About: I have been around dogs my whole life! I absolutely love walking, playing and giving dogs all the love and care they deserve. From taking care of my own dog to helping friends and family out with theirs, I am here to help when you need it! During off season I have lots of free time to walk/drop-in/watch your pups! Walks and drop-ins are more limited on Sundays+Wednesdays with the rest of the week being more open. Feel free to reach out to discuss further! I treat every pet like my own and work with owners to make sure they are getting the care they need. Just let me know how to make your pup the happiest they can be while you’re away!
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
“Kelcey is a very easy going person who happens to be smart, responsible, active and a great dog sitter! She stayed at my house for three days, and took great care of my 6-year-old dog. She fulfilled all of my requests to take my dog out for walks, feed her twice a day, and also took care of the house and hot tub. I highly recommend Kelsey as a house and pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah 🐾 I’ve had pets my whole life and have been caring for other people’s pets since I was 10, so taking care of animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I treat every pet like they’re my own and love getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and quirks. Whether your pet wants to go on a long walk, play nonstop, or just curl up for some cuddles, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, caring, and always want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry friends! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a barista, my schedule varies but I typically work 4 days a week from 5 AM–12 PM, which means I have plenty of availability in the afternoons and evenings to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and routine to make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I want them to feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other care they’re used to. I’ll give them plenty of attention, love, and cuddles while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or shy. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!
“I was very nervous to hire a pet sitter for my 2 dogs and elderly cat that requires medication twice a day. Jessica did an amazing job keeping me updated multiple times followed all our normal schedule for meal times and walks. She was incredibly organized and my usually shy cat came out of her shell and showed her true sassy self. She even kept up with the barn cats doing a head count daily and even gaining their trust to pet them. I came home to a clean house and very settled animals. They were happy to have us home, but not in that frantic traumatized way they have been with pet sitters in the past. I would highly recommend Jessica and will definitely us her in the future.”
About: Grew up with goldens, it’s a relationship unlike any other. I’m grateful to care for your furry loved ones. I work remotely, and happy to be as present as you prefer. Let me know how can I be of service :) I write + meditate early in the morning. Work independently so I’m happy to be flexible with specific requests you may have. Early to bed - early to rise. I am not able to offer house sitting at my home at this time. But I feel this is best to maintain a harmonious experience for your pets. I’ve migrated a lot and am quite skilled at leaving a space better than I found it
About: I love pets and I am happy to care for them while thier owners are away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your best friends behind when you have to leave town. I provide excellent care and comfort for your pets. I cared for my family dog, Maggie, for 10 years. She was a high energy blue heeler with Cushing's disease and big anxious heart. I also adore cats. I adopted a one-eyed senior cat with a bad hip, Sebastian, in 2020, and he lived out the rest of his days being loved and cared for by me. Now I have two younger cats, Ruthie and Atlas. I work from home. This is why house sitting works best for me. I can care for you pets constantly throughout the day as they need. I am very careful to keep pets safe around cars and other dogs. I understand how scary it can be to let someone else care for your pet and I will be dedicated to keeping them happy and safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crystal. 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 Crystal 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 Crystal 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 Crystal 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
