“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.”
“Hannah is the best! My dog unexpectedly got a bad hot spot while we were out of town, and Hannah went above and beyond to take excellent care of him. Very communicative and attentive. 10/10 :)”
“Kayleigh was absolutely amazing to work with! She was timely, attentive & communicative. We were so at ease with her staying at our home with our pups while we were out of town. She shared daily photos and updates & was always quick to respond to any messages. She was so respectful of our home and took care of sheets, dishes and more before leaving! You could also tell the dogs were very comfortable and cuddly with her which speaks volumes. I will definitely be using Kayleigh again! We can’t thank her enough.”
“Dasia was great with my two dogs. She stayed and watched them for a few days while I was away on a trip. She gave frequent updates, and the dogs were happy and healthy. Definitely recommend, and will be booking again for my next trip.”
“Shannon was great! She kept me updated with my babies, sending me pictures everyday! House was just as we left it! Definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs! Thank you, Shannon!”
“Trinity took excellent care of Quigley. I had him at the vet the day before I left but she made me feel comfortable, leaving him! She played with him, both inside & out! When one of his toys ended up on the roof over the patio, she went above & beyond, having her parents bring a ladder over & retrieve it! I would never expect that but it was, definitely, appreciated. Trinity is so sweet & personable. I will be requesting her services again!”
“Our dogs felt so comfortable with Nikki right away! She has a calming presence and took wonderful care of our two dogs. Nikki communicated very well and was proactive. She went above and beyond my expectations! Our dogs had a great week with her :)”
“Alissa was very conscientious and took great care of our two very large dogs, sending us pictures and updates regularly via text. She also watered some plants, collected mail, etc. We are looking forward to booking her in the future.”
“Raymond took incredibly good care of our dogs and house! He kept us well informed during our time away and sent pictures of our dogs to let us know they were doing okay! Would definitely book again in the future!”
“Hannah was amazing. This was our first time leaving for an extended period of time, and our first time using Rover. Hannan was on top of everything and made sure we got constant updates. She will be our first choice from now on!”
About: I have been taking care of little dogs since I was 12. I have a big dog now my self and have trained him and have enjoyed it I just recently moved to the area. I’m available any day of the week! once I am ready for the day, your pups/ kitties will be my first stop of the day! I will always make sure to continue the routine given by the clients. I am very punctual with time and dislike being late. I will go on walks near the house/apartments
About: As I grew up, my first pet was more than just a pet for me. He has been there throughout my childhood and losing him made me a whole different person. That is until my husband gifted me my shih tzu. He has been my dream for over 15 years and I treat him as my first born and nothing less. I made my husband buy a Tesla just so that our dog can travel with us and stay in car in comfort. What else must I say to express my love and gratitude towards a mans best friend. My daily routine is pet care itself. I wake up at 6 in the morning to take my dog out for his walk. Then I give him his breakfast after which I start my duties as a housewife. Throughout the day, I take my dog out for walk three more times depending on the climate, and since he is a shih tzu and a picky eater, I have to feed him like a baby. I brush him every day to ensure that he looks his best. In my home, for any pet that my friends, neighbors or colleagues as ne to take care of, I ensure that the pet is not hungry, not thirsty, not bored and if possible not to think of the parents. This way, the pet always feels happy to come back to me.,
“Anna is a great pet sitter. She's very responsive and attentive, does timely walks and meals, and is great at following instructions for specific pet care. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: I have been around all types of animals since the age of 4. I have been trusted by neighbors, friends and family to bathe, feed, administer medications, walk and play with their dogs and cats. I am responsible and understand that your pet is a member of your family, not just an accessory. I will love and respect your pet as well as your home. I am an artist and enjoy keeping my schedule flexible. I am awake by 6am most days and in bed by 10. I can fit the right family in on either a consistent or one-time basis. Currently, I am not able to keep pets in my home but I am happy to visit your home or house sit if you prefer.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cross Roads is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cross Roads
I could not say enough positive things about my experience with Brianna. From the time we met on our meet up with my pets she was courteous and respectful. My Taby cat immediately fell in love with her and my shy schnauzer came out of hiding a lot sooner than most stranger encounters. She sent lots of updates and made leaving home and pets a lot more easier. Will definitely book again
We had a wonderful experience with Ashlee! She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive throughout her stay. She took great care of both our dog and cat and made sure all of their needs were met. She also took great care of our home and kept us updated with regular pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for house. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her sit for us again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Cross Roads is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $50 per night. 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.

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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cross Roads. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
