“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.”
“Isabel was the best watching our pups! She was very communicative and loved in our babies while we were away. It was our first time using someone we didn’t know and the dogs loved her. She handled all instructions to a T and we came back to happy pups 😊”
“Ally was wonderful with all our animals. From introductions, to planning, to booking, all the way up until we got back from our vacation: Ally was such a joy. We got lots of pics of our babies while we were away and never had to worry for a second. We knew they were being loved & cared for! We would use Ally again in a heartbeat!!”
“Jenn was great. She took great care of our dog bourbon and our home while we were away for a couple of days. She was easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your home in your pets.”
About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was 5 years old, so caring for dogs has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family members countless times, giving me experience caring for dogs outside my own home. I genuinely love being around dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, feeding, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. You can count on me to make sure your dog gets plenty of love while you’re gone! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of free time and flexibility to care for your dog! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting! I can work with your schedule to make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and love. I’m happy to communicate with you about your dog’s needs and provide updates so you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands! My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Having owned dogs since I was 5, I understand the importance of following routines and paying attention to each dog’s needs. I’ll follow your instructions, keep you updated, and treat your pup like family!
“If I could give 10+ stars for Maya, I would! ❤️ Maya was communicative the entire week we were gone with pics, updates, etc. She is an excellent dog/house sitter and truly loves dogs. Every picture she sent, our Sadie Mae was happy and smiling! Would 100% recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I love helping my friends and family with their pets! I’m reliable and responsible when it comes to pet care. I strive to be kind and gentle with all animals :) I work mostly full time 9:00am until about 3:00pm Monday-Friday. I’m free most weekends! Prefer to stay at home and happy to do drop ins. My sweet kitty, Nova, loves all the cuddles and playing with her toys or, of course, random objects. I clean her litter box daily & her automatic feeder keeps her feeding schedule on time and reliable as well as her gravity water feeder. Sweeping litter and keeping her food area clean is a must!
“Ellie was professional and kind to our animals. We appreciated her communications and attention to our animals' care. Thanks for making our travel easier, by letting us leave knowing our pets are well cared for!”
“Alexis is wonderful! Great communicator and makes sure you and your dogs feel comfortable. She took great care of my dogs when I was away and made sure I had pictures every day. Would definitely hire her again and my dogs loved her!!”
About: I begged my parents for a dog since I could talk. When they finally allowed me to adopt one when I was 10, she instantly became the love of my life. Two years ago, I adopted my first puppy in my adult life. He has taught me so much as a pet owner. I love meeting new dogs because every one has an unique and special personality. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs alike and cannot wait to meet your fur baby! I currently work as a swim coach and have pretty flexible hours during the morning , mid day, and early afternoon. My nights are completely free. I love going on long walks and exploring new areas. I guarantee your pup will get a great workout and come back exhausted from our adventures. Along with this, I maintain an attentive attitude within the house and am always giving my pups attention even when completing other tasks. I love playing fetch and tug-of-war!!
“We recently had the pleasure of having Sam watch our two dogs for nearly an entire week, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and attention he provided. Sam went above and beyond, even rearranging his work schedule to make sure our dogs were well looked after. He maintained their regimented routine, preparing their unique meals twice a day and taking them out for potty breaks and exercise an additional 3-4 times per day. His conscientiousness really showed in everything he did. Sam stayed overnight in our home, ensuring our dogs felt safe, secure, and comfortable in our absence. His communication was excellent—he sent us multiple photo updates throughout each day, which gave us such peace of mind. It was clear from the photos (and when we returned!) that our dogs were happy, calm, and well cared for. Honestly, I don’t think they even realized we were gone! Sam is incredible with animals, and it’s obvious he has a natural connection with dogs. He’s also friendly, respectful, and trustworthy. Knowing he was there allowed us to enjoy a much-needed vacation without any worry. We’re already planning to book Sam again for our next trip! If you’re looking for someone dependable, kind, and dedicated to caring for your pets as if they were his own, we can’t recommend Sam highly enough. Thank you again, Sam!”
“Wonderful! Very attentive to my poodles. Helped to address a food issue when one of mine went on a hunger strike. Very respectful of my home. She stayed for 3 days and 2 nites. Great communication! Love her!!”
“As a first time Rover user, I didn’t know what to expect. Tiffany went out of her way to make our two dogs her own. She put my mind at ease with pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. It makes a difference when someone loves your dogs as much as you do!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where my parents bred dogs, so I have experience caring for puppies as well as small and large breeds. I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, basic training, and giving dogs the attention and care they need at every stage. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very hands-on with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and love. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me 🤍 Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available anytime to give your pet consistent attention, supervision, and love throughout the day and night :) I offer pet care both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with constant supervision since pet sitting is my full time job. I also have a room dedicated fully to pet sitting with toys, cat tree, dog beds, ball pit and lots of treats and enrichment activities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free.
“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.”
“Braydon it’s definitely above and beyond we need him to take care of my dog she is been recently get a surgery and needs special attention! He come on time to stay with her for 4 days and Incan say I feel incredible relax with his stay at home. He also go walk with her many times. Leave my house incredible clean. He mop and vaccum because he wants to! I will recommended him 20 times and he definitely will be our pet sit in the future!! He knows how to do this job!”
About: Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my page! I currently have an energetic black lab & grew up with a Klee Kai Husky so am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I am offering daily dog check ins and walks, and will be accompanied by my (adorable) 5-month old sidekick daughter! We do walks with a stroller. Baby A will not interact with your pet- she's just along for the ride! Can't wait to meet your fur-babies! I was recently laid off from my remote job so now I am a stay at home mom! We have open availability during the week and may be available on weekends depending on our schedule. As I am sure most caregivers say...we really do treat each pet as if they were our own. Dog's are truly man's best friends & we love getting to spend time with your fur-babies!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cross Mountain
Rebekah (BB) is our absolute favorite person on Rover! She has taken care of our 10-year-old Golden Retriever, Belle, many times now, and every time we get back, you can tell that Belle has been exceptionally well cared for. The house is always in pristine condition when we return, too. Sometimes she even leaves a little “surprise” for the kids that they absolutely love. Rebekah is the best—we HIGHLY recommend that you book her as your next Rover sitter!
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.
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Mountain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cross Mountain is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,740 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cross Mountain. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
