“Whitney did a great job caring for my elderly dog Dillon. I came home to a clean and tidy house and more importantly a very happy and relaxed dog. I highly recommend Whitney.”
“Sarah stayed with our dogs for a week. She took excellent care of them and provided detailed updates. She really connected with our furry friends and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was caring for them. She also ensured our outdoor plants survived the July temps! Highly recommend!!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving Becky in charge of our 2 dogs (one elderly who needs meds daily), 2 cats, 21 chickens and turkeys, and horse. The house looked lovely when we returned and the animals seemed comfortable and content. We will definitely ask her for farm sit again!”
“Abigail did an excellent job taking care of Dudley and my home. She is trustworthy and professional. I will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Quinn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He was also flexible in setting up a time to do a meet and greet before we left. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was in excellent shape upon our return. Quinn was very thoughtful and tidy and even started laundry for his bedding and towels before we got home.”
“Amber took good care of our pets. This was our first time using rover and a non family member to take care of our pets while away. Amber made me feel at ease and was really sweet and patient with our pets.”
“Birdie was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our pup and was so easy to work with! She sent daily photos and our pup really loved her. We’ll be booking again and would highly recommend!”
“Daniel was great with our dog Lola, took her walking and running and making her special breakfast and dinner! Kitties did great even though one did hide for a while which is her norm. House was left very clean and I really appreciate his daily updates.Will definitely use again!!”
“Cassandra is an excellent dog sitter! She was willing to do two meet n greets prior to watching my dog for a week. She gave me daily updates, pictures, walked him, and even bathed him. I highly recommend her!”
About: Welcome to my pet sitting page! I'm a life long animal caregiver and owner. I have owned rescued dogs to the more exotic pets in my 24 years of animal care experiences. I have experience with puppies/puppy training and those dogs of many grey hairs (senior) who may need a little extra support. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide pet services during the day or night most days of the week. Our beautiful mountain home sits on 2 acres of land. 1 fully fenced acre with high fencing and dog door access 24/7. If your furry friend DIGS UNDER or has history of ESCAPING fencing I will not be able to accommodate their stay. The property is natural mountain landscape (no cement or asphalt). I have one younger dog named Mackie to keep your pups company if boarded. She has a friendly and playful disposition along with a calm demeanor in the home good for any visiting dog.
“Taylor was great! She stepped in at last minute for an overnight with my dog and 2 elderly cats . Great energy, easy going/ flexible, great communication and sent pics. House and little ones were well cared for / attended to. I would absolutely ask Taylor to stay in the future !”
“Arman was absolutely wonderful. He provided great care for our large Akita. Arman walked our dog Max regularly. He fed Max and gave him his medication on schedule and Arman provided us with regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Arman F. !”
“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”
“Lily was great! Our dogs love basically everyone but they rarely feel at home enough to nap and snuggle with the sitter. We got lots of pictures throughout the day of them doing just that, comfortable enough to snuggle and nap all day. Definitely will have her watch them again!”
About: Hi, my name is Sam. I am in the Albuquerque area and would be happy to help you with your pets. I have tons of experience with animals including volunteering for cat adoption days with PACA, rehoming abandoned animals, petsitting special needs animals, fostering, agility and show dog training, and behavioral training with dogs. I also have a passion for my fish hobby :) due to this app being a little odd with keeping a lot of our pay lets discuss on our own time a good solid plan ahead with your furry friend that way everyone is happy :) I am available in the afternoons up to the early evenings. However, I can make an exception for some early morning check-ins or walks. Just feel free to ask first! Because I work from home, I am more flexible when it comes to extended periods of pet-sitting as long as I have a quiet place to work. Whatever instructions and guidance I am given I am happy to respect and adhere to those rules when it comes to being in someone else's space or if they are coming to my house. In my own home, it is calm, quiet, with a gated area in the back patio with a garden. The animals are free to move about in the house. I do not have a backyard per se but the back patio is a decent size and secure for dogs to do their business and relax for a bit. I do not have animals of my own at the moment.
“Audrey went above and beyond. She made sure that all my animals were well taken care of. My dog ivy barked at her for two days straight and she didn't let that phase her she just showed ivy that she can be trusted. She also took very good care of our elderly dog. We definitely recommend Audrey for caring for any pet.”
About: I have been a dog owner myself. I had 10 great years with my cattle dog named Magenta. She was an explorer and adventurer by my side. I am a counselor, nature lover, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I am also an artist, writer, and traveler. I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me to pet sit part time and enjoy connecting with pets. I grew up in Montana and Wyoming, spent time in Spain, Costa Rica, Colorado, and more. I am grateful to be living close to the mountains. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work from home as a counselor and spend a lot of time with the pups I love getting out for walks to break up the day, and caring for your pets is top of mind. As each situation varies a bit, the prices may not be exactly accurate when quoted. Please inquire. I am available to pet and house sit in your home. I have 15 years of experience pet and house sitting, and treat your space with the same level of cleanliness, care, and respect as I would my own. I am clean and tidy and will leave your home the way I find it.
About: Since a kid I've been surrounded by dogs. I was taught young how to care for and interact with them. Since then I've always had pets and made sure they lived the best lives they possibly could. While I don't have any sort of specialized skills when it comes to pet care I do have plenty of experience. The majority of my adult life has been spent in the military and security industry. Giving me the required skills to provide a safe and secure environment for your fur child. I am currently working part time with a very open schedule. I'm free most days except from the times of 5pm to 8pm usually. Leaving me plenty of time to check on your pets. I have an enclosed yard with two dogs at home. One small and one big. Both very friendly and would love a trip with your pup to the nearby park.
“Syanne did an amazing job taking care of our 3 fur babies. She was so patient with them and won them over easily. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were receiving great care. Syanne was always available and gave updates while we were away. We will definitely use her services again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 652 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Algodones. 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 Algodones 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 Algodones 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 Algodones 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
