“Keegan was amazing! We have a very nervous and dog-reactive German Shepherd, so we were worried about finding the right sitter. Keegan exceeded our expectations and took such great care of both of our dogs. She was patient, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We’re so happy to have found our go-to person for watching our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Victoria was attentive, asked questions about care of our two dogs, took detailed notes to be sure she had the information on hand to care for and handle any issues that might come up while sitting with our dogs. She kept a clean house and documented the each day, (care, walks, meals, and activities), with some pictures and notes to keep us informed. We will call on her again for our dog sitting needs.”
“She stayed in touch with many pics. Our 3 dogs are in great spirits. She even washed the bedding from our spare room. The one she used while dog sitting. We will try to use her again, granted schedules match.”
“Natalie is fabulous! She took excellent care of our dog while we were away for 10 days. She spoiled him with lots cuddles and playtime, just as we had asked! She followed our directions and she kept in touch the whole time. Excellent communication. Absolutely would recommend.”
“Kari is hands down the BEST dog sitter. We have a very anxious rescue shiba and a pandemic puppy that hasn’t been around a ton of people. Kari was great with them while we were gone and put our minds at ease by giving us daily updates and pics. If you are looking for an amazing dog sitter, look no further…Kari is the best! We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Our dogs loved Jessica! She is very communicative and took care of them and our house as if it were her own. Our flight was delayed and she was able to help us out a little longer too.”
“Maleka Did a great job. She sent pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. Our dogs love to lay outside which she spent time with them. Our house was clean, the sheets she slept in were washed, and she made the bed! Her communication with us made my husband and I feel relaxed on our vacation. We our looking forward to her watching our dogs in October! She is the outstanding.”
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!
“Kim watched our dog while we traveled internationally for over a week. She took such great care of our dog and followed all instructions! She went above and beyond in the care of our house, and was great with communication. We would definitely use her for future needs and recommend to others.”
“Eva was amazing! She is such a kind and friendly person! I would definitely ask her to watch our pups again. She was very thorough and great at communication. Eva took such good care of our dogs and sent lots of updates! She made us leaving them stress free.”
About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs, puppies, and every age of dog in between. I lived on a farm for several years and gained experience in working with horses, cows, pigs, cats, ducks, bunnies, and chickens. I work part time on the weekends, but am available during the weekdays. I am available for overnight care if needed and am happy to help out whenever. Flexible with owners daily routine with their pet. Whatever they do, I’m happy to figure out how to do it. I make sure to keep good watch on pets, and to take notice if anything is usual or wrong with a fur baby.
About: At home, I have my friendly mini dachshund, Elo, and our sweet kitten, Eve! They’re a big part of our family, and our home is full of love for animals. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, play, and explore in a secure space. We also live in a friendly community, making our home a welcoming place for your pets. Over the years, I’ve gained lots of experience caring for animals and understand that every pet is different. Some want to play all day, while others just want a cozy spot to relax and someone to keep them company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them extra patience and attention. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be hard, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for with love and attention. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make their time away from you as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ I currently am home most days. I do work about three days a week and never more than four hours but my kiddos are home from school at 2pm so pets are never alone. I am available to work on your pets schedule. I have a fully fenced backyard and great pet friendly community. My puppy has his own gated off room so if your pup needs a break from playing he can roam about freely. We mainly have this area for my pup because he is still potty training. Our kitten sleeps in my daughter's room at night but she is out playing during the day. She tends to just say hello to other pets and let them be unless they want to play with her. Your pet will be in a very safe and fully nurtured space!
“We were so fortunate to have Koresa sit for our senior cat, Walter, while we were out of town. Walter has some health issues for which he needs daily medication and some extra TLC. Koresa was so conscientious and professional and devoted. We had great communication from her while we were away - we always knew Walter was in good hands. On our return, our home was spotless and we had a happy kitty who had made a new friend. He was bummed to see her go! We would be so pleased to have Koresa as our catsitter again.”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would. Megan went above and beyond for our pups and we are so grateful to her for showering our pups with love while we were away. Great communication, left the house spotless, and sent pictures every day. We will definitely contact her again for any future needs.”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
About: I communicate very well and work in a timely manner.

They can stay outside or inside whatever they choose I love to take them for walks as well.
About: I’m a dependable dog lover who enjoys creating a calm, fun environment for pets. Whether your dog needs long walks, structured routines, extra patience, or just plenty of affection, I adapt to their needs. I have experience caring for energetic puppies as well as older dogs who need gentler attention and consistency I’m currently working part-time, so pet care fits well into my schedule. I’m available on weekends, and on weekdays I’m available after 3 PM. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, care, exercise, and companionship I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, and house rules. In both my home and a client’s home, I make sure pets have plenty of attention, fresh water, exercise, and supervision. I also give regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for

We feel so fortunate to have found Ashley to take care of Leo, our bernedoodle, 7 months old. Ashely is a true dog person with a long history of compassionate, dedicated, and professional care for dogs, including rehabilitating dogs who've been traumatized. What a big heart she has, and rare and special skills. Our Leo stayed with her for 12 days when we travelled. He had a great time playing with Ashley's other dogs and cared for by Ashley's family--a "team effort," as she puts it. Amazingly Leo came home with better puppy manners. He learned good things at Ashley's house! We are really grateful to Ashley for taking such great care of Leo. He clearly had a wonderful doggie time.
Sequoia is wonderful! She was able to accommodate Kai on short notice and was so thoughtful about making sure our pups met beforehand and had good chemistry, which I really appreciated. She treated Kai with so much love and kindness, and I could tell she had a great time with Sequoia and her pups. She was very quick to respond and provided great updates that I deeply appreciated being away from my girl for two weeks. She also worked with Kai on her leash reactivity while I was away, and I’ve already noticed an improvement in her leash walking. She shared helpful observations and tips for continuing her training at home as well. Overall, Kai came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care Sequoia gave her. She’s a no brainer if you need quality care for your pets.
Jazmyne did a great job with my senior cat. He gets very nervous when his mama is gone, but knowing Jazmyne was there gave me great comfort. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures, so I knew how my boy was doing each day I was away. She followed my directions to a tee, and kept me informed when anything seemed out of the ordinary. As a bonus, my house was spotless when I arrived home, which was SO nice to come back to after being gone for an extended weekend. Don’t hesitate to book with Jazmyne; she is very conscientious, and clearly loves the animals she cares for as if they were her own.
If we could give 10 stars, we would! Ashlee went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation. She had great communication, sent tons of pictures and took exceptional care of both our pup and home. On top of that, she was more than willing to extend her stay due to travel complications. We will be repeat customers and are so happy we found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sumner is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $90 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Sumner walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Sumner maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sumner. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
