“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”
“Our family had a medical emergency that lasted 4 weeks. I had never used a pet sitter before. Sarah took such amazing care of my fur kids, I am so glad I found her on Rover.”
“Rachel is sweet and so kind to the pets. I felt very comfortable going out of town knowing she would come check in on my cats. Excellent first experience with the app and Rachel’s services.”
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
“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!!!”
About: I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was 14. I've been relied on by several people I know to care for their pets and house sit for them while they're away and there have never been any hiccups! More recently I have also gained cat care experience! I am currently in my first year of graduate school and trying to make some money to help get me through! My weekdays are fairly busy but weekends are almost always free to hangout and take of all furry friends! I would be very accommodating to any pets needs and be very sure they stick to their schedule while being loved on. I will be more than happy to abide by any home rules and ensure everything is taken care of!

I have knowledge in training, senior pet care, and understanding pet behavior, ensuring your pets receive the attention they need. También hablo español! I work full time at a veterinary clinic, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to always find time to care for your fur baby when you need it I prefer to pet sitting in your home to keep your pet in their familiar, safe environment, reducing stress.

About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!
“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: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me since I've grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised multiple pups from their first tail wags to their golden years, and I currently share my life with two of my own. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a genuine passion. Every dog I care for is treated like family, receiving the same personalized love, patience, and attention I give my own. What truly sets me apart is my intuitive approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup feel safe, engaging an energetic dog with play and structure, or providing extra comfort and gentle care to seniors, I adapt with heart and experience. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority — and you can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. Right now, I have a flexible schedule since I am in medical school and can study at home, which gives me the perfect opportunity to dedicate my time to your pet. Being around pets brings me joy, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and well-managed environment. I live in an house with two friendly dogs — one small and one medium-sized — who love to socialize and play. I always do a slow, supervised introduction to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also have crates and indoor fencing available to provide space or separation if needed, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always a priority. I’m also flexible and happy to care for pets in their own homes. Some dogs feel most at ease in their familiar space, and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent — from feeding schedules to playtime and snuggles. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every dog with the same level of love, attention, and respect I give my own.
About: All my life there’s been a dog at my side as a child you could find me bonding with the family pets and to this day my love for animals has never faded. My pet care knowledge directly stems from raising two large rescue dogs working tirelessly to overcome their insecurities, instill proper leash etiquette, and learning how to interpret their body cues. My experience ranges from caring for nervous dogs, caring for senior dogs with canine dementia, and administering oral medications. Of course I can provide meals, exercise, and play a fun squeaky game with your pooch too. My ultimate goal is to provide care with the same love and attentiveness given to my animals whether it’s a drop in, walk, or house sit. Presently working from home which allows me flexibility with scheduling and overall very eager to meet all you loving pet parents. Currently working from home my schedule is flexible the goal is to accommodate you when you need it the most because life happens! Everyday except Saturdays is open for appointments so let’s set up a meet and greet I might be the right fit for your family. Open for early/late morning walks, mid day walks, and or drop ins throughout the day. My hope is to make life easier for you! First and foremost the animals are always my priority, your residence will be treated as my own, and all associated surroundings will be given the respect it commands. Be assured all expectations you set for your fur baby will be executed with empathy, professionalism, and patience. Animals have been a constant within my life for as far back as I can remember rest easy knowing I’m excited to provide care and you’ll have me in your corner when you need it the most.

“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!”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.

These roles have given me hands-on experience caring for pets of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m knowledgeable about daily care routines and focused on providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every pet! I am available on weekdays and on some weekends. I am available all day and some nights so I will have plenty of time with your pets! A fence yard is great for a safe environment for your pup! A good set of instructions will ensure that your pet is getting the exact care they need!
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.

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.

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!

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.
