About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for cats and many years of looking after small dogs for family and friends. Whether your pet is a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a professional nap enthusiast, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and favorite way to spend the day—whether that means playtime, cuddle time, or simply having a calm companion nearby. I have extensive experience with cats and am comfortable caring for multiple pets, giving medications if needed, and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. My goal is simple: to treat your pets like family, so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and become their new favorite sitter! I work full-time Monday through Friday, so I’m used to planning my days around a schedule. I’m happy to work with your routine and find times that fit both of our schedules. I’m available outside of my work hours and on weekends, and I’m flexible when it comes to coordinating drop-ins, walks, or stays. Just let me know what your pets are used to and what you need, and we can figure out what works! Since I work full-time Monday through Friday, I know how important it is to have someone reliable who can fit into your pets’ normal routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’ll also make sure your home is left the way I found it and keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is to make things feel as normal as possible for your pets while you’re gone.
“Tresalyn was wonderful caring for our 3 dogs. SHE did everything we expected, asked questions when needed and left the house just as we left it. I will definitely contact her the next time we need dog sitter care.”
“Keana was amazing!! She loved our fur babies, sent updates and pictures, left our home in perfect order and did everything we asked!! We are already setting up our next appointment. Keana is kind, attentive and transparent. Couldn't have asked for a better fit!”
“This is the 2nd time I’ve used Juliza. She took excellent care of all the pets! She plays with them and pampers them . She also sends pics and reports on how they r doing. I definitely recommend her!”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures and made sure to let me know what was going on when I asked. She was also very understanding when I couldn’t answer sometimes due to being in a no phone zone. She left my apartment how I left with I deeply appreciated! Best sitter I’ve ever had, and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Olivia was amazing with our two dogs! One of them can be a bit timid and nervous but he took too Olivia right away! She followed all the instructions we left her and gave them lots of love! We couldn’t recommend her more we would definitely use her again moving forward!”
“Again, Diane was wonderful!!! She gave our dogs so much attention and play time; they love her! We give Diane our highest recommendation, and will be booking with her for all our future needs!”
“Alex was so sweet and caring with our 3 girls and our 6 chickens! He house sat for us and provided excellent care and updates to us multiple times a day. It was exactly what my nervous mom heart needed. He was persistent with trying to win over our rescue dog that took a few days to join her sisters in accepting the kind stranger in her home. He was thorough in reading our notes and asking questions. Communication was excellent. We would recommend Alex to anyone else needing a sitter!”
About: I’ve had and cared for animals my entire life. I’ve also worked at pet stores and humane societies. There is no better way to spend your time than being surrounded by animals. I care for animals because being a portable pooper scooper and a human chew toy aren’t considered real jobs. Let me know what your needs are and we’ll work together to make sure that your babies are taken care of when you can’t be home with them. I will always show the utmost respect to your pet and your home. This includes cleaning up after myself and your pet during our time together, removing my shoes before entering your home if you would like, and anything else that will make you comfortable with the arrangement.

I'm in school during the week and I have a part-time job on weekends. My goal is to fit my pet-sitting jobs into my school schedule (Monday-Thursday) between classes. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I'm at school from 10:30am-3:30pm, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm at school from 7:30am-3:30pm. I have open availability on Fridays. I'm currently in college student housing, so I don't have the means to host your animals at my place. I'd be more than happy to take your dogs out to play in local parks or in your own backyard.

About: I've had dogs my whole life! Never has my house been without at least 3 dogs and a fish! I even trained my pitbull when I was only 13 years old Since I am a college student my schedule is pretty open! I walk and run my own dog twice a day so l have no problem doing the same for yours! My dog gets walked and ran at least twice a day, fed twice a day with vitamins as well. She is crate trained but I always let her roam and sleep in my bed when I'm home
About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dogs, Rosemary & Kuzca, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, hitting nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee, when she will let me! I have always loved animals and wanted animal companions since I was a child. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. One thing that sets me apart is my desire to provide exquisite care for my furry/scaly/feathered friends. Every animal deserves to live a high quality life and it brings me so much joy to provide them with that. I continuously grow as a pet parent. I’m always researching new ways to improve my care techniques by staying up to date on things like nutrition, stimulation, and training. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh. Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent. I always try and incorporate as much outside time as possible.

Great pet caregiver with amazing preparation. Karla is very sensitive to the needs of owner and my girls. She comes to see the dogs before the stay to make sure they are all good with each other. She's a great communicator. She walks them and loves on them to their comfort level. My girls are in great care when Karla stays with them. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Geronimo is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $75 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 Geronimo 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 Geronimo 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 Geronimo 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
