“Brigit was responsible, responsive, and capable with our maltipoo puppy for four days while we were gone. She sent picture updates, left the house tidy, and our pup was happy.”

“We thought Hoss did a terrific job. She was communicative, professional, and very loving to our two cats, who we like to describe as being needy. She sent us photos, kept us updated, and took care of the house. We couldn’t be happier.”

“Leah always takes very good care of my high maintenance fur babes! Keeps me updated with videos, pictures, and messages. She goes beyond what my expectations are. I highly recommend Leah I already have her booked for another 3 times.”

“Once again August thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur babies! Especially caring for the sore under Whiskey’s ear!! We feel so comfortable leaving them knowing they are in your care!”

“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“I was very pleased with how Hannah took care of my puppy and my home. Puppy kept thriving and she kept up with his daily training. It was a lot to ask for a long period of time.”

“Misty did a great job with our not-so-easy crew. Our shy dog warmed up to her quickly, and she was able to manage our sometimes belligerent cat without issue. Everything was as expected upon arrival home. We will definitely use her again!”

“Janelle was great, sent detailed updates and pictures. My girl got tons of attention and walks (her favorite!). My home looks cleaner than when I left even though I have no expectation for a sitter to tidy up. Thanks for keeping my pup safe & happy while I was on a business trip, definitely will book again!”

“When Leah came for the meet and greet, I had a good sense that my precious Luna would be in good hands. Leah stayed at my home for three and a half days while I was out of town in Seattle. She provided excellent care for my playful, high-energy Luna. Leah followed Luna’s care and feeding routine to the letter and sent me daily photos and video clips of them playing fetch and enjoying plenty of quality time together. Leah also went above and beyond by watering both my indoor and outdoor plants and bringing in the daily mail. Coming home to a spotless house, freshly washed sheets, and a calm, happy pup was such a wonderful feeling and made my return a real joy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leah and will absolutely reach out to her the next time I travel.”

“My dogs and I loved having Lauren stay with them. She is observant and trustworthy. I can tell how they connect with her that they felt at home with her. My 2 large dogs are high energy and talkative. They have been difficult to manage for friends and family in the past. Lauren was able to communicate with them and set firm boundaries. I really appreciated having her stay, spend time with them, and know they were safe and loved with her.”

“Malcom did a terrific job taking care of our two dogs and the rest of the house. His communication was excellent and timely. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs.”


“Marty was super communicative with lots of photos and updates of my dude, which is so important to anxious dog parents! He is super positive and accommodating - he even shoveled my sidewalk after a snowfall! And he was flexible when I had unexpected travel delays to make sure my dog wasn’t left alone! Really happy to have found Marty!”

“Josie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home. The dogs were very happy and the house looked great. I would definitely have her back again. Thank you!”

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”


About: A little about me: I’ve had a dog by my side every day since I was six years old — dogs are an integral part of my life, not just something I do on the side. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament, from tiny lap dogs to a 90-pound Labrador, and from bouncy puppies to dogs in their older years. Experience: My deepest experience is with senior and special-needs dogs. My Labrador had a series of health challenges, including three separate leg surgeries. I nursed him through every recovery, which meant walking him with a support sling until he was back on his feet. When he was later diagnosed with cancer, I cared for him through hospice at home — giving his daily medications and keeping him comfortable and loved right to the end. So if your older dog needs medication, a little mobility help, or just extra patience and gentleness, that’s something I genuinely know how to do. I’m just as comfortable with high-energy dogs. That same Labrador was a handful in his younger years, so I know what it takes to keep a strong, active dog happy and well-exercised. I also love puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to walk more than one dog at a time, and I have experience with leash-reactive dogs — I know how to keep walks calm, controlled, and low-stress for a dog who needs a little extra management. Right now I share my home with two girls — a 15-year-old Chihuahua mix and a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier — so both ends of the age spectrum are part of my daily routine. Before them I’ve cared for several terriers and a Border Collie mix, among others. I walk my own dogs every single day and I’ll keep yours on a good routine too. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends who were thrilled with the care I provided — beyond looking after their dogs, I kept their homes tidy, watered plants, and brought in mail, treating each home with the same respect I’d give my own. Services: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting: • Dog walking — I keep dogs safely leashed and give them a proper outing with a good sniff, steady exercise, and a potty break, adjusting the length and pace sensibly for the weather. • Drop-in visits — I come to your home to feed, refresh water, handle potty breaks, play, and give plenty of affection, plus tidy up any little messes before I head out. • House sitting — I stay overnight in your home and keep your dog’s whole world running on schedule (feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and steady company) while also looking after your place by keeping it tidy, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. Availability: I work from home and set my own hours, so I’m around for your dog far more than the average sitter — and I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Pet care is the center of my day, not an afterthought, which means real time and attention whether it’s a midday walk, an unhurried drop-in, or being present in your home throughout the day on an overnight stay. The only exception is the occasional family commitment, which I always know about well in advance, so I can be upfront about my availability every single time. Peace of mind: Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m always happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your pup having a good time, and I’ll check in as often as you’d like while you’re away. And should anything ever go wrong, I’m able to drive your dog to the vet in an emergency — so you can travel with real peace of mind. Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I work from home, my schedule is very open and flexible, so I can build my day around your dog's needs rather than squeezing them in. The only exception is the occasional family commitment I schedule around, and because those are always planned well in advance, I'll always know my availability far ahead of time and can be upfront with you about it. To give you a sense of how I run a day: my own dogs eat at 8am and 6pm, get a 20–40 minute walk in the evening, and I stay attentive throughout the day to when they need to go out. My younger dog gets dedicated playtime with her toys, and my senior girl gets her medication right on schedule every other day. I keep that same consistency and attention for any dog in my care — sticking to your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication, and potty routine so their world stays steady while you're away. When I care for your dog in your home, safety comes first. I keep all doors and gates closed and latched, and I'm constantly aware of where your dog is — especially any time I'm heading in or out, so there's no chance of an escape. I follow whatever house rules and routines you set. I also treat your home with the same respect I give my own. When I dog-sat for family and friends, I kept their house tidy, watered their plants, and brought in mail while they were away. I will leave your home just as you left it, keep you updated with photos while you're gone, and communicate quickly about anything that comes up. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house in good order.

