“Mary was an amazing caregiver to our dog Gracie while we attended our daughters wedding in Washington State. I appreciate her staying the entire time so my dog didn't get lonely. She is a kind, caring and trusting person. I would highly recommend Mary to stay with you furry loved ones.”
“Margot did a great job taking care of our dog and cat. Very thorough, caring and communicated frequently to let us know everything was under control. I would highly recommend her!”
“Jason took great care of our 5 dogs and house while we were out of town! The dogs all seemed very comfortable with him. Even the one that is very weary of new people warmed up to him particularly quickly! Jason kept the house clean and was very attentive to all of the dogs needs. He read all the instructions we left for him and followed them to a T. Highly recommend Jason!”
“Melissa was the BEST! Caring, attentive to details and always kept me up to date. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Melissa! Brady & Dottie love you!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner for 10 years, I’m now embarking on a new chapter after 24 wonderful years in Chicago. Following a long career in advertising sales, I’m seeking a slower-paced, more fulfilling path — one that lets me combine my reliability with my love for animals. At 49, I bring maturity, responsibility, and genuine care to every pup I watch, ensuring your they are looked after as if they were my own. Also, the doodle you see in some pics is my amazingly chill, gets along with every living thing, sidekick Lambeau. So please note your dog(s) must be okay with other dogs. I'm currently taking some time off and won't be going back to remote work until the fall '26, at the earliest. So I'm very flexible with my time at the moment. I live in an apartment complex (2 bed / 2 bath) with a huge unfenced grassy area off my lanai, that Lambeau and I call our own backyard. I also live across the street from John Chesnut park, in the Tarpon Woods area so Lambeau and I spend lots of time at that huge dog park and/or exploring the various trails. So if you're open to that as well, I'll gladly take your pup(s) over there for some adventures.
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.
“Holi-Nicol was great! We had to make a last minute booking due to an out of town funeral. She responded quickly and set up a meet and greet for the next day. She was great with our three dogs, and kept us updated with pictures. The dogs loved her, and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Once again Deb did a wonderful job taking care of Rip!! (and our house)… Not only keeping him on his routine, Deb also has been socializing Rip with other dogs in the neighborhood on his daily walks….and sending us photos and updates all along the way, and what an amazing difference we have seen with him!! He’s made lots of new friends lol…. We definitely have many more dates planned for Deb to watch Rip!!”
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.
“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’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.
“Archie LOVES Courtney. Courtney showed up on short notice, with limited direction, and stole Archie's heart within seconds of arriving. I would give Courtney the highest recommendation, without reservation.”
About: I have pet sit for about two years through family friends, I am reliable, responsible and fun! I enjoy helping my community with pet care! I work M-SAT, but once I am out of work I go straight to pet sitting when needed. I still fit it in my routine! I care for clients pets in their homes. I am good with their feeding schedules, as well as going on walks or outside and playing!
“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had a variety of dog care and sit experience throughout the years. I’ve taken care of puppies, and I have taken care of older dogs that require medication and extra attention. I currently work remotely, so I am flexible with pet care needs. There will be situations where I need to run errands or take care of things outside of the home but as of right now I am flexible and able to meet the pet and parents needs. I will be providing care in the clients home. I only offer home sits at this time. I am happy to meet with the pet parent prior to the sit, pending availability in person versus FaceTime, to go over needs specifications of routine and review care needs prior to the sit.
About: I've been caring for animals all my life. Dogs, hamsters and birds were part of my household growing up. My purpose and passion is to care for animals in whatever capacity I can. From dogs and cats to birds, ferrets and reptiles. I have worked in the veterinary field for 30 + years. One of those hospitals was an avian and exotic hospital. I am a certified veterinary assistant although generally preferred the front desk aspect. I have chosen to leave that field and focus on pets in their home. I love pet sitting. I've been doing it on the side for close to 30years. I particularly love senior pets and cats. I love the close relationships I develop with the animals in my care. I will love and care for you pet as I do my own. This is my full time employment. I am available to drop in to your home as much as 2-3 times a day as needed. I do not board in my home and will occasionally be available for overnight stays. I will come to your home and follow your instructions to the letter. I will keep the space clean and tidy and care for a few plants as well. Your pet will receive lots of loving attention from me. Lots of snuggles if they so choose or playtime or just general company. I respect all pets boundaries.
“Jasmine was great with our 4 month old German shepherd Athena who can be a little weary of strangers. We had never left her and were so nervous but Jasmine was amazing with her and sent us updates and pictures and videos. Highly recommend her and will book her again!”

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.❤️
We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, we knew our dogs were in the best hands. Christine was incredibly caring, attentive, and reliable, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were being so well taken care of. Christine kept us updated, sent pictures and videos, and went above and beyond to make sure all dogs were happy and comfortable. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and that meant so very much to us. We came home to 3 very happy dogs, and we will absolutely ask Christine to sit for us again in the future. Highly, highly recommend! 🌟 Thank you Christine for taking such great care of Sperry, Bear and Buc! They miss you already! 💙
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 $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,556 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crystal Beach. 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 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
