“Whitney was the best choice I could’ve ever made or had for watching my sweet Charlie. I hadn’t ever used Rover so I was a bit nervous. Whitney kept in contact with me, sent me pics of my sweet Charlie, and went above and beyond. I couldn’t sing her praises enough! I already told her I want to rebook with her in a few months when I go out of town again. Absolutely recommend her!!”
“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!!”
“Faris was absolutely amazing. Communication was top tier. He sent pictures and videos throughout the night and I could see how passionate he is about animals. I 100% recommend. I’ll be sure to book him again if I ever need his services.”
“Martina stayed in our home with our dog for a few days and took incredible care of him. Our dog had recently had TPLO knee surgery and was also recovering from an infection that was in his suture area. She gave him his daily medications, applied warm compresses on his leg each day, kept him leashed for daily backyard walks as directed by our vet so that he wouldn’t run or jump on his new knee, sent us updates and photos, and stayed near him while he had to continue wearing an e-collar. She gave him supervised time so he didn’t have to wear the “cone of shame” 24/7. We had incredible peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in such good hands. The house was as clean or cleaner than we had left it.”
“Chelsea was great and treated my pup like it was her own. She did everything I asked and kept my dog safe and happy while I was gone. I felt very comfortable leaving her with my dog and house for a few days and would definitely choose her again when I need a dog sitter!”
“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.”
“Excellent care of my pet and he was so happy. She kept my fresh as well Sent daily pictures and made my Digs tail wag. I will use every time I need a sitter. Beautiful person.”
“Alicia was amazing. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and helped us out with a last minute trip. The dogs seemed to love her and they were well taken care of.”
“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”
“Lorie was great with our two standard poodles. She let us tell her all about thier weird needs and didn't judge us. We felt very comfortable and we're able to really enjoy ourselves without worrying about our boys.”
“Christina is fabulous, and our dogs were very happy! We have a special needs, fully blind dog and Christina jumped right in with all the odd aspects of care. We are so grateful!”
“Onrae met with us twice before we left on vacation to meet the dogs and then orient himself with our house sitting needs. Onrae stayed in good communication with us while we were gone for 6 days, including photos. When we returned home, the house was exactly how we left it and the dogs were happy and healthy.”
“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!”
“Shakti is an amazing pet/house sitter! She is responsive and thorough, and she took great care of our dog and two cats. She followed instructions and went above and beyond by trying to mediate the ongoing drama we have between our two cats. We will definitely use her services again!”
“We love Patricia! She was amazing with our Frenchie and Golden. Sent lots of photos while we were away and didn't hesitate to ask questions...which I love. Would definitely recommend and will happily use her again for our next trip.”
“Savanah cared for our border collie mix for an extended stay as a house sitter while we traveled. Our experience with her as his caregiver was very positive. She made a point of coming to meet us twice in preparation for the long stay, studied and implemented the detailed instructions of his habits and care that we provided, sent us daily brief updates and photos of his activities, and left the house in very good condition. Savanah is a calm and pleasant young woman who appears to be honest, reliable and diligent. She initially had to administer medication to our dog for a persistent cough, and he was well when we returned. We highly recommend her for the care of your beloved pets. We would definitely employ her again for our dog’s care.”

I had a wonderful experience with Robyn! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, took him out for walks, and kept me updated with lots of great pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands while I was away. I really appreciated the communication and the extra care she put into making sure he was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Bernalillo is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $89 per night.

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 Bernalillo 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 Bernalillo 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 Bernalillo 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.
