“Ginni did a terrific job for us, extremely responsive and took wonderful care of our dogs. She’s definitely dog lover and our dogs took to her right away. Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs, often helping neighbors and friends with their dogs. And I look after my grandpup Whiskey, a husky, whenever my son travels. Your pet will enjoy a calm, steady routine while staying with me. I work full‑time from home, so they’ll have company throughout the day and plenty of attention. We’ll follow their usual schedule — walks, meals, potty breaks, and any comfort habits they rely on. Evenings are relaxed and cozy with playtime and snuggles. You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. For cats: They settle in easily here and enjoy a quiet, cozy space with lots of gentle attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I keep a steady routine throughout the day so pets know what to expect and feel secure while they’re with me. I live in a quiet, comfortable home that’s very pet‑friendly and easy for animals to settle into. Since I work from home, your pet will have company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Supervised outdoor time: I don’t have a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is on‑leash and supervised. I’m mindful of other dogs we may meet on walks and keep interactions calm and controlled. Safe indoor environment: Inside, pets can relax, nap, and settle in a pet‑friendly space where I’m always nearby. At times, my grandkitty Kitana may be here, and she’s calm, gentle, and used to sharing space with visiting pets. Communication: You’ll receive updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If anything seems off — changes in appetite, behavior, or comfort — I’ll let you know right away.
“We were in a bind and needed someone the next day. Carolyn worked us in with her other job for the weekend and came through with shining colors! She came when we needed her and loved on our girl and all was wel!”
“Donna is absolutely amazing!! In addition to being super friendly, she is flexible, accommodating, and eager to love on your fur babies! She took great care of Oreo, and I am so thankful to have found a reliable, kind, and loving sitter. Even in the chaos of my life, she was ready and willing to help at a moments notice. Oreo had a ride to the park, slept in bed, and had plenty of perfect attention!”
“Susanna was wonderful with Red during my month away on travel. She has a very positive and energetic personality and when I returned I could easily see that Red bonded well with her. She sent me pictures and videos daily and even got him (and me) comfortable using a harness on our walks!”
“Constance is AMAZING! She took our pups on so many walks and sent a ton of videos. We felt so comfortable leaving our gang with her. Not only was she great at communication, she left our house cleaner than she found it. Absolutely will only be using Constance from now on!”
“Ava has been very caring and patient with our anxious pup, Eola. She took pictures during house sitting that allowed my partner and I to enjoy our vacation without worrying. Ava has great communication and left the house clean and tidy. She even stripped the mattress before leaving. Thank you!”
About: As a child I grew up with cats and a dog. I love all animals and see them as people. I treat them with kindness and respect as I would any other person. I love to spend time with them and care for them, play with them and take them for a walk! I currently work part-time online, so I have a lot of time and flexibility for pet-care in my day. For walking and visits, I am available as early as 9:00am. When I care for your pet, this includes a daily walk (unless not needed), play time and plenty of snuggles on the couch any time.
“It was our first time hiring a non family member to care for our girls. Yet it became very clear upon our first meet & greet that Heather B was like a family member to us! Our girls were treated like royalty. We received many photographs throughout out vacation that showed us our girls were very comfortable with Heather B. We will definitely ask for Heather B again & we sincerely suggest if you need a caring pet sitter, Heather B is the one to recommend! Warm Regards & with much gratitude, Andy & Pia”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a toddler. I’ve always been a big pet lover and currently have two dogs and three cats of my own. I understand every pet is unique and has their own personalities and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends since I was a teenager! I am easy to work with and very responsible, I’m here for whatever you need! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of extra time on my hands! My schedule is very flexible so I can adjust to your needs! I can watch your pet in their own familiar environment to hopefully keep them from having the fear and anxiety of being in a new home, I’ll try to keep your usual routine! I will show them lots of love while engaging them in whatever playful activities they prefer!
“Sarah and Jeff are exceptional dog sitters! I tend to get a little anxious about being apart from my dog Blue, but I felt super at ease because Sarah was so caring and so communicative. They went above and beyond to take Blue on adventures, give her love and attention, and were very gracious about her quirks too! Very grateful and would recommend 100%!”
About: Animals come first with me. I have lots of experience walking dogs, including nervous pups and dogs that pull. I'm patient and calm and get along well with them. Cats are equally enticing and I understand their personalities. Even ferals commonly warm up quickly to me. I am fully insured and this is my full-time gig, so your pet is my top priority. When it comes to longer care, I'm a clean and respectful overnight sitter and have plenty of time and affection to give your furry family. I have over 20 years experience with cats including training, sitting, and medications of all types. I have taken care of horses, pigs, alpacas, mice, rabbits, kittens, dogs and puppies. I do cleaning, walking, visiting, feeding, socializing, and overnight visits if desired. I am a friend to every animal I see. I have plenty of attention to share with you furry kiddo. I am reliable and have a flexible schedule. My schedule is very flexible and I can work with whatever you need. I am available during the days, weekends, overnights. This is something I want to do, not have to do, so I'm really open. Every animal is an individual and I will be respectful of your pet's personality. I can take dogs to the park, woods or beach, if desired. I want to know what you want, whether time in the yard playing, walks, quiet time, feeding, treats or restricted diet.
About: Hi! I’m Jen, a lifelong animal lover and dog owner who knows how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet. I have an Australian Shepherd of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, intelligent dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and enrichment! I’m an Occupational Therapist and have spent years working in healthcare, so being dependable, patient, attentive, and responsible is a huge part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll always treat your pet and home with the same care I’d want someone to give mine. I’m very active and love walking, hiking, and spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to provide anything from a quick potty break to a long walk for dogs who need to burn some energy. I also offer drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medication as instructed, and plenty of attention and cuddles for pets who prefer a more relaxed visit. As a dog owner who has used pet sitters myself, I know how much peace of mind updates can provide. I’m happy to send photos and updates during visits so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether your dog wants to walk three miles, play fetch until my arm falls off, or just have someone hang out with them on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. 🐾 One thing you can count on: I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I currently work full time but am available both weekends anytime and during the week after 3 pm. I do make every effort to spend as much time as possible caring and attending to your furry friend! I make sure to ensure the pets have water at all times, a clean environment, and a safe environment free from any hazards. I personally take my dog’s collar off if he is in his crate but would check with clients if they prefer that while I am gone. I make sure they get enough exercise and play time (and snuggles!)
“Sky was great. We put out a last minute request for someone to watch our puppy while we went out to dinner for our anniversary. She responded immediately. She showed up on time, was very professional, and did a great job taking care of our puppy. Would highly recommend.”
“Kyle was FANTASTIC! My Lexi is getting older, so there were some things I needed him to do on the fly, like respond to any changes in her appetite or mood. He wasn't the least bit bothered and gave her all the love, care and attention she needed. I also really appreciated his daily updates and pictures. When I came home, she was in great spirits and my home was immaculate. Thank you Kyle!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Crabtree is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 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 Crabtree 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 Crabtree 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 Crabtree 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crabtree. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
