“Kristine was incredible. She went above and beyond to provide updates and pictures of our dog and cat while we were out of town. The level of care and love she showered our pets with was wonderful. We will absolutely be using Kristine for future house sitting needs.”
“Victoria is absolutely fabulous! My dogs adore her! She is excellent at communication and sending bunches of photos. She was also flexible with my schedule when I had to change the reservation at the last minute. I highly recommend Victoria!”
About: I have taken care of fur babies for over 18 years. I care for senior and puppies alike. I truly enjoy the presence of animals. I work from home so my full attention will be for your furry family members. Playtime and quiet time will be essential for their care. I will provide a structured agenda that includes playtime, mental stimulation and quiet time. I also can provide any treats and medication to your fur baby.
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
“Edek is a STELLAR person, fur baby lover, and photographer. The words that best describe this sitter? Detail-oriented, intelligent, hard working, bubbly/optimistic, empathetic. I have always felt guilty leaving my babies, even with full time sitters. Not once did I feel that way when I booked with Edek! Every day I got updates, multiple photos of their care, and cute pictures that absolutely captured my 4 baby’s personalities. I was able to enjoy my vacation and relax for the first time in years. What a gift. I absolutely will be booking with Edek again- I cannot sing high enough praises. My babies were calm and playful when I returned (as if I never left), the house was even cleaner than I left it, and my camera now has wonderful pictures to show people when they ask about my pets❤️”
“Yvette took good care of my home, Australian Shepherd and 3 cats. She stayed in touch and gave me updates. My pets seemed happy and not stressed when I got home!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!
“Paul was great with my high energy dog! He did a few drop in visits before house sitting to make sure my dog was comfortable with him. I would highly recommend Paul and will have him dog sit again!”
“Ukaesia did a great job taking care of our senior cat. He has medicine to take everyday and she provided it daily with no issues. I received a photo each time she was at the house and she followed everything I needed her to do with our litter box. I highly recommend her as she is super to work with, communicated clearly and provided excellent care.”
“Maleka Did a great job. She sent pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. Our dogs love to lay outside which she spent time with them. Our house was clean, the sheets she slept in were washed, and she made the bed! Her communication with us made my husband and I feel relaxed on our vacation. We our looking forward to her watching our dogs in October! She is the outstanding.”
“Nayeli did a great job watching my dog! She followed all my instructions and gave me lots of updates throughout the weekend. I returned to a happy dog and a well taken care of home. I would recommend Nayeli and book her again!”
“Mackenzie was very prompt with her responses and saved me in a pinch to give them a potty break while I was at work. For the overnights I appreciated her enthusiasm and communication throughout the stay. She provided daily updates and was happy to send more whenever I wanted, which I really appreciated. She also made a good effort to keep the dogs’ routine as consistent as possible, and I could tell she genuinely wanted to do a good job caring for them. One of the dogs happened to get into a few things, including the TV remote but this wasn't his first remote to destroy. Overall, I appreciated her effort and care, and I would use her again. I think clarifying the dogs behavior beforehand about a few of these things would help ensure an even smoother experience next time! I would definitely recommend Mackenzie to care for your fur babies!”
“Paula is amazing! I loved all of the photos she sent, and she was great at communicating. My dogs looooved her. She tidied the house and had the sheets in the wash— really appreciated her extra effort.”
“Alexis was a terrific sitter for my two dogs, cat, and chickens. Everyone warmed up instantly to her and she took very good care of the animals and house. Will book again.”
About: I've spent year carrying for pets of my own and understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after them. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their family is away. I'm patient, responsible, and will follow your care instructions closely so your pets can stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I work during the school day, which leaves me available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and on many weekends. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other scheduled care around my work schedule. I keep my Rover availability updated so pet patents can easily see when I'm available. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow each pet parent's instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, doors, gates, crates, and interactions with other animals. I take time to learn each pet's personality and needs, provide attentive supervision, and will communicate with you throughout their care so you know how they're doing.
“Ashley was absolutely fantastic! She treated our dogs like they were her own and watched over our house while we were on vacation. We will absolutely have Ashley watch our dogs again!”
About: My family has owned dogs and cats since before I have memories. I was that kid that preferred to watch Animal Planet and I've always been passionate about all critters. I started working as a stable hand with horses when I was only 10. I also worked at Sumner Veterinary Hospital in the boarding facility for a little over a year and received employee of the month twice in that time. During my time working at Sumner Vet I worked with all breeds and temperaments! It truly was some of the most rewarding work of my life. I currently have one 25lb mutt dog that I love and my first personal dog was my Rottie mix, Rocky. My family housed dogs and cats of every kind. I'm not skitish when it comes to "large personalities" and am confident in getting to know your fur baby at their pace. Know that with me, your fur babies are in loving, patient and experienced hands I currently work as a dog trainer and am attending school for behavior modification. I love walks myself and can't wait to walk your puppers. I have experience handling every kind of dog, and cat. From sweet and excited to shy or reactive. I can administer medications and am very thorough in following house schedules and plans
About: I have had pets my whole life and I have about a decade of experience taking care of a range pets cats, dogs, kittens, puppies, big dogs, and small dogs I am currently unemployed and doing school online and I do not have any extracurriculars that I will need to focus on so I have lots of free time I will treat your pets and home with care and respect and will make sure I will keep in mind any additional details you provide me with

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
Andria was more than we could have ever expected. She far surpassed our expectations and look forward to booking her again! It means the world to be able to leave your fur babies with someone you can trust, and to be able to truly enjoy your time away without any stress or worry.
Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Summit is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 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 October 2026, there are 6,820 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
