“We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”
“Gianna was wonderful! Our pup and kitties were well loved and excellently taken care of while we were away. Our pup even needed an urgent vet visit and Gianna took care of everything! Such a relief to know that she was there.”
“Katie was amazing with our Ryder. It was the first time he had a sitter by himself since his brother passed. She took him on walks and sent plenty of videos and pictures. We would definitely use her again. Thank you for your patience and kindness with Ryder:”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing! She stepped in for us at the last minute to stay at our house and take care of Eva for the weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and took such great care of Eva. It gave us a ton of peace of mind knowing she was comfortable at home and in good hands while we were away. Brittany also took great care of our house, which we really appreciated. We’re so thankful she was able to help us out on short notice and will absolutely be reaching out to her again. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your pup and your home, we highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Heather watched my 2 dogs in our home for several days while I was out of town. She was absolutely amazing with them!! They’re both very different personalities and she cared for them both well, and kept me updated along the way. She responds quickly and reached out with any questions which made me feel reassured they were taken care of. Would absolutely book with her again and recommend her for anyone!”
“Laura did a great job caring for our dogs and home while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures with the dogs snuggled on her lap and playing fetch - their two favorite things. Sometimes when we get home from a trip the dogs seem a bit out of sorts, but not this time at all. We will reach out to Laura next time we go out of town!”
“Cameron was very attentive to our 10 year old golden retriever! He was also very accommodating with us since we had to change plans last minute. Definitely will book him again in the future!!”
“Zoe was incredible. Our house was clean when we came back home, and she handled all the animal care flawlessly. She checked in multiple times a day and went above and beyond making all our critters comfortable, even amidst a minor medical issue with our dog. We’ll be booking Zoe for all our trips in the future.”
About: I specialize in caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I administer medications, provide puppy training, and ensure happy moments—whether cuddling or hiking in the park! I work part-time, allowing me to integrate pet care seamlessly into my routine. I happily check in during my lunch break, just as I’d want for my pets! In your home or mine, I prioritize comfort and safety. I gather all necessary information beforehand and ensure pets feel secure, adapting to their needs in any setting.
“I had an amazing experience with Kia! Without a doubt, I highly recommend her services. Kia is not only reliable and caring but also demonstrated exceptional expertise when my pups had some tummy troubles. She made sure to keep me updated by calling and texting me pictures every day. I am definitely looking forward to having Kia take care of my pups again in the future.”
“Chris did a wonderful job watching over our dog and two kitties while we were away. He sent great updates, pictures, and kept us informed of everything that was going on. Would definitely recommend him!”
About: I started caring for my host family's dogs when I moved to the U.S. in 2017, and I've been a dog lover ever since! I've cared for dogs of different ages and sizes, from young puppies to senior dogs and even giant Great Danes. I'm especially great with energetic, well-trained dogs who enjoy long walks and outdoor adventures as much as I do. If your pup loves staying active, we'll get along just fine! I’m a freelancer working in social media, so I have a flexible schedule and work mostly remotely. This allows me to plan my day around pet care, accommodate walks and drop-in visits, and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside, so having a furry walking buddy is always a plus! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner's instructions closely, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise, playtime, food, and attention. I'm respectful of clients' homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they're away. Your pet's safety and happiness always come first!
“Basma was very good with both my dogs and kitten, I was sent a lot of photo updates. She was very nice about one of my dogs having an upset stomach which gave her more work. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: If you are like me, your furr baby is your kid! I have a Yorkie and a Mastiff that are my pride and joy. I have been caring for animals pretty much since I could walk. There is nothing more pure than the love of our furry friends. I have successfully potty trained dozens of my friends dogs and even a cat if you can believe it! I'm great with super nervous animals also. My Yorkie was a rescue that came to me with extreme anxiety. She is now one of the most playful little creatures you could ever meet. If you are looking for a caring attention to detail sitter, I am your furry friends best friend you didn't know you needed. I look forward to meeting you both! Dogs and cats are always welcome. I am available on weekends and evenings to board and care for your furr baby. However with advanced notice I will try my best to accommodate your furr baby needs. I have a fenced in backyard with two playful dogs that can keep your furr baby company. I also have extra space, crates and lots of toys for overnight stays.
“Kyla took such great care of our dog while we were away! Our dog wasn't feeling very good so Kyla stayed home with her the entire time, administered her medication, and communicated with me often. It really gave me peace of mind while on my trip.”
“We love Gigi!! She’s watched our pets/house a couple times for us while we were on vacation, and always does a great job! We get lots of updates throughout the week with photos which always makes us feel better about leaving our babies. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and we also have a very antisocial cat, and they both love Gigi which says a lot!! She leaves our home in great, clean condition and overall it’s always just a very smooth, pleasant experience working with her! We will continue to book with Gigi every time we need a sitter :)”
“I highly recommend India for house sitting/dog walking. I was out of the country for 8 days and India watched my house and GSD during that time. She's conscientious, a great communicator, and she clearly loves dogs (and probably all animals). She was wonderful and did everything I asked of her, including taking my pup on very long walks. I would love to schedule India the next time I travel.”
About: I grew up taking care of several cats, and as a mom I helped my 4 daughters raise and train for obedience 3 dogs. Recently, I worked for 3 years at a (small animal & equestrian) veterinarian clinic in the front office. I take care of walking,feeding, and loving on my neighbors’ pets on a regular basis. My own Labrador, Nico, passed in December 2025. Boarding other pets give me the opportunity to still feel the joy of having a pet around. My day job is somewhat flexible on start and end times, most afternoons I work from home and I can fit in breaks when neeeded I will adapt to your pet’s personality and level of desire for interaction. When taking your pet out, I am mindful of whether or not to let them interact with other pets and people.
“Heather was a wonderful dog sitter! She was gracious and attentive in our meet and greet, asking good questions. She stayed in touch with us and reassured us that our senior dog was doing well. The house was spotless and sheets changed when we got home. She left a good-bye card for us and a note with last minute messages in it. We appreciated all her efforts on behalf of our dog and us.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Crows Nest is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crows Nest
Lauren was absolutely fantastic! She watched our 4-year-old Rottweiler, Brutus, and our 8-year-old Black Lab mix, Knox, for eight days while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Lauren was great with communication and took the time to do a meet-and-greet before our trip. She was immediately comfortable with our large dogs, which gave us a lot of confidence. She also asked really thoughtful and proactive questions about their care, including which vet we use and other important details. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure she understood our dogs and their needs. While we were away, Lauren sent regular updates and pictures. She found the perfect balance, enough updates that we knew the dogs were happy and doing well, without so many that we felt overwhelmed. It gave us so much peace of mind being able to see that Brutus and Knox were comfortable and well cared for. She was also extremely respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. Overall, Lauren was responsible, caring, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone, especially anyone with larger dogs!
Taylor did a great job handling Zeus. He seemed to be very comfortable and happy in her presence while I was gone. Taylor kept me informed with pictures and updates. I had to book on short notice and she was very accommodating to all my requests. Would definitely book again.
Yulia has such a kind spirit that clearly put my senior dog at ease. She was patient and flexible - even working a solution when my flight was delayed coming home. It's tough to find people who are willing to work through the extra steps and challenges of a senior dog - frequent trips outside, help up the stairs, medicines, inconsistent appetite - and Yulia handled it all with such kindness and care. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Crows Nest is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Crows Nest 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 Crows Nest 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 Crows Nest 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 with handling special pet needs in Crows Nest. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
