“Ava was a lifesaver and a great sitter for my two pups. I had a dog sitter cancel and she stepped in at the last minute. She was very responsive and sent updates often. I will definitely ask her to sit with my pups again.”
“I would leave 6 stars if I could! Andrea was great with Mavis, and so professional and friendly. She communicated well with me and sent pictures which I loved. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to have her back!”
“Arlene was absolutely fabulous! She sat my three cats and two dogs and handled our zoo with ease. We have a special needs dog and she knew exactly how to care for him. She sent regular pictures and asked questions when needed. Our furbabies were treated like royals. Love love love her! Will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I haven't had my own pets in a long time, but I've cared for over a dozen pets that I treated like my own despite belonging to others. I've introduced myself to and won over plenty of pets with my calm and collected approach. The majority of my pet care experience has been through visiting the homes of family friends to give their dogs bathroom breaks and be sure they have some company for a while as their owners are at work or on vacation. On multiple occasions, I've also stayed overnight for multiple days at a time. Because of this, I'm well equipped to meet your pets smoothly and cohabitate with them. I currently work remotely and have plans to attend college online, so I'll have more than enough time to visit at the very least. I can absolutely stay over, as I can simply work wherever I have my laptop if need be. Your pets will always be the first priority, of course. I do not have pets of my own at the moment, but I always treat other people's pets as if they were my own and with respect. If they want attention, they get it. If they want to be left alone, they will be left alone (within reason). Any instructions regarding feeding and medicine will be followed strictly.
“Kacy is fabulous! We had a meet and greet prior to booking and felt so comfortable with her friendly and positive energy. She is such an animal lover. She took care of our babies by house sitting while we were away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates a day, and really put our minds at ease. We are so so so thankful. We had no doubt that they were in such caring hands! Highly recommend!”
“Adriannne was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and our home, while we were away for a week on a trip. She followed all of our instructions for care. She was reliable and communicated quickly and frequently with us before and during our trip. We have a cat and three dogs, including a high-energy 110 pound lab, and Adrianne took great care of all of them. Adrianne demonstrated that she has the expertise and experience with how to manage a variety of pets and dog breeds and personalities. We returned to a very clean home and very happy and healthy pets. We will definitely reach out to Adrianne again next time we take a trip.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since I was little, and absolutely adore them! I love being with cats and dogs of any kind. I’ve watched my sister’s two dogs while she went on trips, and cat sat for my neighbor a few times as well! Because I am a handicapped person, I rely on transportation, which is why weekends would work best for any kind of pet care. I’m around pets 24/7, so I have my very own daily routine! I have a husky that, unfortunately, will run. Because of this, I put her on a little runner and watch her outside every second she’s out there. I also measure how much food my cats get every night and evening, and give my german shepherd his over the counter joint treats everyday!
“Alex did a wonderful job in working with Ron, our rescue that we took home 6 months ago. Ron is 7 with a few idiosyncrasies from his previous life but we love him and Alex bonded with him quickly and successfully.”
“Total peace of mind! It’s hard to find someone you trust with your home and your pets, but Samantha exceeded all expectations. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve been taking care of my family’s and neighbors’ pets since I was 15, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I currently own a cat, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and respecting each pet’s individual personality. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and relaxed, I take the time to meet their needs and make them comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize safety, communication, and reliability. I’d love the chance to help care for your furry family member! I’m available for evening care on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m able to check in on pets multiple times throughout the day, depending on their needs. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they’re well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I believe owners know their pets best, so I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walking, medications, routines, and house rules. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs to make sure they feel secure and cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
About: I’ve worked at Fox creek Veterinary Hospital for the past 6 months, and i love animals more than anything! I am equipped to handle all different sized dogs from 5-100 lbs! I work at a pet boarding and doggie daycare facility at a veterinary hospital so even when i’m working i can care for your animals needs! My job has 3 large fenced in yards that your dogs can run around and be free in. I can easily crate your fur babies if needed!
About: I’m open to any animals! I grew up in Indiana taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, sheep, chickens, reptiles, and I find love for all creatures big and small. I work in healthcare and have a need to care for others so let me know how I can help you! I work from 3-11pm but have days off during the week and weekends. I’m flexible during the day and can work with weird schedules. Let me know how I can help. I’ve house sat many times for pets with special needs. I’m aware a common problem with dogs is separation anxiety, even just during work hours! Any special medical needs for your animals or play/exercise needs just send a message.
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Lisa took such good care of our two dogs while we were gone for 5 days. She sent the right amount of pictures and updates, left the house super clean and even had to deal with unexpected snow. She went above and beyond as a dog sitter and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Lisa!!”
“Tyler is absolutely amazing !!!! She has great communication skills, very nice, and polite. She sends me pix of my princess all the time. She also doesn’t just feed her and take her out. She spends time with her, plays with her and gives her lots of cuddles as my Galaxy loves. As always thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. And Galaxy sends you kisses !!!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gray Summit
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,458 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gray Summit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gray Summit walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gray Summit maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Gray Summit 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!
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.
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 .
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.
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
