“We have a high anxiety buddy who requires extra attention when going outside and CAundra did amazing with him. She sent pictures and updates which was perfect and he was so so loved the whole time. Our house was well taken care of and she was so helpful especially with our last minute booking.”
“Laine was amazing, she made sure my shy cat felt not only at ease but happy. My cat is usually shy but he is completely in love with her to the point that after I came back he kept looking for her!! She is the best pet sitter I've had far best, definitely will ask her to pet sit again in a second.”
“Mary was awesome!! This was my first time ever using this app or anything like this to watch my dogs. The experience was so great that this is the only way I will do it going forward and it will be Mary that I use. I loved the fact that she would send me pics so I could see them having fun! Thank you Mary you did an awesome job!!!”
“We left both our mini doxi for a week with Debbie! They love her so much and we never have to worry if they are getting taken care of. She sends daily photos! So thankful for Debbie to trust with our puppies while out of town!”
“Linda is a true animal lover. She bonded immediately with our orange tabby. She was even able to bond with our timid, young tuxedo kitty. Her love of animals is felt by our furry friends. I highly recommend Linda as a pet sitter. We're going to use her again. The kitties miss her already!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my family since I was 8 years old and I began dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 12. I completed animal behavior training at Kansas Humane Society and have volunteered as a dog walker and playing with the rescue dogs. I take special interest in understanding dog training and behavior and read and watch videos on these topics often. I currently work a normal 8am-5pm office job with a lunch break midday which I can use for a visit. I am completely available on weekends. I am happy to do overnight stays if needed. I have cats in my home and currently do not have a fence so I don't offer in home boarding for dogs. I am extremely attentive and detail oriented. I maintain tidy homes and happy pets. I truly enjoy cuddling and playing so your dog is in good hands with me. If we work together I will send a form to collect all the information needed to ensure I meet all of your needs and then we will do an introduction prior to the sitting.
“I can’t begin to express my praise for Tillie. I was so impressed the first time we met when she came to my home to meet my dog, Aspen, and I - she arrived on time, with a notebook and pen to take notes, asked thoughtful questions about Aspen’s care and my expectations, and she was so kind and personable. Aspen loved her right away as well. Tillie kept me frequently updated with pictures of Aspen, checked in with me, asked questions, and when I returned home Aspen was at ease. I really appreciated all of the kindness, care, and patience Tillie gave Aspen (and myself!). We adore Tillie and felt very comfortable inviting her into our home. We are looking forward to booking with Tillie again in the future.”
“Mandy did great under challenging circumstances. This was our first time using a sitter since getting the dog from the Humane Society a year ago, and the dog took us by surprise with stranger anxiety - not wanting to be touched or approached and urine accidents. I take the blame - In hindsight I should have arranged trial stay(s) many months in advance of our weeklong trip, not just a meet and greet a week in advance. Mandy handled it well. She persevered despite the accidents and communicated candidly with me about how the dog was reacting and problem-solved with me. She figured out how to let the dog out without approaching it, and kept both the dog and cat fed and watered, though walks were not possible. She even came to let the dog out over lunch on weekdays, which was above and beyond our original agreement. The cat loved Mandy - I thought the cat would be the one wary of strangers, and she let Mandy pet her by mid-week. Mandy was very tidy and conscientious and left the house in great condition. She even set out my bait when ants started coming in. Huge appreciation to Mandy.”
“Thankyou sooo much again harbor loved you! Nisa was able to provide us so much comfort in leaving our brand new adopted pup for the day !! Thankyou so much for coming and spending time with her and sending us pics throughout the day :)”
“Casey was amazing! My dog is a little high maintenance. She’s diabetic and needed insulin twice a day. Casey handled that like a pro. She sent lots of pictures and gave my pup lots of love. I appreciate the great job that she did and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
“UNBELIEVABLE!! Faith was amazing I only gave her a couple days notice and she was able to do it. She sent pictures of my cat and dog every day and when I got home, my house was cleaner than when I left it”
“Emily was so caring for our pets and left our house spotless. You wouldn't even know she stayed over for 3 nights. She checked in frequently and made sure to follow all of our instructions. We would love to hire Emily again to watch our pets.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly believe they deserve to be treated like family. I’ve owned dogs throughout my entire adult life and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you can’t be there. I’m a reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented person who will take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I currently offer dog walking, drop-in visits in your home, and boarding for one dog at a time in my home. I provide personalized, one-on-one care and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their stay. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and a detailed report after each visit or boarding stay so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: when you’re not home, I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Now that I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week, with only occasional appointments to work around. I have three dogs of my own who are a huge part of our family, and my 1-year-old daughter absolutely adores her dog sisters. She loves helping give them their daily treats and showering them with pets! Our days are already filled with lots of love for animals, and I’d love to extend that same care, attention, and affection to your pets. I can be flexible with scheduling and will always prioritize making sure your pets receive reliable, loving, and individualized care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for safe outdoor play, exercise, and exploring. My three friendly dogs are part of our family and can provide companionship for pups who enjoy furry friends, with introductions and interactions always handled carefully and supervised. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the day. Whether your pup is staying in our home, joining me for walks, or receiving care in the comfort of their own home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, playtime, cuddles, and rest while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking for local families, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medication when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat both with the same love, respect, and attention I give my own family, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I normally board our pups when we have to travel but decided to try Rovers house sitting service so my pups could be in their own home. This was an outstanding experience!! Kayla did an amazing job. Great communication and even sent pics throughout the week to keep us updated on how our pups were doing!! They got to play outside and even got walks!! Kayla, thank you so much for making this experience so awesome!”

Caundra did an amazing job watching my two dogs while I was on vacation! 🐶❤️ She took great care of them, kept me updated, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. My dogs were happy and well taken care of when I got back. I really appreciate everything she did and would definitely trust her with my dogs again. Highly recommend Caundra!

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 Prospect 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 Prospect 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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.
