“I highly recommend Lauren for overnight pet care. She is reliable and great with my dogs. They lived all her attention and extra walks. She is communicative and her updates/pics are comforting to homesick pet owners!”
“We are so glad we found Jamie! She followed our guidelines to a T and took the time to let our dogs get comfortable with her during the meet and greet so they would feel secure. She also sent the sweetest pics of our pups while we were away which I really appreciated!”
“Dominique was the best! She was very attentive, communicative, and amenable to both our dogs and our needs. She left our house exactly how it was when she got here. From her updates, I could tell the dogs were well taken care of and loved on. I would absolutely book with her again and will definitely recommend her to my friends who are looking for sitters in the future.”
“Veronica is the sweetest dog sitter we've ever met. Our dog is in love with Veronica. She not just a dog lover, she is our dog's best friend. We are very happy with Veronica. She's the best!”
“Ava is a genuinely nice person who clearly loves dogs. She is reliable and very good with communication When she arrived she quickly bonded with both dogs. She sent updates and pictures during the day so that we did not worry at all when she was sitting our dogs. We will definitely have Ava on the top of our list for sitting in the future”
About: Since I was a child I have taken care of the family dog. They are like family to me. I have worked at a dog spa since May of 2025 so that I have experience on handling dogs. I can bathe your dogs and brush them but not groom them. I love animals like family. I also take care of my sister’s golden retriever when she’s away on trips. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays from 10am-6:15pm so on my work days I can house sit your pets, take them for walks and take care of them after work and my days off I’m available anytime. I have a cat at home who is spoiled. Every day she gets groomed, loved and cuddled with. She couldn’t be more happier. I even have a filtered water fountain for my car to drink out of I clean every two weeks. I enjoy cleaning her food bowl every morning and give her dental treats to make her gums and teeth healthy. When it comes to clients pets I’d do the same as if they were my own pet very loved and spoiled. When I had my family dog she was very loved and spoiled as well. Every day do walk her, brush her, feed her and cuddle with her making the happiest dog she can be. All animals I treat equally.
About: I have five years of experience providing dependable house and pet sitting for multiple families, including stays of up to three weeks at a time. I understand how important it is to know that both your pets and your home are in good hands while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even a ferret! I provide loving, attentive care to every furry friend, while also taking care of household needs like watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their families peace of mind. After a career as an engineer and geologist with the State of California, I’m happily retired and enjoying a flexible schedule. When I’m not fan-girling over rocks or spending time at the bowling alley, I’m probably fan-girling over someone’s furry friend! Retirement gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care, and I can accommodate most schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own pets.
“Ashleigh took very good care of our dog and cat. We really appreciate her daily update, photos of our babies and thoughtful card. We will definitely ask her for help again. Thanks Ashleigh!”
About: Hi there! I’m Bella, a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Born and raised in Sonoma County, I also spent six years living on my family’s ranch, which deepened my love for animals. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, chickens, and pigs. I’m especially familiar with active breeds and have experience with leash-reactive dogs, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight stays, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’ve also provided pet care through other platforms and know how important it is to have someone reliable, attentive, and communicative. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, daytime care, and overnight pet sitting in your home. My goal is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I’d love to learn more about your animals and how I can help! Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule around each client’s needs. I plan my days to make sure pets get consistent walks, playtime, and attention, and I treat their care as a priority, not an afterthought. Whether it’s stopping by for visits, staying overnight, or spending extra time for companionship, I build my week around providing dependable care and keeping pets happy and comfortable. When staying in your home, I care for your pets in their own comfortable and familiar space. I follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, while keeping your home tidy and secure. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free, and I provide regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I began pet (and house) sitting for others at the age of 15 and have continued on and off for the last 25 years. Many close friends have pets I watch regularly, from seniors to puppies/kittens, big to small, rescues and designer alike. I've had pets of my own for most of my life. We got our first puppy when I was nine years old - a yellow lab / Collie mix who I wanted to name Skunk due to the white stripe down his forehead. But the family prevailed with the name Buddy (and I later agreed it fit him perfectly). Buddy lived 16 long years and taught me everything a young person needs to learn... responsibility, compassion, unconditional love, and eventually letting go. We still remember his toothy grin whenever he was caught being naughty. In my mid-20’s we rescued a tiny kitten from the streets while living overseas. After that first can of tuna on a rainy night, Nuni became family and gave us joy and companionship for 10 years across two continents and several big cities, ultimately settling down with me in Sonoma county for her last chapter. Her head-butt nuzzles were the best. Four years ago a human came into my life along with her canine companion, Atlas. I began caring for Atlas on weekends when his (human) mom was away and we bonded quickly. Towards the end of his life, I was his nearly full-time caregiver, administering multiple medications, cleaning up accidents, tailoring walks and playtime to his worsening arthritis, and doing all the things in between to give him a good quality of life. I'll treat your pets with as much love and attention as if they were my own. I work part-time doing handywork and gardening while also restoring our older home, so I have flexible time in between to spend on pet care. I'm a detail-oriented person and am happy to follow specific plans for your pets' needs. Generally, I enjoy spending time with animals and look to engage in activities that fits each individual. Safety is always top priority and I try to be prepared as best as possible.
