“Whitney did a great job caring for my elderly dog Dillon. I came home to a clean and tidy house and more importantly a very happy and relaxed dog. I highly recommend Whitney.”
“Sarah stayed with our dogs for a week. She took excellent care of them and provided detailed updates. She really connected with our furry friends and it gave us great peace of mind knowing she was caring for them. She also ensured our outdoor plants survived the July temps! Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
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.
“Vicki is absolutely excellent 🐶✨ She gave us daily updates with photos 📸 and communicated clearly every step of the way, which gave us total peace of mind. We used to take our Yorkie to a pet hotel, but he always came home stressed 😔, which never felt right. We decided to try Rover instead and found Vicki — and it has been a complete game changer 🙌 Our dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly so well cared for ❤️🐾 This is the only way we’ll do it from here on out. We couldn’t recommend her more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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.”
“We arrived home to a happy Gracie. Anjolee sent us several photos of Gracie she was a happy girl. I highly recommend Anjolee to take care of your dogs. We will definitely be using Anjolee again.”
“Alicia was amazing. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and helped us out with a last minute trip. The dogs seemed to love her and they were well taken care of.”
About: I’m a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys being active and spending time with pets. Being a four-year basketball and track athlete taught me discipline, communication, and responsibility. I’m comfortable following schedules, going on walks, giving pets attention, and respecting people’s homes while house sitting. I’m a UNM student with classes ending by 3:30 PM at the latest each weekday. I’m available afterward to walk, care for, and spend quality time with your dog/dogs! I also have more flexibility on weekends. I take safety and trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“Greg is an amazing house sitter. my dog and cat were very well taken care of . Communication was great and Greg sent pictures and/or videos daily . Will definitely use him again”
“Christina is amazing! She was able to housesit for us at the last minute and did a fantastic job. The animals loved her so much the dogs didn't want her to leave. She was very attentive, caring and professional with our 2 dogs and 4 cats. Every day we were gone we got 10-20 photos of the animals relaxing with her, playing outside, or snoozing after an exciting day. We highly recommend Christina for care of your home and loved ones.”
“Cassandra is an excellent dog sitter! She was willing to do two meet n greets prior to watching my dog for a week. She gave me daily updates, pictures, walked him, and even bathed him. I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Onrae met with us twice before we left on vacation to meet the dogs and then orient himself with our house sitting needs. Onrae stayed in good communication with us while we were gone for 6 days, including photos. When we returned home, the house was exactly how we left it and the dogs were happy and healthy.”
“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!”
About: I started caring for animals when I got my first stray animal when I was 5 and the love never stopped. I currently have my own dog who is the biggest couch potato on the planet but really wants some dog friends to play with. I work a 9-5 and can walk dogs on my lunch break, before or after work, and also board any night of the week. If your dog is here they’ll be treated like part of the family. Animals here sleep in the bed, lay on whatever furniture they want, and get as much as play time as they possibly could want. I can also administer medication if needed, give bath and nail trims, or any other service you may want or need.
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.
“Audrey went above and beyond. She made sure that all my animals were well taken care of. My dog ivy barked at her for two days straight and she didn't let that phase her she just showed ivy that she can be trusted. She also took very good care of our elderly dog. We definitely recommend Audrey for caring for any pet.”

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 , 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.
