“Lise was amazing. She took such good care of our three dogs in our home and was very caring, made sure to keep a watchful eye on each one of them as there are two elders that need a little more attention, and responsible with not only our pets but with our home. I really appreciate a kind heart and trustful person like Lise. She is my first choice to take care of my pets and I 100% recommend her. Lise, thank you!”
“Oliver is amazing! He was incredibly patient with my shy, slow to warm dog Tulip. I am super grateful for his friendly professional attentiveness and meeting with us 4x before the actual dog home sit days to get to know her. She bonded after the 5 nights with him. A very heart-warming successful Rover experience. So relieved to have a dependable and local dog sitter. Wr highly recommend Oliver!! 🤍🐶”
“Dustin is probably one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. He was so respectful, responsive and responsible. He obviously cared about our fur babies very much and was great at sending pictures, updates and any questions. If I asked a question he was very quick to respond. It’s awesome to come home to a neat house too. It’s great knowing we have a local sitter now, if needed.”
“Joy is absolutely wonderful and fantastic. She took care of our Australian Shepherd who needs careful watching because of colitis. Joy gave our pup the medications and was very, very attentive. She sent us photos and was extremely kind. We would hire her again in a second!”
“Kenedi did an incredible job watching our three doggies - one of which was a 5month old pup with lots of spastic energy. She was punctual, thoughtful and considerate and our dogs absolutely loved hanging with her. We'd absolutely book Kenedi again in the future.”
“Madison is amazing! She took great care of our pets and home and we were able to fully be present on our trip knowing everyone was so well taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone :)”
“Violeta sent pictures and emails frequently for me to feel sure that my girl was doing well. Whenever there was a question about something she was in touch to get it right.”
“Cheyenne sure went above and beyond our expectations!! Riggsy warmed up totally to her. When we returned home, the house was just as we left it. Riggsy was excited to see us, but she was not stressed out about our long absence. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“Amanda is an awesome dog-sitter. She helped us twice this past week and was very prompt, responsible and personable. She was great with our dogs and we will definitely be booking with her again. We highly recommend Amanda for your dog-sitting needs.”
“Bryne has been great the two times she took care of our pup. Our puppy is happy with her and actually eats! Bryne is now our go-to person whenever we need to leave town without our dog.”
“Jodi watched Rascal in my home while we went to a wedding. She was super communicative through the entire process, and I felt at ease with my beloved 16 year old long haired chihuahua being left in her care. She administered meds and made sure he didn’t fall off the bed or in the pool during his frequent potty breaks with less than stellar eyesight. I also don’t think I’ve ever had a more tidy house guest. We have already rebooked Jodi for our next long weekend trip over the 4th of July!”
“David is simply the best! We came to Santa Fe from Denver for a few days (Monday-Thursday) and we have 7 and 8 year old Border Terriers. Our male has epilepsy, and we do not leave him alone, so we hired David to watch them. David came on Monday night, Tuesday day, Tuesday night, Wednesday day and Wednesday night so that we could go out to dinner, go to the spa, etc. He stayed for several hours at a time, which was a big ask, especially since he has his own pup, but we couldn't ask for a better experience with him. He arrived on time or early, walked them, played with them, administered medications, gave them snacks and loved them! He sent us lots of videos and photos and updates, so we knew they were being taken care of and meds given, etc. He is also just a lovely person, and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He has a calming energy which was great for my boy with epilepsy. We won't hesitate to use him again if we go back to Santa Fe. Thank you so much David!”
About: I traveled in a van for many years and before I got Richard, I cared for over twenty dogs of all sizes and temperaments all over the country. I still travel by van and offer in-home pet sitting anywhere around the American West. When I lived in Tucson, I volunteered at the shelter and fostered dogs. I will work with the schedule and routines that your dog is used to so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I’m also an avid hiker and would love to take your pups with me on outdoor adventures if they are up for it. Also happy to take short, gentle walks. I take excellent care of the spaces where I pet sit. I will clean before I leave and will respect your privacy or any of your preferences that we discuss ahead of time.
“Mel went above and beyond watching our dogs at our home and we couldn’t be happier. We appreciated the photos and check-ins while on our trip and we would absolutely book with Mel again.”
“Jessica was wonderful. She was very reliable for communication which made me feel comfortable. We came home, and our dogs were very relaxed and happy. She was last minute able to accommodate us an extra day due to unforeseen travel problems which was a lifesaver!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Loma
Leila watched my two dogs, Oso and Lona, for the afternoon and evening while I was in Santa Fe for work. She was flexible with the time and super attentive! Both dogs seemed really happy and comfortable with her, which made me feel so much better about being away for the day. I really appreciated her help and would happily book with her again!
Lily was great! Our dogs love basically everyone but they rarely feel at home enough to nap and snuggle with the sitter. We got lots of pictures throughout the day of them doing just that, comfortable enough to snuggle and nap all day. Definitely will have her watch them again!
I have utter confidence in Lana. She is my go-to for when Bean needs walking or a housesit when I need to be away. Most recently I had to leave town suddenly for a family emergency and ended up being away for a week. Knowing that that Lana was in my home looking after Bean provided me great comfort during a very trying time.

The average cost of House Sitting in La Loma is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $105 per night.

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 La Loma 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 La Loma 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 La Loma 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
