“This was the first tine Jennifer stayed with Kale'a. Kale'a is a slow moving 12 year old Lab - Jennifer walked her several tines a day, gave Kale'a her medications and lots of love. In addition, my house was also well-caref for. I can't express how happy both Kale'a and I were to have found Jennifer!”

About: No dog too big or too small, I give out a paw-sitive pet experience. Dog walking done right!!! When you are away, your dogs will play. Pet care involves integrating daily tasks like feeding, playtime, and walks. I’m currently working part time so I would have more than enough time to care for your pets!! Establishing a routine for the pets. Consistency is vital for pets, providing for their basic needs, ensuring their health, and creating a safe and stimulating environment is key!!!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and routines. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and special needs. I’m also patient with puppies who need consistency, positive reinforcement, potty training support, and help learning basic manners. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind through dependable, attentive care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy having animals around and love staying active. My schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, and giving each pet the attention they need. I’m flexible and dependable, and I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of grass, giving pets a safe space to run, play, explore, and get some fresh air. In my home, I provide a comfortable, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.

However, I instantly felt I could trust Charlotte at the meet and greet and she sent lots of pictures to update us on how the pups are doing. She did a great job and spent a lot of time with our puppies which was so important to us! We would definitely recommend her!”

She took care of our house well and was so generously flexible when our ac broke mid trip. She clearly loves dogs and I would highly recommend booking her for sitting!!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and I took a job as a kennel attendant at a rescue, but unfortunately they closed their brick and mortar location to go back to a foster based rescue. I have gained experience working with many types of dogs. From large and small breeds, to selective dogs, to puppies, and my personal favorite, special needs and senior babies. I currently lost my job at a dog rescue due to the building closing down to focus on a foster based rescue, so my availability at this moment is open I can provide love, exercise and enrichment as well as discipline, crating, and spoiling your dog. Unfortunately I cannot have dogs in my home so I would need to come to you.

About: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside a dog, it’s too dark to read.” -Groucho Marx My mom would say I’m a cool dude. I work at night twice per week. Dogs should be comfortable alone for four to six hours , but exceptions can be made if necessary. During the day I will be home and available to give your dog as much attention as they want! I usually take multiple walks per day, but able to adapt based on dog’s energy level. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with a private backyard, so any dog will feel comfortable. Inside, your dog will have free roam of the main floor and lower floor including bedrooms. Dogs can be crated, if preferred, but a crate must be provided.

“Kayly was wonderful! She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand so she could meet my dog, see where she would be staying, and go over his routine and everything he would need during the stay. I really appreciated having that time with her ahead of time. On the day of the stay, Kayly arrived early, which gave me a chance to see her interact with my dog before I left. He can be pretty picky about people, so seeing how comfortable he was with her gave me so much peace of mind. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated and followed all of the instructions I left for him, which I really appreciated. She also let me know when he wasn’t eating and went above and beyond to make sure he eventually ate something. That meant a lot to me because it showed that she was genuinely paying attention to him and his needs. I came home to a clean home and, most importantly, a happy dog. I’m incredibly thankful for Kayly and the care she gave him. It was clear that she made him a priority while I was away, and that was exactly what I needed.”

“The highest number of stars we could give Christine is 5 but she deserves many more. We planned a last-minute trip and our usual dog/house sitters weren't available. We went to Rover and found Christine. We met with her prior to our trip and instantly knew that our pups would be in the perfect hands with Christine. She went above and beyond any expectations we had. She kept in close contact with us and cared for our Emma and Fergus like they were her own. We rescued Fergus a year ago and, other than my husband and me, he is afraid of humans. Christine is the first "stranger" to be able to pet him which is huge progress in getting Fergus to overcome his fear. The day we left, Christine sent us a video of Emma and Fergus running and playing in our yard, so we knew that they had adjusted quickly. It didn't take long for them to warm up to Christine! Christine will always be our go-to when we go out of town. We completely trust her with our fur-babies and in our home.”

Pam took great in-home care of our three pups for our extended vacation. Great communication and shared lots of photos of our dogs. Left the house clean and was very accommodating to our schedule. Took the time for pre-stay visits to get the lay of the land. 100% satisfied, and highly recommend.

Maddie was fantastic! We were gone for a week, and when we got home, the house was almost exactly as we left it. It was clear she took great care of our home. What impressed us even more was our dogs. They were completely relaxed and acting like we had never left, which tells me they were well cared for, comfortable, and got plenty of attention while we were away. That's about the highest compliment I can give a house sitter. We wouldn't hesitate to book Maddie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for both their home and their pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Crystal Lawns

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Crystal Lawns is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $72 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 1,992 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 , 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.
