About: I have 2.5 years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant/Technician at a family owned animal clinic operated by a mother and son team. In my role, I assisted with patient care, administered medications as directed by veterinarians, monitored animals during treatments and procedures ,educated pet owners on proper care all awhile treating all animals like my own! I have experience working with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical needs. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize signs of illness or distress and provide attentive, compassionate care. I am dedicated to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time during the summer and have 2 hour lunch breaks which gives me the time to walk or give your furry friends a potty break! I’m also free almost every weekend! I’m willing to be flexible to make sure your dog/cat is taken care of :) Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With 2.5 years of veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those with special needs. I follow each pet's routine closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep owners updated with photos and messages.

“Linda was fantastic! She took care of our dogs and house while were away and updated us too. She was great with our dogs and we were happy to know they were being taken care of. She left the house in perfect condition and we appreciate being worry free during our trip.”

“We had only a few days to find a sitter and Casey came to our rescue! Our babies loved her and she was super sweet to meet us, and our 2 girls, within 24 hrs after we requested a pet and house sitting. Also awesome to know that Casey's a vet tech and understands our needs of an older dog. Thanks again Casey! Definitely 5 stars! Randy, Denise, Delilah and Sammy 🐾🐶”

“Ellen does such a great job taking care of our pets! This is the second time she has watched our dog and even though he is so anxiety ridden and sometimes more high maintenance, I know he’s in such great hands. Our house is well taken care of as well. It’s awesome to know that when we leave everything is well taken care of.”

“Eileen was awesome! She took great care of my dogs and sent photos/videos many times a day which was so nice. I even came home to brownies! Thank you so much, Eileen. I will definitely book you again!”
“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.”

“Ingrid is the best. She is our go to for dog sitting. She takes care of our boys as if they are her own. Her experience and knowledge really showed over the 4th of July week as our husky has a hard time with fireworks. She helped him feel more at ease during through out the week when the fireworks were constantly going off. She also made sure to communicate with us during this time so that we knew he was doing alright. We love Ingrid and our boys love her as well. We will definitely continue to keep booking her!”

She sent regular updates, photos, and even little notes about my cat's behavior, which brought me so much peace of mind. It was clear they genuinely cared, and my cat was so content and well looked after. I will definitely book with them again! - Very nice having someone Thai reliable in the area!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Prospect
CAundra did a wonderful job! This was my first time booking on Rover and I couldn’t have chosen a better sitter for Cora. Cora is very shy around strangers and she was kind and she was patient with Cora. CAundra Sent photos to me every day, which made my having to leave her all day Much easier. They made a lot of progress in getting to know each other in the three days that she spent with Cora. I definitely would recommend her to anyone unreservedly. And next time I need a pet sitter I will definitely hire her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Prospect
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Prospect on Rover is $33.86 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 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Prospect. 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 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.
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 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 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.
