About: I have owned dogs all of my life and understand that they are family members and should be treated as such! I love all dogs from big to small and young to old. While I do not have any pets of my own right now, I would love to help care for yours whether it be feeding, walking, playing, loving on them or more. I am currently off for the summer leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. From August to May, I work 2 days a week so I will still have plenty of availability. I have two daughters who live with me part time ages 9 and 7 who love pets as well. I would love to care for your pets as you see fit in your home! Just let me know their daily routine and I can accommodate.
“Svetlana was amazing with our boys. She sent us updates everyday and was amazing with them. She did amazing administrating insulin to our dog Koda twice a day. Definitely going to book again!”

I have my own animals and some free time what better way to use that free time than to help care for others animals while they’re busy or away:) I have a 2.5 acre fenced yard and two sweet fur babies to keep your fur babies company,If you need them crated,or any routine/anything they need to take I can do so.I do own 3 cats and 2 dogs so if your baby is cat friendly,bring em over:)
“Juan was great! He came to my house last minute while my husband was in the hospital and stayed with Bacon for us. He took great care of our baby. He actually had him come back the next day to help again.”
About: I have had animals my whole life, and have worked in the pet industry for 6 years. My day job experience has been at 2 different local pet food stores, where I’ve learned a lot about the needs of dogs and cats, as well as body language. My old job had foster cats, so I have experience taking care of up to 10 cats at a time (feeding, litter cleaning, meds, and playtime). I also have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I love walking! I enjoy taking my own dog on short walks or really long walks to get his energy out. I have experience with high energy dogs that may pull or not be comfortable around other dogs or people. I also have experience with puppies and kittens, and special needs pets. I’ve owned 2 disabled dogs that required diaper changes, meds, and regular bathing and cleaning up after them. I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I start the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!
About: Ever since I was young, I have loved being around animals and helping take care of them, especially dogs. Watching dogs has always come naturally to me because I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. What makes me different from other dog sitters is that I treat every dog like they are my own by giving them attention, affection, exercise, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and build trust. My love for animals motivates me to provide the best care possible and create a fun, caring environment for every pet I watch. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give them the attention they need. I am organized and responsible, so I can easily plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection. I also make sure pets get plenty of exercise and companionship so they stay happy and relaxed while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I respect their space and carefully follow any instructions they leave regarding feeding schedules, medications, routines, or special care needs. My goal is always to create a calm, caring environment where pets feel comfortable and well cared for.
“Susana did a fantastic job watching our two dogs and two cats. Our older beagle requires some specifically times medical care and Susana handled it beautifully. Communication was quick and informative, we received frequent updates while we were away, and our home was cleaner than when we had left it when we got back. Would highly recommend Susana for any house or animal sitting services.”
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.😉
“Grace was amazing. She took great care of our dog and elderly cat. Lots of pictures and updates made it so much easier to be away knowing that my animals were happy. We even had cute welcome home notes waiting for us. It’s so nice to have found a pet sitter that I know will be our go to anytime we need someone. Thank you Grace”
“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!”
“Hailey took great care of the house and the dogs during our trip. She was communicative and sent pics and videos now and then to show us how they were doing. We felt confident leaving everything in her hands and would certainly book her again. Thank you Hailey!”
“Daniel took good care of our animals and our house. He kept in touch regularly and made sure we knew how things were going throughout the week. Everything was also clean and tidy when we returned!”
“Abigail took excellent care of Simba during our time away. She sent us picture updates and was communicative. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup. Would definitely have her again to watch our sweet Simba. Thank you Abigail!”
“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!”

I’m skilled in feeding, walking, enrichment, and recognizing animal behavior, and I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and dependable care. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. With a part-time work schedule, I have the availability and flexibility to prioritize pet care in my daily routine.

I take a calm, patient approach to help pets feel safe, build trust, and maintain a clean, positive environment where they can relax and feel cared for.
“Rita was absolutely amazing! She treated our Chloe girl like her own. Sent updates and photos of Chloe. She did everything we’d asked her to and more. Left the sweetest report card. Definitely will book with Rita again ?”
“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 477 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chilili. 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 Chilili 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 Chilili 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 Chilili 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
