“Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!”
“Margaret changed her own plans last minute when we had a family emergency! We are so grateful to her. She takes great care of your home and sends updates and picture of your fur baby. I highly recommended her!”
“Kendra was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates and was able to walk them at the same time (they’re 50 lbs and 90lbs). The house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy. Could not recommend her more!”
“We are so thankful to have found Connie! This was our first experience hiring a house/cat sitter who would stay in our home during an extended trip so we were completely new to the process. From our first meeting with Connie, we knew she would be a great fit. She took such good care of our kitties and sent updates letting us know how they were doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was there spending time with them while we were away. When returned, they were so much happier than they have been after returning from past trips. Such a good experience!”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Very happy with Jade’s care and stay at our home. She brought a caring calm that was great for our dog. She was respectful of our home and followed our tips for the dog care. We’ll be booking with her again!”
“I’m sure I’ve said this before but I can’t help it. It is so nice to go away and know that your family i.e animals and hom are being taken care of by someone who is so responsible. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Isabella was great with our 3 month old puppy! She sent us pictures and was very communicative and gave us updates while we’re were away. Thank you for taking care of our little guy and we hope to work with you again soon!”
“Ciboney was great with our medically complex dog and our super shy cat! She stayed in our house and left it clean and orderly, went above and beyond connecting with my cat and making him less scared, and had no problem pilling my dog twice a day. Definitely worth her rate, and I wouldn't think twice rebooking with her.”
“Boone had a great time during his week with Alex, she was very responsive and provided lots of updates and photos along the way. We’re happy we could have someone stay with our little guy!”
“August was great with my Asher boy and I definitely would use them again in the future! It was my first time using Rover so I was definitely a little skeptical and anxious, but they made sure to ease my anxiety by sending me frequent pictures and updates. I do feel like he was really well cared for and she also left my home in great condition and was respectful of my desires. Would recommend :)”
“Autumn was amazing with out 2 English setters- she handled medications wonderfully and gave them so much attention and walks! Our neighbor even commented on how great she was. Look forward to using her again!”
“Carolina was a life saver when I had daycare plans fall through for my puppy land on a holiday no less. She stepped in last minute and took fantastic care of my little guy! Would highly recommend her.”
“Erin has watched my dogs several times over the years and, as always, did a great job communicating, sending photos, and most importantly taking care of my dogs for two weeks. Also left the house in great shape.”
“Kimbrey & Sean were both very responsive and sent lots of appreciated pictures and videos of my pets! They both listened to all the details I shared on my pups special needs and answered all my questions while I was away.”
“Tierney was wonderful! Did in home pet sitting for my puppy and 2 cats. Sent lots of updates, photos, and was more than happy to accommodate last minute extra things. Our house was left so clean you couldn’t even tell she was there. Would happily have her back!”
“Biiftuu was an excellent dog sitter. She clearly took good care of my little Aussie poo. She sent good pictures and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crystal
Kimbrey and Sean took such great care of Pollie while I was gone. This was my first time leaving my dog, and they made me feel comfortable/confident she was doing great with lots of photos and videos. Pollie was also experiencing a hot spot requiring oral medication, topical wipes, and use of a cone. They sent me pics of the wound every day as I requested and it was great knowing they could help continue caring for this issue while I was away. Will 100% be asking Kimbrey and Sean to watch Pollie again!!
Isabella went above and beyond. Super kind and loving to our dog. Our dog Mochi loved her and was so well cared for. Isabella was really good at communicating and giving us updates. She was staying at our home and had to deal with a plumbing emergency while we were away and was super helpful. This was our first time using Rover and we we found Isabella was amazing. I can't recommend her enough, she'll take care of your dog like if it was her own.
Carol was amazing!! She stayed at our home for 3 nights and took great care of our 2 dogs. She provided us with multiple updates and we came home to tired and well cared for pups. She was super easy to work with and would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!!
Alexandra was extremely accommodating and kind to stay with our precious girl Luna while we were away for two weeks. Luna was clearly well cared for and she left the house tidy and clean. So relieving having someone reliable and caring. We would love to have her back!!
Andy was amazing with Snipper! She took such great care of her and made sure she was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Andy spent a lot of time playing with Snipper and giving her plenty of attention, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease knowing Snipper was in such good hands. I highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much, Andy!
Jamie was great with our dogs! She was extremely attentive and gave them lots of walks. We got lots of updates and pictures from her, which is always appreciated. She also left the house spotless, which was such a nice thing to return home to! I would definitely recommend Jamie again for anyone looking for someone to watch their dogs!
Natalie stayed at our house for a week to care for our 6 month old kitten and our drama queen of a 2 year old dog. She was so patient and made accomodations for our anxious dog and "toddler" cat. Our house was well cared for and we had such great peace of mind being out of state for a week knowing she was there. We received a perfect amount of updates and pictures. Natalie was a total professional and we would highly recommend her.
Kennedy stayed with our 8 yo lab at our home this past week and we would definitely like to have her back for upcoming trips! She was comfortable administering meds, took him on walks and communicated with us how he was doing. Great experience! Thanks, Kennedy!

FAQs for House Sitting - Crystal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crystal on Rover is $33.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,498 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.
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 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
