“Kacie did a fantastic job when watching our 3 dogs. We have 1 dog that is extremely anxious and usually takes 2-3 visits from someone before she will even go near them. But Kacie was able to get close to her and pet her on the 1st visit. By the end of the day, the other 2 were just laying at her feet enjoying her company. She sent tons of pictures and I could tell she spent time with them and let them have some fun outside. And when she did have a concern about the anxious dog, she reached out, and we discussed some potential solutions which showed me she was genuinely concerned about the welfare of the dogs, and not afraid to ask for help with the more difficult dog. I will for sure being calling on Kacie again.”

“Jes was so great as a sitter and a house guest. Always on schedule, very communicative and clean and thoughtful even with managing a fluffy dog coming in and out in the NYC winter rain. Would have her back anytime!”

About: Animal lover since birth & I got it honest. My mom is a cat person & my dad is a dog person, so I’ve taken care of many throughout childhood. Sisters brought home class pets we all enjoyed having around. Now as an adult I foster animals in need. From baby through senior, I’m good with all ages & breeds. I currently have a flexible schedule. Check ups, potty breaks, feeding, & play time will be no trouble. I mostly have my phone on person, so getting in touch with me is quick & easy. I live in a wonderful, friendly apartment complex with my cat & husband. The property has 2 fenced in dog parks, sidewalks great for walks with plenty of poop stations around. Bigger dog park with miles of walking/ biking trails just 5 mins down the road. All animals being taken care of are seen as my own & respectful of any wishes you have during our arrangement. I look forward to meeting you & your pet(s).

About: Dogs are my favorite, I have not lived a year of my life without a loving pup, I've had all sorts of dogs of varying breeds and sizes and I am very comfortable with any and all dogs! Lap dogs are my favorite, especially the big pups who are just trying to fit in with the small ones. All dogs make me happy, when I see their smiling faces I just remember all of the things that I love about them. If needed I can bathe and brush your dog and at this moment I am working on potty training/ house breaking my 3 month old puppy, named Boone, and i am also comfortable with doing that for you while you're away or at work.

About: Personal experience with pets and sitting for friends. From walking, bathing, and any other routine that is important to your dog, I am dedicated to keeping your dog comfortable. I am currently a part-time student which gives me a flexible schedule. My preferred timeframe is between 7:30-10:30 for drop-ins but am open to discussing earlier check-in times. I aim to keep your pets' schedule as close to normal as possible while providing them the care and attention they need. I will send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and provide any relevant info on their care.

About: For 15 years, I've been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—and I believe every pet deserves a little VIP treatment! Think of my approach as a mix of loving home, pet spa, and adventure camp. Whether your pet loves belly rubs, puppy massages, squeaky toys, long walks, outdoor adventures, or simply curling up for a cozy nap, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I've cared for energetic puppies, helped reinforce basic puppy training over an extended stay, and provided gentle, compassionate care for a senior dog during his final days. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels. My home is pet-ready with a toy box, cozy orthopedic dog bed, treats (with your approval!), and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for fresh air and people-watching. There's even a dog park just a short walk from my back door! I also enjoy taking pets on adventures—from neighborhood walks and nearby trails to scenic car rides when the weather isn't ideal, always with your permission. Need a special meal prepared, a bath, medication administered according to your instructions, or extra TLC? Let's talk about your pet's needs and what I can comfortably accommodate. My goal is simple: Your pet should feel like they're on vacation while you're away—and you should feel confident they're in loving hands. I primarily work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and personalized care throughout the day. I typically plan walks, potty breaks, and playtime every 3–4 hours, but I'm happy to adjust based on your pet's age, energy level, health, and established routine. My days can include morning walks, afternoon play sessions, cuddle breaks, enrichment activities, and evening wind-down time. For pets who enjoy exploring, I'm always up for an approved outdoor adventure or scenic car ride! Because I'm home much of the day, your pet won't just be waiting around for attention. They'll be part of my daily routine, with plenty of opportunities for interaction, exercise, rest, and affection. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a professional couch companion, I'll work to make their stay feel comfortable, familiar, and fun. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved family member in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility seriously. In my home: Pets enjoy a comfortable, welcoming apartment with toys, an orthopedic dog bed, cozy resting spots, and a supervised balcony with artificial grass for enjoying fresh air. There's a dog park just outside my building, and I provide regular walks and outdoor play based on your pet's needs and comfort level. I follow your instructions regarding feeding, treats, medications, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and routines. I always ask about allergies, dietary restrictions, behavioral considerations, and anything that might make your pet anxious or uncomfortable. In your home: I respect your space and your pet's established routine. My goal is to keep their environment familiar and minimize disruption while providing reliable, attentive care. I never assume that every pet enjoys the same activities. Dog parks, trail walks, car rides, interactions with other animals, and special treats are always discussed with you first. I'm also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and affection—as though they're part of my own family.

