About: After years of fostering rescue dogs, we’re experienced at creating a calm, loving home where dogs can relax, play, and feel genuinely safe. We have experience with a wide range of personalities, including anxious dogs, energetic dogs, and those who need a little extra structure or reassurance. We’re trained in dog leadership techniques that help dogs feel secure, confident, and part of the pack, along with advanced obedience experience for more challenging behaviours. But beyond the training side, we simply love spending time with dogs. Long walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and making them feel at home are the heart of what we do. Our goal is for you to leave feeling confident your dog is genuinely cared for, understood, and loved while you are away. We work regular weekdays 8-4. I work from home 2 days a week, which I can usually schedule to be home as much as possible while your dog is with us. When in the office, your dog will be lounging in our comfortable home from 7am-4pm. We have no current pets and only take one family at a time, so your dog(s) will have plenty of individualized attention and avoid the stress of other personalities. Our large property is not fenced, so we will always personally walk your dog around the property. This helps create a trust bond quickly with your dog, and means that your dog will never be left unsupervised in a yard. We love to send you pics throughout the visit!

“I would (and already have ) recommend Jenn. She stayed in our house and looked after our dog for 3 days. She was always responsive, dependable and flexible. She provided regular pupdates. We look forward to using her services again.”

“Jennifer is a fantastic sitter! She knows how to put anxious pets at ease, not to mention anxious pet parents. She sent so many photos and videos throughout the stay. It was reassuring to see my babies so happy in all the photos and videos. It was also easy to see how much she loves animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer.”

“Emily was very communicative and shared lots of pictures which we loved. She also took our energetic dogs for nice long walks every day and played with them outside. Our home was left clean and tidy, we would use her house sitting services again for sure.”

“I can't recommend Josephine enough—she was amazing! Before our 14-day trip, she met with us so Ollie could get comfortable, and he loved her from the start. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Josephine went above and beyond, even leaving our home cleaner than when she arrived. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!”

About: I love all animals and practice a dedicated vegan lifestyle since 2012. I have owned three dogs, one cat, four rabbits in my lifetime. Sometimes our home has a caged bunny that gets along with other animals. I enjoy being outdoors and being active, so your pet will be well exercised if they like that. I work from home and can be with your pet all day. I also love cats and your cat will have sunny spots to lounge in the home. I will only board one animal at a time, so there will be no sharing of attention or spaces with other animals (except maybe 1 bunny). I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! I work from home five days a week. If needed, I can crate your pup if I step out, or at bedtime if that's the routine they follow I love the outdoors and walking in all seasons. With your permission we can drive to the trails, but there are also nearby parks and trails. For quick bathroom breaks there is a fenced dog area close by. I will pick up their business when outdoors whether in the bush or on a trail walk. My home is well kept with no dangerous chemicals, and is a meat-free home as well (so no raw meat for dinner please). There is one other adult in the home that also loves animals so your pup will be well cared for with lots of attention.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for animals and would be so happy to care for your furry friend! 🐶 I’ve had my own Pit Bull since he was a puppy, and I’ve been actively involved in his training and everyday care. I’m comfortable handling a strong, energetic dog and have experience with both big and small breeds. I also regularly walk my neighbours’ and friends’ dogs. I’m patient, responsible and treat every dog with love, attention and respect. I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, playtime, cuddles and care while you’re away! 🐾💕 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your furry friend! I have lots of availability for dog walking, pet sitting and boarding in my home. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and love. Whether your pup needs a quick walk or lots of activity throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their needs! 🐾 I live in a spacious apartment with my own friendly dog, and I can keep the dogs safely separated if your pup prefers their own space or is uncomfortable around other dogs. There is also a small dog park right next door for supervised play and exercise. The Aylmer Marina is about a 10-minute walk away, so I can also offer longer walks and plenty of outdoor time. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first, and I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable and cared for while they’re with me! 🐶💕

FAQs for House Sitting - Prescott

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 30 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Prescott. About 86% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Prescott 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Prescott walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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 Prescott 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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.
