“We truly got exactly what we were looking for with Sarah. She took incredible care of both our fur baby and our home. She was responsive, sent multiple photos and updates throughout the day, and we felt 100% confident in leaving our dog and our home in her hands while away. Can’t recommend enough!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager! I have ample experience with caring for senior dogs, giving walks, feeding, outdoor play, bathing, and nail clipping. I absolutely love all dogs, and I have experience with caring for big and small dogs alike! I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, so I have flexibility with my days to check in on your pets! I am open to visiting your home to care for your pet or bringing your pet into my own home to care for them! I do not travel much, so I largely have an open schedule. I will happily send you photos of your pets daily! I live in an apartment complex with ample courtyard space for dogs to walk and play. There is also a nearby dog park to take any dogs that I care for. I also have a lovely fenced in back porch that I often let my cat sit outside on. I am willing to visit and/or stay in your home with your animals as well! I will follow all instructions that you leave me, and I will ensure the safety of your pets while they are in my care.
“Kim was great!!!! She was amazing at communicating, showed up when she said she would, sent lots of photos updates, and most importantly- she got my skiddish, shy, chicken of a dog to come out of his cave and eat! Ny other boys liked her too! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Crystal is awesome! Being a veterinarian myself, I am pretty particular about who I choose to care for my dogs. Crystal is caring, detail-oriented, and compassionate. She had great communication with us about the booking and about how our dogs were doing and sent lots of pictures of them to keep our minds at ease while we were away. She was super understanding when our start and end dates needed to be changed due to unforeseen circumstances and I appreciated that so much. She has taken care of our dogs in our home twice now and I just booked her again for a longer trip. It is so nice to be able to relax knowing our dogs and our home are in good hands. I highly recommend Crystal to watch your fur babies!”
About: I’ve been taking care of Dogs since I was 8 different types of dogs. This allowed me to understand different types of dog behavior. It's been a true passion of mine to take care of dogs. I'm currently free as of now. I have time to house sit just about anytime of the week whether it's a weekend or a weekday at any time scheduled. I have a fenced-in yard that sits around 2 acres which allows bigger or smaller dogs to be able to get their Exercise or space needed to play.
About: Having owned a barn I have experience with all types of pets. I have experience with difficult pet kids. Trained in administering oral, IV & IM meds. My schedule allows me to be available anytime at your place or mine. Boarding, daily walks, just some together time or vet apts. Your companions care is my priority. Your fur babies are treated to long walks and massages. They will be the only pet(s) staying at my place. I care for them as my own.
“Chandrika was incredibly kind and attentive with our little baby, Cheese. From the very beginning, she was responsive, detailed, and organized. She even set up a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a good fit. I truly believe dogs are more perceptive than people, so I pay close attention to how Cheese reacts to others, and she immediately took to Chandrika. During the stay, Chandrika was amazing. She kept us updated with frequent messages and plenty of pictures. Cheese also has a special allergy diet with specific instructions, and Chandrika followed everything to a tee, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Even though Cheese can be shy and a bit fearful when she is away from us, which sometimes affects her willingness to walk, Chandrika still managed to take her out three times. On top of that, she went the extra mile and neatly bagged all of Cheese’s waste before finishing. All in all, it was an outstanding experience. I know it can feel nerve-wracking to choose a sitter when you love your dog so much, but with Chandrika, you can rest easy knowing your pet will receive exceptional care.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pets and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and loved while we were away. Her communication was great, and it truly gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would 100% book her again. Highly recommend!”
“Angelina is delightfuland did a wonderful job staying at my house taking care of my dogs. She stayed in communication, and sent me photos. I will not hesitate to have her petsit again. My dogs and I are super pleased!”
“Kellen exceeded our expectations. She did amazing with our big girls and Mal! She was very attentive to all of their needs. She had great communication and sent us pictures everyday! I would recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs.”
“Marie was fantastic! Very attentive in advanced and ask lots of questions to provide the best care for my dog. She communicated consistently and without me requesting throughout her entire stay with him! I would highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with my pups, and always leaves the home clean and my dogs happy. He is great at responding to messages and following instructions. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have had and taken care of dogs of all age ranges over the years. I used to foster and take in rescues, so I’m used to all types of doggie personalities, sizes and ages. My dogs are like my children, and I will treat yours with the same love and care as my own. I am experienced with smaller and bigger dogs, and am adaptable to whatever their routine and needs may be! I want you to feel comfortable, knowing your babies are being taken care of while you’re at work or away. I usually work Thursday through Saturday, but sometimes that changes. Even if I have something planned on a day off, it’s something I can usually work around a walk or drop in easily. I live in a home where my fur babies have a fenced in area, as well as a free roam area. Im okay walking your pup or letting them out into a fenced area, whichever you prefer. My pups are crate trained so I am happy to make sure yours is safe and secured in theirs before I leave if that’s something that you use for their safety. Each pet is different, so I will look to your instructions for specifics on how to handle your fur baby and make the visit most enjoyable for them.
About: I have been a dog owner for the majority of my life and have provided reliable care to my friends’ pets for about 5 years. I have experience caring for puppies as well as multiple animals at once. I am a student at the University of Florida but I have a mostly open schedule. I’m available all day on weekends, every weekday morning before 10 AM, after 11:30 AM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and after 5 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I plan to maintain a safe environment for any animal, and I will cater the experience to each pet and their individual needs. It is important to me that your pet feels as comfortable as possible, whether that be in your home or mine. I will care for your pet according to your desired schedule to ensure they experience care and consistency even when away from their loving owner.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cross Creek. 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 Creek 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 Creek 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 Creek 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 Creek. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
