“Paz took copious notes during our initial meeting. She was on time and took great care of our energetic puppy. Paz checked in daily and texted picks of our puppy on walks, getting meals and cuddles. I miss my dog terribly when I'm away traveling, but it was comforting to know she was well loved in my absence.”
“Laura was absolutely awesome! Laura truly was the best! She took the very beat care of our home and dogs. Our dogs (who are a bit needy and one special needs) had a smooth and seamless transition into her care. She was thought forward, kind, caring, diligent and followed all our dogs care needs and schedule perfectly. She treated our pups and our home as her own and we are so GRATEFUL! We feel so blessed to have met her and to have her care for our beloved dogs. We were very impressed & our dogs were never so calm upon our return ever. She is wonderful and comes highly recommended and we definitely hope to use her again.”
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
“Caris was the BEST! We were leaving town on short notice and Caris didn’t hesitate to watch our boy for the first time. I knew from the moment I met her and she met Oliver, that he would be well taken care of. She sent photos and updates every day, many times per day which put me at ease. I would definitely recommend Caris to anyone!”
“Kai and Devon were wonderful! They accepted my request on short notice to care for our two cats on Christmas Day. They scheduled a meet and greet a few days prior to the visit which helped reassure us that our cats were in good hands. On the day of the visit they arrived promptly and were communicative from beginning to end. I highly recommend Kai and Devon and would definitely book them again in the future!”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all variety, including puppies, kittens, senior pets, and animals with medical or special care needs such as bladder issues and routine medications. I’m very attentive to detail and comfortable maintaining specific care instructions so pets can stay on their normal routine and feel secure and engaged. I also have extensive experience house sitting and entering homes independently through TrustedHousesitters. I’m respectful, reliable, and highly responsible, and I understand the importance of trust, communication, and security. I prioritize making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also provide consistent updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. Aside from pet care, I am an elementary art teacher and glass artist relocating from Philly and am excited to bike and explore Seattle! Pet care is a consistent and flexible part of my weekly routine. I build my schedule around drop-in visits, walks, and overnight house sitting. I am an artist and teacher on summer break, so I currently have a flexible schedule and prioritize being reliable and on time for all visits. I’m able to adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and household. I’m comfortable with early morning, midday, and evening care, and can stagger my day to make sure pets are fed, walked, and checked on within their normal routines. I also allow time in my schedule to give each visit my full attention, rather than rushing between bookings. I care for pets with love like they are my own and treat my clients homes with the upmost respect and transparency. I have experience caring for pets and homes while folks are traveling and value their trust and household rules.
“Lizzy recently looked after our 50+lb hound mix. She followed all of our directions, was a great communicator, and our dog Abbey warmed up to her quickly. We would absolutely use Lizzy again when needed.”
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
“Jessica was great! It was my first time using Rover app and having someone housesit and look after my dogs. I usually boarded my dogs, but due to them always getting sick from other dogs. I decided to try the Rover app. I was very unsure and nervous but she really provided me the peace of mind. She was highly responsive and communicated with me throughout the days and also sent pictures and updates on how the dogs were doing. I would highly recommend recommend her!”
About: Update 3/2026: hello! I have relocated recently from out of state and am working on establishing a rover client base in delco. Currently working on availability on a week by week while my primary job starts up so please shoot me a message if interested in booking a specific date and will see if we can work something out:) thanks! I have always felt a special connection with animals and grown up my whole life in a pet household. I have always had cats and small pets but it wasn’t until 5 years ago I finally got my own dog. We rescued him from a traumatic past so he had a lot of anxiety and fear. It taught me so much about caring for a more special needs pet that provided me with more patience, discipline and understanding for animals. I also have an adult cat and these two animals collectively make me so happy. These experiences have led me to want to give back in some way as a pet caregiver! I promise to give your fur babies the best care and love possible and to leave your home as if it were my own! I work shifts as a nurse but have my weekends and nights and a week day free! This schedule while my work days are busy allows me ample time off to care for your pets. Knowing any specifics about your pets such as routine, feeding, potty schedule, medications, personalities, etc is helpful in knowing how to provide the best care possible for them. Whether it is a drop in visit or going on a walk I promise to leave your pet more enriched and fulfilled after the visit than before!
