“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
“Nikki was so professional, attentive, and accommodating! She went above and beyond to look after our cats, and help us feel at ease while we were away. This was our first experience with Rover and we’re grateful it was so exceptional. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Jaz was dependable and our dog loved her! She came to visit and take care of our dog twice a day for 4 days while we were out of town. Our family will definitely be using her again!”
“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!!”
“Emma was great with our cat! She made sure she always had water and food, cleaned her litter box, and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. Will definitely book her again!”
“If you are looking for a pet sitter to help ensure your trip is stress-free, LOOK NO FURTHER! Madison was so awesome!! She watched our three kitties while we vacationed in Aruba for a week. I get very stressed leaving them but she left thorough visit notes and took lots of pictures of them. We felt she did such an amazing job and will definitely be rebooking her as long as she does petsitting. She is so sweet and clearly loves animals! Thanks again!!”
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.
“What can I say , Rose is awesome ! Prompt , courteous , communicative and super attentive. Her Rover cards are a pleasure to read. I knew my pup was in great hands and well cared for.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a dog of my own as an adult. I currently have two friendly, mature lab mixes who are well-socialized and used to being around other dogs. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and providing a safe, comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I treat every dog like part of the family and aim to provide reliable, attentive care you can trust. I currently work full time from home and I have a great fully fenced in landscaped back yard. I live close to a nice park for great walks and exercise. I’m very accommodating to the needs of your pet, I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly pups. I’d love to setup a meet and greet before any service to ensure all parties feel comfortable.
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.
“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 :)”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have provided pet sitting for family and friends for many years. Now that our kids are grown and out of the house, I have the time, flexibility, and heart to care for other families’ dogs as if they were my own. We live on Lake Tapps in a home with a fully fenced yard, and I work in the Tech Industry fully remote, which means your dog will have supervision and companionship throughout the day — not long stretches alone. We share our home with our sweet 8-year-old Aussiedoodle, Maverick, who is friendly and well-socialized. I understand that pets are family, and I provide consistent, loving, and attentive care. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, outdoor exploring, or just relaxing inside, I adjust to their personality and comfort level. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I work fully remote from home, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches. I’m available for boarding and daycare on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate most drop-off and pick-up times with advance notice. We live on Lake Tapps in a calm home with a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play. We share our home with our friendly 8-year-old Aussiedoodle, Maverick, who is well-socialized and gentle. Dogs are supervised at all times while outside, and I follow each owner’s feeding schedule, exercise preferences, and house rules closely. I can crate your dog if requested and always prioritize a safe, low-stress environment.
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.
“Veronica is great! She’s attentive, communicative, and insightful (had our cats’ peculiarities sussed out after the first visit). Bottom line: our pets were calm and happy upon our return home. We’d trust Veronica with them again in a heart beat.”
About: Hi! I have had over 10 years of experience with my own fur babies. Both of my girls have crossed the rainbow bridge but we got to enjoy their golden years together, going for walks and soaking up the sun. As my dogs got older I became a pro in distributing oral medications and eye drops. Roxy (my Shih Tzu) also became blind and deaf so I have experience with those disabilities as well. I give exceptional belly rubs, & will give these babies compliments all day long. I do work full time, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. Saturday - Monday my availability is pretty open. Tuesday - Friday I would be available after 5pm. My neighborhood has wonderful with walking trails that we could explore. I also live next door to my aunt who has a super friendly Corgi and is always looking for friends to play with. I do love to snuggle up with a pup on the couch or bed, but do have space for a crate if that would be more comfortable for them.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sumner is $25

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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 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 October 2026, there are 11,182 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
