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??
About: Recently retired military looking to care for your beloved pet. My own puppy passed after 14 years and I would love to share my animal heart with yours. Since I’m retired, I have more time on my hands then ever before. I can walk your dog, cuddle with your cat, or even spend time with them to help them from being bored. Tell me what your rules are for your fur baby and I will follow them. I will do my best to keep them safe, have them feel loved, and if in your home, keep it clean. If your baby wants scritches and scratches, that’s what they will receive!

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience caring for and raising Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Anatolian shepherds, Great Pyrenees, and Bengal cats. Not to mention a wide array of farm animals too! Over the years, I’ve learned how to meet the unique needs of different breeds and personalities, from high-energy pups to independent cats. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every animal I care for. Whether it’s going for walks, providing playtime, or offering plenty of cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What should you expect from me? I understand how important it is for your pet to feel comfortable and secure. That’s why I require a meet and greet before booking! This helps me get to know your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs they may have, and it ensures they feel at ease with me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members, and giving them the same love and attention they get at home! I’m currently a stay at home dog mom, so I spend most of my time spoiling sweet boy at home! Walks and playing frisbee is very common in my household! I love to take my fur baby on adventures as much as possible! I will make sure whatever is asked of me is done first and foremost. Then from there it’s all about spoiling your pup and making sure they get enough exercise and love throughout the day! Meet and greets will be required to ensure your pet is as comfortable as they can be with their visits!
“Danai was an amazing sitter for Bella and Rudy. She always kept me informed about what they were doing and they were well taken care. She loved on them as if they were hers. She is very responsible and trust worthy. I would recommend Danai to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you Danai for everything!!”
“Jacqueline was an awesome sitter and very understanding of our situation, we needed an emergency sitter, and she was the first to answer. We have big dogs and one of them is our "special" baby who is you don't know him personally you might feel intimidated by. Jacqueline handled and carried herself well for our 1st meet and greet before our stay and didn't show signs of being afraid of our biggest dog. She sent us updates and photos and took care of our dogs and home while we're away for a bit. We're looking forward to our next getaway now that we've found a sitter.”

“Sam went above and beyond while house sitting for us. She took amazing care of our home and pets, kept me updated, and made being away so much less stressful. I came home feeling like everything had genuinely been cared for, not just “watched.” She was dependable, thoughtful, and clearly put in extra effort throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely trust Sam with our home and pets again and highly recommend her!”

She was very sweet and attentive while taking care of my pup! Plan to use her again for future overnight visits!! A++++”

About: I specialize in caring for cats and small dogs in a calm, quiet home environment. I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, senior pets, and shy or anxious animals. I specialize in small dogs and cats, providing a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home while their owners are away. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful, which is why I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, extended visits, and daycare depending on your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, feeding, medication, or just a quiet companion while you're away, I’m happy to help. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and cats with unique personalities, and I always take the time to learn each pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and happy.

I'm also available for last minute bookings if needed. Please note that I do have resident cats in the home, however, they are in their own cat room, so if your dog(s) or cat(s) are not cat friendly do not worry they won't be anywhere near my cats. I have an enclosed backyard so there's no way for your dogs to escape from. I also have 3 dogs of my own whom they can play with if your dogs get along with other dogs. I do crate them when I'm not watching them, for example when I step out for store runs or when showering. This is for safety purposes only - aside from that they are free to roam.

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
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!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in El Paso is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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.
