“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!!”
“This is the fourth time Laurie has pet sit for us, and as always, I am so grateful to have her! She loves the dogs so much and always leaves the house spotless. This time she even left us homemade soup!”
“Victoria’s calm, confident personality made her the ideal sitter for our 3 dogs during the Thanksgiving holiday. She has outstanding communication skills and kept us informed about our pups through daily texts, photos, and video. She was authentically interested in the well-being of our pups and went above and beyond to help one of them overcome her shyness and slight case of loose stool! Our dogs had a great time while we were away and were in great shape when we returned. In other words, Victoria is an outstanding dog sitter!”
About: I grew up in a house full of animals. As long as I can remember, my family has lived with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, lizards, frogs, snails, salamanders and all manner of wild backyard critters as well to attend. I was raised to respect these animals as well as attend to their needs. I believe love and respect go hand-in-hand, and I love creatures of all shapes and sizes! Since I was old enough to babysit, I was also pet-sitting! I believe that animals are not only our friends and our kindred spirits, but also our duty to care for well. I spent time working as a pet nutritional expert at a store in Austin, TX, and that experience only increased my passion for animals and their well-being. I love to travel, and know that it makes all the difference to leave someone you trust with your critters. My headline includes my vision statement; I endeavor to become a friend to your pet, and while you're away, provide my full presence, my dedicated care, and my joy at being with them. I'm a graduate student at UNM, so my class schedule is mostly afternoons right now. My cat's a rather needy fellow, so he's happiest when I'm home. I make sure to make time to spend with him on weekends, mornings, and evenings, and spend time making up for missed cuddles then. I keep his areas very clean, he drinks only from a fountain, and I keep him to a strict feeding schedule (much to his chagrin and occasional break-in attempts of the food container). My frogs, Gus and Markl, need live food once a week and clean water every day, and I maintain a heat lamp schedule for them as well, as well as regular maintenance to their bioactive terrarium. When my parents are out of town, I take care of our two dogs, Lilo and Clara, and nine chickens. The dogs need to be walked, the chickens need to be fed and their eggbox cleaned, and there's lots to do to make sure everyone is comfortable. Lilo's pretty anxious, and Clara's getting up in years, so I make time in my work schedule to return home midday to check on them if I'm out and about. Depending on your pet's needs, I'm flexible in terms of schedule. :) It's important to me that you are confident in your pets' safety and comfort. I will not take dogs outside without a leash, unless they are in a fenced-in yard, and I don't let cats outside unleashed on principle as I believe this makes them a danger to themselves, other cats, and smaller animals. You can expect photos from me of your pets if you'd like them, and if they let me I'll happily clean out eye-boogers, snuggle with them, and ensure that they have love and companionship during the stressful time you're away.
“Kerrigan did a fantastic job taking care of our pup and our home. She maintained good communication throughout the stay and sent us pictures to let us know that everything was going well. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Luca did a great job pet sitting for us. He followed our directions, took great care of the house and was very caring with our 2 dogs. We appreciated that he sent pictures and updates about how our pups were doing. He watered plants and walked the dogs too. We will use Luca again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life! I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I am extremely comfortable and confident around your babies! I have 8+ years of experience walking dogs as well as pet sitting! I have experience with special needs dogs as I have my own, I don’t mind cleaning cages and have experience giving oral medication. I am comfortable around all dogs no matter the size and can quickly adapt to their needs, I know what to do in stressful situations and know how to navigate situations calmly, efficiently and safely. I cannot wait to meet you guys! I am currently working a part time job and around 4-5 days a week lasting 4-5 hours, I have plenty of time to spend with your babies! I have a completely fenced in yard, as well as one very friendly dog and one friendly cat! Both of my animals are great around other animals and I take them both out in the morning, night, and usually I’ll wake up and have to take my dog out!
“Erika is AMAZING. She is not only a wonderful human being, but she's incredible with my dog and cat! So much so I think they'd like to trade me in for her (!!).. which is a bit sad, but truly what every furbaby parent wants. She sent lots of pics and videos, kept the house amazingly clean, was super attentive to details ... I'd really love to give her a 10-star review!”
“Marty is a God-send. I hesitate to write this glowing review for fear that he will get really busy and won't be available when we need him. That being said -- Marty stepped in when we had only had our sweet pup for a week. He stayed for 4 days and was a great communicator while we were away -- he passed along everything he was observing with our new dog (the good, the bad and the ugly). Our pooch has some trust issues but he came around to Marty and they were best buds by the end of the trip. We knew both of our pets would be in great hands (our cat, too!) based on all of the previous reviews and Marty proved all of it to be true. We will be using him again in the future.”
“We were away for 23 days on a long road trip, and our sitter did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were gone. She was responsible and communicative. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us during such a long trip. Highly recommend!”
“Kat was amazing at house & pet sitting. She was very communicative, sent pics and updates appropriately, and left our pets happy and home just as it was before she arrived. I highly recommend her!”
“Amber took good care of our pets. This was our first time using rover and a non family member to take care of our pets while away. Amber made me feel at ease and was really sweet and patient with our pets.”
“Martina jumped in literally in the hours before I was leaving as my other sitter cancelled very last minute. Martina was attentive to all the needs of my very elderly cat, gave him his meds, cared for him as if her own. She left my house in really good condition and tidy/clean after an 11-day stay!”
“Grace was available last minute for pet sitting in my house, and was very accommodating for my open-ended return. She sent pictures and good updates daily. The house looked great when I returned and my dog was very relaxed - I could tell she had enjoyed her stay with Grace and that Grace had treated her very well. I can recommend Grace for your peace of mind while you are away.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Autumn has watched my dog and cat several times, and takes such good care of them. I know that my furry kids are in great hands with her. My dog Evan has severe separation anxiety, but Autumn gives him so much love that he is able to work through it. For this past booking, I had some scheduling changes and asked Autumn at the last minute if she could stay three additional nights. She immediately accepted, giving me such peace of mind. She sends tons of amazing pictures and updates. We are so grateful to have found her!”
About: Hi, I’m Taylor! I have taken care of dogs and cats of all ages for family and friends over the years. I currently have a six year old cat that requires special care and attention, and I regularly take care of her senior cousin who requires daily shots. I am currently working on going back to school, so my schedule is pretty open right now to provide care for your little one. :) In my client’s home, I connect with the client to learn their routine. I take notes and ask questions to ensure I provide the care the client and pet is expecting from me. If the client desires, I’m happy to send pictures and updates during my stay!
About: I have been pet sitting regularly for about three years however, I live on a Ranch and have experience in animals of all sorts. I have so many barn cats and four personal house cats. I can handle from your smallest hamsters to your largest breeds. I’m your girl I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I regularly pet sit a boxer and bearded dragon monthly on top of my animals that I already have. I am able to drop in or stay the night as needed. I have a large fenced in yard where my great Pyrenees is able to roam freely. My cats have a large cat tree crates throughout the house that they can lay in if they choose. they also roam around the house they do not go outside. All of my animals have lots of enrichment.

FAQs for House Sitting - El Llanito
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in El Llanito on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 641 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across El Llanito. 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 El Llanito 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 El Llanito 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 El Llanito 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.
