About: I’m a nurse, wife, mom, and lifelong dog lover! We have three dogs of our own: a 65-pound Vizsla, a 6-pound Maltipoo, and a 9-pound Yorkie, so I’m pretty familiar with everything from big personalities to little attitudes! I’ve always been the person friends and family call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I genuinely enjoy it. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll make sure yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a nurse working remote with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to stop by to feed your pets, let them outside, play with them, or just give them some attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine! Having three dogs of my own, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets are comfortable and well cared for during every visit. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how everyone is doing while you’re away!

“Olivia was fantastic!!! Hands down, the best we have worked with. We have a 13 yr old Orange Tabby, that has a bad attitude and mean personality when it comes to new people. But this time, she did very well. Even ate for Olivia, which is surprising. She’s just old and set in her ways 😂. Will definitely be booking with Olivia again when needed!!!! Highly recommend. 5 ⭐️’s!!!!!!!”

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 6+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats! I started my career in animal care as a veterinary receptionist, eventually working my way into kennel care and hands-on animal handling. I wanted to take my experience even further, so I went back to school and graduated as an Approved Veterinary Assistant in January 2025. I’m also a Certified Professional Groom Technician, giving me experience with everything from everyday pet care to grooming and handling. Over the years, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels — from tiny couch potatoes to giant breeds and everything in between. Shy, nervous, or rescue dogs are absolutely no problem for me! I’m patient and comfortable letting pets warm up to me at their own pace. High-energy pups, timid dogs, counter surfers, goofy troublemakers… I’ve probably met one like them! 😂 I’ve also cared for plenty of cats, including the sweet ones and the spicy kitties who prefer to keep their humans on their toes. 😹 I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take their safety, comfort, and routine seriously. I genuinely love what I do and feel incredibly lucky that caring for animals is something I get to do for a living. When your pets are with me, they’ll get plenty of attention, patience, love, and care — and probably a few extra treats and belly rubs along the way. 💕🐾 Pet care is a big part of my life, and I’m fortunate to have a very flexible schedule! I’m generally available throughout the week and am happy to work with your pet’s individual routine and needs. Whether you need regular visits, occasional care, or help while you’re out of town, I’m happy to be there for your pets. 🐾 I love being able to make pet care part of my everyday routine, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 With 6+ years of hands-on animal-care experience, including veterinary medicine, boarding, daycare, grooming, and pet sitting, I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, medications or special instructions, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home and treat it with the same care I would my own. I also make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure so pets stay safe while I’m there. I know that some pets are nervous around new people, so I never force interaction. I’m patient and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace. I pay close attention to their behavior and will communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or concerning. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away — and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 💕🐶🐱

“Anthony was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior Golden Retriever! He went above and beyond to make sure our sweet boy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He took him on walks, gave him extra attention, and truly treated him like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Anthony was thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with our dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him! We are so grateful for everything Anthony did and will absolutely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their pets! ❤️🐾”

About: I am comfortable dealing with all sizes and personalities of dogs and cats. I've always had pets throughout my life from Newfoundlands to kittens. Im currently working part time to pay for my expenses. More than enough time to keep the fur babies very happy. I prefer mornings but can be flexible. Babysitting the doggo is no issue for me. I have enough experience to know what to expect. Can't do it at my domicile though.

About: I got my first dog at 11 years old and have loved animals ever since. I bought another dog in college, and have had 2 more since plus a stray foster pup I helped get rehomed. I currently work full time Monday-Friday. I’m typically off before 4pm and may be able to drop by after work before I go home, but I feel in order to give pets the attention they need, my availability is best suited for weekends. I won’t be able to keep pets at my house for the time being, but I can meet any necessary accommodations you have in your home.

Recovery has gone very well from my shoulder surgery. Please feel free to check with me for all dates moving forward. I am able to do days, weeks or months at a time. If you are military I can also help you as you may be transitioning out of your military life. I know that the debriefing from military life back to civilian life is sometimes one of distance and defiantly time and I am very flexible on my time. I provide in home pet care. I have a day job working from home. My day job does allow me to come to you and your pet so that they can be less stressed by their humans absence. I like to keep the babies normal routine as close to perfect as possible.

I can provide letters of reference also if needed. Please review my calendar as I do have availability moving forward. My time with your pet will of course depend on your needs.

I have also done some dog training along with showing dogs for a short time frame. I simply love dogs, cats & horses. I am a responsible pet owner who always treated her own pet like a child & part of the family. Your pet would get that same love and attention. Playtime, good walks, some laughs and lots of belly rubs & trust go along way. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me I will get back quickly. I am located in the Owens Cross Roads area currently, and my rates are very reasonable for in-home, loving, positive pet care Thank you I am looking forward to helping you care for your pet in your home or to just drop by to help if you simply can’t get out to walk /play with your pet. I’m here for you looking forward to the opportunity. Since my pup has crossed over the rainbow bridge I would have no problem coming to you to help you with your pet.

About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Owens Cross Roads on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 694 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Owens Cross Roads. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Owens Cross Roads stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Owens Cross Roads. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
