“Isabel was absolutely incredible. She stayed overnight at our home and took amazing care of our dogs, cat, and even our bunny. Her communication was outstanding — frequent updates, photos, and quick responses that made us feel completely at ease. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. Truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever had.”
“Dora is wonderful and very loving to our furry babies!! I don’t worry about anything when we are out of town and our girls just love her!! We will be booking with Dora again and again!”
“She went above and beyond. Was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures for peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals!!! We will be using her again”
“Rylee exceeded all expectations, and we are lucky to have found her. She is communicative, engaging, responsible, and most importantly, caring. She sat our furry family and home for nearly two weeks, regularly sending updates and photos while we were out of the country. We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a sitter for pet and/or home. She will be our choice for the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“First time meeting Aaliyah and right away felt comfortable leaving my pets with her. Got regular updates and she followed every one of my instructions. Thank you!!”
“Ella did a great job with our animals on a short notice booking. She was very helpful and communicative while we were away. Our dogs were very happy and well taken care of during our time away.”
“Daniela is the best. Lots of walks and plenty of snuggles. I’m pretty sure Wrigley liked her more than he does us. The neighbors even commented on how polite she was when Wrigley did his business in their yard on accident and offered to clean it up. We got a good laugh out of it. I hope she is available next time.”
“We have had multiple sitters and Reily is truly the best. She is professional, thoughtful, communicates, and is respectful of our space and home. She will be our go-to from now on!”
“This was my first time in about 3 years of having to leave Xena alone with a sitter, I'm not sure who was more anxious, me or the dog. After the meet and greet with Leah, I knew that her and Xena would be friends. Leah was great at keeping my nerves at bay by providing updates and sending pictures. Xena was genuinely excited to have Leah watch her and that makes me happy. I could not recommend Leah enough - she was fantastic.”
“Jean-Paul did an excellent job again with our two English Bulldogs. They really love when he stays with them and they can be picky about humans! He communicated with us very well throughout the week and sent lots of pictures, which was great.”
“Diego did a fantastic job house sitting for us. Not only was he able to step in last minute, but he also handled the job with confidence and poise. We have 5 large dogs that can be a little on the wild side at times... he had no problem handling this. It was a relief to have found him in time. Feeling super lucky to have had him!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Soleil! She stayed overnight with our two dogs while we were out of town, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing the girls were happy and well cared for. Soleil was responsible, attentive, and clearly made our dogs feel comfortable in their own home. We came home to two happy pups and everything exactly as we left it. Most importantly, we felt like we could completely trust her with both our dogs and our home. We would absolutely recommend Soleil and will definitely be using her again. Farrah and Margie already have their sitter! 🐾❤️”
“Dani is amazing! We are so thankful for her. She did a great job pet sitting Oreo on very short noticed. Oreo is recovering from being spayed and couldn’t go to the pet resort we normally have her at during the week. She did a great job making sure Oreo was comfortable and didn’t over-excite herself.”
About: I have 3+ Years of Dog Experience & Hands-On Experience with Canine Healthcare. I’m a pre-med student with over three years of experience caring for dogs and a genuine passion for their health and well-being. As a proud weenie dog parent, I’ve personally navigated my own puppy’s medical challenges alongside him, including trips to the Texas A&M Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital to help find solutions and get him the care he needed. These experiences have deepened my love for animals and strengthened my passion for canine healthcare. Your pup will always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!❤️ Here’s a polished version for your Rover profile: I work at a neurology clinic only two days a week and have plenty of availability for your pets! I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends, as well as Tuesdays and Thursdays after 6 PM. I’m also available for 24/7 potty breaks and care on my available days, excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your pup will be staying in a safe, loving, and welcoming home with my friendly 6-month-old Dachshund, who is well-socialized with other dogs and regularly enjoys trips to the dog park!
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I often volunteer with CAMO Rescue, where I’ve gained valuable experience caring for and spending time with different dogs. I also have three dogs of my own at home, both big and small, so I understand that every dog has their own unique needs and personality. I enjoy staying active, and taking your dog on a walk makes my day even better! I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and attention that I give my own. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance my classes while still providing plenty of time and attention for your furry friends. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether it’s going on walks, spending quality time with pets, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. A big bonus is that I get to spend more time with animals, which is something I truly love! In my own home, I make sure my dogs have a consistent routine and receive the care and attention they need every day. I feed my doggies twice a day, carefully measuring out each bowl to make sure they are getting the right amount of food. I also make sure they get daily exercise by taking them on walks and giving them plenty of playtime and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would follow their established routine closely to help their pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Will was very attentive to Penny. Checked in on her, fed her at same time everyday and stayed overnight with her. When I came back on Sunday, she was very content, and not stressed at all. I will use Will again.”

Bryanna was great with George! She followed all directions without issue and sent many pics. Always keeping me updated on how she was doing. Arrived early and was flexible when I needed a little extra time. I will use her again if I have to come back to San Antonio! Really great job.
Sarah watched my 4 fur baby’s this past week. I had to extend my arrival time and she was so flexible. Both she and Baylee (another Rover caretaker) made sure my fur baby’s weren’t alone the last few hours. As always, thank you Sarah and Baylee. Btw, I’ve used Baylee as a backup caretaker to Sarah and she’s great!
Michaela(Kiana) was so sweet and took extra special care of my babies throughout the Fourth of July week. She was super attentive to all of their needs and kept me updated with photos! She even went above and beyond to help keep my plants watered and was careful during fireworks to be sure they were all okay. Would definitely recommend and I will be using here again :)
Thomas took care of my dogs, Mic, Nana, and Chabella for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was always on time, responsible, and very attentive. He asked thoughtful questions to really understand their routines and needs, which showed how much he genuinely cared. What truly stood out was how above and beyond he went—he also helped with cleaning, and his mom came every day to assist him with the dogs. That level of support, care, and dedication meant so much to me. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved him. That says everything. Knowing they were happy and comfortable made it so much easier for me to relax. I felt completely at ease leaving them in his care, and I would 100% trust him again. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly great with animals.
Fantastic!!!!! Lola was soooo happy with her care, as was I. I felt comfortable that Lola was in great hands. She got lots of play and cuddle time. My instructions were followed to the letter. The house was well cared for as well. I was so impressed with the courtesy and professionalism, as well as the level of caring. And it was so nice to come home to a clean house and a happy pup! I will definitely rebook 😄🐕❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Mountain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cross Mountain on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,733 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cross Mountain. 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 Mountain 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 Mountain 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 Mountain 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 Mountain. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
