“Alla was great! She took great care of our 2 90lbs dogs for a week while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her and would rebook her, if needed. She communicated multiple times a day and let us know how things were going throughout the week. She’s responsible,flexible and easy to work with.”
“Kirk did a super job watching my dogs on Friday and Saturday. He walked them, took them on a golf cart ride and gave them loads of attention. He was flexible with my schedule and came over early both nights. We will definitely use him again for dog care.”
“As a first time Rover user who recently moved to a new city, Jenna is exactly the dog sitter I was looking for! She was extremely communicative and sent regular pictures and updates of our dogs. She was quick to respond and on time every day. I would have no hesitations in recommending her to others for dog sitting needs.”
“This was our first time using Kat! She is wonderful. She is professional, kind and added a calm presence to our babies! She stayed in our home, kept it spotless and gave our babies love and attention while we were away. Pics and videos kept us updated! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for loving our crew!”
“Kelly was AMAZING! She went above and beyond with my two dogs. She sent me pics. daily, walked them, trained them and loved them like they were her own. I came home to a clean home and two very happy dogs. To be honest I think they miss her and that makes my heart happy to know that they liked her so much. I highly recommend Kelly and will definitely use her 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.”

“Jessica was Amazing! She was very attentive to both my cats & spent time with them. My Cooper wasn't feeling well, so he would hide but she made sure to check on him & see him before she left for the day and let me know how he was feeling & eating. She sent me lots of pictures and updates everyday which made me feel at ease, we were gone a week for a cruise. I would recommend her for any of your fur-babies needs. I will definitely have Jessica & Chevy over again to play with my kitties, they're a blessing.”

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. I work as a dog groomer, I have experience working with large and small breeds and can even offer a professional bath and nail trimming/ grinding for an extra cost. I currently am in school for the semester, and work as a part time professional let bather and groomer in training! Im usually only away for a few hours in days I work/school depends on the day! 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.
About: Hi! I’m your pet’s new favorite human 🐾 I treat every fur baby like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles (if they’re into that!). I’m super patient, reliable, and great at picking up on each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also have a background in childcare, working in multiple child care settings and holding a CDA (Child Development Associate), so I’m naturally nurturing, attentive, and big on routines and safety. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic pup, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my routine! I only work about 3 days a week from 9–5, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give pets the attention they deserve. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean space with a fenced yard for playtime, plus lots of love and attention. I also have a friendly 3-year-old Shih Tzu who loves other animals and makes a great companion. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine
“Kelly was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our elderly dog and cat, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept us updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also a fantastic houseguest—the house was even cleaner than we left it, and she washed and took care of all her own linens. We truly appreciated her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend Kelly and would love to have her watch our pets again!”

About: I am a cat grandma currently (aka Grannie Annie), but I have had many furry babies of my own over the years. I am very trustworthy and look forward to caring for your furry family as if they are my own. 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’ve cared for everything from tiny puppies to large Goldendoodles, as well as cats, and I have experience caring for multiple pets at the same time. Every dog I meet ends up not wanting to go home! I treat your pet like family:) I recently graduated and am currently job hunting, which means I’m fully available to care for your pet full time! I’m always ready for a walk anytime! 😊 My home has lots of open space and barely any furniture, perfect for your pups and kitties to roam! We also visit the apartment dog park daily. Bonus: I don’t wear shoes indoors (culture thing!), so no bugs! just clean, comfy vibes. 😄

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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. 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.

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.

- 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.
