“Bradlei was the best. I needed help in a pinch and it was my first time using this kind of service… not ideal, but she was super responsive and accommodating. She made it easy and took really great care of my buddy. Definitely would recommend and plan to hire again. Thank you Bradlei!”
“Very playful and energetic with my pups! Made sure the my dogs had everything they need and gave them lots of love. While on vacation we received lots of photos. We are happy that we found someone who cares and loves our dogs just as much as us. Jennifer is someone you can trust!”
About: Although I have no professional experience working with dogs, growing up I have owned several. As a result, I have turned into a huge dog lover, and I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes. In addition, I have handled dogs with varying types of demeanor from some that are more nervous and submissive, as well as those who are more dominant. I treat and love every dog I meet as if they were my own. :) I actually did Rover for several years, but took a break as I moved to the UK for a bit. I'm back in the Chicagoland area now though as I figure out next steps, which means lots of time for walks, playtime, and snuggles as I navigate the minefield that is LinkedIn. I'm always happy to check in throughout the day with pictures and videos as I want to make sure you feel confident that your dog is properly taken care of while you're away. Please reach out if you have any further questions! Other languages: fluent in American Sign Language, conversational in Spanish. As mentioned, I'm currently readjusting to being back in the States after living overseas for a few years. As of right now, I've got very open availability. I'm currently unable to have pets in my home. But I'm happy to meet your fur baby where they are and follow whatever routine they've got set. Just let me know!
“Haily was awesome, she took great care of our dogs. She spent time with them in the basement during a tornado warning. My golden Is very afraid of storms and is not fun to be around during them but Haily took it in stride. She communicated with us while we were gone and sent pictures. Would definitely highly recommend her.”
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and a safe, comfortable experience while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a cat owner and experienced pet sitter, I'm used to planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules when needed, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to provide consistent, reliable care that helps pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule, preferences, and needs. In a client's home, I provide attentive care that includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection. I treat every home with respect and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
About: I have had my own two dogs and also have cared for friends' pets including walking, feeding, and administering medication. I have also stayed overnight to care for pets. I help care for my elderly parents so my schedule is mostly flexible. I am at church Saturday evenings from about 4-7 so I am unavailable then. I am patient with pets and upon meeting them I let them see for themselves that they can trust me by sniffing me or whatever they need to do. With my own dog I always make sure he is safe and well cared for.
“Jorden was very nice. He took good care of the dogs. There weren't messes to clean up when we got home. We were very happy with our choice to have him watch our pets. we would do it again.”
About: I've had my share of pets since I was probably about 6 years old and my love kept growing with them. I currently have 3 pets; 2 dogs (Pitbull and a Doberman mix) and a cockatiel. They are my world, along with my husband and 7-year-old twins. I work part-time so I can do late mornings, evenings, and/or weekends to fit your needs. I have a 4-hour break in between my morning work routes and I am off of work by 5 pm. How I care for my pets in my household, may be different from your house. I am able to adhere to any and all rules for your fur babies.
“Amanda is the best! She is a great communicator and goes the extra mile! Everything has been perfect and my puppies LOVE her! I will continue to hire Amanda if she is available!”
“I was very nervous leaving my pet behind on vacation but Lucy was always in good hands with Alli. She went above and beyond. We can't thank her enough. Lucy now has a new friend. I would rate her 100 on a scale from 1 to 10.”
About: I am a fully licensed veterinary technician in the state of Illinois with an associates degree in Veterinary Medical Technology & I have multiple years of experience with house/pet sitting. I’m currently working full time four days a week until early-late afternoon in the Joliet area, therefore I am available for your pets early morning routine & evening routine. Depending on your location, I am available for mid-day check ins as well. I find myself to be strategic within my care for my own animals & client’s animals. My animals are kept on a consistent schedule & I expect myself to keep the same expectations for my client pet care. I offer stay-in home pet care & drop-ins dependent on your location.
About: I’ve owned pets since I was younger. I was in charge of walking, feeding, and grooming them. I will provide a loving, safe and comfortable space for your baby’s needs. I pay attention to detail in case there are special request/requirements. My schedule is pretty flexible. We can discuss specific times needed to care for your pet. I am available during the week after 9 a.m and any time on weekends. I have a spacious backyard and inside my home. To provide your fur baby with the care they need, I can also take further steps to make sure he/she is comfortable.
“Sarah is fantastic! We got so many photos and our pups were healthy and happy when we came home. She also picked up around the house so we came home to a cleaner house than we left! Will definitely hire her again for future needs.”
“Brooke was very patient with Bailey and went above and beyond. When we came home, she was sitting on the bathroom floor with Bailey comforting her due to the fireworks. Thank you, Brooke!”
About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.

Alison was great to work with. We appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, was very responsive and sent pics of our fur baby. Everything was neat and in order when we got back home and Keke looked very happy. We will definitely use Alison for future bookings.
Anna was amazing! Great communication and we could tell by the daily provided photos that our dogs were having a great time! She went above and beyond, even handling an issue at our home for us while we were away! We will definitely book her again the next time we go away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Crystal Lawns
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crystal Lawns on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,266 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crystal Lawns. 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 Lawns 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 Lawns 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 Lawns 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 Lawns. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
