“I boarded my dog Hamilton for the first time with Emily and he did so well! He came home happy and exhausted and I’m so grateful. I was nervous as he is a very shy boy and I felt like he was in really good hands! Would highly recommend!”
“I booked with Ashleigh last second & I was so lucky that she had availability. My dog had such a great stay with her. Ashleigh’s dogs are so adorable & well-behaved and Bandit had a ton of fun with them. Ashleigh’s communication was also great :)”
“Our Shepherd mix was right at home with Hailey and her family. He got 24/7 care, family love and attention. Hailey was easy to communicate with and worked with our special food mix that needed to be refrigerated. Great property to roam in the yard and lots of area to run and play. We will definitely bring our dog back.”
“Stella had a great stay with Amy. Amy was very responsive & sent multiple pictures of Stella relaxing throughout the booking. We would definitely recommend Amy to anyone. Thanks for caring for our baby.”
“Robert is truly amazing and the whole package! My young Bull dog Roxy is full of energy and very attached to us. Robert took all of our care requests seriously. Special food needs, sleeping arrangements, play needs, daily check ins and lots of exercise were all provided with care. Robert is a dog whisperer and even provided training that I have been unable to do. His service was a true blessing’”
“Abra and her family took incredible care of our pup Maui and we are so grateful! They even helped him through a super scary thunder storm with love and compassion. Thank you so much!”
“Allison and Blas are two of my pups favorite people and the dogs are so loved in their home, we feel very lucky to get to leave our dogs with them. They’ll continue being our first choice for short and long stays!”
“Jamie and her mom were wonderful and took care of our pup so well! Our dog is very anxious and they made him feel safe and at home, we couldn’t ask for more. We will definitely utilize them again if we need to!”
“James took great care of our senior dog while we were traveling. It was our first time using Rover so I was nervous to leave our dog who’s really old and sedentary but James made the process easy and seamless. He was patient and accommodating and sent frequent updates and pictures. Would use James again!”
“Luna first stayed with Shell last Thanksgiving and we had a really wonderful experience, so we knew right away who to ask when we went on this trip. We had a very early flight out and very late arrival home, so it was a huge help that Shell picked Luna up and dropped her off, and such a treat to have our pup waiting for us when we got home. We got updates, pics, and videos throughout the weekend, so we knew Luna was having a ton of fun and was getting just as much love and attention as she would with us. On top of all of this, Shell brought over some delicious homemade soup and bread when she dropped Luna off. Talk about going above and beyond!! ”
“Kelley was awesome with Rex! We left him with her for 5 days while we went on a trip and he had such a good time. She sent us pictures and messages while we were away so we knew he was happy and having fun. He also got along great with Kelley' s dog Loki. We would definitely recommend Kelley and would be happy to leave Rex with her again for future trips. Thanks so much Kelley for taking good care of our baby!”
“Cara and Jose are awesome, Julie my pug enjoys visiting and playing with their Pug Sophie. They have watched Julie on multiple occasions and I appreciate the warm family environment while I am away. 5 Stars!!!!”
“Holly was a great sitter and trainer! She was very attentive and patient, inviting us over for a meet & greet beforehand and making sure it was a good fit for my dog. He felt very comfortable with her immediately and she asked lots of questions about his care. Holly was very flexible with drop off & pick up times, and went above and beyond to send updates, pictures, and videos throughout my dog's stay. It was a great environment for my dog in particular since he loves playing and interacting with other dogs, and she did an amazing job leash training him during his stay. He was very active while there, going on walks and running around with other pups, and seemed very happy and healthy when I picked him up! I would highly recommend Holly to anyone!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since elementary school. Training horses and dogs has been my passion. Understanding dogs instincts and pack language helps me better serve their unique needs and personalities. My 35 years of animal care encompasses dog sitting, training, flying cross country on cabin with pup, breeding, and rearing physically and emotionally solid pups. I’ve ventured with my 4-legged buddies on hikes, walks, beach trips, long car drives, hotel stays, retirement homes, schools, river floats, horse rides, ranch work, and river walks. Living in the beautiful PNW there’s always fun to have with our pooches! I’m a work at home mom with four children and a beautiful tribe of animal, loving people. Kids and animals have routines to thrive. There’s always someone home to be with the dogs so no fur babe left behind on our watch. We go places the dogs can ride with us. Exploring the logging roads and nature walks are everyone’s favorite. Fenced yard and doggo doors allow for in and out as they please while at home. Routine starts with breakfast. Then it’s playtime with the kids while farm chores take place. If your dog eats 3x a day we’ll do lunch, more playtime, rest time since this is equally as important. Mental stimulation to stay sharp means using snuffle rugs, treat dispensers, hand feeding meals while reinforcing manners and obedience. My kids have a schedule and boundaries as do the animals giving everyone peace of mind.
About: I’ve had a husky for 3 years and have so much fun with her! I am open to dog-walking or sitting. However, if you have a pet that does not get along with other dogs, I have someone in my life to watch my dog while I watch/walk yours! I work full-time, but I am available after work on those days (Tuesday-Saturday). I have Sundays and Monday off so I am completely available on those days! I can accommodate however you would like for your pet! I am pretty flexible as far as making your pet the most comfortable they can be.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Rainier is $50

Nothing but great things to say about Ashleigh. Communicative when inquiring about our pups. Sends pictures and does well with getting them acclimated to her home environment. Our dogs got along with Ashleigh’s fur babies and that was a bit of a concern at first as she has bigger pups. It was great that she had space outside for them to roam and play. Our dogs love to explore, run and play. I would definitely recommend Ashleigh to anyone and we will be utilizing her services again. Thanks Ashleigh!
We went on a family trip over Thanksgiving for 4 nights/5days, a longer getaway from our very loved family dog. Kristin was amazing at checking in, sending pics to ease my nerves of Coco’s well being. Kristin made sure Coco was well cared for and even went out of her way to make sure of Coco’s comfortably. Kristin is very knowledgeable and has a love for animals so I definitely would recommend her.
Brianna was so accommodating. So was her sweet dog Gypsy. We were very comfortable leaving Bentley with them after meeting Brianna and Gypsy and seeing how Bentley responded to them. It was obvious that Brianna took good care of Bentley and he enjoyed his stay! We would definitely use Brianna to take care of Bentley again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rainier is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $56 per night. 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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Rainier can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rainier home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rainier.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rainier sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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 OR 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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
