“If we can recommend anybody to watch over your pup we recommend Berenisse! We left our fur baby for 3 nights 4 days with Berenisse and during that time, Berenisse was in contact with us, showing us videos and pictures of our pup and keeping us up to date with our puppy’s activities. While on vacation, Berenisse made our trip worry free and gave us that peace of mind that our puppy was in great hands. Berenisse is very knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you Berenisse for everything. We will be coming back for sure 👍🏽”
About: I have experience with my 2 dogs and our friend dogs for about 8 years now. We used to take them to walk , hike and beach whenever we could. All my family love dogs and take cares of our furry friends like our owns. I am housemaker with cute 2 boys who are high school and college. And 3rd son Bruno who is always with me at home. I love dogs and always wanted to be with them to play and teach. I have a House with big back and front yard fully fenced. Also on the walk we always keep dogs on leash whenever we go.
“Jeanine was very willing to have a pre-stay meet up to introduce our dogs and give my dog the opportunity check out her place. She sent an update and photo of Shiloh's stay even though I didn't specifically request one. My dog's stay was just for one night, but I could tell she felt right at home and had a great time. ”
“Lynn and Marty were fantastic sitters for my fur baby. I had been looking for a while for a good fit for my senior dog and ended up finding them a week before my trip. Lynn offered up a phone call so I could talk about the care and treatment I needed. I was so worried to leave my pup since she’d been having some health issues, but when it was time to drop her off, Lynn and Marty and their senior fur baby dog had the best vibes and wanted to make sure my pup was well taken care of. I could tell my pup felt right at home and loved exploring their nice yard. I got regular photos and updates on how she was doing and whether she’d eaten. When I picked her up, Lynn and Marty said they’d miss her and she looked relaxed and happy. I would definitely be a repeat customer and would recommend this gem of a place for pet care 🐾 💕”
“Ashley was very prompt to respond to my dog sitting request which was honestly very last minute! She and her husband took great care of my dog for almost a full week. Very professional and accommodating, with the added bonus of their own sweet pup for mine to play with!”
“Anne took great care of our special needs pup for 12 days. Our dog needs medication daily, and also had a cast on one of her legs. Anne was not fazed by any of that. It was such a relief to be able to go on our trip and not worry about our pup. We got regular updates and drop off and pick up was easy. Thank you Anne!”
“Damian was a wonderful friend to George ! I would definitely recommend him if you need someone to take care of your pet. We haven’t left George with many new people and our dog seemed very happy and relaxed in Damian’s care. George had a few special needs and Damian had no problem making sure they were met. He also made it a point to take him out everyday to one of his favorite nature walks (the Douglas Preserve) where he could interact with other dogs, which George loves. Damian has a dog of his own so you can tell he has a love and intuitive understanding for our furry friends. He went above and beyond in care for our dog George! Thanks Damian.”
“Wendy is incredible! I can’t imagine a more wonderful person to care for our pup. Bucky is a big, energetic dog and she was so thoughtful, caring, and a great leader for him. Gave wonderful pupdates and really put my mind at ease for the whole weekend that we were at our family event. We are forever grateful.”
“Andrea went above and beyond taking care of our dog, Penny. She is an older dog and Andrea made sure she followed her med schedule and had all of the potty breaks she needed!”
About: I have been providing pet (dogs, cats, and small animals) and house sitting services in Santa Barbara for the past 5+ years and have worked with many breeds and ages, including senior dogs. I provide individualized and attentive care for your fur babies. I’m dedicated to ensuring your dogs wellbeing while you are away - that means attention, playtime, exercise, feeding, and practicing commands. This is my primary work and my schedule is dedicated first and foremost to pet care. I do not have any pets of my own and do not board more than one dog (or a preexisting pack of dogs) at a time. I am happy to crate your dog if your prefer. I do not have a yard but guarantee numerous walks of varying distance and length, depending on your dog”s needs.
“Danielle does such a great job taking care of our emotionally and medically complex elderly dog. We’ll feel secure in knowing our dog is well cared for whenever she stays with Danielle.”
“Bailey had his own vacation. Suzette’s 5-star accommodations had been scouted before his 5-day stay so he was in heaven on arrival. Suzette sees Bailey’s fun and sweet spirit and loves my boy. It won’t be long before I get Bailey over to visit with Suzette and her sweet girl, Lilly Lu!”
“Sol was an amazing dog sitter for Peaches! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, giving us peace of mind. Peaches was well cared for, going on many walks which made her super happy! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sol again!”
About: As a responsible, energetic, experienced, and caring dog sitter/walker, my approach to pet care is rooted in a genuine love for animals. I’m committed to providing the best possible care for furry family members! I use positive reinforcement techniques with dogs. For puppies, I understand the importance of early socialization and basic obedience training to ensure a well-behaved and happy dog. For older dogs, I recognize the unique needs of older pets, including specialized attention to mobility issues, giving medication, and providing a comfortable and nurturing environment. I live in the San Roque neighborhood in Santa Barbara with a securely fenced yard. I am energetic and active and like taking dogs on walks in my neighborhood or yours or on the trails. I have a five-year-old male rescue husky named Yukio, who gets along well with other dogs. I pledge to treat your dog with the same love and consistent care that I provide for my own dog. I prioritize open communication with pet owners. Regular updates and photos on the well-being and activities of the pets under my care are part of my commitment to providing peace of mind to owners while they are away. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to provide you with exceptional pet care services so that you can rest knowing your dog is in excellent hands! I currently work from home and am available each day. During the work day, I take breaks to walk my / your dog and play with them. In the late afternoon/evening I like to take my dog/your dog to the beach, for a hike or a walk. I am highly responsible and easily do extras at your home - such as watering plants, bringing in mail, etc.,. At my home, I have a small yard with a secure fence.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Las Cruces can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Las Cruces home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Las Cruces.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Las Cruces. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
You and your Las Cruces sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
