“Renee was wonderful with our 2 puppies. One even had an accident and she called us to find out what she should do. We have a shampooer. She asked how to use it and actually shampooed their floor for us. She treated our puppies so good. Playing outside and walking. I would hire her again.”
“Jennifer was fantastic with Ollie! He loved her right away and I felt very comfortable having her care for him. She gave me updates and sent pics throughout the stay which I greatly appreciated. Excellent first sir and would certainly have her sit again!”
“Tonisha took a last minute job with an even more last minute extra dog added due to family arriving in town with their dog. She took great care of the animals and was responsive and reliable throughout the process! We got lots of photos and videos.”
“Shatoria was great. She engaged my two pups quite a bit. I received lots of photos of happy dogs, some cuddling with her - a good sign! The house was in excellent order, just as I left it. I plan to invite her to house/dog sit again. Thanks Shatoria!”
“We absolutely LOVED Rebecca and so did our dog Reba! We’re so happy we decided to have a house sitter instead of the traditional boarding route. We will 100% rebook with Rebecca moving forward.”
“Mary was wonderful. It was obvious my dog, Cedar, was at ease with her and well cared for. Mary left notes about Cedar’s meal times and bathroom breaks as well as sending pictures and comments in the app. Everything went 110% smoothly and I didn’t have any concerns or worries at all while away which is a great feeling. Thank you! We hope to book again in the future.”
“Tina was attentive to my kitty and connected with him well during our meet-&-greet. She was flexible with logistics as needed and took good care of my kitty. Came home to a house at least as clean as I had left it.”
“Pam was everything we could have asked for in a sitter and more! She immediately recognized our rescue’s anxiety and quirkiness and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. She was very communicative and sent lots of wonderful updates while we were gone! We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was in incredibly kind, capable hands. We would love to work with Pam again!”
“Isaac is great with our dogs and we've booked with him multiple times now. He's so easy to work and communicate with. Our dogs love seeing him come to spend time with them and he always leaves our house as it was when we left. We'll continue using Isaac.”
About: I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away. I currently work only 2 days out of the week, but my schedule is very flexible, and can switch days if need be! Will accommodate I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
“Cassandra was a great fit for our family and dog! She gave great updates and went above and beyond with what was needed for the week. We appreciated the great communication and care she took.”
“Paige did an amazing job house sitting Tessa! She sent me updates and photos and I can tell she really cared. Tessa is a timid rescue so it was great knowing she was comfortable in great hands.”
About: I have been taking care of neighborhood dogs as well as my own since I was 6. I have also been working in doggie daycares for 4+ years; I take a lot of pride in being able to build connections with the dogs I get to take care of! I am currently a full-time worker, but I can always make time for your pet! I tend to have a bit more availability in the mornings!☀️ I like to come and hang out with the dogs as well as taking walks when it's nice out. I am able to administer any medications needed, as I am trained/told. I am also willing to give any baths or extras as long as I get the instruction!
“12 out of 10. Jessa truly saved me with a last minute request after I had a few rover sitters canceled on me. She came and met my dogs and also was gracious enough to keep an eye on my garden. I will absolutely be using her in the future.”
“Lizzie is AMAZING! She took fantastic care of Baker and understood all of his quirks. She loved on him like he was her own pup. We highly recommend her and will rebook. :)”
“Travis is truly remarkable! We arranged a meet and greet where he invested time in getting to know our dog. He made sure to understand Remy's needs and ensured a perfect match. Travis went above and beyond by agreeing to house and Dog sit for 8 days. During his stay, Remy not only had the pleasure of regular walks but also relished the companionship at home. It's evident that Travis provided a level of care that exceeded our expectations. Our home was left in pristine condition, and to top it off, our neighbors were quick to compliment Travis on his friendly demeanor. Remy, our Husky German Shepherd Rescue, is eagerly anticipating his next stay with Travis. It's heartening to see such a positive connection between them. Travis has proven to be more than just a sitter; he's become a trusted companion for Remy. We're grateful to have found such a reliable and caring individual for our beloved pet.”
About: In addition to my lifelong passion for animals, I have over two years of professional experience working in a dog daycare and boarding facility. In this role, I provide individualized care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and training levels. I am also experienced in daily pet care tasks, including walking, bathing, brushing, feeding, and administering basic care routines. My background in animal handling has taught me the importance of patience, safety, and clear communication, allowing me to provide a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for your pups! I am available to care for your pet most weekdays after 11:30 AM, and Fridays/Weekends at any time! Your pet's safety is the highest priority. I will closely monitor your pet during play and in the event of being outside near other animals. With my experience, I am great at reading dogs body language, signals and behavior. I care about your pet as if it is my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Prairie
Lindsey watched out large lab and our older cat while we were out of town, she bonded instantly with the pets, took our dog on multiple walks a day, sent photos and kept us informed each day we were gone. When we returned our house was neat and our pets were happy and well cared for, I would highly recommend Lindsey!
Pam was, as always, a dream to work with and a perfect caretaker for our quirky dog. She is patient and understanding of his nervous personality and goes above and beyond to accommodate him. She communicates frequently and our pup always has a big smile in the pictures she sends. Another great trip thanks to Pam!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Prairie on Rover is $33.95 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 882 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sun 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 Sun 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 Sun 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 Sun 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sun Prairie. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
