“Denver is a responsible pet caregiver. He was prompt every morning and evening. He kept me up to date on Maizey’s visits. If he is not sure of something he is not afraid to message you for clarification. He took good care of my furbaby and I would definitely use him again.”
“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Very responsive to the communication as well as keeping me up to date on daily visits. Also, felt assured the dogs were being taken care of by someone that is dedicated to pet care!”
“Kelly was great with our little hound dog. She even took it upon herself to make sure he had music to listen to so didn’t feel lonely while we were gone. He enjoyed all the walks that he took with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Carley was amazing taking care of our pups! She was prompt and kept us updated on everything and we really appreciate her. We’d recommend Carley to everyone. Will definitely be using her services again!!!”

I have a two year old labradoodle, and a one year old toddler that will keep your puppers tail waggin all day! Rather it be playing fetch, going on walks, or cuddles on the couch, your pup will be well loved and well taken care of!
“Patricia took very good care of our older cat while we were away for a week. She was great at communicating and sent us an update and pictures after each visit. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter!”
About: Hello! I would love to take care of your dog while you are away! We now have a sweet cavapoo so your dog needs to be friendly to other dogs.

I can take your dog for walks or they can stay home, whatever you prefer. Your dog will be treated like family in my home. My family always had small dogs so I will only house sit little guys that are good and gentle to children and our puppy. We have had experience with senior dogs and dogs that required medication. I will just need detailed instructions on how to better care for them. I look forward meeting you and your sweet little pet. We are usually home all the time. My husband works from home, so someone will be with your dog at all times except rare exceptions. We have a fenced yard and your dog will always be supervised. We also put gates on the front porch when a dog is visiting to avoid runaways. We have a friendly small Cavapoo so your dogs needs to get along with other dogs.

Balancing school at Volstate and work, I make sure to set aside regular time each day and week for pet care. I prioritize feeding, playtime, and cleaning, fitting these tasks into my routine so pets get consistent attention and care even with a busy schedule. I provide loving care by feeding, playing, cleaning litter boxes, and giving medications if needed, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I have had the amazing opportunity to run and operate an animal rescue for 5 straight years. During which time we tended to each and every need including medical needs. I am home all day long. I can focus on playing with your animal for hours, making sure your animal always has eyes on them for their safety. During an animals stay or visiting the clients home. I like to make sure that the animal is well cared for by strict eating schedules as well as bathroom breaks. Let’s not forget about play time.
About: Hello! My name is Brooke, and I have over 10 years of experience providing loving, reliable care for animals through pet and farm sitting. I have also worked as a horse trainer and lesson instructor, which has given me extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with a variety of needs. I have experience administering medications, providing extra care for younger and senior pets, and following specific routines and care instructions to make sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently have a Quarter Horse and a Border Collie of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I would love the opportunity to provide your fur baby with plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you're away!
“Brittany was great with our pup! We had never used the drop-in service so we didn't quite know what to expect, but she made it so easy! The communication was great and our pup was well cared for. Would definitely use her again!”

I follow routines, communicate clearly, and make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and understood. Your dog’s comfort is my priority, and you’ll always know how they’re doing while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to accommodate most requests. I work in hospitality, so I’m used to managing time, staying organized, and being available when people need me. I’m typically free for drop‑ins, walks, and sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. If you need early morning care, late night check‑ins, or a specific routine for your dog, I’m happy to work around that. Just let me know what your pup is used to, and I’ll match their schedule so they stay comfortable and consistent. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I’m detail oriented, calm under pressure, and I follow instructions exactly as they’re given. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, comfort level, and any special needs so they always feel secure and supported. I never take risks with pets leashes stay on during walks, doors and gates are double checked, and I keep a close eye on behavior and energy levels. I’m also mindful of your home and privacy, treating your space with the same respect I give to your dog. You can expect clear communication, honest updates, and full transparency. My goal is for you to feel completely confident that your dog is safe, cared for, and in good hands every moment they’re with me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cross Plains
Rachel did a fantastic job with our two dogs! Her drop-in visits were the perfect way to break up their day, and she went above and beyond by playing with them, making sure they had fresh water and treats, and even working on some training. Knowing the dogs were genuinely enjoying her visits gave us total peace of mind and made being away on our trip so much easier. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. We will definitely use Rachel again in the future!
Rachel took such great care of our three fur babies - kitty cats Lily, Tempo, and Bobcat (2 girls and a boy). She gave us priceless peace of mind while we were away for 5 nights. She took care of food, litter, little details like opening and closing curtains and had time to play with each of them. Thank you, Rachel! We cannot thank you enough! - Christine and Tom

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cross Plains is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $24 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 3,619 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cross Plains. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
