“Beth was fantastic. Very trustworthy and struck a great balance between letting us know how our dogs were doing and letting us enjoy our trip in peace knowing they were in good hands! We would definitely go with her again.”
“Kelly was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! She took such amazing care of our dog and our house while we were gone for an extended vacation! She had great communication and the pictures she sent truly captured how comfortable our dog was with her. She has such a kind and calm personality which made us leaving put our dog at ease. She went above and beyond and helped prepare meals for our dog when we were getting home later than expected and the house was left spotless!!! Kelly is 10/10 and an exceptional pal for our dog! We plan on using Kelly for the future!”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our senior pup at our home while we were on vacation, especially during a big winter storm. She was communicative and proactive with any questions that came up, will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.”
“Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!”
“Pat is the absolute best! She took great care of my Gracie and house. She provides photos of your pet and how they are doing. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend! Thank again Pat!!”
“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”
“Ryn was so incredibly kind and accommodating with a last minute booking. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, and then spent the day with them while we were out of town. She kept us updated and left our home exactly as she left it. Would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryn!”
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!
About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.
“Alyssa did such a great job watching our dogs! Great communication and we received a lot of updates and pictures! This was our first time using rover and we felt so much better knowing our dogs were under such great care!”
“Andrew was a fantastic sitter while we were away on vacation for a week. We received a daily update with pictures and when we returned home, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. The house was clean and Andrew made sure to be helpful with making sure the house was ready for us when we returned home. We are so grateful and our dogs love him!”
“Maggie was awesome. She stayed at our house for over a week and did a great job caring for our dog & 4 cats. Usually our pets seem a little on edge when we get back from trips (with boarding & drop in sitters) but they are all calm and content. She left our house in good shape & even washed the sheets before she left!!”
About: My family has had dogs in the home since before I was born. While I don't know if I can commit to a furry friend of my own quite yet living in an apartment, I look forward to caring for yours! I work in office five days a week but have flexibility in my schedule to take long lunch breaks or finish my day remotely. I like to go to the Metro Parks for hikes on the weekend. There are grassy areas around my apartment complex and a dog run. For social or active dogs, I am happy to walk them in Goodale Park.
About: With 13 years of dedicated ownership and care for a German Shepherd, coupled with specialized expertise in senior dog care, I offer a unique blend of experience, compassion, and understanding that sets me apart as a dog sitter. Your furry companions are not just pets to me; they are cherished family members deserving of the utmost love, attention, and tailored care. Unfortunately, my dog died over a year ago, so helping others with their pets has helped me tremendously with the grieving process. Incorporating pet care seamlessly into my daily routine, I strike a balance between my part-time work commitments and online coursework towards becoming an English teacher. Despite a busy schedule, I ensure my furry companions receive ample attention and care. With structured walks, playtime, and cuddles interspersed throughout the day, I create moments of joy and companionship for them. Teaching English classes two nights a week adds rhythm to my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to both my professional pursuits and the well-being of my beloved pets. I live alone in my apartment, where I provide attentive care to dogs. In a pet-friendly complex equipped with ample walking paths and grassy areas, I ensure that each dog's needs are met with regular walks, playtime, and affection. With no roommates or other pets, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where dogs can thrive and feel at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Urbancrest
Abigail was over the top incredible! So kind, communicative, and reassuring. She did great adjusting to our high energy pups, sent many videos and photos, and left our home in better condition than she found it. She was a joy to have and I'd recommend her to anyone!
Kayla was wonderful and incredibly patient with our fur babies. Our dog can be really shy and full of anxiety when we leave him but Kayla handled his care so graciously. She provided consistent check in’s to us on both our dog and cat which was great for peace of mind. Would recommend her to anyone!

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 Urbancrest 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 Urbancrest 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Urbancrest 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!

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 .
