“We are so pleased to provide a recommendation for Misty as a house sitter/pet sitter. She took excellent care of our pets during our recent trip. She sent pictures and texts often which gave us comfort while we were gone. We look forward to using Misty on upcoming trips.”

“Great communication and she did a wonderful job taking care of our pets and home. Our dog and 2 cats were instantly very comfortable and she did a fantastic job keeping us posted on how they were doing during the stay. I highly recommend.”

“Five stars as always! Rita is great with our girls and has been very helpful as our cat has been on some new medications recently. When we leave, we have peace of mind when Rita takes care of our pets. She comes when she says she will, takes photos, and communicates often. We are beyond glad that we met her.”

“Danny did a great job taking care of our home, adult cat, and kitten. I’m not sure the cats even noticed we were gone, and the house was in a better state than we left it. Our time away was so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the check-ins and pictures. We’ll definitely use Danny again the next time we travel.”

About: Before moving to Albuquerque I worked at a veterinary clinic. Now I work at a doggy daycare/ boarding with cats and animals. I absolutely adore every animal and am willing to work with them no matter their age, size, or behavior I work mainly in the morning and would love to walk dogs during the afternoon. I have days off during the week I would love to walk dog’s during. I live in an apartment with a dog park my dogs love going to. We also have a park a 5 minute walk away. We love finding new dog parks or just parks so I know where many are. I know huge hated parks for dogs to just run in, s dog parks for small socialization or big dog parks full of dogs. I use to work at a vet clinic so if anything major happens I am prepared to handle most situations.
“Kat was amazing at house & pet sitting. She was very communicative, sent pics and updates appropriately, and left our pets happy and home just as it was before she arrived. I highly recommend her!”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Savanah! She was such a good friend to our pups that they forgot to miss us. Savanah sent tons of update and pics so we got to enjoy our trip and not worry about things at home. Hope to book her again and again and again.”

“This is the second time Lydia has sat for us. We are so grateful for her care and love for our pups! She's sweet, attentive to details and a trustworthy person. Our dog ended up chewing some fabric and throwing up and she handled the situation in a way that didn't make us panic. Our flight got delayed and she offered to stay longer with our dogs. The house was sparkling clean. She's our number one sitter! Thank you Lydia ❤️”

“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”

About: I've taken care of animals who needed insulin twice a day, I grew up taking care of the cat who gave birth in my apartment and I've always had an animal in my life, they deserve all the vacay time you get! I currently am studying to work from home and I do most of my studying online, if you have wifi or a little cafe close to home I can give your pet(s) all the care they need! I've been with crated animals as well as animals who have their own bed they sleep in every night I'm used to routine and am good at adapting to their schedule!
“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!”

About: Caring for all animals. Fur babies large and small. Young and old alike. Barn animals… horses,mini horses,goats chickens and donkeys. Of course your kitty too. We do reptiles. Finding one’s self with little to do after retirement, caring for animals just fit in so well and what a stress reliever these fur babies are. 😄 I have double fenced in areas, with all sizes of houses. My preference is to care for animals in their own environments. They are Less stressed at home.😉
“Jessica was great with our two pups! She followed all instructions including feeding and meds, and the house was left immaculately. I would definitely have her babysit again.”


“Colleen was amazing with our dogs and our home. She took care of our pups as if they were her own! Colleen sent pictures and communicated with us frequently and replied to our texts promptly.”

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.
“I have a rowdy 1 year old pup, an older dog, and a bunch of chickens and she cared for all while we were out of town for a week. The house was clean and animals were all happy and healthy when we returned. She was communicative with us and vdry kind and caring to our pets. Sarah went above and beyond and I would definitely hire her again!”

“Jo was a very competent pet sitter. She pet and house sat for us for 10 days and we were very pleased with the pictures she sent of our pets being well cared for. I would recommend Jo for future pet sitting jobs.”
About: If there's anything that I can brighten my day, it's seeing a happy dog! Since I was young I have always had a soft heart for all animals. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, and I will advocate for them however I can. I have cared for many dogs of my own over the years, as well as for others. Your fur babies will get as much love as I give my own. Caring for animals has always brought me a deep sense of comfort and joy. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets or those who need a little extra attention, patience, and care. I recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years to cutaneous lymphoma, which required attentive, around-the-clock care, including carefully timed medications and a thoughtfully managed diet tailored to his health needs. He was truly a member of my family, and his loss has left a significant space in my life—one of the reasons I’ve chosen to join Rover. I’m very attentive, protective, and detail-oriented when it comes to an animal’s well-being. My experience has also led me to learn extensively about canine health, particularly cancer prevention and supportive care. Caring for animals is important to me, as I know completely how worrisome it can be to give your baby to someone else and hope they get the same love and care. I have always been very cautious with my pets in any situation and this is one of the reasons I joined Rover. I understand the nervousness of giving someone else the responsibility of your beloved pet, and if I can be that relief to someone else then I would love to! The attention, detail, and care I put into them reflects my fees. Since my dog has passed, I truly miss the simple joys of daily walks and spending time outside with a dog, and I look forward to providing loving, reliable care for yours. I currently work on a project basis and have full availability, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and play. I don’t have other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m home most of the day, providing a calm and consistent environment. I also enjoy taking walks, especially when visiting family in the Four Hills area, which offers great opportunities for outdoor time. I do go to the gym regularly, but I’m typically only away for about an hour, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special requests. I’m attentive to details, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and provide regular updates so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I have also been accepted as an APS substitute teacher, so I have passed an extensive background check. Along with dog sitting, my background also includes a professional career in the film industry, teaching English in Spain with families, and caring for a farm in Hawaii. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment with plenty of supervision, comfort, and affection. I ensure pets have a safe space to relax, access to fresh water, and appropriate exercise and enrichment based on their energy level and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I’m mindful during walks (leash safety, surroundings, avoiding hazards), and I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior or higher-needs pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.
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 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.

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 Augustine 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 Augustine 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Augustine 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.
