About: I have been taking care of and pet sitting animals, whether it be my own, my family’s or friends basically my whole life. More recently, I have been involved with The Seeing Eye since 2018, as a puppy sitter as well as a volunteer Puppy Raiser, and I have been bathing and grooming dogs professionally since early 2021, working with little puppies for their first grooms all the way up to senior dogs who need a little more love and patience during the grooming process. I have several years of experience working with puppies on basic obedience, and potty training. In addition, I have a 6 year old german shepherd who I have raised and trained myself who I love with my whole heart. I currently work 5 days a week as a groomer, however my schedule can be flexible. I am available most nights after 6 pm and all day Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I do not pet sit in my own home, as I live in a small apartment. However, I would be more than happy to stay over a clients home if needed!
“V was fantastic. She came over to meet our two dogs before our scheduled visit and both dogs immediately loved her. It’s clear she’s a dog lover! We will absolutely be reaching out again in the future”
About: I’ve been pet sitting dogs and cats for years, and both my husband and I grew up with pets. We truly love being around animals, it genuinely makes us happy. We care for pets together, which means extra attention, calm energy, and lots of love in our home. I also have guinea pigs now, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. We treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine. My husband cares for pets with me, and he works from home while I work nearby as a nanny, so one of us is always home. This makes it easy for us to keep dogs on their normal schedule, give them attention throughout the day, and make sure they’re never left alone for long. I take safety and comfort seriously, and my husband and I work together to create a calm, tidy environment where pets can relax and feel secure. We follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, feeding times, walks, sleep habits, and any special instructions, and we always pay attention to how a pet is feeling so we can adjust as needed. We make sure doors are secured, no unsafe items are accessible, and pets are supervised throughout their stay. With my background in nannying, our experience pet sitting, and both of us being naturally observant and responsible, we’re very careful with every detail. Our goal is for every pet to feel safe, cared for, and genuinely loved while they’re with us.
“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”
About: Hi! My name is Ava, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have volunteered with local animal shelters, adopted and trained three dogs of my own, and fostered multiple dogs over the years. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable working with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience administering a variety of medications and understand the importance of following care instructions closely to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply a reliable companion, I would love the opportunity to care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you're apart. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!!! I am currently working part-time so I am pretty open for all your pet needs! I enjoy adding walking into my routine and would love to have company!! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and any special needs or preferences.
“Anthony is very punctual, polite and handles my dog with confidence and experience which makes me feel comfortable. My dog is large and can be a challenge but it does not intimidate Anthony. I would definitely recommend him.”
“Katie was amazing with Smudge! She sent tons of great pics and really took the time to hang with him, not just a quick drop-in. Smudge is a total goofball, and she totally got his vibe. He looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease while we were gone. Katie has a super warm and friendly presence, and we felt completely confident leaving our guy in her care. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and cats for many years since they are travelers. I dog sat my sisters cocker spaniel for a few months as well. I myself own a black lab and have experience with dogs and all their needs. I love pets so so much and know how important they are to their owners. Here to help with whatever you need! Free anytime up until September 28th. Can work a schedule any day of the week and any hour of the day. Will be leaving abroad at end of September. My doggy Tilly is a well trained and friendly black lab. However I understand everyone cares for their pets differently. I am willing and wanting to adjust and learn any special ways or routines you and your pet have! But of course my Tilly like many dogs loves cuddles and a fair amount of treats! I love to walk in general and it’s even better with a friend. I will take dogs on small, medium, long walks. If they need to do business or just be outside I’m here!
“Kat is a true animal whisperer. She took excellent care of my two senior cats and even got my shy girl to come out of her favorite hiding spot for some cuddles. Trustworthy, reliable and communicative. I recommend her highly!”
About: I’m 26 and have lived with pets my entire life (4 dogs in total). I currently have my own cat that I’ve taken care of for the last three years, so I'm very used to the daily routine of feeding, litter boxes, and keeping a pet happy. Since I grew up with animals, I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all ages. I've pet-sat for multiple people in my complex, and I also have a good amount of experience handling basic medical needs. I give my own cat eye drops, and in the past, I've cleaned and wrapped wounds for an older senior dog. I know how stressful it is to leave your pets, so I'll make sure to follow your exact instructions during every visit. I work as a mental health counselor afternoons/evenings. I am available mornings up until 1 PM Wednesdays and Thursdays, morning to 12 PM on Mondays, and timing varies on Fridays though I typically am available after 7 PM. I treat other people's pets exactly like my own and watch them like a hawk to make sure they are safe. I follow the owner's exact instructions for feeding and routines, keep dogs on a leash outside, and lock up when I leave.
“Nicole did a fantastic job caring for our two cats (and our apartment) over the holidays! She was prompt and provided communicative updates. It’s easy to tell that she loves animals! Thanks Nicole!”
About: As a veterinary technician and proud dog mom of two Cavaliers, I understand how important it is to find someone reliable for your pets. With years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for animals, I make sure each dog or cat feels safe, happy, and cared for—just like they do at home When I’m not at the veterinary clinic, I love spending my extra time caring for pets in my community. With flexible availability during the week and weekends, I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure every walk is secure, every visit is calm, and every animal feels loved and cared for. With experience in a veterinary clinic and as a dog mom myself, I know how to create a safe and happy environment for every pet I meet.
“Katya did an amazing job with Rex, you can tell she really cares for the animals she’s taking care of. She even went above and beyond with a slight window incident lol. I would highly recommend her and plan to contact her in the future if I need help.”
About: Hi I’m Tara! I grew up my entire life with anywhere from 1-3 dogs and have a hard time not saying hello to every dog I pass on the sidewalk. While I do not have my own dog in NYC, I really miss spending time with animals and would love to get to know your pet! I live in an elevator and doorman building in a large 1 BR apartment with room for your pet to move around comfortably. I have quick access to the East River for nice walks or can travel up to Central Park or Bryant Park. I am true animal-lover and would be thrilled to help you out by providing a welcoming, fun, and comfortable place for your pet to stay. I am extremely responsible, responsive, friendly, caring, but most importantly will treat your pet like my own – giving them all my love, care, and attention. I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and can take your dog for multiple walks during the day! I have a spacious one bedroom apartment for your dog to play around in, I also live on a quiet residential street and can play all day long! Although I don’ t have a crate, I am happy to crate your dog if you’d like to bring one!

Shabazz was absolutely wonderful taking care of our cat while we were away! He was extremely reliable, followed all feeding and care instructions, and sent the cutest photo updates and detailed notes during every visit. Shabazz went above and beyond and i could tell my kitty was a happy kitty. I definitely recommend him and will book again!
Leigh is our go-to sitter. She takes wonderful care of our fur babies every time, leaves lots of pictures and helpful notes each day, and follows medication instructions for our cat with a thyroid condition to the letter. Leaving our pets in her care gives us complete peace of mind. We are grateful to have found her!
We were beyond pleased with the service (and so was our kitty). Stephanie came through for us at the last minute on top of that as well. Everything was kept neat and clean, and although our cat is not the most social kitty, she did not seem at all upset by the presence of a new person in our home and everything stayed right on schedule for her. I could not recommend Stephanie enough and we will definitely use her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Summit on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,304 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Summit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Summit. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
