“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
“Here’s a polished Rover review you can use: --- **Review for Rhonda** I cannot recommend Rhonda enough! This was my first time leaving my cat alone, and I had a lot of anxiety about it — but Rhonda was incredibly attentive and reassuring from start to finish. She made sure he had everything he needed, took the time to play with him, and sent lots of photos that really put me at ease. I truly appreciated the care, patience, and attention she gave him. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lauren and Ernest are simply the best, always responsive, our cats love them and they're so very kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, and cats since I was 11. I've mostly pet sat for family and friends so far, and hope to get the opportunity to meet your pet(s) soon too! I will respect your pet's boundaries, they'll get to choose how much or how little they want to interact with me. I can medicate pets, and do so daily with one of my own cats. I currently live with an elderly mini Aussie, and can adjust activity levels as needed for older pets. I'm currently looking for a job related to plants. I have plenty of free time to give your pet(s) whatever care they may need while looking after them. I will do anything your pet may need, including but not limited to crating, medicating, and walks. As long as you can provide me clear instructions, I'll get it done!
“Emma took excellent care of our cats!!! This is our second time using her and we already have her booked for an extended trip this summer. She has an easy, relaxed, and calming presence. This is a perfect for our slightly anxious cats.”
“Emily helped me with a last minute booking and she treated my boys with so much love and care! the pictures were so cute and my boys looked happy!🐾🩵 amazing communication from Emily! I recommend her! thank you!”
“Silvia goes above and beyond. She is trustworthy, reliable, conscientious and even asks about doing extras. I have zero concerns leaving our pet babes in her capable hands”
About: I've been an avid animal lover all my life and have had pets (everything from dogs and cats, to rescued dwarf hamsters and injured wildlife) since I was a kid. My parents weren't thrilled when I ran a pet rescue at age 7, but it stayed with me, working with Wildlife rehabilitators well into college. I hung up my "official" rescue hat to raise kids and work in corporate but continue to care for pets (my own 1 dog & 2 cats) and enjoy meeting new furbaby friends frequently. I have a flexible work schedule (self employed holistic coaching) so add in pet care as my schedule and interest permits. I'm not one for sitting idle, so love filling up time with meaningful activities including pet care. I consider each pet's needs and personalities and make sure to care for them from that perspective. Whether it is an anxious pup who needs to feel safe, a confident cat who needs attention at her own will, or a rambunctious pup who needs to be run, I love it all.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs for basically my whole life! They’ll have plenty of attentiveness, love, play time and overall care like I would care for my own! Overal I really just love dogs!!! Im very conscious of pet needs and special requests. Please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions. :)🐾 I currently have no schedule demands so I’m an open book! I am very flexible with my schedule and open to discussing needs with one another! I care for dogs like I care for people I truly love dogs wholeheartedly, they get plenty of love and attention and care, and treats!!!
About: Hi, I’m Molly! I’ve had a lifelong love for dogs and spent many years caring for two of my own who I was lucky enough to love all the way into their old age. That experience taught me how special the bond with a dog is and how important it is to know they’re in good hands when you’re away. I’ve also become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, who trust me to care for their dogs when they’re traveling or busy. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and always aim to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Since I work from home much of the time, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending time keeping your dog company, I focus on providing calm, attentive care. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel relaxed while you’re away. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific routines or care instructions. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to take dogs out for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship so they aren’t left alone for long periods. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. All focus can go to your dog(s) since I will only host one family's pet at a time. Fully fenced yard. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can care for them exactly how you prefer. I keep a close eye on dogs during walks and outdoor time and always use leashes unless in a secure fenced area. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy. I always recommend a meet-and-greet first so both you and your dog feel completely comfortable.
“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of our two young cats in our home. They have a ton of energy and require a lot of playtime, and Stephanie clearly gave them a lot of attention and care. Additionally, one of our cats has pica, and Stephanie was very conscientious about that and was able to get her to take her liquid medication each morning (not an easy task). She provided detailed updates and lots of pics, and we felt very at ease knowing our kitties were safe in her care. We highly recommend Stephanie to everyone and we would love to work with her again!”
“Christina was a great sitter. Very communicative about any issues as well as just giving updates about visits. A true pet lover. Will be rebooking in the future!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 10 years old, giving me years of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and following each owner’s specific care instructions. I’m currently job searching, as I am new to this area, so I will be available pretty much any time during daylight hours and weekends. I cannot bring pets into my apartments, but I am happy to watch someone else’s dog at their own place. I usually receive a list of things to do for the pet(s) and follow the instructions as they should be done, to ensure the pet(s) are comfortable.
About: I focus on building trust first. I like to play, engage, and use simple training techniques to create a strong bond, which helps dogs feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also attentive to different needs: Puppies: patience, basic training support, and structured routines Adult dogs: exercise, engagement, and consistency Senior dogs: gentle care, close monitoring, and comfort-focused attention. My approach is simple, keep your pet active, safe, and emotionally secure, while maintaining clear communication with you at all times. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care. I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. During that time, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and loving care in a safe and comfortable environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise routines. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sumner
Susan did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away for two weeks. We came home to clean food, water, and litter spaces and two happy kitties; it was obvious from the pictures that she spent quality time playing with them and petting them. Susan went above and beyond to make sure the cats were well-cared for in our absence.
Nikki was great with our kitties. Even the most shy kitties came out for her! She was also able to give our most stubborn kitty his medicine. It was such a relief knowing our kitties were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be asking her to come back.
Natane took such great care of our cat while we were away, Nugget absolutely LOVED her and all the playing/snuggles from her daily. She even went above and beyond cleaning up his messes, the litter box, and took out our trash in the kitchen! We couldn’t recommend her more. We will be returning clients!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Sumner is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.

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.
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.