About: Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for the past 20 years. This year I lost both of my fur babies, one due to cancer and the other due to old age and mobility issues. My love and compassion for animals will continue on and hopefully allow me to help others with their petcare needs. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life—from playful puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of attention to senior dogs who need extra comfort, care, and understanding. 🐶 Caring for puppies and helping them adjust to routines and new environments 🦴 Providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs 🐕 Handling both small and large breeds 🏡 Maintaining feeding, walking, potty, and medication routines as instructed ❤️ Providing plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, and one-on-one attention 👀 Closely monitoring pets for changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or overall well-being 🐾 Following each pet parent's instructions and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible 😊 Understanding that some dogs are energetic and playful while others are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience 🐾 My Work Schedule and Availability I work a full-time job, with the flexibility to work from home two out of my five workdays. I’m available for pet care during evenings and weekends, and I can often adapt to other schedules when needed with advance notice. I understand that every pet and pet parent has different scheduling needs, so I do my best to be flexible and dependable. Whether you need evening visits, weekend care, or a customized schedule arranged ahead of time, I’m happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort level. Before beginning care, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, behavior, favorite activities, and any special instructions. I follow your directions carefully and maintain familiar routines whenever possible to help your pet feel safe and relaxed. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I supervise pets closely, use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, check doors and gates before leaving, and keep potentially harmful items out of reach. I also pay attention to weather conditions, your pet’s energy level, and any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. If I notice anything unusual, I will contact you promptly and follow your preferred emergency instructions. I understand that welcoming a pet sitter into your home requires trust. I treat every home with care and respect, follow household guidelines, and keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. I provide regular updates, including messages and photos when requested, so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

About: I’m a loving, responsible, and attentive pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and believes they deserve the same patience, care, and affection they receive from their own family. I was raised around dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Being around dogs from a young age has taught me how to be patient with different personalities, recognize when a pet may be uncomfortable or need extra attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Most importantly, I genuinely care about the animals I look after. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me. They’re someone’s family, and I treat them that way. Pet sitting is currently a part-time job for me, as I do have another job. I’ll primarily be available on weekends, but as I build my clientele, I hope to expand my availability and offer more flexible dates, including Sunday evenings and additional days for repeat clients. I’ll always do my best to work with your schedule and provide dependable care when you need it! I’m open to providing a variety of pet care services, including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. While I’m unable to board pets in my own home because I have my own pet, I’m more than happy to care for pets in their home where they’re most comfortable. When caring for your pet in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your house rules and your pet’s routine, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’ll give your pet plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while making sure their food, water, medications, potty breaks, and other needs are handled according to your instructions. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away.

About: Hey Hey, My name is Alexis Boat. I am a former student at North Carolina A&T State University studying Animal Science. While as a student, I also worked in an Animal Shelter where I was able to learn about various types of information for both domestic and farm animals. In 2020, I was laid off of my job due to the COVID-19 outbreak and decided to start my own boarding business. I’m addition, Rover has always been a way for me to be around animals and help their parents as they need. I have two big dogs of my own, Brandi, who is a one year old Black Labrador Mix and Bruno, who is a one year old Beagle Australian Shepard Mix. My dogs have blessed my life to no end. They are extremely spoiled and I only make sure that they have THE BEST treatment from everyone. With that being said It is important to me to take care of others’ pets as I would do my own because they are our family! I cannot wait to meet your fur baby and get in contact with you soon! I also am owner of a photography and videography service. Fortunately, I determine my own hours. With that being said, I am open with availability. I allow dogs to have fun, and play with supervision. Allowing dogs to be themselves such as sniffing and roaming (to an extent) allows stress so these dogs are more than free to be their lively selves. and I do own dog crates and they will be crated by OWNERS REQUEST ONLY.

About: I take care of my own dog at home so you can trust that I will take amazing care of your dog. They are like family! I enjoy staying active and love daily walks—especially spending time at my nearby park with my dog, Fancy. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable by sticking to their routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of quality time. I care for my own dog at home, so you can trust that your pup will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention as my own.

I am very thankful to have a remote job that can follow me anywhere. I work flexible hours that give me plenty of time to give your babies all the love and attention they need while you’re away. I offer in house pet sitting, medication administration, even trained to offer any injectable medication required. I’m huge on sending my clients photos and updates on their pets throughout my stay and keeping them just as connected. I value a one on one to make your animal love me like second mom.

About: I’ve loved animals throughout my life and have always been comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including very large breeds. I grew up with a German Shepherd and have spent years interacting with dogs through family, friends, and my work in clients’ homes. When I worked in housekeeping, many of my clients had large dogs, so I became comfortable entering and working in homes where dogs were present while respecting their space, routines, and boundaries. I’m comfortable getting down on the floor to play, giving a dog time to warm up to me, and paying attention to their body language rather than forcing interaction. I’m not a dog trainer, and my focus is not training. My goal is simple: to provide attentive, dependable care and make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I work a rotating 2-2-3 night-shift schedule, which gives me several days off each week. My availability varies by work cycle, but I can accommodate pet-care visits throughout the week when scheduled around my work hours and rest time. My approach to pet care is calm, attentive, and affectionate. I follow your pet’s established routine for meals, bathroom breaks, and other needs. Expect plenty of affection, playtime, companionship, and a relaxed presence. I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while keeping their comfort and safety a priority.

FAQs for House Sitting - Wittys Crossroads

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Wittys Crossroads is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $58 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 November 2026, there are 829 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wittys 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 Wittys 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 Wittys 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 Wittys 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 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 Wittys Crossroads. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
