“Nadia was absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of my baby girl!! she pays great attention to detail and was able to help me a lot when it came to my puppies potty routine. I work overnight shifts so having someone as caring and amazing as Nadia helped ease my anxiety while I was at work! 10/10 recommend💗💗💗. Will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“Grateful for Jayne’s help with a short sit on relatively short notice. I really appreciated that she spent quality time with my pup and stayed until close to my return, especially given my dog’s nervousness about lingering fireworks. She also sent helpful updates. Thanks, Jayne!”
“Keaton was AMAZING. We got multiple adorable pics and updates daily, so appreciated! They provided absolutely perfect care to our babies, one being a senior cat who needs daily injections and a bit of extra care to get her calories in. Not only that, but they went above and beyond keeping our house tidy and handling tasks that were beyond what we had even discussed. We will absolutely be booking them again. Thank you Keaton!”
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“If you're looking for peace of mind when you are away and can't take your non-human family member, look no further. Alex is really wonderful. He's a smart, caring well informed guy who will "get" the nuances of your baby's needs and behaviors and is truly interested in knowing this and being responsive to them. My 7 year old Lab had never been left with anyone but a family member and Alex was the perfect substitute ! Happy to chat with you as well if you a verbal reference !”
“Aaron stayed with Albert for the night and took great care of both Albert and the house! He sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how things were going. I knew Albert was in good hands while we were gone, and we would definitely ask them to stay with Albert again. Thank you so much!!”
“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.”
“Zaida took care of our senior dog and teenager cat overnight for a few weeks. We appreciated her flexibility- first with a mistake on my part for booking one day less than needed, and then when our return flight delayed 10+ hrs she agreed to stay an extra night. She also administered medications and sent us regular updates on our guys. I’m not sure if she regularly does cats, but our cat still seems to look for her whenever the front door opens! Zaida is a superstar sitter! 💫”
“Gabrielle was great! They inspires confidence immediately with their warm and courteous demeanor. Betty took to Gabrielle immediately. Gabrielle was a great communicator who kept us well updated. I would be lucky to have Gabrielle come back again!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was our first outing with Alayza, and she is now on our go-to list! She got to know 2 older dogs that aren't always simple - and both gave her high marks! They quickly wanted to hang close to her!”
“Used Tobias while we went away on vacation. He was great with Bailey and Kali. He listened to our care instructions and attended to their needs perfectly. He is extremely easy going and communicative. Loved getting pics everyday to see how our dogs were doing. Def will rebook and recommend him to anyone”
“Chinyere was great and a pleasure to have babysit our pets! She was timely and very communicative throughout her time with our pets. We would Definitley Book her again. Thank you so much, Chinyere. We appreciate you!”
“Shannon was amazing with my dog Cash while I was away for a few days! Shannon provided daily pictures and videos, as well as updates as to how he was doing. I was very impressed with how detailed she was in her updates, and I didn’t worry at all about him while I was away! I highly recommend Shannon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Rainier
Arianna took incredible care of our senior dog Ziggy. She was communicative with us before, during, and after watching him and coordinated with our other dogsitters. She left our home clean and tidy, which was so appreciated with our other dogsitters. We are so grateful for Arianna making us feel at ease - she clearly has a special connection with animals and helped our anxious dog relax. We would happily book again!
Emily gave us great peace of mind while we were away on vacation. She was very reliable and communicative and watched our puppy for several hours for a few days. She gave us photos and daily updates for our high energy golden retriever puppy! We would happily recommend her and plan on rebooking her for our puppy soon!
We had a wonderful experience with Nadia as our house and dog sitter! This was her first stay with us, and she immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our home and our two dogs in her care. Nadia was incredibly communicative, attentive, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing, made sure they were fed and taken outside, and even asked questions about their routines when she wasn’t sure about something. She was also very respectful of our home and followed all of the little instructions we left for her. What really stood out to us was how much she genuinely cared about making sure the dogs were comfortable and taken care of. She even reached out for advice when one of the dogs was giving her a little trouble with his diaper, which showed us that she was patient and willing to make sure she was doing things the right way. By the end of the stay, we felt completely comfortable with Nadia. In fact, we’re having her come back to watch our two dogs for 9 nights while we’re away on our upcoming trip, which says a lot about how positive our experience was. Nadia was friendly, responsible, communicative, and treated our dogs and home with care. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets and their home!
I can't say enough good things about Lacey. She was kind, flexible, easygoing, and understanding, and she kept me in the loop with prompt, transparent updates the whole time I was away. Most important of all, my pups adored her. When I got home and the pups heard the building door open, they started barking, and every bark was an excited one. They had no idea yet who was coming up the stairs, but they knew they'd be happy to see whoever it was. That told me more about the depth of Lacey's loving care than anything else could have. I recommend her highly and without reservation, and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!
Zaida was a fantastic pet/house sitter! We were in a bind and needed a sitter with short notice and she responded promptly and set up a house tour for the next day. She was fantastic with our two pups giving them plenty of attention and care. Very grateful for her daily updates and photos so we didn’t have to worry about a thing on our trip. Sebastian and Penelope both give Zaida four paws up and look forward to their next hang!
Absolutely fantastic sitter! Kyndall handled Frankie with patience, energy, and genuine care. We received plenty of pictures and updates while we were away and we came home to a happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved pup. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Will definitely be booking again!
Shannon was such a great pet caregiver! She is clearly a longtime animal lover, and was wonderful watching over and taking care of the needs for my slower, older dog. Everyone has their own routines and she was very accommodating to ours to ensure there was no stress. From a logistics perspective, she was very flexible and she kept me updated throughout the stay! Overall Shannon was genuinely a very courteous and respectful house guest / sitter - would love to work with her again!
Dylan was great! She housesat for Bert and Wally over the weekend and gave us plenty of updates (we loved all the pictures and videos!). She asked questions about our care instructions which I really appreciated with our high maintenance/ reactive dog. We will be booking her in the future!!

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

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
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.
