“Rita was absolutely amazing with my dog, Natalie! Natalie can be reactive and typically needs time to adjust to new environments and people, but Rita went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to really understand Natalie’s needs, triggers, and what makes her happy, which made such a difference. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and keeping me reassured the entire time. It’s clear Rita genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort, and because of that, Natalie had a great experience. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Rita!”
“Brit had such a great time with Angela! They managed two walks, despite the rain, and Brit slept the whole way home. We will definitely be back!”
“Thank you for taking care of our baby! Nicole was great - patient with Ethel, who was a little anxious. If we are ever looking for a sitter near DC again, we will absolutely reach out again!”
“Echo had a fantastic time at daycare, and couldn’t wait to get out of the car when she realized we were at Malvi and Andrej’s. We really appreciated all the updates throughout the day - you could tell our pup was having an absolute blast. We really can’t recommend them enough!”
About: I have experience fostering a puppy and volunteering at dog shelters, where I regularly take dogs out for walks and give them loving attention. I grew up with a golden retriever named Max, which sparked my lifelong love for dogs. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available throughout the weekdays and select weekends. I kindly ask for advance notice when possible, as I am a college student balancing my schedule. I care for pets in a safe, calm home environment with plenty of space to play and relax. I live in a house with a large backyard. I am happy to crate your dog if needed, as long as you provide the crate.
“Our first time leaving our two boys and Jeff was absolutely fantastic! One of our pups Murray is 15 and gets a little anxious, but Jeff calmed him down and made him feel so comfortable in his “home away from home”. Our 3 year old Monty had a ball sitting in Jeff’s lap and running around with the other pups. You can tell how much experience Jeff has with taking care of dogs with his calm, caring manner and we’re so glad to have found him!”
“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!”
About: Hello! Stella, Sebastian and I would be happy to host your pup for the time you’re away. I work from home full time and live in a great neighborhood that has ample sidewalks and is very dog friendly. Stella is a mini bernedoodle, K9 Good Citizen certified and gets along with everyone. Your pup has run of the home like her. Welcome on the furniture. Sleeps in my bed (unless you prefer otherwise). Sebastian is a 7 month old kitten that is very bonded and plays beautifully with Stella. He loves to cuddle and be around humans and animals. My husband and I work from home full time. Stella gets walks every 3-4 hours depending upon my schedule (and the weather). If your pup requires more or less we can certainly make it work. We don’t have a yard but we live in a very walkable neighborhood that is extremely dog friendly. My home is two stories so if there’s any issue with stairs please be sure to mention that.
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. I am very active and love taking long walks or light jogs, just like your pup! Gus is also an excellent walking buddy who is good on the leash. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so it's very easy for me to pop out before work, lunchtime, it after work to take a long walk. If it helps lighten the load when packing, I havethe following items already: Extra dog beds Dog bowls including a slow feeder Toys Feel free to pack these items if course if they will make your pup happier to have their own. I work from home Monday through Friday 9:00-5:00, so it's very easy for me to pop out before work, lunchtime, it after work to take a long walk. 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.
“Catie was great with my pup Ruby! Ruby has some extra triggers, and Catie not only was great with making sure Ruby did okay and figuring out what Ruby needed alongside the other dogs in care that day, but also provided frequent updates throughout the day. 5/5!”

“I would like to say thank you to Christian well my first time using Rover and helping me feel comfortable with my fur baby saying with her. She did a wonderful job communicating and sending pictures letting me know what’s going on and making this days feel so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and using her in the future, thank you so much.”
“Josefa was wonderful with our dog Toby (mini schnauzer, 8 yrs old, 30 lbs) when she looked after him for the day. She was so warm, welcoming, communicative, and made sure that Toby was comfortable while in her care. Toby was super relaxed when we picked him up, which is a great sign. We're so glad to have found Josefa and will absolutely reach out again for doggy day care. Highly recommended! :)”
“Aroa took great care of my four month old puppy while I was in the office. I got multiple check-ins and pictures throughout the day and I could tell from my pup’s body language that she was content and comfortable. Thank you!!!”
About: Hi I’m Jess and I am very much a “dog person”. I was an active dog sitter on Rover for four years, before adopting my own dog, Max, and taking a break from new clients. Max is very friendly with other dogs and loves having new friends come to stay with him! Whether you’re just too busy and need some help during the day or are going out of town, I’m happy to care for your furry best friend. I’ve had dogs my entire life and started pet sitting when I was in middle school. I’ve also successfully fostered 13 dogs! I’m hoping to cross 20 this year. I work from home and I have a camera in my living room to check in on the dogs if I step out for a few hours. I’ll be sure to send you pictures and updates while you’re away. Looking forward to talking to you and caring for your pets! I work from home and have my own dog. We go on 2-3 walks a day and try to find time to adventure to a park or winery on the weekends! I have an unfenced yard and live in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of great streets to sniff. Dogs who are safe to tether are welcome to spend supervised time in the yard with me while I garden. If your dog likes dog parks, I’m happy to take them to the Woodridge Park down the road! When I’m not home, dogs are crated and supervised with a camera. They will never be left more than 4 hours. My own dog gets oral meds and eyedrops daily, as well as IC injections monthly, so I am comfortable with medication.

Amazing! She cared for my 5 month puppy and did such a good job also was able to squeeze my pup in last minute due to a change of plan on my end. Peach looked so happy in all the updates she provided and also when i picked her up. Will definitely consider her for future caretaking!
Chanelle has been walking my beagle since February. She is dependable, personable and Poppy looks forward to their walks. I have since engaged her for daycare and this summer she will be boarding for 10 days. I am so happy that I have found Chanelle to help care for my dog. I highly recommend her.
Maria was amazing with buddy.. We traveled from Iowa with our baby but unfortunately it was raining n I dint want him to get wet plus we couldn't take him to museums n all so needed someone reliable to take care 3 him.. Maria was super sweet n she took him in n took really good care of him.. I would highly recommend her
Ali watched my dogs for a weekend while I was out of town and did a tremendous job. I felt at ease knowing they were loved and cared for. One of my dogs had some separation anxiety and she made sure to comfort him while in distress. She also provided me with photos and updates while I was away missing them. Highly recommend Ali if you need a sitter that’s reliable, caring, patient, and trustworthy.

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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,459 sitters in Mount Rainier, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