“Christina was great with Chuck! He got so much love, care and attention. Chuck is sweet but also an energetic not fully trained nippy puppy, so not easy! Christina is reliable, caring and skilled at taking care of dogs and goes the extra mile to treat them like her own. He got plenty of love attention and exercise. We got cute pictures of him throughout the week. It was a nice bonus that she got our mail and packages, watched our house and left our house clean and tidy. I would recommend her to friends, neighbors and family that needs pet care.”
“Mary is very sweet and you can tell she really loves animals. She did great with our pups and stayed in communication while we were gone. She left the house tidy and neat. We did have a slight hiccup with her arrival time but she communicated that so it worked out ok. We would consider her in the future to stay with our pups again.”
“Rachel was great with our Mia! Really responsive and sent lots of photos. Happy to have found a sitter who spends lots of time with her! Mia can’t wait for the next time she spends with Rachel!”
“10/10 recommend Sky. She was available on short notice and was available for a meet and greet the next day. My pup took to her immediately! Sky was prompt in arrival and departure. She sent me regular updates and my home was very tidy upon return. If Sky had any care questions, she sent them my way. Your pup or cat will certainly be adored if they have Sky caring for them!”
About: I have had a dog for 20 years, my whole life! I have watched other dogs for 10 years by letting them out, walking them, or overnights. I love playing with dogs! I am a college student on break and am free daily! I work at a restaurant but only picking up shifts so will be free a lot of the time! I have a fenced in yard for pets to run around! My neighborhood is a great spot for long walks! I have a small friendly little dog who loves to play.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Prospect Park is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Prospect Park
We cannot thank Chelsea and John enough for taking such good care of our cats! We are grateful for the love, attention and care they showed our pets during an overseas vacation. Their communications alleviated any anxieties we might have had about leaving our furry friends behind and allowed us to enjoy out trip to the max.
As always, Amberleigh provided super frequent and detailed updates while I was out of state for the week! My 3 cats and 2 dogs love when she visits and were very happy and healthy when I got home. I’m sure they’re already looking forward to the next time I leave 😅
I cannot say enough good things about Maia. You can tell when a person truly loves animals and our dog knew from the start that Maia is one of those people. She has been amazing with our senior dog. She takes special care to ensure that she is not over-exercised or left outside in extreme weather. When she watched our girl during a blizzard, she even shoveled a pathway in the snow so that Pandora could get outside to do potty. I always get lots of pictures and updates. Maia is a true gem and I highly recommend her.
Olivia is great! She took such good care of our two dogs while we went away for a long weekend and followed our instructions carefully. She is also very respectful of our home and left it neat and orderly. She even left the tv on for our dogs when she left. Olivia is very responsive and replied to my messages within minutes—sometimes seconds. We would highly recommend Olivia and would definitely have her take care of our dogs again.
Robyn was one of the best sitters we’ve had! She was super attentive and responsive to our pups needs. We have a very anxious pup, that Robyn knew how to manage and gave the time and space to get comfortable. She managed our older dog with ease and much love! We highly recommend Robyn to anyone that needs a responsible, caring and knowledgeable caregiver!
Opeyemi did a wonderful job taking care of our multi pet household. He was very intentional about asking questions and clarifying instructions before we left, gave us frequent, detailed updates and left the house near and clean. We will definitely rebook with him!
Jessica exceeded every expectation! I was out of the country for 10 days. Jessica house sat and took care of my two 11-year-old cats. My boy needs meds every morning and evening. She made great effort to make sure he got the meds, especially the first couple of days when he was getting used to her. She actually brought gates from her home and moved furniture so that she could give my boy his meds. She texted me every day with updates and pictures. I recommend her without hesitation. She's great!
My pups enjoyed another successful stay within my home, with Destiny at the helm of their adventures in (canine) babysitting. Destiny came for a pre visit since it’s been awhile, and was every bit as friendly and communicative about needs, concerns, preferences, as I remembered. Loved the daily walks and pics that she sent so I felt comfortable that Chico and Olive were in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Prospect Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Prospect Park on Rover is $116.55 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 5,711 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
