About: I’ve raised several dogs from puppies to adults. I consider my pets family. I pay attention to all my pets needs. I enjoy interacting with my pets including walking & various dog toys. I make sure all my pets are loved as well as fed properly & given fresh water. Taking care of pets brings me great joy. I am a retired senior. Long time animal lover looking for a way to earn some extra money. Caring for animals feels more like a hobby than a job. Having more free time then most has made this a perfect opportunity. I have a large fully fenced yard. I can tailor my care based upon your pets needs. I have a wide open home for your pets to roam. Not to mention a huge park next door which gets much use.
“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.”
“Maria was WONDERFUL! Although we were a little hesitant trying out Rover for the first time, Maria made us feel like our babies were in great hands the entire time we were away. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“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.”
“Andrhu was so kind and flexible. When access to the house was unavailable, at my poor planning, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. It is more appreciated than he may know. He was very thorough as well during his drop in visits for our 2 pups.”
“Susan was a great sitter for my two cats when I went on a week vacation. She took great care of them and gave them plenty of love when I was away. I enjoyed receiving lots of pictures of them each day and updates.”
“Thank you, Nikki, for taking such great care of Winston and walking him while I was out of town. I really appreciated the updates and knowing he was in good hands. Winston was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with you. Thanks again for your kindness and reliability!”
“Meeting Lauren and Ernest beforehand eased my mind and convinced me my beloved kitties would be safe with them. I loved seeing the videos and pics each day as well. I came home to happy cats. Thank you both for your care!”
“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!”
“My cat Charlee was content and happy when I arrived home after a 5 day vacation. Anna's daily visits made all the difference in keeping my cat feeling safe, secure & loved.”
“Loved my experience with this capable dog sitter! She spent her own time to come and meet and greet the dogs and make sure she became familiar with their set up and what they needed. She was punctual and gave great feedback about how the visit went. I will absolutely use her again! The dogs really like her!”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I worked part time as a vet tech at an animal rescue/hospital in my hometown and I am a foster for Old Dog Haven. I was lucky enough to visit Villalobos, the famous pit bull rescue in New Orleans. I love all animals and would be honored for the opportunity to take care of your pets while you’re away. I work from home 2 days a week and my office is 5 minutes from home. My schedule is flexible so I am able to take time out for potty breaks, feedings, etc. Weekend boarding is available with some exceptions for weekday boarding and/or doggy daycare. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of room for running and playing fetch. I have an extra large kennel for those pups who are used to being kenneled at night. I am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I have 2 border collie puppies who are tons of fun and a very sweet 4 year old cat living in my home now. I would love to keep your dog safe, warm and well cared for while you’re away!
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,
“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!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of animals. I grew up on a hobby farm with cats, horses, chickens, ducks, reptiles, small rodents, and two golden retrievers, a lab, and a Great Pyrenees. We currently just have cats, but I miss having pups to come with me on my daily walk! I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and ages. If you have other pets that need care, I have lots of experience with all sorts of critters. Got any house plants that need watering while you’re gone? My 70 plants and small patio garden can attest to my green thumb 🌿 I have no formal training in obedience, but have plenty of experience teaching our family’s dogs “sit," "down" and "stay.” I’ve also taught our cat Snickers a few tricks 😻 our other cat Marzipan is missing several key brain cells, and has yet to learn more than just sit… Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. I'm responsible, hardworking, and caring, and will treat your furry friend with the love they deserve 🐾🥰 I’m currently in between jobs after graduating from grad school, so I have a lot of availability and flexibility with my schedule. Weekdays are particularly good for me. I always make sure to keep pets leashed whenever we leave the house, unless given permission from the owner to let them out in a fenced yard. I will always check that doors and gates stay shut to keep them safe.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sumner is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sumner
Gretchen did an amazing job caring for our kitty. She left detailed notes and got her to eat her diet food, which my cat often only partially eats. She went above and beyond, even taking out the trash so it wouldn't smell. Thank you so much for watching over our kitty!
Jaz was amazing and so reliable! We had some issues with our garage door opener/key but she handled everything so well and got it all taken care of so that she could check on our kitties! We so appreciate the extra effort she put in to help us while we were away. The babies looked very happy and comfortable in all the photos and videos she sent. Will absolutely book her again in the future :)
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!
Anna made drop-in visits to our cats while we were away for two weeks, and what a relief it was knowing they were well taken care of! Anna was great at communicating, responsive, and shared updates and photos regularly. She’s smart, friendly, responsible, and trustworthy.. everything we needed to feel okay about being away from our fur babies for that long. Thanks so much Anna!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sumner on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 11,399 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sumner. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sumner stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
