“James did a great job caring for my dog and cat while I was away on vacation. He is very naturally comfortable with dogs. He sent us updates throughout our trip. We came home to a clean house and happy pets.”
“Pat took great care of our dog Finley over 4th of July weekend. We met up beforehand for a hike so he could get a sense of Finley on trail and see our house to go over everything. Loved all the picture updates while we were gone. Thanks, Pat!”
About: I've been a dog lover ever since I was a kid and there's no signs of it letting up. We have our own dog, watch our friend's pups frequently, and help out our neighbors when they need a little assistance. I currently have a dog so I've got a strong daily routine with her already. When we watch other dogs, they get added to the mix. We typically go out 3-4 times a day with one of those being a longer walk/hike/adventure. I work from home so am always at home with the pups and able to watch over them. Given my flexible work schedule, I am also available to take them out for walks or feedings whenever needed.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 12 years old for family members and neighbors, whether it was one day or two weeks. I have had a pet (or a few) since I was born and have loved animals my whole life. I understand how to take care of puppies and senior dogs, and will go above and beyond for all pet care! I am active and love to play with, exercise with, and hang out with animals. *I have recently begun classes in the evening and my availability has changed.* I am available for walking and check-ins especially in the mornings before 9am on weekdays, and occasionally throughout the day if I am not working that day! In the evenings I am available after 9:30pm. Saturdays and Sundays I am available all day. If provided enough time in advance for house sitting or boarding I can move my work schedule around to be available during the day and only be away for a few hours at night. I will always make sure your pup is well hydrated, gets fed on time, and gets plenty of attention, play, and exercise. I am familiar with the area and comfortable going to dog parks, trails, or regular walks along the road.
“Hayley was amazing! She stayed with our pup and took excellent care of him! Five stars all around! She sent lots of updates and communicates amazingly. We couldn’t be more thrilled with her service and attention to detail. Highly recommend and we will be using her service all the time in the future.”
“Alexa was great and able to step in last minute. Our dog can be a bit nervous with new people, but he did great with Alexa and we came home to a happy dog and a clean house.”
About: I have had dogs for a total of 23 years. I have experience with puppies and have trained my own dogs. I have the ability to give your dog the attention it wants and the exercise it needs. I spend a lot of time running the mountain trails and I am also in proximity to many other city parks, as well as dog parks. I will quickly befriend your dog to establish a comfortable, lasting relationship, which will help keep your dog healthier and happier. I am available for walks, runs, playing fetch, drop-ins, feedings and overnight stays. I know how deeply attached you are to your dog. Your pet will receive the same care I give mine, which should give you peace of mind. Pet care is my priority! For a fun and safe place for your pets while you're away, my home-based pet boarding features a large fenced-in yard for play, an ample indoor area for relaxation, and separate play areas both indoors and outdoors if needed. I welcome dogs of all types, sizes, ages, and consider special requests.

“Kirk did an excellent job watching our sweet senior dogs! He sent photos every day and our home looked immaculate when we returned. His professionalism and communication were outstanding. We can’t wait to use him again!”
About: I’ve been involved with various animal rescue organizations for more than 30 years and have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, needs, and medical conditions. I’ve fostered many animals over the years and have helped with adoptions, medical visits, home visits, shelter assessments, and fundraising and community events. I’ve also personally rescued and cared for animals with health issues and have extensive experience with dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, or specialized care. I’m very active and love having dogs join me in the fun. I hike, bike, ski, and paddleboard, and I’m always happy to have a furry companion along for an adventure. Of course, I’m equally happy spending a quiet day at home with a dog curled up on the couch getting plenty of love and extra snuggles. My two senior dogs recently passed away, and I truly miss having dogs in my home. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I would love the opportunity to give your dog the same attention, affection, and care I’ve given my own. I have a very flexible schedule that will allow me to accommodate your pet's needs. I like to adhere to a schedule your pet is accustomed to. My pets were all indoor dogs, well taken care of, and slightly spoiled. They had regular feeding, exercise, and medication schedules. I will adhere to your pet's regular schedule as much as possible.
“Rachel is amazing!!!! She took care of my 2 cats and puppy. Not only did she show them lots of love and attention but continued to reinforce the training schedule with my puppy which can be a lot of work! I also appreciate how she treated my home as she would her own! I would highly recommend her!!!”
About: I have always loved dogs and have 2 of my own! As a kid in middle school and high school I was the "neighborhood dog walker" and would help people who didn't have time to walk their dogs every day. Since then I have done check-ins, pet-sit at clients homes, and walk dogs throughout the day for over 5 years. I am a server at a local restaurant at night, which leaves my days wide open. I work 5 nights a week right now (sometimes less) and have plenty of time during the day to take care of your fur-babies! I am off on Tuesday's and Wednesday’s, which would allow me to do night-time check ins as well on those days. I am willing to do whatever my clients are comfortable with. I can walk dogs in your neighborhood, check in on dogs in your home, take dogs to the park, feed dogs, train puppies, and many more services. I have two dogs of my own who are super friendly and love to play! Greg is a rescue chihuahua mix and is 3 years old. Darla is a 4 month old Border Collie!
“I’ve used tawny 3 times now and as usual he did a great job. I know my pups and my home were in good hands and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality pet care.”
“Mark was amazing with our 3 dogs. We were very hesitant to leave them with someone we didn't know for a week and a half. But, Mark was so great to come over beforehand to meet us and meet the girls to make sure it was going to be a good fit for everyone. Mark was great with asking questions and making sure he understood our expectations before we left. While at our house, he did all the dogs' favorite things with them - long walks, runs, rides in the truck, snuggles on the couch. He kept us posted with pictures and videos and updates. When we got home, he had the house looking even better than we'd left it. We will definitely be looking to Mark first whenever we need someone to care for our girls.”
“Megan was fantastic with our pups. She took the time to get to know each of their habits and personalities. She sent pictures and updates each day. I felt very comfortable going out of town because they were safe and happy.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Silver Summit is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $80 per night.

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 Silver 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 Silver 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Silver 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 , 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 .
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 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.
