“Keaton was a fantastic house/dog-sitter, taking care of our elderly dog and three cats. Keaton quickly made friends with everyone and updated us twice a day with medication info, walk notes, and photos. We felt relaxed and comfortable knowing our pets (and home) were in good hands. Thank you, Keaton!”
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Jayme did a great job! He sent photos and updates, took good care of both our dog and our place, and Gianna seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. He went overboard by making sure Gianna was ok when our flight home was delayed.”
“Daniel took great care of Huckleberry and was an amazing house sitter as well. I think things look even better than I left them! I’ll be sure to book him again should I need another sitter.”
“Elizabeth was an amazing dog sitter for my pup. She was very responsive and sent updates regularly (including pictures that I must say were rather artistically done). My dog was sick while I was away and she stayed awake late in to the night making sure he was okay. I would have her sit again in a heart beat.”
“Leonia is so kind and she does so well to take care of Hudson. She takes care of him like her own and when house sitting she cares for the space as she would her own. Would recommend 10 times over.”
“This is Andrew's second time with Stephanie pet sitting and I know it will not be his last! He was calm and clearly well-cared for when we got home. Andrew is blind so it's not easy for him to have new adventures but Stephanie kept him occupied with massages, games and lots of affection. He is not crazy about taking walks but Stephanie somehow got him to take a 45 minute walk! She sent us detailed updates and funny, adorable photos. I feel very comfortable with Stephanie. We were able to take our trip without worry. Plus, the house was beautiful when we got home.”
“Thalia is an amazing dog sitter! I had a last minute change of plans and she stepped in to help, kept me updated daily with pics/check ins, and left my apartment just as she found it. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Shannon was great and took really good care of Lady! She sent pictures and was very communicative the whole time. I could tell she really cared for Lady while she watched her.”
“Katelyn was extremely patient, attentive and kind to my senior rescue dog. My dog has a lot of special needs and medications, which makes it hard for me to feel comfortable leaving him. However, from the meet and greet I could tell Katelyn would provide top tier care and love. Her communication was excellent, she provided regular updates and lots of photos and videos. Would definitely rebook and would highly recommend. I felt like she loved Martin as her own in my absence.”
“Madison did a wonderful job caring for our two pups and our home over a weekend! We appreciated the cute photo updates and seems like the pups had lots of outdoor time and cuddles. Looking forward to booking again!”
“Mark was absolutely great with Archie and Mumford. He knew exactly how to work with our dogs and was incredibly responsive and provided great pictures and videos. The dogs clearly enjoyed their time with him!”
“Megan was perfectly responsible and communicative while clearly offering friendliness and warmth to our doggos who loved having Megan stay. would absolutely recommend Megan!”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I’ve been 12 years old. I also had my own dog for a couple years as well and I took her on walks, fed her, played with her, etc I am going to see how it fits into my work week schedule and see what would best work for both mine and the owners. I have a big park next to my house as well as trails I can walk on nearby. I also have space for the dog to run around and play outside.
“Trisha was great! Very attentive and loving towards sweet Barley ? before, during, and after her weekend stay in our home. We got lots of pictures and videos of Barley having fun and loving life. Will definitely book Trisha again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Rainier
Danielle and her husband took such wonderful care of our high-energy, 2.5-year-old foster dog while we were away on a trip! We really appreciated their excellent communication, photos, and regular updates. Before leaving, we were a little anxious about leaving our dog for the weekend, but they made us feel so much more at ease. We highly recommend Danielle and her husband for house and pet sitting, and we’ll absolutely be booking them again! I know our foster dog will be SUPER excited to see them next time! 🐾
Lauren was fabulous! She agreed to housesit and care for our elderly, special needs guy at the last minute, after another Rover sitter cancelled, and she took great care of both Arthur and our home. Lauren was super responsive, extremely competent, and sent lots of updates to keep us informed. If you're looking for a trustworthy, resourceful person to handle both your four-legged family and your home, look no further than Lauren. We'd definitely book with her again!
Kyndall was great! Mia ran up to her immediately wanting to be her best friend at our initial meet & greet, which you know says a lot about Kyndall's vibe. She didn't blink an eye at all of Mia's medications or routine. She was respectful of my space and sent me plenty of pics of Mia while I was away — a huge comfort for anxious moms of old dogs! 10/10 recommend.
We cannot possibly overstate how spectacular Thalia is as a pet sitter! She took care of our pup and our house for a week and it was such a delightful experience. Thalia communicated with us and sent us dog pictures regularly, took care of deliveries to the house while we were gone, took our dog Fig on lots of great walks, and left the house in better condition than we left it! We will absolutely go to Thalia first any time Fig needs care!
Destiny provided top-notch, high quality care for my dog Nutmeg. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet-and-greet and throughout the stay to ensure all his needs were met, and sent frequent and detailed updates and cute pictures. Destiny also left the apartment in fantastic condition. Can't thank her enough for how well she took care of my baby, it was such a relief to know he was in good hands while I was away. I will definitely be contacting her again!!
Coralie watched our cat while we were away and was wonderful. She was very flexible with our late booking and gave Yogi fun and entertainment. We got home to a very happy and relaxed cat. She also communicated the entire time very well and the house was wonderfully clean. We’ll definitely book with Coralie again
Emma was a wonderful sitter! Our cat Kenobi is a little bit anxious, and this was our first time using Rover rather than friends or family to look after him, which was nerve wracking, but Emma made us feel so at ease, and we were able to enjoy our week long trip no problem. Her daily updates included photos that made our day each time, and we could tell that Kenobi was so comfortable and cared for by her. We came home to a happy cat, which is everything we could have asked for.

The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Rainier is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $111 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Mount Rainier walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Mount Rainier maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
