“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.”
“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: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and have owned more than three dogs throughout my life. I also have hands on experience from completing over 50 hours of volunteer work at El Paso Humane Society, where I helped groom, feed, and care for dogs while preparing them for adoption. I’m comfortable around dogs of different personalities and understand the importance of patience, and making them feel safe and loved. I am currently working part time on the weekends and I am attending UTEP as a sophomore. In weekends I would be available early mornings and weekdays would be early mornings along with afternoons. I have a big backyard for my dog to run around and get exercise and refill his water twice a day to keep up with him. At a client’s homes I will follow their instructions strictly. With my own dogs I give them all the walks they need to get exercise and have a fun day. I would treat a client’s dogs as my own.
“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!”
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.
“Leyla took excellent care of my fur kids. She was very attentive to them and accommodated all my instructions. Leyla sent daily pictures along with details of how they were doing. I recommend Leyla to anyone needing an excellent fur kids sitter. Thank you Leyla!”
“Bella is always amazing! She has cared for our 2 dogs many times and is great every stay. She consistently sends updates on how the dogs are doing. She follows all instructions thoroughly and respects our home. We trust her to care for our babies when we are away.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Jill was amazing watching our dogs while we were away on vacation. Very good and communicating and made sure our one dog with kidney issues was getting her medicine on time and making sure she ate regularly. I would highly recommend using Jill for any of your animal needs.”
“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!”
“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!!”
About: For the last 5 years, I have had a professional house and pet sitting business in the El Paso area called El Paso House and Pet Sitting. I live downtown, so I am able to work both the Eastside and the Westside of El Paso. I do not boarder, but I do come to your house and care for your animals in the arena they feel the most comfortable and safe. I am a professional house/pet sitter at El Paso House and Pet. I love animals, and have a few of my own, therefore, I understand how important it is that they are loved and cared for when you are not home ❤️ Pets bring us love, comfort, and companionship. Therefore, it is important to me that they are treated with constant ❤️ care to alleviate any worry or stress while you were gone.
“Five star service! Michelle was terrific. She communicated promptly and thoroughly. I received several photo updates throughout the weekend. She followed all of the requests I made and was able to give my dog his medication on schedule. My dogs were very happy and content when I got home.”
“Allyn is amazing!! She went above and beyond when watching Oso and kept us updated on how he was doing. We are so grateful to have found such an amazing dog sitter, and we would highly, highly recommend Allyn to others.”
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!

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!!!

FAQs for House Sitting - El Paso
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in El Paso on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 299 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
