“Jaymee was amazing with both my cat and dog. Always keeping me posted on what was going on with them. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to anybody.”
About: I love being around dogs and treat them as family, as they should be! I currently have 3 fur babies, two back labs who are brother and sister and a pitbull. They are my world and I will treat your dogs as such as well. Every dog deserves love and cuddles! I've worked with puppies through senior dogs and understand that every pup has its own personality and needs. I have experience giving medication as my girl receives daily meds for her Addisons. I love being active with dogs whether that's playing catch in the backyard, tug-o-war or going on long walks. I can't wait to meet your dog! I currently work from home so if I'm staying at your place of residence for an extended stay your family member will receive all the attention needed during the days. I have experience crating dogs if needed while I stay at your home. Because I work remotely I'll be able to play with and walk your pet throughout the day.

“Daisy took such great care of my two cats! She was super punctual and consistent checking in on them each morning and I could tell by the playful photos that they enjoyed her company! It’s so nice to have someone you can trust look after your fur family when you’re away, Daisy is that person!”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic!! I couldn’t have picked a better sitter to make my cat feel comfortable and happy! Lauren went above and beyond with photos throughout every visit and A+ communication. She followed all directions as well as administered meds flawlessly. Thank you, Lauren! - Spice”
About: I love dogs and recently had to say goodbye to my beloved Lab mix, Bear. I’m not ready to bring a new dog into the family yet, but I’m eager to get to know and care for your beloved furry family members! I grew up with a Dalmatian named Pal, a Heinz 57 called Skipper, and have loved many other dogs along the way, including Maddy, Blu, Mercedes, Birdie, and Moomin. I’m currently working part-time and eager to fill some time meeting, playing with, and caring for your beloved pets so you have peace of mind. I’ll come to you and check in with your dog(s), allow them to relieve themselves, take them for a walk, ensure their water bowl is full and give them some loving attention when you can’t be there.
“Kalia is reliable and very communicative, in a helpful manner. My house looks like it was left when I return home and things are kept tidy which I appreciate! I would recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have had my own for 5 years now. I love spending time and walking my girl and would love to do the same for yours! I am available all day on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I am occasionally available in the mornings on Tuesday-Thursday with the right amount of notice. I can provide walking around your neighborhood/playing in your back yard or inside with the dog and their toys. I am unable to provide care for other dogs in my own home.
“Abigail was fantastic! It was an initial meet and greet for her to watch our pups and house for a night, and our dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. She asked all the right questions, and made us feel certain that our pups and house were in great hands.”
About: I was born and raised in Southeastern Minnesota on a farm and have been surrounded by animals my whole life. I have helped raise horses, chickens, cats and dogs, bunnies and pigs. I originally was going to become a Veterinarian but have taken a different route yet still love getting as much time with animals as I can. I'm also a very active individual and love to ensure your animal gets adequate exercise too. :-) I lived in Seattle for 5 years for school and had the joy of dog sitting many wonderful pets. I can guarantee your animal will be well taken care of and gets lots of attention. I care for them like they are my own. Beau is an active GSP who loves all dogs and humans.
About: I used to own two Cavaliers, and have taken care of various dogs on behalf of friends/family, including dog sitting for my sister's high anxiety rescue dog, and now have taken care of numerous dogs in the year I’ve been on Rover. I find that a calm, patient demeanor can win over even the most stranger-wary dog. I am in the process of changing careers, so am taking classes, which meet mostly online. Aside from the few hours a week when I volunteer to work with special-needs children in therapeutic horseback riding, my schedule is very flexible, including nights/weekends. Mornings? Evenings? Last minute? No problem. I think of pets as family, and will treat your pet like my family. (Don't worry, that's a good thing!) As a horseback rider, I find the skills of working with our animal friends transfer easily. Regardless of species, they enjoy human attention/affection, engagement and are often much smarter than we give them credit for.
“Grace has been the best - she handles my reactive doggo wonderfully and the photos I get make my day every time; I truly look forward to getting the daily updates at work. 1 month of dog watching and I’m super grateful for her punctuality and flexibility.”
“Caroline did two drop in visits with our cat Gucci. On our initial meet and greet with her our dog, who generally doesn't like strangers, took to her immediately. That's always a sign to me that someone is really good with animals. Both drop in visits went well. Communication was excellent. She did some extra work (cat got unexpectedly sick) and she handled it really well and was transparent to us. Caroline will be our go-to going forward and I would recommend her to others.”
About: Hi! I’m an animal communication researcher with a B.A. in psychology and biology, and I’ve been passionately caring for dogs, specifically rescue dogs, since I was 13 years old. I currently live with a senior rescue dog, so canine companionship is a central part of my daily life! My scientific background gives me a unique perspective on dog walking and care: I understand canine body language, stress triggers, and behavioral signals, allowing me to create a safe, engaging, and stress-free environment for every dog. As I currently work full-time, I would be available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Monday through Friday's from 6 am-8 am and 6 pm-8 pm. I am also available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is keeping their regular routine intact so they feel safe, calm, and happy while you’re away. Safety & Routine First: I closely follow your instructions for feeding, routines, pet medications, and house rules. I will make sure doors and gates are secure, entryways are clear, and your home is kept neat and respected. Dog drop-in visits and walks: - Tailored Dog Walks: Walks are adapted to your dog's age and energy levels. From structured and mentally stimulating walks for energetic dogs, to slow and gentle strolls for senior dogs, I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities, activity levels, and ages. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in animal communication research, I monitor body language for signs of heat exhaustion, anxiety, or leash reactivity, ensuring every walk is low-stress and positive. - Post-Visit Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos, including notes on bathroom breaks, water bowl top-offs, energy levels, and any fun highlights from our time together! Cat drop-in visits: - Feeding & Fresh Water: I strictly follow your feeding routines, medications, wash bowls, and ensure fresh water is always available. - Litter Box Maintenance: Regular, meticulous scooping and area cleanup to keep your cat's environment clean and comfortable. - Play & Mental Enrichment: Interactive play sessions using feather wands, puzzle toys, or laser pointers for energetic cats, or quiet, gentle company and brushing for seniors or introverts. - Behavior-Conscious Care: Using my background in science and animal communication research, I recognize subtle stress signals, environmental triggers, and comfort cues, ensuring your cat feels completely safe and relaxed while you're away. - Detailed Updates: After every visit, you’ll receive a thorough report message complete with photos, notes on eating/litter box habits, and highlights of our hangout time.
“I just love April and how she takes care of my cat! I’m so glad I found her. She has cats also so she always tries different fun things with my cat. I like that. And if I didn’t want April all to myself I would tell everyone to hire her for their pets…! She is great!”

Alex has been an amazing sitter for me and my pup multiple times now. This past time in particular he went above and beyond in trying to get a hold of me when the door lock would not open. I greatly appreciate his commitment to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I will be booking him again with zero hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Crystal is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $29 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 5,672 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Crystal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Crystal with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crystal. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
