“C'Aundra stayed with our pup for a second time, and we're so glad she did! We are so appreciative of her flexibility and support for Wynnie, who was recently injured and needed some additional care including medication and leashed potty/outside time.”
“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 love animals and enjoy any time I get to spend with them. Even though I don’t have much experience pet sitting other than caring for our family dog, I’m looking forward to meeting new furry friends! I’d love to keep them safe, happy and making sure they are comfortable and cared while their parents are away! I'm currently staying at home, so I have plenty of time to provide full-time care for your pets! Potty breaks are available throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for your pets to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. I provide a safe , clean environment where pets can feel at home. We also have a puppy and two kids at home so I understand the importance of supervision and making sure all pets are safe. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets routine to make the stay/care as comfortable as possible.
“Samantha took great care of my pups! She provided lots of pictures and took them on many walks! My dogs always enough any time Samantha takes care of them! This is my second time booking with her and it won’t be my last!”
“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.”
“Linda took great care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She met with us beforehand to ease our anxious dog, and communication was great throughout. Highly recommend and will definitely hire again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ari! She watched our dogs and cat for 9 nights while we were on vacation, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Ari took great care of them and kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs. We really appreciate everything Ari did and would absolutely trust her to watch them again.”
“Faith did an amazing job with our three puppies!! She was very attentive with pictures and updates. We felt very comfortable being away and knowing our puppies were being well taken care of. We would definitely have Faith come again to take care of our puppies.”
“Corie was amazing with our kitten and incredibly respectful of our home. She sent beautiful pics of our sweet girl throughout the evening as she kept her in her usual routine. We are so appreciative of Corie and will be repeat clients if she’ll have us!”
About: I have done rescue work for dogs. I actually have two dogs of my own one. I saved from the Humane Society and one I saved for a rescue who is going to be put to sleep for no reason. I am currently not working so I would be home all of the time with them. They would get all the attention in the world. We have a a fenced in backyard that they would be able to run around in and the cats would be kept inside and fed. What food daily if you please. I have a fenced in backyard and two very very friendly dogs who love new friends. Your dog would be very loved and taken care of. I also have four cats who love to have new friends in they would be very loved and taken care of and would not be let outside at all

“Julie did so good with our three fur babies! We had a bad Rover experience in the past and we were hesitant to try again but she made all our worries go away. She sent updates with the cutest pictures and we will definitely be using her again!”
“This is the third time Sophia watched our pets and each time she does an absolutely stellar job. We have an old doggo with anxiety that sometimes need a little extra TLC and Sophia went above and beyond to make her comfortable. As long as she’s pet sitting we will gladly employ her to watch our babies.”
About: Hello! My name is Kiara. I am an animal lover, whole heartedly. Helping animals has always been a goal of mine and I’m wanting to build up my experience to become a Dog Trainer. I understand that dogs need the right amount of attention, they need to be watched for sure, and be respected and treated the same way you’d treat a human being. I’ve been wanting to be more motivated to walk and I assure you walking a dog is enough motivation! I’d love to be a helping hand and I’m happy to work with you if you have special requests. For more information feel free to contact me via number or email! Thank you and I hope you’ll show interest in me as your walker and/or sitter! I am working Full time. My hours are 3pm-11pm, with every other Monday off one week, and every other Wednesday the other weeks. I can provide care in Valley Center and Newton. I am very responsible when it comes to watching animals. I pay attention to when they need to go out, or when they just want to cuddle ;)
About: I have worked closely with foster and rescue dogs for the last 7 years so I am very experienced when it comes to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I have done it all from feeding, bathing, walking as well as administering medication. I am very kind, caring, and loving and I'll treat your animals as if they were my own! I work with pets every day so I am usually always available. I can also be flexible to ensure that it works with your schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own that are my pride and joy so I know how important it is to have someone you trust be able to take care of your pet. I promise to make sure your fur baby is loved, exercised, fed and watered while in my care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Prospect is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 per night. On Rover, 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prospect. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
