“Leanissa is great! Always leaves a lot of pictures and details about her time with Teddy. Her response time is quick. She does great with Teddy, making sure he goes potty and giving him lots of cuddles so he’s not sad when she leaves. I would highly recommend booking her!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in middle school. For four years, I assisted in end-of-life care for a senior dog along with being a farmhand for two horses. My previous job in Florida was at an animal shelter, and consisted of feeding, cleaning, and medicating up to 40 kittens/cats/dogs a day. I am available any time, any day of the week. I’m currently job searching for a position at a shelter, so in the meantime I would love to meet your animals and make friends! I live in an apartment with my partner and two kittens. I feed them twice a day, with a capsule of Proviable split between them. They are strictly indoor kitties, and I have given them both a flea bath.

“Kelly was AMAZING!!! Her timing was prompt & she went above and beyond my expectations. Working long shifts in healthcare leaves me so stressed knowing my furbabies are at home alone & knowing they got such good care from Kelly was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough. For taking the extra time to walk her, making sure she got multiple potty opportunities, and the photo updates. Highly recommend 🤩”

About: Hi! I have always been a huge animal lover! I have five pets of my own who I absolutely adore, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. Through my veterinary shadowing experience, I’ve spent time around animals of all sizes with a variety of personalities. I would describe myself as patient, caring, and understanding, especially with animals who may be shy, nervous, or anxious around new people. I know every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to help them feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I would be more than happy to help! I am a college student with some free time throughout the afternoons! I am happy to help with walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or even a quick check-in to provide some extra love and attention. My availability varies depending on my class schedule, but I am flexible and happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pets! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and any specific instructions provided. I am patient, gentle, and attentive, especially with animals who may be nervous or need extra reassurance. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of love and attention. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I will always treat them as if they were my own!

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my patience, dependability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has its own personality, needs, and routine, and I always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to giving each pet the attention and care they deserve. I am also very responsible, attentive to detail, and great at following instructions, so pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry friends are in good hands! Im currently in school so I am available all day during the weekend Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but only after 4pm on Mondays and Wednesdays When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their normal routines and schedules. I ensure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also make sure their environment stays clean and safe. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable while their owners are away, so I treat every home and pet with the same care, respect, and responsibility I would my own. I am happy to follow any specific instructions or routines to make sure each pet receives the best care possible.

About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a dedicated animal lover and an experienced veterinary technician who understands that your pets are family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including seniors, puppies, kittens, and pets with medical needs. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or simply someone to give them extra love while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine and behavior, and I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and handling unexpected situations calmly. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your furry family members with someone you can trust. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I can stop by before 8:00 am and after 3:00 pm on Saturday. I don’t work a set schedule so my availability will stay up to date. I will always try to work you in. I have a super friendly dogs and 3 cats that been around dogs many times. Your dog will get lots of outside time and walks at a trail near my house. Also will be able to provide enrichment for other animals.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals. Cats, dogs, lizards, snakes, hamsters, etc. I have also owned all of those animals. I will imitate what you do at home so that their schedule remains intact because as a pet parent I know how important that schedule can be. I only work at night three days a week. I have a lot of free time on my hands during the week. Especially in the day time. I will take care of your pet just how you would. Everything you do I will do my best to replicate it. I’m here to make them as comfortable as you would.

“This was my first time booking with Kayla and using the Rover app! Kayla was so helpful and showed so much care towards our cat! She showed up when scheduled and sent thoughtful updates even about our cat’s moods. Our anxious girl warmed up to her very quickly. No doubt we would love to book her again!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Crane Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,094 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Crane Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crane Forest. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
