“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”
“Mary, was fantastic. I got daily updates with photos. Ms Cleo, Sami and Fiona were very well cared for and that makes going on vacation a little sweeter knowing that they were in great hands with Mary. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs, she was able to make sure Ms Cleo took her twice daily meds.”

“Pups were in perfect when we arrived home! We had Alora for 24/7 care in our home 4 dogs including 2 Giants and 2 Beagles. All 4 were well taken care of. Alora was fantastic on updates; she wasn’t afraid to ask questions and we are overall happy and most importantly pups appeared happy! We will be calling her again!”
“Joanna was amazing! My typically shy dog loved her immediately which made it easier for this nervous momma leave without worrying. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Our pup is 120lb Boerboel and Maddison was excellent with him. We had newly adopted him and only had him 4 weeks when we needed a sitter. She had experience with giant breeds which was a great match for us. He was nervous and scared of her at first, but she was patient and thoughtful with him. By the end of the week, they were having a great time. She sent tons of pictures and was excellent with communication! We will definitely be requesting her again.”
“Thank you so much for watching over our babies. I felt super comfortable since we did do a meet and greet before the actual babysitting. She sent pictures every day and we really did feel like they were in great hands. Will definitely book again.❤️🙏🏼”
About: I am a person who has loved animals since the day I was born. I have a large home, a fenced in backyard, and I’m at home usually all day long to take care of your pet. I love to read a book with an animal on my lap or at my side. My husband works from home part time and he is also seen frequently with an animal beside him. And I have a 20 year old daughter at home who adores animals. My grand children are also frequent visitors and they love to play with animals. We are a home filled with people who love all animals. I am a stay at home mom and grandma. So I have plenty of time to give love and care to your pets. I am very organized and like to make sure that my animals eat at the same time. I love to just sit on the couch and read a book while petting an animal. My two dogs are always at my feet following me around and I’m sure your sweet pet would fit right in. My grown-up daughter lives at home and my grandbabies are here frequently and all of us love animals. My husband works from home part time and has also been seen to have an animal by his side. We are an absolute animal loving family. I have two small dogs so your fur baby would have friends to play with. I have an absolutely secure, fenced backyard and I have a kennel inside that they can be crated in for night if that’s what they are used to. I’m also experienced in administration of medications to both cats and dogs including pills, creams, eye drops and shots. I am here to accommodate your pet’s needs, including special routines or schedules they may have if possible. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs or cats.
“Kai was great with Hobbes. He's a senior and was patient with him and his bad knees. Also Kai was patient with him as he started getting little annoyed we were gone for so long 🤣. All in all we couldn't reccomend Kai more.”
“Oliver was awesome! We really appreciate him watching our 3 boys. Our boys can be and handful and Oliver made sure that all their needs were met. Can’t wait to book with him again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was little and have experience with dogs, cats, and birds. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets, and I take pride in providing attentive and loving care. I enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I’m in school and get out around noon, and I work part-time on weekends. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care—they’ll be happy, safe, and well-looked after while you’re away. Safety and trust come first. I’m clean, organized, and respectful of your home—you’ll come back to it just as you left it. Your dogs will get plenty of exercise on walks and lots of attention and affection while staying comfortable and happy at home.
About: I have grown up with small, medium, and big dogs. I volunteer at the humane society, and have sitted for neighbors and family many times. Have washed many dogs before I’m currently only working the weekends in the afternoon, so weekdays and even early in the morning for weekends I’m available to take care of your pup I walk my dog daily, wash him frequently, and trim his nails frequently as well. So your dog deserves the same great treatment I give mine
About: Providing expert, high-level care for pets with complex needs. Whether your companion is senior, disabled, exotic, requires daily medication, or needs cautious handling for behavioral traits, I offer safe, knowledgeable, and dedicated care. A pet fits smoothly into my weekly schedule. Although I work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, I wake up early for morning routines and am fully free after 5:00 PM for evening care. My job is extremely flexible if an animal ever needs mid-day attention. Weekends are ideal, as I have full availability to provide attentive care all day and night. When pets enter an unfamiliar setting, I give them a quiet room to adjust at their own pace, maintaining their normal routine with periodic check-ins until they feel safe. In their home, I stick strictly to their schedule and give them space to relax. Every animal is different, so whether a pet is cuddly or standoffish, I respect their boundaries and offer love on their terms while keeping you updated on feeding, outside time, and behavior.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Summit is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
Amber/Ash was fantastic with my cats. She connected with them easily, kept their schedule, and was respectful and kind with all of us. They were clearly content and yet happy to see me when I returned. She was flexible when I decided to return a day earlier than planned and was responsive on the app when texting her. I'd have her back anytime!
Ash was amazing! She watched our pups for 10 days and everything went great! She kept us updated with pictures, made sure they stayed on their schedules, and made sure to give them all the love we would (plus some!) Ash kept our home tidy, cleaned up after herself, and made it look just as we left it! Our dogs absolutely adored Ash and we cannot wait to book her again for our next trip!
We left for a week long vacation and employed Joanna to pet/house sit for us. Our three girls took to Joanna right away, even our Chihuahua that takes a minute to warm up to new people. Joanna came over twice beforehand to meet with our girls so we could see that everybody was comfortable. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. When we returned, the house was in the same shape as it was when we left. The floors were vacuumed, swept and mopped. The dog poop was picked up and she washed the towels and sheets and her bed was made. I would highly recommend Joanna if you are looking for a superb pet/house sitter. We will definitely ask her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Summit is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $41 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,000 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summit. 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 Summit 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 Summit 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 Summit 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.
