“Betty was wonderful! Bo enjoyed taking long walks with her, we got updates and pictures each day and our pets were happy when we returned. Our house was clean and well cared for, and she even washed our sheets and towels. Betty handled everything we asked of her without complaint. We will use her again! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and feel comfortable caring for pups with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Spending time with dogs has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and understanding of their body language. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, practicing routines, or simply relaxing together, I enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a recently graduated 18 year old, with too much free time! I have always had a passion for animals, and honestly couldn't think of a better time passer than helping people and their animals! I care for every single pet differently, different animals have different needs and every one should be cared for in their own way. For example, if a dog is older they may not be able to go on as long of a walk as a younger puppy.
“Sommer was very dependable and detail oriented which was important to me! She also provided excellent communication and quick response time when communicating!! My cat is usually depressed, stressed, and distances himself from us when we return from vacationing. It usually takes him several days to warm back up to us but he was not that way at all this time!! I would give Sommer 10 stars if it was an option.”
“Michelle was absolutely excellent with our two dogs while we were gone. She was very patient with our special needs dog and took great care ensuring they were comfortable. She sent pictures and updates each day.”
“Nikima did an amazing job while I was gone for 5 days. She sent a lot of pictures and activie reports through her stay with my pup. Bae loves her for sure. She was great about walking and feeding and giving him his meds. She even went above and beyond and swept the house and made sure everything was neat for my return. Looking forward to booking again for my next trip.”
“We could not be more pleased with the care Adoni provided for our 3-year old dog and our 6 cats while we were away for 4 days. She came to our house in advance for a meet & greet, at which time she showed great interest in each of our pets, reviewed the care plans, and asked excellent questions. As requested, she stayed in our home overnight and at least most of the time during the day. She was totally trustworthy, reliable and professional. Adoni consistently went above and beyond in her constant attention to the safety and wellbeing of all our pets. She followed instructions, including medication administration, with precision. Adoni was kind, loving and patient with all our pets; we could tell that she genuinely enjoyed being with them, and they were all clearly very comfortable with her. Adoni always responded quickly to messages. She was consistently communicative, regularly messaging with updates and photos of each pet. She asked questions as needed. All that allowed us to relax while we were away. She left our house clean and tidy. It was so good to leave our pets in safe and experienced hands. We highly recommend Adoni (10/10) and will not hesitate to request her services in the future!”
“Martha was fantastic with Gus and Stella! Her daily updates were our favorite part of being away, and the photos made it so clear how much our pups loved her. She took wonderful care of our dogs and left our home absolutely immaculate. We can’t recommend her enough and can’t wait to book her again. Knowing our pups are in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind when we travel!”
About: I’ve been petting sitting since I was 13 from walking my neighbors dog while they were away for the day to feeding my best friends snake when she went on a 2 week vacation. There aren’t many animals I dislike and always open to taking care of new animals. I currently work in retail with a varying schedule but always off by 6 pm and every other weekend off. Most days I am in a 9-5 role but there are a few days that I open at 6 am. I am open to dog walking, house sitting at home or dropping in multiple times a day. I have multiple cats. I feed them a both wet food and dry food, scoop their litter boxes at least once a day with a once a week clean. I live in a small place, while I am not able to board I will check on your animal multiples times if needed, make sure they get plenty of enrichment and loves.
About: As a dog owner, I know how stressful it can be finding someone to help care for your animals while you’re at work, on vacation, or you just need a little extra help. I’ve had dogs of many breeds and sizes, lots of cats, and guinea pig, so I’m very familiar with those feelings and concerns. I’ve always loved being around animals, playing with them, and caring for them. During the pandemic, I taught myself how to train my dog Gus, and while I’m not certified trainer, I am familiar with all of the basic commands and am comfortable using them if your dog knows certain ones. I’m used to being around animals of all energy levels and personalities, so if your pet is high energy and needs lots of love and attention, you have a senior pet that likes to take things slow, or your pet is somewhere in between, rest assured that they will get the care they need and deserve! I currently have one dog, a Plott Hound named Gus, who loves walks, play time, and snacks. I love taking pictures of my dog, so you will get tons of pictures, videos, and updates about your pets too! I am a small business owner, so my schedule is usually pretty flexible. I own a bookstore that I manage full time, so some days during the week I would only be available early morning or after 6:30pm, but 3-4 days every week I am completely free! While I wouldn’t be able to bring your pets to my apartment, I would make sure they get all the care and love they need in the comfort of their home, whether that’s through walks, potty breaks, play time, snuggles, or feeding. Each animal will be treated just like my own.
About: I am a pet sitter with a flexible schedule and have experience volunteering at a pet shelter. I would love to learn more about different breeds and unique and better ways to care for them I can do pet care daily morning or night. I live along with my mom so your pet will be supervised all hours of the day. I do not do boarding due to me living at a college dorm. Dropping in on a clients home I will be very careful of my surroundings and kindly approach your pet with grace and patience.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 8. Ive had a pet dog and I currently take care of my pet turtle which I’ve had since I was 5. Ive walked plenty of dogs so I’m used to being around them. I’m working a part time job right now so I have all the time in the world. I also take care of my turtle everyday so taking good care of other animals would be perfect for me and my schedule because it gives me something to do. I live in a very family friendly community so you don’t have to worry about your dogs safety and there is also lots of other people walking their dogs as well so i would fit right in walking other dogs
“Amazing experience having Samira house and pet sit! My dogs loved her right away and I was able to travel knowing everything was well looked after! Samira sent regular updates and pictures. Communication was great. I could not have asked for a better experience and will hope to have Samira come again next time we need pet sitting!”
“Erika did a fantastic job with our girls! They bonded with her almost immediately. This was our 2nd time using Erika and we plan to continue using her services anytime we need a sitter in our home. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She is trustworthy and dependable.”
About: I’m a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and believes they deserve the same patience, care, and affection they receive from their own family. I was raised around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Being around dogs from a young age has taught me how to be patient with different personalities, recognize when a pet may be uncomfortable or need extra attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re someone’s family, and I treat them that way. Pet sitting is currently a part-time job for me, as I do have another job. I’ll primarily be available on weekends, but as I build my clientele, I hope to expand my availability and offer more flexible dates, including Sunday evenings and additional days for repeat clients. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! I’m open to providing a variety of pet care services, including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. While I’m unable to board pets in my own home because I have my own pet, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your house rules and your pet’s routine, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while making sure their food, water, medications, potty breaks, and other needs are handled according to your instructions. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

The average cost of House Sitting in Summerfield is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $65 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 Summerfield 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 Summerfield 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 Summerfield 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
