About: Being a country girl, I have pet sit anything from dogs to indoor pot belly pigs to even donkeys. I've had dogs my entire life (4 of my own currently) and love to make your worry less while away. I love to send pictures and videos so you can see first hand how much love they are receiving when you are away. If you have animals besides cats and dogs, I would love to help with them as well. I pet sit full time so I can almost always move my schedule around to accommodate except the time line that I need to get in the school line for my kids. I only pet sit in your home as I have 5 very spoiled dogs on my own. I do bring my 5 old and 10 year old with me if I can to help play ball and show your pups (or fellow animals as much affection as they need while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cross Timber
We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! They took excellent care of our two dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was great throughout the stay, with regular updates and photos that showed our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear that our dogs received plenty of attention, love, and exercise. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean environment, which we truly appreciated. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, and we look forward to booking with them again in the future!

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 Timber 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 Timber 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Timber 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!

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 .
