About: I love caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species but my favorite creatures to look after are fish! I have over 7 years of experience in fish care and husbandry from a variety of settings; whether you need me to raise juvenile cichlids while you’re out of town, or just make sure your tank hasn’t exploded, I’m your guy. I work in the pet care industry so I also have experience with reptiles, small animals, and of course dogs and cats <3 I work mornings so I will always be available after 3:30pm for any drop in visits or house sitting! I typically have weekends off but, I am able to switch shifts around if your pet has specific needs. I do rent, so I am unable to board pets. As far as looking after your pets in your home I assure you there is no need to worry, I will look after your belongings better than my own! I prefer to do meet and greets and learn the ground rules before committing to a job, this also gives us an opportunity to start building some trust.

About: I walked dogs with a company for 4 years while living in New York City. The company specialized in individual household care, walking only the dogs of the household at a time. So no mess of leashes, just one-on-one (or two) dogs at a time. (I even got to walk Jimmy Buffett's dogs while working there) I cared for all manner and breed of dog, from ones that never ran out of energy and loved everyone, to dogs that just wanted to sit on the couch and didn't care about other dogs. And before that, my family always had at least one dog around while my mother trained puppies to be service animals. I have also provided care for cats over the years, having lived with them and cared for cats in dog/cat homes. My care for animals runs deep, and I love to see them get what they need to really be happy and healthy. I pay close attention to each animal and try to understand what they need and meet them where they're at, from unruly puppies to senior dogs in their sunset years. I'm currently self-employed, so I'm able to offer flexible availability to best suit the needs of each pet owner. I've grown up around pets and care deeply for their well-being, so I know how important it is for both owners and pets for the animals to get timely care and exercise. Having worked as a professional dog walker (just 1-2 dogs at a time, as to better give individual attention and care), I know how important it is to clients to be able to rely on a caregiver and trust their pet is in good hands. Each animal has their own needs that need to be accounted for, and those needs may change depending on the day or time of year. Being attentive, creative, and willing to go the extra mile means I'm giving each pet the best care I can each time.

“Morgan was an excellent caretaker for my cats. She arrived at the expected times and made sure to send photos of what they were up to each day, and she communicated regularly about their habits—e.g., one cat didn’t want her food one day, but soon went back to normal. The cats clearly enjoyed her company, and everything was perfectly in order when I returned home. Morgan also went above and beyond to leave me a hand-written daily log of activities and the cats’ behaviors. I would definitely book Morgan again and recommend her to friends with pets!”

I appreciate that she spends some time with Nola when she is here and sends pictures and updates. She always provides excellent care, whether it is overnights or drop-ins.”

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family. I’m experienced with administering medications, following special diets, and providing calm, reassuring care for anxious pets. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. What Sets Me Apart: I focus on building trust through consistency, patience, and clear communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and preferences, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My background in handling multiple pets at once and caring for animals with special needs means you can relax knowing your pets are in capable hands. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight care, or weekend stays, I make sure your pet’s comfort and routine always come first. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d want for my own. I follow all care instructions closely, keep things tidy, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s sticking to training routines, administering medication, or giving extra cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and comfort level.

About: I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I have the biggest soft spot for them, and I have two dogs of my own. I have had my own dog since I was about 19, but have had outdoor farm dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been around dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and other small animals for as long as I can remember. I am patient, detail orientated and I truly just love spending time with animals. Big or small, I love them all! I do work during the day, but I have the ability to pop out if/when I need to. I am free evenings and weekends. My schedule can be flexible if needed. I have a dog friendly home. To me this means there’s nothing but toys on the ground. Garbages are hidden and I am very aware of what is around my animals. I also have a dog park in front of my apartment!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 7 years through friends, neighbors, and family. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just extra cuddles and attention. I also understand how important communication is, so I always send updates and photos to help owners feel at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends. I always try to accommodate each pet owner’s routine to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away.

We had a fantastic experience! Communication was excellent from start to finish, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, our pup was incredibly well cared for and clearly loved and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Crystal on Rover is $17 per visit as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 per visit. 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 September 2026, there are 143 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Crystal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
