“Leslie is next level. Our dog is quirky and can be anxious, and she handles him with oodles of patience and kindness. She has a great sense of humor about his eccentricities, and I feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. She sent me loads of updates and pictures, which gave me a ton of comfort and peace.”
“Second time leaving the pup with Kristi's care and she did wonderful. House was in same or better shape then when I left and the dog seemed happy and relaxed when I returned. She has great communications and when an issues came up she was informative and we provided the solution and she gave the meds as directed. Will definitely trust her again with our dog in the near future.”
About: I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends! I'm currently working a part-time job typically working 15-25 hours a week. I usually work morning shifts ranging from 10:30-5 or 11:00-5:00, but sometimes get off an hour early depending on the day. If I need to stay for the majority of the job, please let me know at least a month in advance; I will gladly ask off! I will inform you of my schedule when we talk! :) I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!
“Samantha did an awesome job taking care of my pet. She she came over a few days early to meet with him and go over what he needed. The day of she was in constant contact with me and gave me up dates all day long. I was happy to leave him with someone so loving and caring. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“Everything went very well! Aiden kept in touch with me, sending pictures of the boys, which helped me feel better about leaving them. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs.”
About: Taken care of and lived with multiple family dogs since I was a child but I’ve taken care of my own dog personally for the last 7 years. I currently only work 3 shifts a week so I am available to take care of and board your pets! I have a lot of free time which means your pet will have all the attention and love they desire. I live in an apartment, which means I have no fence in the yard, but there is a lot of open grass area near me.
“Dawn was amazing! This was my first time ever using a pet sitter and I was a little anxious, I was worried my dogs might not behave perfectly and I was generally nervous about someone coming and staying at my house while I was not there. Dawn is an exceptional person and when we met up for a meet and greet, I told her about my fears and she was very understanding. She helped to settle my concerns and she even came over to my home a little early to meet with my animals and to allow them to acclimate to her presence. THEN, she proceeded to send me pictures and updates on my babies while I was away. 10/10. Absolutely adore her. My babies loved her and I will be using her services in the future, if I have to go somewhere and I can’t take my animals.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature. I’ve pet sat for friends and family, including caring for my friend’s dog during trips and helping care for my partner’s dogs while she’s in nursing school. I’ve also looked after a kitten. I make sure every pet is fed, gets plenty of exercise and potty breaks, stays clean if bathing is requested, and receives lots of love, attention, and patience.

“Brandon is an amazing dog sitter! He treated all of our dogs like his own and was super dependable. He came over and met the dogs prior to his first stay with them and got along great. He isn’t afraid of asking questions and is very kind. We will definitely be using him again.”
“Kennedi was an absolute godsend for me and my family!!! I have older dogs that I never leave, and it was so comforting knowing that she was with them so we could finally take a vacation. She really went above & beyond for us and even stayed an extra night. She's just as sweet as she can be & took great care of my 3 fur babies for an entire week. She stayed in contact each day with texts and photos AND the house was spotless when we returned home from a long car ride, I mean how good is that!?! We will 1000% be having her back if she'd like!”
“Ami is an absolutely FANTASTIC sitter. I wanted to gatekeep how incredible she is so she doesn't get too booked up :). She took such incredible care of my dog while I was out of town and gave me tons of updates. I felt like I never even left my little guy with how fabulous her communication was. She also took great care of my house which is huge for us given how much we travel. 10/10 will be using Ami again for many sits in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would be honored to care for your furry family members. Growing up, I was surrounded by both large and small dogs, as well as indoor and feral cats, so I’m comfortable with a variety of personalities, needs, and energy levels. My professional background is in senior care, where I coordinated care across West Louisville and served as an Activities Director in several local senior living communities. Those roles taught me the importance of patience, reliability, communication, and treating every individual with kindness and respect. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, a calm presence, or just someone dependable to keep their routine on track, I’ll treat them like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My 2-year-old loves dogs, and caring for pets is a sweet way for our family to spend time with animals while providing them with a loving, comfortable home environment. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but my kids and I are very active and love going on walks, spending time outdoors, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family with a safe, comfortable space to relax, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, meals and medications given exactly as instructed, and lots of love and supervision. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and can accommodate crate-trained pets if needed. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet is comfortable in their familiar environment while providing reliable walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, litter box or potty cleanup, and any medication or special care they need. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Jon was awesome with our pups! From setting up a meet-and-greet to the day we returned, he was super communicative, punctual, and beyond accommodating with our schedule. Not to mention, an A++ house guest. We would definitely have him as a sitter again!”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs since I was a child. I’ve been around all types of dogs big and small love them all. I have lots of experience with senior dogs (such as giving multiple types of medications) I am not currently working at the moment so I am free basically 24/7. I’m also available for any last minute bookings I do not mind short notice. I would care for your pet in anyway needed in your home whether that be letting them out in a fenced in back yard or taking them out on a leash.
“Jessie took fantastic care of our dog while we were out of town. He’s a little stubborn at times and she was patient and caring with the dude. Also a fantastic house guest as well!! She’s the best!!”
About: I’ve had all type of pets from sugar Glider’s dogs ferrets fish for over 10 years I love all kind of animals yours to . Pet care naturally fits into my everyday life because I enjoy building my schedule around giving animals the attention and care they deserve. I have the flexibility to provide dependable visits throughout the day for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make reliability a priority. Caring for cats isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s spending time playing with an energetic kitten, keeping a senior cat comfortable, or simply providing quiet companionship for a shy cat, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. We have a high privacy fence with big back yard where they will play with our dogs and play ball tug-of-war and other fun games
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was young rather it be neighbors, friends, or family! I’ve always enjoyed the work and I’m looking to expand my pet friends! I currently work full time so most of my visits to homes will have to be in the evening or weekends, but if you choose to select me to sit I do have a partner that will care for you pet on the opposite schedule of mine. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own! I also have a room in my house dedicated to the pups! Saftey is a top priority for us.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Prairie Village on Rover is $78.26 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 751 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prairie Village. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
