“Nothing but positive things to say about Melanie. She responded quickly, came out to meet Penny well in advance of the booking and provided lots of updates (with photos) during her stay. We'll definitely consider Melanie for future bookings.”
“Emilee did an amazing job watching our dog and cat! She sent photos and videos and made sure to communicate with us throughout our trip. We really appreciated her helping us out while we went on vacation.”
“Alexandria was great for our 100 lb Great Pyrenees Sheperd mix. She came before to meet Kai and ask questions, showed up on time and sent pictures and feedback during the dog sitting assignment. We will definitely be booking her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Crissy. I’m a local Sheriff’s Deputy and Nurse with some veterinary care experience, so caring for others—two-legged and four-legged—comes naturally to me. I don’t have any little ones of my own, which means I have plenty of love, attention, and some extra time to share with yours. I’d love the opportunity to care for your fur baby when you can’t be there, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. When your little one is with me, they’ll be treated as if they were my own basked in love, spoiled with attention, and cared for with patience and kindness. Whether you’re working a long shift, away for the day, or simply need an extra helping hand, I’d be honored to be someone you can trust with a member of your family. I look forward to meeting you and your little one(s) soon! 🐾 My schedule allows me to build pet care naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether you need care while you’re working, away for the day, or out of town, I’ll make sure your little one gets the time, love, and attention they deserve. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. In your home, I will respect both your pet’s routine and your space, following all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions as closely as possible. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything that may indicate your pet is uncomfortable or needs extra attention. My background as a Sheriff’s Deputy, EMT-I, and my veterinary care experience have taught me to stay calm, observant, dependable, and prepared when something unexpected happens. I also take the security of your home seriously. Doors, gates, leashes, and any special safety instructions will always be double-checked. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident knowing your little one is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, cuddles, a quiet companion, or simply someone to keep their normal routine intact, I’ll meet them where they are and care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.
About: I love all animals, furry, feathery, and scale-y, young, old; cuddly or playful. I have experience with birds from volunteering at a parrot sanctuary; turtles and fish from previously raising them; and dogs. I have three small dogs at the moment, but have cared for all sizes. I am attentive to instruction and hold myself to a high standard of care and would love to meet your furry babies. I currently available everyday of the week, at all times and would be happy to take care of your fur babies and make sure they are engaged while you are away. I prefer having a meet and greet beforehand to ensure the services go smoothly and comfortably for your pet. I will care for your pet with the passion I take care of mine, but in accordance to their own routine. I'll make sure they only thing they are missing is you, and never waiting long for medicine, food, or potty breaks.
About: I have experience with cats and dogs of many different kinds! I have taken care of both geriatric & adolescent aged animals. As well as having experience with animals who have special needs like blindness, deafness, and giving medication. I hope to meet your babies soon! I'm currently in graduate school to become a speech language pathologist and I’m wanting to supplement my income with some sitting/walking/dropping in jobs before and after school during the week and on the weekends. I will not be able to provide sitting services for any pets inside of my home as I already have multiple animals like cats, dogs, chickens, and fish at my home.
About: My experience with pets amazing. I birthed and raised multiple dogs since I was 12. I’ve worked with dogs big and small. I currently have a beautiful Alaskan husky. I also watch my mom’s Rottweiler from time to time. I’ve rescued dogs and cats. I just love animals. I look forward to taking care of you all sweet hearts. I’m free anytime any day. I home 24/7 I have a lot of free time. So I’m available anytime on those days. I always wake up early take my dogs outside, feed, and give them water. I also let them play outside midday. I have a big field in my backyard. It is not gated so I will use a leash when walking your dog. I stay on the country side of North Augusta. So, ther is a lot of space for your dog to play and have fun.
About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs since i was a little girl! From pitties to small dogs and everything in between! I believe they all deserve lots and lots of lovin so i will also play with them as much as needed! I’m currently an independent contractor and can bring my work with me anywhere as long as i have my phone, my laptop and internet with me! I am also able to adjust it if need be because i do make my own hours so if there is ever any urgent need to check in i am absolutely able to head over immediately. I always make sure to keep an eye on your pups, no matter how old or behaved, accidents happen! i will never let your baby off the leash during walks and will make sure your gates are closed when they’re taken out to play! and of course no consumption of anything except their delicious pup foods!
