“Kelly was fantastic! She was on time and hung out with Dixie for a little bit. She made sure Dixie had fresh water and got to hang out in the sun for a few minutes. We’re so thankful to Kelly for taking such good care of our baby!”
“Madison was great. I appreciate having someone in my neighborhood to quickly respond and accept requests to drop in on Nova. This allows me the freedom to take jobs out of town last minute when they pop up. Knowing my dog is in safe hands is a major comfort.”
“Kathy is the ideal sitter for our cat - caring, prompt, following his twice daily feeding needs & preferences, providing play time for him.. and bonding well. Best of all were the photos she sent at each visit, giving us daily laughs and smiles at his antics and cute poses she captured. Thank you, Kathy! Hope you’re available next time!”
About: I have over one year of experience caring for dogs through fostering, dog walking, grooming, and daily pet care. As a nursing student, I have developed strong caregiving, observation, and communication skills that I naturally extend to every pet I care for. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to individual needs, whether that means providing exercise, companionship, grooming, or maintaining routines. I take pride in keeping pet parents informed with real-time updates, photos, and videos, ensuring they always know how their furry family members are doing. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I maintain a reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care. I’m available after 2:00 PM Monday–Wednesday and have flexible availability Thursday–Sunday for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m committed to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while accommodating each pet parent’s schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live on a quiet, low-traffic road with a large yard for supervised play and outdoor time. For added peace of mind, my property is equipped with security cameras to help ensure a safe environment for your furry family member.
About: I have loved 3 senior dogs over the rainbow. I have a high energy cattle dog. I've had squirrels, cats ,bunnies, roosters, ducks. All that needed individual care at different times. I'm confident administering medicine and giving arthritis massages. I am a college student who just wants some relaxing and fun work around furry friends. I have availability most weekdays and weekends with enough notice. My animals are my babies first and foremost. Other people's animals are also my babies so any care coming from me would be exactly what I would do for my own.
“We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.”
“We had a great experience with Andrea. She was incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and clearly took the time to make sure everything was handled exactly how we like it. Most importantly, Suma really enjoyed her and had a great time playing. She was always prompt and communicative, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages during her visits—which I know many pet owners will really appreciate. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort. She’s newer to Rover, but you wouldn’t know it from the level of care and professionalism she brings. We’d absolutely book her again!”
“Katelyne was so easy to work with! Wore our pup out and took great care of our chickens, while keeping us updated on how they were doing the whole time. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Growing up , I have owned every type of pet . Cats , dogs anywhere from shi-tzus to St. Bernard’s , rabbits , hamsters , snakes and tarantulas. I go on 4 mile walks/runs about 3 -4 days a week and happy to take your pet along for a walk or run! I’ve taken in many pets , such as those who have needed senior care , pets who were deaf and or blind , and pets who were rescued. I have 3 years of paid experience working with animals ! I’m currently in school virtually full time so I guess you could say I work from home ! Im able to fit any walk routine , any potty schedule , and any drop bys if needed ! I have a fenced in back yard! I also have a spare room for any animals I board ! When visiting clients homes I send updates and pictures if needed !
About: I was a dog trainer for Petsmart, I have been a foster for rescues, and I have taken in many homeless pets. I have 2 golden retrievers that are very loved and spoiled and are my world! I enjoy taking care of all dogs, young, old, big, or small. I can give oral or injectable medications. I only use filtered water for my fur babies and yours, no tap water. I'm home all day, I run a business from my house. I spend most of the days with my dogs and they love play mates! I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs of my own to keep your babies company and I have a crate I can use if you prefer or if needed.
“Tina was amazing! She took care of Martin like her own. We had her do a few drop ins while out of town and she kept us in the loop the entire time. She even offered to check on our pup when our flight was delayed. Tina made me feel like I could put my phone down and not worry if Marty was going to be taken care of. I definitely recommend Tina for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have had several types of pets since a small child. I have also rescued several animals. I believe all animals should be a part of our families. I will be home the entire time your pets are in my home. Pets are allowed on furniture and sleep in bed. I want your pets to feel secure and at home. I have a fenced yard and 2 rescue dogs of my own. I do not crate mine, but I will care for your babies any way that they are comfortable.
“This was our first time using Rover and we feel so lucky to have found Bonnie! She was very responsive to our frequent communication - answering questions, understanding when we needed to make a schedule change, and sharing updates and photos during her visits. Most importantly, she gave care and attention to our beloved Kiwi and for that we're very grateful! We highly recommend Bonnie and will definitely use her again.”

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Crystal River on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Crystal River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
