“I had a family emergency and had to leave town ASAP, Ivy without hesitation stepped up and made sure Bear had his walks and was taken care of. I cannot thank Ivy enough for helping me out on such short notice during such a stressful time. She is truly the best!”
“Andrhu is so great with our girls! He plays so well with our social dog so that she is worn out and happy when we get home. For our shy dog, he gives gentle attention and praise, working to form a bond of trust. He was also so thoughtful to stow our Amazon delivery safely out of sight. He really is the best!”
“Sophia's availability and reliability are excellent! I can tell she genuinely cares about and enjoys working with animals. Our dogs are like family to us and we appreciate sitters like Sophia who treat them as such.”
About: I have owned pets my entire life and miss having them around. Timing is not right for me now to have my own so I am opening my life up to caring for others’ pets. I currently work from my home office which allows me flexibility to care for pets periodically throughout the week. Most weekends are open for me. My apartment complex has a fenced play yard for dogs. I also walk for exercise frequently and would take your dog on walks with me.
“Adam has been the best find of Tacoma so far! He is extremely prompt in his responses and communicates easily and is flexible! I trust him completely in my apartment and with my dog. He takes Chief to the park and plays with him for a long while when he has time. I could not imagine a better friend for Chief!”
“Silvia was absolutely wonderful! I am an anxious person about our dogs' care. We also have a senior dog with her own quirks. Silvia was kind and patient in getting to know our dogs and communicated with me every day about the visits. I highly recommend her and look forward to requesting her support for our dogs in the future! Thank you so much, Silvia!!”
“Oh my goodness. What a great human. Emilia was so patient, sitting with my shy dog before going on the walks and she warmed up so well after the patience. I got videos and pictures. Emilia went above and beyond, so grateful!!”
“Isa did a great job with our dog, Frida. She’s reliable and communicative, and it’s clear from the pictures that all of our animals (dog and 3 cats) wanted to be around her! We recommend her for your dog and cat care needs, and we’ll definitely be rebooking her again.”
“Kacey was the perfect answer to giving our dogs a midday break while our friends were taking care of them. Kacey was the ‘dog whisperer’ and even got our boys to ‘pose’ for some beautiful photos! We are very thankful for Kacey and her loving care of our boys during their walks together. Thank you, Kacey!”
“Callie is always on time and very professional. I often have schedule changes and have to book last minute or change bookings around last minute and she makes everything work out whenever possible. Always a pleasure to work with.”
“Anna has been fantastic with our dog, Chad. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she works with. We always feel confident knowing Chad is in good hands, and he’s always happy after his walks. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog walker!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was a little girl. I grew up in a home that bred yellow labs, and that’s where my love for dogs truly began. Since then, I’ve had the joy of caring for many of my own fur babies over the years—including labs, cats, a husky, golden retriever and more. Today, my husband, our two teens, and I share our home with our sweet golden retriever, Milo, and our cat, Kerplunk—both very loved members of our family. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to care for their pets like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I provide reliable care, lots of affection, and daily updates so you can truly relax and enjoy your time away without worry. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home most of the week, which allows me to give your fur baby plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m available and present. I do step out of the home on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but during those times my husband is home and happy to step in to make sure your pet continues to receive consistent care, supervision, and attention. Your pet will also have a friendly golden retriever to play with, providing built-in companionship and extra fun during their stay! Your pet will never feel alone or overlooked—we truly work as a team to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment! Pet sitting with love! We treat our fur babies like family, and our crew includes golden retriever Milo (almost 3, with plenty of puppy energy!) and kitty Kerplunk. They love cuddling on our beds and couch. Our fenced backyard is a safe spot for pups to play - they'd love to meet yours!

Jazmyne was great with my 2 highly energetic dogs. My dogs can be anxious, but they loved her on sight and she was able to handle them well! I am so grateful for Jazmyne's help when I had a rolled ankle and wasn't able to walk them myself for several consecutive days!
Gretchen was a life saver! I recently had surgery and was unable to walk my little guys. Gretchen helped me out last minute with walking them. She is friendly and my dogs loved her. They don’t always want to go somewhere without me, but they trotted off without a care!
Jillian has been taking my dog on walks weekly for a couple months. It’s always an easy process with her! My dog has been better on walks ever since we’ve been working with her, he pulls less and is less reactive! I appreciate her help and I’m sure my dog does too!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sumner. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sumner.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sumner. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
