“Every single one of the reviews on Betty are true, she is such an amazing person and sitter. She took care of our three dogs for three nights and did a wonderful job. She provided updates and photos multiple times a day and actually got our high anxiety dog to eat his meals when we were gone, which was something that we have had trouble with in the past. Once you meet Betty you will know that you picked the right sitter. She is now part of the family and our dogs have already told us to go on another vacation so that Betty can come back over!”
“Morgan is always great with our pups! The pups are always excited to see her and get plenty of play and exercise time while she's with them. You can tell Morgan really cares about them. Will continue booking with Morgan!”
“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.”
“An amazing sitter. I would recommend her to pet sit more. For a beginner, she's sweet and understanding. And ask me questions about my dog and cat. Takes good pictures of my pets.”
About: Ive been around pets all my life! I started raising dogs when I was 11 and have helped friends and nieghbors with their dogs and cats since I was 15. Tasks have ranged from small check-ins with pets, to staying overnight to keep them company. Right now I work at a local food pantry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sundays are also a busy day for me, but I can be very flexible and move times around with enough notice. I have one black short haired cat that I spend most of my time with. She stays indoors, but I let her come out on my back deck to get some air and a better view of the birds and chipmunks she always has beef with. She's the most hyperactive and persnicity cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, so I'm experienced with cats who have their own ways of playing.
“Blanca was amazing! She was very attentive with my dogs and was very communicative with me! She was a lifesaver with a last minute cancellation and really put my mind at ease. My dogs loved her and she even worked on training while I was away. I am very appreciative for her!”
“Kendal did a great job with my babies!! They warmed up to her very quick. She sent plenty of pictures throughout the stay and was continuously responsive :) She left the house the same way I left it. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
About: Cat mom of 2, Jimmi is 25 and rescued from Fukushima Japan during my time volunteering with Japan Cat Network (he’s a bit of a celebrity and was featured on animal planet!), and Pixie is 3 years old. Every cat has their own unique “big personality” that compliments the home and add a little spunk to our lives! My dog Kylo is a rescue from Prince William county VA animal shelter and has been with me since 2018, he’s approximately 10 years old. I recently moved from northern VA and looking to get to know the community better. What better way than through meeting likeminded pet owners! I am currently looking for professional work and availability will be evenings and weekends, but for now I have quite a bit of flexibility to accommodate. I’m in a smoke free apartment with an extra bedroom, a nice dog park, and dog wash station available. I’m happy to also come to your home and follow your routines.
“Violet did an excellent job house‑sitting and caring for our Sadie while we were away. She was responsive, responsible, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We felt completely confident having her in our home and trusted her with our dog’s care.”
About: I am an animal lover to the max. I have been a pet sitter for some years now and have enjoyed it all from training young pets to caring for our more senior animals. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets and tend to their needs. I would be happy to bring your pet along with me in my day to day. I have an unfenced, private yard and a puppy to keep your pets company. I can crate your dog if needed, and I have ample space to give them whatever space they need to feel comfortable.
About: Dependable and attentive care with plenty of walks, play, cuddles. I am patient and experienced with shy pets, energetic puppies, and senior dogs alike. I also have experience with friendly or timid cats. I build my schedule around what each pet needs. I’m very flexible, and I’m able to adjust my availability depending on your timing — whether that means early mornings, evenings, or extended overnight stays. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and easy to work with, and I treat both customer care and pet care as equally important. Making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved is always my priority, and I’m happy to tailor my routine to match theirs so everything feels seamless for you. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping a safe, clean, and comfortable environment that feels consistent and reassuring for the pet. I follow the routines and instructions you provide closely, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications are handled exactly the way your pet is used to. I keep the space tidy, clean up after the pets right away, and always respect your home as if it were my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and easy to work with, and I make sure you always know how your pet is doing through updates, photos, and check‑ins. My goal is to give your pet attentive, loving care while giving you complete peace of mind.
“I booked Sophia at the last minute because another Rover cancelled. She responded to my request quickly and we did a meet and greet the next day. She kept my two energetic aussies active with walks and playtime. She sent me photos and videos that gave me peace of mind while on our trip. We arrived home to a clean house and happy dogs. I plan to book her again.”
“This weekend was the first weekend I used a Rover sitter for my dog, Juno, and Vanessa was great! She gave me lots of updates and pictures. Juno has her quirks and Vanessa asked all the right questions that I hadn’t thought of and made me feel safe leaving Juno with her. I came home to a happy, tired dog!”
“Adoni was wonderful to work with. Our 3 pups warmed up to her right away and she kept us informed with pictures for our whole trip. Will definitely book with her again!”
“America is so thorough and thoughtful; everything anyone would want in a cat sitter. She is very communicative and sends detailed updates and photos. Most importantly, my kitties seem to love her!”
“Laurin was great! She stayed at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She was very communicative and sent several updates/photos while we were away; I never had to ask how things were going. She left our house neat and clean (and washed our bed sheets)! Our dogs are happy and seem like they had a great, stress-free weekend! We'll definitely be reaching out to Laurin again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Summerfield on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 907 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summerfield. 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 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 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 Summerfield. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
