I know how to approach pets, and most importantly, wait for them to approach me.

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: From sitting to walking to training I have done it all! I have experience with many different breeds of all sizes and I love them all! I also have experience with working dogs including service dogs in-training. I'm currently a part-time student, so I will have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve! I'm available most weekdays and some weekends. I have been a trusted walker for many of the dogs in my life. I also know many different enrichment activities for dogs and am happy to play and engage with any dog at their own pace!

About: I believe it is not only that I like dogs - I believe dogs like me. Dog walker out of Manor Park, NW DC I'm a lifelong dog person. I grew up with Labs and I have had dogs of my own throughout my life as an adult. I am an active person who is not shy about the weather. Rain, snow, and heat don't bother me, and your dog gets a proper walk regardless of the forecast. I come from the school of thought, "there is no bad weather, just bad gear choices." What you can expect: I'll arrive on time, follow your routine (leash, route, treats, any quirks), and send you a photo and short update after each walk. I also dabble in photography, so you'll get good pictures of your pup. Normally I travel with a bag of kibble to give the dogs a small treat at the end of our walk. The dogs really seem to enjoy the treats. I'm happy to do a free meet-and-greet first so your dog and I can get to know each other. Where I walk: Manor Park and nearby neighborhoods, with Rock Creek Park and local parks for longer walks. Midday weekday walks are my specialty, and I'm flexible on days and times. The walk destination usually depends on the location of the house that the dog lives. When in Silver Spring I normally migrate to the closest neighborhood park or Sligo Creek. It all depends on a combination of location and duration of the walk. About me: Just over a year as a professional dog walker on top of my spend with my dogs and the family dogs. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes. I'm active, outdoorsy, and reliable, and I treat every dog's walk like it's my own. Currently working part time. The job is flexible so I have good availability. Also - since I am only working part time. Dog walking will be my second job - I will prioritize it as my job. Your pet's health and well being are priority one. I am strong and healthy and keeping your dog safe and under my control is Priority One. When walking I am alert to my surroundings, always in tune with the variables around me. Watching how the dog responds to the world around them. Anticipating and avoiding any dangers or potential conflict. For boarding - my yard is fenced in and I live walking distance to a wonderful park. My house is casual / dogs are allowed on furniture.

About: Animals have a way of knowing right away if someone is truly present with them. I believe in developing that trust and making a new furry friend. Whether it’s an energetic dog ready to explore or a cautious, reserved cat who needs space before asking for chin scratches, I have an affinity for connecting with pets and treating them with respect. I have experience managing schedules for both dogs and cats keeping feed times, maintaining routines, and making sure your home stays clean and secure while you’re away. I currently work part-time, but I can adapt to your needs at a moments notice. I’m available for boarding on weekends and even weekdays if needed. My approach is based on consistent, clear communication and keeping your pet feeling completely secure, regardless of the environment. I honor your established routines, from feeding schedules and medication timing to timed habits and walk routes, predictably is key. If an unexpected situation or question ever arises, I will contact you immediately rather than guessing. Above all, I treat your home with total respect and care for your pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and safety standards I would expect for my own

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have hands-on experience caring for and raising my own pup. I previously had a dog named Lola, whom I welcomed into my life when she was just two weeks old. I cared for her for five years, giving her daily love, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. As Lola grew, I made the difficult decision to find her a new home with a loving family that had children and a yard where she could have more space and companionship. Although she is no longer with me, caring for Lola taught me how much patience, consistency, and love go into caring for a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to making sure every pup in my care feels safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. 🐶❤️ I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets in my care. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of cuddles into my routine. I’m also comfortable adjusting to each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾❤️ I care for every pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have plenty of fresh water, get regular exercise and playtime, and receive lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I’m respectful of their home, attentive to their safety, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: The level of personalized care and attention I provide to each pet. I treat every animal like my own and take time to understand their unique routines, preferences, and personalities. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time but am home by 4:30 p.m. each day, which allows me to provide consistent evening care, walks, and companionship. My weekends are completely free. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with walking trails and a dog park just a short walk away,perfect for regular exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and quiet time, and always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.

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