“Thanks Tahlese! She was responsible and dependable with great communication and attention to detail. She was also flexible and worked with us when we had a last minute (slight) change of plans. I would recommend Tahlese for your dog and cat care needs!”

Atumn was wonderful! My Nellie is extremely shy and scared with new people. Autumn let Nellie adjust to her with patience and love. The house was as nice as I left it. She kept me posted on Nellie. It was my first experience with Autumn as my sitter. I will definitely (and have already) book her again.

Dante was fantastic. He was able to help us out super last minute and went above and beyond. I appreciate that he didn’t just watch our two dogs; he prioritized them. He sent photos multiple times a day of them eating, going for walks, playing fetch, etc. I can’t emphasize enough how from the moment we met him we knew our dogs were in really good hands and that just makes traveling so much easier. Dante, seriously thank you for your help with Ranger and Jayce man. We really appreciate you.

We had such a great experience with Amani and would absolutely love to have her stay with Rose again in the future! From our very first meet and greet, we felt confident that Rose and our home would be in great hands. Amani stayed at our house and cared for Rose for nine days while we were out of town. She sent us several pictures and updates throughout our trip, and Rose looked so happy and comfortable in every single one. It was easy to see that she was getting plenty of love and attention, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Amani also went above and beyond with our home. She washed the sheets and towels, took care of the dishes, and made sure everything was clean and tidy for us when we arrived home late at night. It was such a thoughtful way to come home after a long trip. Thank you so much, Amani, for taking such wonderful care of Rose and our home! We truly appreciate you and hope Rose gets to spend time with you again on one of our future trips!

Josie was awesome! Our house was left immaculate and most importantly our fur babies were happy and well cared for. She took good care of my garden also and was very communicative! It was a treat to relax knowing our dogs were in good hands. We will definitely use Josie again.
This is our second time with Alexis! We always have a wonderful experience with her! She took such great care of him while we were away and kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Benny was well cared for and received lots of love and attention. We truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and communication throughout the week. We would absolutely trust her with Benny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!

Cristina did an incredible job housesitting with our three dogs and is truly a professional. She is very thorough, closely follows instructions around care, and goes above and beyond around even her presence in your home. She was very responsive, affirmatively let us know when /if issues or questions arose, and was easy to communicate with around our departure/ arrival times. We were able to enjoy 10 days away knowing our dogs were extremely well cared for and our home being looked after. 100% hope to work with her on an ongoing basis.

Corinne was great - our dogs are very suspicious to everyone they meet, but Corinne made friends with them very fast. She send us daily updates and pictures and we felt that they are in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Corinne again - and I hope she will be available than as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kirtland Air Force Base on Rover is $44.94 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 649 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kirtland Air Force Base. 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 Kirtland Air Force Base 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 Kirtland Air Force Base 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 Kirtland Air Force Base 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.

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.
