“Janet was amazing. She did twice-daily drop-in visits and made sure my cat got her medication and supplements at the right times. More than that, though, she was great with with my cat, figured out her habits, and accommodated her whims. I was gone for ten days, and they developed their own routine. Janet sent lots of photos, so I knew my cat was doing well. I highly recommend her and will have her look after Tacy again in the future.”
About: I've been caring for animals for over six years and have experience with a wide variety of pets. In addition to being a dedicated pet owner, I have hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, where I learned how to recognize signs of illness, safely handle animals, administer medications, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I've also provided pet sitting services for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, tailoring my care to each animal's unique personality and needs. Whether it's keeping energetic dogs active, making shy cats feel comfortable, or caring for reptiles, birds, or other exotic species, I prioritize safety, routine, and enrichment. I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure while their owners are away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced and capable hands. Between being a full-time student and working part-time, I still have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever I can! I'm a big believer that pets thrive on consistency, so I'll work with you to keep their routine as normal as possible while you're away. Whether your pet needs an early morning visit, dinner time cuddles, or anything in between, I'm happy to help! Your pet's happiness and safety will always be my top priority. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect someone to show my own, and I take the time to learn each pet's routine so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, going on walks, or giving medications, I'll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet gets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I know every pet is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their personality, whether they want nonstop playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone to keep them company. I'll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. My previous veterinary technician experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior or health and stay calm if something unexpected comes up, giving you extra peace of mind. Above all, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being cared for like they're one of my own
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog-lover who hasn’t had the chance until now to pursue my dream of working with dogs full-time! My love for dogs has always been a big part of my life. In college, I worked for an animal boarding and daycare facility, I’ve frequently dog sat for friends and family, I worked with a nonprofit who trains therapy and medical dogs in college, and I had a sweet Brittany Spaniel growing up and have been living life with my hound dog Maci for the last 11 years. I’m excited to see how I can be of help with your pets! I am currently free and flexible to care for your pet anytime of the week! I am available for boarding periodically throughout the week and weekends. I prefer to care for pets in their known environment, but I do have a fenced yard and am able to crate a dog if needed
About: I have been around a variety of animals most of my life. I am currently training my dog to be a service animal and have previously had a senior dog. With my senior dog, I provided loving care and support as his mobility changed. I am currently minoring in companion animal science, with the intent to become a physical therapist for animals. I am currently a full-time student at NMSU as well as a part-time employee at NMSU. My availability will vary depending on the semester. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the hours I am available. I can provide potty breaks throughout the day, afternoon walks, kennel them if needed, house sitting, and provide picture updates if you are missing your fur babies.
“She did an amazing job taking care of my cats over the holidays. The daily photos showed how happy they were, she played with them, and even vacuumed their area without being asked. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care.”
“Amy did a great job watching our cat. Our cat can be a bit elusive, but Amy made an extra effort to connect with him and make him comfortable. She was also very helpful in offering to take care of plants & bring in package delivery. Daily pictures & texts made us feel comfortable. I would definately recommend Amy.”
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll

About: I have a lot of experience with large dogs and cats as I have 7 dogs and 2 cats myself. I also have experience with farm animals if needed! Back home, I would take out my dogs in the morning and let them play for atleast an hour. By midday, I would take them outside again and then bring them inside to play or sleep. By 6pm, everyone’s fed and playing until 8, which is bedtime. If needed, they get showers if they are dirty every other week, Safety-wise, I make sure their backyard is secure whil outside. Inside, I make sure they atleast have a crate our are in a clean area. I trust all my animals as I would a sibling such as animals are family members as much as pets.
“Adi is such a wonderful help for my little fur baby. She is extremely patient, loving, and kind to my kitty. She communicates/sends pictures frequently, and is a reassuring presence. This was my first time using Rover and Adi made the entire process seamless! Thank you Adi!!!”

I follow proper instructions regarding care or special medical needs along with care, play and love for all animals. I am available full time so walks and check-ins can be done at a convenient time, for you and your pets. I do offer pet boarding on weekends or over specific holidays, so you never have to worry about your pets boarding needs. I have a fenced yard and 1 small social but not over energetic pet to keep your fur baby company. An enclosed yard with a shaded porch to provide relaxation and a hydration station plus plenty of soft toys and tennis balls for all!
“Bonnie did an amazing job taking care of my diabetic, anxious cat while I was away. She even did the dishes, and followed up to make sure I was able to make it home safely through the storms. Her wisdom and intuition after 17 years working in veterinary care are priceless. Many thanks!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Las Cruces
Samantha was the best! She took pictures and left us updates, took our dog for walks and even went out of her way to change the water in the betta tank when it got too cloudy. She cared about our dog and our peace of mind while we were away and that is priceless. I keep going back to Samantha because we trust her and she does a great job.
Allison was amazing! From the first meeting to the completion of the booking, she was absolutely perfect. Great attitude and personality. My Rose loved her from the start. I will definitely be rebooking with her the next time I have to leave out of town!! Thank you so much, Allison for being amazing....
Pam and Kath were absolutely wonderful. We needed a mid-day visit because we didn't want to leave our dog alone. They stayed with her an hour, which was exactly what we needed. Later in the day they checked in with us to make sure we were back home. That's incredibly thoughtful and showed us how responsible and caring they are.
Savannah took care of our 4 dogs while we were gone on vacation. She kept us informed and sent many pictures. Savannah displays a love for animals and our dogs really like her. Our scared yorkie even warmed up to her and that is a real accomplishment. We will definitely book her in the future.
Kellie was absolutely wonderful. She did a great job of updating me and providing pics of my dogs to let me know they were doing well. When I got back they were happy and healthy. She saved my bacon, allowing me to go to my sister's wedding, while putting my mind at ease that my dogs were getting the necessary care. She went above and beyond on that front, and I'm incredibly grateful for her care of my dogs.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Las Cruces stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Las Cruces 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Las Cruces with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
