“Tia did a great job taking care of my two babies. Tia stayed in my home and cared for my animals for about 12 days.. she updated me daily with pictures and reached out with any issues. I felt very comfortable with her being there. Thanks Tia!!!”
“Kelly was phenomenal with our large and energetic dogs. We got frequent updates very consistent with their normal personalities so they were very comfortable around her. When we got home, I could tell they'd had plenty of play and interaction as they were (relatively) calm and content. We would absolutely have her sit again in the future and for longer sits. She is reliable, trustworthy, and natural with animals.”
“Rachel did a great job caring for our beloved, Jack. She stayed the night with him while we were away and got him to the park twice every day -- sending a photo every time so we could see his sweet face. She also kept our house in good order, getting packages off the porch, etc. We will use Rachel again!”
“Miriam did the best job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. Miriam did a great job communicating, sending photos, updates, and left our home in fantastic condition. We have a senior dog with some anxiety, and Miriam was very experienced and understanding, which truly can’t express how much that’s appreciated. Would rebook with Miriam any time and suggest you to do the same!”
“Camryn provided exceptional all-day dog sitting for my 25 lb dog, Maverick. During his second stay with her, Maverick immediately recognized Camryn and showered her with kisses. Her home is dog-friendly and equipped with everything needed for a safe and enjoyable stay. Camryn's understanding of dog behavior was impressive. She anticipated Maverick's needs, providing the right amount of exercise, mental stimulation, and downtime. Regular updates and photos reassured me that Maverick was having a fantastic time under her attentive care. Maverick was content and relaxed when I picked him up, a clear sign of the bond formed with Camryn. I highly recommend her reliable and loving dog sitting services. Camryn is the perfect choice for a fulfilling day of attention and fun for your furry friend!”
“Rebecca did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She was flexible with my last minute changes and gave updates and pics. This helped my anxiety as my pup wasn’t feeling well when I left, so the reassurance was much appreciated!”
“Rebecca did an amazing job with our very reactive pup! Our dog is very sweet with humans but is very reactive towards other dogs, making walking her understandably challenging. Rebecca watched her for a week and had no issues during this time. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ben took great care of our pets while we were out of town. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates he provided and how quick he was to respond when we messaged him. The only downside is now our dogs might expect even more walks than we provide them when we’re home.”
“Brittany is so wonderful with our doggie. We don’t worry at all when Brittany stays. It’s a great feeling to know your doggie is being taken care of and having a great time.”
About: I have been taking care of pets all sizes and ages for over 6 years both in and out of the home. I make it my personal mission to love and care for your babies so you’re able to be away knowing they’re being cared for just the same. I am currently in school and working part time which gives me my evenings and weekends free to take care of your pets. I have my own fur babies at home and one of my own so finding time to take care of others pets when they need it not only benefits you, but also me! I have experience with all types of animals and their routines. I am experienced on crate and litter training, active or non active. I am able to keep up and adapt to any animals needs and create the best routine and environment for them.
About: Hello! My name’s Mary, I love animals and have had professional experience taking care of pets. I worked at a doggy day care as a manager for a year and a half. I also boarded dogs and walked them there, working with all different breeds big and small! During my time at the daycare I became dog cpr certified, have handled dog fights, cleaned wounds, and administered medication! I have my own Rottweiler, Maple who is quite the handful herself :) I’ve worked on farms caring for all different types of animals which included large guard dogs so I have comfortability and knowledge of all sizes! I love providing enrichment activities during drop in visits and boards. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own, with love and care! I have a job in the afternoon and the evenings so I have open availability in the mornings and on most weekends for walks and stays! Unfortunately I do rent a house that doesn’t allow pets but I am more than capable and willing to drive to the house of the pet and or wherever you would like them walked!
“Ashly was amazing with our 2 dogs. She stayed with them for about 11 days and we received multiple updates and photos from the time she was with them. She left our house in amazing condition as well and there were zero issues while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Erynn was amazing! She went over & above caring for my dog while I was away for 6 days. It's clear she genuinely cared about making sure my pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I really appreciated her communication, reliability, and attention to detail, which gave me peace of mind while traveling. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care!”
“Kristin was the absolute best! She took such great care of Benji, made sure he had everything he needed, and even sent me picture updates throughout the stay! I came back home to a very VERY happy pup :)”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old, and cats aince I was 15. I have trained, bathed, walked, and simply adored dogs for all these years! I worked with a certified trainer to train my Lucy in obedience and service tasks. I have experience taking care of puppies, seniors dogs, senior cats, and kittens. I have nursed and fostered kittens as young as three weeks to get them out of barn dumps and into loving homes. My youngest cat, Courage, is my first ever foster fail! I am not shied away by medications either, as I have plenty of experience with administering them to both cats and dogs. I currently work full-time as a special education teacher. I am available on weekdays after 4:30pm, and I'm very open on weekends. I can also accept longer bookings on weekdays that fall under school breaks! I take pet parent concerns to heart, and I follow written directions down to the letter! I am very attentive to detail and strive to make each experience a positive one. I will ensure I am doing everything possible to keep pets safe and happy in my clients' homes. I can clean up toys as needed, fill water bowls, and scoop litter boxes to maintain a neat environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Urbancrest
We had a wonderful experience with Anna! She stayed at our home and took excellent care of both of my pets and my place. She was responsible, attentive, reliable, and followed all instructions carefully. I especially appreciated her commitment to my dog’s medical needs, making sure all scheduled insulin shots were administered on time. Knowing that she handled this important responsibility so well gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were in wonderful hands, and my home was well cared for. I truly appreciate her dedication, kindness, and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I would happily book her again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Urbancrest is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 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 November 2026, there are 1,458 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Urbancrest. 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 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.
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 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!
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 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.

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.
