“Gwen is the best! Our dogs love her. They are so joyful when she is with them. Gwen has dog sat for us twice and both times we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur-babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Gwen. ❤️”
“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”
“Meaghan was great! Our dogs absolutely loved her and had a great time during our absence. She was timely, communicative, and had no issues with our anxious pups and their many needs. We can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely rebook with her!”
“Caleb was an amazing dog sitter! He took such great care of my basset hound and sent me so many pictures and updates while I was out of town! He even ended Ho coming back and staying with her/feeding her because my fiancé and I ended up leaving later than we thought. He also took great care of our house. He kept it so clean. I would definitely recommend him!”
About: I have taken care of many animals in my lifetime and I especially love dogs! My favorite thing to do in the evening after taking a walk is to cuddle with a sweet puppy, a book (or Stardew Valley) and a hot tea. In my free time I like to paint and crochet, ask me about my headscarves! I currently work part time as a secretary so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet as well as short turn around for your last minute trips. I love to take walks so I can provide any exercise needed. I have cared for shy, nervous and high energy pups. I also have experience with giving dogs medication and caring for elderly dogs. I am comfortable with multiple dog homes and I'm very flexible to your pups particular needs.
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!
“I am SO thankful for Nicole! She has a pup of her own with similar sassiness and issues with other dogs so she was able to relate, and work with Hank while I was gone. She has a great personality, and understands how to be alpha with Hank who tries to "run the show". Usually, Hank exhibits anxiety when I leave him but I noticed how calm he was when I got home yesterday. She clearly spent a lot of time with him and exercised him She also sent me really cute pictures and was always responsive when we texted. I will be using her regularly!! :)”

“Baylee was the perfect sitter for my pup while I had to run out of town. She sent cute pictures and videos and communicated really well! I definitely plan to use Baylee the next time I need a sitter.”
“Jasmine did a great job with our dogs and was very communicative with pictures and updates! She also took great care of the home! It was just as we left it. Even when my golden retriever pulled out some of my personal belongings she respectfully put them back. I would consider Jasmine very responsible and she has great character; it was also extremely nice to meet her because she was exceptionally pleasant and kind.Thanks again, Jasmine”

About: Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood dog walker! With years of experience under my belt, I'm all about giving your pup the adventure they deserve. Rain or shine, I'll make sure they have a tail-wagging good time while you're away. Let's make fetch happen! I’m currently a Stay at home parent to my 6yo and 2yo. Left the full time work scene to be more present in my family’s day to day life. I’m available during weekday and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a silly furry boy to keep yours company. But also willing to adjust to preferences if you want your pet to stay separate! I am able to crate if needed, large crate and medium crate for medium and small dogs. Also door (“baby”) gates if crating is not preferred.
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. With friends, family, and working at Petsmart as a pet groomer and in the boarding facilities. I have a dog and cat of my own. I am at home and available on full days as I work as an online therapist. Because I create my own schedule this allows me flexibility to care for the dogs that I am boarding or sitting. When visiting your space I am respectful and caring of your space. I am mindful of your pet’s needs and will engage in your requests to the best of my ability. My home is well maintained and regularly cleaned. We have a large patio and play yard. We might have multiple dogs at a time therefore we ask that your dog/s are fully vaccinated. If your dog does not play well with others then let us know so that we can make sure to keep them separate from the others.
“Sydney was very good and reliable. She communicated with me well. One of my dogs is very skittish with new people and he warmed right up to her. I’d definitely use her again on the future.”
About: I’ve used a different walking app before and I love being around cats and dogs! I’ve recently got a cute cat and his name is Alfred and recently Nala and they are the best thing ever!

“I have used Rover before in Alaska and was less than pleased with the amount of time spent with my two mini schnauzers, Nahla spend most of her time taking care of my girls during my short trip (three days). The dogs were walked everyday and they liked her a lot. It was her first time and she cooked food for them they way I do; but she did more than the Vet assistant or student I hired in Alaska and the house was still clean. Thanks Nahla”

FAQs for House Sitting - Martins Crossroads
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Martins 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 Martins 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 Martins 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 Martins 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Martins Crossroads. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
