“Julie has been very good and patient with Poppy who is fearful of new people and takes a while to warm up. She has thought of ways to make Poppy more comfortable with her, like introducing her dog to Poppy, and it is working. She has been dependable and I feel better knowing that Poppy has had some outdoor time while I am at work.”
“Ashley did great with our two high energy dogs (labradoodle & black lab)! Really appreciated her detailed report on the drop-in and how they did during her visit. Will hire again for drop-in visits and dog care when needed!”
“Amanda was FABULOUS at watching our two pups while we were away for a trip! Between the detailed updates, pictures, walks and even helping water the flowers at home, she did everything I could’ve wanted! I know our dogs enjoyed her coming over and spending time with them and giving them much needed snuggles. We will absolutely be booking with Amanda again in the future!”
“Sarah is a phenomenal sitter! She followed instructions extremely well, and asked questions for clarity. She took such good care of our girls, especially our senior cat, who is end of life. We will be booking get again. Thank you Sarah!! Everyone was so relaxed and calm when we got home, unlike previous Rover sitters.”
“Brian did a great job checking in on our dogs! We were gone on a day trip and just need someone to stop bye and let the dogs out. He handled them very well, took pictures and let us know everything was okay. We will definitely we reaching out in the future 💗”
“Once again, Sara did a great job. She made sure to go through our requests and complete as much as she could in the limited time that we had booked (my mistake; I underestimated the time needed). She prioritized our girls' social enrichment and their feeding schedules. She's a wonderful communicator and really takes care of our fur babies as if they're her own. As well as getting the *best* photos of any pet she's taking care of. Sara makes great decisions about our pets' health and care when we're unreachable, and she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (our cats are messy eaters, lol). I always greatly appreciate the effort and love she puts into caring for our beloved girls.”
About: I been fostering kittens for two years with my partner, including bottle-feeding newborns, caring for young or special needs litters, and administering medications. It's been an incredibly rewarding experience and has taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and animal care. I also have experience house-sitting for both cats and dogs through the Rover app, making sure pets stay happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always treat them like my own. I work full-time, but pet care is still a big part of my routine because I’m super flexible and adaptable. I’m comfortable managing tasks around my schedule and always prioritize making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, especially kittens I’m fostering, I provide a safe, clean, and nurturing environment. I make sure they get plenty of social interaction and gentle handling to help them thrive. I also monitor their health closely and keep their space sanitized to prevent illness. When caring for pets in a client’s home through house sitting, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, exercise, or playtime. I treat their home and pets with respect, maintaining the usual environment to keep pets comfortable and stress free. I also provide regular updates to owners so they feel connected and confident while away.
“Samantha did a great job dropping in on our two cats. I was able to enjoy my trip so much better knowing the cats were in good hands. She sent tons of photos every day and spent quality time playing with them.”
“Tiffany & Tiara are always dependable. They take Dexter for a walk each time and he loves walks. They show up on time and always send an update. I have used their services many times and can count on them.”
“Ruby was wonderful with our two pups for a drop in visit! She was able to come short notice as well which we so appreciate. It was soooo relieving and nice knowing we were leaving our dogs with someone we could trust.”
“Madisyn was very detailed oriented and responded properly to any communications from me. She did a perfect job of taking care of my two cats, including managing my asthmatic cat’s medication. I won’thesitate to use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends, family, and my own dogs for 10+ years. As well as worked at dog daycare & boarding for 2+ years! I’m currently working part-time so I have extra time to care of your little ones! I’m fairly flexible with times and keep your dogs a priority! Lots of snuggles and play time is a necessity for my own, as well as your dogs! Ample amount of time for bathroom breaks and feeding time. I have a huge love for dogs, love meeting, and creating bonds with new ones! :)
About: I'm more than a quick potty-break sitter. I love giving dogs exercise, enrichment, and fun outdoor adventures tailored to their energy level. I frequently visit Tolmie State Park, where dogs can enjoy wooded trails, new scents, and beachside walks. Whether your pup loves exploring, playing, or simply getting extra attention, I'll provide personalized care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. My availability is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–2:00 PM and again from 5:00 PM–12:00 AM. Weekend availability varies, so please feel free to reach out with your requested dates and times. I do my best to accommodate flexible scheduling whenever possible. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I treat every animal like a member of my own family. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, small reptiles and pet birds. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust with each pet. For dogs, I provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection through walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. For cats, I focus on maintaining a calm environment while providing companionship, play, and routine care. For birds, I ensure fresh food and water, clean living spaces, enrichment, and safe, attentive handling when appropriate. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind while they're away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for every pet in my care.
“Kevin showed up on time, is really personable and was patient with our pup! We wanted our pup to get some energy out and Kevin did the job - our pup is exhausted — still snoozing 3 hours later!”
“Stephanie is the best! Flexible and reliable and my pets enjoy her visits. Stephanie takes the time to ensure they are happy and cared for while I am gone and also sends great photos!”
“Lisa definitely lived up to the other glowing reviews. She visited our house daily to feed, water and take care of the litter box for our two cats. She is reliable and even made friends with our often-shy Siamese kitty. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports cards while we were away on our week-long trip. We would highly recommend Lisa for your away pet-sitting needs! Hopefully she will still be providing here excellent services the next time we take a trip to visit family.”
About: From a simple feed, check in and walk, to a week long house sit, I’ve had much experience taking care of all the sweet doggies out there! Having housed a few myself over the years, and a rescuer of one sweet little wiener named Bo, I will care for your best friend the best I can!! I’m a mom to three kids, and while they go to school during the day, I’d honestly love to make a little extra money to be able to support them more with their hobbies and other things they would love to do participate in to enhance their future! Taking care of pets seem like a great way to do that. I thrive on instructions for you pet(s) to ensure I can meet the needs to your little besties as well as satisfying the needs of their parents (you!)

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rainier on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rainier stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
