“We loved having our puppy, Lola taken care of by Tierney. It was a great piece of mind that Lola was in her own space and getting loves and so much interaction. We will def recommend Tierney to all our friends and family.”
“Ciboney did wonderful with Yoda. She sent sweet photos and kept us updated daily on what was going on. She left the house spotless. We would recommend her to anyone needing someone to housesit their precious fur babies!”
“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!”
“Connie loves my dog Lady! I feel so comfortable having her take care of her and my house when I am out of town. She was great with pics, updates and check-ins. I will definitely book with Connie again.”
“Kendra came to us on only a few day notice! She was amazing with our pups, sent us pictures and updates often and left our place cleaner than we left it along with treats for the ladies. Wish we would have found her sooner!”
“Alex is amazing. She is very communicative and made us feel incredibly at ease while we were gone. She took great care of our dog as well as our home. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Jade is a wonderful rover sitter. She took great care of our senior Pomeranian and our home while we were out of the country on vacation. She even drove us to the airport and back. We will definitely work with her in the future as long as she continues to work with Rover.”
“Erin stayed with our golden retriever, Harvey, for two weekends in the past month. We’ve never used rover before and we were a little nervous, but Erin was so great with him and sent us lots of updates. She also was very thoughtful of our space! (I.e washing the sheets and towels, making the bed, running the dishwasher, leaving the space clean). Would definitely recommend!”
“Nina was amazing! She took such good care of our dog and our home while we were away. She sent regular pictures and communication during our trip. We will definitely book with her the next time we travel and I know our pup will be thrilled to have her come back again.”
“Carolina was so caring to my Annie! She took numerous photos, gave great updates and left me Polaroids of Annie. She was also fine with me being late and was very communicative! I will certainly use her again!”
“Tayler is wonderful! My two pooches loved her. She did such a great job with both of their peculiarities. She took good care of Bowie with his allergies and his tendency to chew his feet. She left my house looking great! Also, her regular updates with photos made me feel so reassured that they were all doing well. I hope to keep her as my “go to” sitter!”
“Olivia took wonderful care of our dog, an energetic two-year old pup. She did a wonderful job of staying in touch with me with questions. I would definitely ask her to care for our dog in the future!”
“Tess was wonderful with our dog, Timber. She provided us with updates (which we loved!) and was very responsive. Tess was home & dog sitting, and we trust her completely to do it again! She met with us before hand to get a lay of the land and was here about 1 week.”
“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“The nicest sitter yet! Not just very friendly but VERY caring and wanting to make sure no detail gets missed (meds, health, etc). The day I came home (Elizabeth was house sitting) my cat even followed her to the door. That’s such a good sign ❤️ Thank you again!”
“Peggy was amazing with our dogs. She stayed at our place and sent regular updates. She was a wonderful house guest and an even better sitter. We'd love to book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crystal
Wow - Melanie was fantastic! She has a very calm vibe overall and after meeting her we knew our cats would be in good hands. She took great care of our cats and our home while we were away and sent daily update texts and pics that helped a lot for my husband's homesickness and missing them while we were away. We will definitely want to book with Melanie again in the future.
Peggy was hands-down the best house sitter we’ve had. She stayed at our house for a week with our two dogs and sent daily updates that kept us at ease while we were away. When unexpected tree work popped up at the house mid-stay, she rolled with it seamlessly and even kept us posted on how the dogs were doing with the noise. She also watered our newly-planted plants. Our Bernese Mountain Dog is noise-anxious and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but you could tell in every photo Peggy sent that she felt safe and at ease. We can't recommend Peggy enough. If you want a sitter who's attentive, communicative, and genuinely great with anxious pups, she's the one to book.
This was Alexandra’s second time watching our pup while we’ve been away for an extended period and we love having her! Our beloved pup always seems so happy, we love to get videos and pictures from her, and she leaves our house looking even better than how we left it.
Hannah did an awesome job with Zoey, we could tell she was well cared for. Zoey is shy and a little stand-offish but she warmed up to Hannah right away. Hannah also did a great job taking care of the house, she left everything nice and neat. We would absolutely hire her again.
Isabella was such a rockstar and couldn’t recommend her enough. She took such great care of Pollie, even with the mischief Pollie got into and an upset tummy at the end of the stay. She kept me updated with photos, asked very appropriate questions for care, and used her own fantastic dog parent knowledge to help me make a plan for when Pollie was sick. It made my trip much better knowing my dog was in such good, attentive hands.
Carol was amazing! Excellent communication, reliable, sent regular updates with pictures, and took excellent care of our puppy for the day! This was the first time I needed an all day sitter, I could not be happier Carol was ours! She gave me complete confidence and peace of mind that our girl was safe, healthy, and having a great day with her there. I will absolutely hope to get to work with Carol again in the future for any day / overnight sitting, and if you are looking for someone to take the best of care of your pet while you’re gone, I absolutely recommend confirming with Carol! Thank you so much!!
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crystal on Rover is $35.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,459 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crystal. On Rover:
- 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.
