“Fantastic! Jenna and her sister Morgan watched my Golden Retriever for 5 days while we went on vacation. They sent tons of pictures and messages while we were away. My house was immaculate upon returning and my dog was happy.”
“5 Stars for Nelson! Nelson is hands down the best pet sitter out there! I recently had the absolute pleasure of trusting Nelson to care for my pets while I was away, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very start, he showed deep concern and thoughtful attention—not just to tasks, but to the emotional and physical well-being of my pets. He kept me consistently updated with sweet photos and messages, took initiative by changing the cat litter without being asked, and played wholeheartedly with the dogs. He even took Missy on multiple walks—completely unprompted—simply because he cared. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. What really blew me away is how Missy, who doesn’t warm up easily to people (especially men), loved Nelson. That’s practically a miracle in itself—and speaks volumes about his gentle energy, patience, and kindness. Nelson gave me genuine peace of mind. His heart, intuition, and respect for my pets’ personalities make him incomparable. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and truly gets animals, Nelson is the one. Missy already misses him—and honestly, so do I!”
“Kaitlyn did a fantastic job. We had an older dog and a very hyper puppy and she was so good with both. She sent updates and pictures. We would use her again in a second.”
“Darrius was amazing with my two pups. We had to travel last minute and he was quick to respond and schedule a meet & greet. He sent texts with updates along with pictures and videos. We are so glad we found Darrius and will absolutely use him in the future.”
“Amazing! Did a wonderful job taking care of the dogs. She gave them so much love, play, and care while we were gone. She also kept me up to date sending videos, photos, and a description of the day. Will definitely continue booking with Jasmine!”
“Paul did a great job with our girls. They were always “smiling” when he sent updates and was very good a communicating. He was happy to do some extra skimming of the leaves from the pond and trash duty as well. Would definitely have him back!”
“We can’t recommend Rayven strongly enough!!! She went above and beyond caring for our 4 legged family members. If you’re looking for someone that treats your pets better than you do, Rayven is the best choice when you’re ready for your next family vacation!”
About: I have loved all sorts of animals - from birds, cats, dogs and fish to more exotic animals like hedgehogs and various reptiles. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of animals, always striving to provide the very best living conditions as possible. As a dog care specialist in the past at a previous job, caring for man's best friend is basically second nature for me. . I love our four legged, friends and treat each one I encounter as my own. I continued my love for animals and I am now a Dog Groomer in Houston over 7 years now! I look forward to meeting some precious pups and kitties and hope to see yours soon! I work Tuesday through Friday as a dog groomer, but I do also leave my job at a decent time that if I need to watch your pet Friday evenings, I can. I am available usually all weekend and Mondays and can easily care for your baby full-time. I have an outdoor dog run that is fenced in and secure so the dog will be safe. While outside your pup will always be leashed up, and if your furry friend needs to be crated, I can do that as well for you.
About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.
About: I've had dogs since I was 8 years old. I've always had a big heart, so I took the role of main caregiver for my pups and my kitty; I walked, fed, and cleaned them which continued into my adulthood as I've been a committed carer for friends' dogs. For a short time (4 months), I moved to Mexico and was a live-in dog carer for two puppies: a Yorkie and Bichon Frise! I also became dual carer for my partner's three dogs of varying ages and we rescued and raised a beautify cat together. I also know what it means to lose your beloved pal as I've had experience with caring for aging doggies and sitting with them as they passed over the doggy rainbow. I currently work full-time with special needs kids from 8-5 daily. I'm available for drop-ins after work, overnight stays and I have full weekend availability! I am available for walks and stays at your home. My care for your home will reflect the deep care I have for your pet. I would love know what you freel comfortable with in your home and integrate your needs as I make sure your pet(s) are well cared for!
About: What sets me apart is my expertise in both puppy training and senior dog care, ensuring personalized attention at every stage of your dog’s life. Reliable care with a focus on your dog’s comfort and well-being. Whether it's energetic walks or low-impact exercise, I tailor my services to suit your dog’s unique needs. As a part-timer, I carefully schedule pet care around my other commitments, ensuring flexibility to accommodate each pet's needs. I prioritize consistency and quality, fitting in walks, playtime, and care sessions throughout my week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and personalized attention. I maintain a routine that includes feeding, training, and rest. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet's usual routine. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care requirements, ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space.
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Kara watched our two dogs and cat during th winter storm, and they loved her. She was communicating with me and left my house very clean! Thank you Kara for everything.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy caring for pets of all personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing companionship. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I make time to provide reliable, attentive care. I communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and work to ensure pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, pay attention to each pet’s needs, and provide a calm, caring environment. I understand the importance of trust and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have experience with animals of all ages and physical conditions and understand the concept of a customized plan for your fur babies. I have rescued stray cats and dogs and ensured they were sheltered appropriately. Granted this is a different circumstance but just know that I would go to bat for any of your fur babies. Pet owner for over 10+ years. I am currently working full time as an analyst but have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide care and comfort for your fur babies. I am able to do anything from boarding to drops in to home visits. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog and cat that would be comfortable with new animals if that is of concern. I can provide additional services of administering medications, brushing, etc at no extra charge. Besides your fur animals deserve royal treatment without you breaking the bank.
“Jenny was amazing with Oddy, she went above and beyond, I’m very grateful for the love and care she gave to Oddy also she kept me posted with beautiful pictures , I will contact her in the future , I highly recommend her, thank you Jenny”
“Elmer was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to sit our dog Ghost at our home for a week. He kept us updated daily and sent us lots of pictures and videos. We have a big energetic dog and Elmer made sure to walk him daily (sometimes multiple times a day) and cater to his needs. He even took care of a small wound Ghost had while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy home and healthy and happy dog. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”

Suzanne went above and beyond with our two dogs! We have a young puppy who still has a lot of difficulty sleeping and Suzanne was so incredibly patient with him and went out of her way to make sure he was well taken care of during our time away. She was very communicative and gave us daily updates on how both dogs were doing and sent lots of photos. I would not hesitate to recommend her if you are looking for a sitter. We will definitely be using her again in the future if she is available.
Amy was great! She took phenomenal care of our two dogs. Followed our instructions to the letter. She sent daily pictures and clips of the dogs playing and on walks. She even came over for 30 minutes a day early to meet the boys so they wouldn't view her as a stranger. She even ran our robot vacuum daily so we didn't return to a hairy mess. Will definitely use her again next time we go out of town. Thank you, Amy.
This was my first experience with Rover, and I’m truly so impressed. My dog unexpectedly had surgery, and I needed to hire someone to watch him when I attended a wedding to ensure he didn’t scratch/lick his wounds as he is a little MacGyver and manages to get out of every cone known to man. Insert Britteny saving the day! She was willing to help with a last minute request, and she was SO attentive to Benny. She sent me so many pictures which eased my anxiety so much, and gave Benny his pain and antibiotic medication regimen without any hiccups. She graciously accepted every request I had, and went above and beyond. The proof was really the fact that in many of the pictures, Benny is curled up cuddling Britteny. I would absolutely recommend Britteny for any of your dog walking/watching needs! Both Benny and I can’t wait to ask for her help again soon.
Jessie took wonderful care of our pup while house-sitting for us on short notice. She kept to a consistent schedule, sent us plenty of daily photos, and made sure our boy was comfortable and at ease. She was also very respectful of our home and left everything tidy. We’ll definitely be using her again—highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Crabb
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crabb on Rover is $44.4 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 3,051 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crabb. 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 Crabb 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 Crabb 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 Crabb 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.
