About: Hi! 🐾 myself and my husband have loved animals for as long as we can remember and have cared for dogs and cats since we were little. We are proud dog parents of three pups , and they truly are family! I work from home, so I’m home 24/7 and able to give your fur baby plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and LOTS of cuddles. ❤️ We potty trained all three of our dogs and have experience caring for pets with special needs, including administering insulin to our diabetic pup and keeping a consistent feeding and medication schedule. When your pet is with us, they’ll be treated just like one of our own with lots of love, patience, attention, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work full-time Monday through Friday from home and take my breaks and lunches as an opportunity to get outside in the yard with the dogs. We also love taking our pups on a long walk in the afternoon. We have a fully fenced in yard as well as two Shih Tzu‘s and a Staffordshire terrier that are extremely friendly and have never ever shown signs of aggression in the 9 to 4 years we have had them. Our home also has a number of gates to separate pups if needed. We also have a backyard camera as well as a front door camera. If your pups are outside they will always be supervised. We do allow our animals on the couch as well as our bed as we do have clingy babies who love to cuddle so we are more than happy to cuddle your baby if needed. We also have a six month old at home but we are already used to keeping her at a safe distance from any animals in the home.

“Jessi was amazing! My dog seemed to have a blast with her and her family. She was very responsive and sent me daily photos and updates of my pup. She was very understanding and flexible when I needed to add an extra day due to an emergency. I am certain that my dog was loved and extremely well taken care of with Jessi. Jessi truly went above and beyond! I will definitely be using her again and I highly recommend her to others.”

“I cannot express the amount of detail and love that he puts into caring for our dogs. We've done everything you can imagine: dog boarding, PetSmart, friends and family but we've never had such an amazing experience with George and his lovely family. Our dogs were welcomed with such open arms while checking in with us to see how they are doing. The care they received was above and beyond and I couldn't be happier to make him out exclusive dog sitter :)”

“Nancy was absolutely amazing with my dog Bella, who has anxiety. From the moment I dropped her off, Nancy was patient, gentle, and incredibly understanding of Bella’s needs. She treated Bella like her own and made her feel safe and comfortable. Nancy kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Bella came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience and highly recommend Nancy to anyone—especially if you have a dog with anxiety.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 25 years of experience caring for them. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from small companion dogs to German Shepherds and Huskies. I’m currently raising my third Husky, Sirus, who is an incredibly loving, playful, and friendly boy! I’m also a nursing student with a background in emergency medicine, and I have experience caring for dogs with more complex medical needs. My previous Husky had both diabetes and cancer, so I’m very familiar with administering medications, giving injections, monitoring health conditions, and providing extra attention to dogs who need it. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves playing, cuddling on the couch, or just relaxing, I want them to feel completely comfortable and loved while they’re here. I’ll also send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well taken care of! I’m currently a nursing student, so a lot of my free time is spent at home studying and hanging out with my Husky, Sirus! Since I’m already home spending time with him, welcoming another furry friend fits perfectly into our routine. I currently offer doggy daycare on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, along with overnight boarding on Friday and Saturday nights! Whether you need someone to watch your pup while you’re at work, have weekend plans, or just want your dog to enjoy a fun day with a furry friend, I’d love to help! During their stay, your pup will receive plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of love. I have grassy areas conveniently located right outside my first-floor condo, making outdoor breaks and walks easy throughout the day. I understand how important routines are for our pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s regular feeding, medication, and potty schedules to help them feel right at home. My goal is to make every stay feel like a fun little sleepover or playdate rather than being away from home! And of course, I’ll send pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you always know how your fur baby is doing. My availability: * Tuesday: Doggy daycare * Friday: Overnight boarding * Saturday: Doggy daycare and overnight boarding * Sunday: Doggy daycare Drop-off and pickup times can be arranged in advance, and I do require a meet-and-greet with Sirus before accepting new furry guests to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets along! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! I want every pup who stays with me to feel like they’re right at home, receiving the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog. I live in a cozy, first-floor condo with my neutered male Husky, Sirus. He’s incredibly loving, playful, and gets along wonderfully with dogs of all breeds and sizes! For everyone’s safety, I do require that visiting dogs be friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs, especially males. I also require a meet-and-greet before their first stay to make sure everyone is a good match. My condo has convenient access to grassy fields both in front of and behind the complex, so there are plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, fresh air, and walks throughout the day. All outdoor activities are supervised, and dogs are always kept on a leash. Inside my home, your pup is treated like family! They’re welcome to cuddle on the couch, relax on the furniture, play with toys, or simply hang out with Sirus and me. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you’re away. As a nursing student with a background in emergency medicine, I understand the importance of safety, recognizing changes in health, and responding appropriately when something isn’t right. I also have personal experience caring for dogs with serious medical conditions, including diabetes and cancer. I’m comfortable administering medications and prescribed injections with proper instructions. I follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication routine, and care instructions closely. I’ll also provide regular pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so every pup receives the individual attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming home where your dog feels like part of our little family!