About: I've raised and trained many animals from dogs to cats and even birds sense I was 9. I LOVE animals and I hope one day I can make a profession out of it. I can walk, feed, bathe your pets. I plan on getting my liscence to train very soon too. I can't wait to meet you and you wonderful pets! I have recently found a weekend shift job position Friday through Sunday. So i will definitely have Monday to Thursday free for puppy play dates! I have a very nice big yard with plenty of space for your fur baby to play. It is half fenced, but there aren't any other animals around. There is an amazing park with a dog track near my house so your pet will get plenty of exercise too!
About: I have cared for many dogs, from Toy breeds up to Great Danes. However, I have mostly cared for dogs that are smaller, and bully dogs. I have also cared for older puppies with the biggest hearts, so if your senior pup needs a friend, call! I am also able to administer any medications your dog needs, as well as bathe them if needed. Whatever your family and furry friends need, I can provide! As of right now I am unemployed, but actively searching for a job in the pet grooming/kennel facility area. I am currently able to look after your pets FULL TIME, and am currently able to do *extended sittings*. I am currently unable to keep your pets in my home as we are doing some renovations that would make me uncomfortable with providing a completely safe space for your pet. With that being said, I am MORE than happy to come to your home and take care of your pets in an environment they are already in love with! If your dog is crate trained, no problem! If your pup sleeps in the bed with you, even better! Specific feeding/walking times? You bet I’ll be there not a minute later! I am extremely passionate about animals and their families when healthy environments are provided for their pets!
About: Hello:) I'm Bella, and I've been independently taking care of and looking after dogs since I was 10 years old! My mother has been in the rescue space for about 15 years, starting her own in 2019. I've had the opportunity to meet, foster, and transport hundreds of different dogs with all sorts of unique characteristics/behaviors. I have also done multiple overnight stays for families that have previously adopted dogs from the rescue and friends. All dog breeds are welcome here! I have watched dogs from chihuahuas to Chows to Airedale terriers. Additionally, from puppies to seniors, small to extra-large, I am comfortable with all dogs and can accommodate special needs. I'm no stranger to raw feeding, administering medications, light training, and grooming. I've always had a deep love and special interest in all aspects of owning dogs, so It's always been my dream to do this professionally. I am currently in school part-time and can be out doing that for about 2-6 hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. During this time, my mother works from home, takes care of the animals' needs, and lets them hang out with her while she works. The animals run the schedule in our home; there's never a time their needs aren't met for other plans. I am a night owl, but I am also up very early. So no matter the time of day, I can stay on schedule for walking, feeding, medication, or potty times. I'm experienced with leash pullers and escape artists, so I am always very cautious when it comes to walking or when leaving a dog alone. I have a wealth of knowledge about veterinary needs and am not afraid to act if it ever becomes necessary. I have a large fenced-in yard here at the house and plenty of space to roam with a leash outside of that. The permanent animals in my home are 4 friendly dogs (1 male Chow, 1 female Chow, 2 female small-medium mixed breeds) and 5 cats. Fosters are in and out often but do not disturb the function of the household. Separation is possible in the house with crates, corrals, or gated off rooms. Extra animal supplies are always available here from the rescues' overflow, so we are always prepared for anything. We keep a clean home, and I've been a part-time professional cleaner, so I will keep a tidy space if staying in your home as well. I'm not afraid of any messes; I have seen and cleaned it all! Communication is key, and I'm up for molding around your schedule if need be. My aim to treat your pups with the utmost respect and love they deserve, so you won't have any need to worry when you can't be with them!
About: i’ve been around animals my entire life i have 5 dogs and two cats and i am also in vet school. i worked at several boarding facilities and love it i have a lot of free time since i’m doing class online so i can spend the whole day with any animal! i also get my dogs out of the house and take them to the park i have two dogs at home and a fenced yard for my animals my animals are always around other dogs they love other animals and are very hyper sometimes

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnson Crossroads
Faith was an absolute Godsend for my animals. I have a senior dog who requires twice a day insulin injections, pills, and doses of liquid medicine. My cats are easier to take care of, but I haven't been out of town with my mom in quite a while because of worrying about my dog. Faith came to meet them before the stay, and he and the cats took right to her. I knew immediately that it was the right fit. She kept me updated with pictures and texts of all three, and she handled my dog's meds like a professional. I can't thank her enough for giving me a peace of mind and giving my animals superb care. I am so, so grateful for her and recommend her 1000% without any trace of hesitation.

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 Johnson Crossroads 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 Johnson Crossroads 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 Johnson Crossroads 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Johnson Crossroads. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
