“Veronica was a pleasure to work with. She took special care of our Izzy while we were on a family trip to Montana. My baby doesn't take to many people but, they got along great. Veronica was nice enough to send me a text now and then to ease my stress of leaving Izzy behind. (first time apart) I look forward to having Veronica stay with our girl again on a future trip. SD”
About: I was raised on a farm so I have experience with a variety of animals. My family has also had multiple cats, dogs, and small animals who I’ve had a hand in raising and caring for. I don’t have any of my own pets to take care of due to my living arrangements and plenty of free time so your animals are sure to get all my affection and attention. I’m comfortable with any types of cages, leashes, and harnesses and know what kinds of behaviors to look for to know when these are necessary.
About: Born & raised in Texas, recently moved to the area, grew up with/around animals my whole life; Having over 20 years of experience with a variety of breeds from livestock, outdoor to full indoor fur babies I'm capable and reliable to take the best care of your lil' one! I’m quick on my feet and ready to take on any task. Lately I have transitioned into working more from home which gives me plenty of free time during the days & evenings either to drop by and check in or go for a nice long walk/run to exercise your pet or just stick to their normal active routine if they have one. You can rest assured that if you happen to be out of town that the regimen you set will be strictly followed- I’m always happy to send candid updates via pics/vids of your lil one when you’re missing them. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns; I am delighted to answer any that you may have! Currently working from home, I have ample opportunity to tend to your fur babies needs at any given time during the day/evening. If you are looking for someone with a flexible schedule who is willing to drop what they are doing to check on your loved one, then I'm the right sitter for you. Whether it is taking care of paws or claws, I genuinely will provide the best level of care regarding your fuzzy family member with the highest regard making sure their routine stays uninterrupted. If your dog loves to run, then we will run! Also more than happy to relax and chill with the low energy types while still having that playful interaction if they're in the mood.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 25 plus years and I currently help out rescues in my spare time. All animals need love patience and guidance from their caregivers. My heart has always been with dogs/animals .Your pet will be so loved and cared for and I have plenty of references you can call. I currently work full time and I’m out by 4 pm. You can call and we can discuss details of what times you will need. I have done long vacations for a client so I’m willing to work with the schedules you need. I have a very big fenced in yard and double lot! I live in millcreek in a nice safe area. My home inside is set up nice where I have door gates to separate if needed. I own one pup now that will be turning one year old soon and could use a sweet friend!
“Kayla is amazing! She took excellent care of my doggos, sent pictures every day, followed instructions to a tee. One of my doggos got sick from doggy daycare and she called me immediately, took them to the vet, gave them meds, and made arrangements for the dogs to be cared for while she worked. She is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!”

About: I’ve been dog/cat/house sitting since I was about 14! What started out as something I could do for a little extra money quickly turned into something I have a strong passion for and through that I have gained reliable clients and relationships! I have been taking care of many animals through those years and have grown to appreciate each breed as their own individual! Though I’m not specialized in animal care my love, vigilance and passion for helping and taking care of animals makes up for that. I’ve had three cats and a big dog. My latest cat is blind so I’m familiar with some medical care as well! And if you have a reptile (no venomous) no worries! I have experience with them as well as I have my own leapord gecko! I know everyone wants someone loving, reliable and trustworthy to watch over their fur babies and I will not disappoint! On a typical day in the summer I usually have off as I work full time during the school year. Which leaves me free during the day and night for visits or to watch over night. I am free to watch, walk or just play with your fur baby at any time! I typically will do a no charge visit prior to me meeting a new client and animal/s to get a feel for their environment and how your day to day typically runs so I know their routine. I try not to disrupt their normal routine as much as possible! Once we have established the routine I will follow it depending on your specifications! I have experience with all shapes and sizes. I typically bring in mail and packages, water plants and light cleaning if you so desire. It’s all what you’d like! It’s you and your fur babies world I’m just living in it!

About: I've always been an animal lover and have spent years caring for pets for family, friends, neighbors, and my dad's clients. Being the person people trust with their pets is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, cat care, or house sitting, I treat every pet like part of the family. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Right now, I have an open and flexible schedule while I’m looking for work, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I offer dependable, detail-oriented pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals such as rabbits, reptiles, and fish. My approach is centered on consistency, safety, and comfort following each pet’s routine closely while providing calm, attentive care. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walks, or companionship, I make sure every pet feels relaxed, respected, and cared for like family.

About: I've grown up around cats my entire life, and have cared and trained them for various things like litter box training. For the last couple years I've learned how to care for dogs, especially learning how to care for paraplegic pets. My schedule is set in stone as I work 7:30am to 3:30pm for my job. I can always accommodate for anyone that is in need of pet sitters! While I do not allow other people's pets at my own home due to past conflicts with other owners' pets, I am happy to stay overnight at any place, or stop at the house to care for your pets.

About: I have had pets for all of my life and have gained a wealth of experience along the way. For several years I worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility where I obtained the knowledge of light grooming, and administering medications such as insulin. During my time working at this facility I also learned how to handle pets that may be aggressive wether it was caused by food, toys, or anxiety. I currently have four dogs and two cats who I love dearly. I have also had the joy of taking care of many animals all the way from puppy/kitten hood all the way to the rainbow bridge. I know how hard it can be to find someone you can trust to care for your fuzzy family member, but I hope you can find that with me. If you have any questions please ask me and I will be happy to answer I am currently working as a shipping manager for a small factory but I would like to make caring for pets my full time job. I have an invisible fence with one and a half acres of area to roam. I have pet stairs leading to those hard to reach areas (like the couch or bed) for small or senior pets. I also have a cart to pull behind my bike if there are any pets that aren't so active but like fresh air. My cats enjoy the luxury of having their own bedroom so they can have peace from the dogs when needed. And of course I have a plethora of toys and treats. I am willing to make accommodations for special needs pets.
About: I work my typical job as a 5th grade teacher but was a nanny before that with lots of dog experience from that! However, I have cared for many families that had older dogs and cats as well as have gotten puppies while I was their nanny. So, I have experience with all ages of dogs as well as cats. I am currently working as a 5th grade teacher during the day until 3pm. With my nights being completely free the nights I work as well as weekends! I can be flexible, if you need quick visits or longer stays of visits for your animals. Based on your needs in your home I am able to accommodate!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cross. 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 Cross 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 Cross 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 Cross 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cross. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
