“Alexis was a good sitter who took great care of our dogs and home while we were away. We are very appreciative that she was willing to drive an hour to come here. Would definitely choose her again!”

About: I gained hands‑on experience working in an animal shelter, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I helped with feeding, enrichment, cleaning, socializing, and giving nervous or shy animals the patience and comfort they needed to feel safe. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust quickly, and provide calm, reliable care to every pet I meet. I work a steady 9–4 schedule, which still gives me plenty of time for morning, evening, and weekend pet care. I’m available before work for quick check‑ins, after 4pm for walks, drop‑ins, and playtime, and fully open on weekends for boarding or longer visits. I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and a routine that keeps them comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow each owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, crate training, and any special instructions. I keep a clean space, monitor pets closely during play, and make sure they always have fresh water, enrichment, and a comfortable place to rest. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well‑being always come first.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a multi-pet household with both dogs and cats, including an energetic Bengal. I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, feeding routines, litter care, dog walking, picky eaters, and multi-pet homes. I’m patient with pets that need time to warm up and I pay close attention to each owner’s instructions and normal routine. What sets me apart is my communication, reliability, and the effort I put into making pets feel comfortable while keeping owners updated with photos and detailed check-ins. I’m currently between seasonal jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, daytime, evening, and weekend visits and am happy to work with each owner’s routine whenever possible. My availability may vary slightly over the next few months due to some planned travel, but I keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly about availability. When I accept a booking, I make it a priority to be dependable and follow the agreed-upon schedule. I currently provide care in my clients’ homes rather than boarding pets in my own home. I know how important it is to respect both your pet’s routine and your home while you’re away. I follow feeding, walking, medication, litter, crate, and other care instructions closely and pay attention to each pet’s individual personality and comfort level. Before a first booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, behavior, leash habits, escape tendencies, triggers, medical needs, and anything else that will help me care for them safely. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, crates, and home access, and I never force interaction with a pet that needs time to warm up. I’ll also provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pets and home are being well cared for.

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 Lanes 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 Lanes 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 Lanes 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.
