“Jen helped us out last minute and watched our dog who has separation anxiety. I had never left my dog with a sitter before but I could tell before I left that my dog was comfortable with her. It’s very obvious Jen is an animal lover. She did a fantastic job with my dog and I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Juliana and Caleb were fantastic! They accommodated our last-minute request without hesitation and took wonderful care of our pup who was recovering from knee surgery. They communicated with us throughout, which gave us such peace of mind during a stressful time. Our dogs clearly adore them, and we couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“Louis was great with our high energy Labs he sat with for the week.They were always happy in the pictures he sent . House and yard were just as we left it. Thanks Louis for a amazing job!”
About: I grew up on a small farm. I currently have four cats and I am experienced in taking care of litter pans, feeding and providing love to cats. I currently also have two dogs. I love spending time with animals and I love walking so this new adventure seems like a great fit for my lifestyle. I currently work part time as a Dental Hygienist so I am available to be there for your pets needs. I am experienced to do this because I have 4 cats and two dogs that mean everything to me! I am a very trustworthy and detail oriented. I take pride in having a strong work ethic. I treat animals with the utmost respect and kindness realizing that each pet has a unique personality just like humans.
“Beauty took care of my Mille beautifully! My Mille has anxiety when we travel but Beauty was comforting and integrated her into the pack seamlessly. We will definitely be booking another stay when we travel again.”
“We booked Katie to stay with our girl for our 9 day vacation June 18th. She was great, gave us updates everyday with pictures. She responses very quickly . She made us feel very comfortable being away. I would highly recommend her. Katie is the best!”
“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”
About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.
“Billie just watched my dog for two days and again I am blown away with her service. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy active and attended to. Absolutely the best so happy to work with her.”
“Treanne sat overnight for our 15 year old dog, Fox between June 30th - July 5th. I was so happy with our experience- she was so attentive to our guy especially with his age and neighbors shooting fireworks over the 4th. She sent daily pictures and updates with him. I had a peace of mind while being away. If we go away again, I would not hesitate to book Treanne again.”

“Tabby was an exceptional house/dog sitter who accepted a last minute request for Thanksgiving week. I was thankful the previous dog sitter cancelled b/c I am so fortunate to find her. She would send daily updates, ask thoughtful questions and so many other little things that really added up (collecting mail, keeping up with my Xmas countdown, making the bed to it looked like a hotel bed, leaving the house looking as if no one was there at all). See? She was all around the perfect dog sitter. On top of all of that I felt so comfortable with her. She has a way of making you feel like you’ve known her a lot longer than you have. It was refreshing to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away for Thanksgiving. I can’t say enough good things about her! 10/10 recommend and will absolutely book with her again.”

Brent was absolutely amazing with our large crew. He came for a Meet & Greet to meet our dogs and the cats who decided to join, and everyone was very excited to see him when he came for his stay. We came home to some very excited dogs and clean house, and had no worries while we were away. Thank you so much, Brent!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Roads
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 2,362 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cross Roads. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Roads 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 Roads 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 Roads 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
