“Janet was such a gift to us and our pup. She was extremely tentative to her needs. She paid close attention and took thoughtful, mindful care of our girl. We could not recommend her any more highly. We will certainly be reaching out to Janet in the future!”
“Cienna was great with our two dogs, one of which takes a while to warm up to strangers. She communicated daily and left the house and yard in perfect order. We’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Allison was great with our shy Lola! She stayed with her a few nights. We got many updates, and photos. At her meet and greets Lola was very timid, as she is with everyone. By the second day, Allison had her on a leash for walking. That was a pretty big deal! The communication was great! We got stuck in the airport, and it was easy to contact Allison to come to our rescue! Well done! Thank you! Jody and Todd”
“Danae was amazing! She checked in frequently, sent pics of my girls, and is very friendly and responsible. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in capable hands. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jaylene is the best to care for your pet in your home. Our dog Posie was well cared for and I know Posie loved Jaylene. She gave alot of attention and love to Posie. Our house was kept clean during her stay and she took in our mail. She is professional and friendly and always wants to do her best. We will book again next time we travel.”

“We are always skeptical leaving our fur baby with a stranger however we were very, very pleased. We received updates daily along with photos and could just tell they were having a good time together. Jasmine knows what she is doing and does it fabulously. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Raquel did a week long overnight with my pooch Tuukka. I've never been more comfortable with anybody else and I know Tuukka was give an exceptional care. I think he bonded with her...

About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“Kayla's was great - total animal lover! She sent photos of my boys and I could tell they were very happy in her care. Her communication was great - letting me know when she walked them, when she was going to be away, and reaching out with any questions. She took care of my home and even offered to water my plants if needed. She was wonderful - great experience!”
“Rachel was amazing with my dogs! She kept me updated on how they were doing & sent me lots of pics!! She was respectful and caring! I will definitely be booking with here again!”

“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”
“Jen was great. She took excellent care of our pooch and home. She sent frequent updates to let us know all was well. We will definitely check her availability for future trips.”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my Belgian Malinois, Ellie, she took the extra mile to make sure Ellie was safe during their walk. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and followed all of Ellie's routines, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was also so understanding of our travel situation and incredibly flexible, which meant so much during a stressful time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for loving Ellie like she was your own!”
“We love Caitlin! I’ve used her twice already and will more than likely again. She is responsive and communication is amazing. She sends daily pictures of our Jade too when we are away. Jade loves her too every picture is a smile :) Caitlin also stays overnight in our home and we trust her it’s like she was never here. She’s the perfect sitter highly recommend!”

Jasmine is amazing! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she was great with them and made me feel at ease leaving them which i have never done before and am already booking her for the next out of town trip. I have a very picky dog and he loved her which says alot to me. I got updates as requested and she is very responsive.
Janice is awesome. Roxy bonded with her immediately. Janice was prompt, attentive, and kept us updated with messages, photos and videos. Our girl was comfy and relaxed in her own environment thanks to Janice. We will definitely check with her for future sitting!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dona Ana
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dona Ana on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 131 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dona Ana. 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 Dona Ana 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 Dona Ana 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 Dona Ana 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
