About: Experienced with puppies, seniors, rescues, and large breeds. I provide patient, attentive care while maintaining routines, medications, training, exercise, and plenty of love and time. My flexible schedule allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day, with time for walks, play, potty breaks, cuddles, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent. I have a fenced in yard. We also really love to walk if that’s your dog’s vibe 😎. I have a 2 year old female husky mix who is always looking for a new friend to play with. She loves dogs of all sizes and ages as long as they love her.
About: Only available for house/dog sitting in the owners home at the moment. Excellent references. I have taken care of dogs all of my adult life from my own pet to I many others. I have experiences with all sizes and ages and have spent significant time with elderly and special needs (detailed care sheets are a must). I am available anytime to house sit or come by and walk your pet. I work Monday- Friday 8-5p with the opportunity to work from home if needed (advanced notice required). I am up for playing inside or out and allowing the chance for them to burn off energy and have fun. I love playing games with them that get their brains working. I am all for pet snuggles and enjoy making snacks and treats for them.
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I grew up surrounded by dogs and spent much of my childhood helping my grandmother on her farm, caring for horses, goats, llamas, and plenty of other animals along the way. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have two very loved cats of my own! I’m currently in graduate school for speech-language pathology, and my husband, Tim, and I would love to help care for your furry family members! We offer pet sitting in your home, drop-in visits, and boarding in ours. While my schedule varies with classes and clinical placements on some weekdays, Tim works from home and can help provide plenty of company, attention, and care for pets staying with us. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and routine. I’ll also gladly send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I’m currently a graduate student studying speech-language pathology, so my daytimes are usually booked Tuesday through Thursday but am otherwise available! Fortunately as well, my husband, Tim, works from home, which gives us plenty of flexibility when caring for pets staying with us! Between the two of us, we’re able to provide lots of companionship, attention, and opportunities for walks, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day. I’m also available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting around my school schedule, including evenings and weekends when available. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine fit comfortably into our schedule. Our goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away! My husband and I live in a cozy three-bedroom home surrounded by beautiful woods and plenty of space to explore! Our home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of love and attention. We have two cats of our own, so we ask that pets staying with us be comfortable around cats. Although our property isn’t fenced, we have lots of lovely wooded areas nearby for supervised, leashed walks and outdoor adventures! Safety is always a priority, and pets will never be allowed to roam freely outdoors. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and do my best to maintain their familiar routines so they feel comfortable and secure. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own!
About: Hi! My name is Chesnut. I’m kind and compassionate and will love caring for your furry buddy. I have grown up taking care of my family’s dogs and have two of my own for the last five years. P.s. If you have a really active dog, I love taking dogs on runs or hikes or long walks. I work from home so available all week long. On weekends my husband and I tend to go hiking, so if the dogs enjoy hikes we will take them, but if not then we can adjust our schedules. We have an unfenced yard for potty breaks (leashed), but will take the dogs to the local dog park for exercise or on leashed walks/hikes.
“Coryne is a highly conscientious pet lover who took great care of my geriatric pet. She stuck to the routine I had written down for her and sent me plenty of pictures to keep my mind at ease while I was away for the weekend. Thank you Coryne. Katie looks forward to having you back.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young and helped friends and family with their other pets including cats. Once my own dog became sick several years ago, I decided my love for animals was much more and wanted to help others. I have cared for many types of dogs and I’m very comfortable handling any medical issues as well as social anxiety since I’ve helped mine as well as others with these conditions. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR. When I lost my 16 year old cavalier King Charles spaniel a year and a half ago, I decided to be more available and pet sit. I currently have a young, terrier mix who is a ball of energy, I’m very flexible and can do house sits, drop ins, and walks. I will take care of additional needs requested and I’m good at communicating so you will know how your loved one is doing while I’m with them. I very flexible but do currently work Wednesday evenings and usually one day a weekend. This may change to starting in May to more availability. I have a fenced in yard but live on several acres of land. My young terrier loves exploring the woods and creek. I care for senior dogs who do not have this lifestyle and have mobility and other issues that need special attention. I’ve always had my own dogs and clients who prefer them to sleep with me and are on my sofas but I tailor my care to what the owners want and is how they are comfortable.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. I absolutely love spending time outdoors and visiting the dog park. I have always enjoyed spending time with animals, and have watched several pets besides my own. I currently attend App State as an IO Psychology Graduate Student, so I have a very flexible schedule. I frequently go for runs at local parks after work, and would love to bring your dog with! I have a backyard, but it is unfenced. However I am willing to take pets to any other locations, such as hiking trails or dog parks. I am able to spend time with pets because all of my free time is spent outdoors! Whether it's taking a walk around the neighborhood, running around a state park, or hanging out in the backyard, I enjoy being outdoors regardless of the weather. I am not able to take dogs into my apartment, however I have a car for easy transportation to nearby outdoor areas. There are so many great options in Boone, I will definitely find a great place to take your dog!
About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.
“Ivory was a wonderful dog/house sitter for us! She gave us lots of updates and pictures throughout the week and she left our house in great condition. We would love to have her back in the future!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Crossnore is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crossnore
Josh was amazing with our two cats and two dogs over the Thanksgiving holiday, and we really appreciated the great teamwork between him and Megan from the very start. This was actually the second time they watched our pets, and once again, their communication was excellent both prior to and during the stay. Josh sent us daily updates with photos of our animals, which gave us great peace of mind. He stayed at our house the entire time, which made us feel completely at ease. He followed all of our instructions carefully and left our place spotless. We felt completely comfortable having him caring for our pets. We would absolutely love to have Josh and Megan watch our animals again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy help with their pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 178 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crossnore. 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 Crossnore 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 Crossnore 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 Crossnore 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.
