“Mary is amazing . She treated our two treasured dogs like they were her own . She takes her responsibilities seriously and it shows . I could tell Dolly and Gypsy were extremely well cared for while we were away for a whole week …no worries with Mary on board . Huge side note - our dogs are BIG shedders - a daily vacuum for sure …and when we got home the house looked exactly like we left it . Mary went above and beyond her job as a dog sitter keeping the house dog hair free . She is a gem and we will definitely use her again and again . Thank you Mary .”
“Doug was absolutely fantastic. He is an excellent communicator and kept us abreast of how our girls were doing. 10/10 would absolutely have him stay with our girls in our home again.”
“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”
“Stephanie was amazing with my girls. She took care of them. Sent a ton of pictures and went above and beyond with their care. I highly recommend using Stephanie for your fur babies.”
About: I will love your pet and care for it as much as my own. I have worked professionally with large and small breed animals. Animals warm up to me quickly, and we become good friends. I will care for your pet with pride and give it the attention it needs. Safety is always a priority. I have pet-sat and dog-walked for years. I volunteer with Pinellas County Animal Shelters, and I am certified through IAP Career College for pet sitting and am experienced in administering medication. I am flexible depending on your location. I live in North Pinellas County and prefer to stay there. My business offers a range of pet services. I have a large-breed dog and have cared for cats and dogs. I take lots of pictures of my clients' pets and require written safety protocols before each job.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years, and it’s something I’ve genuinely loved doing from the start. I grew up helping my family with pet sitting we’ve all been on Rover so I’ve had plenty of hand on experience. I’m really comfortable with all kinds of pets, from playful puppies who need extra time and energy to senior pets who need a little more patience and care. I’m all about making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy while their people are away. I also used to run a small reptile rescue, so while dogs and cats are my main focus, I’ve picked up a lot of useful skills when it comes to handling animals with different needs and personalities Pet care fits really well into my daily routine! I’m a full time college student, but my classes are scheduled in a way that keeps my mornings and afternoons free. I’m available every day of the week before 5 PM, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, drop ins, feedings, and just spending quality time with your pet. I’m super flexible and can usually adjust my schedule to fit what your pet needs When I’m caring for your pet in their own home, I always follow your instructions whether it’s feeding, walks, meds, or special routines. I know how much it means for them to stay comfortable and happy in their own space. I treat every home and pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.
“Jazmine to the Rescue! We experienced every pet parent’s nightmare when our original sitter canceled less than a week before our trip. We found Jazmine and she quickly arranged a meet and greet for the same day. Our pets immediately warmed up to her, which gave us peace of mind. While we were away, Jazmine sent daily updates and photos. When we returned, everything was clean and in good order, and she had even left the home tidier than we left it. We would book with Jazmine again. She was punctual, communicated well, and took good care of our pets.”
“Shawn took great care of my pets and house. The house was in excellent condition when we returned. Our animals were happy to see us but I could tell they were well taken care of while we were gone. Shawn would send us pictures of them while we were gone so we knew they were ok. I would definitely rebook him.”
About: I have lived in a pet loving home nearly my entire life, from cats and dogs to fish and snakes. This passion has led me to volunteer at Pet Pal Animal Shelter, a no-kill shelter, and work at Dogism Dog Daycare & Training as my first job! These combined have blessed me with a wealth of experience taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I work full-time, until 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Weekends are almost always available for me. Keeping my schedule separated between my full time work and pet caring ensures that your pet will have my full attention! Being entrusted to care for a pet at a client's home is never something I take lightly. I have experience giving medication, managing high-energy dogs, and cleaning up after pet messes, all with respect for the spaces they and their owners occupy.
“Beverly was a wonderful caregiver to our elderly pup. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and she treated him with love and kindness as if he were her own. We would highly recommend her to everyone who has pets to be cared for.”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: I have been a dog owner since 2018, and I have a beagle who I love so much. I am currently in Florida for school and would love to do some work while in school. I also have a cat who is very good and is okay with dogs. She will tolerate them as long as they keep their distance. She can be separated if really necessary. I can go above and beyond to care for any animal. I spoil my dog and cat like they're my own kids. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am home all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, plus the weekends. If I were to dog/cat sit on Tuesdays and Thursdays, they wouldn't be alone; my mom would be home to take care of them as well. I have a yard but can go on walks if needed. I can offer anything that you need and will make sure they get the care they need.
