About: I have 3 dogs who love to play with other dogs. I also love to play with other dogs! I love going to the dog park and getting to pet new dogs. I have a Pekinese, Pitbull, and Pitbull mix, they are very gentle with their tiny brother. I work from home and work for myself, so I make my own schedule. I can take them on walks when needed, go on potty breaks when needed, attention when needed. Ideal situation. I have a fully fenced yard and my dogs like to chase each other around. Inside same thing, we really don't have any rules, except dogs stay downstairs. We love to play with them and wrestle around, but also respect when they need their space or when they just need cuddles.
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 have taken care of lots of animals since I was little. I have lots of expirence with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, bunnies. I have used pet pads, litter boxes, training tequniques for dogs to sit, shake, lay down and roll over and to wait. I have worked with new born puppies/kittens to elderly animals. 😍 I have worked with really shy doggos to some super cuddly oversize lap dogs with all the energy. 🤪😂🩷 I only work part time, and I have weekends off and afternoon evenings off so I have plenty of time to play with furry friends! I have leashes, and am comfortable going on lots of walks in nearby areas. I can offer treats and some toys if the client would like.
About: I have almost 5 years of pet care experience as a professional career and have been involved in dogs starting in 4H when I was in middle school. I have dealt with most breeds and energy levels. I’m currently working part-time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. During this time of year early morning is the safest and preferred option. A meet and greet before our first walk to go over your dogs behavior and routine to help keep things as safe and enjoyable for your pup as possible.
About: My family has owned dogs and cats since before I have memories. I was that kid that preferred to watch Animal Planet and I've always been passionate about all critters. I started working as a stable hand with horses when I was only 10. I also worked at Sumner Veterinary Hospital in the boarding facility for a little over a year and received employee of the month twice in that time. During my time working at Sumner Vet I worked with all breeds and temperaments! It truly was some of the most rewarding work of my life. I currently have one 25lb mutt dog that I love and my first personal dog was my Rottie mix, Rocky. My family housed dogs and cats of every kind. I'm not skitish when it comes to "large personalities" and am confident in getting to know your fur baby at their pace. Know that with me, your fur babies are in loving, patient and experienced hands I currently work as a dog trainer and am attending school for behavior modification. I love walks myself and can't wait to walk your puppers. I have experience handling every kind of dog, and cat. From sweet and excited to shy or reactive. I can administer medications and am very thorough in following house schedules and plans
About: Throughout my life I’ve been caring for animals in one way or another. I have a lot of experience in senior dog/cat/horse care. I’ve trained two puppies. I currently work part time midday on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am available pretty much any other time. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can move stuff around easily. I currently have one dog and a fully fenced in yard if I am boarding. At your home I’ll follow your written directions regarding your pet.
About: I’ve always loved working with animals I think they bring so much joy into our lives. I personally own one dog of my own along side with 7 cats. I have a pretty good experience with this job I genuinely love seeing and working with all animals. And I love to help in anyway I can!! Well I’m currently doing an online college program so my schedule isn’t very limited and I actually have a lot of free range with my schedule. My cats are very independent so when they need love they express it to me and I give it to them. My dog is still in his puppy stage so I try to not give so much attention so he isn’t very dependent on it. But I just try to make sure there space is very well kept and cleaned and make sure each pet gets as much love as the others. Our animals only see us for there entire life time so making sure they are happy and safe is the main priority!!!
“Carley was so awesome with taking care of our pups! She sent photos of the visit and gave us updates of how it all went. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process of setting up the visits and during the visit. Would definitely have her take care of our dogs again :)”
“She did a great job checking in on my two kittens while I was out of town. As I requested, she spent the majority of the visits playing with them and engaging them. I had her come twice a day to check on them and feed them.”
“Very happy with Danielle’s drop-in visits! She kept us up to date with lots of information, pictures, and went above & beyond in helping with the pets. Looking forward to booking her again!”
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 have been around and caring for dogs for most of my life because either I or a family member has always had one. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs through my work at the Humane Society, where I interact with dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and behavior needs. I’m currently attending dog training school, which has helped me better understand dog behavior, body language, leash handling, basic commands, and positive training techniques. I currently focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare. I enjoy making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care they need while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, favorite things, fears, triggers, and what helps them feel comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during their care. If you’re happy with my service, a written review is always greatly appreciated and helps future pet parents feel more comfortable booking with me. 🐾 I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and doggy daycare throughout the week. My availability may vary by day, but I do my best to accommodate different schedules and routines. Feel free to message me about the dates and times you need, and I’ll let you know what I have available. I live in an apartment, but I make sure dogs receive plenty of walks, exercise, potty breaks, and attention. I always follow the owner's instructions and take the time to learn each dog's routine and needs. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society and Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary, where I work with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, positive, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care. I am also pursuing a degree in psychology and will be starting the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course. My long-term goal is to become a service dog trainer, so I'm passionate about continuing to learn and build experience working with dogs.
“Once again, Robin took great care of the pups on drop ins and they love her. She always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe….and spoiled of course.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud mom to one high energy dog and two quirky cats, so I understand how important it is to feel confident and be able to trust leaving your furry family in someone else's hands. I strive to be direct and frequent in my communication to ensure that you always feel in the loop and worry-free when you're away. Every pet is unique, and I treat them just like my own - with love, patience, and a consideration for their unique traits. Because I work limited hours from home, I’m able to pop in for visits that fit your pet’s routine, making sure they get the care, play, and companionship they need while you’re away. I am an independently insured pet sitter to help give you peace of mind! For now, I’m offering drop-in visits only, but I make every moment comforting and count so you come home to a happy, cared-for pet. I am always mindful about respecting your space, instructions, and other requests.

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $42 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 November 2026, there are 10,677 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 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.
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.

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.
