“My pup and I absolutely love Aimee! Aimee is such a sweetheart, and her love of animals is immediately evident. Leaving Dutchess, is always the most anxiety inducing part of any trip I have to make out of town that I don’t bring her with me. Aimee gave my consistent updates and pics of Dutchess throughout the weekend. Will absolutely continue to use Aimee, I feel confident in entrusting her with my pup’s care. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would!”
“This was our first time using Katherine for dog sitting our 8 year old lab mix, Gus. We needed someone on very short notice who was willing to stay at our house. Katherine was very responsive and flexible to our needs. Our plans were difficult to nail down and Katherine was easy going and adjusted the reservation without hesitation. While we were away she was outstanding at keeping us in the loop with pictures and videos of Gus. Getting those reminders that Gus was being well cared for, played with and well fed was a big relief. I would recommend Katherine to anyone and look forwards to using her in the future!”
“Alexandra was truly a perfect sitter! She stayed at our house with our two dogs, provided pics and updates throughout her stay letting us know how everything was going and left our house clean upon her exit. We would give her 20 stars if it was possible! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Melissa was wonderful with our new tiny Maltese puppy Penny. She was loving and patient with Penny and we look forward to having her come stay with Penny again in our home.”
“I am very happy to find Lisbeth, she takes good care of my dog Ruby. Ruby is a senior with weak legs and slightly difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Lisbeth.”
“Giselle is hands down the best sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond in every way. Our elderly cat, who is usually skittish with new people, took to, her right away. My dog Cody was smitten, and we felt at ease the whole time we were gone. The pictures we received each day were proof positive they were happy. Giselle has a real gift with animals. This was our very first Rover experience, and we hit the Jackpot with her!”
“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! 🐶 I currently have three dogs of my own and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my beloved senior dog who lived to be 17 years old. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how different each dog can be, from energetic pups who love to play and explore to older dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care. I’m attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, and I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! ❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide attentive, reliable pet care. I’m available on weekends and can accommodate a variety of schedules, including walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays when needed. I’m happy to work with each pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your pets, and I’ll treat every visit as an opportunity to give them the same love and attention I would give my own. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, exercise routine, and any house rules their family has in place. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and always make sure to leave things clean and just as I found them. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention while you’re away!
“Florence was very nice and great at communicating with me. She was very flexible on my schedule which was very helpful for my trip over July 4th weekend. She sent great pics and videos of my dogs, too, which is always calming when away. Would recommend!”
“Milena stayed at our house with our 2 dogs and she was great! We came home to happy dogs and a clean house! She kept us posted with pictures and updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!!”
“The dog was happy and the place was standing. In the end that's all that matters but a decent person who communicates well with an honest smile on their face and a personality to match makes the whole thing run smoother.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I got my first dog when I was seven years old, and since then, dogs have always been an important part of my family.

I’m happy to follow their regular feeding, walking, playtime, and daily routines. I can also provide photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority! I’m a cosmetologist and correctional officer with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding times, playtime, and each pet’s usual routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure their environment is clean, secure, and comfortable.

“Alexander did a great job caring for my two elderly pets. He made sure my cat got his medicine and my dog went out frequently and ate his food. He was very communicative and responded quickly. Overall, I’m very satisfied and will definitely use him again if needed.”
“Yanni was amazing with Harley and Ellie! She made a point to meet us and meet the dogs before our stay. She had her hands full with an older dog with heart issues and thunderstorm anxiety and a younger dog with destructive tendancies! Yanni was able to make sure both were happy and healthy while we were gone. She went above and beyond to keep me in the loop with what was happening, how everyone was getting along, and picture updates. Yanni even made sure to go back to the house after the stay was over to make sure Ellie got her medication for thunderstorms when storms rolled through before we got home. Her thoughfulness made a huge impression on me and she truly cares for animals. I highly recommend Yanni and will use her again when we go out of town.”
“Leticia was AMAZING!! She gave us updates everyday and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. One of our pups had a muscle flair up and she was incredible with her to help and care for her!! She loved our pups and treated our home with just as much care & respect. I hope she will agree to watch our pups again and again as we need. The greatest words we can say are THANK YOU!!”

About: I've grown up around MANY cats and a dog most of my life. I’ve also helped out my family and friends were taking care of their fur babies when they’re on vacation. I currently work a 9 to 5 but I am available before or after that time. I can also stop by in the middle of the day. I’m also completely free on weekends! I live alone now, but I grew up living with anywhere from 3 to 9 cats, 1 dog, 2 birds who are rescues that (as you can imagine) have very different personalities. We had a set routine for them which I believe gave them enough stability and consistency to let them flourish and be comfortable in the spaces we shared. My family and I made it a priority to keep our cats healthy, happy, and well taken care of.

FAQs for House Sitting - Prospect Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Prospect Park on Rover is $19.98 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 18,711 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Prospect Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 Prospect Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
