About: While every pet sitter is great and have great qualities, there is something that set each of us apart but also make us very alike. We all have a love for animals. What is unique about me, is that this is my personal opportunity to be around more animals than I myself can have. It is my pleasure to keep your beloved pets safe and happy. This is a part of me that I want to embrace in life. There’s no bad dogs in my book! I can be very attentive to your dog’s needs, whether they need more exercise or if they’re in need of a potty break. I have loved dogs all my life so you can be sure your dog is in great hands! I recently moved here from Gulfport and I am seeking to continue dog sitting as I did before. I look forward to meeting new faces. I can care for your pets in my home by giving them attention and love. They will be able to freely roam the house and the yard when leashed. I also offer free baths if you’d like for your pup to go home smelling fresh! 🚿 I work part time elsewhere until I can make this full time. Some weekends I’m busy with family, but when I have nothing going on I’m able to provide pet care. I have a two dogs of my own that will get to spend time with your pups. I have a great amount of outdoor space for them to run around and play. When they’re inside I keep them company and make sure I’m watching what they do. They also get plenty of cuddles from me and my husband. I also watch that both your pups and my own are playing nice and aren’t getting too rough with each other. As for care in your home, I make sure everything is left where it was last seen so nothing is missed. I make sure their area is left clean before leaving and nothing they shouldn’t have is around.

“I can’t recommend Debra enough! She stayed overnight with our dogs for several nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, her communication was wonderful. She made scheduling easy, kept us updated throughout our trip, and sent plenty of photos and messages so we always knew our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond by taking them on lots of walks, spending so much time playing with them, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only being cared for but were genuinely having a great time while we were away. We’re so grateful for everything Debra did and will absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, reliable, communicative, and truly cares about your pets, I highly recommend Debra!”

About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since before I can remember, family and family friends relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and petsit their dogs knowing I loved it! I’ve worked with all size dogs and all personalities! I’m currently a college student so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have classes for 2 hours out of the day on weekdays but open availability after 12pm and I’m completely free on weekends! I prefer to care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar environment. I stick closely to your pets usual routine so everything feels normal while you’re away! I will make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise! I also will send regular updates and photos if wanted! My overall goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy and loved!

About: I have cared for animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, horses, cows, you name it, since I was little on my grandparent’s farm. I can get along with them all, from high energy to couch nappers. Going on walks or runs is something I do often with my pit mix, so I welcome that as well! I am currently a senior at Troy and interning at a school. I am free on weekdays after school hours and some weekends. On weekends I am not in Troy, I will be around the Dothan area. With an extensive pet care background, I am big on doing whatever your pet feels comfortable with. I know personalities can vary, so I try to accommodate how I interact with them based on that.

One of my babies requires lots of medications and she was on top of everything. I have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter. Our babies were beyond happy when we got home and I can tell they were cared for so well!!!! You will not regret hiring Chelbi!!!!”

About: I have helped raise and train 4 dogs. I dog sit my parents golden retriever and Bernadoodle anytime they go out of town. I love all animals and would love to take care of them! I currently work the dinner shift at Oso in orange beach. I typically only work 3-9/10 and would be available anytime during the day and can even stop by after I get off for a night walk and treats. I live in an apartment so I am unable to bring in extra pets but can easily adapt to your pets routine in your home.

About: I had a dog for over 10 years and I used to pet sit all my neighbors animals growing up! I would love to own a pet right now but I want to be settled before I do! That’s why I’d love to take care of your cats or dogs! I love nature and trails and they would be exceptionally more fun if I had a buddy with me! Since I owned a dog who had multiple surgeries, I’m more than suitable to take care of any special needs your dog may have! I currently work from 7-3:30 so I have the whole morning and afternoon to take care of your pets :) The weekends I should be even more free! I live an apartment that has a doggy park. It has lots of green areas to walk around and play in. It’s a pretty family friendly neighborhood.

About: Hi! I’m Chandler, a fur mom to 4 (3 cats, one dog) and a full-time nanny to kiddos I adore. I find myself with free time/a very flexible schedule and love meeting new pets by utilizing Rover :) I have 5+ years experience in dog sitting, and a lifetime spent with kitties. Can’t wait to hear from you and your fur babies! I am available most weekends unless otherwise stated! I do work full-time during the week, so my schedule is busy, but just send in a request and we’ll see if I can make it work for you and your babies! I’m an avid list-maker myself, so I love when pet parents leave me a list of all their babies wants & needs for me to refer to every trip!

“Shelby was great with our fur babies, she is an excellent pet/house sitter. We were gone for 5 days and she texted & sent pictures am/pm. We had great peace of mind knowing that Mia and O'lover were in good hands. In fact, when we arrived home my kids looked a little disappointed it was us and not Shelby...lol. Thanks Shelby for loving up our kiddos.”

About: Hi! I’m Reina! I’m a stay at home mom who absolutely loves animals, & I’d love to help take care of your fur babies while you’re away.🤍 I’m a very attentive & patient pet sitter, & I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, personalities, & energy levels, & I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. From feeding schedules & walks to medication, cuddles, & plenty of playtime.🦮 Because I’m home most of the day, your pet can get lots of attention & supervision rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I also understand that every animal is different, so I’ll always take the time to learn what makes your pet comfortable & what they’re used to at home.🐩 I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m big on communication. I’ll send you updates & pictures so you can see how your baby is doing while you’re away! 📸🐾 Whether your pet needs someone to burn off some energy, a cozy place to relax, or just some extra love while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help.🤍🐕‍🦺 I’m home most of the day, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, & lots of love & cuddles. I’m also happy to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while they’re staying with me. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be cared for in a comfortable, home environment rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’ll follow your instructions closely & make sure they have regular potty breaks, fresh water, meals on their normal schedule, & plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send regular photo & message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Before a stay, I like to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, likes, dislikes, & anything else that will help them feel at home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Summerdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 533 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summerdale. 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 Summerdale 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 Summerdale 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 Summerdale 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Summerdale. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