“So thankful we found J! She took amazing care of our dog. Mail was brought in, house was clean, and even washed the sheets and made the guest bed! Daily updates and photos were a bonus. Our dog looked so happy on his adventures! Will definitely use again.”
“Callie took care of my Lily and did an amazing job! She took her on walks on the beach, gave her a bath, and entertained her all weekend! She also provided pictures of my dog to keep me updated.”
About: I have been around and taking care of dogs since I could walk. I love all kinds and sizes of dogs. I will always put your dogs interests ahead of me when I take care of them. Making sure they are let outside, feed, fresh water, loved. Also if you’re interested in a dog lover look no further. If your dog gets dirty or has a mess I’ll clean up. If you need plants watered I’ll take care of it. If you need light cleaning around the house I’ll take care of it(like vacuum only if provided) bring in the mail. If needed to take you dog to their favorite place if able to or if your dog wants to just snuggle on the couch is awesome as well. I like being able to help whenever I can. I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I love dogs. If I get into a good routine with your dog all the better. I provide in your home service from walking or if you have a fenced in yard I’ll play with your dog outside. I provide safety by knowing my surroundings and knowing what your dog is capable of.
“This was our first experience in using a Pet Sitter, and David was brilliant! From the initial meet ans greet, he established a great connection with the furbabies. David asked questions and took great care of the pups whilst we were away. David sent daily updates and pictures, which were gratefully received and offered us peace of mind. Thank you David, and we would certainly recommend ? Great job David!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crystal Beach
Tatiana was so great with our 3 animals! She kept me updated and sent pictures while we were out of town. She texted me the night before to double check timing and to see how she should leave the sheets and towels which I appreciated! She left our house very tidy and our animals happy.
Megan was amazing! Oscar took to her right away. She sent videos made us feel content with his behavior and pictures of him being his typical golden doodle silliness. It brought us great comfort, including the general text. She would send that were informative and inquisitive questions that also gave us a great comfort. I would give Megan an A+ and recommend her to anyone.❤️
Andrea was caring, communicative, professional, dependable, and a pleasure to work with! She responded quickly when I first reached out and generously made time for a meet-and-greet the very next day. This was my first time booking a house sitter and my longest time away from my recently adopted senior kitty, so I was understandably a little nervous. But Daisy immediately greeted Andrea at the door and seemed comfortable with her, which put me at ease. Andrea was attentive to all the little quirks I shared about Daisy, asked thoughtful questions, and was transparent about her daily schedule. She had the flexibility to spend most of the day at my home with Daisy, which was a huge benefit. Throughout my trip, she provided daily photo and video updates and was always quick to respond when we communicated. I also appreciated coming home to a tidy space—Andrea vacuumed, kept the kitchen clean, and took out the trash and recycling. I felt genuinely relieved knowing my cat had loving care and steady companionship while I was away. One of the best signs of how well the stay went was that Daisy was completely herself when I returned, with no apparent signs of stress or separation anxiety after my time away. I would highly recommend Andrea for house sitting and would happily reach out to her again for future stays or drop in visits!
Jasmine watched our dog Mickey while we went away for three nights and we were very very happy with the care that she gave him and the updates and photos that she sent to us. She even got him to eat on day one which we did not expect! We’ve been looking for someone for a very long time who we are comfortable with, and we have finally found someone!
Patrick was caring, thoughtful and our dog appeared happy! He sent photos each day and notes of new behaviors (flipping for a belly rub, etc.). Our dog was immediately comfortable with Patrick. Since we picked her up, if we mention Patrick’s name, she starts wagging her tail.
I couldn’t be happier or more impressed with Sophia. She is awesome! she took wonderful care of our baby and treated her life her own I saw this with the many updates (not just pictures but videos)of their time together I could see how loved Lulu was by their interaction this was our first time leaving our little girl alone for so long and using the service so of course we were a little nervous. When we arrived home our place was left in the same condition we left it I was really great being able to keep Lulu in her comfortable space. Sophia is kind,compassionate, respectful and a wonderful caregiver. We completely trust her and she relieved our stress and anxiety and about leaving so we were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest knowing she was well taken care Lulu has a new Auntie lol! We will be requesting Sophia every time from now on, I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel secure and worry free about their pet care💕

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Crystal Beach is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $41 and $89 per night. 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.

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 Beach 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 Beach 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 Beach 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crystal Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
