“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.”
“Our dog loves Ginny. We felt so comfortable leaving him in her care for an extended period of time. We are very grateful Ginny was able to watch Dre for us and will absolutely recommend Ginny to anyone.”
“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!”
“Very kind and accommodating with our fur babies! Sonia was great at communicating and sharing with us our pets daily activities. She really connected with our pets. We could tell they were happy in all the pictures she shared. Very responsible and committed to her role as pet sitter for the week we were on vacation.”
“Kelly is absolutely amazing! She cared for our pets and home during a family trip to Ireland. I was very nervous about leaving our dog as she can get a little anxious around people outside of our family, but Kelly put my mind at ease during our pre-trip “meet and greet.” She was kind and nurturing in her interactions with our pets and very thorough in her questions about their routines and care. My husband and I had been planning this trip with our family for two years and knowing that our furry family members would be well-cared for in our absence was a huge stress relief! While we were away, Kelly sent us daily updates and photos which clearly showed that our pets were happy and content. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home and I am pretty sure the guest bedroom was cleaner when we got back than when we left. I cannot recommend her highly enough - it felt like we had a trusted family friend caring for our pets and home.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong bond with my furbabies, and one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was caring for my sweet dog, Eva, whom I brought home when she was 4 weeks old. I was fortunate to have her by my side for nearly 16 years, caring for her through every stage of her life and especially during her final year. She passed away on July 11th, just a month and a half shy of her 16th birthday, and I was grateful to be there for her through her final moments and lay her to rest. Her final year taught me so much about the patience, comfort, compassion, and extra care that senior furbabies need. I also have a 14-year-old cat Evander, who grew up alongside Eva and is grieving her loss, which has given me an even deeper understanding of how strongly animals bond with one another. I’m also comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats and understand the importance of following their routines and instructions carefully. My furbabies have taught me that they truly are family, and I bring that same love, patience, attentiveness, and respect to every furbaby I have the privilege of caring for. I work from home, and because my remote job doesn’t require much of my day, I have a lot of flexibility and time to devote to the furbabies in my care. I adore having furbabies around and love being able to give them attention throughout the day. Whether they want to play, go for a walk, cuddle up next to me while I work, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to be there for them. I want every furbaby in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and like they’re part of the family. I want every furbaby to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re in my care. I let each furbaby dictate how they want to interact with me and never force attention or affection. I’m happy to provide as many walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and love as their parents would like. I’ll also follow all feeding instructions, daily routines, and medication schedules exactly as outlined by their parents. My goal is simply to care for each furbaby the way their family would and give them plenty of love and attention while they’re away.

About: My lifelong love for animals translates into high-quality care for your pet. Since childhood, I have managed everything from daily feeding and walking schedules to specialized grooming and medication administration. Neighbors and friends frequently lean on me for their pet care needs because I am detail-oriented, highly communicative, and dedicated to keeping your pet safe, happy, and comfortable.

Safety and trust are my top priorities. Whenever I care for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow their established house rules, security measures, and specific routines. I ensure doors are securely locked, gates are latched during outdoor time, and potential hazards are kept well out of reach. I also look out for signs of stress, maintain a calm environment, and provide regular photo updates so owners have complete peace of mind.

I do you have a day job Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. I am available to care for your furry baby or babies in your home where they are most comfortable. As long as they are okay during the day while I am at work I will be with them in the mornings before work as well as overnight while you are gone. I am available for feedings, potty and play time! If they are able walks and play time will definitely be part of our routine. I encourage you to let me know what they love and don't love so I can easily adapt to their routine! My main goal as a Rover Sitter is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving the best care while you are on vacation or while you are at work! That means daily pictures (and occasionally videos) of your pet playing, relaxing, and having the best time! I am passionate about what I do, and I love keeping you updated with pictures and videos of the fun activities that your friend participates in while they are in my care.
About: I ran a pet nutritional building for two years, I also was in charge of feline foster care, as well as walking dogs in our neighborhood in Pennsylvania.

Whatever is most convenient for your needs. I do not normally do in-home pet care, I will sit during the day, but I will not do overnights in house unless special request. I will do walks, and drop in visits make sure your baby gets lots of energy burnt out.

The average cost of House Sitting in Espanola is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $53 per 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Espanola. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
