“Kat is a dream. She gives our fur babies love, attention and is very attentive. HIGHLY Recommend! We leave relaxed knowing our babies are getting the BEST care.”
“Alla is awesome with Bailey-very attentive and loving. While we were away, our AC went out and she had to endure 3 days in the heat without cooling. She did an excellent job trying to keep herself and Bailey cool. Thank you, Alla, for being so understanding!”
“Joelma and John are terrific. Photos/updates were sent while we were gone. We came back from a short trip the pups were happy, the house was clean, poop was picked up. In addition, one of my dogs has ear tip Hematoma, John changed the bandages, and the ear tips looked good. We will be using them again.”
“House sat and watched our Collie and Sheltie for three nights. Stayed in touch regularly along with pictures (dogs obviously had a great time). On our return, the house was absolutely spotless. Highly recommended!”
“Danielle was absolutely amazing.I had no concerns at all for my little babies.She took care of them as if they were her own as she loved on them as much as I would have.I saw pictures throughout the entire visit and many to updates as well.”
“Maisie is a gem. She took great care of Willie. She reported in and sent photos every day. It was great to come home to a pristine house with soft music and lighting, pumpkin creme treats and a very happy little dog. Thanks, Maisie, for doing a wonderful job!”
“Pete did an excellent job with our fur babies while we were away! Even our bashful cat Petunia succumbed to his charms. Pete sent us photos multiple times while we were gone. It was reassuring to see our fur-kids doing well. The house was well maintained upon our return. We will be reaching out again to book with Pete.”
“Ginny was really great with my kitty baby and kept him from missing us too much. In addition, She helped with bringing in the mails, deliveries which came unexpectedly and even cleaned the room and washed the bed linen the last day. She also waited till we got home which was after 10pm, just to make sure my kitty baby was not left alone by himself. We are really happy to have Ginny caring for our baby and house sit while we were gone for 19 days. We will definitely engage Ginny again.”
“Heather was great with our dog, Murphy! She was very communicative with me and sent pictures daily! She took Murphy on daily walks and played with him in our backyard! She provided wound care on his foot and gave daily medications. Heather truly cared for our dog as if he was her own! We will definitely use her again!”
About: My name is Sara. I am an animal lover and have 20 experience with animals from bunnies to goats and dogs from Chihuahua to Rottweilers! Over the last 30+ years I have been involved in animal rescue, fostering and rehoming...this has included Elderly Dogs, Pitbulls and various other animals with special needs and circumstances. I currently have a pitbull terrier mix rescued from an animal hoarder and a bulldog puppy. As these animals are still in training and have some behavioral issues I do not bring my dogs on walks or introduce them to my clients pets during boarding. If you are considering boarding, walking or any other visits for the first time feel free to message for any questions or for a meet & greet. I look forward to meeting your pets and loving them like my own! - Sara Flexible schedule. I have the pleasure of recently becoming a stay at home Mom so I can cater to your pets preferred time. Also looking for regular clients. Would your dog like a day out...walk on the beach, pup cup while you're away? I have a pet friendly car and can transport them to their favorite spot for exercise. I love to walk...long or short walks, whichever your pet prefers! I also have a chuck- it ball thrower if your dog loves to fetch if you prefer for me to play with your pet at your house in their environment instead of walks. Your pet will not interact with mine but will have my full attention! I would like to meet and discuss your pets individual needs and do a meet and greet with you around so they are comfortable. You can discuss any pet preferences at this meeting so we can customize a good, safe and healthy routine for your baby :-)
“Carol is a rare gem! Excellent communicator. Spoiled our babies with belly rubs and cuddles. She kept us up to date and eased our minds. We hate leaving our babies but could relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were WELL taken care of. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs for the past 20 years, big and small, healthy and sick. All of our pets need a trusting hand to help them. Please allow me to give you peace of mind while you enjoy your time away worry free My schedule is open and very flexible! Please express your needs and we can come to an agreement together, includes overnights! ** Weekends and Holidays available** All pets would be treated with the utmost care and respect. Any accommodation requests for your furry friend is always welcomed and taken seriously. Thank you
“My dogs immediately felt the good energy and did so well with him. Communicative, punctual, professional, kind... absolutely rebooking! My senior beagle and border collie are needy little things so I am picky about Rovers and this is a great fit!”
“While I was away, I got updates and photos that showed how happy and relaxed my pups were—which gave me such peace of mind. It’s not easy for me to trust someone new with them, but Sophia went above and beyond to make sure they were safe, loved, and cared for. I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, gentle, and reliable. We’re so happy to have found them and will definitely be booking again!”
“We could not be happier with our experience with Jessica. My wife used to work at a vets office that also did boarding, when we would have to go out of town we always knew our dog was in good hands because we knew everyone who worked there. This was the same level of comfort. Jessica assured us that our pup was in great hands, while we were gone she stayed in touch, giving us updates and including some pictures. We will absolutely be using Jessica again in the future and I couldn't recommend her enough.”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with 7 years of pet care experience, a Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Bioscience, and experience working as an emergency veterinary technician. I’ve cared for dogs of many different ages, personalities, and needs and absolutely love getting to know each pet individually. My veterinary background has given me valuable experience recognizing changes in an animal’s behavior and making sure pets are comfortable and well cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, meals, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d love to help and become your pets next best friend ! Who let the dogs out - I did :P I’m currently a student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to spend quality time with your pets. I have the most availability on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekends, and I love filling my free time with walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles! I’m very willing to work around your pet’s schedule and make their routine a priority. Whether they need an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, medication on schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to be there for them. As an animal lover myself, I understand how important careful and responsible pet care is. I have personally cared for elderly pets and have experience with dogs of many different breeds and sizes. I follow owner instructions closely and take extra care with medications, feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and safety. I also believe enrichment and stimulation are important, so I’ll make sure your pet receives appropriate activity and attention based on their age, personality, and needs. My goal is for every pet parent to feel confident knowing their pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for in my home or your own.
“I got so lucky with Cynthia! She was the first person I found on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I went out of town for a quick trip and she stayed at my home with my pups and she took great care of them. She was communicative and so kind and I’m very excited to have her watch my dogs again 😊”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Espanola on Rover is $42.8 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 567 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Espanola. 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 Espanola 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 Espanola 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 Espanola 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 Espanola. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
