“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!”
“Jacquiesce was amazing! She was so communicative and sent me pictures - I booked her last minute and for a holiday and she was flexible and made me feel so comfortable that my pup was being taken care of! I will definitely be booking with her again and would highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Wesly was amazing with my dogs! I needed a sitter on short notice while I was away for work, and he was super easy to coordinate with. He was very patient with all my instructions because, let’s be honest, I’m extra when it comes to my dogs. He kept me updated throughout the whole week, which gave me so much peace of mind. He was reliable, caring, respectful of my home, and spent plenty of time with my dogs even while working. I could tell they were in great hands! I’m so grateful for the amazing job he did taking care of my babies for the whole week. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.”
“I had such a great experience with Isabella! She was incredibly responsive, considerate, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She made an effort to understand my pet's routine and needs, and I really appreciated how willing she was to go the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. She was also very communicative and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate how accommodating and dependable she was, especially with my unique schedule. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would absolutely recommend Isabella to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to take care of their pets!”
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.

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: CATS AND SMALL DOGS ONLY 🫶 Message me if you are unsure about your dog size. Generally no huskies, pitbulls, shepards, labs, or great danes. Thank you for understanding. … Animals are my passion. I am an advocate for animal rights and justice. Protecting your pet is my top priority. No matter the animal, I ask that parents bring their pet’s essentials e.g. leash, food bowl, bed, litter box, toys. It truly is a pleasure to care for animals. Let me care for your precious fur baby today 🐶🐱 My current availability is open to Weekend mornings/ early afternoon. You can request to book other days with me by appointment. I am a college student so I am not available all day, everyday but I’d be happy to work with your schedule if need be. I also live a short distance from my campus so I can easily make the commute home to check on pets. I live in a spacious apartment. I have wood flooring so carpet mess is not an issue. There are several parks/ areas at my complex for frequent outside breaks for your pet.
About: Hello, My name is Sunny. I have had pets all my life and currently have two friendly dogs and two cats. I foster for many organizations in El Paso, taking care of animals from newborns to senior and have experience taking care of almost any special needs pet. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to love your pets like you do when you're gone and hope to make leaving a bit easier on owners. I only take one family at a time so your pets get plenty of attention when they stay with me. I enjoy hiking in the mountains or running along the river with my dogs. I have a large back yard with a dog door to the yard to allow pets access outside all day long and I am home most of every day. Pets are allowed on the bed and furniture. I also have two children who love pets as well. They are good with all animals and often help me care for newborn kittens or puppies when I am fostering them. I work part time but it is never at the same time as my husband so someone is always home. I walk dogs daily as the weather permits. I have a large yard with a tall fence and a large doggy door. I take dogs on walks daily when weather permits and plenty of play time.
“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!”
“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!!”
“Cecily was absolutely amazing with my 4 animals. She was very kind understanding, she sent constant updates and pictures. When I needed to talk to her other than texting, she was very and understanding. Cecily watch them 42 weeks in our home and she was very respectful of our space and made sure that the house was secure at after each visit. One of my cats is just not a people or animal cat.He doesn't like anybody really, and he warmed up to her so very quickly, which means she had beautiful energy because animals know. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their babies.”
“Leyla is simply amazing!! She not only took care of our golden retriever Ellie but also of our apartment. Couldn't imagine a better person for the job. She's super clean, responsible and most importantly great with dogs!! We were super calm during those 5 days knowing Leyla's there. Thank you!!”
“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: 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.
“Michelle was a perfect fit for our needs. She had very good communication with us and kept us abreast also with photos of our dog. She also took great care of our two cats. Our dog Riley liked Michelle the instant she saw her. Michelle is very tidy and neat. She even took out the trash for us. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the near future.”
“Reuben showed up for an emergency dog sitting, for us and our 2 dogs. He did a fantastic job with our dogs. He sent many pictures and communicated with us very well. We are very happy with Reuben and his help with our babies. Thanks again!”
“Danai did a wonderful job, taking care of my multiple dogs, and housesitting. She is very responsible, and my dogs absolutely love her, and my dogs don’t just warm up that fast to anyone. She is very courteous, punctual, and I trust her 100%. I travel often for work and will continue to see if she’s available to house/dog sit my pack. Very trustworthy and caring, and has empathy and compassion for all animals, I know my dogs are safe and happy with her. ⭐️x5”
“We had the pleasure of having Allyn stay at our home to care for our three dogs—including two Great Danes and a Shih Tzu—as well as our chickens for nine days, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Allyn was professional, reliable, and incredibly loving with all of our animals. Managing large dogs and chickens isn’t always easy, but Allyn handled everything with confidence and care. She kept us updated regularly with photos and check-ins, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned, and all of our animals were clearly happy, healthy, and well cared for. We highly recommend Allyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

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!!!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
