“Our dogs took to Dawn right away. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We wre able to enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were being loved on and taken care of. I would definitely book Dawn again.”
“Lauren is truly AMAZING. From the moment she arrived, she was so sweet, calm, and patient with our dogs. She took the time to get to know them, understood their little quirks, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. She took them out regularly, kept us updated, and treated them with so much kindness that it felt like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will absolutely be using her again in the future.”

Great with watering plants, etc. I am currently on a lay off (Sept 2026) from my company of 4 years, AMEX, so my schedule is wide open. I am a trusted professional, handling years of financials and PII. I am a notary public and have a current back ground check (9/2026) on hand as well. I love to ride my horses and workout and spend time with my 3 yo son. I have rodeoed my entire life from JR to college to WPRAs. I enjoy getting out in nature and being with animals; they help you see joy and live in the moment, they are a true blessing. I am doing this on the side to bring light and love into my daily routine. My schedule is currently wide open. If you are looking for someone extremely reliable, responsible, knows how to care for many animal species, I would love to speak with you and see if we have a connection and if this a fit for both parties.

About: With 6 plus years of dog-sitting experience for friends and family, I have cared for small and large breeds, puppies to senior dogs. I also completed a doggy daycare program in high school, where I gained hands on experience in grooming, training, and handling dogs with all kinds of personalities. I love working with pups on new tricks and giving them lots of love and attention while you're away. I truly believe any dog can learn new tricks at any age. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my one month old and I'm starting school to become a Veterinary Assistant. Because I'm home all day (apart from quick errands if needed), your pup will get plenty of attention and care. I'm available for overnight boarding any day of the week. I take one dog at a time to make sure they get my full attention, but I'm happy to host siblings / one family at a time. I have a fully fenced-in yard for your pup to run around and play safely. I also do about two walks a day if your pup enjoys walking. I have a friendly, hyper pup of my own and a cat to keep your dog company, but I can easily keep them separated if needed. I have an extra crate small and large available for sleeping or mealtimes if needed. I have plenty of toys and treats to keep your pup entertained, and I promise they'll get lots of cuddles, love, and attention!
“Lindsey was by far the best sitter we’ve ever had. Needed to find someone to stay with our pup because she has a lot of anxiety being alone after losing her dog brother and we were very nervous about leaving her! Lindsey was thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, helpful and communicated with us throughout. Our dog felt comfortable with her within 5 minutes and we could tell from the photos that she felt safe with her. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable.”
“Jennifer was very kind to watch Mamba with less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated! Mamba also had a last-minute vet visit and Jennifer was still willing to watch her with a cone, and some new medication to administer that I had not planned on. Everything went smoothly! Loved getting pictures as well!”
“Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our house while away for the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how our sweet fur babies were doing. She is very reliable and trustworthy. We definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets from veiled chameleons to diabetic cats. My biggest worry when traveling is leaving my pets behind, that’s why I want to pet sit. I want people to be able to relax knowing I’ll care for their babies the way that they would. I am currently working part time and my shifts are only about 6 hours long so I’ll be complete free at least four days a week making my schedule very flexible. I have a dog but he is never left unsupervised with other animals and is always crated when I am not around . He is great with all animals and knows he isn’t allowed to chase any small animals like cats. I also have an extra room in my house which will be used for cats that I board. This is so that your cat doesn’t have to stress about interacting with any of my pets and they can relax in their own quiet room while you’re away. As for dogs this will depend on if they are crate trained or not. I personally crate my dog when I am not at home or actively watching him this is because I spend roughly 4 hours a day training, walking, feeding, etc so he gets plenty of time out of the crate to do things. That being said when I have dogs in my care they are given their own private room if they are not crate trained or crated if they are crate trained when I am not around. I have a separate area in my yard that has a large outdoor kennel where my dog will be separate from yours so that your dog can enjoy the entire back yard for bathroom/play breaks without having to interact with my dog. Your pets safety is my number one concern and I wouldn’t want anything happening even by accident! Thank you! Feel free to ask any questions!
About: I have my own two dogs, a lab and a golden retriever who I love to take care of. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, and playtime. I love giving dogs the fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m available for dog walks in the afternoon and evening, and I’m flexible with timing depending on your pup’s needs. Whether it’s a midday break or an evening stroll, I’m happy to help! I have my own dogs, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I make sure mine get plenty of exercise, healthy meals, and lots of love every day.
About: I love taking care of pets, whether it would be horses, chickens, dogs, or cats. I enjoy taking care of them and treat them like they are my own! I’m a pretty flexible person and will do what is required of me to take care of your pet from going on walks and anything else needed! I have a fenced yard at my house; however I am unable at the moment to host pets at my house. I will come to your house to take care of your fur baby
“Destini was so great! She took good care of our pups while we were out and stayed in touch with us. No doubt they were a bit trying at times but she handled it like a pro! Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs all my life (of all ages) and enjoy working with them. I currently have 3 dogs that require lots of attention! Most dogs take an instant liking and trust with me and so do cats. I have no allergies to pets either. I have 2 years of exotics professionally with birds, amphibians, and reptiles. I also have my bachelors in environmental science with a concentration in animal sciences. Senior dogs, especially hounds, have my heart! I’m currently job-hunting and am looking for income to raise money for law school. I am free most days and can do weekends and overnight stays. I have a full fenced backyard as well as a dog door for emergencies. I feed my dogs separately. Room doors are always open if animals need anything and a doggie door to go outside. At your home you can expect respect and cleanliness. I appreciate written instructions on how you like things at your home. Additionally, please let me know rules on eating in the house, guests, etc.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,098 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cresson. 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 Cresson 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 Cresson 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 Cresson 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 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.
