“I love that Aimee came for a very thorough "meet n greet". Aimee was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. She always got back to me as soon as I texted her. Thank you Aimee for allowing me to feel as ease right away with leaving our babies. Overall positive experience. Thank you.”

About: Hello, I'm Madison! I am an experienced, reliable, and caring petsitter who cannot wait to meet your furry friends! Growing up, I had cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, rabbits, and birds. This has given me experience with all types of animals and grown my passion for working with them. I am very flexible with my schedule, and will follow any and all routines your pets may have. Have peace of mind when leaving, whether that be for work or for a long vacation, cause I will treat your pets as if they are my own!

If in my home, it would contain two of the sweetest cats that you can ever meet. They have experience around dogs, cats, and children, and are great around all. I have a safe environment where all pets can be themselves and feel comfortable in. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friends!
“Des was awesome! Copper the Dog and Princess Leia loved her! She was extremely friendly and kept the lines of communication open. During the stay she provided pictures and videos of the dogs. She stayed at my home and left it clean when she left. There were a couple of changes and challenges (not her fault at all) during the stay, but she rolled with the punches and was very flexible. Definitely utilize her professional services. She even left a friendly note after she left. 😃”

I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare.

“Annalise was great! She came to meet our dogs before our in house sitting and they instantly loved her! She followed all our pet care instructions and even cleaned up after herself before she left. We look forward to booking her again!”
About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
About: Since I could walk, I’ve had animals in my life. I’ve helped care for animals of all kinds ranging from fish, cats and dogs to chickens and horses! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am currently off work and have open availability to take care of your furry friend(s)! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I will get back to you ASAP! Currently, I have 3 cats, a Chihuahua and a 30 gallon fish tank. As far as my cats go, I feed them canned food and have dry food out regularly. They have yearly vet visits and I keep them up-to-date on boosters. My cats are enriched with cuddles, playtime and scratchers in multiple places throughout my place. They love to be brushed often as well. My dog, Butterball, has his nails filed as often as needed and he loves cuddles under the blanket while watching tv. He goes outside on a lead multiple times a day. My fish tank is cleaned and maintained biweekly. I also always have spring water on hand to keep water levels appropriate.
About: I have always love all kinds of animals since I was little. Im hoping to get my some soon when I get my own place. A lot of people always told me that I'm an animal whisper because a lot of animals really trust me more than others. Owners have told me how amazing it is to see their fur babies trust me and let them pet them when they normally don't let anyone pet them. I am currently looking for a part time job right now. As I am a Caregiver working through the weekdays. I am sure we can talk more about the days and times that work for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your amazing animal! I have a fenced yard, and two cats that will make sure your animals have companionship! In this house we spoil our animals and your animals equally with lots of treats, cuddles, and playtime!
“Iris is truly the best! She watched Lola while I was away for my wedding weekend. I had a million things to stress about but I was so grateful I didn't have to worry about Lola at all because I knew she was in the best hands. Wouldn’t have trusted Lola with anyone else for such an important day. Thank you Iris!!”
About: I’ve recently started to pet sit/house sit for my friends and their families for the past year. That pool of friends/family has continued to grow because of my attention to detail, eagerness, and flexibility to what you and your pet need! :) I am a teacher, so while I am gone most of the day, my early morning and entire evening can be dedicated to making sure your pet is getting what they need! When I am pet sitting, I make sure to place that commitment over other things to make sure your pet’s needs are being met! I am willing/able to maintain any routine you currently have with your pet! I am also known to clean and remake the bed before I leave, as well as throw in other additional cleaning. Gotta leave spaces better than you found them! ;)

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Summit
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 493 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount 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 Mount 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 Mount 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 Mount 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mount Summit. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