“Ashley was amazing. Took such great care of our dogs. They loved hanging out with her and she sent us lots of pictures. She is so professional kind and loves dogs. Can’t wait to have her back again.”
“We cannot recommend Mia highly enough! Entrusting someone with your home and your beloved pets is always a leap of faith, but from the moment Mia stepped in to care for Sazerac and Flora, all of our worries completely vanished. She is truly a phenomenal sitter who goes above and beyond in every possible way. First and foremost, Mia’s communication was absolutely stellar. While we were away on our vacation, she provided us with frequent, detailed updates and adorable photos. It gave us such incredible peace of mind knowing exactly how our dogs were doing, what they were up to, and seeing firsthand that they were so happy and well cared for. We never once had to wonder or worry; Mia kept us perfectly in the loop. Her timeliness and reliability were also impeccable. She stuck to our schedule perfectly, ensuring that both Sazerac and Flora maintained their usual routines without missing a beat. It is rare to find someone who pays such close attention to all the special details—from their specific feeding quirks to their favorite playtime activities, she handled everything with exceptional care and affection. To top it all off, we returned from our trip to an incredibly spotless home. Mia’s cleanliness and respect for our space were deeply appreciated. It felt like she left the house even better than we left it! If you are looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring person to watch your furry family members, Mia is the absolute best choice. Sazerac and Flora are already looking forward to her next visit!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats & other pets since I was a teenager. I can also take care of other pets if necessary. Thanks! I am very flexible with my availability. Being outside with nature is necessary for my well being so pet care is second nature to me. I will take great care of your fur bbs in your home. I will give them pets, snuggles, food & play with them! I will be present with your pets while you are away to ease their separation anxiety & make sure they have the proper care.
“She was absolutely fabulous. One of my dogs is very nervous with new situation to new people. She knew exactly how to work with him and within 24 hours he was licking her hand! She took care of the house well and more importantly she knew exactly how to care for the pets. And she sent me lots of pictures and updates. Great housesitter and sensitive pet sitter!”
“Sheila was our absolute hero and stepped into care for our lovely little senior dog after a last minute cancellation from another sitter. She was wonderful. She sent daily updates about our pup and took great care of her and our home. I appreciated her open communication and ease and would 100% book with her again.”
“Zdenka took great care of my babies for a whole week! This was my first time using this service and having a stranger look after my two dogs. At first I was very worried since my dogs had never been away from me with a stranger. Zdenka was AMAZING though! She sent me photos, videos, updates everyday. Upon my arrival my babies were happy and my house was exactly the same way I left her with. I highly recommend her and I am so happy I found someone trustworthy to take care of my babies for any future trips. Will be using her services again!”
“Nikki was wonderful! I needed last minute care for my two pups, and she made time to stop by and meet us first. I ended up having to return home a day early for work and Nikki was understanding. She took great care of both the dogs and our home. We’ll definitely book with her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Summerhome Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 670 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summerhome Park. 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 Summerhome Park 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 Summerhome Park 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 Summerhome Park 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.
