“Amazing sitters! We never worry when our pup is in their care. They are great at taking care of all types of different personalities. Would 100% recommend if you want a safe, loving home away from home for your dog!”
About: I've had lots of experience with dogs in my life! Through high school I worked at a grooming salon washing dogs of all different sizes and temperaments. My beloved rat-chi passed away last year and I've been watching friends' and co-workers' dogs since then of all different shapes and sizes. There's a special place in my heart for seniors and lap dogs, but I absolutely love dogs of any size. I'm strong, fit and assertive enough to feel comfortable with dogs 80+ pounds, and intuitive and sensitive enough to cater to the little guys! I'm great with people too - I'm happy to listen to what your dog's needs and routines are and honor those as if they were my own fur babies. Pets are like people and they all have their own wonderful personality. I genuinely look forward to getting to know your special dog! My job is part-time and flexible - I'm home most weekdays for the majority of the day, and weekends can be tailored to your pet. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space for your dog to safely explore and play (always with supervision, of course!). I currently don't own any pets so yours is the star of the show! I'm used to dogs who are crate trained, but if your dog is not crate trained, I am happy to accommodate them as long as they are not property-destructive and as long as they are potty trained. I'll give your dog as much attention and/or space as they like in the home, whether they're feeling shy, clingy, tired or playful. It's normal for dogs to feel out of sorts in a new home with their parents away, and I'm happy to be their new buddy, making sure they feel safe and calm.
About: Hi there! I'm a dog mom of an energetic boxer, Gus. Gus is my first dog, but from a young age, I always walked dogs in the neighborhood. As an adult, I had over 4 years of experience with doggy roommates. I have experiences with many different personalities and sizes so I'm very comfortable with them. Gus is an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash and so love to play with a grieve l friend for a visit. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so I'm around most of the time to monitor play and keep the pets company. If it helps lighten the load when packing, I havethe following items already: Extra dog beds Dog bowls including a slow feeder Feel free to pack these items if course if they will make your pup happier to have their own. A few things I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00 to 5:00. So I'm around the Pets most of the day. I also have a fenced in backyard for the them to run and and get some energy out. I will walk them in the neighborhood and will avoid busy streets. I also don't introduce them to other dogs while walking them to avoid any accidental negative greetings in my care.
“Aaron & Paweena were great and accommodated me so last minute! My sweet boy can be a bit nervous at first when it comes to settling in but he had such a great day and was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day! I came back to him chewing on a treat they gave him & he barely acknowledged me picking him up lol this won’t be my last time booking!”
“Thank you so much again for watching my baby 🐶. I will definitely book him again. My baby was very tired, which was a good thing. She got home and ate and went right to sleep.”
About: Hi! I'm a vet tech student and frequent foster parent for anything from kittens to reptiles and bunnies. I've had experience with many different dog breeds since I was young and handle walking large dogs well. Actively looking for walks, sittings, and check ins! I treat any client as if they were my own pet! Boardings are context dependent since I have two cats! I’m currently in school full time but my courses are online and self paced so I create my own schedule! Available anytime (early morning and late night walks included) I have a fenced patio and live near a park with a long trail. I have two cats (fixed male and female), they’ll pretty much ignore any small dogs but they are easily spooked by big dogs. I can adhere to any feeding schedule, if your dog needs to be crated I can accommodate that.
“I cannot recommend Andre highly enough! He took care of my puppy, Jace, over the weekend, and I was beyond impressed with his care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Jace is still very young and a bit nervous, but Andre was incredibly patient and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the entire time. He provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that Jace was in great hands. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and even seemed more confident! It’s obvious that Andre genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to ensure they feel at home.”
“Our pup Bella had a great time with Pamela during doggy day care. My wife and I appreciated Pamela taking such good care of her while we were at work, and we loved the photo updates she sent!”
“Jasmin looked after our dog Toby for the day, and did a wonderful job of sending sweet pictures throughout his stay. Toby can be skittish around larger dogs, and she did a great job of keeping him apart and comfortable (while also making friends with her Frenchie!) :)”
“Sonja was amazing and helped us out short notice. Our sweet Boomer has anxiety and she was understanding and accommodating with him. She kept us updated with his walks and potty breaks. She promptly responded to messages and sent photos of him settling in. Boomer goes everywhere w us, but couldn’t today due to a last minute trip change, and us having to check out of the hotel. When dropping Boomer off, we immediately felt comfortable with Sonja. We knew that we could leave him w her, enjoy the activity we had planned, and know he was in good hands. 10/10 recommend her and would 100% use her services again when in town.”
