“Lori was wonderful as usual. She kept me updated, respected my home, and cared for my three pets wonderfully. I can tell my aloof older cat is getting more comfortable with Lori, my middle cat enjoys the Lori cuddles, and my dog gets spoiled with walks, cuddles and trips to the dog park.”

About: As far back as I can remember, my family always had at least one dog/cat, each one of them holding a special place in my heart. I, now, am a proud dog parent of two Blue Heelers, Izzy and Brutus. I love every kind of dog and cat. I have experience with elder dog care and puppy care. I have a job where I work Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. All 12 hour days. So, I would be completely booked up on those days. The other days I would be incredibly happy to spend time with your little loved one! I would make sure to have clear and open conversations with you about your animals throughout the day/night. I can give updates on when they go to the bathroom. I can, also, send pictures of them.

“Zach was an amazing sitter for my pups. They are precious and I expect them to be taken care of with full attention of them. Zach went above and beyond. He was timely in responding if I had a question. He took excellent care of them and checked in often with updates and pics to show me they were happy and content. I will be using Zach whenever I need to go out of town. I would recommend and trust him to all pet owners. Thank you Zach.”

“We are newbies to Rover and were a little nervous at first. Alex totally put our minds at peace immediately with her professionalism and sweet personality. Prior to our trip Alex came and met our little gang to learn all the ins and outs of the dogs routines. While we were gone we received fun pictures and updates of how things were going which meant a lot to us. Our dogs were loved up and cared for by the Best! Alex is are go-to from now on, we absolutely adore her!”

About: I've always been the person my friends and family call when they need someone to watch their pets! I live with two spoiled cats and also grew up with a family dog, so I love both cats and dogs equally. I'm a full-time college student and work part-time at the hospital, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they're happiest and most comfortable. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for walks, or just have someone to hang out with, I'm happy to keep them company and give them all the love and attention they deserve! I'm a full-time student and work part-time at a hospital, but I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my work hours when needed. I'm available for drop-in visits and house sitting, and I do my best to work around your pet's routine to provide consistent, reliable care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm happy to care for pets in my home or yours, though I prefer caring for them in their own home where they're most comfortable. My home is safe and has a partially fenced backyard. I also share my home with my roommate and two friendly cats, who are used to being around people. I'll always follow your pet's routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages.

About: I've provided pet services and pet/house sitting for a small group of people I've known and been referred to. I've been wanting to expand my clientele, as I have a lot to offer. Although I consider it to be a small side gig, I like to refer to my business affectionately as "No Place Like Home". I have 20 plus years experience, including managing a dog day care for two years. It also includes working with special needs, administering medication orally and through injections. I have references as well as my own personal experience with my cat. I am energetic and can keep up with even the most active dogs. They are my passion. Not only that, pet sitting in your house creates a calmer and safer environment for your pets, as well as keeping your home safe and occupied. I am semi retired. I have a lot of time to spend with your pets in your home ensuring several potty breaks, play and exercise. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I follow instructions left by the owner and will ensure play and exercise

FAQs for House Sitting - Crooks

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 166 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crooks. 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 Crooks 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 Crooks 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 Crooks 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
