“Samantha was absolutely wonderful looking after my dog, Micha. She was incredibly attentive and took her on long walks, which Micha absolutely loved. She also provided plenty of care, affection, and attention every single time she came to the house to pick her up. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing Micha was in such great hands. I will definitely use her services again!”

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for animals. Throughout my pet-sitting journey, I’ve had the pleasure of caring not only for furry four-legged friends, but also barn animals, reptiles, rodents, and aquatic pets. I am a reliable, communicative, loving, and attentive sitter who provides not just the experience your pet needs, but also the love, care, and peace of mind every pet parent deserves. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care and flexible scheduling. I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept to ensure each pet receives my full attention, so early reservations are recommended. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. I maintain a clean, secure environment and closely monitor behavior to ensure comfort and well-being. I provide regular updates with photos and detailed communication so you feel confident and informed while you’re away.
“Azucena (Zu) took such great care of Titi over the weekend! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing Titi was in good hands. She followed all instructions perfectly, kept us updated with pictures and videos, and showed so much love and attention to Titi, especially important since she’s a senior dog. We could tell Titi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Zu went above and beyond, and we truly appreciated her communication and kindness. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring. Thank you so much, Zu! ❤️”
About: All my childhood until my adulthood I had many pets of different types, my mother is an animal rescuer/protector so she taught me a lot I can walk them several times a day and also play with them every day of the week so that they have a nice lifestyle I'm always attentive to them, to change their water/food, walks home Short periods of time, seeing what they do and playing with them and also taking care of them if they are sick
About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)
About: I’ve cared for dogs, birds, reptiles and cats since I was 5 years old. Especially my dog who lived a long healthy life for 18 years. I will treat your pets like they are my own family and make sure they are safe and happy to the best of my ability. I currently have my own remote business so my schedule is very flexible and I can make adjustments quite easily. Mondays through Fridays are my preferred days, so I can have personal time on weekends, but there can be exceptions. I will take notes, requests and follow instructions thoroughly. The well being and needs of your pets is my top priority, and I will treat your home with respect.
About: I’m a very loving and attentive person who truly cares for animals as if they were my own. I understand that your pets are part of your family, and I treat them with the same kindness, patience, and affection they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making your furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved My schedule is very very flexible for pet care because I am a ballet teacher and only work a couple of hours in the afternoon I am very very careful and detail-oriented, always keeping everything clean and organized. Your pet will enjoy a safe, hygienic, and loving environment with me.
“Rebecca is lovely. She was punctual, responsive and took great care of our two pups. We received multiple updates and photos during the sitting and felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. I highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Samantha came and loved on the dogs wonderfully! In fact one of my dogs still seems sad that she is no longer spoiling him rotten. I was able to go on a trip without any worries, knowing she was there to love on them. When I returned from the trip, after hearing all the stories of time spent with my dogs I knew Samantha really got to know all of my dogs personalities and loved them well.”
About: Animal lover, pet-less at the moment, but with lots of animals in my life. I have plenty of love, patience, cuddles, and care to give to your furry family member, big or small. I know how important and stressful finding a reliable place or a trustworthy person is. For over 20 years now neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to take care of their beloved pets at their house or mine. I have a very welcoming home with couches to surf, plenty of laps to sit on, lots of treats(or not), walks and playtime. My backyard is enclosed and the community has lots of green areas, several parks, fun walks and a dog park just a car ride away. I don’t mind traveling. I have taken care of two potbelly pigs, two donkeys, a squirrel, and two cats up in Archer, FL. Five cats and an African Gray parrot in Orlando. Several cats and dogs at their homes and mine, and whenever I can, I escape to my friend’s farm to help with the care of their horses. My grand-dog, April, loves to visit and get spoiled! Give me the opportunity to show you how well and at home your baby will feel! I work part-time from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I set up beds in the living room and in my office. I also do pottery, and I have my wheel in an enclosed patio with a rug right next to it for my special helpers! I do a walk in the morning and another one about an hour after breakfast followed by some playtime. Then I do bathroom breaks every two hours or as needed. After noon, I work on my pottery and do some gardening in my fenced backyard. Rest assured your pet will never be outside unsupervised. Late afternoon I take them for a longer walk, a bathroom break after dinner, and again before bed. I make sure your baby is active and well exercised, with plenty of time for play, rest, and cuddles! And of course, I will also follow any schedule or routine they may have. I have a pet friendly home with an enclosed patio and fenced backyard, but rest assured your pup will never be left outside unsupervised. Your pet is welcomed on our couches, our laps, and any part of the house they wish to be in. If I have to go out, and no one else is home, I will leave the TV on with relaxing music or pet friendly content playing. I don’t own a crate, but you’re welcome to bring one if your baby is used to staying or sleeping in one. They are welcome to sleep in any of our bedrooms. I usually don’t allow them on my bed but my daughter will be ever so happy to oblige! If I’m caring for your beloved at your home, I will follow any rules you have set up for them, even sleeping with them if necessary!

