We could not have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Luna! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease—and that peace of mind only grew while we were away. She went above and beyond, playing endless games of ball with Luna (which is her love language!) and keeping us updated with the sweetest photos and notes. It was clear she wasn’t just “watching” Luna—she was engaging, caring, and genuinely enjoying their time together. We’re so grateful and will absolutely be booking again!

Adrienne is wonderful! We were skeptical of this process, as we've always, in the past, been fortunate to use family in our home to care for our pet. Our furbaby, Stella, requires daily medication and special attention due to being a nervous nellie. She quickly fell in love with Adrienne, as she could sense the genuine love she had for her. Adrienne went above and beyond, taking Stella on extra walks, shared extra time with her outside, followed our fine detailed lengthy notes on Stella's routine and care perfectly, and she left our home just as she found it. If you're looking for someone who will love and care for your pet as if it were their own, Adrienne is the person!

Hannah took very good care of our pets! Our senior dog had some last minute health concerns that she was able to take on and handle through her stay. She managed all of our care requests and left our house in very clean condition. We will definitely book her again in the future!!

Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!

Karrie was fantastic! She stayed in our home, which helped our dogs feel comfortable and relaxed right away. She kept them on their usual routine, so we never had to worry while we were away. She was also a wonderful house guest and even washed dishes and bedding before she left. We couldn't have asked for better care and will definitely be booking with her again!

About: Trustworthy and dependable, I have taken care of a wide variety of animals animals over the years, including dogs, outdoor cats, ragdoll cat, birds, chickens, horses, and calves. I understand every animal has its own unique needs and deserves compassionate care. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, drop in visits, overnight stays, or giving medication, I will provide reliable care. I have a flexible schedule I can work around for pets staying here, sleeping on the floor or outside. I will be gone during the day some days of the week, if they are ok left alone. I work at a greenhouse 3 days a week and could take puppies under a year with me to work. And also most dogs if theyre used to be out and about. I would accept puppies under a year not fixed. I have 2 ziplines in my yard and your pets are more than welcome to stay here if they would be OK with those accommodations. I can pick up and drop off typically would suit best in the evenings. I would also stay in your home so they could stay in familiar territory, but i have a greenhouse job and will be gone a good part of the day. And also work prn at an assisted living but il try to wait till 2 weeks till to pick up shifts. Cuz thats my requirement for bookings. I also have a 1 year old Aussie Mountain Doodle that will be coming with me. He loves meeting new friends. If youre worried about him getting along we can do a meet and greet. For clients within 30 miles of Gallatin, I will send you a 15% discount for less mileage. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. My profile shows Kingston, it's because I work in Kearney and am around there a lot. So dropping by between Jamesport and Kearney will be easy. I had to move my town to get the area I wanted. I have a flexible schedule and can work around it to help care for your pets, for drop in visits, walks, feeding, playtime or stays. I will care for your pets and home as if it were my own. I have stayed in multiple air bnbs and have a high rating as a traveler.

About: I have hands on, everyday experience caring for four Golden Retrievers of my own. Managing a multi dog household has given me skills in canine schedule structure, supervision, and understanding of different personalities and energy levels. I also have experience caring for infant puppies, including feeding schedules, potty training foundations, crate introduction, and the patience that can sometimes be needed during those important early development stages. I’m comfortable maintaining routines, reinforcing basic training, and providing both high-energy play and calm, attentive care. Your pet will be treated like part of my family: safe, loved, and well cared for! I work remotely full time, so I am very flexible and am able to meet you and your schedule requests, whether it be for in-home visits, walk outing, or overnight stays. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise routines, and any specific instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also reinforcing any training or household rules you have in place. I’m respectful of your home, keep everything clean and organized, and always send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hello! I have been a dog walker/sitter for 8 years and have taken care of several clients and their dogs, including relatives and neighbors. I am 18 years old, with a dog of my own and a huge passion for dogs, who is currently studying to be a veterinarian. Additionally, I take pride and excellence in letting dogs outside, cleaning up their messes, having high patience and tolerance, ability to withstand dog barking/scratching/biting etc, bathing, feeding, watering, and dog walking. I also give special attention to any additional needs a dog may have At this time, I am not working any part time or full time jobs. I am willing to support you and your pet family at any time and during any day. Based on your preferences, I can walk and sit your dogs at any frequency. Just let me know what works best for them and I will be willing to accommodate you When it comes to my neighbor’s, relative’s, and my own dog, I take care of them by putting food and water in their bowls once they run empty, taking them outside when they line up at the door or every 0-2 hours, giving them lots of pets, separating any dog that gets in a fight with their sibling using calm/safe measures, plenty of walks and a kind demeanor. Any dog that is in my care will be in good hands

Daniel was fantastic! He took amazing care of both our dogs, cats, and house. It was the most stress free experience I’ve ever had on vacation. He sent daily updates and photos, tidied up the home, and followed our dog’s routine making it a seamless transition. Our rescue who struggles to be around new people warmed up to him quickly. I highly recommend Daniel! We will definitely be using him again for any future trips.

We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Crystal Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Crystal Lakes on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 680 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crystal Lakes. 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 Lakes 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 Lakes 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 Lakes 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.

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

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
