“Sarah was very responsive and took great care of Ellie and Charlotte. The updates she sent us really showed me that our two girls became really comfortable with her quickly.”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Lesley was a life saver! We have 2 dogs, a cat, 2 mini donkeys, and a horse and she cared for all of them while we were gone. She even sent pictures of our babies which I love receiving while away from them. She gave them lots of cuddles and love; even if the cat may have forced her to cuddle more than anticipated 😅 we will definitely be reaching out to Lesley again whenever we need someone we can trust to watch our four legged babies!”
“Jeremy was perfect for watching our boys while we went on vacation for 4 days. He provided lots of updates with pictures, followed all instructions and even cleaned our backyard and mopped as it was a wet week. He respected our house and loved on our babies. We will be a repeat client for sure in future! Highly recommend Jeremy for his services.”
“Alicia truly is a Super Star Sitter. Right from my first contacts with her everything went so smoothly for me. She was a big help getting me started with using the app but by far her work as a sitter for my two dogs was phenomenal. Along with all the many small things that are so important with watching our dogs. I will be booking her again just as soon as I can. She is awesome. Thank you.”
“Asia helped us out at the last minute and we had a great experience! She came over multiple times per day to take care of our dog while we were out of town and sent lots of pictures. We would definitely use her again!”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Madyson was the sweetest sitter we have had ever! She really was loving to our pup and considerate of our wishes re the house sitting. We will definitely book her again if we can.”
“Perri is a fantastic house/dog sitter!!! We received countless photos every day of our dog Murph looking very content, happy, and well taken care of. We would highly recommend Perri!!”
“Alex was amazing. She took care of our dog and cat, both can by a little challenging, and did everything we asked. We would definitely recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets.”
“Bennett was fantastic! He was professional, communicative and truly looked after our lil pup. Having him taking care of our pet helped us have a great vacation. We will definitely work with Bennett in the future and he made a forever furry friend!”
“Max was wonderful! Knowing Skipper was in such good hands allowed us to enjoy our vacation fully. Looked forward to getting our morning updates and pictures! Coming home to a happy puppy was such a delight. Thank you, Max!”
“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our fur-kid, Franklin, and our home while we were gone. She was great about sending photos and reaching out to me if she had any questions. Franklin completely took to her and was as normal as could be when we got home after a week away. (He's 8 mos old and this was his first experience being left with a sitter.) It was wonderful to return home to a tidy house AND a happy cat. I would recommend Tori to anyone who needs a thoughtful, conscientious house & pet sitter!”
“Michael is the absolute BEST dog watcher we have ever had. He just did everything perfectly. He is very dependable and I did not have to worry about a single thing while I was away from my dog. He sent me a lot of photos and he was so good with my dog. I got home and she was so happy. I know she had fun. I will use him going forward for everything. He’s incredible!”
“Leaving Bailey is never easy, especially because of his seizure history, but Heather made the entire experience stress-free. She was dependable, caring, and attentive, and it was obvious that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Knowing Bailey was safe allowed us to enjoy our trip without constant worry. We are thankful for her help and would happily recommend her to friends and family. Bailey will definitely be seeing her again! 🐾”
“Frances was fantastic! She communicated and sent pictures. She handled my problem child/dog with grace and compassion. We will definitely use rover and Frances again!”
“Alex & his wife took care of my 3 pups over a long weekend. I had them stay at my home as 2 are foster dogs & more comfortable here now. Everything was great & the pups were well taken care of.”
“Kristen was awesome! Set up a time to come and meet the dogs ahead of time and kept us updated with pictures every day. Would absolutely have her watch our place and pups again!”

Lesley took great care of my 11 year old Pyrenees mix. She was great at communicating and reached out with any questions or concerns regarding my pup. My dog is a picky eater and requires some extra steps to get her to eat, but Lesley didn't mind at all. She also brushed her which I didn't request but certainly didn't mind! During a thunderstorm my dog was scared and laying under a table, Lesley moved her dog bed under the table so she would be more cozy - enough said! She will take great care of your fur babies while you are away.
As usual Sarah was awesome. I would actually rate her six stars out of five instead of five. I was worried when I left on my 8-day trip because my dog was a little sick and I had to take him to the vet on the Sunday before I left and fortunately the numbers were good enough that the vet felt I could travel and he would be okay. That said Sarah went up to my vet for me and picked up some medication to help him get back on his feet. She was the one making suggestions of what to feed him to get him to eat and I think that's typical of her going above and beyond.
Abby took great care of my German Shepherd and my cat while I was out of town for several days. She kept me updated to everything going on with the pets and in the house, and I came home to calm, happy pets and a clean house with trash taken out and bedding already in the washer. Thanks, Abby!
Danica seemed comfortable with caring for two dogs, one being a puppy with us for just a month. I did leave detailed instructions to help with recall of verbal directions given at our meet and greet. Most directions were followed, as far as I could deduct. However, she did not use their food bowls to give them their food, as written in the reminder notes. The bowls had labeled dry food with treats for bedtime and a spoon for mixing with the refrigerated food. However, she fed them without the bowls and without mixing dry and cold foods. That was a puzzlement to me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Crystal Lake Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,672 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crystal Lake Park. 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 Lake Park 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 Lake Park 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 Lake Park 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.

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.
