“#1, Megan is a caring individual, weather concerning my Sadie or myself. She showed genuine interest from our first meeting. Sadie, on our return was content and calm, the house was spotless and all in order. We will defiantly use Megan again and again!”
“Courtney is an excellent, caring, and attentive dog sitter. During our meet and greet, it was clear she is highly experienced and skilled at caring for pets and animals in general. She watched my two rescue Yorkies in our home for over a week. My two dogs are not easy, as they have behavioral issues and often have tummy issues when I’m away traveling. Courtney was so great about communicating with me, keeping me posted on how the dogs were doing, and would ask thoughtful questions if something seemed potentially off with one of the dogs or if they may not be feeling well. It was also clear that Courtney treated our house like her own. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional pet sitting care for their pet!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟”
“There are not enough good things to say about our experience with Alex. I am normally a basket case with just leaving LeeLoo but now we have our 3 month old, Zeppelin, whom we cannot board. Alex was beyond attentive to their needs, schedules, and our instructions. He is very respectful and knows animal behavior. Our home was left in the same (actually better) condition than when we left. He provided updates frequently. But most of all, when we got home… the dogs weren’t even that excited to see us 😂😂😂😂. They were comfortable and cared for extremely well. Will be booking Alex again for sure.”
“We were so nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger. Epiphany was so professional and came and met our dog beforehand to calm our nerves. She came into our house and immediately sat on the floor, loving on our dog. She was fantastic. Our dog had a small bruise on his ear. She was so attentive it was monumentally better when we returned. She was flexible, calm, attentive and professional. Your pets will be in great hands!!!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Lucrecia is great, second time having her to house sit and watch our puppies. Our dogs love hanging out with her and we feel very confident leaving our pups in her care.”
About: I'm a huge animal lover from my dog, Kyro, my cats, Mijo and Chicken to my parrot, Rico and bunny, Bean. Ive taken care of animals for as long as I can remember from all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahuas to Border Collies to Greats Danes and all their little puppies. As well as Tabby Cats and more maintenance longed haired cats like Maine Coones! I do well with exotic animal as well and a fast learning to your animal's needs. I am also able to help and care for more elderly or special animals from experience of my own animals. I have animal sat before, but looking to expand on Rover!! I have a lot of flexibility and availability for pet sitting I'm on summer break right now and have a good amount of time on my hands, and once school starts up in the fall only go Tuesdays and Thursdays until 12pm! All of my animals are free roam were slowly introduced to each other to keep to peace! I have my dog, 2 cats and a bunny who all live in the house together while the parrot chills in the house but likes to be garage with my dad.
About: I have over two years of experience working as a kennel technician at a cat/dog boarding facility. I’m able to care for pets of all ages with all different kinds of health issues, including administering shots and medications. Talk to me about any questions or concerns you might have, and we can figure it out from there. Pet care is my priority right now, so I will have plenty of time to care for your loving fur baby. This includes play time! Allowing pets to stay in their own environment while owners are away is an excellent way to reduce your pet’s overall stress. I’m able to check in on your pet as many times as needed during your time away. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is my number one goal!
About: I have taken care of multiple animals like cats and dogs and even fish I love all animals and make sure there okay and loved I'd say it fits pretty I care for fish that have to be fed everyday and other exotic animals that have to be fed and cared for quite a bit.I used to own a Dog but sadly he passed away last month but he had a very loving and fun life and I adored that dog with all my heart I enjoy playing with and spending time with any animals I own as we'll as making sure they get some time outside and being fed and getting the medicine they may need and just all that
“Michelle did a fantastic job in caring for Chloe and Gus. They are a “handful” and she handled them with loving care! Michelle sent me texts and pictures throughout the stay to let me know everything was going well and the pups were having fun. The house looked great when we returned and she even left me a sweet Thank You Note. I have Michelle scheduled for two additional stays in the near future. It is so nice to know our babies are well taken care of while we are gone. I can not recommend Michelle more highly?????”
