“Kristine and Lauren were amazing with my babies. Communication was stellar and coming home the house was probably cleaner than I left it. I would use them again as the proof is in the pudding - cats and dog are very happy.”
“Victoria was wonderful she took care of our German shepherd. Was very respectful in our home and always sent pictures and updates. She also takes great notes is is very thoughtful.”
“Fawn was amazing. I can’t recommend her enough. We have a dog with behavioral issues that also takes medication everyday, she handled it so well. We were gone for over a week and not once did I feel uncomfortable, nervous or anxious. We will definitely be booking with Fawn again. THE BEST!”
“Natalie did an amazing job when she stayed with my tibetan terrier, Syrah, who has separation anxiety and has never had a stranger stay with her before. Syrah instantly took to her from the moment she entered the door when she came to introduce herself. Natalie is very compassionate about her job and her love for pets. She has excellent communication and shares photos and updates of your pet throughout her stay. Having never used a pet sitter before, I wasn’t sure what to expect but she made it super easy to leave and be on vacation knowing my dog was being well cared for and smothered in cuddles! I came home to a house that looked exactly as I left it. Natalie is very respectful of your home and belongings and treats everything with care. She made sure she cleaned up before leaving and even washed the linens used during her stay! I am so thankful for having found Natalie and would recommend her without hesitation! I’ll definitely have her back as she does a wonderful job caring for my lil one. My dog had so much fun, she’s still trying to catch up on rest and snoring rather loudly 2 days later!”
“Khaytlen is experienced, accommodating, and has lots of dogs around to play with. Her yard is a huge oasis it’s like a park. She also has a kennel setup and the ability to separate dogs or integrate them as needed. She did an excellent job with our 1yr old lab mix. He’s anxious around people and has some behavioral issues but Khaytlen was able to handle him very well. She was flexible when our plans changed and very understanding. Unlike boarding at a doggie daycare, she provides daily pack-walks, structured socializations and instills good habits.”
“Victoria is amazing! We were struggling with leaving our fur babies for a week, but Victoria put our mind at ease. She took such good care of our babies and home. When she stopped by to drop off the key all of our dogs (3 of them) were excited to see her again. To top it off, she is just a genuinely amazing person that is kind and trustworthy. We will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Brooklyn was FANTASTIC. The dogs loved her and you could tell she genuinely loved them. She sent so many cute photos and gave the dogs everything they needed plus some. Will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a sitter.”
“We came home to happy animals and a very tidy house. Megan was very communicative during the entire stay. Definitely had a peace of mind knowing she was taking care of the fuzzy ones.”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
“Yvette was amazing with my baby Dior! She kept me updated and was so patient and kind. She ended up getting so many snuggles and kisses!! She made going out the easiest time as I had nothing to worry about with Dior. I will definitely use her again!! Yvette was amazing!!!”
“Ryenne was a great house sitter she took care of our two dogs and three chickens for a week watered my garden and plants. The house was nice and clean when I returned. We would definitely use her services in the future.”
“I had reservations about leaving my fur babies with a stranger but Angel was absolutely amazing every step of the way. He answered all of my questions and gave several very detailed updates throughout the weekend, including pictures. It allowed me to relax and be able to focus on my trip instead of stressing about my pets well being. They were in very good hands! I came home to a clean house because Angel really went above and beyond, vacuuming and cleaning up when I didn't expect or ask him to. I would recommend him a thousand times over and will most definitely reach out to him if I'm ever in need of a sitter again! Thank you, Angel, for taking such amazing care of our furry family members!”
“Susan was excellent. We really appreciated everything that she did for us (house sitting and dog walking) and we were very confident that our pets would be well taken care of. I will hire her again when the need arises and would strongly recommend her to anyone else.”
“I don’t know if you’re able to review a person more than once. But I had Andrhu coming for drop in visits during my long work hours because he lives just a few blocks away. I noticed my cat who is 15 took to him right away and he paid attention to my very *particular* requests about her care. Not only did I have a significant increase in my cats level of calmness - but literally at the LAST minute I saw that the sitter I use when I’m out of town had left my cat alone for almost 24 hours. Then pushed he out of bed when the cat tried to ask for minimal attention. To say I was crushed was an understatement. I was in complete tears. I have a lot going on and am kind of a single pet parent until my husband can join me in the USA. Andrhu AGAIN was a god send. One one days notice I let the other sitter go home for personal reasons and Andrhu agreed to stay - he was with her most all day every day. I came home today, my cat happy, playing with a ball at 15 years old. And now I am comfortable purchasing a kitten to make her (and I) even happier. Knowing I have Andrhu close by - he’s SO flexible. He’s honest and communicates expectations clearly which I appreciate and respect. The amount of guilt I carry about leaving her is at a zero. Down from about 200 on my last vacation. And now with our new addition coming - I consider Andrhu to be part of my cat tribe to make sure they’re all ok. I don’t want him to get completely booked (selfishly). But this is the relationship I needed for my sweet girl until my husband is allowed to live here - and for every vacation after. I highly recommend treating him with utmost respect. I have a guest set of linens, towels and hope Andrhu will help himself to anything food or drink in my home. At this point my home is him home and even if we haven’t met he is cat-family. Hire him whenever you can. The compassion he shows to even old pets it unmatched. I’m almost crying tears of joy from having my anxiety so much reduced in this difficult time in my life.”
“Shelby was so incredible! She was very attentive to our pups, sent lots of pictures, and handled our special needs dog with the utmost care and grace. She went above and beyond by washing a few dishes we had left in the sink before we went out and we were surprised and delighted that she did that for us. We look forward to seeing her again and so do our pups!”
“Drew really cares about animals. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog Oakley often times taking them to the park and paid close attention to details about my dog. Communication was top tier and she always updated me with pictures! If I ever need to book again I’m choosing drew!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Summit is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while I was on vacation. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my two dogs were in such caring and capable hands. They were well cared for, happy, and clearly received lots of attention and love. I came home to healthy and happy pups. I will definitely use Reese again.
Joanna was incredible when caring for our group over the weekend. Both cats and our dog were completely content when we got home. She even made the bed with fresh sheets, took out the trash, and made sure our water pitcher was full for the hot weather. Very much appreciate her being with our animals while we were away. We will definitely be booking again very soon!
Fawn was super kind and communicative. This was the first time in 10+ years that we have left our animals and the pictures and updates put us at ease. When we got home you could tell the animals were well taken care of. We will for sure be reaching back out if we need help with our animals again.
Jasleen did a great job taking care of Otto. Otto is 14 years old and gets very sad when we leave home and she did an excellent job making him happy despite him sulking for the first couple of days. Jasleen sent us daily messages with photos about how Otto was doing and we could tell that he really liked her!
Kaitlin is everything you would want in a pet sitter! Efficient communication, punctual and so very sweet to our animal crew! She sent pictures daily and was very detailed to ensure our large (and very medicated crew) was taken care of properly. We can't wait to have her back.
Sarah was excellent and met all our needs. We had a number of special needs for our fur family. Both of my college daughters had a pet staying at the house along with our dog and 2 skittish cats. So each animal had its own special set of directions and they all needed to be managed separately to keep everyone happy and safe. Sarah managed all these expectations perfectly, giving each pet indualized care. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive when I sent messages. I will definitely use Sarah again for our pet care needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Summit
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Summit on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,949 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.

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.