“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and enjoy training dogs and puppies as a hobby. You'll be pleasantly surprised to find your dog understands a new command after staying with me for a few days! I currently work from home most days, so I've taken to this as a way to brighten up my day and help folks in the neighborhood with their pet needs. I am reliable, consistent, and follow owner's care instruction to the letter. I also take on a limited amount of clients to ensure that your pet gets quality care.
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my puppy Barry. He played with her puppy and loves staying at her house. Would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for daycare and puppy care.”
“Scout, always a nervous dog, has decided she loves Cassidy and Elizabeth! This visit they played endless fetch and went on an outing in Rock Creek Park. We were so grateful for the great care they took with her. Will will definitely rebook.”
“Maple had such a wonderful time during daycare with Jono! I loved the pictures and videos he shared, and she always came home tired. Drop offs and pick ups were easy. I’d definitely trust Jono with my dog again.”
“Gil was great watching our pup for the day! Very responsive, friendly, and flexible with our somewhat up-in-the-air schedule. Would definitely recommend Gil to others and look forward to rebooking next time we are in need of a sitter.”
About: I currently own a sweet dog named Tyson who is 6 years old. Tyson loves having friends over and I’d love to add your dog to the mix. We regularly take walks and live blocks away from a dog park. I work from home most days so I’m readily available to respond to texts/updates. I am comfortable attending to any of your dogs special requests or needs. I currently work from home every day besides occasionally Tuesdays. I go on regular walks with my dog so I’d be happy to add your furry friend to the mix. We live just steps away from a dog park and I allow dogs in the bed 😁 (if allowed by you). I have a small fenced in front yard and a friendly fury friend to keep your pup company at all times. I am attentive, cuddly and fun loving to all dogs. I would love to get to know your dog’s quirks and make your time away as enjoyable as possible.
“Destiny is reliable and always reachable and I would trust her with any of my pets knowing she takes care of them with love, care, attention, and patience. She is everything you want in a pet sitter, I’m so thankful I found her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Rainier
Tasha was awesome with my dog. She was very flexible with drop off and pick ups. She communicated efficiently and gave me picture updates also. She took really good care of him. My dog really enjoyed staying at her house and I’ll definitely be booking her again.
Chris was absolutely wonderful with our girl Janie! He took such great care of her, and we knew she was in excellent hands the entire time. Chris is kind, dependable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Janie absolutely adores him, and it’s easy to see why! We couldn’t recommend Chris more highly and would trust him with Janie again in a heartbeat!
This was Aleyna’s second time watching Cartier and she was wonderful both times! She’s great with communication and always sends pictures and updates, which I really appreciate. It’s nice knowing Cartier is in good hands while I’m away. I highly recommend Aleyna and will definitely be booking with her again!
Elijah was awesome with my dog. He efficiently communicated with me the entire time and was punctual with his feeding, walks and bathroom breaks. He also was consistent with pictures and updated me on the wellness of my dog. I’ll definitely be booking him again
This was the first time leaving my 5-month old cockapoo with anyone and I was very hesitant to do so. Since my husband and I had only one full day to explore D.C., we decided it was our best option. Josefa accepted my very late request and I’m glad she did. From the get go, she made our Alfie feel at home, which greatly helped alleviate my anxiety of leaving my furbaby with a stranger. Not only did she give off great vibes when we dropped Alfie off, but she was also very accommodating with our ever changing schedule for the day and was very sweet about it. Alfie seemed happy and calm when we picked and that’s what mattered most.
Precious and Devin were excellent with our dog. He stays with them at least once a week and he truly loves to be with them. He gets excited to see them and sometimes does not want to leave😅 They make sure that all his needs are taken care of, take him for multiple walks a day and keep him entertained. He gets home tired and happy. Will recommend Devin and Precious!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Mount Rainier is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 per day. 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 5,429 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mount Rainier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mount Rainier commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 5,429 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MD. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,429 sitters in Mount Rainier, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
