“Candace was great! My husband and I just moved to the area and we’ve never had a non-family member take care of our fur kids. Needless to say I was nervous! Candace did an amazing job communicating with us before and throughout her stay. From her daily pictures we could see she kept the kids on their routine and they seemed to be so happy while we were away. We will definitely book Candace again for our next trip!”
“Kellie did a great job of communicating with us. We appreciated the pictures of our pup and her enthusiasm for taking good care of him. We will definitely request her services again.”
“Alyssa was amazing! We have an elderly 15 year-old Jack Russel who needs a lot of care, and she did a great job looking after him. She also did house sitting while we were away, and the house looks better than we left it. Highly recommend. I will definitely ask her to sit for us again. Thanks!”
About: I have a tremendous love and respect for all animals. My attentive nature surges when in the presence of any animal… they are all I care about! I have been taking care of my family and friends pets for years! I can do special instructions with medicine for animals as well. I am currently working at Starbucks as a barista. My store that I work at is only 5 mins from my apartment. My shifts are normally no longer than 6 hours, and my boyfriend is home full time as well. Besides from work I am always home! I live in a cozy apartment with two of my own little kitties! I have a soft, large, playpen enclosure for your pet if needed, but my kitties are pretty friendly!
About: hi there! Im Dylan and I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs, and I can't have one of my own right now so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I'm very understanding of dogs that are a little more anxious, and provide them with a calm presence during the stay. Your pet is your family, and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. I'm responsible, creative, and have been described as an old soul. I love meeting new people and dogs-and being a part of a thriving community. When your dog is with me, they'll get lots of one on one attention, and lots of love ! Im currently free anytime any day during the week. So whatever works for you is great to me. Monday through Friday even weekends are fine. I provide safe, and fun interactions with all pets I look after. I am respectful of all pet owners and their pets and am able to follow any specific care instructions set forth. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! And updating you on how the sitting is going ! I have no fenced yard. But well enough of space to keep your pup occupied and having fun ! Friendly neighborhood safe environment for your pup !
“We had an amazing experience with Alivia and would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter! She took such good care of our dog while we were gone. He’s kind of anxious around new people and she was so kind and patient with him, she sent us videos of him wagging his tail and being goofy :)”
“Ryessa was wonderful with our dog, Minion, and our cat, Creature. She was communicative, responsive, and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was easy to work with, took excellent care of our pets and home, and made the entire experience stress-free. We really appreciated her reliability and clear communication. We would happily book with her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up loving, training, and taking care of pets of all ages since I was little! I’m a very reliable and caring pet sitter and your baby will be treated like family with me! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks or just some company, I’m beyond happy to match their energy, routine, and needs. 🩷 I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m usually free all day on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and the other week days I normally get off work around 2 pm! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which allows me to give your pets lots of love and attention when needed. 🤍 I know many pets feel most comfortable at home, so I’ll ensure to create a calm, loving, and safe environment while you’re away. I’m committed to following feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any other specific care preferences to help keep your pet happy and stress-free.
“We were in a real bind to get a sitter and she was able to help us at the last minute. She took great care of both of our dogs and even washed some of their blankets while we were gone. Would recommend her again!”
“Natalya was very friendly, communicative, and took good care of the pets and house. I really appreciated her picture updates, and she even took my dog on an extra trip to the park! Would definitely re-book”
“We have hired Addie before and greatly appreciate her! She is reliable, responsible and took care of our senior dogs, home and garden so we could take a worry-free vacation. She communicates well, left our house clean, and followed the directions we left for her. We look forward to hiring Addie again!”
About: I'm an animal lover. I had dogs and cats and mainly had just dogs/cats in the past. I've always wanted to take care of animals. Even starting out as a walker/sitter it’s fun to be able to help I live in a house with a yard and they do allow animals. I will make sure they will not be able to escape. I will never forget to feed them. Play with them. Take them out whenever they need to go. I will keep the owners up to date with everything involving their pets. I have a small back patio but the place does have a big dog park! I do want to put that making a list of things that you normally would do with your pet, fill free to write down and tell me. Any questions at all ask me. Please review on booking me. Currently unemployed and my first time being pregnant! So I am looking into making some income someway before starting back up work but I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! And or cats! I’m available for walking/ check ins any time of day(I’ll be a bit slow but definitely high energy for the furry ones! I’m great at providing whatever needs fit, either high energy for a young pup or a low casual exercise for those senior babies lol :) If I were to care for someone’s pet in their home I’d make sure to bring extra items for their pets like extra food bowls, walking harnesses/leashes or food.
“Thank you Phillip so much for coming and staying and housesitting with my two dogs lolly and Putter. You gave them excellent care took care of my household and everything looked beautiful When I got home. You kept in touch with me sending me pictures. You’re the best and I will absolutely request you again. Thank you so much. I so appreciate you.”
“Justin was kind and attentive to our dogs. He had his hands full with 2 puppies, who are full of energy; however he was undaunted and quickly "made friends" and calmed them! Also, our service dog immediately warmed-up to Justin, and she is very particular! Justin sent us pictures to let us know that all was well, and that was a welcome surprise! We have already scheduled another sitting date with Justin, and look forward to positive, on-going care for our beloved pets.”
“Cassandra did a wonderful job caring for out babies. She arrived on time , sent pictures , kept us updated on how they were doing ! When she came to do greet to meet our pets went to her immediately which they only do for someone they like and trust .that in itself was the top thing important to us. She is sitting again for us again and it feels good to have a pet sitter you can trust and know your babies are happy and loved .when we moved we lost the ones we had prior that was so hard to leave they as well were the best .it took us 2 years to finally find a new one .I highly recommend her !”

FAQs for House Sitting - Pratum
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pratum. 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 Pratum 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 Pratum 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 Pratum 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 Pratum. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 89% 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.
