“Amazing experience! Jadyn was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures. She was prompt, respectful and I could tell my Louie loved her. I will not hesitate to use Jadyn again!”
“Landon was attentive, timely, and reassuring with our girl! He left our home in perfect condition and followed all the minute and specific things we asked him to do. Thank you Landon!!”
“Madison was very communicative and responsive during the stay - sending updates and photos, which was appreciated. She arrived on time and let us know when she was leaving. She also threw a ball for our dog pretty much 24/7 so she is now his new best friend 😊. Pets were well cared for and litter boxes were clean - this was a great experience for us using Madison and Rover for the first time!”
“My first time to try Rover was with Colleen and I couldn’t be happier with everything she did. My dog is aging so I worry about her whenever I leave her anywhere but I definitely feel better when I can leave her at home. Colleen understood what my old girl needed when meeting new people which is always a concern for me. She also left the house so neat - it’s great to come home to a clean house. I couldn’t recommend Colleen more!”
“She was really great with my dogs and left my house clean and even got my laundry and dishes started without me asking. It was my first time having a sitter stay at my place, and it worked out well.”
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
“Max stayed with our 4 dogs for over two weeks - no small task with 3 doodles and one still a puppy (6 months)! I was worried leaving them for so long but Max did a great job and wasn’t phased by the gang and their individual personalities! I definitely will use Max again. Thank you Max!!”
“Very professional and caring. Would 100% recommend again. She goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs were comfortable. Very respectful of your house and my dogs were happy.”
“Olivia is kind, and incredibly responsible. We felt so at ease leaving our dog in her care. She was receptive to our requests, and treated our dog as her own. He had the best time, and we will book her again the next time we need care for Comet!”
“Bianca took good care of our pups while we were away. She wasn’t able to stay overnight like we planned all nights but she made sure to care for our animals while away. Would recommend using for drop ins and overnights possibly.”
“Lilianais is an absolute dream sitter. I cannot recommend her enough. As nervous dog parents, she was incredible. Our two Shih Tzu puppies and our Corgi mix loved her. Our home and our babies were so well taken care of and our experience with Lilanais was fantastic.”
“Can’t say enough great things about Victoria. From the moment she met our dogs it was clear she cares a lot for dogs of all temperaments and can form an instant connection with them. We deeply appreciated the updates throughout our time away from home. Highly recommend!”
About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.
About: I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. It is our responsibility as humans to take the best care of them. Every dog is special and deserves to be attended to appropriately. I am a Waco local and student at MCC studying to become a teacher. I’m currently working part time most weekdays until 6 pm. I can take appointments starting at 6:30 which is perfect during this Texas heat. I wouldn’t mind doing later walks when the weather is cooler. I will always make sure your pet is healthy and happy! My goal is to take extraordinary care of your pet and make sure it has everything it needs
About: I've been doing this for over 15 yrs. I enjoy loving on fur babies and playing with them. It fills my heart with lots of joy. I'm a full time house & pet sitter. I'm available 24/7. I also work holidays! I rarely take time for myself, so choose me please! I am great at keeping a schedule & following your routine. I am not afraid of special needs babies. Ex: diapers, meds or anything else
About: I started my journey on rover over a year ago. Part of what encouraged me to get into pet sitting was my background. I grew up on farm so my family had a lot of room to foster cats and dogs. There were times we would have 6 dogs staying with us at once, each with their own funny quirks. I fell in love with getting know each of their personalities and taking care of them. Since starting rover I’ve worked with everything: reactive dogs, food aggressive, high energy, senior and disabled. It’s been a great experience getting to know all the dogs. I also have my own sweet puppy named Birdie. She loves interacting with all the clients that come to visit. I’ve had her since she was 2 weeks old and she’s always been a social butterfly. I’ve noticed she helps other dogs staying with us adjust to the environment quicker. She’s very high energy and is guaranteed to wear your pup out. My rates are higher for house sitting and boarding because I accept last minute clients. As for my schedule, I work a full time job and will be gone during normal hours. If your dog requires constant care the rate with go up to $250 a night and I will need at least 2 weeks notice to notify my job. Drop-In’s: For dogs I will not accept bookings that have less than 2 drop-in’s a day scheduled. This is because dogs become stressed when left alone too long and can become destructive. I also want to be able to check on them for health reasons. During the drop-in your dog will go on a walk that equal half the time of the drop-in you have booked (30 min drop-in = 15 minute walk). They will be fed and given water, and the rest of the drop-in will be spent playing inside. Their food bowls will be cleaned and water bowls refreshed. If there are any messes caused by the dog, those will be cleaned up as well. I do offer grooming (I will not do nails or teeth) for $30 extra. Photo’s will be provided at the end of each drop-in. Walks: Dogs will always be walked separately. It will be a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood, and then they will be given water before I leave. I do offer adventure hikes, where I will take your dog to a location of your choosing for a walk. This can include a trail, a public park, a lake, or just to a different neighborhood. There will be an extra charge for any reactivity or excessive pulling, this will come out to about $10 extra.

FAQs for House Sitting - Crawford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crawford. 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 Crawford 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 Crawford 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 Crawford 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.
