“Katie house sat for us and loved on our lab, Fran! She is probably one of the best communicators and sent frequent pictures and videos throughout our 6 day vacation. She was also kind, courteous, and trustworthy. We will definitely reach out to Katie for our next vacation when Fran needs care!”
“Ava watched our senior, blind dog Bella yesterday. She did a great job! She sent us a pic of Bella with an update of how she was doing. She was attentive when we were describing Bella's routine. We recommend her highly.”
About: I’ve been caring for cats for many years and have experience pet sitting for both cats and dogs for friends and family. While my background is stronger with cats, I’m comfortable handling the day-to-day needs of dogs as well, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and maintaining routines. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away, so I make it a priority to carefully follow any instructions regarding feeding, medications, dietary restrictions, routines, or other special care needs. Because I work remotely, I’m also able to spend much more time at home with pets than many sitters can, which means more company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I currently work remotely on a typical Monday–Friday daytime schedule and am able to work from anywhere within the state, which means I can comfortably set up my work-from-home station while house and pet sitting. This allows me to be much more present and attentive throughout the day compared to sitters who may be away for long periods of time. My work is also fairly flexible, allowing me to adjust meetings and tasks as needed to help accommodate feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and other routine care. Weekends are typically very open for me as well, giving me even more flexibility and availability for your pets’ needs. I currently have two cats of my own: Draco, an 11-year-old part Manx, and Loki, a 6-year-old black American Shorthair. I’ve had both of them since they were kittens, and caring for them has given me years of hands-on experience with maintaining routines, monitoring health, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets. Draco previously needed some extra attention with his weight and diet, and through a consistent feeding routine and focused care, he was able to lose over 10 pounds and maintain a much healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced for me how important consistency, patience, and closely following care instructions can be for pets. Loki is a rescue and can be a little shy at first, so I also understand the importance of giving pets time to adjust, respecting their comfort levels, and helping anxious pets feel safe and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.
“Samantha is absolutely amazing! She is so sweet and flexible, which made booking with her incredibly easy. After meeting her, we felt completely comfortable having her stay with our hounds. She sent us daily updates with photos and even brought a package inside for us. We will definitely reach out to her the next time we go out of town. Highly recommend Samantha! ❤️”
“Lindsey did a great job taking care of our 3 fur babies while we were gone. She kept in contact with us everyday when she was leaving and returning as well as some adorable pictures of them all snuggling together while watching a movie. Lindsey left everything the way she found it and took great care of everything in our home as well. The pups were very happy when we returned home and were not stressed out at all. We will definitely use Lindsey again and highly recommend her.❤️”
“Leigh was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! She was timely and communicative throughout her stay. We could tell our dogs were well loved on while she was there. Highly recommend!”
“We usually don’t write reviews for anything, but Mary's exceptional caretaking skills prompted us to take the time to sing her praises. If you’re a detail oriented pet parent who can’t imagine someone would be able to take as great care of your pets as yourself–or your family–this review is for you. We were nervous as this was our first time having someone we’d never met to live in our home and take care of our pets for 10 days while we were out of the country. Mary instantly put every single one of our worries to rest. Mary was able to follow a very detailed daily regimen for our senior (15 year old) German Shepherd & our 2 cats. She let our dog out several times during the day to minimize the risk of any indoor accidents. She stuck to a 3x daily medication schedule, and she gave the pets plenty of love throughout the process. In sticking to our pets daily schedule, she essentially stepped in as an extension of our own caretaking which allowed our pets to feel very comfortable in our absence. Communication was 10/10! She provided daily of updates with pictures and never hesitated to ask a question if something unexpected came up. She also left our home clean and in great shape! We highly recommend Mary for any prospective client!! Thank you so much Mary!!”
“Words cannot explain how at peace we were with Gabriella being at our house for 2 weeks and taking care of our fur babies! The boys were well loved and taken care of, the house was spotless and the communication was top notch! Don't hesitate for a single second, she is the best one out there!!”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Adriannne was amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our pets and our home, while we were away for a week on a trip. She followed all of our instructions for care. She was reliable and communicated quickly and frequently with us before and during our trip. We have a cat and three dogs, including a high-energy 110 pound lab, and Adrianne took great care of all of them. Adrianne demonstrated that she has the expertise and experience with how to manage a variety of pets and dog breeds and personalities. We returned to a very clean home and very happy and healthy pets. We will definitely reach out to Adrianne again next time we take a trip.”
“Bennett has watched my dogs a couple of time now but I continue to be impressed. He scheduled a meet up before our dates so we could touch base about changes to the dogs. He also remains unfazed by the energetic nature of my two rascals. So thankful for his consistent good care while I am away.”
About: I have grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve dog sat for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped train my family’s dogs in the past so if there are any reinforcements or cues necessary on walks I’m more than capable of helping to keep a routine! I’m currently full time graduate student, but I have some free afternoons with plenty of time to walk your pets! I am also flexible to do drop ins for potty breaks and evening feedings. I do not have any pets but I can help care for your pet with walks! If there are specific needs your dog requires such as to be crated after walks I am more than willing to follow any directions for making sure your pet is safe and comfortable!
“We love having Tracy sit for us when we are out of town! She treats Jake like he is her own, and he has amazing adventures with her! We always get a ton of pictures and updates! She is literally the best!”
“Natalie was great! The dogs loved her and I didn’t feel like I needed to worry about them at all. She checked in often, was on top of the scheduling, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Would definitely work with her again!”
“I have had Stephanie watch my dogs twice now, and she is amazing with them! The second round, my senior dog had some unexpected GI issues that Stephanie handled perfectly. Clear communication, very responsive. I will definitely book again!”

Azra was absolutely wonderful, and I am so happy to recommend her!! She took excellent care of my pets during her recent booking, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her capable hands. Even though there seemed to be a glitch, and the system didn't send her the detailed message I had texted with specific instructions about where things are located and how to best care for my pets, Azra was incredibly observant and resourceful. She intuitively understood their needs and provided them with everything they required, making this pet-sitting experience truly outstanding.
Andrew was an absolutely wonderful house and dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, communication was excellent. He sent us regular updates and photos of both of our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well, Andrew immediately informed us, kept a close eye on her, and handled the situation with great care and responsibility. What really stood out was how proactive and thoughtful he was - when the dog food we had ordered didn’t arrive in time, Andrew went out and bought new food himself to make sure everything was taken care of. Our home was in great hands, both dogs were clearly very well cared for and loved, and we felt completely comfortable trusting Andrew. We would absolutely recommend him and would not hesitate to book him again. Thank you so much, Andrew!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,604 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crescent. 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 Crescent 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 Crescent 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 Crescent 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.

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.
