He was super motivated to do a great job for us and made sure everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our trip. We will for sure book with him again!”

“Keegan was amazing! We have a very nervous and dog-reactive German Shepherd, so we were worried about finding the right sitter. Keegan exceeded our expectations and took such great care of both of our dogs. She was patient, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We’re so happy to have found our go-to person for watching our dogs and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Shelby is so kind and takes great care of our pups! We have worked with her a few times and both of our dogs are relaxed and happy when she is here. She handles our special needs dog with care and sends updates while we are away. Highly recommend!”
“I cannot express enough how lucky we were to come across Silvia. This was the first time in 10 years that I have left town and actually felt like my dogs were in good hands. Especially my most timid girl that usually just stays in our room all day. Nala actually went on walks which she never does when we leave and our two boys who take over our companies attention got lots of it but so did our Nala girl which meant the world to us. We got an abundance of pictures and even got home to dinner. I cannot express enough how thankful we are not to just have found her but to now have her in our life as a friend. Aside from her loving our dogs, she is very knowledgeable and made sure to follow instructions we left. I will never leave my dogs with anyone else! We have a neighbor who usually texts us when things go downhill with other sitters and when I got home and ran over to talk to her, she said “I had nothing bad to say, I actually really liked her too.””
“Robin was absolutely wonderful and stepped in on very short notice to watch our dogs. She took great care of them, made sure they got plenty of walks, and treated them with the same love and attention we would. We came home to happy pups and a well-kept house, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We truly appreciated her reliability and care, and we will gladly ask her to watch our dogs again. Highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”
About: Hello! I have had animals since I was a young child. I grew up in a family with 6 kids, and we always had at least two dogs and two cats. We even had bearded dragons and Lovebirds growing up. I currently have 2 mixed labs that I love and adore. They are truly man’s best friend. Since growing up I have helped out with my friends and family’s dogs when they go on vacation. I love taking my dogs on walks and enjoying the beautiful trails of Tehaleh. What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m skilled at caring for puppies, helping with training basics, and giving senior dogs the gentle attention and care they need. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care, and I tailor walks, playtime, and routines to each dog’s individual needs. I treat every furry friend like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize structure and consistency. Each day, I make time to ensure pets get exercise, attention, and care at regular intervals. On a weekly basis, I plan activities like walks, playtime, and grooming to keep pets happy and healthy. My schedule is flexible enough to accommodate different pets’ needs, ensuring they always feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for. I provide attentive, compassionate care for pets both in my home and in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, while ensuring they feel safe and loved. I also monitor their health, administer medications if needed, and give plenty of attention and affection. Whether it’s a quick walk, a cozy cuddle, or engaging playtime, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Prairie
Robin Paulson did an amazing job at taking care of our three dogs and a cat while we were on a recent trip. Robin came over twice before we left for orientation, and sent pictures of the pets every day. Everything was better than expected in our dealings with Robin. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
We could not have asked for a better sitter! This was the second time we have used Beth and from the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear our dogs felt completely at ease — and that comfort only grew with every stay. When we came home both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved, which as a dog parent means everything to us. It's obvious this sitter has a real gift for making dogs feel safe and at home. I never once felt anxious leaving our dogs in her care, which is rare and so reassuring. We'll absolutely be booking again and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog (or dogs!) like family.
Michelle always does a great job caring for our senior pets who still have lots of energy but also need prescription medications daily and are extra needy with age! We know they are getting all the attention they desire from her! She does a great job with the house too.

FAQs for House Sitting - South Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Prairie on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,707 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Prairie. 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 South Prairie 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 South Prairie 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 South Prairie 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.

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.
