“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”
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!
“Norma was absolutely great! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated. Roxy was super happy and clearly very well cared for! 🐶❤️ Norma also took great care of my house and left everything in wonderful shape. I felt completely comfortable knowing Roxy and my home were in good hands. I will definitely use Norma again and highly recommend her!”
“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 experienced the magic of pets since I was young. My parents' house includes a Shih Tzu, Labrador, and a mixed cat! They behave different but have tons of love that they give us. We love our pets, and I know you love yours, too. I've cared for pets of a variety of ages and sizes. I update clients every day / walk that their pet is in my care. If you need a scheduled sitter in advance or a last minute sitter, just ask! Let's work together. First-time clients get 10% off for the first appointment. I'm responsible and trustworthy. I hold a master's degree and work full-time, but can step away during lunch breaks to feed pets and can go after 5pm. I also love giving daily updates on your pet while you are away! For house sitting, I leave your home the way I find it. I appreciate a clean space in my own home, and I take pride in respecting your home. I enjoy jogging / hiking. I regularly walk my parents' Labrador when I am home; thus, taking your fur baby on a walk is not a challenge for me. I walk often, and will be sure to keep your pets safe! I am aware of snakes and other predators lurking in San Antonio's trails and have training in snake bite care. I haven't had to use it, yet, but it is good info to know! I can walk your dog anytime after 5pm, Mondays - Fridays. I am usually flexible with my time on weekends if given advanced notice. I do not walk pets in extreme heat (outside temperature of 90 or more, unless there is ample shade in your neighborhood), as I prioritize their safety/wellness and do not want to burn their paws.
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!
“She is amazing! Kept me updated throughout my business trip.....my dog doesnt just warm up to anyone but she did a great job in making him feel safe and ultimately gain his trust....new dog sitter moving forward!!!”
“Tanya has been awesome from the start. She responded almost immediately to our initial request, promptly set up and had a meet and greet, and through the stay kept us informed. And most importantly, kept our 95 pound pup happy! It's great to be able to be away from home and not have to worry about the pets. We've already booked our next overnight. Thanks, Tanya! We appreciate you!”
“Jean-Paul was an excellent sitter for our two English Bulldogs. He provided lots of pictures and updates, which was great! He’s gone above and beyond to make sure our dogs are loved and cared for while we’re away.”
“Laurie did great with our three dogs. She also cleaned our house after a very rainy week while we were gone. I would recommend her to others for both house and pet sitting.”
“Leah is an absolute gem! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away in Puerto Rico. We didn’t worry for a second, knowing our dogs were in such loving and capable hands. Whiskey and Rye adore her (which says everything), and to top it all off, we came home to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it! Leah went above and beyond in every way, and we’ll 100% be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a dog and cat lover who would love to give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so I’d love taking your dogs on walks and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! ❤️ I am a nursing student, and so I have time in the day between classes to help you out, as well as evening hours after school. I’m excited to get to meet your pets! I treat each animal like it’s my own! It’s important to me that they feel safe and loved while I’m caring for them. To make sure they are calm and content while you are gone I will do everything I can to make their environment a peaceful place to be.
“It was the first time we had to leave our little guy Draco overnight with anyone other than family so we were super anxious but Keishli was our saving grace! She made us feel comfortable right away at the meet and greet- She's very professional and knowledgeable about the health and safety of animals. We knew Draco would be in great hands. I would recommend Keishli to anyone and everyone. Our little family adores her! ❤️”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cross Mountain is $50 per night as of October 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.

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
