“Magee formed a quick bond with our dog, Clark and made sure he enjoyed the long weekend while we were out of town! She was communicative, proactive, and had great follow up! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ren was an amazing cat sitter for my older cat, who requires daily medications. She was extremely communicative, which made me feel especially comfortable with being away from home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality care.”
“Our two dogs and two cats absolutely loved having her stay during our recent trip out of town. She was very communicative and showed them all lots of love. Will definitely use again!”
“Ms Thea is an amazing pet sitter. Our fur baby really enjoys her time with her. We know our fur baby is in great hands. The best feeling is when we return home and our baby is so happy, gives us the greatest feeling a person can feel. The five stars speak for themselves.”
“Wow! So impressed with Madison! Very happy to have her house sit with my big pup! He is 95+#s, and she did so well with him. All the check-in pictures and videos she sent me made me so happy to see my dog happy and hear how great he was doing. I appreciate Madison for taking on a big pup, still walking him and taking care of him during the snow storm we had. I came home, and my house was in great condition still and my dog seemed so calm and happy. Thank you again Madison, I appreciate you!”
“Kathleen is a gem!! She stayed at our home for 10 nights with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures each morning and asked questions when she had any. Our home was in tip top shape when we returned and all instructions were followed perfectly. And most importantly our doggies were super happy and relaxed. I think they miss her ❤️ We’ll happily use her again!”
“Emma did such a great job! We were so nervous leaving our dogs with someone for the first time and she really put us at ease. She sent pictures and messages of my fur babies and gave me constant updates. Will def be using her again!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about June. I haven’t left my cat, who I consider my baby, alone in over two years. She’s become very attached to me lately so I was a bit anxious with leaving her with anyone. Before committing, I met with June and after a good meeting, my fears were completely gone. I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my Baba. June is a very responsible and caring person. She sent photos my cat daily and I could clearly see that my cat did NOT miss me. LOL. When I returned home, my house was better than when I left. Spotless and she even changed the sheets, washed them and made the bed. An added bonus, she knew exactly when I would be home and had the garage door open so all I had to do was pull in. I couldn’t have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend her to take care of your pet. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Suly took great care of our dog and on many walks. She usually doesn’t eat when we leave but she was so comfortable and happy she was eating and feeling loved. Would highly recommend her!”
“Isabell did such an amazing job watching our two dogs. She was super communicative, proactive and was even nice enough to help us out with an extra morning drop in due to our evening flight being canceled, which delayed us from getting back to our pups in the evening as intended. We truly appreciate how attentive and caring she was, and will definitely book again.”
“Casandra was a total blessing. Our fur baby took a little to warm up like any GSD would but by the end she was hanging out and happy around Casandra. She went above and beyond when a bad storm came through and cared for our fur baby, and also when she ripped up her bed and took care of that too when she didn’t have to. We will definitely ask her to babysit for us again!”
“Torrie was absolutely exceptional in watching our fur babies, and she took good care of our house too. She made sure our girls felt so loved and just like her own. We definitely would like her to sit for us in the future.”
“Janae and her son were absolutely amazing! They came last minute and made Jax feel more comfortable then he has with strangers. Jax really liked her son and that’s rare! I will 100% be booking again! 🩵🩵🩵”
About: Hi! My name is Lex, and I've been pet sitting since I was 19 years old. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet's personality. I've been lucky enough to have some of the same clients for over three years, which means a lot to me because it shows the trust we've built. I've also volunteered working with animals, so I'm comfortable with all kinds of pets, different temperaments, and different care needs. Big dogs, little dogs, cats, senior pets, shy pets, energetic pets—it doesn't matter to me. I honestly love them all! I'm currently in nursing school, so being responsible, patient, and paying attention to the little details comes naturally to me. Right now, I have a flexible schedule and open availability, so I'm happy to work around what you and your pet need. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone else, so I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll treat your pets like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it's something I genuinely enjoy. I'm currently in nursing school, which gives me a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping pets company. I plan my day around the pets I'm caring for to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're already used to because I know that helps them feel the most comfortable. Whether I'm in my home or yours, I'll follow their feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, give them plenty of playtime, walks, or cuddles (depending on what they enjoy), and make sure they get lots of attention. I'm happy to give medications if needed, clean litter boxes, pick up after dogs, and keep everything clean and tidy. I also like to send photo and video updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and as stress-free as possible until you're back home.
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs belonging to my family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and even multiple dogs at the same time. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I always take a calm, patient, and gentle approach to help them feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I also believe pets need a healthy balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable experience. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. As a recent college graduate who still works on campus, caring for my cat is already part of my daily routine. Every day I make sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also spend time making sure she’s happy, comfortable, and getting the care she needs. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to other pets as if they were my own. It would be good to know if there is anything that scares your pets, certain sounds, movements, etc. It would also be nice to know of any commands/training tactics that I should be using while caring for your pet.
“Shannon was amazing. The dogs loved her. She even took care of a major problem with flooding of our house when our whole house filter started to leak. It could have been a big disaster. Shanon kept me up to date with pictures of our dogs. Thanks Shanon, we will use you again next time.”
“First time using Erin and would recommend her again and again and again! From the first minute of the meet and greet, my pups LOVED her and were so comfortable, which can be rare for one of my doggos. She was great with check ins and left the house so clean for my return. The pups miss her already!”
“Kayleigh was awesome with Midnight/Duke! She was very accommodating to their schedule and routine so they can be happy while me and my husband were traveling. We had a cancelled flight on the way back and Kayleigh was able to accommodate quickly as well! Highly recommended and we look forward to the next booking! The dogs love her!”
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”

Ashlee was an amazing sitter for our crew of two dogs and a cat. She was very patient with our skittish lab and very sweet to our clingy chihuahua. She was also very responsive. My husband and I get a little anxious when leaving our animals, but we didn’t worry once we met her.

I’d give her 10 stars if I could.
Kimber was brave to sit my 5 month old high energy puppy and did a great job! She was very responsive to my texts and sent pictures everyday. The house looked great when I arrived home. I would definitely recommend Kimber and hope to use her again as my puppy grows!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Roads
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cross Roads on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,077 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
