Jennifer stayed with our dog and two cats for a few hours while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with, asked important questions about what our animals needed, was timely, and flexible with our changing schedules. Our animals were comfortable in her presence, and didn't seem to miss us at all when we got home. We would definitely recommend Jennifer as a pet sitter.

Brooke was just fabulous with all my fur babies! She is patient, inquisitive, kind and caring. She was in very in tune with my all four of my fur babies’ needs, and was responsive to my questions both in person and via the phone/text. Brooke caught on quickly to all their little idiosyncrasies and took it all in stride. I have had a dog that is terrified of any type of rainstorms. She can tell that a storm is coming when it’s two hours away! So, she needs her meds, her thundershirt and she needs understanding when it comes to getting her in her safe space. She even stayed calm when my cat brought her a mouse. None of my fur babies appeared to miss me at all! She sent me daily updates, considered each pet’s individual needs, and took good care of my home. My home is not easy to manage, but she handled it very well. My family loved the stories I shared from Brooke while I was on vacation with. I would highly for anyone’s pet sitting needs.

Lizzy was great with our elderly dog. She has multiple daily meds and a special diet, and actually got a little bit sick while we were gone. Lizzy was kind and patient with her. We got daily updates and pictures and felt totally comfortable while we were away. Zeba was happy and relaxed when we got back and had obviously been well cared for. We'll definitely use Lizzy again!

We had an amazing experience with Jesse! She took wonderful care of both our dog and our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, super kind with our pets, and clearly loved spending time with them. She even surprised our dog with some plush toys before she left, which meant so much to us. When we came back, both of our pets were completely relaxed and happy, which says everything about the level of care they received. On top of pet care, she was a huge help with things around the house when they came up and shared really helpful advice for managing our dog’s allergies. We truly felt supported the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier with her care and will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip. Highly recommend.

About: Caring for dogs isn't just something I do. It's something I'm genuinely passionate about. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, from young puppies learning routines to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each pet's unique needs. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering oral medications, crate training, basic puppy training, leash walking, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I'm also attentive to changes in behavior or health and believe it's important to catch anything unusual early and communicate it with owners right away. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I make it my priority to provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they feel comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Communication is very important to me. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own and give owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is already a major part of my daily routine. My day is structured around caring for dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding fits naturally into my schedule. Because I'm already following consistent routines for feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and cleaning, I'm able to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, extra exercise, medication, or simply companionship, I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I make sure every pet is in a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel relaxed and stress-free. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and overall well-being so I can quickly notice if something seems off and communicate right away. In my care, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I supervise interactions, provide structured playtime, and ensure a safe environment at all times—especially when introducing pets to new surroundings or other animals. I also respect the client’s home fully when providing in-home care, keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I understand how important trust is when someone allows you to care for their pet or enter their home, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, while giving owners complete peace of mind through clear communication and reliable care.

Amanda was a godsend when our house sitter cancelled last minute. We met her first then her with her dog, Sedona, and I knew right away this would work out really well. You see my dog, Millie, doesn’t warm up to people easily and doesn’t always play nice with other dogs but Millie instantly liked both of them. Amanda stayed at our house along with Sedona, so Millie was spoiled having her two new friends stay with her. They went on many walks and Amanda sent me lots of pictures while we were gone. I will definitely use Amanda again!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ross Crossing

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 829 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ross Crossing. 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 Ross Crossing 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 Ross Crossing 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 Ross Crossing 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 Ross Crossing. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
