“We were so pleased with Emily. She spent 4 nights 5 days with our fur babies. She sent pictures and messaged us daily. We trusted her fully in our home. If we ever need her again and she is available we will definitely have her. She was definitely a blessing. ❤️”
“Through the worst storm in AlageCal Geneva, Vick provided care for my 15 year old fragile doggie Sophia! He is a stellar caregiver and am so grateful for his time and talent!!”
“I felt so comfortable being away while she watched our dogs. We don’t have the easiest situation, but she managed it so well. She sent daily pictures that I looked forward too, and our dogs looked so happy and well taken care of in all of them. Will definitely be using her in the future!!”
“Had a great house sitting visit with Stephanie yet again and plan to utilize her services in the end of June as well. She and Jimmy had a great week while I was out of town. She sent pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. She didn’t just just sit with Jimmy, she actively played with him. I could tell in the pictures Jimmy was having a great time! Also - during my week away, Jimmy found new born bunnies in my fenced in back yard (that’s a first for me) and Stephanie went above and beyond with not only noticing that and updating me, but also making sure Jimmy let them have their space. Highly recommend, Stephanie!”
“Terri watched my babies for 2 weeks recently while I was in Europe. I was a nervous nelly about leaving them behind. I certainly didn’t want to put them in a kennel / prison. Terri kept me constantly updated with texts and photos on how they were doing. Most importantly she kept them on the small routines they were used to so that they would be less stressed. I too was less stressed. She did a great job. I would recommend her highly.”
About: Had cats all my life and dogs for last 12 years. Animals have a sixth sense about people and I'm one of those they seek out for rubs, cuddles, playtime, snacks and love... I'm working FT so im only available evenings after 5 and all times on the weekends. I'm also available for overnights at your location and can leave for work from anywhere. I will only be able to care for pets at your home as we currently have 2 cats (one who is very persnickedy) and a senior dog rescue who is going blind and is afraid of everyone.
“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”
“Tami did an excellent job of caring for my three kitties (especially the one that requires extra feedings) in my home. Tami is conscientious - she sent photos and updated me on how my cats were doing each day. Thank you Tami!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and cats as well. I’m a huge animal lover! I’ve had golden retrievers, pit bulls, Rottweilers, and a mini golden doodle. We currently have a 3 month old Golden Retriever! I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom to a 20 Month old little boy and a 7 month old Golden Retriever! So I’m available all the time! My son is a huge animal lover already and will be joining me on check ins and walks so please keep that in mind! Your pets safety is my first priority. They will get plenty of love and play time from myself and my son! You’re pet will be treated as if they’re my own!
“We booked Jason for house sitting with our dog who has separation anxiety and does not do well in a boarding environment. Jason is great with our dog! Jason came into our house and our dog immediately migrated to him. Jason provided ample walks and gave our dog personalized attention. His wife Emily is also a dog sitter on this site and she has watched our dog too! She is also amazing! We will only be using their services for our dog! We love the husband and wife team!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dogs in the last 10 years! Taking them on walks, playing fetch, bathing, and snuggling! Please reach out if you’re interested or want to ask additional questions!! Can’t wait to hear from you! I am student teaching right now so I am mostly available in the late afternoons/evenings. Usually around 4 or 5pm I’m available for walks or to let them out and play! I have a golden retriever and corgi and very friendly neighbor dogs as well! I can also use a crate in my home too for your dogs!
About: I have over 35 years of caring for animal experience, very trustworthy, and very well-known in my community. I will care for your animals as my own. I do work a full-time job. My schedule is after 5 o’clock during the week and available most weekends. Able to adjust schedule when needed. I have a fenced in yard. I am able to crate your animal easily if needed. I am able to separate animals when it’s necessary.
About: I’ve been a dog-lover since childhood, always surrounded by dogs, horses, and even rabbits. I raised my husky from puppyhood who was my bestie. Currently unable to have a dog of my own, so I get my dog cuddles here! Equipped with any skills your pet may need. Currently unemployed and job searching, so plenty of flexibility in my schedule! I welcome the breaks that come with long walks and a happy dog :) Offering your home is an intimate thing! I want to make sure we both feel comfortable and confident communicating what we need in order to give your dog the best care possible.

FAQs for House Sitting - Spring Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 879 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring 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.
<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 Spring 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
