“Jessica was great. She was able to help me out with a last minute request and really saved the day. Always on time, posted check ins with pics and my pup was very happy. She’s the best.”
About: I’m a Samoyed owner with hands-on experience caring for large, energetic dogs. I’m comfortable with strong pullers, long walks, high-energy play, feeding, basic routines, and keeping dogs safely supervised. I understand that every dog has their own personality and boundaries, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and take time to learn each dog’s routine and preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of exercise for dogs who need it! I’m usually available 7 days a week. Same-day bookings are welcome! Please send your request at least 6 hours before your preferred start time. My schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out if you have any special timing needs. Your dog’s safety is always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including preferred walking routes, leash and harness routines, interactions with other dogs, and any behaviors or triggers I should watch for. I keep dogs leashed throughout walks unless specifically instructed otherwise in a safe and appropriate area. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during or after each walk.
“This was my first time using Rover and I have nothing but good things to say about Jessica. She’s very genuine and kind. She cared for my senior dog while we were on a trip for 5 days and she went above and beyond! I am very satisfied with his care!”
“Lauren and Ernest provided excellent care and love to our pets- we have a very temperamental cat who loves Lauren, an affectionate doggo who soaked up all the snuggles from Ernest and our lizard Rocky enjoyed a salad prepared by Lauren. The two of them have extensive pet experience and cared for our three pets like their own. Thank you!!”
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
About: I have owned and cared for multiple dog breeds, I dog sit a ton for friends and family. I love providing a safe and loving environment for your precious fur baby’s. I work from home which gives me incredible flexibility to provide your pet one on one attention. I have a work schedule that allows time for multiple walks and playtime. I have a fenced yard and I also have a 4 year old (neutered) male dog that loves to have play dates. I live in a nice housing development with sidewalks which enables safe dog walking. I send multiple updates and pictures to you while you’re away. It is important your pets are friendly with other dogs and well socialized. I do slow introductions with my dog to make sure they are comfortable with each other. Safety is my top priority so any dog showing aggression will be separated. Dogs will be fed separately for safety. Please have your dogs Rover profile filled out and up to date with care instructions and vet info. I do not require meet and greets, but usually have the flexibility to set up a meeting if you’d prefer. All dogs are required to wear a collar with ID tag,
“Leslie is great! She checks in on my cat when I am out of town. Making sure she gets her meds, food, and a clean litter box. I definitely recommend her to look after your pets!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Natalie was super communicative, timely, she sent great pics and videos and followed instructions to a T! I’m really excited because I feel like I finally found my go to. Thank you Natalie!!!!”
“Rose was so great with our cats, who definitely didn’t make it an easy visit. Regular visits, pictures and updates helped us keep peace of mind while we were away from them. They were well loved and taken care of!”
“Mandi followed all the directions I left for her and sent many pictures of her short 30 minute visit with my pups! It was a hot day, but she still made sure they got a low key outdoor break during her time with them.”
About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my experience, calm confidence, and genuine dedication to each dog’s individual needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages having grown up with several rescue dogs. I also understand that dogs thrive on routine, so I work hard to maintain their usual schedule and provide plenty of attention, play, and exercise based on their energy level. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I adapt my care to make them feel secure and loved while you're away. I am currently a collage student who is taking online classes at the moment, so I have a pretty flexible schedule to adapt to your pet care needs. Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the core of how I care for pets in their homes. I always begin by carefully reviewing and following any care instructions provided, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and behavioral notes. I double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure at all times to prevent accidents or escapes. I also make it a priority to keep the environment clean and pet-friendly—regularly refreshing water, tidying up feeding areas, and safely storing pet supplies. I avoid introducing any new items or treats without the owner’s approval and make sure the space remains familiar and stress-free for the pet.
About: I communicate very well and work in a timely manner. I care for the pets that owners can trust and always be available to check in on there pet I work m-f so I don’t mind a extra hobby to do on the weekends while pet owners are away and can trust someone to care for there pet I have a fenced yard and lots of room to run around in. They can stay outside or inside whatever they choose I love to take them for walks as well.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. Over the years, multiple family members have trusted me to care for their dogs, which gave me the opportunity to learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In 2020, my mom and I welcomed our beautiful Goldendoodle into our family, and caring for her has brought me so much joy. I’ve also spent years helping care for my sister’s small Mini Poodle. I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller, more laid-back pups. I understand that every dog is different and that some dogs need extra patience, attention, exercise, reassurance, and support. I’m comfortable keeping up with energetic dogs and making sure they receive the care, love, and attention they need. Most importantly, I believe patience is key. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I currently work full time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m primarily available Friday evenings and weekends, with occasional Thursday availability. Spending time with pups brings me joy and helps me recharge, and I take pride in getting to know each pet and their family. I’m very attentive to each pet and make sure their individual needs, routines, and comfort come first. I live in a spacious condo with an unfenced grassy area, and there are several parks close to my home, making it easy to get outside for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll always provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pup can feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had animals for all my life from dogs, to cats to even tortoises. I grew up in a life of veterinary medicine, hanging out taking care of animals is my favorite hobby! Weekends I am completely open to Drop in or walk any furry friends, during the week I am available to drop in or walk 5am-6am. Afternoon drop in/walk time during the week would have to be after 6:30pm(Not available Tuesday afternoons) I will take care of your pets as if they are one of my own and trust me I have plenty of pets 6 to be exact!
“Karinne watched one of our 10 months old puppies (husky/lab mix) for us named Marlow, for 3 days. We requested visits 3x a day (feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks). She took care of him during some pretty hot summer days and made sure he ate ice cubes, doggy ice cream, and was entertained inside during the hottest parts of the day. She even made sure to move the fan closer to his dog pen to make sure he had enough ways to cool down in between visits. Karinne sent me texts w/ pictures and videos of my pup throughout the stay (even on walks). She also paid attention to his bowel movements and tracked things just in case he had any digestion issues (we had recently changed his food). I had a family member at home during the whole time who was caring for a sick family member upstairs so she also told me that Karinne followed all of my directions and showed up during the requested times. We own 2 dogs and having Karinne watch over our boy dog at home made him comfortable and anxiety free. He can't go to doggy camp because he is not neutered at this time and has a heart murmur. Karinne made our time away from home worry free knowing our pup was in good hands. I will use her services again. Thank You!”

I highly recommend Aly, my cat who usually is skittish of strangers took to her immediately! She was so communicative and put my mind at ease, I appreciated the prompt responses and updates plus so many photos of my cat while I was away! Will absolutely be hiring her again!
Susan did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away for two weeks. We came home to clean food, water, and litter spaces and two happy kitties; it was obvious from the pictures that she spent quality time playing with them and petting them. Susan went above and beyond to make sure the cats were well-cared for in our absence.
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.
Nikki was great with our kitties. Even the most shy kitties came out for her! She was also able to give our most stubborn kitty his medicine. It was such a relief knowing our kitties were being well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be asking her to come back.
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!
Natane took such great care of our cat while we were away, Nugget absolutely LOVED her and all the playing/snuggles from her daily. She even went above and beyond cleaning up his messes, the litter box, and took out our trash in the kitchen! We couldn’t recommend her more. We will be returning clients!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 11,159 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sumner. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
