“Bella is absolutely wonderful! My dog and I are so very grateful for her! She always makes sure that King has his daily dose of snuggles and feels loved while I’m gone. She’s always communicative, reliable, and responsible. It’s such a relief to have someone that I can trust to stay in my home with King while I’m away and know that he’s happy and well cared for.”


“Kerstin was precious. I had never left my pets with anyone other than family so I was incredibly nervous. Kerstin just put us at ease. The pets loved her. She was very respectful of our home and treated the pets with such kindness. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Christine was so nice to come to my house last minute early in the morning when my boyfriend had to go to work suddenly and couldn’t watch my dog which my doodle while I was on vacation for my birthday. She was patient with him provided fast response. I’ll forever use her services”

“Alex is amazing with animals and was great with my dog daisy. I have a 2-year old mountain feist that still has a lot of energy and Alex was able to give her the exercise and attention that she needed while I was away.”

“Jadyn was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our pets while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we got home how comfortable and happy they were. She also took great care of our house and even left us kind compliments about our home, which was very sweet. Communication was great throughout, and we came back to a happy household and a well-kept home. We'd absolutely book Jadyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive pet sitter!”

“Aubrey was fantastic caring for our two pups and watching the house. They were in very good hands and we were excited to have someone stay with them who shares the love of pets and people. Highly recommended.”
“Mark saved our vacation. When we booked several months in advance we did not expect to have a new puppy. And this puppy is already too big for a plane ride. I found Rover.com on google and looked for sitter that would not take all my vacation money. I was happy to find Mark, he was affordable and stayed at the house so my pup would not be lonely. My house was just as I left it and my puppy grew twice his size in 8 days. Mark sent us pictures everyday. Mark took on a big job watching a puppy with all the puppy bad habits and I really appreciated a break from them myself. Thank you Mark for saving our vacation and the peace of mind it came with.”

“Lee was absolutely phenomenal. I have two very nervous dogs and he put them both at ease immediately. He kept my home clean and tidy during his stay and my dogs were very well cared for. I’d give Lee 10 stars if I could”


“Jamie really liked Kimberly from our initial meet and great visit. He was well cared for, Kimberly worked during the day, which quite a distance from my home but still came back every day to spend her lunchtime with him, to get him out and play. Jamie wasn’t feeling well one day and immediately contacted me. She stayed with him and worked from home that day to be with him. Kimberly communicated and sent pictures every day. We found a winner, and I will definitely call upon her again whenever I have to leave my precious boy, who is my world.”


About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I take pride in my ability to communicate and treat other people as well as animals with mutual respect. ✝️💪🏼 I am currently a full time student for nursing. I have class Monday-Friday but should be available later in the afternoon/evening. We will just have to communicate which is fine. I also go to the gym and to church on Sundays ✝️💪🏼. I have pets that are indoor and I let them out to play outside in a fenced in back yard. I also walk my pets to help them with their health and mine as well as getting rid of some built up energy that they may have.
About: I’ve been around dogs if all sizes my whole life. I currently have two of my own, one being a puppy. I worked this past summer at a dog groomer/ boarder and it was a wonderful experience. I like to think that I am good with all kinds of animals except any kind of creepy crawly. I am currently in high school but I do nothing outside of that. My weekends are completely free and so are my afternoons unless I have some sort of homework which is rarely. I won’t be doing at home services but if I did, I have a big yard with a smaller portion fenced in. I have a Great Dane puppy who is skittish at first around other dogs but never aggressive and eventually warms up. I also have a 4 year old chiweenie who absolutely loves other dogs. I also have a pet pig!
About: I have had a jack terrier mix for 6+ months in a shared home experience. So much energetic fun. Home Care for people and pets. Currently I am in-between work so I have plenty of time to fit your pet sitting needs. I am available to accommodate your travel needs. I have a nine year old daughter who loves animals. We will take them out as often as needed. They'll be lots of play time.

I make it a priority to maintain each ones normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions from the owner. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to help parents feel comfortable and connected while they are away.

My home is well maintained and regularly cleaned. We have a large patio and play yard. We might have multiple dogs at a time therefore we ask that your dog/s are fully vaccinated.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Keys
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 351 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cross Keys. 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 Keys 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 Keys 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 Cross Keys 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.
