“Giana was such a great help to us when we had an impromptu over night trip. She was very communicative and sent so many pictures of our Shiloh! I would absolutely recommend booking with her and I can guarantee your pet will be happy too!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old! Friends, family and other relatives have relied on me to make sure their animals were well taken care of and I provided! I can pretty much do whenever! Weekends are iffy but I’m willing to make adjustments as needed to make sure your fur babies are okay and happy! I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own who I play with and take care of daily! We play, have potty breaks, I bathe her and she would love to meet new friends!
“Ashley was amazing! Took great care of my 3 dogs even after one just recently had surgery! Kept in contact with me and sent lots of pics! Thanks so much Ashley! I will be using you again soon!!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Emma! I came to Rover with an unusual request: someone to stay at my home and care for my two baby goats… Emma not only accepted my unusual request, but she followed all their care instructions and went above and beyond to give them special attention and activity. It’s clear she’s a natural with animals and truly cared about my boys! She sent picture and video updates, which gave me such peace of mind for my first weekend away from them. She kept things neat and tidy and was simply the best! Thank you so much, Emma!”
“Ryan was great! She stayed with our "pups" (as she cutely called them) for almost a week. Right from the start she sent texts, photos, and a sense that all was under control. Meeting her before the stay both her experience as a student working towards going to vet school and as a horse owner sealed the deal. We'd happily use her again.”
“Alexis was truly fantastic. She sent tons of updates and spent so much time with our girls so they felt totally at home. She kept the house in the same shape we left it and I have already re-booked with her. Can’t wait for her to come again!”
About: Ive had a passion for animals of all kinds ever since I was little and was the go to if friends or family needed help. I can help with cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs . Im currently in school for dog grooming and can offer baths. Let me help your pet to feel and look thier best. I currently just moved back to my home town of Bordentown. I am currently looking for work so i am able to devote my time to caring for your pet. Ive been a nurse aide for the past 13 years. Once I find a job i plan to update my days and hours but hope to find steady clients so I can continue my passion of pet care. Every pet has different needs and likes i will adjust to the needs of the pet parent/pet. I can come up with ideas once I meet the pet but can also go by a list of the pet parents needs.
“We had a great visit drop-in visit with Karren. She was available within 24 hours of me reaching out to do a meet + greet and also come by later in the day to meet our dog, Walter, feed him/walk him/play with him. She left our home tidy and sent cute pics of Walter. We look forward to working with Karren again!”
“We just came home after leaving our dogs with Nora for the first time, and I can say it was an overall great experience. She communicated well and quickly, followed our detailed instructions, kept great care of our dogs, and left our home in immaculate condition. She was reliable, trustworthy, and had a positive impact on our dogs' well-being. I was a little nervous as it was the first time we had worked with her. She sent a pic of the dogs with her the first evening that put me totally at ease. Highly recommend. - Mike”
“Pat did a great job taking care of the pups while we were away. We felt so safe leaving our babies and home in Pat’s care. Highly recommend hiring Pat for all your pet needs.”
About: I have much experience with pups! From corgis to golden retrievers to Bernese mountain dogs, I have cared for dogs dating back 5 years. I enjoy playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they have everything they need while you are away!! 🥰❤️ I currently work full time, but have flexible hours as some weeks I have plenty of time during the week and weekends. Pretty open to any hours as long as I'm off!! I will make sure your dog is cared for and played with while I walk them and/or are with them!! 😆 Whether it's taking them out for the bathroom, walking around, or just keeping them company.
“Sharyn stayed at my house and took care of my dog while I was away for 6 nights. She was very kind to my dog and he was happy and looked great when I arrived home. The house was well taken care of as well. I will definitely have Sharyn care for my dog again in the future.”
“Ashley took excellent care of my greyhound and cat! My dog is older and has some special care requirements (supplements, diapers, anxiety) and Ashley had no issues managing it.”
“My pup Rocky and me were visiting the area for the holidays again, and Rita watched Rocky for a second time on Christmas Eve. She’s so great with him and I was ease knowing he’d be safe and cared for while I was out!”
“Kelly was a great communicator. Our dogs loved getting to know her. She was responsible with giving one of our dogs medication and following our routine. We wil be using her again for dog sitting needs.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a Labrador who was part of my family for 16 wonderful years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals from an early age. Since the age of 17, I have worked as a pet sitter caring for both dogs and cats, providing dependable, attentive, and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have been around animals my entire life and truly understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring to look after your pets.I treat every pet with patience, affection, and attention as if they were part of my own family. I work full-time during the week, but I work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and care to pets staying with me. Even when I am not home, my husband is home, so there is always someone present to supervise, keep company, and care for your pets. This means your furry family members will never feel alone and will always receive attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply a calm and safe environment, I adapt to their needs and routine to make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s home. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I work full-time but work from home two days a week and am fully available on weekends. On the days I’m not home, my husband is present, so pets are never left alone and always have supervision and company. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for, with consistency and attention at all times.
“Stacie was great with our 3 weens. We met before leaving for our trip to go over everything. She was attentive and sweet to our babies. Always sent us update photos without prompting. She left our house very tidy. She even made sure to stop by and feed our babies and spend time with them a few hours before we arrived home. We had complete peace of mind when we were in a different country that our weens were in good hands.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Crosswicks is $57
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crosswicks
Marin was absolutely wonderful with our pups! We have two dogs—one young and full of energy, the other older and needing a gentler touch—and Marin did an amazing job caring for both of their unique needs. She was punctual every day for feedings and playtime, and she sent us regular updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. In the past, we’ve noticed our older boy would lose a bit of weight and seem down when we returned home—almost like he’d go into a little depression while we were gone. Not this time! Both dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We came home to wagging tails and excited pups. I would absolutely call Marin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Crosswicks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crosswicks on Rover is $81.31 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 4,651 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crosswicks. 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 Crosswicks 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 Crosswicks 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 Crosswicks 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.

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.
