“Can’t thank Amanda enough for taking such good care of our fur babies while we were on vacation. Our “lost for a week” cat returned the day before we left. Amanda assured us that she would be extra attentive and would watch for any concerns. All went smooth! We will definitely book again.”
“Ellen was absolutely amazing!! We even had to ask her so last minute and she graciously accepted. We would not hesitate to have her watch our dogs again and will be asking her anytime she’s available. Thanks Ellen!”
“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!”
“Samantha did a great job with my little Kitty Whompuss. She was timely and very responsible. Her visit photos were great and made me feel like my fur ball was in good hands while I was away. I will absolutely ask for her support again in the future.”
“Having Stephanie taking care of my babies was a totally ‘peace of mind.’ We have a new kitten. I was hesitant to leave him with a pet sitter. My kitten was in love with Stephanie! Every picture that I received not only from Steph and my kitten showed that my cats did enjoy her company! So big thanks!!!”
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!)
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s individual routine. I also have personal experience caring for a dog with allergies, so I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, avoiding known triggers, and paying attention to changes in a dog’s skin or behavior. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention just like I would my own dog, Korona. 🐾 I’m retired from the military, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and plenty of playtime and attention. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while making sure each pet’s individual routine is followed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space for play and relaxation. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re away.
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
“Trenton provided check ins for my dog when we were gone overnight. We did a meet and greet first, and he was great with her. He sent pictures and let me know if she peed/pooped/ ate. I really appreciated the picture of the locked back door each time too. I will rebook with him if I need to.”
“This is the second time we’ve hired Claire and I would 100000% recommend her to any and everyone. She goes above and beyond the expectations, she shows my dogs so much love, they adore her! She takes amazing pictures of them that shows them happy and healthy, she has amazing communication and I hope everyone doesn’t book her up only because I want to make sure she is available for us next time we need her! Claire is such a nice, genuine person and our family loves to hire her, she’s our first thought any time we need a dog sitter. Definitely put in your requests for her before she’s too booked up!”
About: I recently moved and I have much more free time. I have 2 pets of my own, a super hyper mini Aussie and a relaxed and chill mix bread we recused years ago. There isn’t much I love in this world more than pets. I believe having someone accountable with integrity is very important. That’s me! I’ll always be on time, and do as you ask. I’ve had a bad experience with someone not showing up, I understand the worry pet owners have when they travel or work a long day. I also understand the stress it can put on dogs not having their owners around. I’ll be sure to treat your pups as I treat mine… like they are my kids and my priority. I don’t have much going on outside of typical appointments and random errands. My schedule is pretty relaxed and open, outside of already planned vacations. I can not care for animals in my own home as of now. My older dog doesn’t do well with others. Maybe at a later date this could be offered
“Alexis was so helpful with my Rottie 8 month old! I was worried about her and Alexis went right over and checked on her for me. I was so relieved and I will be using Alexis again, and frequently!”
“Qing is a real STAR and very very patient! She responded very fast within minutes, provided me peace of mind, and handled my senior cat with mobility and litter box issues. Her notes were professionally written and gave me tons of details and amazing pictures which I enjoyed the MOST 💜”
About: I would consider myself one of the best dog sitters, I Shih Tzu not. I've house and pet sat for many of my family members, friends, neighbors, and even strangers over the years. I'm very affectionate towards animals and will soak up as many snuggles as they're willing to give me! I love having a bed buddy and couch potato to hang out with, as well as active puppies and dogs who love a long walk. I can also transport animals in my car for outings and adventures if that's something you'd be interested in. I'm so looking forward to hearing from you, getting to spend time with your fur babies, and making sure they feel loved while you're away. Cheers! - Rylee Availability: Sun-Sat, All day, at Any time My schedule is open every day of the week, as well as my evenings. I prefer to spend my nights in with the animals, and my days on adventures with them. I'm available at any time of day to keep in contact about how your loved one is doing. I will care for your pets, or family members more like, as I do for my own puppy at home. She's my whole world, and I will always strive to give that same energy to your puppies, too.
About: I’ve had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve often been called an “animal whisperer” because animals seem to naturally feel comfortable, safe, and understood around me. I truly believe every animal has a sweet soul and deserves patience, tender love, care, and understanding. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and cautious, or simply loves to cuddle, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away. When your fur baby is with me, they’re treated like family. I’m attentive to their routines, affectionate with them, and committed to giving them the same love and care I would want for my own pets. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is not only being watched, but genuinely loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I have open availability and am excited to dedicate my time, attention, and love to your fur babies! 🐾❤️ I’m constantly caring for my own two pups—a Pitbull and an XL Bully—so giving dogs plenty of love, attention, exercise, and TLC is already a big part of my everyday life. Aside from caring for my own dogs, my schedule is open and flexible, allowing me to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, keeping up with their routine, or simply giving them some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m eager to share that same TLC with your pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐶🐱🐈⬛💕 Your pet’s safety is my top priority while they’re in my care. 🐾❤️ I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously. I provide attentive, hands-on supervision and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, triggers, and individual needs. I’m mindful of doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, interactions with other animals, and anything else that could affect their safety and comfort. I also believe communication is an important part of quality pet care. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for from the moment they’re in my care until they’re back home with you. 🐶🐱💕
“Dylan was a life saver! We had to scramble for last minute plans and Dylan did a drop in for us while we were out of town. I got lots of pictures and can tell my two cats were loved on.”
About: I've been the go to carer for all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, senior animals.) for my family and friends since I was a teenager. I find that I have a calming presence that puts them at ease. I have some experience with training, mostly with previous pets. I'm currently in school and working part time. I have Friday, Saturdays and Sundays free. And Thursday afternoons free. If things go well here, I hope to have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons free too. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to play and lots of toys. I no longer have pets of my own, so any animal under my care will get my full attention.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m an avid hiker and have been lucky to share many trails with amazing “trail dogs” over the years. I’ve also pet sat for coworkers, doing drop-ins multiple times a day, and I’m currently providing overnight care for a puppy—something I truly enjoy. Over time, I realized this is something I’d love to do more of. When I say “us,” I mean my little household too: I have a mixed-breed dog and a cat. My cat is gentle and friendly and gets along well with dogs. My dog, Ziggy, is my first male and a rescue from the pound. He’s been a challenge at times, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’s made wonderful progress—and continues to do so. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for shelter dogs and pets who may need a little extra patience, care, and understanding. I’d love the opportunity to offer that same compassion and support to your pets, helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I happily offer drop-ins and overnight care on weekends and holidays. If there would be a special need, we most likely could work this out. I care for pets based on their normal routine and your preferences. Whether in your home or during overnights, I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, along with any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re used to.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rainier is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,325 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rainier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rainier. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
