“Paula was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and cats during an in-home stay. The pets were happy and well-loved, and the house and cars looked perfect when we got back. Highly recommend!”
“Kelly is absolutely AMAZING! ❤️ I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Not only did she take incredible care of my two senior girls, an a 5 year old, but she also cared for my sweet Jimmy, who has two very serious medical conditions: megaesophagus and laryngeal paralysis. Jimmy requires a LOT of special care. He has to eat sitting upright in a special chair, can't drink water from a bowl on the floor, and can't run around outside like his sisters. Kelly handled ALL of it beautifully! She walked Jimmy on a leash, made sure he was fed exactly the way he needed to be, and gave him all his medications. And on top of that, she made sure my three girls were well cared for and received their medications, too! Anyone who knows Jimmy knows how much attention and care he requires, so trusting someone else with him is a BIG deal for us. Kelly gave me something priceless: peace of mind knowing all four of my babies were in wonderful hands. I truly cannot express how grateful I am. Kelly, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such amazing care of my babies! You're a blessing, and I would recommend you a thousand times over! ❤️🐾 See you again in November!!!!”
“Gabriella has been wonderful since the start and continues to impress us with every subsequent sitting! She treats our dogs and home as if they are her own, and somehow manages to wear out and win over both the most high energy and most unimpressed of our dogs. Our oldest has shown her his playful side and our youngest is willing to slow down and cuddle on the sofa with her - both huge feats! I can't say enough good things about our experience with Gabriella. She sends us pictures and seems to genuinely enjoy her time with our pups, and it just makes our trips more enjoyable knowing our dogs are so happy and taken care of so well!”
About: I love going on walks and hikes with dogs. My dog is a senior dog now at 12 years old and has hip issues. She doesn’t get to do that anymore. I know how much dogs love to walk. I recently retired a few months ago, so my schedule is pretty flexible to meet the needs of the clients. I have to be busy. I have a fenced in yard myself but I go out with my own dog. I will go out with your dog as well to ensure safety.
About: I a d o r e & l o v e animals 🥰. I can come to you, if needed. Available 24/7. Any time of day. Full time, Part time. I can offer walks, treats, playtime, stretches, etc. I’ll be able to spend as much time needed with pets as possible. I love nature as well, please let me know if you’re okay with me taking your pet(s) to the Lake/Park with me. ☺️ I have a completely open schedule. I’m always available & ready to pet sit for you. I’m always willing to make time for new furry friends when needed! 🙃 I have a cat & she stays indoors. From time to time, she’ll want to go outside & I’ll let her out but not too much because of fleas outside & other strays in the neighborhood. I love my cat too much to see her hurt.
“Cassandra did a terrific job with our "old lady" elderly cat! Her communication was great, she did a meet and greet ahead of our trip, and Polly was happy and did so much better with someone here at the house instead of drop-ins. Our house was spotless when we arrived home. We have already booked her again for future stays!”
About: I've lived with pets my entire life, so I understand the importance of caring for your furry friends. I currently care for three cats of my own, and look after my mother's dog when she leaves the house. I plan my own schedule through a delivery job, so I am available at most times to care for your pets! Excluding Sunday evenings and Monday mornings, I am readily available to help. I have a large fenced-in yard for dogs to run and play. My mother's dog lives at my house, so I can either keep them separated or let them play together depending on your dog's preferences! I can also crate your dog inside. I keep a baby gate at my master bedroom door so that dogs cannot access my three cats and no one gets hurt!
About: It is important to me to build strong trust with clients who need a caring and reliable petsitter. As a pet owner myself I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet alone with someone, and I aim to prove that it is ok if you find the right person! My schedule is very flexible currently so I can definitely work with you to find time to care for your pet! If I am given enough headsup in advance I can do early mornings to evenings depending on the task required. I can do majority of tasks required for caring for pets such as feeding, taking out to use the bathroom, providing medications, or just providing company!
About: I grew up with 2 cats and 2 dogs. I have since adopted 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own! Providing love and care for fur babies is my top priority! I work full time as a teacher, but am available for afternoon and evening walks and visits during the week. On weekend I have open availability! I have a fenced yard for my 2 dogs to run and play safely. My cats lives a lavish life with their 4 tiered cat tree. Our dogs and cats have a special diet of the best natural ingredients for their individual health needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I have one puppy and she is working on becoming service dog who will love more friends to play with I work part time as a delivery driver. I will have plenty of time to walk and spend time with your babies including taking them to the park and baths. I will watch your babies in my house which I prefer because I have two small child. One who needs to have a schedule and does not do well with random people.
“Will definitely be calling Adria again. My babies loved here. They woke up Sunday morning and went straight to her room looking for her. House was kept clean and my fur babies were well taken care of.What more can you ask for.”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and family members’ pets my whole life. When I walk into a room or see pet owners on the street I greet the dogs first! My friends and family often get jealous because their dogs will want to be near me or sleep in my bed when I’m around. My favorite past time is taking my pooches to the dog park to make new friends and out on walks and hikes in the woods. I love giving animals full love and attention because they really are the best of us and ask so little in return for their unconditional love. I create my own schedule, piecing together my different offerings, so I can give your babies the love and attention they deserve when they need it. I’ll make sure your pets are fed and let out when they need it. I’m very attentive to animals cues and respond accordingly. Beyond the basics of feeding, walking and potty breaks I’ll give your pets the individual love and attention they need.
“Isaac did a great job taking care of our pup and home while we were gone. It was clear Elena was well taken care of, he was very responsive and easy to work with as well. I would highly recommend Isaac and plan to reach out for future sitting needs as well.”
“Kaitlyn was great watching our dogs and home over the holidays. They were well taken care of. Kaitlyn gave us tons of updates every day and pictures. I highly recommend and will be booking again in the future.”
“We cannot recommend Riley and Victoria enough! They watched our two dogs for an entire week, and from the moment we left, we knew our babies were in the best hands. They checked in frequently with updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear how much they genuinely care for animals, and our dogs were happy, comfortable, and loved the entire time. Coming home, we were amazed to find the house absolutely spotless, everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it (if not better!). Finding people you can fully trust with your pets is rare, and we can honestly say we wouldn’t trust our babies with anyone else. Riley and Victoria went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for the incredible care they provided.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cross Plains is $27 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 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 Plains 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 Plains 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 Plains 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.
