“I’ve been using Amber for the last few months for work trips and personal travel and she’s so great! She’s very responsive and has been flexible with last minute Ute changes. She’s my go to every time I need someone to watch my dog.”
“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing! So professional, easy to work with, and genuinely kind. She kept me updated with the sweetest pictures and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Wrigley was clearly so happy and well cared for, which means the world to me. Communication was great the whole time, and I could tell she really went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Erin was absolutely amazing! She came and met our dogs before our trip and took notes. We got multiple updates and photos every day we were gone which was very reassuring. She was very professional and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer was the best! She watched our cat and senior dog for 9 day while we were out of the country. She sent us daily photos and updates and was so responsive to us. Our cat who is shy bonded with her immediately! And she was great paying special attention to our senior dog who can have medical issues from time to time. I would 100% recommend her! I will definitely rebook the next time we have to leave our girls.”
“Lulu was amazing! She gave Brew the very best care, with all the pets and love. She kept me updated several times a day with pictures of Brew! I would highly recommend her!”
“Desire once again did an amazing job taking care of my pup. Communication is on point. It is so nice to go on vacation and know my pup is getting loved and cared for. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets.”
“Lori did a great job staying with our pups! We had a last minute need to go out of town and decided to try Rover. Sure glad Lori was available! She kept us informed and provided pictures so we knew things were going well. We have already used her since to provide check-ins for the pups. Thank you Lori!”
“Otto was amazing!! It seemed like Jordy had a blast while we were out of town for a wedding. Otto was extremely responsive and sent many pictures! He also left the house so clean and took out the garbage for us! Totally unexpected and so sweet. We can’t wait for Jordy to see his new friend, Otto again!”
“Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”
“Lindsey watched my girls for a few days and took excellent care of them. She would text me and send pictures of them throughout the stay. I came home to happy dogs and a clean house! Highly recommend Lindsey and will be using her again in the future!”
“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”
“Our pets were happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved when we returned home. We especially appreciated Kristin’s attention to detail, reliability, and genuine affection for our animals. It’s clear she treats every pet as if they were her own.”
“This was our second time having Randall watch our pets. He is so kind and communicative. We get so many pictures and updates while we are away, and he goes above and beyond leaving our home clean and tidy - he folded some sheets from our dryer this visit! 10/10!”
“Another 10 star performance by Abby! There are very few people we would trust with our animals and our house for a week while we traveled overseas— Abby is at the top of the list! We received daily updates/photos and she took great care of our boys. Excellent communicator before and during her stay which gives us peace of mind. House was immaculate when we got home. Thank you Abby!”

Violet was great with our dog, Spotz. We appreciated the regular updates, and felt comfortable on our trip knowing that Violet was taking care of him. Spotz is an anxious, needy dog, so it takes a special person to deal with his antics. We are excited we’ve found a reliable person to care for Spotz when we’re away. Thanks, Violet!
I am so lucky to have found Stephanie. The care she gave Patches/Gilbert was more than I could have hoped for. The daily pics showed me my kitties were being well cared for. She also kept my wild birds fed. I would have Stephanie back in a heart beat. Thank you Stephanie!!!
Rachel was great! She did all the objective things well - was on time, fed and medicated correctly, etc. She was also a clear and consistent communicator, she took great photos, and my dog liked her (he's quick to go on a hunger strike if he's stressed but he ate well with her). My cat full-time hides when there's a human who isn't me in our house, but Rachel sent detailed updates on what she was able to observe (e.g., food consumed, frequency of litter box use). After I left, I realized I had forgotten to put the compost in my freezer into the bucket, so I texted Rachel to ignore the instructions about putting the compost bucket at the curb - Rachel responded by asking if the bin in the freezer was what needed to go in the bucket and said she'd take care of it, which was a huge help. We had a pretty bad storm while Rachel was here and she gathered up the many sticks and branches that had fallen all over my yard. Totally above and beyond!
Lily watched our dog for 5 days, and we were anxious to leave him, but she did a great job! She was very communicative and responsive, and she sent picture updates to show us how he was doing. We came home to a very happy dog and a clean house. I highly recommend Lily and will absolutely have her back to watch our dog!
Deidre did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog Blaze and providing updates on how my pup was doing! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about the process. Deidre was available for a meet and greet prior to accepting the house sitting request, which definitely helped me get comfortable. She sent photos and videos of Blaze playing fetch to brighten my days away (work trip) and confirmed I had made it home on the last day of my trip.
We have had Randy watch our puppy a few times now and we love him! He met her before their first sleepover and was very thorough with her intake so he knows all about her needs and our home. He also recommended we make a sitter cheat sheet which we have done and love, especially since she's a growing puppy and things are often changing. He always brings her a new little toy which she will proudly carry around and speak for days. He plays with her, walks her, loves on her, and let's her bask in the sunshine as much as her heart desires. He also fills out our dog log so we can keep track of all her activites and sends lots of photos so we don't miss her too much. We highly recommend Randy!
Jordan was wonderful with Maggie. She stayed in our home and took care of our girl just perfectly while we were away in Mexico. I've never left Maggie with anyone so it wasn't easy, but Jordan did an amazing job with her and even gave her some medicine Im confident that Maggie is safe, happy and well cared for with Jordan. Im currently booking her again.
I had the absolute best experience with Courtney & Sara. They stayed in my home for 10 days caring for my dog, Hero, and treated him like he was their own. Hero is an 11-year-old Weimaraner who can be pretty anxious and set in his routine, so leaving him is never easy for me. But from the very first meeting, I felt completely comfortable—and that peace of mind continued the entire time I was away. Courtney & Sara were incredibly reliable, communicative, and thoughtful in every way. They kept Hero on his normal routine, managed his special diet, and went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe and loved. They even brought him along on errands (including trips to the gym!) and sent me frequent updates and photos, which meant so much. One of my favorite touches—they got him a new ball that he absolutely loves! When I came home, Hero was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. The biggest sign of all? When Courtney & Sara stopped by again to puck up a cpl things, he was SO excited to see them. Hero is my world, and trusting someone with him is a big deal. These sitters made it effortless—I truly didn’t worry at all while I was away. I would rebook with them in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for people who will care for your dog like family.

FAQs for House Sitting - Prairie Village
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Prairie Village on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,746 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Prairie Village. 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 Village 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 Village 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 Village 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.

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.
