“Jessica provided stellar service, above and beyond. She had to deal with record heat and went out of her way to make sure my dog was comfortable and safe. She communicated with me regularly. I felt my dog was in excellent hands and would gladly use her again.”
“Lyla was a fantastic dog/house sitter! We got pictures and updates each day we were gone. Our pups were treated like her own and they were genuinely loved while we were gone. There’s nothing better than leaving and not having stress because Lyla was there with them! Everything was clean, dogs were walked and Lyla was great at communicating. Hoping we get the opportunity to have her sit for our pups again!”
“Kaitlyn put my mind at ease while I was out for the day! I will definitely hire her again. I especially love that she sent me update pictures of the pups! We’ll see you next time, Kaitlyn! 🐶🐾🖤”
“Lynzi was wonderful with our 3 dogs and sensitive to our eldest’s health issues. She made an extra effort to tidy up at the end. We will definitely ask her to work again! Thank you!”
“Lilly did an exceptional job with our dogs, and with very short notice. Our dogs are a little high maintenance, and need a lot of exercise and attention so coming home to happy and content dogs was awesome! We can’t thank you enough, everything looks great, and Thor and Blue are happy! If you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter, Lilly is it! She’s kind, trustworthy and an animal lover! Thanks again, Lilly 🥳”
“Madeline is THE BEST sitter. She is communicative and just gets our quirky cats. This is the second time we’ve had her sit for us and she’s our first call whenever we need someone to check in on our fur babies.”
“Breauna was amazing with our dog Joey! He has some anxiety especially when he's separated from us but she did a great job of taking care of him and making him feel secure. She exceeded expectations by taking him on walks that were not necessary and sending us lots of pictures and updates! She was also very respectful of our home and we came back to the place just as neat as we had left it. Very kind and amazing vibes, well definitely be using her again!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Cody did a great job looking after our two dogs for 2 weeks and left the house in great condition after he left. He was diligent about sending photos and videos, and always answered questions/concerns in a timely manner. Will absolutely book with Cody again for future trips!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs of various ages, breeds, and personalities. I've cared for senior pets with health conditions and high-energy puppies. I love to take dogs on walks and spend time with them outside. I make sure to spend lots of my time with the pets that I am caring for so that they have time to play and be around someone instead of being lonely. I am currently working part-time during the week and have open weekends. This is perfect if you need a weekend sitter or someone to be around during the week! I have lots of time during the week to take pets on walks, let them outside, and feed them. I will be caring for pets inside your home where they are comfortable. I can spend as much (or as little) time inside your home as you wish.
“Judas was incredibly mindful of both my space and my senior dog's medical needs while I was traveling. I loved the daily photo updates, and Judas even tidied up before my return! I absolutely will be booking them again :)”
About: Hi there! **Now accepting new CAT & DOG clients** Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something that brings me so much joy. I’m a big lover of both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and little quirks. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’ll be loved, cared for, and treated like one of my own. I'm a freelance photographer with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to your pet's care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings, or simply keeping them company, I'm happy to work around their routine and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I know every cat and dog has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel at ease. I'll always follow your care instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
About: Hi! My name is Chloe, and I am an exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer working in a physical therapy setting. When I have free time on my hands I like to pick up extra work! I’m passionate about health, fitness, and wellness—not just for people, but for animals too. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, so if your dog is able, I enjoy playing and walking! I’ve cared for many dogs over the years and treat every pet like family. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while keeping your furry friend happy, healthy, active, and safe while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, typically 7–8 hours a day. I’m able to accommodate potty breaks during my lunch break, and I keep the distance and radius I accept bookings from relatively close to my workplace so I can easily come back during lunch when needed. My weekends are wide open when I am not dog sitting! When I care for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow the feeding, potty, walking, medication, and bedtime routines you provide and make sure they receive the attention and companionship they need.
“Madelyn was top notched dog sitter. She watched my two whippets and house for multiple days. She send photos and did daily dog walks. She made us feel at ease while we were on vacation, so we could relax and enjoy Disneyland! Highly recommend her.”
About: I provide reliable, loving, personalized care for every pup, treating your furry family members like my own with patience, attention, and plenty of cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I prioritize regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.

I prioritize safety, comfort, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated on your furry family member.
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“My baby Charlie(Ragdoll cat) spent 4 days and 3 nights with Jen. I loved and appreciated the pictures she sent each day. Another thing I appreciated so much was the note she left my friend and myself. She is very kind and humble, and I believe took really good care of Charlie. I’ll be calling Jen again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Prairie
Kristy was stellar! She gave my dog and elderly kitty the sweetest TLC and sent amazing photo and video updates. She was in regular communication throughout the weekend and even washed the sheets and towels before leaving. I'm so glad I found her! I'd ask her back in a heartbeat!
There is no way to accurately describe how amazing Susana was with our dogs! From moments into the "meet & greet", through the moment she left, I had 100% peace about leaving our dogs in her care. One of our girls deals with fear/anxiety with new people. She took to Susana in the meet & greet like I've never seen! Susana communicated every day with updates & photos, and throughout the whole process she responded quickly when I would reach out to her. Her experience shows! She easily grasped all the complexities of our dogs feeding needs (each are different) and the medications that needed to be done at certain times. She even sent a photo of our scaredy-dog licking her! Our home was left in such good condition that you'd never know someone had stayed there. I can't recommend Susana enough! Thank you for not only calming the anxiety of our dogs, but the anxiety of this human!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fern Prairie is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $77 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 Fern Prairie 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 Fern Prairie 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 Fern Prairie 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.