About: I’ve been around and cared for animals for most of my life. In high school, I was part of the Veterinary Science Magnet Program at Felix Varela, where I earned my CVA certification and studied veterinary science and animal care. I also spent around three years training dogs through the program. During my senior year, I completed an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I got about two years of hands-on experience working as a vet tech. I fostered throughout high school and for a while after, which gave me experience caring for pets with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. I have experience with pets of all different sizes and ages and I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, basic training, and of course giving them plenty of attention and love. Having pets of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of them. I currently work part-time and am also in school, but I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and other care depending on what you and your pet need. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, leash safety, doors and gates, and any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Crossings
I have to admit I was super nervous leaving my boys for 2 weeks, especially with my cat having congestive heart failure but Ruth was wonderful and followed instructions, came back to our home and the boys looking great. Thank you Ruth, I will be rebooking you again.
I highly recommend this pet sitter and trainer. With a college education in canine and feline care, she provides much more than basic pet sitting. Every interaction is used to encourage good behavior and discourage unwanted habits. Dog walks become valuable training opportunities, and drop-in visits include both mental and physical enrichment. Her knowledge, professionalism, and dedication help create a positive, structured environment where pets can thrive.
I highly recommend Karla to watch your fur babies! She’s so sweet and very attentive. She did such an amazing job staying with my 3 dogs. I felt so at ease with them being under her care while I was away traveling. She stayed in touch with me, sent updates, and photos which I greatly appreciate. Thank you Karla!!!
Stephanie was absolutely amazing! She accepted my Rover booking on very short notice, just a few days before the service, which immediately gave me so much relief. From the start, she was communicative, professional, trustworthy, and incredibly reliable. She took such great care of my pups and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for when I returned home. It was obvious they felt comfortable with her, and they warmed up to her right away — which says everything. Not only were my dogs happy, but my home was also left very tidy and well cared for. Stephanie truly went above and beyond, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and attentive sitter. I would absolutely book with her again!
This is the second time she’s helped us out and it honestly feels amazing leaving our dogs with someone we trust completely. We never worry about them for a second. If anything, I almost feel guilty because we trust her so much that we literally forget we even own dogs… at least I do 😂 She’s the best and we couldn’t recommend her more.
Stephanie was an outstanding sitter for our dog and cat during our two-week trip. She sent frequent photo and video updates. She quickly mastered their routines and won over our cat who ended up seeking her out for cuddles at night. She went above and beyond coordinating a delivery with our landlord, and leaving the house clean. Our dog was relaxed and happy the entire time, and the cat was clearly loved. We came home to two very content pets and total peace of mind. We highly recommend Stephanie! 🐾
Sandra is simply AMAZING! I honestly felt like I was leaving my fur baby with family. She took such wonderful care of my doodle, showering him with love and attention. The detailed updates she sent telling me about what he was doing, how he was feeling, and even what he ate, put my mind completely at ease. I’m so happy to have found Sandra, and from now on, she’s the only one I’ll trust with my pet! Thank you, Sandra, for being so genuine, kind, and truly passionate about animals. You’ve earned a lifelong client in me! :-)

FAQs for House Sitting - The Crossings
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in The Crossings is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,971 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across The Crossings. 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 The Crossings 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 The Crossings 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 The Crossings 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in The Crossings. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
