“So we were a little worried and skeptical about using rover for the first time but Shauna was amazing with our pets. She sent us updates and pictures of the pets during a difficult time of year due to it being over the new year eve weekend (fireworks). She also took very good care of the house which we appreciate, would highly recommend Shauna to anyone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Dalene is the best! My Shihtzu, Bella, immediately liked Dalene and sat by her at our meet and greet. Bella was spoiled by her! I recieved timely messages and pictures of Bella enjoying the good life! I highly recommend Dalene and hope you are lucky enough to get her!”
“Kaitlyn provided regular updates and went out of her way to ensure our pups had a great time and were safe. House was kept in great order and cleanliness during her stay. Highly recommend!”
“Christina is the only pet sitter I’ve used that I can honestly say that I don’t worry when we’re gone. She takes great care of our family pets. If you can book with her, you are lucky!”
“Emily was great! She treated my Tj like her own. I felt very comfortable and confident that he was well taken care of while I was away. Emily's communication was great and she sent photos of my dog regularly.”
“This was the first time we hired Anna to dog and house sit for us. We were able to relax and enjoy a few days out of town knowing that she was giving our Jack Russell lots of love and attention. We appreciated that she kept us updated with photos and comments. Our home was in perfect condition when we returned. We plan to hire her again.”
“Eleonora did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and 2 cats in our home. She walked our dog every day and kept us posted throughout the visit with messages and pics of our fur kids. She is very reliable and we would definitely book her again!”
“Asianna was great! She was prompt, and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. He's shy but she did a wonderful job of getting to know him. I will definitely be asking Asianna back in the future!”
“Leaving our fur babies for the first time - Kate made it a breeze. Came and met them, and our home ahead of the scheduled stay. Everything we asked was done to perfection - with lots of little bonuses. We have an elderly dog - needed meds, a frisky young dog - needed lots of attention, and a middle age pup - and they can be a handful. She sent pictures and up dates day and evening. Our pups were always looking happy, and well cared for. Made our trip so much more enjoyable - knowing they were i such good hands. Would highly reccommend Kate for any and all pet related jobs - she is awesome!”
About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.
“We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive. Our cats are typically very anxious and don’t warm up to new people easily, but she was incredibly patient and gentle with them. By the end of our trip, they were comfortable and even snuggly with her, which really says a lot. She treats your pets like her own and consistently goes above and beyond what’s asked. As anxious pet parents, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She also provided regular, detailed updates, which helped us feel connected and reassured while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave our pets and will definitely be using her again. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets, understand their quirks, and keep you sane while you’re away—she’s it. 10/10, no notes.”
About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends since I was thirteen years old. I would feed cats and dogs as well as walk dogs. It my top priority that every animal in my care gets the love and attention they need. I am a college student, but I am available everyday for drop in visits, walking, and house sittings. Considering it is summer now, My schedule is pretty open. I will not board in my own home due to personal circumstances but am willing to drop by to check in on your furry friend. I will provide them with food, love, and attention as they deserve to be spoiled after all :)
“We have 2 senior dogs and had our 3 y/o frenchie granddog that Faith cared for through the holidays. We came home to 3 well cared for pups. I will be happy to use her in the future. She is responsible and has a gentle way with the senior dogs. She comes highly recommended!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have professional experience in animal care. I have worked in direct contact with animals in the shelter environment, all types of behaviors, and all different types of quirks. I have frequently pet sit around my neighborhood for the last couple years and would love to meet your furry friend! I am pretty much an open calender for your pets! I just graduated high school in early June and have a lot of free time, I would love to help you out and spend time with your furry friend at no inconvenience to me! I can provide walks, feedings, baths, and love to all different types of dogs! I do have a dog of my own so trust me to care for your dog as well as you can. As a fellow dog owner I understand differing feeding schedules, odd quirks, and the best place to scratch behind their ears.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and have been helping take care of pets for years, whether that’s for family, friends, or neighbors. I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I also have a 5-year-old dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m patient, attentive, and always pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m currently in school, but I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of that and can make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting depending on the day, and I’m open most evenings and weekends. I’m good about communicating and planning ahead so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure to follow any instructions you leave closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I keep a clean, calm environment and always pay attention to behavior changes or anything that seems off. I have a friendly 5-year-old dog who is well-socialized, but I can also keep pets separate if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and not stressed while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I love running in the backyard, chasing and being chased. Food time is my favorite, because I get to see all the dances your fur babies do. I see bath time as a doggie spa day, let them feel important too. Medicine time is my least favorite, but if mom/dad say so, then those are the rules. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since I learned how to drive. I love seeing the happy smiles and waggy tails of my furry friends. Want some playtime videos? You got it! Your fur babies are in good hands. I’m currently working weekends, so I’m free during the week days. I’m the one who feeds my family pets morning and night. I have two very active dogs so I like to get up bright and early to walk them. If they’re still antsy after a morning walk and through-the-day play, then I’ll walk them in the evenings too. I like to train my dogs as much as I can, especially on walks. I love snuggling with my dogs too, who doesn’t love a good cuddle session with our fur babies? Depending on the needs of each dog, baths, feedings, medications, walks and playtime are always included. Please let me know what your needs are when it comes to taking care of your fur babies.
About: I have worked for dog breeders for years and I have always had animals of my own. My whole life I have worked on a farm with my family with many kinds of animals. I take my dogs for a walk every morning and I am always making sure to take them to the dog park by my house. I also used to work weekly for dog breeders where I took care of multiple litters of puppies including their parents. I have two friendly female dogs along with two male cats. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room and we have a dog park walking distance from my house.

This was my second time booking Anna, and once again she was wonderful! She stayed with my dogs and my daughter’s dogs for four hours while we attended a family function. We came home to happy pups and appreciated the peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Anna!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sumner Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sumner Hill on Rover is $39.13 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 506 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sumner Hill. 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 Sumner Hill 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 Sumner Hill 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 Sumner Hill 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.
