About: I am a dependable, easygoing-yet-high energy individual that would love to spend some time with pets to help me stay sane through the rigors of grad school! I have a flexible early morning and late evening schedule with occasional weekend availability. I will typically respond within 2 hours during the week and within 3-4 hours on weekends. Someone’s home is an extension of the self. I have the utmost respect for people’s abodes, and even more so for their fluffy friends. Who would we even be without them??
“We had an amazing experience with Natalie! She took care of our beloved Pancake while we were away and did an outstanding job. She was attentive, responsible, and followed all of our instructions to a tee. We were thoroughly impressed with her professionalism and the genuine care she showed for our furry family member. We will definitely be reaching out to her for all of our future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Natalie, for providing such excellent care for Pancake!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I’ve had everything from puppies to seniors and have loved all of them dearly, and plan on loving yours just as much! I currently work from home so there is plenty of time for me to take care of your pups! I’m available weekdays and most weekends for home visits I have 3 dogs of my own that can make great friends for your pet! I enjoy playing fetch and other games with them whenever possible. I always stay outside with my animals when going potty to make sure there are no accidents.
“This was our first time ever leaving our dogs with a pet sitter, so we were understandably nervous—but Vanessa and her son Wyatt completely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, they were incredibly communicative, sending regular updates along with plenty of pictures and videos of our pups having fun, going on walks, and playing. It was such a relief to see how happy and well cared for our dogs were. They even went above and beyond by picking them up when needed. We are so grateful for the love and attention they gave our pets and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashton was fantastic!!! He was so great with our dogs and gave them such great care and attention! Our doggos love him! I highly recommend and hadn't already booked with him again!”
About: Trainer with experience in puppies and dogs newly adopted from a shelter. I am a dog mom of a great dane so large dogs are welcome. Pet care is what brings me joy between school and my day to day life. I tend to do both walking, sitting, and training after class. I care for pets by being aware of their body language and form clear communication to ensure every activity suits them to their fullest potential.

“Stephanie was the best sitter I’ve ever worked with! She was excellent with my two pups and my three cats. She updated and kept me posted, and treated my babies like they where hers. You cannot go wrong with hiring her! If I could give her 10 stars I would :)”

