About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs at home, and over the past 15+ years that love has turned into real hands-on experience: feeding schedules, potty training quirks, senior dog needs, high-energy breeds who need a good run, and the anxious pets who just want a lap to curl up on. I treat every dog I care for like my own. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, your dog will get consistent care and lots of love. I’m reliable, communicative (expect photo updates!), and genuinely happiest when there’s a dog nearby. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I’m currently waiting for my full-time job to start so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time with your pets! They will get lots of love and attention. I plan to make sure your pets always feel safe and comfortable! They will always be my top priority and meeting their needs will be essential.
“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.”

“Mary followed all my instructions perfectly and left copious notes about her time with the dogs. My dogs can be challenging but she handled them like a pro! My house was just as I left it when I returned.”

“Shatoria was a joy to have in our home, so much so that our dogs did not even care when we came back after nearly two weeks away, and ran right upstairs to her room to look for her. Excellent communication and attention to detail, and I am almost certain our home was cleaner when she left than when she arrived. Easily the best pet care experience we’ve had. Booking again ASAP.”


“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.”

“Isaac is fantastic, he watched my senior dog while out of town over the holiday. He made it very easy for me AND WENT WAY ABOVE AND BEHOND. As the first big snow storm moved through while I was gone and I didn’t have anything prepared for it. Isaac jumped in and did what needed to be done. Will book again.”


“Louisa was excellent! She was so thorough in our meet and greet making sure she was aware of any and all needs Ollie might have. Ollie loved her right away which made me feel very comfortable. Louisa was great at communicating and sent pictures during the sit which I appreciated. Highly recommend her and will certainly have her care for Ollie in the future!”

“Renee was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So accommodating, GREAT communication and just a really great person to work with. You know your dog is getting 100% attention and love when you come home and they're completely worn out. At an energetic year old, Asha NEVER gets worn out from playing...that is until she met her match in Renee! This was out first time using Rover and it was last minute and I had my concerns just because we had to trust this person in our home for the first time without ever meeting her. Every concern was gone as soon as I met Renee! I can't recommend her highly enough! She's amazing!!!”

“I had a great experience with Jennifer. She stayed overnight with my two dogs, was very caring and left my house clean. She sent me pictures of the dogs while I was away which gave me peace of mind. I’d highly recommend her.”

“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.”

“Cassie was wonderful! We had no worries, as we were gone for 11 days. She stayed at our home, so it didn’t stress out our dog, Zoe. Cassie was very proactive with asking detailed questions about her and just genuinely concerned about all her needs. She even suggested coming over for some visits prior to our vacation, so Zoe could get use to her. Highly recommend!!?”
“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. :)”

“Liz was awesome. She communicated on how things were going each day. She did exactly what my family wanted her to do. I would definitely request her to do it again. I highly recommend her. Thanks so much.”
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.
“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our large dogs! They are a bit high maintenance in their own ways but they were taken care of perfectly! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for a dog; I helped my aunt throughout my childhood; as an adult, friends and acquaintances asked me to sit and look after their pet. I know that every pet is individual and I will try to make sure that your dog is happy while he is waiting for his owner :) I’m working full-time, but depends of the day I can be total free if you needed :) we can just speak and see which days and time you needed :) I have a friendly cat who will keep company with another cat if necessary.The cat is neutered and has all the vaccines. She so nice and delicate. I have a lot of toys and snacks for cats, I always take into your requests and wishes for care :)

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.

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.
