“I can’t say enough wonderful things about our dog sitter Ashley! From the moment we met, I knew my dogs were in caring and capable hands. They were treated like family, and I received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“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!”
“Sharyn went 1000% above and beyond for our Jace ! She was patient, kind, understanding and empathetic with our scarred little pup.

She is open about scheduling conflicts in a way that ensures that the quality of care of your pet won't be compromised.

About: I’ve taken care of pets most of my life. I love dogs, and am always the go-to for friends and family when they need a pet sitter. I work full time as a teacher, so my schedule is open during the summer months. The rest of the year, I am available weekdays after 5pm, and most weekends. My own dog was crate trained, but I am comfortable with both crated and free roaming pets. I love snuggling on the couch with a pup or two, and am happy to stick to the routine that works best for your pet!
About: No pup is too big and no cat is too small! From big dogs like shepard mixes, pit bull mixes, retrievers and labs, ive cared for them all. Puppies and kittens as small as my hand I have experience with as well. I have no fear when it comes to breeds of any animal. I am eager to learn any pets unique personality and lifestyle! I currently babysit part time and have an at home art business painting pet portraits so I am pretty flexible every day of the week. Including weekends! In my clients home I care for their pets with positive energy, reliability and respect. Not only for one’s pet but for their home as well. I always make sure to leave the house as I found it and make sure every pet is as comfortable as possible. I am big on communication so anytime I am of service I will always have my phone to give updates or answer any questions.
About: Hello, my name is Jeffrey and I am an Animal Care Technician and Doggy Daycamp Counselor currently working at Best Friends Pet Hotel. I have worked there for over 2 years now as working with animals is my passion. Outside of working at a pet hotel, I have also been responsible for walking, feeding, and giving water to my neighbors dogs as well. As of right now I am currently a student at Penn State Univeristy, majoring in criminal justice in hopes of becoming a New Jersey State Trooper, I plan on becoming a K9 officer. Before, in between and after my classes during the weekdays, I am available for services. I love all dogs and treat them all as my own. As of now, I have cared for hundreds, if not thousands of dogs through my work.
“Briana took such great care of our dog Lacey! I felt soo at ease being away for the long weekend with the frequent updates and pictures I got. I will 100% be requesting her in the future and would highly recommend to anyone!”
“We were leaving our 2 dogs who have anxiety for a vacation and needed someone willing to take the time and patience so they could get to know her. Our one dogs has extremely bad anxiety and takes a lot of time to get used to someone and Nikki went completely above and beyond to make sure our dogs and us were completely comfortable before we went away. Both dogs were taken care of incredibly and we received numerous videos and photos daily and she literally cared for them like they were her own. Nikki will definitely be our sitter anytime we need someone to care for our babies.”
About: Hello! My name is Makula and I want to offer my skills to you! I’ve been dog walking and sitting for a over 3 years now and I have found it to be an amazing and fun job to have. Services: I’m available for pet siting, check ins and dog walks. Available on weekdays and weekends! I have a license and my own car and I’m willing to travel at most a 30-40 mile radius from North Versailles,PA. I also offer cat care and I’m willing to take care and board cats or kittens. Contact: For any offers please shoot me a text or an email and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can. I check emails and texts frequently so expect a reply ASAP! I work part time but I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your buddy. Free all day Tuesdays through Saturday. Can walk any day of the week. I live in an unfenced area but there’s plenty of space to walk. It’s a quiet and slow paced neighborhood. I do have a crate for dogs with crate training only if instructed to do so.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who experiences seizures, and my senior cat, whom I lovingly cared for through his final years. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding that every pet has their own needs and personality. My passion for animals has also led me to pursue extensive academic and hands-on experience. I studied veterinary medicine throughout high school, completed an intensive summer program at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, earned a biology degree, and most recently interned rehabilitating New Jersey wildlife. I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing concerning symptoms, administering medications, and providing canine and feline first aid and CPR. I’m detail-oriented and attentive to each pet’s needs, while also loving to play with energetic pets and keep them happy, engaged, and exercised! I’m available 7 days a week, day and night, for boarding clients, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I keep feeding and bathroom breaks consistent with their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. We’ll typically go for a walk after lunch, with additional activity based on your pet’s needs. Playtime is tailored to their temperament and mood; whether they’re energetic and ready to play, or prefer some quiet cuddles and downtime. My goal is to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and fun while they’re away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time is kept safely on leash. Pets are supervised closely throughout their stay, and I’m happy to use their crate if one is provided and it’s part of their normal routine. I also have a portable pet gate that can be used to safely section off the kitchen or stairs when needed. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in a safe and attentive environment.

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.
<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 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!

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 .
