“Cienna was perfect! She was so nice, respectful, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We were so happy with all her pictures and updates while we were away, and we returned to a very healthy and happy pup! She took great care of our house and our most precious baby. We would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch over Prada!”
“Jaylene lovingly cares for our dog Posie. She always leaves our home clean and neat. She follows all my requests so I know Posie is well cared for. I recommend Jaylene to care for your pet.”
“Janet was such a gift to us and our pup. She was extremely tentative to her needs. She paid close attention and took thoughtful, mindful care of our girl. We could not recommend her any more highly. We will certainly be reaching out to Janet in the future!”
“Danae was amazing! She checked in frequently, sent pics of my girls, and is very friendly and responsible. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pets were in capable hands. I would book her again in a heartbeat!”
“Lainie was amazing! She provided updates and handled our high energy pup very well. She provided lots of cuddles and exercise. She also was helpful in a pinch when our arrival time back home changed and we need one last check-in. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kellie was wonderful with my pups and kitties. She helped me out of a bind when my house sitter bailed on me last minute. Medications given when needed along with regular updates to me. House was in great condition when I returned. Would definitely use her again”
“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”
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.
“Rachel was terrific taking care of my pooch, George. When I introduced them to each other I could tell Rachel was comfortable around dogs and George sensed this right away. Rachel is dependable, reliable and followed all care instructions perfectly. I had to make several schedule changes while I was away due to flight cancellations, and Rachel was flexible and went with the flow. I felt assured that she was dedicated to being helpful. I am grateful to know Rachel and I will definitely use her services if I have to travel again. I highly recommend Rachel.”
“Amelia was amazing. She was communicative and loved all 3 of my dogs like they were her own. I’m so grateful for her dog sitting and her care. I’m looking forward to future visits!”
“Jasmine took excellent care of my dog, Luna, who is recovering from surgery. She was really good with my dog, brought a toy to play with her! Jasmine is very nice, attentive and was here on time for both the meet and greet and the sitting date. She shared updates and pictures throughout the day so I had a peaceful day at work, knowing that my dog was in very good hands. I know Luna loved Jasmine because she cried a little bit when Jasmine left! I will definitely contact her again soon!”
“Oh my word! In two days I came home to a different dog! (Not literally) We left our basset with high separation anxiety in her care and came home to a dog that didn’t freak out or jump up on us! It’s obvious that she loves animals and understands their needs. We could not be more grateful!”
“Allison came to us in our moment of NEED. I had never used rover before but we got stuck while out of town and had no one to watch our fur babies. So thankful to have found Allison and when we got home, all three of them were SO happy!! Allison was so attentive to all of their needs and made sure to ask any and all questions as they arose. She sent us pics and videos everyday, which really put our minds at ease. Allison is now our go-to dog sitter and house sitter when we leave home. Don’t even go to anyone else’s profile. Allison is as far as you need to go!!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job caring for our 17-year-old dog while we were away. She was prompt, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire experience. Our dog seemed very comfortable with her. What really stood out was Savannah's understanding of senior dogs. Because she has experience with an elderly dog of her own, she understands the extra attention, patience, and care that older pets often need. That gave us peace of mind knowing our senior dog was in such capable and compassionate hands. We would happily recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Alexa is so kind & sweet and extends those qualities to your fur babies. We have 3 puppies with various needs and she took care of them like they were her own. The pups were in great hands and we will be using her anytime we travel. We highly recommend Alexa for any dog sitting/house sitting/pet care needs!”
“Paige is AMAZING! Our dogs are pretty high-maintenance and Paige was an absolute pro. We never leave our dogs - ever, and having Paige to spend time with our pups freed us and was a true luxury. She is professional, responsible, and the dogs (and we) liked her immediately. I highly recommend Paige to care for your dogs. J Spen”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my Belgian Malinois, Ellie, she took the extra mile to make sure Ellie was safe during their walk. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and followed all of Ellie's routines, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was also so understanding of our travel situation and incredibly flexible, which meant so much during a stressful time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for loving Ellie like she was your own!”
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: I have experience with taking care of several different animals: Birds, reptiles, amphibians, all dog sizes, all cat breeds. I also have experience with caring for animals with special needs such as medication, disabilities, or abuse recovery. I am a part-time receptionist and freshman in college, however with a busy schedule, I always make time for my 3 cats, I visit my moms to take care of her 3 dogs for any emergencies or assistance for general pet care, and still manage to care for my clients pets with all requests followed. I like to gently build trust with any animal I'm working with, even if they never end up letting me pet them, I'm not bothered. I'm there to care for them, keep them safe, and provide comfortability.

There are too many AMAZING things we can say about Alex!! She’s so patient and thoughtful with all our fur kiddos, she’s responsive and kind to our routines/requests, and the house always looks great when we get back! She emptied trashes and vacuumed - totally unasked! We appreciate Alex for all she does to help make being away from the kids less stressful 💜
Allison was fantastic! She went above and beyond, not only for our pets, but for us as well! She was upfront about what "she wasn't good at", but we came home to her being good at those things anyway! We were well informed the whole time, got lots of pictures and the pups even got to go on more walks than usual, which I have on good authority that they were very happy about! We came home to a clean home and wagging tails! Only downside? I think my four dogs are disappointed that I came home! LOL! They can be a handful, and Allison was an absolute pro!
I can’t express how wonderful Levi is, my pets were loved and treated like royalty. My house was cleaner than I left it! My plants looked better than when I cared for them! He went above all of my expectations! Thank you Levi for all you did for me! I even had a wasp problem and he took care of it! I had a wonderful trip because of him! Please use his service, he will not disappoint!
Savannah has been wonderful with our two eight-month-old puppies, Susie and Boo. They have a lot of energy, and she handles them with patience and confidence. She’s dependable, easy to communicate with, and has been someone we can count on. We’d gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
Bethany is amazing! She sent photos and updates and even the pups that don't do well with strangers took to her; and to be honest, I trust the dogs instincts over my own! :) Despite getting ER sick while here, she made sure everything was done before taking herself to the hospital! To me, putting yourself aside to care for someone else's pups is just above and beyond! We will definitely be booking again!
Jasmine is amazing! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she was great with them and made me feel at ease leaving them which i have never done before and am already booking her for the next out of town trip. I have a very picky dog and he loved her which says alot to me. I got updates as requested and she is very responsive.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Gina took wonderful care of our house and two dogs, Sandy and Dusty, over the weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Sandy and Dusty were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. Communication was great, and it was obvious our dogs received lots of attention and love. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Las Cruces
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Las Cruces on Rover is $42.68 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Las Cruces. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Las Cruces 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 Las Cruces 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 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!
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
