“I was very nervous about leaving my babies with somebody. They are not use to other people. Dena did excellent with them and me! She won them over and was very reassuring to me. She sent me pictures and kept me informed about how they were doing. She is the best!!”
About: 🤍 Hi! I am a college student that has a passion for animals and a love for the Earth. 🐾 I offer drop-in, housesitting, and dog walking. Let me know if you want plants watered, mail taken in & more! I want to be a help! 🌿 The ideal is that you and your pet are comfortable. Let me know if there are allergies, medications and triggers that your pet has. 📓 I am a college student, and my schedule is somewhat flexible! I generally have few classes and can work around them. I offer up to 2 drop-in visits a day. 🐾 I definitely want to meet your pet in the environment they feel safest in. Currently I offer housesitting as well as drop in visits. I also am careful to not overstep your pets’ boundaries!
“Bradishia was amazing!!! Our dogs loved her, she sent video and picture updates every day we were out of town. She left our house CLEANER than when we left it. She went above and beyond. Highly recommend her!”
“Charish was absolutely wonderful! She communicated consistently throughout the stay and took such great care of my pup. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, loved, and well cared for while I was away. I also came home to a clean house, which was such an added bonus. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brrrt and Luna loved having Bethany here with them! I appreciated all the pics and could see that they were being well cared for while I was gone. Came home to a clean house and tired dogs!”
“Jaci was amazing. Professional, courteous, kind, and was excellent in her communication. She took great care of my dog, and my dog clearly liked being with her and around her. I would highly recommend!”
About: Ive never went a day without having multiple dogs in my home. Always have had a soft spot for all Animals. I just want them to feel loved and be loved and have the best care. I am a full time college student who works a part time job and is fully available to watch dogs on any day of the week I have a fenced in yard where I play with both of my dogs and then every day we always play together and make sure they see as much love as possible
“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“Laura’s care of Paden and Rika was outstanding! They were happy and relaxed when we arrived last night. She communicated with us throughout our trip to assure all was well here at home including daily photos! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a caretaker for their pets and home.”
“This is the 2nd time Audra has watched our dogs in our home. The dogs love having her here and it’s a relief that someone is home with them while we are away! We will definitely be asking Audra to house/pet sit again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals! And all my life I’ve always done something with them. Whether it be in boarding and daycare facilities-grooming-mobile grooming-volunteering at shelters all of it! I do have a job! But i always find times to care for those who trust me enough to give it. I’ve been doing this for many years so finding a just right schedule has been easier to manage! I personally like to schedule meet and greets before any overnight stay,dog walking,check ins ! Bevause that levels a ground of calmness and knowledge for the pet rather then showing up out of the blue. I always follow strict feeding protocols and make sure to communicate with the owners about how they expect things to be done for there furry friends.
“Loved getting the pictures and updates. Courtney was great with Hailey and even was able to get her eye drops in (my girl can be a bit feisty lol). Looking forward to having her stay again!”
About: What sets me apart is the vast experience I've gained from caring for a wide range of dogs, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve successfully handled the responsibility of caring for 6+ dogs at once, demonstrating my ability to manage multiple pets with different needs and personalities. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work part-time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your pets. With pets of my own at home, I'm already accustomed to daily pet care, ensuring that your pets will receive the attention and love they need. In my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment for pets by providing plenty of space to play, rest, and explore. I follow each pet's routine closely, ensuring they get the proper exercise, meals, and attention. For my clients' homes, I make sure to respect their space while offering the same level of care, following their instructions closely, whether it's feeding, walking, or giving medication. I keep pets entertained, comfortable, and secure, ensuring they feel at home, whether it's in their own space or mine.
“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“i will definitely recommend and use Ryan again, he took great care of my dogs, he took detail on what their schedules and needs, my dogs where well taken care of, Ryan was a great help while i was on vacation! 5 stars!”
“Jay was a great sitter to my fur babies! I booked last minute and for a holiday weekend. Jay was super easy going and took good care of my crazy puppy and my cat. He was easy to communicate with. Both animals were happy and content when I got home. The apartment was clean. I would definitely book Jay again.”
“This was the second time we hired Ben to watch our pups. Once again, we were very pleased with how our pups were cared for. Ben was communicative while we were away, and our home was clean and tidy when we returned.”
About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.

FAQs for House Sitting - Summer City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 244 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summer City. 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 Summer City 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 Summer City 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 Summer City 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.

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.
