“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!”
“She was great with our pups. One fairly energetic, but in need of calm because he was recovering from knee surgery, and the other a 17 year old diva who is mostly blind and mostly deaf. Will definitely book again.”
“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.”
“Lisa is fabulous! This is the first time we left our puppies to go away. Lisa took such great care of our babies. She was super attentive and would send updates throughout the day. I recommend her as a sitter and look forward to working with her in the future when we need care for our pups!”
“I'd definitely re-book Catherine for her house sitting services! She watched our golden-retriever puppy Maaza for more than a week and was always punctual, calm, gave our pup the attention she needed and took her for regular walks everyday. 100% recommend her services given how happy my pup was during her care.”
“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.”
About: I currently work at one of the top-rated doggy daycares in Elmwood Park, where I’ve had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have grown up around them my entire life, learning how to care for them with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. Working with dogs is something that comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, happy, and comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and cared for. I work morning shifts five days a week, typically from 6 AM to 1 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings open for pet care. My days off vary each week, but I’m flexible and love dedicating my free time to caring for animals. I’m available whenever I’m not working and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care. 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and completely at home. My own pets are my spoiled babies, and I make sure they have everything they need to live their happiest lives from plenty of playtime and attention to regular meals, potty breaks, and the freedom to be their silly, lovable selves. I create a calm, caring environment where pets can feel comfortable, be themselves, and know they’re in loving hands. When caring for someone else’s pet, I treat them with that same patience, affection, and care I would want for my own.
“was in a tough situation my regular dog walker had an accident and broke her leg and had to cancel last minute. my options where to board my dog or find a last minute person to dog sit. it was my first time uaing rover and Kreixon was the absolute best. He genuinely loves animals and went above and beyond the days he stayed with my dog. he communicated with me and gave me updates regulary on brownie and how he was doing. i would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or walker and wants someone who genuinely cares.”
About: I have been working with dogs for on and off for 13 years. I love all animals and go above and beyond for all of them. I enjoy walking, running, and hiking and would love to take your dogs with me. If your dog is not able to walk, run, or hike then I would not mind hanging with them in the yard. I also spoil any dog I am around with treats and all the toys I can (as long as it is ok with the owners of course). If you have any more questions about me please do not hesitate to ask me, I am very open and I truly do not know what else to say here. I'm currently working full time at a personal injury firm in Paramus but can take care of your puppies before and after work and on the weekends if need be. I can't have pets in my apt, I am very sorry for the inconvenience this might cause. But I can always come to you and your animals.

It’s clear how much you genuinely care about the animals you look after. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby! 🐾💕 I would absolutely recommend you and will definitely book with you again!”

“Alison was amazing with our dogs and the dogs loved her! She was ver communicative and sent tons of pics of the dogs having fun and on walks. 10/10 would recommend her! We will be using her again.”
“Rose was great! Ollie is a very anxious pup and is apprehensive with new people but he got on well with Rose right from the start! She took great care of him and was attentive to his needs. We’d happily have Rose stay with Ollie again!”
“Kate spent two weeks with our 17 year old cat, Hunter. For the first four nights she also cared for our 5 year old Labrador retriever, Orli. Kate provided daily updates & great photos. It was obvious from the photos that both Hunter & Orli were comfortable and relaxed with Kate. Kate had no problem giving Hunter his twice daily insulin injections & keeping him on his feeding/meds schedule. It’s a comfort to know your fur babies are well cared for when you are away. We will definitely book Kate again to care for Hunter & Orli!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Prospect Park
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!
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!
We’re so happy to have found Eilleen! She is reliable, communicative, and super friendly. We felt so comfortable leaving our Lucy in her care, and Lucy loved her so much! They had a great time snuggling and hanging out together. We will certainly be rebooking in the near future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Prospect Park is $20 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $20 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. 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 18,620 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
