About: I have had dogs throughout my whole life. I am comfortable with all sizes and their unique personalities. After decades in hospitality and guest care, I bring that same attention , communication and reassurance to your pets. I recently sold a very busy business. with a desire for a more balanced life , I now work part-time from home with a very flexible schedule. I love the outdoors and live next to a trailhead for daily walks in the woods. I wanted to combine my love of being outside and moving , with my adoration for dogs. With our two children grown and gone, we have plenty of space in our two story home. We have a large yard and live next to a very large park with extensive trails throughout the woods. We also have the space to crate your pet, should you require. We recently lost our dog Brady of ten years and our home is a well loved dog home where pets are free to roam and be. We are not in the position to have a pet full time but caring for others is the perfect fit.
About: I offer loving in-home doggy day care and drop-in visits. Having a dog of my own has taught me the importance of patience, routine, and safety. I provide a calm environment and always give pets the care and attention they deserve while their owners are away. Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to offer in-home doggy day care as well as drop-in visits. I focus on providing a calm, safe environment, regular routines, and plenty of attention so each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and supervised environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, rest, and lots of attention. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible. During drop-in visits at a client’s home, I focus on feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.
“Alyssa was so accommodating and easy to watch to wth. She took great care of my cat while I was away, and made sure to give her lots of love and attention. I will definitely be using her again when I am away!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summerside
Christopher traveled to our campground for a drop in visit for my 2 dogs. Before that he went above and beyond to meet us prior so that the animals could meet him. He was great with them. He obviously has lots of experience with animals and shows a confidence that is comforting to them. He followed all my directions and communicated very well. It was a great experience! We'd definitely have him back again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Summerside on Rover is $24.42 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 .
There are 45 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Summerside. About 86% of Summerside 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.
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 travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Summerside 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 based on 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.
You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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 Summerside 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!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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.
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.
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 veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
