“Our sweet old dog (13) was well taken care of. He loved his walks, he was calm when we got home, and she even cleaned up a poopy mess that was a result of us having to leave ssssuper early in the morning. Thank you!!!”
“Posie loved Jaylene! Jaylene did a great job caring for Posie this last week. She stayed in our home while we were gone. Everything was clean and neat when we got home and Posie was great! Jaylene sent us updates and photos throughout the week and that really helped relieve my anxiety! We plan to ask Jaylene to stay with Posie for our next vacation!”
“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!”
“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: Please only book me if you can provide proof of current vaccinations for your pet. I've had multiple of my own pets, including some with special needs. I can give medicine, supervise mealtimes, bathe, brush, trim nails, and anything else needed to give your fur babies the 5 star experience they deserve. I've been a freelance sitter for my friends before, but I'm looking to expand my work schedule beyond holidays and weddings. This is basically a full time job for me, and that focus is reflected in the service I give. You and your pets can rest assured that I will provide full attention to their needs for the booked service period, no shortcuts, no excuses. I require all pets in my care to be up to date on their vaccinations. Please send me proof of current rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and canine influenza shots upon booking. Any concerns I notice with long term health such as allergies, gait issues, or fleas will be communicated during the visit and a solution can be deployed in real time. Dogs will be monitored for signs of fatigue during hot weather, and I will make sure they don't burn their paws on walks.
“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”
About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“Danae was amazing! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. We felt at ease knowing our happy pup was in good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Amy was wonderful! She watched our 10 year old dog at home while we were away and took amazing care of her, fed her, gave her her medications and took her for walks. Our dog is very expressive and I could see she was happy from the pictures she sent. We highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Amy!”
About: I started working on Columbus Animal Rescue since July 2023, I have experience taking care of dogs. In my work i use to take them for walks, bathe them and feed them. I take care of many different breeds! I need clear instructions so I can do an excellent job with your pet. Im currently working few hours a week, so i have a lot of free time to take care of your pets from Monday to Thursday from 10am to 7pm. I take care of dogs at your home so we will be in a place where your dog is already used to be. Your instructions will be followed exactly as given, they will receive the affection they deserve.
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
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, she was extremely professional and took excellent care of my pups, Bella and Jasper, over the weekend. She kept me informed the entire time and sent tons of photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Communication was fantastic, and I truly appreciated her attentiveness. Overall, I am beyond pleased with Jennifer’s service and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend to any pet owners looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“We are always skeptical leaving our fur baby with a stranger however we were very, very pleased. We received updates daily along with photos and could just tell they were having a good time together. Jasmine knows what she is doing and does it fabulously. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of Dakota and our home while we were away in Mexico. I think this is our 4th or 5th trip with you taking care of everything for us. We always feel really relaxed and comfortable knowing all is in good hands. Thank you for all you do! ❤️”
“Absolutely Recommend! Levi is not only wonderful with my dog Lexi - Levi house sat for 8 days while I was away on a trip. He went above and beyond in staying way past the 5pm "leave" time I had booked. Coming home my flight was delayed HOURS - and he stayed here until 1:30am when I finally got home, just to be sure I made it home so that my pup would be taken care of. Many thanks, Levi - very much appreciated.”
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.
“Kayla's was great - total animal lover! She sent photos of my boys and I could tell they were very happy in her care. Her communication was great - letting me know when she walked them, when she was going to be away, and reaching out with any questions. She took care of my home and even offered to water my plants if needed. She was wonderful - great experience!”

Janet did a great job taking care of our two fur babies. She was very communicative and took great care of them. They seemed to be very happy when we got home and everything was in great order. We even got lots of great pictures from Janet while she took care of them.
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.
Leaving our pups at home and overnight is a bit concerning for dog parents - but not so when Jennifer is doting on them. She is punctual, detail-oriented when it comes to any special attention our girls need, loving to them; simply put: Wonderful!, and we appreciate Jennifer very much.
We were very pleased with Lacey. She took very good care of our dogs, house and hummingbirds. The dog really did like her. Lacey kept us informed how things were going here at home while we were away and sent us pictures of Zeno and Annie during their activities. We would highly recommend Lacey. Bonnie and Jimmy Waller
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!
We love Alex!!! There’s so may wonderful things we could say about her including the fact that she’s great with our fur kids (even the shy ones), goes above and beyond (like taking out the trash and recycling), and is always a joy to work with! We can’t thank Alex enough!
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 $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 160 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.
