I highly recommend Gucci’s daycare sitter to anyone looking for dependable, professional, and loving pet care. As someone with a very busy schedule balancing work and school, having a sitter I can trust gives me tremendous peace of mind. Her communication is excellent—she keeps me updated consistently and sends pictures of Gucci throughout the day, which reassures me that he is safe, happy, and well cared for. It is very clear that Gucci is comfortable in her care because he never shows signs of anxiety when he returns home. In fact, he comes home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired from having such an active and enjoyable day. She is professional, attentive, trustworthy, and provides exceptional care at a very affordable rate. I truly feel that Gucci is in great hands whenever he is with her. I am beyond grateful to have found someone who treats my dog with such care and attention. Highly recommended!

About: Hi! I’m Hollie, I’m 25, and I have a ton of experience with animals of all kinds, I grew up with cats/dogs/turtles/birds pretty much any animal you can think of! All of my friends, family, neighbors come to me first for any type of sitting/walking. I’m comfortable with all breeds, I have 4 dogs, mainly big breeds (Alaskan malamute, husky, golden retriever, lab mix) but I love my small dogs too! I also have 4 cats who are my babies. I rescued all of my pets. I treat every animal as if it’s my own, even strays, you will never see me drive past a stray without trying to catch it. Most of the time I prefer animals over humans! If you reach out to me to pet sit your baby, I will treat them as if they are my own. I know how hard it can be to choose the right person for your beloved fur babies, and I would love to be the one to provide a sense of comfort while you are out of town! I will always go above and beyond with any communication to ease your mind! Please reach out if you think I’d be a good fit :) I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can most likely meet your needs! I currently work as a day care teacher, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can always make your needs fit my schedule, just like I would for my own babies! I will do everything as instructed by the owner, and on top of that giving the fur baby as much love, snuggles, and treats as possible!!!!

Meghann was great with our dogs and cat. We could not believe how quickly our small dog, who is scared of everything and everyone, warmed up to her. Within a day she was snuggling up with Meghann on the couch. Totally unheard of. Our other dog, a lab, loved her as well, and the cat seemed as happy as he ever is. The house was clean and tidy when we got home. We would definitely have Meghann sit for us again.

About: I’ve cared for everything from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs! We’ve trained them as puppies and cared for them to their last days. They are family. I’m currently working as a part time substitute in Lexington 1. I make my own schedule during the school year. I love teaching special education. I have a large fenced yard. We divided it up into two sides. We also have a huge dog house with air conditioning and beds.

About: As a high school teacher, I’m dependable, patient, and calm under pressure. I’ve personally owned three dogs over the past 25 years, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I do not currently have pets in my home, which allows me to give focused attention and care to the dogs I work with. I also love being outdoors and enjoy walks, routines, updates, and helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. As a teacher, I’m very organized and consistent with routines. During the summer, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active, outdoors, and dependable for both pets and their owners. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of attention. With my own dogs over the years, I loved taking them on walks, riverwalks, lake outings, and other safe outdoor adventures. I enjoy keeping dogs active, comfortable, and cared for while also respecting each owner’s routines and instructions.

Kelsey was absolutely wonderful taking care of my two dogs. You can tell they enjoyed her company. She provided timely updates and pictures throughout the stay. She even went above and beyond and cleaned the house before the end of her stay. Definitely recommend Kelsey and look forward to using her services again in the future!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have experience with a wide variety of pets and personalities. I have extensive hands-on experience with small animals, especially rabbits, having cared for many of my own over the years and understanding their unique needs, routines, and behaviors. I also have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering routine care, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily available on weekends, with limited weekday availability depending on the timing. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I’ve cared for rabbits for over 15 years and have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, litter box and habitat cleaning, playtime, enrichment, grooming, and providing plenty of love and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine stays as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions (if needed), and any other care preferences. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of exercise or enrichment, and lots of attention and affection. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!

FAQs for House Sitting - Summit

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 530 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 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 Summit. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.
