“Casey did an excellent job with Anisa and Cairo. Even with the cold weather last week Casey still made sure they got out of the house on walks and to the park. She even took the necessary precautions for my home during the freezing weather to ensure no damage while I was away. Highly recommend.”
“Katie was the best! She stayed with our doggos for many days/nights and made sure they felt happy & comfortable. They got lots of play time and I got many many pic and video updates of my girls. ♥️ We will definitely use Katie again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats since I was 5 years old. I was responsible for the care of our family pets including a pig, goat & chickens. Friends and family have asked me to help with their pets when out of town, etc. I am comfortable administering oral medication to dogs & cats. I'm retired, so will have lots of availability to love and care for your pets. I am available day and night. If there are any conflicts I will do my best to work with your schedule. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I will be very careful coming in and out of an owner's home and follow any guidelines given.
“Linda was amazing with our GSD. She kept us updated daily while we were out of town and sent lots of pictures. It made traveling easier knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and use her in the future!”
“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.”
About: I have had pets my entire life I have raised a cat to the age of 23 for entire life and have recently raised 2 beautiful baby boys from the the bottle. I have also had 4 or more dogs my entire life. Im always available all year around whenever you need me im there to take care of your wonderful pets only days I might not be available is if my own pets need something I have a fully enclosed yard and water available at all times I do have other pets but they are wonderful pets they love other pets
“Jennifer is the best sitter you can have. This was our first time using her while out of town. My dog requires meds and has severe anxiety and he was so calm and comfortable with her. She kept us updated daily with videos and pics which made us more relaxed. The puppers unexpectedly needed some stitches a few days before our trip and required some extra care and Jennifer was absolutely great about it and did all the extra needed things. We had pre visits due to his anxiety and she came to these and walked him. She walked him 2 times a day while we were gone and he loved it. My neighbors raved how great Jennifer is. I am afraid she will be booked the next time I need her because she is highly sought out. Not only did she take great care of my puppers she washed her bedding and remade the bed. She swept the floors and took out the trash. I really cannot say enough good things about her. We are so greatful we were able to find her.”
“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
“Heather took great care of my four babies during the holidays! She sent in frequent updates, including photos, and followed all of the instructions provided. I would definitely book again!”
“Great Experience! Wonderful experience with Emmie! She took great care of our dogs, kept us updated, and gave them plenty of love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 years old, caring for pets of all kinds for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve done everything from walking, feeding, bathing, and playtime to staying with pets for weeks at a time while their families are away. I’m a huge animal lover (I always joke that I love dogs more than people 😂), and I have two of my own babies! I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, loved, entertained, and cared for just like they’re my own. I’m a full-time hairstylist with the flexibility to create my own schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine! I’m consistently available in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I can schedule breaks throughout my workday when needed. I’m also available for overnight stays, so your pets can have plenty of company and care while you’re away! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and company while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send pictures and updates for a little extra peace of mind! I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Hunter did a great job taking care of my dogs. They liked him from the moment he walked in the house, so I felt at ease leaving them in his care. Hunter kept me updated throughout the time with phone calls and texts. And he also cleaned up after them when one had an accident. I was pleased with the service. Highly recommended.”
“Lori was amazing with our fur babies! She was incredibly responsive, keeping us updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages, which put our minds at ease. Our pups were clearly happy and well cared for under her watch. Lori went above and beyond to ensure they were comfortable and loved. We’re so grateful for her care and will book her again soon! I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter to stay at your house.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,123 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 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.
