“Mandi was great! She was very responsive and sent us prompt updates on how the animals were doing. We have three cats and a dog and she was very communicative about all of them. Highly recommend her!”
“Once again Kelda was absolutely amazing with my pets. She is by far the best sitter I have ever had and if I’m going out of town, there’s no one I would rather have watching over my boys.”
“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!”
“My doggos LOVE Christian. He’s attentive, is a great communicator and goes above and beyond. I truly feel like he loves our dogs like his own. We’re so glad we found him!”
“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!”
“Ingrid was truly wonderful. She stayed at our home for the weekend and treated our doggies with so much love and patience. She gave our blind dog the extra care and attention he needs, and she was incredibly sweet and gentle with our young chihuahua. It’s rare to find someone who cares for your pets the way you do, but she absolutely did. We’re so grateful and would happily book her again.”
“Silvia was thorough and caring. She gave regular updates on our dog and went above and beyond to help our senior girl eat. She also left our home clean with clean sheets on our bed. This was an amazing touch after a long travel day. Thank you!”
“Daniel was absolutely amazing with my dog Bruno! He kept me updated with daily photos and messages, and I could tell Bruno was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for the entire time. Daniel was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals, which left me feeling completely at ease knowing Bruno was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Daniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Grace was wonderful with my grown puppy Trapper, an active American Lab who needs a lot of exercise and playtime! He had activities with Grace every day including going to the park and playing with her dogs, he was a happy camper when I was back and Grace provided me pictures and videos while I was away.”
“Beth was awesome to our little Rosie. Beth sent us pictures each and let us know how she was doing. She also helped us with socializing our girl with other pups. Thank you so much Beth.”
“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!”
“Mina was incredible! She spoiled my pup Hugo rotten and took amazing care of my house while out of town for a few days. I got frequent updates and hilarious pictures of there adventures together and could not be happier with the job she did :). Thanks soooo much, would recommend her for any need you may have.”
“Ellyse is a hidden gem in the pet sitting world. She loves animals and it really shows! She takes the BEST care of our two dogs and two cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new pet/house sitter!”
“It’s always stressful leaving your fur babies with someone new. Amber set up a meet and greet to go over their needs and quirks. Initially they are scared of everyone and bark a lot. In almost no time, Amber had bonded with them. We appreciated the updates, pictures and occasional package retrieval off the porch. Amber is always prompt with her responses and very flexible with your pets needs.”
“Jazmine did a great job watching over my pets, she communicated daily activities and anything additional that had come up. I received daily photos of my boys and could tell they were well cared for when I got back. Will definitely be a repeating customer”
About: I grew up around many animals, especially dogs! Breeds I’m most familiar with include shar-peis, pitbulls, rottweilers, and German shepherds! I’ve also taken care of bunnies, guinea pigs, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons, so no pet is too much for me! I just graduated university and am looking to return to university online to get a second bachelors degree, so I currently am not looking for a job and instead would love to be able to get out of the house and boost my serotonin by meeting people’s pets! I love cuddling with pets and seeing their personalities start to shine through as they get more comfortable! I love taking dogs on walks, seeing how long it will take a cat to choose to sit with me, and holding reptiles for as long as they like! Just being around a person’s pet while their owner is away makes me feel great since I know I’m giving the owner peace of mind while making a new friend.
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
“Emma took excellent care of our cats!!! This is our second time using her and we already have her booked for an extended trip this summer. She has an easy, relaxed, and calming presence. This is a perfect for our slightly anxious cats.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in South Prairie is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Prairie
Carissa did such an amazing job watching my 2 pups for a week. I have one giant dog and one tiny one and they both love her. She sent plenty of pics and updates to let me know they were safe and happy. We are new to the area and don’t know many people so it is such a relief to be able to leave them and not have to worry.
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 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 3,641 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
