“Susana was an amazing sitter for our puppy while we were on vacation for the week. He can be difficult with being a picky eater and demand barking but she handled it well. We will definitely use her again!”
“Jessica is such a great pet caretaker. She’s very communicative and always sends us pics and updates daily on our pets. We felt they were in great hands throughout our whole trip! Thank you Jessica.”
“Highly Recommend Madeline! We had such a wonderful experience with Madeline! This was our first time ever using a pet sitter, so we were understandably a little nervous—especially because our dog can be somewhat challenging. Madeline was absolutely fantastic from start to finish and immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly timely, responsible, and attentive. We really appreciated the updates she sent throughout the overnight stay—they were just the right amount and gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well. The photos she shared were an especially nice touch, and we loved being able to see our dog happy and comfortable while we were away. Madeline handled everything so professionally and clearly has a genuine love and understanding of animals. By the time we returned, we felt completely confident that our dog had been well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with a pet sitter. Madeline was wonderful, and we would absolutely trust her with our dog again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Zahara did such a great job with my puppy! He warmed up super quickly and I loved getting photos of what they were up to. Thank you so much, hope to have Kai taken care of again by you soon :)”
“Lyla did an incredible job! She gave me updates and was flexible with my crazy schedule. Overall she brought a lot of peace while I was out of town. Just knowing that my dog was so well taken care of. Thank you Lyla!”
“Erica was so lovely, patient, and communicative! We potentially needed a last minute sitter for the weekend, and she was so kind while we waited to confirm that we did in fact need help. Our meet and greet went wonderfully and all of our pets instantly loved her. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. We'll definitely book with her again!”
“Janesia was amazing with our pets! My dog is an anxious dog and getting her to eat is a bit hard when we’re away. Pepper was eating her meals, going on walks and snuggling with janesia the entire time we were away. Janesia consistently sent updates and pictures which made me feel so much better because I get nervous every time I leave my pets in someone else’s care. She followed all my instructions and asked questions if she was in doubt. She also left my home in perfect condition and left a sweet treat for us as a welcome home gift! She was absolutely amazing and I will definitely keep her as my regular pet sitter 😊!”
“Amanda was an excellence sitter. She was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful not only with my pet but with me. She provided moral support for me as I was getting ready to go through surgery. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your pet. She definitely trustworthy and your pet will be in good hands.”
“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!!!”
“From the first time we met, and Ollie and Winnie met Dylan we felt an easiness. The dogs didnt response in a negitive way, but only wiggled, licked and snuggled with him. It made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Thank you Dylan for taking such good care of both our fur babies, but our house was still spotless and our flowers were watered and taken care of. We will use you again.”
“Anthea was great from the start! Very detailed and provided instant peace of mind for me. My dog was happy and healthy upon return, and our house was better than we left it!!”
“Incredible house and pet sitter! Extremely communicative and very respectful of the space. The house was immaculate when I got back from my trip and the babies were very well taken care of. I’ve already scheduled Brittany to be my Rover in a few weeks. HIGHLY recommend!”
“Winnie loved Jessica from the moment she walked in. It was such a relief to leave my baby girl with someone like Jessica who clearly loved Winnie just as much. Communication was reliable and she’s very sweet and easy to work with. I will definitely be booking her in the future”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience with Paul Johnson. He is courteous, thorough, conscientious, and provided us with regular updates on how the pups were doing while we were away. We feel very comfortable with leaving Paul in the care of our doggos in the future.”
About: I am an experienced pet owner, with a lifelong love of all animals: especially dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your fur-babies, and I have a lot of experience with a wide range of ages, needs and puppy personalities. I am an avid runner and naturist and love taking dogs on the myriad trails and walks surrounding our area. Your dog will get plenty of exercise and play time if they want it, or could be a total lounge and snuggle-bug in the calm indoors. I'm happy to tailor my care to your dog's needs and routine. I am happy to keep you updated on how your pet's stay is going, ready to send those glamor shots your way. I'm also adept at getting even the most stubborn of pups to take their medications without fuss. We can't wait to meet you and your four-legged bestie! I work from home and my wife has weekends, holidays and Summers off. Between us, we have a lot of time, energy and snuggles to devote to your pup. Our dogs thrive on a set routine for feeding, potty breaks and outdoor adventures, so your friend will be in good company. We have two lovable hounds that enjoy making new friends and we have a secure, fenced yard. My schedule allows for frequent check-ins or stays at your place, should you prefer house-sitting.
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fern Prairie is $55
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!
We absolutely loved Ashley. Very kind, and obviously cares about our dogs. She kept 3 dogs at our daughter's house, having to endure a couple of last minute location details because of weather and changing plans. She handled everything with courtesy and professionalism. Highly recommend and will request her again!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fern Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fern Prairie on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,432 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fern Prairie. 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fern Prairie. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
