“Ashley is such a warm & caring individual! She looked after our home & furbabies while we were away. Ashley was very communicative, as well as responsive, during our lengthy absence. She is extremely trustworthy & attentive. Our dogs love her! ❤️”
“Maria took excellent care of my babies and house. She provided daily updates with pictures. My house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for future visits.”
“Aunya watched my dog for me while I was out of town. My dog is an anxious rescue, and Aunya did so well with her! I’m glad I could have someone trustworthy and reliable to care for my fur baby.”
“Abby was great with my girl! This was just an overnight trip but she took great care of Elsa in the short time she was with her. Great communication! I plan to use her again in a few months for a week long trip I have.”
“Austin is meticulous, detailed and honest. He took care of my pups (Juneau and Denali) during a long international work trip and I was impressed by the care and attention he gave my pups. I will most definitely use Austin again since I know my dogs will be well cared for and I can't ask for anything more.”
About: I have been caring for my pets as well as the pets of friends and family for over 30 years. In addition, I have volunteered at an animal shelter for five years. I am very compassionate and experienced with young pets through seniors - both dogs and cats. I am also experienced with differently abled pets (aka disabled) as we had a partially paralyzed dog ourselves. I am comfortable with administering oral and subcutaneous medication as needed. I pride myself on attention to detail. I am currently a stay-at-home wife, and mom of a teenager, as well as one in the military, so my schedule is VERY flexible. I can help you out, morning, day, or night as well as during the week or on the weekends. I will care for your pets with love and compassion just as I do my own while following your directions and expectations. I am comfortable with crating pets as well as free-roam pets.
“Amy is always amazing & takes wonderful care of our baby & house while we're away. I feel very comfortable with her in our home & know she's treating our fur baby very well. The daily updates are great & she's always will to do the extras (medication, trash, mail, packages) & I'm sure she'd go the extra mile if our puppy needed anything extra. Will definitely be using her on every upcoming trip.”
“Cai was extremely accommodating and sent tons of photos and very clearly genuinely cares about and loves animals. We discovered through this sit that our dog has separation anxiety and Cai went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable.”
“Madison is AMAZING. She is just a great person who took care of my babies and my home just as I would. We have never left our cats alone overnight but circumstances caused the need to be gone for 8 days - to say I was nervous about how the babies were going to be is an understatement. Madison made sure they were taken care of and sent so many pictures and videos and updated us numerous times to let us know how everyone was doing. This is my first experience using Rover and I'm so happy I did. I love my friends, but no way they would have taken care of cats like Madison did. I feel like I can actually travel now as long as Madison is free to take care of everything for me ❤️”
“Meghan was great! We loved getting the pictures and updates on our doggos throughout the week. She was super communicative and we could tell that our dogs both loved her. Would have her back anytime!”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our cat and dog while we were away. We contacted here while we were already out of the country because of issues we had with the sitter we had hired. Elizabeth stepped in (even on a stormy night) and didn't miss a beat. Would definitely recommend.”
“Great dog dog sitter. When I returned from my trip I found she left my home tidy and my dog was healthy, happy and clearly card for. I really enjoyed the pics and vids she sent and would hire her again!”
“Malia has been fantastic with our nervous shepherd, Selkie. I am very cautious about who I leave her with and Malia handled her fabulously, made sure she had the best time and keep us updated with photos the whole time we were away. It was super reassuring and so happy she could take care of her both times we have been away. Highly recommend and will 100% be calling upon her to pet sit for us in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of my family dogs my whole life! Including administering medication (oral and injections). As well as caring for them until they are seniors! I have had dogs of all sizes from bulldogs, to mastiffs! I love getting to know the personality of every dog I’ve owned! I am currently working part-time while going to graduate school! I have had lots of free time since starting it, and would love to spend that time with your dog! I am available most weekends all day long, as well as after 4pm on Thursdays. I will follow all guidelines given to me by the owners! I am flexible and can work with many different situations as needed! I will keep the pets safe in any way I can!
About: Hi! I’m Emma! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 4 years old. I grew up with a German Shepherd mix and a Pit Bull mix, so I have experience with big and small, high-energy dogs and understand the attention and exercise they need. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, and they have a special place in my heart. Whether your pup is young and playful or older and prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I genuinely love being around dogs and would be thrilled to spend time with yours! I’m a full time touring musician, but I have multiple months in the year where I’m at home and don’t have much to do. I’m almost always available on weekdays, and sometimes weekends. I’m also usually available anytime between 8am-8pm I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. ☺️ I carefully follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise, and always prioritize their safety and comfort. I keep a clean environment, doublecheck doors and gates, and communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while giving you peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, and while my parents are away I go over and house sit and take care of their dogs. I also watch my neighbors dogs while they are on vacation. I’m currently working part-time and will be finishing up my college semester. During summer I will have a lot of free time during mid-day to check in on your babies! My dogs are like household members so I treat them with respect and give them lots of love. I take them out, and take them for walks when needed and they love to go for drives (especially when it ends with pupcups.)
“Connor was a fantastic dog sitter. The meet and greet went very well and he asked a lot of good questions about my fur baby. Throughout my time out of town, I consistently received pictures and updates to put me at ease. I will definitely be seeking him out again specifically for in house dog sitting. I highly recommend Connor”
About: I have take care of many different pups of all breeds and personalities. This includes my own, family and friends, volunteering at shelters and even the local dog wash. I'm currently starting school part-time so I'll have plenty of time to walk, take care of, and play with your pets! I'm mostly available with flexibility and depending upon my schedule, some days I'm fully free! I'm very cautious in following instructions and needs of any pet. I'm good at keeping pups at a good walking pace, I love playing with pets to keep them active, and I'll set extra timers and keep set schedules for your pet's eating habits.

FAQs for House Sitting - Madison Crossroads
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 366 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Madison Crossroads. 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 Madison 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 Madison 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 Madison 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 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.
