“Jessica was really wonderful with our dogs! She was able to help our "emotional" dane eat while we were gone, which is truly difficult. Our dogs loved her. Will definitely request her again!”
About: I’ve been around all types of animals my whole life, including farm animals in Indiana 😁❤️ I grew up around A LOT of cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, chickens, etc I’m about halfway through pregnancy and can no longer fly for work. Due to this I am looking for a new fun job to get me out of the house. What better job than to get to play with animals all day?! My cat, Eevee, is the princess of the house. She gets unlimited pets and kisses daily. My stomach and chest are also her bed at night😂
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I was around 11. I used to pet sit in middle & high school:) I have trained all of my dogs. They regularly get complimented on their behavior in public. I work full-time. I am able to do early morning check-ins & afternoon to night visits or walks. I’m free weekends so I can drop by or walk anytime. I can spend as long as you’d like with your babies. A couple hours or just a quick potty break. I have three dogs & two cats with a fenced in yard. All my fur babies are friendly and love to play! They are crate trained & we have an extra crate for dogs needing it. So I’m no stranger to kennels or kennel training.
About: I’m a long time pet care taker of every capacity! In addition to having multiple pets of my own, I’ve been pet sitting for 24 years. I’ve cared for countless dogs and cats but also worked at 2 farms and have bird experience as well. I’ve handled many emergency situations with dogs and cats. I’d like to think I’m a pet whisperer and definitely am an animal lover to my core! I’m currently a stay at home mom of one 3 year old and my 8 year old is in school. Both of my boys are very gentle and kind with all the animals I babysit, quite a lot have come through our house! They’re very used to it and love it. We live on base in a house with a good size yard and plenty of walking paths. I’m a very happy to accommodate whatever amount of walking or playing that’s needed.
About: I have had many dog breeds as part of my family. I don’t mind dogs deemed as ‘dangerous’ breeds. I have experience with pit bulls. I’m energetic enough to keep up with puppies. I work part time in Alamogordo. But live in Tularosa-so either city works for me to care for your furry, feathered or scaly babies. I’m flexible I will play indoor and outside if caring for your dog(s). They will get spoiled and brushed (if long haired). They will get a lot of attention so they don’t feel lonely.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alamogordo
Naomi did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats while I was away for a trip. She took a lot of great pictures and gave daily reports of how they were when she saw them. She played with them and gave the attention they needed and regularly checked food, water, and the litterboxes. I would definitely request her again!
Mare did a fantastic job taking care of my cats. She was reliable and left great updates and photos for each dropin visit, which I greatly appreciated. We had some work going on at the house and she was always thinking about their well-being during the noise. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Alamogordo is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. 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 25 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Alamogordo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
