“Emily was an exceptional cat sitter to our baby Nala! She took great care of our cat, ensuring she was fed, entertained, and well-loved during our time away. She kept up great communication everyday. Her updates and photos kept us reassured that she was in great hands. She kept Nala’s areas very clean! Emily's attention to detail and genuine affection for animals really showed. We’ll definitely be booking her again for our future trips! :)”

“Kellie did a great job! She updated us every day about our cat. The cat can be a little difficult when it comes to taking her meds but she was able to give it to her every day! Thank you!”

About: I have direct experience with the specialized care of my own hairless cat, along with years of supportive care for family dogs of all sizes and temperaments (including poodles, chihuahuas, pitbulls, and cane corsos). I’m comfortable adapting to different breeds, personalities, and care routines by providing daily walks and/or drop-in visits. I’m a student with flexible availability to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Though I prefer morning through mid-afternoon walks, I’m also available for evening visits and overnight stays. My princesita gets everything she demands, from punctual feedings to constant cuddles. Since I understand the importance of a pet’s comfort in their own space, I’m happy to provide personalized care for all breeds and lifestyles. I’m especially accustomed to frequent cleaning and preening, ready to scoop, bag, and scrub as needed.

(Lucys doggy daycare, Becker Animal Hospital and Retreat, and Pet supplies Plus) Dogs are my life. I have an open schedule, no tie downs other than my children! I am a stay at home mommy! I am still teaching my young children the boundaries that animals have, but you can rest assured knowing there will be no ear or tail pulling. I have a very safe and fun yard with tons of shade and turf, and I cannot wait to get to play with your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom with two small children. They are currently being taught animals boundaries, they will never be left alone with your animal. You can trust that they will be protected from ear or tail pulling! I have a small fenced yard around my house and an additional fenced in yard around my entire property. I have poultry and small children, but your animal will be cared for properly and with love.

“Super grateful for Cienna. It is not easy to find someone with the patience to care for a cat that needs medication twice a day but she persevered and took great care of Annie. My house looked the same when I got home as when I left and I’m grateful for that as well.”

About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!

Jasmine was THE BEST! We came back to a very happy and healthy cat. The daily comments and pictures were one of the highlights of our days. Of course we were worried about our boy but after a few days our worry became less and less. She even took care of the ants that kept discovering his bowls. We Highly recommend her. And so does Hadley!

Jasmine was absolutely amazing! I wasn't concerned that my cats weren't getting plenty of love and care while I was away. Jasmine kept open lines of communication and was very easy to work with.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dona Ana

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dona Ana is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 25 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dona Ana. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dona Ana. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
