“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! Very sweet and attentive to my cat and her needs, and she sent pictures and detailed updates with how my cat was doing at each visit. So appreciative of her!”
About: I have been taking care of animals all my life. Growing up my parents always had dogs and cats. My best-friend growing up was my dog Samantha who just turned 15 is a sweet Belgian Mali. I work at Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation as a cook for the the Early Education Center. I work from 7am-1pm and then I am home with my dog Lyla and I enjoy going out and taking her out on walks/hikes to Fort Harrison and to the nearby parks in Lawrence. I have a fenced in backyard that dogs can run around in any time they would like too. I live on a quiet street just outside of 465.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals including cats and dogs throughout my life. These animals have had varying temperaments and care requirements giving me a range of care experiences. I am a college student who is busy for some part of the morning and afternoon but can drop in about three times a day. In my own home, I have two cats and grew up with two dogs. Frequent walks for the dogs and enrichment for the cats are a staple.
About: Hi! I’m Hanna, a dedicated animal lover offering dependable, affectionate care for your pets. I am a mom to my dog Asuna and two cats, Riya and Ruma. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra playtime and cuddles, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that every animal has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Let’s connect and give your pet the care they deserve! I'm currently working full-time, but have lots of flexibility to keep your dog or cat happy :) I love walks and going to the dog park if that is what your dog likes! I treat my dog and two cats like they run the house, because they truly do. I like to take long walks, short walks, like to play with dogs, and snuggle with cats (or not if they don't like cuddling).
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’m especially patient with puppies (helping reinforce routines and basic training) and gentle with senior pets who may need slower walks or extra care. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care,I don’t just “watch” pets, I spend time with them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone. Feel free to book off rover as well!! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the week. Whether it’s daily visits, drop-ins, or extended stays, I can adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs. I’m committed to being consistent and making sure your pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep everything as normal as possible for the pet—same routines, familiar spaces, and lots of love and attention. I spend quality time with them so they don’t feel alone and make sure all their needs are met. If pets stay in my home, I create a cozy, low-stress environment where they get plenty of care, playtime, and supervision. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy no matter where they are.
About: I am 37 and have worked professionally with dogs for 10 years during my 20s. I began working in a boarding and daycare facility when I was 18. Since that time I have worked for other kennels as I have moved. I received my training certification in 2010 from Animal Behavior College and volunteered extensively at a shelter in Kansas City. I have volunteered with numerous rescue groups providing training and foster homes along with many boarding facilities. I love pet sitting and getting the opportunity to make a animals happy while their parents are away- all the rewards of being the fun aunt :) Experience with pets who have medications/diabetes/special needs. HOUSE SITTING: I work from home, with appointments throughout the day so your pets won't be left alone for long. I am flexible fitting into your pets routines, watering plants, and any other up-keeps that need done while you are away. A majority of the time I work from home while having occasional appointments out of the home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to ensure that your pet gets 1:1 time and gets outside when needed. I like to follow my clients routines so their pet can predict as much as possible. My experience has given me a little bit of the super power to predict the future, which leads to me to taking extra safety steps “just in case”
“We were so fortunate to have Lisa take care of our German Shepherd while we were out of town one day over the Memorial Day weekend. Lisa came to our house ahead of time for a meet/greet, and it was clear she was a dog lover and would take great care of our pup. During her drop in visits, she not only fed our dog, but also administered medication, took him out to play fetch (his favorite game), and spent time cuddling/petting him. We would recommend Lisa to any pet owner and will definitely ask her to watch our pup again! Thank you Lisa!”

“This was the second time Melissa looked after our 2 cats - this time for an extended period. They absolutely adore her and love having her as their sitter. We returned home to calm cats who didn't seem to mind in the least that we had been gone. Melissa is super reliable and always provides great care for our cats and our home, and sends wonderful updates each day. We absolutely recommend her as a sitter and will book again without hesitation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cross Plains
Peyton has cared for our dogs on two separate occasions, and we have been extremely happy with her services both times. She is punctual, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We really appreciate the care and attention she gives our dogs, and it’s reassuring to know they’re in such good hands when we’re away. Peyton provides excellent communication and always follows through on what she says she’ll do. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter!
Peyton did an amazing job caring for Charlie & Lloyd while we were away. She stopped by our home twice, took them out, fed them, and spent time playing with them. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We’re very happy with her service and highly recommend her.

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.
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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
