About: In the 12 years of caring for dogs I’ve gone from dogs as tiny and as chihuahuas and dogs as mighty as the Bull Mastiff. I’ve come across a variety of ages, energy levels, personalities, different medical needs, and temperaments in dogs. I am do train some basics and socialize dogs as young as possible to help prepare them long term for the world around them and set the dog up for success. I do work from home and can flex my schedule to accommodate my current clients pets to allow the maximum attention to the animals needs. I have a very open flowing schedule to allow for lots of flexibility in time to give to any of my animals. I give my dogs food later in the night, every 2-4 hours I will allow my dogs to take bathroom breaks, my dogs are usually always with me where I go through out my home or in the backyard, in situations I can’t supervise them they are placed in the crate to keep them as safe as possible. Excersize to help maintain social skills are given as often as necessary to keep the dog acclimated to daily life outside of the home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Las Cruces
I am nothing but impressed with the detailed care Jasmine provided for our two boys. What I valued more was her exceptional communication. She made our time away from our pups worry free and enjoyable. She deserves more than five stars and I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you for everything Jasmine💙
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.
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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
