“Amy did an amazing job of caring for our 3 dogs and our home! We got timely updates about any issues and just happy pictures too! Will not hesitate to use Amy again for our pet sitting needs!”
“Kam did an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. She is very communicative and thoughtful. Our dog - who is usually quite anxious - was extremely comfortable and relaxed with her while we were on vacation, even over the 4th of July when loud noises usually bother him. Kam stayed at our home and sent lots of cute dog pics while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: From the time I was old enough to ask “can we keep him” I’ve always taken care of my best friends. From walking them 3 miles to the vet (before I was old enough to drive) to daily feedings, bathing, grooming and of course, treats! While I spoil the pets, I’m always sure to give them the highest grade food and treats. I believe they deserve the best. Diet and exercise are important. A daily regiment of “fetch” is highly recommended by Duke, the black lab! I would love to take care of your best friend and ensure he/she is given the highest quality of care while keeping Duke company (Duke plays well with others.) I’ve been working from home for the last seven years. I always have time to make sure the water bowls are full and play time is given. Who says you can’t work from the patio while throwing a ball for fetch? Duke and I have a great fenced in yard for plenty of play time and potty breaks. All vegetation is harmless for pets. Grass is well groomed and “yard bombs” removed daily (or as often as required).
“Kathy has been absolutely wonderful to work with! I have two dogs, a senior Vizsla and young Boston Terrier. I hired Kathy to pet sit for three days, several hours each day. Kathy went above and beyond to make my pets feel comfortable! She engaged with them, sent pictures throughout the day and let me know how they were doing. She also had great communication prior to the booking. I will definitely hire Kathy again.”
About: Ready to take the 'ruff' out of your daily routine? I have experience from kittens, puppies, to senior dogs. Guaranteed great care for your animals when you need it. I have a flexible schedule, that gives me plenty of time for extra care and check ins so all pets are taken care of. They will not be left for a long period of time Multiple pictures and good communication will be provided, with your routines being followed as requested. I am here to make you feel comfortable. References are available. Check out my reviews !
“Darren did such an amazing job with our dog. She’s a big girl and can be a lot to handle, but he made her feel comfortable and relaxed while we were gone. Will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Kayla was great she is very sweet and attentive with our Steeley we will definitely use her again she sent pictures and walked and played with our lab she is a very sweet young lady”
“We are so grateful for Sandy taking excellent care of our house and most importantly our high maintenance pets! It was obvious they were all happy and comfortable while we were away! It seems like she really got to know each of them and helped them feel safe when we weren’t there. Sandy took the time to send us detailed updates and pictures of everyone each day, which really helped us feel secure. She was an extremely respectful house guest and left the place in better shape than when she got there.”
“Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.”
“Jamie is awesome! She took such great care of our dog and cat while we were away for a few days. I appreciated all of the photos and videos she sent us and I could tell our pets were so well taken care of. I will definitely be asking Jamie to watch the pets again and cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi I’m Izzy! I currently work at an animal hospital in kennel care. I’ve adopted/fostered 15 animals (dogs,cats,birds,etc) since I was 8 years old. I’ve petsit for friends, teachers, and close connections! Since I do have an animal working job, that does mean that I will have to work around that. Some days mornings work better, as others the day or evening. Yet I'm very flexible and communication can sort that out! I make sure that your cat/s is good with water, any food, medication (if needed) and double check before and after if there’s any cautions that he/she could get to. On top of that picture & video updates!
“Kayla was very dependable and went above and beyond to make sure she left the house even better than she found it. She took pics of dogs and shared by text what they were up to, making us feel really confident in her care for them!”
“Tatum did a great job taking care of our dog. She sent us several photos while we were gone and went out of her way to accommodate our dog's unique habits. She even got to our house during a Level 3 snowstorm to make sure our dog was well taken care of. She was determined to get to our home in the middle of that storm and cleared a path for our dog to go out in the yard. Thank you for taking such great care of our dog.”
About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs
“Absolutely was wonderful! Monae stayed at our house for three days to watch our 3 girls and took amazing care of them. She was extremely responsive and an excellent communicator throughout the entire stay. She even came early in the morning to make sure the girls weren’t left alone for too long and messaged with photos and updates which gave us complete peace of mind. We are so happy to have found someone we can truly trust. We will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Corrinn was the best dogsitter! We needed someone for 9 days while traveling to California without kids and had our sitter fall through. She made it easy to pivot and was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Our pup was so happy to have her company and we loved the check ins knowing that our dog was in good hands. Would highly recommend!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summit Station
This was our first time using Rover and leaving our pups with someone other than family. Victoria really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and I know she spoiled the dogs! Our oldest dog keeps going up to the guest room to look for her! Victoria did an amazing job and we will continue to ask her to watch the dogs in the future!
Lisa was awesome! She was a great communicator and did so well with our four dogs and cat. The dogs are energetic and she made sure to keep them busy so they barely missed us! Would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter! Can’t say enough good things about her - just fabulous!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Summit Station is $27 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $31 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.

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 Station 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 Station 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 Station 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.
