Caleb was wonderful! He took great care of our dog Sully. He even stopped by the day before to get to know him. Caleb was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible. Sully was so happy that he did zoomies! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. We are looking forward to hiring Caleb again.

Excellent! Morgan was wonderful. She treated our doggy just like he was her own. She stayed in our home and it was cleaner than when we left. Morgan sent updates and photos of Mav every single day. She even left us a beautiful thank you note.

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.

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 grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and have been caring for them for most of my life. Our family raised Rottweilers, and throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals. I currently have two cats and goats of my own. I have experience caring for cats with special dietary needs, medications, anxiety and individual routines. I understand how important consistency can be, especially for animals who are sensitive, anxious, older or have additional care needs. One of my strengths is being very attuned to animals’ body language, behavior and subtle cues. I tend to notice when an animal is comfortable, uncertain, overstimulated or asking for space, and I adjust my approach rather than forcing interaction. Building trust and allowing each animal to connect in their own way is very important to me. I’m also a licensed massage therapist and wellness business owner, so being attentive, gentle and responsive is a big part of what I do professionally. I run a business with a team of approximately 20 people, which means I’m accustomed to responsibility, detailed instructions, established procedures and clear communication. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want them to feel safe, understood and well cared for while their people are away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s established feeding, medication, walking, play and household routines so their experience is as comfortable and familiar as possible. I especially like the phrase “attuned to animals’ body language, behavior and subtle cues.” It captures what you're talking about without sounding woo-woo or making a claim that might turn off a more conventional pet owner. I work primarily remotely, which gives me a lot of flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to schedule walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medications, playtime, and companionship around my workday and your pet’s established routine. Occasionally, I teach continuing education classes for licensed massage therapists, but I know my schedule in advance and only accept bookings when I can provide the time, attention, and consistency your pet needs. I’m organized, dependable, and comfortable planning my day around specific care instructions and schedules. I understand how important consistency and routine can be for animals, especially those with special dietary, medication, behavioral, or anxiety-related needs. I tailor my care to each individual animal because every pet has different needs based on their age, personality, health, activity level, and established routine. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding, medications, special diets, walks, litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and other specific care needs. I live in a farmhouse and have cared for animals throughout my life. We currently have indoor and outdoor cats and goats, and over the years I’ve cared for many different kinds of animals. That experience has made me very aware of both animal safety and their environment. I pay close attention to doors and potential escape routes, food and household items pets could get into, and anything that could pose a safety concern. As a homeowner and business owner, I also understand the trust involved when someone allows me into their home. I’m respectful of your space, attentive to instructions, and happy to communicate and provide updates while you’re away. I’m also a plant lover and understand that many common houseplants can be unsafe for cats and other animals. I’m mindful about keeping pets away from plants, foods, medications, household products, and other things they shouldn’t eat or investigate. Most importantly, I pay attention to each animal’s body language and personality. Whether your pet is young and energetic, a curious troublemaker, shy or anxious, or an older animal who needs a slower pace and extra attention, I adjust my care so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment.

Treanne was fantastic with our 2 pitties - one of whom is not always trusting of people and can be a bit leery of new people in our home. Treanne had no hesitations and you could tell she was comfortable with all breeds of dogs. I felt very confident leaving our pups in her care. We love that we don't have to send them to a strange place when we travel, and she'll stay overnight with them on our home. She went above and beyond, even spending time with our mostly outdoor cat, and sending us updates throughout our trip. We will absolutely call her for future services. 10/10 would recommend!

About: I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible pet sitter and dog walker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, feeding, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! I’m currently a part-time cleaner so I have plenty of time and flexibility in my weekly schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I’m also available most weekends. I care for animals as if they were part of my own family. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and meals according to their normal routine. I also take the time to learn each pet’s individual personality, habits, and needs so I can give them personalized care.

Debra did a great job. She sent lots of videos and pictures. Both pups loved her. It’s always tough to be so far away from our 2 dogs, but we had nothing to worry about. She also came to our house before we left on vacation so we could relax and also staying till our follow up sitter came. So we were very happy with her.

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 September 2026, there are 2,266 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cross Roads. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
