“Amy did a great job! I received frequent updates and photos of my dog. She left the house as clean as she found it. My dog was happy when I got back which is one of the main reasons that I used a house sitter instead of boarding her. I couldn’t have asked for more!”
“Austin was exactly what we needed for a house sitter! He sent plenty of updates and photos and took perfect care of the animals and the house! Highly recommend him!”
“Our dogs and our family loved Bethany. She put all our fears at ease, as we have never used a dog sitting service before. Scheduled a meet and greet before hand and was able to see personally that our dogs loved her as well as photos during her stay and updates. Our babies have a new best friend when Mom and Dad can’t be home. ❤️”
“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.”
“Stephen is awesome! He was able to accommodate us even though it was very short notice. We have 2 dogs, a small Maltese and a big Weimaraner. The big one can be imposing when you walk through the door and she barks at you with her hair standing on its ends, but Stephen immediately sat in the floor and let her get it all out of her system without a flinch. He knows how to put the pups at ease! My wife works from home and the dogs are used to someone always being there, Stephen is the first sitter we’ve had (and we’ve tried out several) that showed up with a suitcase! We knew immediately that this guy was what we have been searching for, someone that would basically live in our home while we were away with the sole purpose of watching over our furbabies. And he did his job impeccably! He sent lots of pics and video without us having to ask and was always prompt with a response if we ever needed him. When we returned home the house was still tidy and in order and I’m pretty sure the dogs looked past us trying to figure out where Stephen was, LOL. If you need a drop in visit or someone to come by and walk your dogs this guy can do it all and I promise your pets will look forward to him returning, and if you need someone that will basically live in your home with your furry loved ones while on vacation then look no further you have found the pinnacle of dog sitting! We will definitely use Stephen for any dog sitting needs we have in the future.”
About: Alongside taking care of my own pets, I have three years of professional experience working with hundreds of dogs daily at a pet care facility. I have been professionally trained to handle feeding, bathing, and medications, including insulin injections and needles, while maintaining clear and professional communication with owners. I have experience handling dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to dogs in their golden years, as well as a wide range of sizes—from Chihuahuas weighing under 3 pounds to large Dalmatians and Rottweilers weighing well over 120 pounds. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my number one goal is to make sure your pet is well cared for, comfortable, and feels just as loved and secure as they would if you had never left. I am currently a full time student. My week is when I am busiest: Monday and Wednesday I am in class from 8am - 2pm. Tuesday and Thursday I am in class from 1pm - 4pm. I live in an apartment with a fairly strict pet policy so they cannot stay with me personally. Otherwise, I am more than willing to take care of a pet in your home, learn your routes and routines while getting by to know your beloved pet.
“Emma was great staying at our house and watching our dogs and cat. She was very communicative and respectful of our home. Our babies were very comfortable and felt very loved with her.”
“Josue was amazing with our Malamute during a 2 week trip! Malamutes can be a difficult breed but our pup took to Josue immediately. Josue took great care of our dog and house while we were gone, and we will happily work with him again for any future travel!”

About: I have been around and had dogs my whole life. I grew up with chow chows but currently raise 2 rescues and a husky. I truly enjoy animals and being outdoors. I follow instructions well and do well under pressure. I am the grandmother of 4 cats and sometimes more, my daughter has a cat distribution problem. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I can work easily around you and your pets needs to make sure they're as comfortable and anxiety free as possible! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my highest priorities. When caring for your pets in your space, I treat your home and routine with the utmost respect. I strictly follow all instructions for locking up, managing alarm codes, and handling house keys or lockboxes. On Walks, double-check leashes/harnesses and remain alert to environmental hazards. Doors and gates are always secured behind. You will receive detailed report cards and photo/video updates during every single visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I will keep your emergency contact numbers saved, watch closely for any changes in your pet's behavior or health, and will communicate immediately if any questions arise. I provide drop ins, walking, and house sitting- no overnight stays.
About: I'm the pet sitter I would like to have. While you are away or at work, they are my responsibility and I care for them like my own. My job is to keep people from feeling anxious or guilty and I do that by caring for their pets while keeping them involved and informed. * Serving Redstone Arsenal * Discount for pets in the County Line area. Rover fits with my lifestyle and I do it full-time. I have regular clients who need pet care while they work and I care for other pets whose people are out of town. Lately, I've been specializing in shy/fearful animals. I wear pheromones (the smell mamas make to tell puppies and kittens everything is okay) like a teenage boy wears Axe body spray. I bring special treats and music developed for pets using neuroscience. And we will take things at the pet's pace. I've done some creative things trying to get pets to eat or come back inside. Unless there is a medical or safety need, everything I do is reward-based and force-free.
About: My name is Gabriel Hale. I’m 28 years old and I have one dog who absolutely loves every dog and every person that he runs into. I have a fenced in back yard that the dogs can play in. I’m currently taking online classes over the summer with no job. I will be at home with your dog all day other than the 1-2 hours that I am working out. You can trust me with your pet because I have spent my entire life around dogs and cats. I have one dog of my own who I care for like he is my son.
“Christie was absolutely amazing with our dogs. All the dogs we happy and very cared for. She sent lots of pictures. Kept us updated. We will be using her again!!! ❤️❤️”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !
About: Hi! I’m new to Rover and I've been caring for pets since I was a little girl and have experience living with both dogs and cats! I'm comfortable tending to their daily needs, including feeding, walking, cleaning up, and keeping them company. I love playing with animals and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I'm available all week! I'm available throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule! I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether that means stopping by for meals, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. I'm also available on weekends! I want your pets to feel as comfortable with me as they do with you! I'll make sure to follow their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions you leave. I'm also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how your furry friend is doing while you're away!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been working with them since I was a young teenager! Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience at a dog boarding facility, a veterinary clinic, and now full-time at a local animal shelter, caring for pets of all personalities and needs. Through fostering, I became even more familiar with cats, and at home, I share my life with two dogs and three cats. I’ve had several long-standing pet-sitting clients before moving to this area outside of Rover, and I love meeting new pets and building bonds with them. I’m confident administering medications and giving attentive, loving care to make sure your furry friends are happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. If your pet has fur, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work full-time, so I’m available for morning check-ins or walks before 8 AM and evening visits after 5 PM. On weekends, I’m wide open and happy to schedule drop-ins or walks based on what works best for you and your pet. I may also be able to accommodate a midday walk or check-in between 12 PM and 2 PM, depending on your location and your pet’s needs. I’m also available on government holidays, and I’m always happy to communicate and find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and well cared for! I care for every pet as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness. I strive to make every interaction safe, fun, and fulfilling for the animal while respecting their individual needs and boundaries. On walks, I stay alert and attentive, ensuring pets remain safe at all times and calmly leaving any situation that makes them seem uncomfortable or stressed. During drop-in visits, I closely observe each pet’s overall well-being, including their behavior, energy level, and routine, and I will promptly report any concerns to the owner. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel secure and well cared for in their home or while out on walks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 357 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
