“Jordan was super communicative with us. We have a lot of animals and they all did super well while we were away. I have a lot of anxiety about my pets, but was able to enjoy my trip knowing Jordan was caring for them!”
“Alex did such a great job looking after our two dogs and home while we were away. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and she was very patient and understanding of both of their needs. She was respectful of our home and sent a lot of detailed updates, photos and videos. Would book again!”
“Peggy watched our dog for us for a week while we were on vacation. Our pup has anxiety, and Peggy did a great job helping Ember feel safe and be calm while we were gone. She also gave our dog her medications as we had asked. Along with taking great care of our dog and sending us daily updates and pictures, she was very respectful of our home and she even watered my flowers and shrubs for me! 10/10, would definitely hire Peggy again.”
“Emerson was very communicative and shared regular photos of the pets, which I enjoy. He was also very helpful with some unexpected mail deliveries and minor house issues as well.”
“Kendra is incredible! She does such a great job of watching our dog Tazer and we love getting the photos that she sends throughout the days we’re away! We sleep well knowing that Kendra is taking care of Tazer. Kendra is reliable, professional and very trustworthy! We are so grateful for her! ❤️🐾”
“Jamie was very communicative and took great care of our dog Harley! We came home to a clean house and happy dog all while relaxing on our trip knowing Jamie was someone we could relay on. Thanks Jamie!”
“Jade was wonderful to work with! She was easy to coordinate with and asked thoughtful, thorough questions ahead of time. Our home was left tidy, and she made sure the door was locked when she left. Most importantly, our three dogs seemed happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned home, which speaks to the attention they received while we were away overnight. Thank you, Jade!”
“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!”
“I highly recommend Olivia as a sitter. She was great with my dog Ash. She communicates often and is quick to reply to messages and is very professional. She sent photos and multiple daily updates. Thanks for taking care of my dog!”
“I highly recommend Sammie! She took such good care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. She sent photos every day and we knew they were in great hands. She is a true professional and we’ll definitely use her again.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Brianna. She gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town! She took excellent care of Pippa, and was great at communicating with us. She is fantastic, and Pippa loved her!”
“Connie is an incredible house/Cat Sitter. She took care of our kitty like she was her own and did the same with our home.. Every day we got pictures and videos and could tell that Connie was really interacting successfully with our somewhat shy, sweet pet. We could not recommend her more highly! She is a gem!!”
“Elizabeth was great! My dog can be a bit of a diva but everything went well and River felt calm around her. I received updates and messages throughout and my house was left very clean!”
“Summer stayed at my house with my 2 dogs, cat and fish for 3 nights. She took such good care of them and my house. She sent nice updates and photos and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. She was professional and loving to my pets. I will not hesitate to use her again!”
“Lauren took such great care of Jazzi and Remi! She sent updates and photos and I could tell they were all having the best time! I will definitely be booking her services again. Thanks Lauren!! 🐾💕”
“Sean and Kimbrey watched my pup over a long weekend and were fabulous sitters. The communication was smooth, the pictures captured his personality perfectly, the hand-offs were easy, and the house was just as I left it. Banksy was clearly well cared for by the pair - he was very relaxed, calm, and happy when I returned. Looking forward to working with them again very soon.”
“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.”

Annie is exceptional. Not only is she a professional and great communicator but she is extremely warm, caring and friendly. She knows exactly what pets need and want. Our dog, Sasha loved Annie from the moment she met her. And we felt instantly comfortable with her as well. We are extremely selective about who can provide care for Sasha and we will select Annie again and again! And her photos are some of the best we've ever seen of our own dog. I highly recommend her for your pets.
Renae was fantastic! She took wonderful care of River while I was away in Europe, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I could relax and enjoy my trip without worrying. Highly recommend her for house sitting and pet care!
Peggy was awesome! She came super prepared and even brought a notebook to our meet-and-greet to write down all of our dogs’ routines. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were gone, which we really appreciated. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dogs with her and will definitely book with her again!
Isabella stayed in our home for several nights recently to care for our cat. This was our first time having in-home cat care. Isabella was conscientious, professional, and kind. We appreciated her daily updates and photos of our cats. She let us know when there were any issues with our cat, asked appropriate questions, and kept our house in excellent condition. I would not hesitate to recommend Isabella for cat care, whether in-home or visits, and I'll definitely hope to book her again for our next trip.
Ciboney was everything we needed for our Nova. The moment I met her, I knew she’d be a great fit. She had great communication, sent lots of pictures and made sure my pup felt loved while I was away. She is a rare jewel and I’ll definitely be using her again. Book her because she is ROVERS best ❤️
Natalie was fantastic. She house-sat and dog-sat for us for over a week and went above and beyond. The house was spotless when we got home, kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms were all clean, and she even left our mail in a neat, tidy pile. It was clear she genuinely cared for our home like it was her own. She took wonderful care of Ginger too, lots of walks, and she sent us so many fun photos along the way so we got to see Ginger out enjoying herself the whole time we were gone. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Ginger was in such good hands. We would welcome Natalie back in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter. Five stars all around!
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.
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!!

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 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.
