“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of Dogs for a very long time, I’ve house sat for weeks for multiple friends! I have owned two cats and two dogs of myself! I love taking care of animals! I’m currently a full time student but most classes end around noon! So I’m available multiple hours at a time and very flexible with staying overnight aswell! I am open to anything you need from me! I am in the dorms so having the pets at my home would not be an option! But I am open to staying with your animals and doing anything that you need me to care for your fur babies!
“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.”
“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 am comfortable working with multiple dogs at once. I have experience with up to 5 dogs at one time. I am used to puppies, adults and elder dogs. I am a recent graduate currently looking for fulltime employment so my availability is open and I am flexible when it comes to fitting pet care into my routine. I am detail oriented, respectful and can follow instructions on how you would like me to care for your pet. I have experience working with dogs and cats and am comfortable in multi-pet homes.
About: I bring two years of prior experience as a Rover pet and house sitter, meaning I already understand the high level of trust, communication, and respect required when stepping into your home and caring for your furry family members. At 27 years old, I offer a mature, highly responsible, and attentive approach to pet care. I pride myself on being deeply observant of a pet's energy and health, ensuring they stay safe, active, and completely at ease while you are away. >Flexible Server Schedule with Great Availability Because I work as a server, my weekly schedule is highly flexible and leaves me with large blocks of open time during the day. This structure allows me to easily prioritize pet care and drop in when your animals need it most. Whether you need regular house sitting, daytime check-ins, or mid-day walks, I can be readily available with just a little advance notice. I am excellent at managing my time, so you can count on me to be prompt, reliable, and entirely focused on keeping your pets on their normal routines. Safety and trust come from understanding that every animal is unique. My own pets are deeply loved, and a lifetime of living with animals has taught me the importance of balancing their natural daily needs—whether that means high-energy playtime, dedicated exercise, or quiet, uninterrupted relaxation. • Following Your Routine to a T: You know your pet best. I pride myself on being exceptional at following the owner’s specific directions. Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule, specific walking routes, or house rules, I ensure your routines are maintained exactly as you want them to keep your pet's stress levels zero. • In Your Home: Because I focus heavily on house sitting, my priority is maintaining a secure environment. I double-check locks, secure gates, and keep a highly attentive eye on your pet's body language and well-being in their own comfortable surroundings. • In My Home: When I do care for pets in my home, they receive constant, vigilant supervision. I keep the environment calm, organized, and closely managed so that every animal feels safe and gets the personal attention they deserve.
“Gizelle was amazing help and very communicative throughout her entire care of my babies. My children can be very picky and special but she took the time to get to know them and she was very attentive to their needs. From a last minute booking she definitely took on my request with no hesitation and she was very kind and respectful. I would love to have her care for my babies again. Thank you!”
“We are so thankful to Blayne! After our rover cancelled on us two days before our trip outside the country we were freaking out, but she was quick to answer our messages and came to meet the doggies right away. She was also very patient with me and my paranoid requests (bad sitter experiences before) and was so great at communicating with us and sending us updates. We were able to see the doggies warming up to her very quick from her photos, and that is a testament to the great care and love she provided them. Will definitely book again, she was amazing!”
“Maria was a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs loved her. She treated them like they were her own. She sent pictures so I could see how they were doing. My house was clean and tidy when I got home. I am very grateful for her great service. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of several pets throughout the years since I was a child. I like to form bonds rather than just feed the babies!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have a lot of hands on experience. I’ve helped family and friends with pet sitting over the years and have experience with potty training, crate training, and teaching basic tricks. I’m patient, dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away:) Caring for pets fits easily into my weekly routine. I currently have a flexible summer schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, check-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I make sure to only accept bookings that I can fully commit to so that each pet gets reliable care and plenty of attention. I understand that pets are family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I feel the same way about my own dogs, so I always treat the pets I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection that I would want for my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of companionship and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is not only to meet their basic needs, but to help them feel safe, cared for, and loved until their family comes home.

Jasmine did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! She was dependable, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!
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 💜
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!
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.

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
