“Owein was amazing! He came ahead of time to meet the pups and talk through all the care stuff in person which I really appreciated! Owein was so thorough, thoughtful, and took extra care to make me feel confident with their care. I was sent regular updates a couple of photos which was great! Overall, the care my dogs received was fantastic and I would definitely like to have Owein watch my dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Carley was amazing! I highly recommend her! She was professional, on time, and checked in on my dogs multiple times a day. Carley checked in with me multiple times a day and sent me multiple photos. I felt very comfortable knowing she was taking such good care of my boys. I will definitely book her again!”
About: I have experience with senior dogs as I took care of my own senior dog while I was in high school, so I am aware of the unique love and care that they need and appreciate. I also love working with high energy dogs as my family dog back home Toby has unlimited energy for play, so I would love to help your dog get their fill while you’re away! I also now have a cat of my own (shout out James) and I absolutely love taking care of cats and their unique quirks! I would love to take care of your wonderful cat so they are comfortable and taken care of while you’re away from home! I am currently getting my master's in counseling, so I have plenty of time during the day outside of my few class times to make sure your pet is properly taken care for! I spoil my cat James! I have adjusted my balcony in my apartment to make sure he gets plenty of time to bird watch with me while I enjoy my morning coffee and book! Figuring out his unique personality and how to take care of him based on his needs was important, as he is very particular with the types of toys he likes! I also loved getting him a water fountain instead of a bowl to make sure James gets enough water! All that being said I want to make sure I spoil your dog or cat just as good as I care for my James!
“This was our second time using Ken. He is so great and attentive with Chewy and tolerates all of our questions about how she’s doing which is very much appreciated. He is very understanding of her anxiety and general weirdness. It is such a blessing to be able to confidently leave her in his care and not have to be concerned about a single thing.”
“Gabrielle was amazing. She took great care of our babies. She sent lots of pictures and they were as happy as can be. We will definitely be using her again. So happy to have found someone who loves on our babies as much as we do. Can’t thank her enough for relieving the stress of needing to leave them in someone else’s care.”
“Madison was amazing and so sweet to my boys. The house was perfect when we got home and my dogs were happy ! Nothing more I could’ve asked for! I would recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Rachel was great! I was nervous about leaving the dogs with a new person I’d not met in-person. We FaceTimed and talked all weekend. She sent tons of videos and pictures. Left my house clean and my babies were so happy. I will definitely use her again.”
“Timia was great to our pups while we were away! She was a joy to get to meet beforehand. She took her time letting the dogs get to know her. Dogs seemed to have a great time with her here, and we came home to two well cared for pups. Thanks Timia for easing our minds while we were away, and loving on them extra well. If schedules align, we will definitely have Timia back!”
About: I grew up in a home with 10 cats, 3 dogs and a turtle, so YES I love animals!! I've petsat for friends and coworkers with animals all kinds- dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, you name it! I'm currently working full time, with availability in the mornings and late nights. I also have every other thurs-sun off, so I am available full time then. I am looking to switch to part time work so I have more time to take care of your pets! I have a fenced backyard with lots of room for your pup to run around. Pets will be allowed on furniture. I do have 2 cats in the home, so be aware of that! They are friendly.
“Charlotte was the biggest blessing to us! In the toughest week with no power she showed up and loved our fur babies - showering them with treats and love and suggested an amazing supplement that is already helping our old girl move easier. Despite the lack of electricity she went above and beyond. A million times YES to this angel!!”
“Stephanie was communicative before and during our vacation, which we very much appreciate. She loves animals, was compassionate and attentive to our instructions. One of our dogs had tummy issues while we were away and poor Stephanie had to manage all-hours outings, but did so without complaint and with pity for Jack! We’d love to work with her again and recommend her confidently.”
“Haley took care of our 5 cats and 1 dog during an overnight visit. All of our kids seemed happy and relaxed when we got home. Our extremely shy cats even came out shortly after she arrived -- this means they felt very safe with her. We were impressed; she has a demeanor that makes pets feel very safe. She took great care of everyone, and also gave medication to one of our cats. She sent several photos of our kids, which we appreciated.”
About: I have had a pet in the household all my life and it has always been my responsibility to contribute to caring for them. Not only am I pet owner, but I have experience fostering kittens, puppies, and sick animals. I am confident in my ability to provide the best care for your animals! As a student, I have a fairly open and flexible schedule. My busiest days are Tuesdays and Thursdays, but even then, I have breaks throughout the day that allow me to stop by and care for your pets. On all other weekdays my availability is wide open, and I’m always available on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent, reliable care. I care for your pet the way that I would care for my own! You can expect me to play with them, take them on walks, feed them, and provide any sort of medical attention they need.
“Lisa is a very dependable and loving dog sitter. She showed up on time and patiently went over the details on how to care for our two pups overnight. She asked great questions so that everything was covered, including things I didn't remember like medicine and keys! Our pups were calm and happy on our return. Could not ask for a better caregiver than Lisa! We are so fortunate to have connected with her!”
“I can’t recommend Katelyn enough. She took such great care of my dog and followed all of his rules and needs. Normally he gets very anxious when I leave and won’t eat much or go potty (poop). but with Katelyn that wasn’t a problem at all. He felt comfortable right away and it was clear when I got home that he had completely fallen in love with her. He ate a lot yay ! Her flexible schedule made it easy for her to let him out every 4 to 6 hours, which was a huge help. She also communicated clearly and often, sending lots of photos and updates that gave me peace of mind. On top of that, she gave him all the cuddles and attention he loves, and he was happy and relaxed when I returned. Katelyn is amazing, and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Crane Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 616 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crane Forest. 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 Crane Forest 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 Crane Forest 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 Crane Forest 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crane Forest. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
