About: I grew up with two Bichons, which happened to be the high light of my childhood/teenage years. I now have two dogs of my own, Newt and Ember. I have a cat as well, Janis. I am an animal lover and understand how difficult it can be to find someone to care for what’s considered to be family. If I am able to help in a small way that is affordable, I would love to greet your babies with comfort while you are away. My current job allows for me to have 3 days weekend every other week. Full days during the week depending on the week. I would be more than happy to cover an entire weekend of care or two days on at a time of care. My dogs roam freely in my home. I personally have a doggy gate to avoid any countersurfing while cooking, my golden, Newt, will snag whatever is available if possible. Whatever is asked of me for your animal I will accommodate. Unable to care for animals that have habits of using potty inside home.
“Angelica did a great job house sitting our dogs. She was a great communicator and sent lots of updates. She cleaned up after our dogs and left our home in good order. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.”
“Katherine was recommended to us from close friends and was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our Maltipoo, Bella, while we were away. We received a photo and daily updates, which gave us a peace of mind. Katherine is pleasant, trustworthy, communicative and clearly loves animals. We came home to a happy Bella. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Tammy was very attentive and patient with our pups and showed them lots of love. One is a bit difficult but she won him over in a short time. We can’t wait to have Tammy watch our fur babies again.”
“Kerry is very sweet. She sending us a Pictures of Max allthe time and anytime I wanted to check on Max she was available and answered right away. She is very nice and kind. I would highly recommend her!!!!”
“Jenny was the best pet sitter I have ever used! Our doggo has a little bit of separation anxiety at first, but she was very patient and let him warm up to her. She took tons of pictures, videos, and sent lots of updates. I knew Gus was in great hands. I would highly recommend Jenny!”
“Chasity went above and beyond for my two dogs! She kept me posted throughout the whole weekend on how the dogs were doing. Even stayed later than I booked, she’s amazing and I will definitely be using her in the near future! Thanks Chasity for caring for my babies like they are your own!”
“Larianna looked after my Bulldog for a week while I was away. She took great care of him and sent lots of pictures and videos. She is really good about communicating and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”
“Auriel was absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. From the moment she arrived, she was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring toward each of our four animals. She took the time to learn their individual personalities and quirks, and it showed in how quickly they warmed up to her. They absolutely loved her, and we could tell they felt safe and happy in her care. She kept us updated and gave us peace of mind while we were away, which meant so much to our family. Knowing our pets were in such good hands made all the difference. We would recommend Auriel without hesitation and will definitely be calling on her again!”
“Gislene is a wonderful person and I cannot recommend her enough! I loved the update pictures and was very happy to have such a reliable person to leave my dogs with.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, including dogs, cats, senior pets, and pets with special routines. I have two dogs and a three-legged cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, medication reminders, basic grooming needs, and giving pets the time they need to feel safe. My background in healthcare and the military has also made me very detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and good at following instructions carefully. I know pets are family, and I treat them with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’m not currently working outside of caring for pets so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, boarding, and house sitting depending on your pet’s routine. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, potty breaks, medications, walks, playtime, crate time, and bedtime routines. Because my schedule is open, I can give pets more one-on-one care and help keep their day as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my biggest priorities. I have a fenced yard and can provide supervised potty breaks, playtime, and quiet rest time. Because I have pets of my own, I’m careful with introductions and can keep animals separated with crates, doors, or gates whenever needed. I never force interactions and always pay attention to each pet’s body language, stress level, and comfort. I’m also very careful with feeding instructions, medications, leash safety, doors, gates, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I want you to feel confident that they are being watched closely, treated kindly, and cared for like family.
“Katelyn was great with my 2 dogs. I felt so much better about leaving them knowing they would be taken care of and given attention. She sent a lot of pictures & videos to to reassure me they were doing well! 10/10 would recommend & hire again. Thank you! ?”
About: I was raised around dogs and have taken care of all types for family and friends for years. I care for large breeds and small breeds. Anything from chihuahuas to Great Danes. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available anytime you need me. I’m home everyday and don’t have to worry about leaving the house for the most part. I can feed and water the fur babies as well as take them on walks and to the park if you’d like, I’m good at keeping dogs company if they just need a companion. I’m also good with dogs that have anxiety.
About: I recently left teaching profession to care for my 88 year old mom. My husband, Rob, was USAF grad and former 26 year Special Ops pilot. We traveled and had many animals over the years. We've been married 43 years. Now we have small farm in the country with she, hogs, dogs, cats, chickens and more. However i stay in a home currently with my handicapped mom about 10 minutes away. I recently moved off farm and into my mom's home due to her care. I care for my daughter's two dogs until she is out of nursing school next year. A 4 year old Pembroke Corgi named Cash, and a 12 year boxer named Sassy. We are located just north of Crestview, in Heritage Plantation. There is a huge yard, and a sectioned area for separation if needed and to keep main area of back yard free of "poo". Plenty of space, and company for any dogs so they won't miss owners too much. I currently have flexible schedule with substituting and real estate. I am home consistently. I will be home most days of the week. Your dog will be loved on by my mom and I. I have 3/4 acre yard which has been sectioned off into two zones for dogs to do their business and the rest for play. I also have two kennels for sleeping or separating if needed. There is a clean and soft camp mattress available for your pet at will. Plenty of toys and my daughter's two dogs are calm yet playful.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Crestview is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crestview
Jamie was very attentive and loving to my 3 dogs! They took to her immediately during the meet and greet as well, which is highly unusual for them as they usually need time to warm up to new people. She sent plenty of photos/videos which also kept me at ease during her stay. Highly recommend and will use again!
Amiyah did everything we asked her to with regard to being home for our 2 dogs and 3 cats. She spent time with them outside and they seemed to enjoy her company. We really appreciated her being at our home overnight and the majority of the time we were away. She made it easy to get updates and let us know of any concerns or questions.

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 Crestview 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 Crestview 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Crestview 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!

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 .
