About: I have been taking care of dogs since i was 15 and adopted a dog from a shelter with my parents. 3 years ago I brought home a sassy and energetic corgi, and have been training him since he was 8 years old. I have always loved animals no matter how big or small and will give so much love to any animal I see. I currently work full time, so I am available after 4 pm for walks or drop in visits, but I have a pup of my own to tend to at night. On the weekends I am available for overnights, walks, etc. I have a flexible schedule and a loving fiance that is more than able to watch my pup so I can care for yours. My corgi is an only child and loves to keep it that way, so I would be giving your animal their own attention in your own home. Due to having a rambunctious corgi, I am familiar with safety while walking your pet, and will give them all the love and attention in the comfort of their own home.
“Laura again took excellent drop in care for our senior kitty, Sophie. Laura was even able to gain her trust and Sophie welcomed her petting after a couple of visits! Sophie is extremely shy with most people!”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and grew up with dogs. I was fortunate to share 17 wonderful years with my own dog before she passed away. Caring for her throughout every stage of her life gave me valuable firsthand experience, especially in understanding the changing needs of senior dogs. As she aged, I became very attentive to subtle changes in her behavior, mobility, appetite, and overall well-being. I learned to recognize when something wasn’t quite right, whether she was experiencing discomfort, showing signs of distress, or needed veterinary attention. I also have hands-on experience administering medications, including ear drops, and providing the extra patience and gentle care that older dogs often require. What sets me apart is my calm, nurturing personality and natural ability to connect with animals. I’ve often been told I have a special way with them, even those who are shy, anxious, or hesitant around people. I believe trust is earned, never forced, and I allow each animal to build that connection at their own pace. Having loved and cared for a dog for 17 years, I understand that pets are truly family. I bring that same attentiveness, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every pet in my care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, companionship, and boarding. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs and routines while providing loving, attentive care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routines, respect their individual needs, and ensure they feel safe and secure. I treat every animal as if they were my own.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and a previous pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets! My 10 year old golden retriever passed away recently and I am looking for ways to still have a connection to animals without her. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and love spending time outdoors, whether that means going for walks, playing fetch, or exploring new places. I live an active lifestyle and am happy to accommodate pets with different energy levels and personalities. My background in healthcare and emergency services has also taught me to be responsible, attentive, patient, and calm under pressure. I currently work fulltime Mon-Fri. My schedule is flexible and I work from home most of the week. I am able to do drop in visits during the day as well as provide care in the mornings and at night. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I always follow any specific instructions provided by their owner. With my background in healthcare and emergency services, I am comfortable staying calm under pressure and recognizing when something may not be right. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and pictures while your furry family member is in my care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels right at home and that you have peace of mind while you’re away!

“We absolutely love Stina! She takes amazing care of our boys and treats them like her own. It gives us such peace of mind, especially when working overnight shifts, knowing they’re in such good hands. Reliable, kind, and genuinely caring—she makes everything so much easier for us. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring dog lover who treats every pup like my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind! I'm a part-time student who takes morning classes Monday-Thursday. I am typically at home the majority of the day, but if I am ever away I will return home for about an hour to take any guests out during lunch (12-1PM). Weekends, I am mostly free. Drop-off/pick-up can be anytime! My schedule is pretty flexible during weekends so if you need a specific time, I can make it work. I'm very accommodating. Just let me know in advance when you are thinking about booking and I can check my schedule for that day. If you have a busy schedule, I can also pick-up and drop-off for free! Let me know what your fur-baby's routine is like (sleep, eat, play schedule). I hope to make your fur-baby comfortable while you are away. For DROP-INS: I have experience with drop-ins for dogs, cats, and fish! If you would like me to do a short walk during the 30 minute drop-in for your pup, let me know! I typically like to refresh their water, give a treat (if you allow it), and make sure they go potty! For cats, I will make sure their water & food is replenished and will clear out litter boxes! I will also water your plants, bring in your mail/newspapers (if requested). Thanks for considering me! Let’s set up a Meet & Greet! **Holiday Rates will also be applied for Easter, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day weeks/weekends** I’m currently working part time with plenty of time for fuzzy friends! I haven’t found my perfect pet just yet, so I have lots of love to give! I have loads of experience training young and old pups, no matter the service your looking for I would love to incorporate good habits for your pet!

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was five years old. I’ve walked dogs since I was a child. I have had birds, gerbils, lizards, fish, cats, and dogs. My last animal companion was a rescued special needs Jindo dog from LA. I truly love all animals. I work for myself so my schedule is relatively flexible. I am available anytime with enough headway. Have car and can travel to clients. I can spend as much or as little time as your pet requires. I currently have no pets or housemates and a fenced in backyard for dogs. My house is safe and secure and situated in a quiet neighborhood. All furniture is pet friendly and accessible. Plenty of windows for cats to look out from.

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.
“Abby took great care of my cat and was available on very short notice. She arrived reliably on time each visit, handled medication for my cat, and sent reassuring photos while I was away. She has a very good understanding, compassion, and respect for animals. I hope to call on her services again in the near future.”

About: I've always had dogs growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood. I consider them my best friend. My experience in PetCare is from having my own pets and caring for family and friends dogs over the years. Sitting for different types and ages of dogs from puppies to older dogs for 20 years. I'm an educator of children and that carries into my love to being with animals. Fun fact: I also teach Puppies & Yoga in Fitchburg. I love learning and understanding all different types of dog breeds. I enjoy snuggling and lounging with them, being out in nature, taking them on walks and longer hikes. I go above and beyond what is expected of me, sometimes buying them doggie treats or taking them in my car for adventures and sending the owners dog photos. if this is all welcomed. I'm organized, reliable, and tidy. Always leaving a place I visit or stay nice and clean. I’m available to care for your dog(s) on both weekdays and weekends! I’m an early riser and love starting the day with a nice walk, and in the evenings I enjoy longer walks or even hikes for dogs who have a bit more energy. I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s routine and make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make safety a top priority. In clients home, I make sure their dog is kept on a good routine, and their daily needs are met throughout the day. Based on the animal's schedule, I will walk them twice a day, once in the morning and the evening. I will feed them according to their schedule and be sure their water bowl is always full. If any medications are needed, I will follow the guidelines so they are safe and sound. I like to play with the dogs, and snuggle them so they feel nurtured and loved. I love photography so I'll send you pics of your dogs having fun.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was old enough to know what a pet was, whether it’s my own, a neighbor’s, or a friend/family member’s. I love animals, and am considering going into vet work! I have experience with both puppies/kittens and seniors as well :). I can walk, feed, give meds, and do anything you need!

While I can’t offer boarding at my home because I have four roommates, I will care for pets in every way possible no matter what!

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!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cross Plains is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 1,430 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cross Plains. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