“The sweetest sitter ever!! 🥹💕 10/10, we absolutely loved our experience! She sent me so many adorable videos of our girls playing, which made me feel so comfortable knowing they were having the best time. She even sent them home with cute little bandanas and a bag of treats 🥹🎀 The sweetest, most thoughtful touch! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our babies and for being so responsive, flexible, and genuinely sweet to our girls. You can tell how much love and care she puts into what she does, and that means everything as a dog mom. We’ll absolutely be leaving both of our babies with her whenever we have a show in Tacoma! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly, highly recommend!! 💕”

About: Hi! I am a dog parent to a sweet Pembroke Welsh corgi and I know how important it is to find someone who truly gets your dogs need from daily routine routines to emotional comfort. I value enrichment just as much as exercise from sniff walks and food puzzles to games and new experiences. I make sure dogs get the mental stimulation they need to feel satisfied and balanced. Whether your dog is high energy or prefers a slower pace I’ll taylor their day to the unique needs. I am attentive and committed to treating your pup like one of my own with lots of love gentle structure and constant updates to keep you in the loop. I am available everyday, from 6am to 5pm (sometimes even until 8pm). My Corgi is friendly and is also ready to play (if your dog wishes to). I follow what you indicate and do what’s best for your Pup. I knos how to read dog’s body language and is ready to make them feel loved. I am attentive of what your Pup puts in their mouth, the environment they are walking around, the noises… anything that might cause trouble.

“I had an extremely busy schedule recently and had to find a sitter just three days before my trip — and to make things more complicated, my puppy was in heat and had a bit of diarrhea at the time. It was incredibly difficult to find someone I could trust on such short notice for a puppy with extra needs — but I was so lucky to come across Siyun! Siyun is such a sweet and caring person — incredibly responsive, attentive, patient, and responsible. I brought her quite a bit of inconvenience, especially with the last-minute drop-off and pick-up times, but she went out of her way to accommodate everything and make it work smoothly. Throughout Aurea’s stay, Siyun kept me updated with the cutest photos and fun little stories about her time there. The level of care she provided was truly outstanding — Aurea had plenty of space to explore, people to interact with, kids to play with, and a yard where she could roam freely. I could see how genuinely happy and comfortable Aurea was with Siyun and her family — to the point that she didn’t even want to leave, haha! Thank you so much, Siyun! Aurea and I are both truly grateful to have met you and your lovely family.”

About: I’m a mom to humans and pets, with one dog and one cat at home. We loved being a two-dog family but lost one of our pups two years ago. We’re not ready to add another permanently, but have plenty of extra dog love to give! We have a great yard and love playtime, walks, snuggles, and lots of attention. We’d love to “borrow” your pup and treat them like part of the family while they’re here. Pet care is already part of my everyday routine with my own dog and cat, so adding another furry friend fits right in! I'm already doing meals, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to play. Inside, pets are welcome to make themselves at home, and there is space for a crate if needed. I'm happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, rules, and preferences to help them feel comfortable.

“Yukti was absolutely wonderful! She worked with me and around my crazy schedule to help take care of our dog while I was out of town. Drop off and pick up were a breeze. I loved her text, picture, and video updates while I was away. I truly felt like she was caring for my puppy as her own. Her puppy was such a great friend and playmate for my puppy. I even felt like my puppy came back more well-behaved than before I dropped her off! I could really see that she truly loves dogs and has such a kind heart. I will 100% use Yukti again for my pet care needs and would recommend her to other Rover members.”

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Sumner

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Sumner is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $83 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.

There are 5,212 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Sumner. About 91% of Sumner sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in WA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
