“Jackie did a great job for us housesitting our dog and cat for a week while we were traveling—she even washed the sheets before we came home! We would definitely recommend her.”
“I felt super confident leaving my dog with Ava. She is such a good communicator and was very flexible with my needs for drop off and pickup. She stayed at my house and left everything very clean and tidy. Will definitely use again!”
About: Hey, I’m Caitlin! I have been a dog owner my entire life, and have always adored caring for them. I’m always ready to match a dog’s energy, whether that be cuddling on a couch or playing fetch in the yard! I have had many experiences with dogs that need at home medical attention, such as administering unwanted pills. While most of my experience has been with dogs, I also enjoy getting to know cats, whether they be playful or sassy! I hope I can be the right fit for your furry friend! I’m currently a full time student at Eastern Washington University. My classes are Monday through Friday, taking up only two to four hours a day. I am a quick learner of the environment that a pet is in, and can adapt to their wants, needs, and routines. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I have a great understanding of making sure they are safe, cared for, and well loved.
“Carla was quick to respond and took great care of my dog when my other sitter backed out at the last minute. She sent pictures and updates and I could not have been happier with the service she provided.”
“Jocelyn was an incredible house sitter when she stayed and watched our cat, Freyja during our vacation! Our usual house sitter had to cancel on us around 2/3ish weeks before our trip and so we reached out to Jocelyn to see if she was available. She was so sweet and set up our meet and greet promptly! During the stay, Jocelyn was an excellent communicator and shared regular updates and photos with us, which made us feel so comfortable with her watching our girl, Freyja. Additionally, Jocelyn left the apartment nice and tidy, which was so great to come home to. Overall, we were so happy with Jocelyn watching our cat child!”
“Suzanne kept me in the know with my puppy daily and quick to respond. She and my pup got along very well and was well taken care of as well as the house itself. I recommend Suzanne to housesit for your furry friend! Thanks Suzanne ❤️”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience with animals of all sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities. My professional background includes working in kennels, doggy daycare, grooming, dog training, and veterinary assisting, so I’m comfortable caring for everything from playful puppies to seniors and pets with special needs. Safety is always my priority, but I also want your pet to feel like they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I’m comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, providing frequent potty breaks, following detailed feeding or medication routines, and caring for pets who may need a little extra patience. I also have dog and cat first aid/CPR experience and am comfortable with large breeds, multiple-pet households, and pets with different activity levels. I send regular pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding, medications, cuddles, and whatever routine your pet is used to at home. For boarding, I have a house with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves comfortable. I keep care personalized and follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, crate routines, medications, exercise needs, and sleeping preferences. Because I have dogs and young children in my home, I’m careful about making sure boarding dogs are a good fit before their stay. Meet-and-greets are always welcome! My goal is for you to leave feeling completely comfortable and for your pet to feel like they’re having their own little vacation. ❤️ I have a fenced in yard and and a dog park in walking distance! My home also has room for pups to run and play!
“Tierra provided excellent care for our 14 month old mini dachshund who is a velcro pup! I will definitely want to book Tierra again in the future and highly recommend her.”
About: Dog owners and their dogs will love the fact that I understand a dogs needs I have three dogs of my own who I spend most of my time around, I understand the basics of caring about dogs and how to treat them and teach them how to be well behaved! I’ve had my oldest dog from the time he was 8 weeks, he is now 11. I have trained him how to sit, speak, shake hands, lie down, and he was fully potty trained in 1 month of having him! I also enjoy cuddling and playing outside with dogs which I’ve learned dogs are just like humans they need activity and love to stay happy and healthy, and that’s why I believe my service will be a wonderful thing. I’m currently working part-time and would love to be able to help take care of your animals, when you go on vacation or just need them walked. Dogs will always be on leash and walk on the inside part of the sidewalk, when letting them out to use the restroom I’ll ensure it’s safe for them to do so first if the area isn’t fenced.
About: There hasn’t been a time in my life I can remember where I haven’t had a furry friend by my side. I’ve taken care of numerous pets from families and friends who may not have been mine but I loved just as dearly as my own. I have experience with all ages and types of pets, however mellow or rowdy. I believe every animal deserves as much respect, patience, and love it takes for them to feel safe. I’m confident in my ability to accommodate any pet regardless of age or personality. I’m not currently working so I have plenty of time I’d gladly spend with your pets, no matter how early or late, I can be extremely flexible. This is often based on my clients routines which I like to follow as closely as I can. I love spending quality time going for a long walk or playing with any fun toys with pets.
“Rachel is great! We were so relaxed on our vacation knowing that our dog was getting good care and lots of affection! Our house was so clean when we returned too! We will definitely book here again!!”
“I can't say enough how much I appreciate and love Ashten & Shelby! They did amazing with my pup as always and even earned some kitty cuddles which is very rare for my cats when they're around strangers. as an employee of Rover, this is the experience i hope for all Rover users”
“Shenna was wonderful with our dogs and brought real peace of mind while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions, showed genuine affection for the animals, and carried a calm “I got this” confidence from start to finish. We came home to happy pets and a clean, well-cared-for home. Her reliability and care truly stood out, and we’d definitely book with her again.”
“Lexi is everything we wanted in a dog and house sitter. Kind, smart, mature and committed to the loving care we so want for our dogs to have while we were away! We received daily updates and photos of our pups, along with reassuring words that all was well. She got them out as often as we'd asked, and she cleaned up the yard regularly. Plus she clearly loved our dogs! We had complete confidence with her and highly recommend her to anyone needing dog or house sitting. We're super bummed she'll be moving out of state as we'd love to hire her in the future, but if you're looking for a sitter who will care for your dogs and home as much as you do, look no further. A true 5 star sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 619 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
