About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

About: I have always had animals in my life from the time I was a child until I got my very own to love and care for. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I also have extensive experience with cats, bunnies and hamsters too. I will love and care for any animal as if they were my own. I am currently between careers, so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals any day of the week! I also offer multi-day care for those times you may be out of town and need someone to care for your fur baby. I offer in-home care for your animals so they will feel safe in their natural environment. I can adapt to their comfort levels and ensure they have a clean, safe space in your home to reduce stress.

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born. I'm very comfortable and confident in giving them love and care! I've helped dog sit for my parents, friends & neighbors. I also had the amazing joy of raising a Boston Terrier to the blessed old age of 15. I helped train him as a puppy and in new ways once he lost his hearing and had memory loss in his senior years. I feel like it's a treat just having a fury presence in the house. My husband and I are both drawn to animals. I feel like they make the world a better place! They certainly add joy to mine! I work from home part-time, so that leaves me plenty of time to walk, play with and snuggle your pups! I'm available for boarding both weekdays and weekends. I have a nice size lot to get your dogs out whenever it is needed and also have many great parks & trails nearby for taking a nice long stroll. I am happy to have pets on furniture and sleep in a bed but also can give them the care they are used to (crate sleeping, dog bed, etc). Most important is that they feel comfortable!

About: I grew up with dogs, and miss them dearly in my life! Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets: while away traveling, or in hardships. From closely monitoring my friend's cat after surgery when she couldn't call off work, to weeklong stays in family homes with rambunctious puppies, I've done it all. I've always had a passion for animals, including exotic pet care! I have personally kept a freshwater aquarium and understand that fish and reptile care is much more detailed and intensive than many may first assume. You can rest easy knowing your pets will be in good hands, and will be given the detailed care and attention they deserve. I'm currently in recovery from a chronic pain condition. This gives me incredible flexibility to take on care at any time, and give your pets the attention they deserve! Depending on my health, my availabily may fluctuate, but now that I'm finally on the upswing I'm ready to be active and my abilites will only increase in the coming months! I am currently not offering care through my own home, but I am happy to provide check ins on many varieties of pets! I adore reptiles and exotic pets, and will happily feed, administer care, and help wear them out by playing inside, in the yard, or walking the nearby area.

Peggy went above and beyond on taking care of my new 2 month old puppy, Coco. Coco is very needy and needs extra attentionand Peggy was able to use her experience as a dog owner to help with Coco. She also was willing to go and pick up the keys from work which I appreciated a lot as I live in an apartment. I will definitely recommend her! She’s super nice!

About: Update: 1. We just bought a kiddie pool for dogs! If your pet gets over heated in the summer and enjoys water time, they can enjoy the dog pool in our backyard. (: Update 2: We are fully booked for the rest of 2026. Accepting bookings only if there are any cancelations or else- beginning Jan 2027. Thank you. 💜 We have a massive fenced in backyard for dogs and playtime for cats will be indoors. For dogs, we're happy to give them 4 walks a day and lots of playtime and fetch in the fenced-in backyard. For cats- we have a huge bay window overlooking a bird feeder so cats can soak in the sun and spend their time watching the birdies. We do not put any fur babies in crates unless you specifically ask us to (we do not own crates so you will have to provide one). This is not our full time job nor income, we're doing this because we LOVE animals so at our home, your pet will feel like its their vacation time! They'll have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to run around and be happy and comfortable! We also do not accept more than 1 booking at a time. 2 dogs from the same family are welcome but we don't accept multiple bookings from different households at the same time. We do not want our home to feel crowded and we do not want the dogs and cats to feel overwhelmed so you can always be assured that our house will feel like a mini stress free vacation for your pets! (: We will need you to provide everything your pet will need for their stay including food bowl, water bowl, toys/treats, food and most importantly- medications if needed. For Doggy day care: if we are doing doggy day care, we will only be taking one dog at a time, or 2 dogs from the same family. We want to ensure that the pet has a fun time while away from their fav human for a few hours, and simultaneously we want to have stress free work days (: Thank you! (: We work from home full time so we are available for walks, and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. We also love dogs and cats so they're welcome to join us in our bed for all naps! We have two cats of our own but they will have no interaction with your dog/cat; when we are sitting your pets our cats will be in the basement (which is their fav place in the house anyway). If you're reaching out to us about cat sitting, please also ensure that you're willing to provide litter.

Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!

About: For over 5 years, I've been the go-to pet caretaker for many in my community. From energetic puppies to wise senior dogs, I've had the joy of caring for them all. My experience spans walking, feeding, bathing, and even some basic training. Every pet is unique, and I pride myself on recognizing and attending to each one's individual needs. Whether your fur baby needs patience, energy, or a gentle touch, I'm here to provide it. Balancing a remote job gives me the flexibility and opportunity to dedicate substantial time to pet care. I’m fervent about ensuring our furry companions get ample play and attention. I am open for boarding on weekends, and my weekdays post 11am are entirely devoted to caring for pets. Rest assured, your pets will enjoy ample time of fun and care with me! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I've created a pet-friendly environment, free from hazards and with plenty of play space. All pets have access to clean, comfortable resting spots and fresh water at all times. If I'm taking care of pets in your home, I'm respectful of your space and follow all guidelines provided. My goal is to ensure that whether I'm in your home or you entrust your pet in mine, they are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Accepting daycare and drop-in visits! All dogs should be fully house trained if daycare is required. We are not able to accept potty pad trained dogs in our home. Care of dogs has been with me since birth. There has not been a single year in which I did not own at least one dog. My wife and I both work full time from home and have one dog of our own. Loving and caring for dogs is built in second nature for us. Our entire daily routine and schedule revolves around making sure they go out whenever they need and always get ample time running, playing, and of course, resting! We have ~8,000 sq. ft. of fenced in backyard. Our yard is well maintained and treated for all pests. We have ~2,500 sq. ft. inside our home that will be available at all times for dogs to run, play, rest, and even watch a movie on our projector screen downstairs. The fence is vinyl and 6 ft tall for the majority and only the gates are 4ft chain link. We can offer crates, blankets, dog beds, and fans to keep the large dogs cooler if needed. We charge $50 per daycare stay...Here's why: - Extremely flexible and no-nonsense pickup and drop off scheduling. (no extra charges for early or late pickup/arrival) - 1 daycare stay is considered up to 12 hours -At our house your dogs might as well be royalty. They can go outside all day long and sleep anywhere they like and it will never cost you more. -We DO NOT watch more than 2 dogs at a time (for our safety, your dogs safety) - No kennels (unless this is their routine) - No cement walls - No anxiety from 50 other dogs barking -We will let them have an entire bed or a couch downstairs, or set up a kennel for them if they prefer to sleep enclosed. -We are rarely away at any point and the dogs have constant attention with friends to play with -We will occasionally walk your dog without distance limits or up-charges if we decide to go out -We will sit and eat with your dogs and even hand-feed them if they are nervous -We will send you photos and videos... more than you probably want -You can bring an entire car of equipment and toys for your dogs and we don't care, we will be standing there at the door ready to help. - We believe we provide an astronomically better environment than any local daycare place ever could, while also placing our home in the crosshairs of pet damage and accidents every day - This is our home, where we live and work full-time. Dogs can cause extensive damage and unexpected repairs and maintenance, especially if dealing with separation anxiety. - We do not charge more for holidays - We do not keep 100% of what is charged (Rover receives 20%) We are both home full-time and rarely leave for anything longer than 2 hours. Our life is simply built around our dogs and their needs. When we watch other dogs we simply pretend like they are our own and adapt the same free and open-ended schedule to them! We have a large fenced in yard (8,000 sq ft) and allow pets on all furniture, and access to roam the entire house. If there is ever a time when two dogs may not bond well, we simply utilize 1 of our 4 levels to separate them for brief periods or for their entire stay.

Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Crystal on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 5,914 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Crystal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Crystal stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crystal. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
