About: I grew up with animals and have always had a deep love for them. I’ve been caring for pets for years and have extensive experience with both dogs and cats. I currently foster dogs through my local humane society, which has given me experience helping pets adjust to new environments, administering medications when needed, and providing patient, individualized care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and enjoy spending time walking, playing, cuddling, and relaxing with pets. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll provide attentive care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal in my care like a member of my own family. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. I can promise they’ll be treated like one of my own (and definitely spoiled)! 🐾 Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life! Since I currently work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m very active, so your pet will enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. Whether they love to cuddle on the couch, sleep in bed, or just be close to someone, they’ll have lots of companionship and won’t spend much time alone. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure they feel like part of the family. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, respect, and patience. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“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: I have had dogs since I was 17 most of the time 2 t o 3 dogs at a time. I enjoy walking them and playing outside with them and loving on them. I currently work a fulltime job with work from home days as well. I work 8am to 4pm. I still have plenty of time with my animals and take my dog for walks or play fetch in the back yard. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also love to clean so you would never come home to a mess. I will only care for your pets in your home. I think it is best for them to stay home and not be introduced to a new location plus new people and pets. I will care for your pets exactly how you do.
“Jace loves aunt Lizzie! She takes him for walks, plays fetch, and gives him lovins. His three favorite things aside from treats and food. 🤣 We are so lucky to have chosen Liz to care for him when we need a dog sitter. We know he's in good hands. Thanks Liz for everything! ❤️”
“Darren was fantastic taking care of my 2 dogs, sent us pictures during his visit and both my dogs really like him and were happy when he came. Darren is very professional and he has a wonderful disposition”
“Melanie is great with my Morgan. I never worry about him as I can always count on her caring for him like he is her own fur baby .. THANK YOU so much for caring for Morgan...”
“Mallory was amazing and when she gets back from vacation, I will contact her again. She showed up on time and was professional and friendly. My dog loved her and was very calm when I returned home. I highly recommend her.”
“Michelle was perfect. She was so sweet and loving. We had a meeting before hand to make sure she was comfortable with our crew and it went great you can tell she has a big heart for animals. Our kitty Callie has some special needs and hasn't been feeling great she was really understanding and accommodating. We will definitely use Michelle for our pets again!”
About: Hi! I’m a college student, swim instructor, and lifelong animal lover with over 7 years of pet sitting and dog walking experience. Growing up, I cared for two dogs, two cats, a guinea pig, and a gecko, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and care. My experience ranges from walking small breeds like Pomeranians to caring for giant breeds such as Great Danes. I am also comfortable administering medications to dogs and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and safe. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles, including those with live-feeding requirements. Through my 13+ years as a Girl Scout, I developed strong responsibility, leadership, and problem-solving skills. For both my Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Awards, I completed projects focused on pet welfare and educating new pet owners about responsible animal care, further deepening my knowledge of pet health, safety, and enrichment. My work as a swim instructor has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to remain calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, specialized care, or simply a trusted companion while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. I typically work afternoons on weekdays and mornings on weekends, which means I am often available for morning and midday visits during the week and afternoon and evening care on weekends. Because I have been pet sitting and dog walking for over 7 years, I am used to planning my schedule around pets’ needs, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, or simply providing companionship. I prioritize reliability and communication to ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs, preferences, and schedule. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, crate routines, and any special requirements. I also provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I am comfortable administering medications and adapting care to fit each animal’s personality and health needs. In my own home, I have cared for multiple pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, a guinea pig, and a gecko. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, and positive interactions to ensure every animal feels secure and well cared for. I have a large yard and high privacy fence for dogs to run and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys, including a ball launcher. I have a senior dog they can chill out with or an active austrialian shepard who loves to play with new friends. As a pet sitter and dog walker for over 7 years, I understand the importance of treating every pet as if they were my own and keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos whenever possible.
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).
“Gabby was absolutely wonderful! For an over protective dog mom and first time Rover user, I could not have picked a better sitter. Gabby was quick to respond, answered all my questions, met with my dogs and I prior to sitting and made the process so easy. She spent extra time loving on the dogs and sent a lot of update photos. Gabby treated my dogs as if they were her own. If I could give her a 10 star rating I would! We will definitely be booking with Gabby for all of our dog sitting needs! ?”
“Shelby did a great job with our pup! She stayed with him and cuddled him while we were out all day and safely secured him in his kennel when she left for the day. He was a happy and safe dog thanks to her!”
“Eva was amazing with our dog Lola. Took her on walks, kept to her schedule, and gave her lots of love and belly rubs. She sent us daily pictures and let us know how things were going. We could not have asked for a better sitter and she definitely is a dog lover. Lola was sorry to see her go.”
“We can’t say enough great things about Madelyn she took amazing care of our boys, Jett and Griffin, while we were away. From the start, communication was fantastic — we received regular updates, adorable photos:)”
“Faith was so kind and our dogs were in great hands with her while we were away! She was able to come by the house a few days before to meet the boys, and needed very little additional help or direction after that. She stayed in our home all weekend and left it in better condition than when she arrived. She was also very responsive and answered messages quickly. We had some last minute travel plan changes and she was incredibly willing to accommodate and help. I will absolutely book with her again. Thank you Faith!”
“Aspen took great care of our dog while we were out of town for a few days. She left our home spotless and it was clear through lots of photos that my dog felt very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
“Kelly was awesome! Very communicable. When I came home from vacation my boy was happy and calm- I’m booking her for the second weekend in a row! Traveling is not so hard when you’re able to trust your babies are safe and not having anxiety attacks. Thanks Kelly. .”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Summit Station on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,513 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Summit Station. 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 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 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.
