“Tracy was such a great sitter for our multiple pets while we were away. We have a senior dog that was having some issues while we were away and Tracy took incredible care of her and kept us updated with all information without having to ask. She was very patient and kind with our pets and definitely recommend her to others!”
“Morgan was awesome 👏, she stayed with my lab Lucy for a week. She was very responsive, brought her on walks, sent me pics. Got home and house was clean, dishes washed, puppy brushed and sweet smelling. What’s not to like? Yes I will absolutely book her again.”
About: I’m a big dog lover and truly enjoy giving dogs all the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m kind, patient, loving, and reliable, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their individual routines and needs. I’m also very good at communicating and will keep you updated about how your dog is doing, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like family! I work part-time and attend college, but I take time management very seriously and maintain a flexible schedule with plenty of free time. I also care for my own fur baby at home, which has helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and consistency when it comes to pet care. I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I care for every pet with the same love, attention, and responsibility that I give my own fur baby. At home, I take her on walks every morning, make sure she always has fresh water, and give her treats and her favorite peanut butter. My family and I give her plenty of attention, including cuddles, affection, and companionship. She especially loves sunbathing and relaxing in her favorite chair with me! When caring for a client’s pet, I’m very open to learning and following their individual routine, preferences, and needs. I understand that every dog is different, and I want to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while in my care.
“Casey is a 10 Plus. You can’t go wrong here. He goes above and beyond. Walked my dogs even my older dog and I am sure she loved it. He would keep in touch with me send pictures and updates ❤️. My house was spotless when I arrived which was soooooo nice . I am so HAPPY I found him. You can’t go wrong using Casey HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM”
“Hunter did a great job taking care of my dogs. They liked him from the moment he walked in the house, so I felt at ease leaving them in his care. Hunter kept me updated throughout the time with phone calls and texts. And he also cleaned up after them when one had an accident. I was pleased with the service. Highly recommended.”
“Tayler and her daughter were amazing and went above and beyond to make our 4 fur babies loved and took really good care of them. All four have different personalities😅😅 and she tended to all of them ❤️❤️❤️. We will 💯 recommend her to others and book her again.”
“Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs and our house while away for the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how our sweet fur babies were doing. She is very reliable and trustworthy. We definitely recommend her!”
“Maya has been my go to sitter for the last 6+ months and is so great! I have severe anxiety leaving Pixie for travel needs but with Maya that anxiety has gone down significantly. I know Maya cares and she always asks such thoughtful questions and notices all of the differences in Pixie.”
“Laura is a friendly, dependable, dog loving sitter. She stayed at our house while we were away and cared for our three dogs who all eat differently and take medication. We could tell when she met them that she would love them like we do. And when we returned they were happy and not traumatized. We highly recommend Laura.”
“Great Experience! Wonderful experience with Emmie! She took great care of our dogs, kept us updated, and gave them plenty of love and attention. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Our dogs can be a little picky about who they like, but they liked Anna right away when they met her. She was pleasant and flexible about stopping by prior to our booking. We will definitely ask her to watch Fred and Simsi again.”
“Diana was THES BEST! I didn’t worry a second I was away because she’d send me the cutest updates and pictures every day. As a pet owner you can tell when they’ve been loved and well cared for and when I returned I knew Diana had filled my shoes to a tee !! I’ll never travel again without knowing first that Diana is available?”
“Alyssa was able to sit for me on two separate occasions in a short period of time and did a great job. Anisa and Cairo got their share of walks and parks trips and were happy to see Alyssa upon arrival.she took care of the house and sent plenty of pictures upon request.”
“Jenn is amazing. We have a pack of pups, that all have their own special personalities and needs. She took care of them better than we could have ever hoped. This is our 2nd time booking with her, and we plan to book with her again. She is trustworthy, kind, and cares more than anyone I've ever met. Highly recommend.”
“Lori & Bailey are the absolute best! She was the most amazing sitter to my dog Missy and looked after the house while I was away. She sent pictures and let me know how everything was going regularly, it seemed my dog and her pup Bailey made great friends! Thank you so much Lori for being so wonderful, kind & attentive!”
“Caitlin was great. She kept us up to date and sent pictures. She was a natural with our pups. Would definitely recommend her to friends and family. Will definitely be using Caitlin again.”
About: What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my genuine love for dogs and the way they respond to me in return. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, build trust, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while their owners are away Pet care is at the center of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m fully available for regular visits and last-minute bookings. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my schedule — it is my schedule. At home, my own dog enjoys frequent walks, playtime, and plenty of treats — and I bring that same energy and attention to every pet I look after. Whether I’m providing care in a familiar environment or welcoming a new furry friend into my home, I focus on creating a fun, caring, and reliable experience

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cross Timber
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cross Timber on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,990 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cross Timber. 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 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.
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 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!
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 Timber. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