I loved seeing how comfortable and happy Teddy was with you 🥰🐾 Also thank you, for responding so quickly! It was such a pleasure meeting you. We hope to see you again soon! 💕🐶”
About: I have always been around dogs. I have one of my own. They are the bestest and goodest boys and girls ever. To be able to sit your good boy would be an awesome opportunity. I currently work part time. So I have lots of free time to walk , talk , and play with the good boys and girls. I have a doogo of my own. He is a French bulldog and he is very friendly. I live a cross the street from a large park for the dogs to play in.
About: What sets me apart is that I bring both energy and care to every pet I look after. As an outdoorsy person, I love giving dogs more than just a quick walk. I enjoy taking them on fun, engaging walks that keep their tails wagging and their minds happy. At the same time, I know how to slow down and give cats and senior pets the calm attention and comfort they need. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that means going for hikes, playing, or enjoying cozy cuddle sessions. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos so you know your furry friend is safe, loved, and enjoying their time. As a full-time student, I stay organized and make sure pet care fits smoothly into my schedule. I can provide walks, playtime, and companionship during early mornings, evenings, and weekends, making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I’m flexible and reliable, so your furry friends will always be happy and well cared for while you’re away. :) I treat every pet as part of my family, whether I’m visiting their home or caring for them in mine. For dog walks, I make sure they get safe, engaging exercise and plenty of fresh air. When sitting, I follow their routine closely, whether it's feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, or lots of cuddles. I create a calm, loving environment, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you know your furry friends are happy and safe
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, whether that be my personal family dogs or foster dogs that my family and I have rescued. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to be patient, attentive and responsive to their different personalities and needs. Helping care for foster dogs has also given me experience with animals that may be nervous, shy or adjusting to a new environment. I enjoy spending time with dogs by playing with them, taking them on walks and making sure they feel safe, cared for and hopefully having fun! Because of all of this, I am comfortable working with dogs of different ages and sizes, all are welcome! I’m currently working part- time, so I have a plenty of time for all of the beautiful pets, I hope to come across! I’m free weekends and weekdays after 2pm. I have a wonderful neighborhood and apartment complex that I, myself, love walking around. As well, there’s a very big and beautiful park, less than a mile away from me. I live alone so there’s plenty of room in my apartment to chill or play around. And if your dog likes to swim, I have an apartment pool that allows dogs.
“Yara is the best. She took excellent are of our dog Hero in our home, visiting multiple times a day to feed and walk her, taking her on excursions, and even doing some of her own work from our home just so Hero could have a little extra company throughout the day. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! My name is Alex 😊. I’m a stay at home mom with 4 kiddos who love doggies just as much as I do! At our house your dog will be a part of our family. We welcome all dog sizes and breeds. Our backyard is spacious and full of outdoor fun for your fur baby. I provide alot of daily updates with photos so your mind can be kept at ease. As a stay at home mom, I'm available every day of the week to give your dog plenty of attention. At my home your dog will have tons of room to run around in our big, fenced backyard. All dogs are treated with love, cuddles and care 🐾 and are always allowed to roam freely. We also go on walks pretty regularly. My friendly golden retriever Adley, is super social and loves making new buddies (Especially chasing each other) but she also has a reserved personality indoors and will lounge around and hang out which is perfect for dogs with a laid back personality. We're a family with kids who understand doggy boundaries but also enjoy some gentle interaction. I've worked with dogs who might be a little skittish and need a calm patient approach as well as those who simply enjoy to just lounge and hang out! ♥️ I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering medication (even for pups with conditions like cancer) so you can trust your pups will be well taken care of. 🐾 Please note that for the safety and comfort of all our guests, I am unable to accept dogs with a history of aggression. Our family loves and welcomes puppies! Although pups who aren’t fully pottytrained , will require a crate for their stay to ensure a comfortable and accident free environment for everyone. (Please note they are only crated for bedtime or if I need to leave the house for a quick errand) Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile! I look forward to meeting your awesome dog! 🐾🐾🐾 🚨To make sure your dog gets just the right amount of food, please provide clear instructions on how much to feed at each meal (example: 1 cup twice a day). This is super important for your dog's health and helps avoid any issues or misunderstandings for both of us. If you pre portion the food, that's great too! 🦮 Important note regarding dog walks : I love to provide walks for your babies. Walks depend on the weather but are given every day. If it is too hot during the day expect a walk given in the evening/night time. Please note for the safety and the best experience I cannot accommodate dogs who consistently pull excessively on the leash. If significantly pulling occurs during a walk, I will discontinue that part of my service and focus on other alternatives of exercise such as (outdoor play or indoor stimulation) Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to be very flexible with pet care. Your dog's needs will be integrated into our daily flow, whether it's adjusting walk times or providing consistent attention. 🐾😊 When your dog stays with me, they're welcomed into our daily life. This includes playtime in our backyard, regular walks, and a cozy spot inside where they can feel at home and get the attention they need. Please know that I prioritize your dog's safety and comfort at all times they will never be left outside unattended if the weather is too hot 🥵 or too cold. 🥶

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Gracie and Tazz over the last two nights! Knowing our little Yorkies were in such excellent hands allowed my husband and me to fully relax and enjoy my 50th high school class reunion. We truly appreciate your reliability, your care, and your military service. With great appreciation, Deborah Polk
Jazmine is an amazing pet and house sitter. She did as we asked and when we came home our pets were so happy and healthy. I trust her to take great care of all 4 of my animals and my home. She is communicative and receptive and willing to go out of her way when needed.
Leaving Spike and Major with her during my deployment was one of the best decisions I could’ve made. Being away for that long is hard enough, but she made it to where I never once had to worry about my dogs while I was gone. They came back happy, healthy, loved, and honestly looked like they had the best time. I got constant updates, pictures, videos, and messages the entire deployment, and there was never a single moment where I didn’t know what was going on with them. She took them on outings, kept them active, cared for them like they were her own, and made sure they stayed comfortable and loved the entire time. You can genuinely tell she cares deeply about the animals she watches. Having that level of communication, reliability, and care while overseas gave me so much peace of mind. I would trust her with Spike and Major again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough. I will always use her for anything that involves leaving my dogs for extended periods of time or even for a night!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in El Paso is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 303 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across El Paso. 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 Paso 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 Paso 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 Paso 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.
