“We are so lucky to found Brittany! Her and her daughter took such great care of our cat. We appreciated the detailed updates and lots of photos/videos. In addition to proving our cat with such great attention, his food and potty area were cleaned. We had such a worry free vacation. We highly recommend her to sit your fur baby, no doubt!!!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 13 whether it was my own, friends or family. I love to house sit and spend time with animals, I can feed them, take them on walks, and have play time with them. Im currently getting my brother on/off the bus 8am and 4pm and I am looking for something I enjoy doing to fill in the time I have open and available. How I care for different pets depends on how you want me to take care of them and if there are certain things you do and don't want me to do.
“The cats said that she did great and they were well taken care of! Kyrsten was willing to take a last minute booking and saved us. Good communication and willing to work with our timing for care along with all of our instructions. Would book again!”
“Stephanie has been doing walk ins with my Boxer puppy and my Belgian Shepherd for a couple of months now - 3 days a week. She has gone above and beyond to make their experience positive - buying them a special toy to play with while she is there, picking up puppy wipes, bringing treats, quick to respond to me via text, respectful of my home, and being flexible with her schedule. My dogs are thrilled when she arrives and Stephanie has given me peace of mind when I am at work knowing the puppy is getting her time out of the crate that I am otherwise unable to provide her. Stephanie was not my first sitter on Rover, and she was brought in to cover a transition between sitters. I was thrilled to have her continue on once I realized how reliable and thoughtful she is.”
“Amber was awesome! She kept our furbabes happy while we were gone! Lots of updates and pictures, great to work with and will definitely work with her in the future when we need someone to take care of our dogs! Thank you again Amber for being so wonderful!”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, chickens, and ducks from a very young age. For the last 13 years I have worked in the pet food industry developing a knowledge and passion for pet health, behavior and nutrition. My current work schedule is Tues-Sat, I am available for walks, potty breaks and feedings before or after my shifts. Sunday and Monday there is more flexibility in my schedule and I can do mid day drop ins or longer distance runs/walks with higher activity level pets. I would love to meet you and your pet to discuss any special needs or requirements for their care. I have a fenced yard and live in walking distance to a public park and school field that can be used before/after school hours. I prefer to work with your pet in the environment which they are most comfortable, your home. I am open to short stays at my home if that is what is best for your situation.
“Karen and Matt are great people. They watched Bruno while I was gone. They communicated well, informed, and updated me. They were kind, loving and gave lots of attention to my dog. I highly recommend them. Thank you!”
About: I have had three dogs and I have been taking care of them since I was ten. Friends and family also rely on me to take care of their pets. I am a full time college student and self employed so I always have time to take care of pets. It fits into my schedule perfectly I have a fenced in yard. I walk my dogs daily together, one 70 pound dog and a 40 pound dog. My dogs are indoor dogs, but they spend a lot of time outside.
“Kelli did a great job checking in our cats everyday while we were on vacation. Our social cat befriended her quickly and she was even able to convince our other notoriously shy cat to come out for some attention. Kelli’s communication and daily photo updates were clear and thoughtful. Our cats appreciated the clean litter box and head scratches, we will be contacting her again whenever our next trip happens.”
About: Your dog will be happy, loved, and safe while they are in my care. I work from home so will be home with your dog all day. I have experience in dog obedience training using positive reinforcement. Our dog Murphy got his good citizenship award in 2026. Daily walks are a part of our routine. I am patient and empathic, especially with our fur babies 😊 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have cared for all kinds of pets- dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles... the list goes on! I even used to hand-feed cockatiel babies. And I will care for your dog the way I care for my own - with affection and lots of attention ♥️ I work from home and have time to spend lots of quality time with your pet. I go for daily walks and have a big fenced yard for play time! Our house is a very calm environment. We only have one dog, Murphy, who is super friendly and loves to play. But we also have the ability to keep dogs separate.
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.