About: Most people see a cute, silly, playful baby, but we see that AND personality! Every animal has their own language, their own stories, and their own little world, and our job is to learn that world to help them feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. Our names are Kaeli and Will, and we’re a young husband and wife animal care duo with years of hands-on experience working with peoples’ four-legged (or no-legged, two legged, or 6+ legged!) family members. We’ve worked professionally together in daycare, boarding, kennel care, and canine behavior environments, caring for hundreds of dogs with all different personalities, needs, and temperaments. Our experience includes: working with puppies learning the world around them, senior dogs needing extra patience and accommodations, large breeds and high-energy dogs, shy, anxious, fearful, and behaviorally complex dogs, and dogs requiring medication and specialized care. Through the years, we’ve gained a great deal of knowledge on animal behavior, body language, positive reinforcement techniques, enrichment, and creating safe interactions based on each animal’s comfort level. We understand that trust is earned, not forced. Our care experience also extends beyond dogs; we share our home with three cats, a large dog, and reptiles. We understand that every species communicates differently, and requires careful attention to their unique environment. We don’t just have professional experience though, in our younger years we each pet/ house sat whenever a family friend or neighbor needed the assistance. We are experienced with walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, feeding routines, refreshing water, enrichment, cleanup, oral medications and subcutaneous injections (between the shoulder blades), basic pet care needs and house-sitting tasks, cats who need patience and trust, and reptiles, amphibians, and other unique family critters! Our passion is getting to know WHO your animal is, so when you leave your sweet little baby with us, you have peace of mind knowing they are being cared for by people who notice the little things! We also have experience with some light grooming as well: baths, brush outs, nail trims (with a dremel and clippers), teeth brushing, and ear cleaning, so if you or your dog has a favorite shampoo, a preferred brush, or doesn’t mind a little nail trim, we can assist there as well! My husband and I are recently unemployed in the attempt to become self employed, so we have a completely open schedule and unlimited time to care for your pet needs! We are available for late night, overnight, frequent drop-ins, daily walks, and longer stays during the day. At our own home, we have a two bedroom duplex with a huge fenced in backyard that our big, goofy Pyrenees mix, Unagi, loves to patrol and hang out in several times a day. We also have lots of cat toys and towers/ scratching posts for our three cats to explore, play with, and have ultra fast paced races all around the house! In client’s homes, we conduct ourselves with the utmost respect, integrity, and professionalism- ensuring we follow all guidelines and expectations. If we were to have any comments, questions, or concerns we would let the client know with clear and respectful communication. In the case we would be spending the night or making late night visits, we would ensure a quiet and calm environment, taking into consideration any neighbors or sensitivities your pet in our care may have, and making sure your home is treated with the utmost dignity. This is YOUR space, and we want to help you have the most relaxing peace of mind you can achieve!
“Keana was amazing!! She loved our fur babies, sent updates and pictures, left our home in perfect order and did everything we asked!! We are already setting up our next appointment. Keana is kind, attentive and transparent. Couldn't have asked for a better fit!”
“Olivia is an incredible pet care taker! She is very communicative, sends updates and pictures, takes amazing care of our pets and our home! We feel so lucky to have found her!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Grace! We have an anxious pup who doesn’t always give love willingly. Grace must be a dog whisperer because her and our pup hit it off immediately! It was great receiving photos and activity updates throughout the day. Especially the ones of our pup glued to Grace’s hip! Grace also stayed at our house and left everything cleaner than we left it! Grace provided us with an awesome first Rover experience and we hope she will be our go-to for future trips!”
“Yordanos is so sweet & friendly, my dogs who are very aloof were comfortable with her almost instantly. She gave me constant updates with photos and kept my house nice and clean during her stay. When we got back from out of town, I needed an extra day for someone to watch the dogs, and re-booked her right away. Best dog sitter!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 , from babies to raising them into seniors. I’ve grown nothing but love for dogs as well as being trusted to dog sit for family members and i hope you will trust me too! I am a college student at TXST University but i’ve got free time on my hands and don’t mind studying anywhere. Mondays-Wednesday i’m pretty busy but starting Thursday-Sunday Im overly free. I care for my pets by giving them lots of love and attention. I feed , bathe , and take them out when needed of course , and I always love letting my dogs run around and just be free ! Never letting them cause a mess or ruin anything of course.
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
“We are beyond impressed with the incredible care our two dogs and cat received while we were away! From the moment we booked, Peyton was communicative, attentive, and professional. She sent us regular photo updates, called right away with any concerns, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy, safe, and loved. Our dogs got plenty of playtime and exercise, and even our shy cat seemed completely at ease. We came home to a spotless house—honestly, it was cleaner than when we left it! We’re so grateful for her dedication and warmth. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already planning to rebook with her in the future. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
About: As a veterinary technician at an ER clinic, I care for hundreds of dogs and cats each year and have hands-on experience with medication administration, injections, diabetic pets, seizure disorders, special-needs animals, post-operative care, anxious or fearful pets, training staff on protocols, and teaching fellow fosters as well as adopters on animal care and behavior. I am also an accomplished foster who has hosted everything from queen cats nursing kittens to weaned kittens, puppies, dogs, and senior animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities and I approach every animal with fear-free handling! Lifelong animal lover and former small business owner, I've spent years working with animals of all kinds through veterinary medicine, 4-H, fostering, and therapeutic horseback riding programs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, and Blink cameras throughout my home help me monitor pets whenever I'm away briefly. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and individualized attention. Located near nature trails and a large enclosed outdoor area, I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your furry family members can relax, play, and feel right at home. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to take breaks as needed throughout my work days. I do not work on weekends, so I am always at home to attend to the critters! I am also available holidays. With experience caring for orphaned animals daily, including those requiring medications and specialized care, I prioritize your pet's health, safety, and happiness. My flexible schedule, attentive monitoring, and pet-friendly space with enrichment activities, cozy resting areas, and nearby outdoor access ensure your beloved companion receives compassionate, professional care while you're away. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,799 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Prairie Lea. 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 Prairie Lea 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 Prairie Lea 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 Prairie Lea 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 Prairie Lea. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
