About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and my neighbors pets since middle school. I have gone to neighbors houses while they were away to just take the dogs out and feed them or clean their house supplies. This has been in a setting where I stay at the cilent’s house or I go over for a few hours a day. I have cared for small, big, young, and old dogs, I love them all! I am currently working Monday - Thursday Mondays and Tuesdays 8-5 Wednesdays and Thursdays 7-3. I am also unfortunately allergic to most dogs that shred and would need hypoallergenic dogs to care for. I have a vechile to be able to reach you and your pets. I have stayed at houses with and without fences when dog sitting.

About: My name is Olivia L. and i recently moved back to Kansas City. I have had a passion for animals since i was a child, always looking to go to the farm and take care of the animals, looking after my friends and family’s pets, and trying to see if i could convince my parents to add a new edition to the family. I have had many pets over the years and i am always interested in giving some love and attention to any animal who is willing to love me back! Hiring me to be your dog or cat caretaker would not only be an honor but an amazing opportunity to connect with Earth’s most pure creatures. Thankyou for taking the time to read my bio! I look forward to working with you! I am currently working part-time and i make my own hours so i am very flexible! I look forward to playing with animals most in my week and daily life! i currently live in a large house to accommodate any size pet with a big fenced back yard! I do not provide a kennel and believe animals should spend little to no time in them! I have two cats but if your pet does not get along with felines i can easily have them separated!

About: I have taken care of friends and family members dogs while they are out of town or just not available. I love learning the dog’s personality and giving them the care that works best for them. I work 11am-7pm M-F, so I will be able to check in on pets in the morning, during my lunch break, and after work as well. I currently have one anxious chihuahua, which makes me especially aware of the importance of making the animal comfortable and not pushing boundaries. I grew up with a variety of dogs with all different energy levels, temperaments, and size, so I am comfortable adapting to what is best for the animal!

I would recommend Philipp to help care for your pups!”

The average cost of House Sitting in Craig is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 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 Craig 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 Craig 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Craig 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.
