About: I grew up around many animals, especially dogs! Breeds I’m most familiar with include shar-peis, pitbulls, rottweilers, and German shepherds! I’ve also taken care of bunnies, guinea pigs, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons, so no pet is too much for me! I just graduated university and am looking to return to university online to get a second bachelors degree, so I currently am not looking for a job and instead would love to be able to get out of the house and boost my serotonin by meeting people’s pets! I love cuddling with pets and seeing their personalities start to shine through as they get more comfortable! I love taking dogs on walks, seeing how long it will take a cat to choose to sit with me, and holding reptiles for as long as they like! Just being around a person’s pet while their owner is away makes me feel great since I know I’m giving the owner peace of mind while making a new friend.
“My doggos LOVE Christian. He’s attentive, is a great communicator and goes above and beyond. I truly feel like he loves our dogs like his own. We’re so glad we found him!”
“We got back and everyone appears to be happy and healthy. The house looks great and Emma took care of everything. While we were away Emma sent us photos and communicated when she had questions. Will definitely ask back again.”
About: I have been pet sitting for two dogs for the past 10 years. One is a 100-lb. yellow lab and the other is a 30-lb. Shiba Inu. I have watched both of them when they were sick as well. I play with them and stay for a while petting and cuddling them. I have had small to medium-sized dogs, kittens up to adult cats, fish, birds, rats, hampsters, and snakes. I currently have two bearded dragons and I frequently watch one dog and 2 guinea pigs. I live in a mother-in-law apartment connected to my daughter's home and we have a fenced back yard and miles of walking trails. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. My daughter has one dog who loves to be around other dogs. Since I have my own apartment connected to the house, any dog I board can mingle or not depending on his/her social needs. I am a nonsmoker and am available seven days a week. I am able to board up to 2 dogs. Thank you for your consideration! As I am semi-retired, pet care fits in anywhere needed into my daily and weekly schedule. The pets in my home are part of the family so their needs are always met. Since my kids are grown, I enjoy having pets around to keep me company. I am able to care for pets in my client's home or in my home. When caring for pets in my client's home, I let dogs out twice a day or walk twice a day, check water and food, clean up where needed, give medication if needed, groom if needed, and play for awhile so they have some human interaction. I am able to watch cats in my client's home but I can watch dogs in my home as well. I can watch reptiles in my client's home or in my home if client has a travel setup. For cats, I also clean out their litterbox. At my home, dogs are let out several times a day as I have fenced back yard. For dogs who need more exercise, I walk around the neighborhood. I can run for short distances with them and play fetch and tug-of-war in the backyard. I have 2 bearded dragons. For them, I make sure they have a salad daily and insects 2 to 3 times a week. My dragons go to the bathroom in the shower so they are put in the shower at least every other day. They get UVB light for half the day and I allow them to free roam in separate rooms the other half of the day. They also have a climbing wall up to the window so they can bask in the sun and they take turns riding in the car.

About: At home, I have my friendly mini dachshund, Elo, and our sweet kitten, Eve! They’re a big part of our family, and our home is full of love for animals. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time, play, and explore in a secure space. We also live in a friendly community, making our home a welcoming place for your pets. Over the years, I’ve gained lots of experience caring for animals and understand that every pet is different. Some want to play all day, while others just want a cozy spot to relax and someone to keep them company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply giving them extra patience and attention. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be hard, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for with love and attention. I’m happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away! I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make their time away from you as happy and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ I currently am home most days. I do work about three days a week and never more than four hours but my kiddos are home from school at 2pm so pets are never alone. I am available to work on your pets schedule. I have a fully fenced backyard and great pet friendly community. My puppy has his own gated off room so if your pup needs a break from playing he can roam about freely. We mainly have this area for my pup because he is still potty training. Our kitten sleeps in my daughter's room at night but she is out playing during the day. She tends to just say hello to other pets and let them be unless they want to play with her. Your pet will be in a very safe and fully nurtured space!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two dogs and a cat, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality and what makes them comfortable. My dogs are well trained and kennel trained, so I’m comfortable with routines, basic training, and giving pets the structure they need. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule while giving them plenty of love, playtime, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away I work from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I also enjoy taking breaks to play, give some attention, or go for walks when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I’ll follow their normal routine, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Since I work from home, I’m able to be around throughout the day and keep an eye on them. I’ll also make sure doors and gates stay secure and that your pet is always in a safe environment. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I’d give my own.
“Ashley and her son took wonderful care of our Golden retriever Milo and Kitty Kerplunk. They kept them active with walks and play time and plenty of cuddles. We loved the picture updates so we could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were well taken care of. The house was left clean and fur babies happy. I highly recommend Ashley to watch your furry family.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my strong foundation in professional animal care and my passion for creating stress-free, positive experiences for pets. I’m Fear Free Certified, so I’m trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals—especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. I’m also a veterinary professional where on a daily basis I deal with animal behavior, health, and basic care. This knowledge helps me better understand your pet’s needs, whether they’re a rambunctious puppy, a senior with special care requirements, or anything in between. I approach every animal with patience, empathy, and respect—and I truly treat them like part of the family. I usually am free 6 days a week! My schedule is based on where I am that day or what other gigs I have going on. I have reliable transportation and will be able to watch pets in their home if need be to avoid stress of car rides and new places. I am very attentive to each pets need, because just like humans, each pet is different!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Prairie Ridge
Shayla watched our two dogs for 4.5 days and house sat. She was very responsive, attentive and great with our two boys (lab and aussie). We felt good knowing our furbabies were in good hands while we were away. I would recomment Shayla to anyone who needs a reliable and compassionate dog/house sitter.
Carissa did such an amazing job watching my 2 pups for a week. I have one giant dog and one tiny one and they both love her. She sent plenty of pics and updates to let me know they were safe and happy. We are new to the area and don’t know many people so it is such a relief to be able to leave them and not have to worry.
Silvia is such a joy to work with! She cares for our beloved dogs as if they were her own. We were able to go on a vacation and not feel worried about the care of our dogs at all. Silvia communicated with me day and night and readily responded when I reached out. We will always choose to have Silvia care for our pups in the future and feel lucky to have her support!
We could not have asked for a better sitter! This was the second time we have used Beth and from the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear our dogs felt completely at ease — and that comfort only grew with every stay. When we came home both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved, which as a dog parent means everything to us. It's obvious this sitter has a real gift for making dogs feel safe and at home. I never once felt anxious leaving our dogs in her care, which is rare and so reassuring. We'll absolutely be booking again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog (or dogs!) like family.
Koresa was great. Very communicative. Billy had some medical issues that were unfinished before we left. Koresa was able to get him to our vet & complete his round of medication. We returned to a happy healthy dog . Koresa is very mature & responsible, We highly recommend her, & hope to have her come again in the near future.

The average cost of House Sitting in Prairie Ridge is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $105 per night.

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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prairie Ridge. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
