“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.”
“Tina went above and beyond to come take care of our pets. I trust that she does a great job and my pups love the company of her and her kiddos. Would recommend and will use again 😊”
“Lindsey was excellent! She has great communication and we were so reassured that she was at our house with our fur baby. We got home to a spotlessly clean house and a happy pup. Highly recommend!!”
“Kendra was fantastic! She is a great communicator with lots of updates and pictures. ♥️ She walked the dogs often and knew how to handle our dog that barks at others on a leash! Thank you for taking great care of the crew!”
“Emilee was AMAZING while we were gone for the week! We have three rescue pups all with various needs and anxieties and Emilee could not have been more patient, kind, or accommodating for the three of them. She kept us regularly updated and even offered some guidance/ideas from her years of professional work with dogs. We hope she's available next time we're headed out of town - we can't imagine leaving them with anyone else!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a couple years now. I’ve had experience from little to big dogs. From a basenji, labrador, german shepherd, great pyrenees mix, a yorkie, and a few other breeds! Friends rely on me to exercise, feed, and give attention to their fur baby. 😊 I have plenty of time on the weekends! I’m currently available at any time Friday-Sunday to take care of your sweet pets! Can start at any point of the day or night! I take care of pets as if they were my own! 🥰 I care about their safety, what they eat, who comes around them, how much outside time they get. I promise to take care of them and give them all the attention. I want to be able to give them some love and snuggles while watching some tv. I make sure to stick to their food schedule and like to let them out every 2-4 hours. Daily exercise is important to me, I like to go on walks and can always use a walking buddy! 🐶
“Emily was great! Very responsive, sent a lot of pictures, and made sure our 2 boys were well cared for. Emily stayed in my home for several nights and everything went well 😁 Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a house sitter or a drop in option.”
“Talia was awesome with Maxy and the unexpected visit of MJ (the neighbor’s cat) She talked to them and took very good care of them. We already have another visit booked for this week.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need! I’m a full-time student during the week, but I will always have time to drop-in, or stay overnight. I’m very flexible with my scheduling, so I will happily do whatever you and your pet need! While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what! I know some nice parks for walks, and I’m also happy to chill if they’re a homebody! Again, entirely up to you and your pets needs :)
“Lensy was great with our dogs! They’re both special dogs - have some allergies and take medications, and she did great meeting their needs. She sent us updates and pictures and they had a great time with her!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was five years old. I’ve walked dogs since I was a child. I have had birds, gerbils, lizards, fish, cats, and dogs. My last animal companion was a rescued special needs Jindo dog from LA. I truly love all animals. I work for myself so my schedule is relatively flexible. I am available anytime with enough headway. Have car and can travel to clients. I can spend as much or as little time as your pet requires. I currently have no pets or housemates and a fenced in backyard for dogs. My house is safe and secure and situated in a quiet neighborhood. All furniture is pet friendly and accessible. Plenty of windows for cats to look out from.
“Hanna did a great job staying at our house and caring for our dogs, we’d happily book with her again! She sent regular updates and communication was timely and professional.”
“Lenys was available on short notice for us and did a wonderful job caring for our two pups. She was communicative and left the house just as she found it. We didn’t have a worry while we were traveling. Thank you!”
“Monica went above and beyond! Our dog really had a great time with her and Bella, and the kitties also loved her. She sent lots of photos every day, and our dog also took me to her house once we got home because she missed her! I highly recommend Monica for all of your pet care needs.”
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was a child, got our first dogs going into high school, and have since cared for multiple different owners pets in addition to my experience growing up. I’m currently taking classes full-time, so daily walks are ideal to get myself moving and keep your pups healthy as well! I also am open to overnights & longer stays, as my class schedule isn’t too heavy for in person lectures, which is ideal to not be gone too long when taking care of pets for multiple days. I will care for your pets with your & their best interest in mind, based on however you like to care for them & whatever suits their/your needs!
About: Hi, I am Halle! I grew up with many dogs, including a Pug, Pomeranian, Wheaton Terrier, Golden Doodles, a Poodle, and Boston Terriers. I worked at a dog groomers and have experience pet sitting other breeds, including Labs, Alaskan Klee Kai, Great Pyrenees, Border Collies, and other mixed breeds. Because of this background, I am very comfortable with high energy puppies, large breeds, and senior dogs that need a slower pace on walks. If you choose to board your dog at my apartment, my routines include 30 minute walks, play time in a fenced in dog park (which is apart of my complex), feeding, and baths as needed. I am comfortable giving them medication as long as there are instructions (for example, oral medicine with instructions provided by a veterinarian). I highly prefer that your dog is potty trained and does not bark loudly, as I will not be at my apartment the entire time to watch them. Safety is my number one priority for myself, the dogs, and their caregivers, so proper communication will be required for Rover services. I’m currently available for walks in the morning and afternoons. If you board your dog at my apartment, I will take them on 3-4 walks per day. I am flexible right now and my schedule can change depending on the services you request. Walks- I can come to your house/apartment to take your dog on a walk. Client’s home pet sitting service- same applies^- I can come to your house/apartment to care for your pet’s needs. Boarding in my home- I request that your pet be dropped off at my apartment with food and food/water bowls, toys, leashes, and their crates if they need them. I maintain a clean, safe apartment and do not have my own pets. My apartment complex has a large fenced in dog park. I will regularly take your dog to this park for play time during their boarding. *Safety- there is no smoking or other dangerous activities in my home. Communication is my priority to ensure that your pet remains safe and healthy. I will provide periodic updates to confirm that they have been fed, walked, played with, etc during your service.
“Briana took great care of our cats and our house! When we arrived back from our trip, things were clean and our boys were in good spirits. We know they were comfortable with Briana.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Prairie
Once again, Pam took absolutely perfect care of our shy, nervous pup! She understands his quirks and needs so well and is so patient with him — plus she gives him the best walks ever! It means so much that we are able to travel with complete peace of mind knowing that our best boy is in such good hands.
Hannah was wonderful!! She took wonderful care of our older dog and was a fabulous communicator. She sent messages to let me know how our dog was doing, along with lots of pictures. You can tell she really loves dogs. She also took good care of our home and left things just like we left them. I would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely reach out to have her dog sit again.
Krista did a great job dog/house sitting for me while I was out of town. Super responsive and sent daily pictures. Even did a few extra things for me that came up unexpectedly. My dog was happy and her normal self when we returned. Would 100% book with her again!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Sun Prairie is $34 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night.

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 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.

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.
