“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!”
“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”
“Gabz was a fantastic sitter for our senior cat. They were super communicative and diligently took great notes on his many medications. I cannot recommend Gabz enough for anything you need, including house sitting. Six stars!”
“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.”
“Molly was fantastic! She gave regular updates and handled our dogs with professionalism and care, including reaching out whenever she had a question. Will be booking again!”
“Alayza was very attentive and patient with my pup! Updates and communication were quick and constant. My flight home was delayed but she accommodated the unexpected schedule change. Will definitely be asking for her expertise again! My pup absolutely loved her.”
“Alex stayed at our home & dogsat our energetic, 3-year-old pit bull. Our dog felt very comfortable with him & enjoyed being with her new friend. He sent photos and updated us regularly, and was a gracious and thoughtful guest. You can tell Alex loves animals & cares about their overall well-being. We wouldn’t hesitate asking him to dogsit again. Just a great person & dog lover!”
“Sharon was fantastic with our anxiety-ridden pit bull mix, Cookie. She snuggled with Cookie whenever she needed some extra TLC and made sure she got both a morning and an afternoon walk. From the moment we met Sharon, it was clear she has a natural bond with animals that is hard to define. She is easygoing, calm, and, most importantly, updates you daily with a brief summary and pictures of your pet. I would love to have her dog sit again and will definitely recommend her services to friends in the future!”
“Kymberlee is very responsible and professional. She housesat for me and looked after my dog over the weekend, and I was very grateful for her capable demeanor and experience, especially because my dog had a recent injury and needed extra attention. She left my apartment in much better shape than she found it, and she dropped everything to help after I realized I’d left my ID at home while I was traveling. She is truly a class act, professional individual, and I highly recommend her.”
“Stephanie always goes above and beyond when she takes care of Luna. She is flexible, communicates very well, and pays attention to detail. She takes good care of our home as well. We are regular clients now.”
“Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.”
“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!”
“Maniyha stayed at our home and cared for our two pups over a holiday week/weekend. She was GREAT! Booking was very easy. Maniyha was very responsive and set up a facetime right away to meet us/or dogs and go over the details. She bonded with our pups right away and sent us updates and so many adorable photos. We felt like our dogs were in great care the entire time. She left our house in great condition (you'd never even know that she was there). When asked, Sebastian and Penelope (our pups) gave her four paws up and they are looking forward to their next hang out with their new friend.”
“Jayme is a great house and cat sitter for us. He’s very communicative and conscientious. We love getting multiple photo updates of our beloved pet, who has completely accepted Jayme into his life haha. And we appreciate Jayme’s tidiness in the house.”
“Katelyn did an amazing job with our pups! Very responsive, organized and great with the dogs. Highly recommend her! Will definitely have her back again.”
“Anaia spent a few days at my home looking after my pup, Axel. She took great care of my home and my pup. She sent updates and communicated effectively if there were questions. I would absolutely ask her to watch Axel again.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Aliyah during a meet-and-greet for my puppy, Asparagus, and I was very impressed. She was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and has a genuine love for animals. Asparagus had only been home with me for a few days after coming from a farm, so he’s still adjusting to city life and was understandably shy. Although he didn’t fully warm up to Aliyah, he did allow her to take him for a walk, and she was incredibly patient and respectful of his pace. Aliyah also shared some great tips to help keep him calm and settled, which I truly appreciated. This visit was simply to help them get acquainted, and I’m confident they’ll build a wonderful bond over time. We look forward to having Aliyh care for Asparagus in the near future. I highly recommend her!”

Juliet was a great and communicative sitter! We were worried about how our cat would do over the fourth with lots of nearby fireworks, and Juliet checked in with us throughout the weekend confirming Bella was okay. She was flexible with our somewhat complicated key system and very respectful of our space. Highly recommend!
Jacquelyn was an amazing dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of my dog. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious that Jacquelyn genuinely loves animals and goes the extra mile to make them feel comfortable. This is my fourth time Jacquelyn has cared for my dog and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.
Danny was great! Our dog loved him... he had lots of walks, plenty of play time, and stayed on schedule for feedings, medicine, and bedtime. Danny was also a great houseguest... you couldn't even tell anyone had been there when we got home! We'll definitely book with him again. Thanks, Danny!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Rainier
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Rainier on Rover is $53.98 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,904 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Rainier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
