“I felt at ease leaving my pets at home with Lucca even though it was my first time using her services. She is so sweet and bubbly and very kind. She sends lots of photos, updates, and doesn’t hesitate to bring up any concerns. My pets love her. I would pick her again in a heartbeat.”
“Emma was fantastic with our dogs, our cats and our home. She is very sweet and great with the animals. We will definitely request her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Cathy took great care of my 2 mini schnauzers. They were relaxed (as much as mini schnauzers can relax😆) and healthy when we returned home. I felt very comfortable leaving my doggies with Cathy in charge! Cathy was very communicative throughout her stay and she was respectful of our home. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We will continue to have her help us with our doggies during our times away from home.”
“Summer is amazing! She took fabulous care of our three dogs (and our house) while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative, and all of our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Susan was amazing. She came on time and sent regular updates. She petted Roxie and kept her so calm when we were away. Totally recommend to anyone looking for an amazing sitter”
“Great care staying with our dogs. He kept us informed and even repaired a freeze handle I had neglected to fix before we left home. I will definitely use Mark in the future to take care of our pups.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting and using MyQueisha’s services twice. She really is patient and loving with my dog and treats him as a member of her family. Highly recommend”
“I have a 4 1/2 year old chihuahua who is my baby. Besides her spay surgery I’ve never left her overnight. I had to leave her this past weekend. I accidentally found Matt because I forgot to change my address after a recent move. Thank goodness I did! After the meet and greet Cammie was ready to go home with him! Dogs know good people so I knew I found the right sitter. Matt took such good care of her and sent me the cutest pics of my sweet baby girl. Thank you so much Matt! I will be using you again!!”
“10 Stars! She was so excellent to work with! We were out of the country for 16 days; normally, we have family watch the dogs because Jake is older with cancer and takes a large amount of medicine. That wasn't an option with this trip, so we interviewed several folks and Ro was by far the best - she came over and met the dogs and learned about the house. She was here right after we left, and stayed with the dogs until right before we came home. She took such good care of them and the house. She kept us informed and updated with them throughout the trip and we honestly never worried - she was so great. 100% recommend and we'll be using again!”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my puppy. I loved how intentional she was with her. She took the time to play with her and give her lots of attention but she also took her to meet and socialize with other dogs which I really appreciated. She kept me updated every day and sent me pictures of how cute and happy my puppy was which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Even when my puppy got a little sick Chelsea was so attentive and made sure she was okay. She kept an eye on her and was there to care for her every step of the way. You can truly tell that Chelsea cares about the animals she watches and treats them like her own. I felt completely comfortable knowing my little one was in her care. I would absolutely have Chelsea watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy caring and intentional with their pets!”
About: I have 4 dogs of my own, ranging from 2 - 10. I have been dog sitting them since the day we got them 10 years ago, but have started dog sitting alone 5 years ago. They are all 50+ pounds and a bit crazy at times but that has never changed how cute and loving they are. I would love to sit your dog(s) and will do it with a joyful spirit! I’m currently working from home, and traveling for an event company to put on events. I have limited availability but when I am in town, I’m free for any services you may need! I can’t care for pets in my own home due to our rental contract, however I will care for pets in your home as well as you normally would! I find that pets feel more comfortable being taken care of in their own home and it (hopefully) creates less stress for the owners! I will treat your home with love, care, and respect, the same way that you would!
About: With years of experience caring for my own two dogs and regularly helping others with dog sitting, I provide personalized attention and love for each pet. I specialize in training puppies and offering gentle care for senior dogs, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy in my care. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I'm free every day, all the time. I can give each furry friend the attention and care they need whenever they need it! When I care for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow their routines and preferences to keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible for the pets. I focus on providing lots of playtime, walks, and attention to make sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away.
“Skylar was AMAZING!!! I have an older grumpy pit and she gave him all the love and cuddles. She also was very respectful of our home and left everything the way she found it. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you again Skylar so much!!”

Lilly was an amazing pet sitter! We went out of town for almost 3 weeks and not only did she love all of our pets as her own but maintained the household while we were gone. She texted often, sent pictures, and kept me informed on things around the house. When we came home after a full day of travel, the carpets were vacuumed, the bedding was washed and she made and the house feel so calm and inviting for us. We were able to just head straight to bed because she had all of the pets and house ready for our arrival. The thought and time she put into that was just amazing. She’s a rarity and we are so thankful that we found her! We highly recommend her!
Dylan did a great job taking care of Dewey while we were away for the weekend! This was our first time leaving our 11 month old German Shepard...we were nervous but Dylan sent lots of pictures and updates which helped us relax! He was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond by staying an extra 2hrs until we made it home late from our flight. Dewey was in good hands, highly recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Lucy during our 13-day trip. Lucy is extremely anxious and skittish, but she earned Lucy’s trust early on, and by the end they were friends. That meant so much to us. She sent photos and videos every day, along with little stories about how Lucy was doing. She also took wonderful care of our house: bringing in the mail, taking out the trash, cleaning up, and even stripping the bed and gathering the towels for laundry. She left us a sweet, detailed note and thoughtfully made sure the key was safely inside when she left. We came home to a happy Lucy and a spotless house. We’re so grateful for the care she gave both, and we would happily book her again.
Ciara took great care of our three dogs when we went out of town for 5 days. We have two 2 year old high energy corgis and a 6 month old Great Pyrenees puppy who looks like a full grown dog, but acts like a spoiled toddler! Collectively they are a challenge. She did a great job managing the herd, keeping order in the house and communicating with us. We would definitely ask Ciara to stay with our pups again.

The average cost of House Sitting in Crabapple is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $78 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Crabapple 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 Crabapple 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 Crabapple 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
