“She stayed in touch with many pics. Our 3 dogs are in great spirits. She even washed the bedding from our spare room. The one she used while dog sitting. We will try to use her again, granted schedules match.”
“Natalie was super sweet and our pup clearly loved her. She sent us frequent updates and even took out the trash when she left. We would absolutely have her back the next time we have to travel without our pup!”
“Khaytlen was absolutely amazing while staying at my home to take care of my 2 GSDs. She treated both my pups and my house with the utmost care and respect. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Holly and Kane were happy, super active with long walks, and well loved the entire time. The house was spotless when I returned, and my dogs barely seemed to notice I’d been gone — the best sign of all! I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, thoughtful, and kind sitter. I’ll definitely be booking Khaytlen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted in-home dog sitter! 🐾”
“Victoria was attentive, asked questions about care of our two dogs, took detailed notes to be sure she had the information on hand to care for and handle any issues that might come up while sitting with our dogs. She kept a clean house and documented the each day, (care, walks, meals, and activities), with some pictures and notes to keep us informed. We will call on her again for our dog sitting needs.”
“Stephanie is amazing. She stayed for a week with our two huskies and they absolutely loved her. She walked with them even with rain and cold weather ensuring that the pups got their daily exercise. Communication was excellent with detailed information of their day and multiple pictures of their daily adventures. She took care of our home and pups as her own. We can tell when our pups have a good time and I think they didn’t miss us at all. She was great handling stressful situations with other reactive dogs and kept them safe. She is very professional and experienced handling dogs. She went above and beyond.”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us while we were away! It was our first time using Rover and we were incredibly pleased with our experience. Jessica was very friendly and sweet with our very nervous dog when we did our meet and greet prior to our trip. Throughout our time away she updated us with pictures and progress on how Nala was doing. Clearly she is wonderful with animals because our nervous pup seemed to be comfortable with her in no time at all. We would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter/house sitter while they are away, and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“Susan was fantastic! She took great care of all of our animals and was really great at communicating. Prompt, professional. Just an awesome person and caregiver! Thankful to have had her stay with our pack.”
“Reyna was absolutely awesome. Took great care of my home and cat, sent regular updates and was wonderfully communicative. Will always seek to book her first for my next travels. It was my first time using the app and she was patient with me and helped me figure out how to do it and what information to share.”
“I can't recommend Angel highly enough! He was very responsive to our initial inquiry about having him stay with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. We scheduled a couple of visits prior to our vacation to make sure everything would be a good fit. He was so good with our boys and made us feel super comfortable with leaving them in his care. He sent many updates, pictures and videos while we were gone, which we greatly appreciated. He took my crazy dog lady instructions in stride and did a great job taking care of our boys, our plants and our house. Angel gets an A+ from us!”
“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!”
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.
“As one would expect from all of her outstanding reviews, Megan was amazing in taking care of our babies. Annie is extremely nervous and anxious when left with anyone but us, and Megan was sensitive to her needs. We really appreciate you, Megan. We look forward to having you take care of our babies again soon. Thank you!”
“Brooklyn was amazing, very communicative, very punctual, attentive, and professional. I would definitely book Brooklyn any time I need someone to watch out dogs. Great experience.”
“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.”
“Simon is a dream sitter! He went above and beyond for my two small dogs! The house and pets were very well cared for and he did an absolutely tremendous job! He stripped the bed and got it ready for me to come home, sent regular reports with photos on the doggos, and it just allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip! What a treat! Thank you Simon!”
“This was the first time we used this type of service. All other times we needed a sitter for our dog we used family to care for our dog. We had 2 concerns a stranger taking care of our dog and a stranger in our house. We decided on Drew who was an excellent choice. We did a meet and greet. During the meet and greet we told Drew everything she needed to know to care for our dog. She asked questions and took notes. While away Drew sent many pictures each day. Took Suzy on walks and described how each day went. We made an excellent choice in using Drew as an in house dog sitter. We will use her service again.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked Paul to watch my cats, and once again he went above and beyond with pictures while I was away, great communication, keeping my house clean, and even bringing in my mail and garbage cans. Highly recommended!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Summit is $60

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Summit on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 6,922 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
