I take the time to build trust at your pet’s pace, keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

Being A dog sitter I respect any rules in place that the pet owner has for me. I am capable of attending to your fur baby with any needs they has.
“Amazing dog sitter, extremely friendly, understanding, flexible, and everything else you could ask for. We were worried because our Akita doesn’t like people. But Sarah was very patient and was able to work with all 4 of our dogs.”
“Najae was wonderful with my boys! She took great care of them while I was away and sent updates and pictures throughout the weekend. They seemed to enjoy her a lot and were very happy and at ease. Thanks again!!”
“Jill kept my fur babies happy and safe while we were away. She did great in keeping my dog happy with lots of ball throwing and walks, and loved on the grumpy cat, who gave love back, which he only does to a select few. Will definitely keep her in mind for future needs.”
“Vanessa did such an amazing job with my cat and dog. She was very attentive, asked questions, sent pictures and videos. I felt completely at ease that my pets were well taken care of and having just as good of a time as I was!! Highly recommend her!!”
“I cannot thank Kamila enough for the work that she provided me in caring for my dogs. Kamila is an amazing professional. She is very skilled in caring for animals and she projects an aura of professionalism that there is no need for any level of concern for the pet or the property. I left home totally confident that everything was going to ok. When I returned, she had not only done the contracted work but had gone above and beyond. Thank you very, very much!”
About: My family worked with the Texas GSP rescue for 15 years, fostering an average of 2-3 dogs a year ever since I was 5 years old. I have also trained and cared for my families dogs every since I was old enough to do so. In my senior year of high school, I interned at a veterinarian clinic and worked at a veterinarian clinic in Lubbock. I am currently taking online college classes over the summer so my schedule is very flexible and I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I am currently not able to board pets in my home so as of right now I will not be able to provide this service
“Iztel was great with my young golden pup Jack. I received messages and photos everyday. Great communication! I would definitely recommend her for house sitting and for hanging with a puppy.”
“Sophia came right on time! She brought her dog along the stay because I have told her it was fine and it makes it easier on my dogs when it comes to other humans! Moo and my dogs got along so well, he apparently didn’t want to go. ? I’m glad I found my dogs a new friend and a trustworthy dog sitter! Would totally book her again.”
“Jacquiese did exactly what I laid out for them to do. She followed directions to a T, and my separation anxious dogs were much calmed than I seen before with sitters. I HIGHLY recommend Jacquiese.”
“Alexiz is absolutely incredible. Not only were all of the instructions I left followed perfectly, but my dogs were extremely well taken care of while I was gone for a week. She went above and beyond in all possible ways. I would highly recommend Alexiz to anyone who needs their pet taken care of!”

“Michelle is very professional and cares a lot for dogs. We just moved to El Paso and needed someone to watch our pups on vacation. Michelle sent a lot of pictures, communicated with me throughout the day and ensured my pup took his medication. We will definitely use Michelle again for any future dog sitting needs!”
About: My family has cared for animals since I was young. I interned during high school at a veterinary clinic and now I have a job at a household pets boarding facility. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I get the chance to allow the furry pet I am walking and myself to destress on a fun walk I keep an I out on all pets because of the experience I have with all of the animals I take care of trying to eat something off the floor I did not catch first and r when they try to nibble on furniture. I like to work mental stimulation on my dog when I notice they are getting angsty.
“Thank you so much for being so attentive and for your interest in Teddy Bear's care. Your attentiveness and kindness put me at ease. I truly appreciate the pictures and the quick replies. Teddy and I can't wait to work with you again, Danielle :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Paso
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!!!
Bassi did an excellent job dogsitting our dog, Nina. She was attentive all along, and we were so relieved to be informed of everything that went on during our absence. She made sure Nina felt accompanied and cheered her up when she was feeling down. Bassi always responded promptly and from the meet & greet she was taking notes to get everything right. We felt so reassured with her being in charge of our beloved pet, and we are deeply thankful for the time and love she dedicated to our Nina.

FAQs for House Sitting - El Paso
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in El Paso on Rover is $39.96 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 313 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 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 with handling special pet needs in El Paso. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
