“Misty is extraordinary! She took incredible care of our pets while we were out of the country for two weeks. She sent daily photos and updates telling us and showing us just how well our pets were doing. After our initial meeting, I had every confidence in leaving our pets and home in Misty’s capable hands. I was able to go on vacation without worrying. If you are on the fence about a pet sitter, Misty is the one you want to watch your fur babies.”
“When Leah came for the meet and greet, I had a good sense that my precious Luna would be in good hands. Leah stayed at my home for three and a half days while I was out of town in Seattle. She provided excellent care for my playful, high-energy Luna. Leah followed Luna’s care and feeding routine to the letter and sent me daily photos and video clips of them playing fetch and enjoying plenty of quality time together. Leah also went above and beyond by watering both my indoor and outdoor plants and bringing in the daily mail. Coming home to a spotless house, freshly washed sheets, and a calm, happy pup was such a wonderful feeling and made my return a real joy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leah and will absolutely reach out to her the next time I travel.”
“I was very pleased with how Hannah took care of my puppy and my home. Puppy kept thriving and she kept up with his daily training. It was a lot to ask for a long period of time.”
“We will definitely be hoping that Ryan is available the next time we need someone to stay! Everything went great. Animals loved him, great communication. Could not have gone better. Thank you so much Ryan!”
“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.”
“Svetlana took great care of our girl while we were away. She sent updates and pictures and was also very respectful of our space. We came home to a happy and healthy pup and would definitely rebook her :)”
“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. !”
“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!!”
“Greg was just as fantastic as I expected him to be. He treated my dear canines as if they were his own. He came back to return our key and was greeted enthusiastically by all three, which is the absolute best review I think anyone here could receive. I more travel planned later this year and Greg is at the top of my list for taking care of my furry, four-legged kids when that time comes.”
“My animals are my life. Leaving them in the care of someone else is never something I take lightly. When my sister was unable to house/pet sit while I was gone I was extremely nervous. But scrolling through Rover I found Paloma who I had actually met a while back. I reached out and she said she’d be happy to do it and I felt immediately at ease. More at ease than when my sister watches my pets lol. She definitely took great care of my animals and house while we were gone. She sent pictures and updates, she followed instructions. I really felt like she took care of them like they were her own. She even watered my tiny pumpkin patch for me. I arrived back home to happy cared for pets. Thank you Paloma!!!”
“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”
“Sierra stayed at our house to watch our dog. She took great care of him while we were away. Our home was just as we left it and our dog was fed and happy when we returned. Thank you!”
“Candace is wonderful. If you have the chance to book her service, do it! Our sweet dog was super content with Candace. We have a super emotional dog and I can tell she was treated well during our vacation. Candace also cared for our home wonderfully. It’s hard to imagine ever taking our dog to a kennel after such excellent service.”
“Jackson did wonderful with my dogs! I have a dachshund who isn’t the friendliest with strangers, but despite that, Jackson was able to take of him without any issues. He was very responsive every time I reached out and did everything that I asked of him.”
About: I got my first dog 8 years ago and since then have realized how amazing they truly are. I’m here to help busy pet parents! I currently work as a paramedic full on 48 hour shifts, which allows me to have most of the week to take care of pets! I’m very aware and sensitive to each pets needs and will be happy to help with whatever is required for your animals comfort and safety.
“I can’t say enough good things about Rita. She’s attentive, responsive, reliable, all good things. She’s the best! Thank you, Rita, for taking such great care of our dogs.”
About: Hello, I'm Michael, an experienced house sitter in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Though I'm native to NM, I've completed over 22 home-based sits just in the past 2 years around the western hemisphere; from Nashville to Seattle, Vancouver to Barcelona, Big Sky to Dublin, and more. I'm experienced, trustworthy, kind, compassionate, and zen. I provide a variety of services to ensure your home is secure and well-maintained while you're away. In addition to overnight home and pet care, my "drop-in" services include pet feeding, mail collection, plant care, snow clearing, and trash & recycling. I am experienced in administering medication, can do lite grooming care and bathing, and have cared for both older and younger pets alike. I also keep my head in emergencies and believe that honest, clear communication is key to resolving most issues efficiently. I am a freelancer by trade, working primarily digitally (which allows me the freedom to travel from time to time), so my schedule tends to be somewhat flexible. I do like to have some notice when planning care for pets, and clear (as possible) instructions when pet needs are more complex. I cannot care for pets in my home, however; I'm happy to travel to your home for drop-ins as often as you'd like. I prefer longer engagements as I feel that pets in general prefer people they know, and I don't enjoy causing them any unnecessary anxieties, so overnights are the types of gigs I commit to. That being said, I'm here to help YOU, so don't hesitate to let me know how I can be of service.
“Isela took great care of my two cats while I was away. She was incredibly responsive to messages, and also agreed to take on extra tasks (like bringing in the mail) when asked. I highly recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cedar Crest. 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 Cedar Crest 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 Cedar Crest 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 Cedar Crest 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.
