“Maddie was wonderful! She took exceptional care of my two rescue dogs that, after the first morning after I had to leave on a trip, got into a fight over a bone and she went into action taking care of both of them and making sure they had what they needed from our veterinarian. She was in constant communication with me and sending me pictures and updates on their progress and how things are going. It was the first time something like this had happened and I was so grateful she was the one who was there to take care of them. I highly recommend her for any and all your pets! She is truly awesome! If I could give her higher than five stars I would!”
“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 took such loving care of my babies (a dog and 2 cats). She kept me informed of how they were doing and sent several pix. And she left my house in perfect condition. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Roree did a great job with our pup Lulu, and we'll definitely have her back. She was communicative, asked questions when she had them, and was clearly attentive to our little hairball, who can be a lil nut on occasion. We strongly recommend her!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Izzy and the care she provided for our two cats while we were away. Having someone stay in our home and care for our boys, especially with one of them having significant medical needs- requires an incredible amount of trust, and Izzy truly exceeded our expectations. Our cat Orange has Congestive Heart Failure and requires a very specific care routine. Before leaving, I prepared a detailed Care Packet with instructions for his medications, monitoring, and what to watch for. Izzy followed everything to a T. She administered his oral heart medications every morning and evening with ease and took his care extremely seriously. What impressed me even more was that she created her own tracker in her notes to record Orange’s resting respiratory rate (breaths per minute/BPM) and consistently monitored him according to the guidelines I provided. As a pet parent with a medically complex cat, having someone who was willing to be this attentive and thorough gave me an incredible amount of peace of mind while we were away. Izzy was also extremely communicative throughout the entire stay. She sent us updates and photos every day, kept us informed about how both boys were doing, and made it clear they were getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and love. ❤️ She was also incredibly respectful of our home. We never asked or expected her to clean, but she went out of her way to leave our home exceptionally clean and cared for. She was so thoughtful and detailed, and coming home to everything so beautifully taken care of was such an unexpected and appreciated gesture. She truly treated our home with the same level of care and respect that she gave our cats. Before our trip, I had asked Izzy if she would like to have anyone stay with her while we were away so she wouldn’t have to be alone, and she asked if her longtime boyfriend, Taytum, could accompany her. We were happy to have him, and he was incredibly kind, respectful, and trustworthy as well. We felt completely comfortable having them both in our home and around our boys. It is not easy for me to leave Orange because of his heart condition, so finding someone I can genuinely trust with his medications, respiratory monitoring, and overall well-being means everything to me. Izzy was responsible, attentive, communicative, caring, respectful, and incredibly thorough. I would absolutely trust Izzy with our boys and our home again without hesitation. I highly recommend her, especially to anyone looking for a sitter who is comfortable following detailed care instructions or caring for a pet with additional medical needs. We came home to two very loved and well-cared-for boys, an immaculate home, and the feeling that everything had truly been in good hands while we were away. We are so grateful for Izzy! 🧡💛”
“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.”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, have been feeding stray cats in my neighborhood for years, and I've been pet-sitting for the past 6 years! I've watched all kinds of animals, including big and small dogs, friendly and scaredy-cats, a dog who wore diapers, and a blind dog. My animal care experience also includes chickens, goats, cows, and bearded dragons! I've never been one to shy away from any animal, no matter what its needs are. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'm free all day to watch your pets! Call on me early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between, and I'll be available. I am dedicated to understanding each pet's particular needs so I can provide quality care and companionship for them. I'm also committed to keeping your home clean, and I'm not scared of cleaning up any messes your animals may make. I'm easy to reach by phone, so you don't need to worry about contacting me for any reason.
“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!”
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.
“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!!!”
“Janesia was a fantastic sitter and we are looking forward to booking her again. Great communication from the beginning of her stay right till the very end. There is no better feeling than coming home from vacation to a clean house and happy dogs!”
“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! 🐶🐾🖤”
“Allison was reliable, left our home spotless, and was extremely flexible and responsive when our flights got delayed and we had to add another night last minute. She made the entire experience so much less stressful and we would use her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Destiny provided for our Goldendoodle and three cats while house-sitting for us last week! From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative, keeping us updated throughout her stay and sending plenty of photos of our furry family members. What truly set Destiny apart was her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond. She not only kept our pets happy and well-cared for but also helped put away their frozen food delivery and even made a trip to the store to pick up extra paper plates for feeding the cats. When we returned, our home was spotless, and it was clear that Destiny had taken great care to leave everything in perfect order. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and thoughtfulness, and we’re excited to use her services for all our future house-sitting and pet-watching needs. Thank you, Destiny—you’re amazing!”
“Erin came to our home and stayed with our furbabies while we went to Mexico. She was truly amazing with them, which put us at ease being away from home knowing they were in great care. She provided us with updates and photos throughout her stay. Cooper loved the walks she took him on. And Sasha loved her fun in the sun. We are so appreciative of Erin and the care she provided them. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Erin!”
“Macynn was so great with our doggos. Our oldest has occasionally been starting minor scuffles when stressed and Macynn handled it perfectly the first day after we left. She communicated frequently and sent pictures without being prompted. She stayed at our house and left it exactly as we did. I could barely tell she'd stayed at all. Would recommend Macynn to everyone and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks Macynn!”
“Jan and Paul are just the best. Our flight home was cancelled multiple times and our trip away from our girls was extended. They were so flexible and accommodating in response. This was a godsend as there is nobody else we would trust to watch our babies while we are away. Thank you both so much.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fern Prairie is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fern Prairie
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!
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 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 4,400 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
- 96% 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.