“Marissa was amazing, she is so sweet and our kitty absolutely loved her. She took so many pictures and made sure to update me on how everything was going. Marissa went above and beyond. She gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. I will absolutely be using her again ❤️ I highly recommend Marissa!!”
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 am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 8 years of experience, the last 7 of those working in emergency veterinary medicine. I love taking care of animals and enriching their lives in any way I can. I treat all pets with the same level of care and love that I give to my own dog and 3 cats. I look forward to creating bonds and building relationships with you and your pets! I currently work full time (Sunday-Tuesday) as an LVT. I am available most Thursday-Saturdays to check in on, medicate, walk, and overall take care of your pets. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly golden retriever/Irish setter mix who loves meeting other dog friendly dogs. I am also happy to work with dogs and cats that prefer to be in their own element and have all the attention to themselves!
About: I have been pet sitting for two dogs for the past 10 years. One is a 100-lb. yellow lab and the other is a 30-lb. Shiba Inu. I have watched both of them when they were sick as well. I play with them and stay for a while petting and cuddling them. I have had small to medium-sized dogs, kittens up to adult cats, fish, birds, rats, hampsters, and snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons and I frequently watch one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I live in a mother-in-law apartment connected to my daughter's home and we have a fenced back yard and miles of walking trails. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. My daughter has one dog who loves to be around other dogs. Since I have my own apartment connected to the house, any dog I board can mingle or not depending on his/her social needs. I am a nonsmoker and am available seven days a week. I am able to board up to 2 dogs. Thank you for your consideration! As I am semi-retired, pet care fits in anywhere needed into my daily and weekly schedule. The pets in my home are part of the family so their needs are always met. Since my kids are grown, I enjoy having pets around to keep me company. I am able to care for pets in my client's home or in my home. When caring for pets in my client's home, I let dogs out twice a day or walk twice a day, check water and food, clean up where needed, give medication if needed, groom if needed, and play for awhile so they have some human interaction. I am able to watch cats in my client's home but I can watch dogs in my home as well. I can watch reptiles in my client's home or in my home if client has a travel setup. For cats, I also clean out their litterbox. At my home, dogs are let out several times a day as I have fenced back yard. For dogs who need more exercise, I walk around the neighborhood. I can run for short distances with them and play fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have 2 bearded dragons. For them, I make sure they have a salad daily and insects 2 to 3 times a week. My dragons go to the bathroom in the shower so they are put in the shower at least every other day. They get UVB light for half the day and I allow them to free roam in separate rooms the other half of the day. They also have a climbing wall up to the window so they can bask in the sun and they take turns riding in the car.
“As always, Isabel did a great job taking care of Chip and Theo. She was available very last minute which took a lot of stress off me for such a late request. I will continue to book her in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing! We are so appreciative of Alycia for dropping in on our pups during our vacation. Even though our Murphy is kind of a jerk, she got him to warm right up to her and they became besties.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sumner
Jessica was very attentive to my pup and her separation anxiety while I was away. My pup got quickly accustomed to having Jessica drop by for a visit, a walk and some treats. I really appreciate that Jessica communicated often and I hope to continue having Jessica do drop in visits with my pup, Macy, whenever I need to travel without her. I will definitely recommend her.
She did a wonderful job taking care of Lynn while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and very accommodating with Lynn’s needs and schedule. She even offered to stop by and let Lynn out when no visit was scheduled, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing Lynn was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again!
Keri was wonderful! She was very accommodating and communicative. She really gave us peace of mind leaving our dog under her care while away. She bonded with our dog Archie relatively quick and you could tell she has a way with animals. Would book her again in the future without hesitation. All around great service and experience!
Nicole did a great job helping out with my new puppy Benni. I couldn't leave him in his crate for too long while I was at work. She was able to let him out, played with him in the back yard, and fed him his mid-day meal. Nicole was punctual, and communicated to me when she might arrive a little early/late. Would definitely recommend!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Sumner is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $35 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 10,695 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sumner. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sumner choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
