“Oliver is amazing! He was incredibly patient with my shy, slow to warm dog Tulip. I am super grateful for his friendly professional attentiveness and meeting with us 4x before the actual dog home sit days to get to know her. She bonded after the 5 nights with him. A very heart-warming successful Rover experience. So relieved to have a dependable and local dog sitter. Wr highly recommend Oliver!! 🤍🐶”
“This is the second time I have booked with Raymond, and he is outstanding! He consistently goes above and beyond for my pets, even washing the bed and towels on his own. He is very thoughtful, and I truly appreciate all of his extra touches.”
“Vicki was AMAZING! She came over with a pen and notepad and took meticulous notes on the care of our home and pup! She kept us posted while we were away and left our home SPOTLESS. I’d use and recommend Vicki a million times over!”
About: Hi there 🏜️ I have always been passionate about helping and caring for animals. I studied wildlife biology and currently work as a biologist. I am familiar with the needs of senior dogs, as I have an older fella. I am comfortable with administering medications to cats and dogs, and subcutaneous fluids to well-baved cats and dogs. I am an excellent communicator. I will provide a detailed written update on your pet's activities and mood on every visit and will share lots of photos, because I would expect the same level of care and attentiveness to my fuzz children if I couldn't be with them myself. I have three fuzz children of my own, Bear (dog, 15), Dakota (cat, 6), and Simba (cat, 6). They are my world! Going away for the weekend? Need a reliable sitter? My schedule is flexible on the weekends, so let's chat! My schedule during the week is very straightforward but a tad more limited time-wise. Im generally not available between 7:30am and 5:30pm. I can fit drop-ins or walks in the am or pm around those times during the week. I'd love to chat more to see how I could help out you and your fur family. I would love detailed instructions on your pet's routine to include info on any current medications, feeding schedule, walks, their triggers, etc. I'd like to maintain a routine that's as close to their normal routine as possible.
“Violeta sent pictures and emails frequently for me to feel sure that my girl was doing well. Whenever there was a question about something she was in touch to get it right.”
“Ashlee took great care of our pooches including our incredibly energetic German Shepherd puppy! Her communication, complete with pictures, was great as well. Plus she left our home in at least as good shape as we left it. We’d be happy to book her again!”
“I would definitely have Emma care for my dog again. From my first contact with her she was a responsive and clear communicator, as well as reliable. My dog is shy and took off when Emma arrived. Emma quickly worked to connect with her. I felt comfortable leaving my dog in Emma's care and having her stay in my home.”
“Highly recommend Mona — she made our somewhat anxious dog feel at ease, kept us well-informed and was a pleasure to work with. Our pup says she’d be happy to have Mona stay with her again.”
“Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Joshua watched my two labradors and house sat for me for 3 weeks over Christmas/ new years holiday. And I couldn’t be happier, he is a supper trustworthy guy who speaks fluent dog! My girls were happy and healthy after the long stay and even the plants looked healthier! I absolutely recommend him to take care of your baby’s!”
“Cheyenne was great.she was on time and took wonderful care of my dog who recently had surgery.she took him out and the house was clean when I got back.I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life and first started dog sitting as a teenager. I love animals and getting to know their individual personalities and how much joy they can add to our lives! Having the peace of mind that your fur-baby is safe and happy while you are away allows you to enjoy your trip to the fullest. I work part time remotely and pet care will easily fit into my everyday routine as I set my work hours and as such they are flexible I will provide whatever care is required for your pet’s wellbeing with love and patience. Whether they require special care, or just need a friend to walk around the neighborhood with I am happy to help!
“Caleb is always great! We came home late last night to a happy dog (and house) once again. Fantastic communication, reliable, you can count on him. I never worry when Caleb is on the job!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Agua Fria is $70
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Agua Fria
David is simply the best! We came to Santa Fe from Denver for a few days (Monday-Thursday) and we have 7 and 8 year old Border Terriers. Our male has epilepsy, and we do not leave him alone, so we hired David to watch them. David came on Monday night, Tuesday day, Tuesday night, Wednesday day and Wednesday night so that we could go out to dinner, go to the spa, etc. He stayed for several hours at a time, which was a big ask, especially since he has his own pup, but we couldn't ask for a better experience with him. He arrived on time or early, walked them, played with them, administered medications, gave them snacks and loved them! He sent us lots of videos and photos and updates, so we knew they were being taken care of and meds given, etc. He is also just a lovely person, and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He has a calming energy which was great for my boy with epilepsy. We won't hesitate to use him again if we go back to Santa Fe. Thank you so much David!
Oliver is amazing! He was incredibly patient with my shy, slow to warm dog Tulip. I am super grateful for his friendly professional attentiveness and meeting with us 4x before the actual dog home sit days to get to know her. She bonded after the 5 nights with him. A very heart-warming successful Rover experience. So relieved to have a dependable and local dog sitter. Wr highly recommend Oliver!! 🤍🐶
Angel is the best! Our flight was cancelled and our dogs would have been left alone for over 8 hours until we could finally return home on another flight. She came back to our house, feed them, let them outside and stayed with them for a few more hours. She is the best dog sitter we have ever hired and our dogs LOVE HER!
Elizabeth house sat for my two dogs and was just great. The dogs loved her, her communication was great, and she was able to handle the dogs meds and some stomach upsets. Really appreciated her attention to detail in terms of really doing what I specified re excercise, etc. I would trust her to take care of my pets anytime, and hope to rebook her next time.
Beth was amazing. I was traveling in Santa Fe and needed someone to stay with my little dog at the hotel while sightseeing. I am so thankful that Beth was available, and on short notice. She stayed with Jax and soothed him, and she also had great recommendations for ideas while here. I’d highly recommend her.
Thanks for your help during our trip, Bryce! Bryce was very professional and thorough- she was prompt with our meet and greet and asked great questions and was very proactive, professional, and kind. She took great care of our elderly pup and our house while we were away. We came home to a very happy dog and a spotless house! I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
Great first experience having Donna take care of our pups and home! She was prompt, communicative and very professional. She was proactive in reporting a problem in the yard that would have been a future security issue with an escape artist husky we have! We are happy to have found her.
Where do I start.....Mel is amazing, and wonderful, rolled up in dog whisper enchilada. He was the answer to my prayers as this is the first time leaving my 3 dogs with anybody, and using Rover. Three large rescue boys and they loved Mel. Mel included text and pictures the whole time I was away, providing me with a peace of mind. Great communication. He is my dream come true.

FAQs for House Sitting - Agua Fria
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Agua Fria on Rover is $48.24 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Agua Fria. 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 Agua Fria 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 Agua Fria 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 Agua Fria 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 Agua Fria. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
