“We had an amazing experience with Joelma as our dog sitter! Our pup was happy and well cared for, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Joelma went above and beyond, leaving our home not only well-maintained but even cleaner than when we left. I wholeheartedly recommend her to all my neighbors and friends!”
“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.”

“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!”
“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!

“We recently had the pleasure of having Carol watch our two pups (7 year old german Shepherd and 6 year old beagle mix) in our home for a week, and I can confidently say she is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had! From the moment we met her, it was clear that Carol has a genuine passion for animals and a natural ability to connect with them. During her stay, she treated our pups as if they were her own, showering them with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. It was so comforting to know that they were in such capable hands. Carol provided us with numerous updates and adorable pictures throughout the week, which really put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our furry family members. What impressed us most was her attention to detail in following our instructions and sticking to our pups' routines. It was evident that she truly cared about their well-being and happiness. Upon our return, we found our pups happy, healthy, and not at all stressed—it's clear they had a fantastic time with Carol! If you are looking for a reliable and affectionate dog sitter, I can’t recommend Carol enough. She has set the bar incredibly high, and I can guarantee we’ll be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Carol, for taking such wonderful care of our fur babies!”
“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.”
“Ginny was absolutely wonderful! She was very attentive and caring with our pups and clearly treated them like her own. We especially appreciated how thoughtful she was with our senior dog, Baxter. She made sure he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. And kept us updated throughout the whole time! Ginny stayed with the dogs the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear the boys were in great hands. On top of that, she left our home spotless upon departure, which we truly appreciated. We would happily recommend Ginny to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pup sitter!”
About: I have worked as a petsitter both on and off of Rover for over 8 years now, providing loving and safe care for dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I am currently a law student in the area looking to make some extra cash to pay off student loans. Expect trustworthy and communicative service. Please inquire for further information or if your pet has specific needs that I can address.
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 :-)
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Espanola on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 573 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:
- 98% 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.
