“Mary was great with the dogs, very detailed in her notes and left the house like she wasn't even here. She obviously has lots of experience with dogs as well based on the questions and details which I appreciate.”
“Shatoria did an amazing job with my 2-year-old dog Siena. She has excellent communication and sent me quite a few pictures. Siena was able to go on multiple walks during the day. I will definitely be using her again for dog sitting and highly recommend her.”
“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 Tina stay at our house for a week while we went away for the holidays to take care of our geriatric kitty - Sushi. This is the first time that we used Rover and obviously I did have hesitation with someone that I did not know staying at our house without a "trial" run! However, Tina was amazing in taking care of Sushi, sending pictures and keeping me updated. She was very responsive when I reached out with questions or thoughts! Our home was clean upon our arrival last night and most importantly, Sushi was very well taken care of! I would highly recommend Tina to take care of your animals!!! Beth M.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I know how to care for their unique needs and help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have availability in the evenings and weekends, along with work from home Wed/Thurs/Fri. I'm usually able to make plenty of time to be present with your pet. There's a park across the street from me for time outside and I enjoy active, long walks for energetic dogs. Plenty of dog parks nearby and trails. Home space can be accommodated for pet
“Appreciated Cassandra's thoroughness, meeting with us twice before her stay to make sure she knew all our pets' needs. I felt confident my pets and home were safe in her hands!”
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.
“Once again, Pam is the best sitter we could ask for. She is so kind, patient, and understanding of our shy rescue, providing him with love and care while respecting his boundaries. She is wonderfully communicative and we were able to enjoy our trip fully knowing our pup was in good hands.”
“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.”
“Samantha was a fantastic house sitter for our wild 10mo old puppy and two kitties. We just got home and all the animals are so happy and healthy, we couldn’t ask for more. Thanks again Sam!”
About: I am a seasoned vet assistant, actively working towards my technician license. Fear free and pet CPR certified (BLS and ALS), as well as dog obedience and groomer certified. I am experienced with administering injectable, transdermal, and oral medications. I have been working with animals for over 10 years, and have been in the veterinary setting for 5. I have experience with fearful, reactive, fractious, and friendly animals. I am knowledgeable on the care/support of neonate and geriatric dogs, cats, reptiles, and pocket pets. I have a pet sitting service called RamBam’s Kritter Kare. I will ask for permission to post pets to promote my services. You can absolutely say no. Feel free to reach out on Facebook or Instagram with inquiries as well! I work overnight, so I will have time to care for your animals in the morning and in the evening. Depending on my work schedule, I may be able to accept afternoon appointments, but reach out to me personally to see my availability. I can do house visits and go for walks up to three times a day. My schedule is usually pretty open, so I can take time to get to know your pet, so we can build trust for future visits.
“Elizabeth was amazing with my dog while I was traveling for work. She sent daily updates and many pictures. I would definitely use her services again.”
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!
“Jessica was wonderful! She went out of her way to make my dog comfortable! Her communication was outstanding, she really went above and beyond. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I am an aspiring vet student who has 10 plus years of experience with cats and dogs both owning and sitting for. I have medical knowledge that other sitters may not have as I work at an ER for pets as a nurse! I am extremely flexible with my time and availability and will ensure that your pet gets the well-deserved love and care they need! As a bonus, I can offer nail trims, sanitary shaves, and ear cleanings during their stay if requested! I'm currently working part time night-shift, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I make my own schedule during the day, so I can easily work around your pet's needs. I have a dog and cat myself at my apartment that are well socialized to be around other dogs. I can accommodate up to two dogs in my apartment if needed and can also go to your home if preferred. For cats, I find it best to go to them. I do not have a yard, but my apartment complex is pet friendly with a play area and lots of walking trails nearby.
“Becca did a fantastic job with my senior chocolate lab. I knew from the way she greeted my dog a few days before the booking started, that my dog would be in good hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sun Prairie
Pam was, as always, absolutely perfect with our pup. She is so patient with his quirks, takes him on frequent, long walks, and is super communicative. She even left the TV on to soothe him after heading out 🥹 Pam went above and beyond and went back to let Ted out hours after the original booking ended because our flight was delayed. She is the reason we are able to travel with peace of mind!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sun Prairie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sun Prairie on Rover is $34.24 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 840 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.
