“Robyn is fantastic! She took the time to get to know us and our dogs before the stay. She house and dog sat for us for 12 nights. She communicated every day and often, which is my preference. I love my fur babies and it’s hard to be away. Robyn did a wonderful job and the dogs adore her! Robyn also cleaned house and did the laundry- even though that wasn’t a requirement for us. She went above and beyond!! I highly recommend Robyn.”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 5 years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, cleaning enclosures, and administering oral or topical medications when needed. I understand how important it is to follow routines closely and provide attentive, reliable care so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience and respect as if they were my own! I know every pet has their own routine, so I do my best to stick to what they're used to. Whether that's mealtimes, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, my goal is to help them feel comfortable while you're away. I'll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see how they're doing! I focus on providing attentive, responsible care during drop-in visits and walks. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and routine instructions and make sure pets are secure before leaving. Clear communication and updates are always provided for peace of mind.
“Katie is an absolute gem! Warm and communicative and clearly a dog lover. She is the kind of person you can trust right away. We are so happy to have find her and can tell the dogs adore her as well. Highly recommend!”
“Kiah was incredible. Great communication, loving care for three aging doggies, and the house was spotless. I would book her again without hesitation. You and your pets will LOVE her warm and bubbly personality.”
“Jessica was a wonderful sitter to our dog! She communicated frequently and clearly, and we were at ease while we were away knowing that our dog was being well cared for. We highly recommend her!”
“Pauline was absolutely great with my girl Juna. She is kind, very thorough and a very responsible dog sitter who will love on your dog as much, if not more, than you do. Would highly recommend her services. Thanks Pauline!”
“Great! We had Carlos house-sit for our two dogs and plethora of outdoor plants. He was great with our dogs, took them on daily walks, and even watered our outdoor plants during our 5 night trip. We are always pleased to be able to use Rover instead of board at a kennel, and we will call Carlos again!”

About: I have grown up with and taken care animals since I can remember from dogs and cats to fish and birds to even chickens! I have watched puppies and senior dogs.

About: I have been an avid animal lover my entire life, and have a special interest in dogs. I have a base level of knowledge on all breeds and creeds that goes beyond the typical level of interest for most folks. I have always been the person who brings home every stray I see, and I currently have a mini dachshund puppy named Lady May! I have experience working with senior dogs, puppies, medically complex dogs, and of course, just normal dogs! I also have experience in working with and caring for exotic pets including rabbits, chameleons, turtles, tortoises, and frogs. I am lucky enough to live and work on the same property, and I am able to bring my dog to work with me whenever I want! As a result, I am also able to offer the same to my clients! I live on a 500 acre property in Creston, so I have tons of space for all sorts of animals. I have a fenced yard and access to tons of acreage, so there’s an abundance of space for dogs to play and run each day!

Caring for animals naturally fits into my lifestyle, and I bring that same sense of responsibility and joy to every pet I look after. I have a very open schedule which can accommodate a variety of time slots. I also provide local and long distance and can travel globally. I always require an online Meet & Greet before every booking to ensure we are a great fit. I maintain secure environments by double-checking leashes, securing gates, and pet-proofing spaces to prevent accidents. When house sitting, I respect your property as if it were my own. I follow your precise care instructions, ensure doors and windows are securely locked. I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. In the rare event of an emergency, I am familiar with local 24/7 veterinary clinics and am backed by the Rover Guarantee.
“Lauren was incredible!! We loved having her stay at our house with our pup. We gave her a lot of information and she absorbed it all and did such a wonderful job. We highly recommend her for your pet needs :)”
“Alyssa house sat for us while we were out of town. We have large dogs and one with particularly high energy and she gave him the extra attention he needed. She made sure he was well exercised and had plenty of play time outside. She was very communicative and extremely respectful of our home. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Mindy took great care of our three fur babies for the weekend! She sent updates with photos of each and was professional in her coming/going. She left the bedding folded and the house tidy when she left. We appreciated her flexibility in adding on an additional night to the original booking as well. We will be booking again! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Creston on Rover is $106.56 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 487 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Creston. 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 Creston 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 Creston 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 Creston 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Creston. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
