About: Hi there! My name is Bonnie and I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I have experience with all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to horses and dairy goats. Currently, I share a home with two awesome cats named Dillon and Hammy, a dog named Jolene, and some chickens. I have veterinary experience as well. My veterinary career started in 2010 when I worked as a kennel attendant. I worked my way up to becoming a surgical technician before leaving the field to have a family. I can help with pets of all kinds including special needs. Contact me for availability today! I have a child, so my availability depends on childcare. I'll do my best to accommodate client schedules, but my little one takes priority in my life. I will care for animals in your home. For drop in visits, I can let pets out to potty, administer medication, and exercise/play with your pet. For walking, I can walk your leash trained pet in a safe neighborhood or take them to a nearby park.

About: Hey there fury friends and owners! I'm Bailey and I love animals, I have car, dog, bird and farm animal experience. I would love to help youtake care of yours. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks for stopping by my page. My availability currently is pretty open. I’m available part-time on a weekly service-perhaps every couple days if needed. It all depends on the location and services needed. I’m unsure how many pets I’m willing to take on at the moment. I can’t help but speak to an animal in high pitch tones as well as full on conversation with them like they’re answering me! Anything to get a head twist or a butt wiggle.

About: My saying is always “your pets are my pets” because I do truly believe all critters deserve the same amount of love, respect and compassion I grew up on a horse boarding ranch so I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals throughout my life.(: I work 4 1/2 days a week and would love to spend my days off helping others by taking care of their pets while they are away. I have a fully fenced yard and live a very active lifestyle so if your pet needs extra exercise, I would love to take them for walks, runs, hikes or just playing fetch in the backyard!

About: I have trained my dogs for the last 10 years, I have bathed and clipped my dog and cats nails for 10 years, friends and family have relied on me to watch, walk, feed and bathe their pets for over 20 years. I currently am a stay at home mom which allows me to pay more attention to animals in my care. I currently take my dog to the dog park multiple times a week along with walks daily to help keep her active and healthy. Adding your fur friend will be an added bonus for us. I do not have a fenced yard so I prefer to watch them in my clients house, this also helps with the stress the pet may feel with being with a stranger.

About: I’ve had all kinds of dogs and cats from seniors, puppies/kittens and energetic teenagers. At the moment we have a 9 year old German Shepherd and dog sit our Great Dane and Doodle grand puppy’s. I’ve have never met an animal I didn’t love. I’m happy to drive as far as Portland to Olympia. I’m young retired and looking to help with your pet needs. At the moment I’m available for house sitting, pet walking or just popping in to play and feed your sweet family members. We take our pets safety seriously. We lock all gates from the inside of the yard. When the doorbell rings all our animals must sit on their beds so no one escapes. Meals are at the same time every day and of course lots of conversation, love and cuddles.

“Rebecca was great! I asked for her help with dog walking since I work at home I don’t have all the time to dedicate.Not only did she walk them but she also work with my dogs on some training. I felt like she really knew what she was doing. She gave me a lot of photos and videos so I felt super secure about what happened during the walk. She also provided me with an update on how to walk went.”

About: I’ve grown up caring for animals and have experience pet sitting for dogs of all different sizes, including a Golden Retriever, Great Dane, and Yorkie! I’ve also pet sat for two cats over the past five years, both of whom required plenty of attention and individualized care. I have a 12-year-old cat of my own who has dealt with ongoing digestive and bathroom issues, so I’m very comfortable handling messes, recognizing behavioral cues, and understanding when an animal needs extra attention. My cat follows a strict daily routine that I consistently stick to because I know how important it is for her health and comfort. These experiences have taught me to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each pet’s individual needs. I genuinely love animals and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’m currently working part-time, and my schedule is very flexible! Although my work schedule changes weekly, I’m currently only working about three days a week, which leaves me with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m able to plan around my shifts and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I have a fenced, spacious yard, and I live in a cul-de-sac next to a long walking path, making it easy to provide pets with plenty of safe outdoor time and exercise. My home is free of hazards, and there are no spaces where an animal could become trapped or get lost. I also have a basket filled with pet toys, along with cameras monitoring both the backyard and front yard for added safety.

About: Hi there! My name is Brandon Foley and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had my Black Lab, and my cat. I also helped my Aunt with her pet sitting business in Chicago. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with lots of time to love on and play with your pups! As long as I know in advance, my schedule is quite flexible. When I am away from home it’s usually for no more than a few hours. More time to spend with your pet! I take dog watching very seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your dog will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. I'll do everything I can to to meet the needs of your dog to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during your time away.

About: I have excellent references with over 20 years of experience walking, feeding, bathing, and grooming animals. I have worked with animals as young as 4 months old to as old as 18 years old and had to administer medication. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, horses, goats, fish, birds, and cows. I am a teacher who works from home so I am available any time during the week to stay over with plenty of breaks to let them out for play and potty time. I’ll be home all day so your pet babies will have lots of attention! I live in an apartment at this time so I will not be able to keep your animals here, but I am able to come to your home and be there as much or as little as you need me to be! I want what is best for your pet since I know they are part of your family. When you put your trust in me, I take that very seriously and anything you need directions wise will be followed since you know your pet best!

About: I love cats and dogs, and grew up with large dogs. I walk and run a LOT so dogs usually love being taken care of by me. Cats feel special as I make sure to give them love if they want it, otherwise they have food, clean water, and a clean litter box every day! Pets tend to really like me and although I'm not a professional dog trainer, I know how to encourage positive behavior. I'm super responsible and reliable, and I have been asked to house sit numerous times since I'm also really clean and quiet and take very good care of people's homes. I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule. 9a until evening. And I am available on the weekends. If I stay at the house, that can happen any time during the week. I have been entrusted to care for many homes and cherished pets, and do so with great care! I'm very clean, quiet, and responsible. I love being able to take dogs for walks and to be able to give cats attention or at least fresh food!

About: Hi! I’m Jamie, a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of pet and house-sitting experience — and I truly mean lifelong. I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for pets and homes for most of my life. My approach is calm, patient, and intuitive, making me especially attuned to the needs of senior pets, shy or sensitive animals, or pets who simply need extra TLC. I provide friendly, professional in-home care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. From administering medication to long walks, from playful energy to quiet lap time, I adapt to meet your pet exactly where they are — whether young, old, quirky, or cuddly. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, barnyard animals, horses, and pets of all kinds — furry, feathered, scaled, or beyond — bringing the same calm, attentive care to each one. While I’m not a licensed trainer, I bring hands-on experience, training knowledge, and years of caregiving skills to every animal I meet.

She was great with Daisy. I booked her for daily walks throughout the whole summer. The highlights of her service were great communicate and response time. I trusted her with a spare key to my apartment, which she promptly returned at the end of her booking. I would recommend her.

First time trying out Rover. My dog Eva can be stubborn when it comes to warming up to new people, but Raegan was able to get her out for a short walk, which is more than I had expected given my pup can be very shy and doesn’t ever like to leave her space with anyone but me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Rainier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 774 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rainier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Rainier. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rainier after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rainier. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
