About: I have personally taken care of dogs and cats all throughout my life. Family and friends had me walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. I am available five to six days a week as I work from home. I am typically available and around during the weekend. I am willing to make adjustments if needed. I am very attentive and have to large dogs of my own so I am familiar with boundaries and typical needs. I will follow directions if left with me regarding particular rules or needs you may have.

About: I have taken care of pets for a long time. My neighbor had me dog sit last year for about 2 weeks and it was honestly the best experience. I have also had experience with feeding another neighbors dog once a day while they were at work. Hi! I’m home for the summer and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for walks and drop-ins. I love spending time with animals and will make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and affection! 🐾 I will easily follow every step that is given to me with rules and boundaries of what the pet can or can not do. I will not bend rules

About: From our family pets to neighbor pet sitting. I walk, play, bathe, and relax with pets at their homes or at the parks. I want them to enjoy the day and be able to explore around town on their walks. I’m currently working full time hybrid office opportunity. I am able to work from home and can spend time with the pets while working. I do have tax seasons where I am in office but can walk dogs during lunch time or on the weekends I am working from home and work is flexible with this. I follow any instructions given to me by the client on how to make their pet comfortable at their own home and be able to enjoy their time at home

About: Hi, I have been taking care of animals for over 25 years now. I also use to breed German Shepherds for eight years. I am a stay at home mom and Rover, is my full time job now that my kids are teens. I use to foster dogs and other animals before I had a family and worked on two farms, So I have a lot of experience with different types of breeds, temperaments, past abuse, and very skittish animals. I have much confidence when it comes to taking care of special case dogs, senior dogs, newborn/Whelping puppies and more. We live in a house with over two acres of land, with lots of lovely areas to walk, including a cemetery that is located over the fence in our yard. It has lots of roads that are quiet and safe. I find this great because they gets lots and lots of exercise, and its great for dogs that may be frightened of loud, busy streets, or leash reactive dogs. We also have doggie pools ,( when it's hot) if your pup loves water play! My German Shepherd and Papilions are highly trained and socialized . They are extremely well behaved, as well as amazing house dogs and companions to my autistic son. HOWEVER, your dog/s and my dogs will NEVER come in physical contact with each other. . We are highly active family, so lots of play and exercise fits in our schedule everyday. While hosting your pets at my house, they will receive the same attention and affection as if they were my own dogs. I always sleep in the same room as the pups ( unless told otherwise) to keep they company and comfortable during their stay. We will have lots of potty breaks, keep right on track with feeding schedule. Everyday we will have lots of play time, down relax time, and brain stimulating fun as well. I will take them on long walks at the cemetery that is behind the fence of our home. I ONLY do family boardings, I do not mix other family dog/s. I find no matter how socialized they are, being away from home on top of being with unfamiliar dogs can always have a possibility of disaster. My goal is to keep everyone safe! I will take up to 2 dogs from the same family. Thank you for understanding. I absolutely am an animal lover, and it's the only job that makes me feel happy, confident and I have such a passion for this work So your pets will become my family when they are with me. I will always protect them and care for them like they are my own. I will always send pictures and videos of your furbaby while they are in my care. I am very good at keeping in contact with of my clients via their choice of email, text message or phone/video calls. Please ask me as many questions as you like, I am eager to learn about your fur babies! My dogs are on strict, daily routine that doesn't interfere with my work schedule. However my dogs and your dog/s will not come in physical contact with each other. We have two wings of our home and the main house where are dogs are. Down the hall we have the ..... Huge Doggie Suite!! Equipped with a mini fridge for meds and wet food, with lots of toys, beds,blankets, a big doggie couch, Sink, Raincoats and snow jackets, AC AND HEAT. Lots of windows and sky lights, screen windows to slide open to get that fresh crisp air in the morning and gentle breeze at night. Spring and Fall are best for those times. But we will have fun all year round because I am a huge outdoors person. I also have doggie Tv playing everyday!!😊 My schedule most of the time will be wide open, which only a few days here and there that I won't be available. I will follow all your directions to a T, and you will never be disappointed by my services! I look forward to all my new pup and "hooman" clients.

About: My name is Katie and I have dogs of my own. With that being said, I understand that each pet truly needs unique and individual care. I am a teacher and have been for the past 13 years. I take care of pets in my spare time in order to earn some extra money. I can provide references upon request from families who had me take care of their dogs and cats in the past. Thank you for considering me as a potential care giver for your pet! I am a teacher so during the school year I am available late afternoons during the week and am also available on the weekend. I am more available during the summer. I care for pets of my clients the same way that I care for my own. The pets’ safety and well-being are my top priority.

It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs while babysitting for families, including feeding them, taking them outside, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m responsible, dependable, and would love the opportunity to help care for your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of openings between my classes. This gives me a lot of availability throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s normal routine! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable around me. I allow each animal to move at their own pace when getting to know me and give them the time and space they need to build trust. I never force interactions and will always respect your pet’s boundaries while making sure they feel cared for and loved.

About: I'm a huuuge pet lover! I have two cats of my own, routinely watch/walk my brother's dogs, and also volunteer at my local cat shelter every weekend. Cleaning up litter boxes, poop, hairballs, and puke are second nature to me haha! I also took care of my senior cat who lived to 23 years, so senior pets have a very special place in my heart. Rest assured your pet will be in great hands with me. :) I am remote 3x/week so my schedule is very flexible. I am often free any time of day (besides tuesdays & wednesdays) from 7am to overnights if needed. I'm flexible to all scheduling - just let me know! I do dog walks, dog feedings, cat feedings, and cat walks (if you are interested!) :) I will keep all pets company if youre just at work for the day or need a late-night stay for a date-night.

About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually

Taylor was so wonderful to our two dogs while we were away for the evening. She was also kind enough to work with us on a last-minute schedule change. Our dogs loved her and she communicated with us often while visiting. We can’t wait to have her visit next month as well!

Darya was amazing with our older rescue dog, Phil. She was very professional, prompt, and communicative throughout the time she was dropping in to take care of him. Phil was so calm and happy when we got home. She really went above the call of duty (so to speak)- our poor guy was nervous and made a big mess inside but Darya cleaned it up so well, I can’t even tell where he went!! She also came by before we left to meet him to make sure he was comfortable with her. Five stars aren’t enough!!!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Prospect

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Prospect on Rover is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,818 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Prospect. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Prospect 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!

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 .

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Prospect with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prospect. On Rover:

  • 95% 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.

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.
