About: I grew up with doberman pinchers, my last dog was a cockapoo, and I've cared for every sized dog in between. I believe lots of exercise, praise, pets, and treats make happy dogs. I'm experienced in medication administration and I have a fully fenced yard. I work out of the house from 9am to 10:30am weekdays (teaching at UNM) so I'm home to be able to play, go for walks, and be flexible to accommodate the needs of your dog during most of the day. Whether your dog is high energy or laid back, they'll be content in my care. I do not currently have any pets but I have lots of squirrels, chipmunks, and birds to chase in my yard. I live in a great area for walks, and if they are the adventurous kind, we can even venture into the canyon! I have two kids who are usually in school from 8am to 2:30pm. They are 4 and 9 years old and will play with any willing dog. My kids can read dog body language and are cautious with any dog they aren't familiar with. I also have business insurance for in-home pet care, just in case!
“Shiela was great with our 2 kitties! She arrived right on time, sent us pictures, and communicated with us during her visit. Our girls responded so well to her, and we returned to very happy kitties. Would highly recommend Shiela!”
“Josh was very communicative, reaching out when there were concerns or questions. Two of my cats have special needs, so its important to me that someone who is watching them is willing to reach out for guidance when things are amiss. My cats seemed to really enjoy their time with Josh, they were well-fed, exercised, and got the perfect amount of attention for their needs. I would book Josh again in a heartbeat.”
“I am grateful to Diane and her daughter for taking such good care of my cat while I was away for three nights. They were great about feeding, making sure she had enough water and cleaning the litter box. Thank you!”
“Susan went above and beyond. I’m so happy I found her and I’ll definitely use her in the future. Both cats looked really happy in the pictures she sent too! I appreciate everything she did for us. Highly recommend.”
“Jess and her daughter were wonderful to work with, she had great communication and always sent pictures. I was so happy knowing my pup was doing OK while we were out. Thank you to Jess for your care and kindness! Would definitely recommend.”
About: A little about me, I’m currently serving active duty in the military but I miss dog sitting. I have 12 yrs experience with most dog breeds and I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible. Your pets will be in great hands. Also if you have a cat I can gladly sit for you still but if they are being boarded in my home I will need them to have their essentials as I do not own any cat products. I have experienced with senior dogs as well and I treat them a bit more gently so they feel comfortable. I do not have a lot of experience with special needs pets but I can still provide for them. All pets are welcomed. Available Monday through Friday 5pm to 7pm. Saturday all day and Sunday 12pm to 4pm. I can also try to work with your schedule and needs. I have a small fenced backyard. Two corgis. One is friendly and the other is scared of our dogs. If needed boarding in my home I will keep them separated.
About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was seven years old and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages and needs. Since age ten, I’ve fostered neonatal kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and care. I also have experience house sitting for family friends, often staying over a week at a time to care for their pets, maintain routines, and ensure their homes and animals are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m a high school student, and my classes run from 8:30 AM to 2:40 PM on weekdays. Outside of school hours, I’m fully available for pet care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. I’m able to provide attentive care before and after school and follow pets’ routines closely. Pets are not left alone for long periods during the weekends. On school days, they may be alone during my class hours, but I provide care before and immediately after school. I make sure pets get attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day and evening.
“Dena was put on this earth to care for animals and nobody can convince me otherwise!! Our puppies absolutely adore her and our old girl is relaxed, comfortable, and happy with her. For your focus on our pups safety and interactions, your extraordinary communication abilities, and for keeping an eye out on our house and package deliveries when you don’t have to, thank you Dena!!!! We are so lucky to have met you!!!!”
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
“Mel is clearly in-tune with dogs - well at least my dog, Bean! She was immediately affectionate with him and continued to be easy in his presence while we all got to know each other. During his first drop-in with Bean while I was away, he was super communicative - even sending a picture early in his visit showing Bean relaxing in the yard.”
About: I currently have 3 dogs (pitbull, red healer, chihuahua). Professionally worked at a doggie daycare and I just have a very sensitive heart for dogs/cats. I have another gig job ( I deliever for Amazon) so I can be very flexible. I really enjoy the freedoms of making my own schedules. My home sits on a state highway, so I am very vigilant about secure fencing. I do not allow my own dogs to be outside unless I am home.

Susan is a true animal person! She gave our very shy cat all the care and love we could hope for, ensuring Willow’s physical wellbeing and also, with great thoughtfulness and sensitivity, meeting our kitty’s needs for interaction and affection. We give her 10 out of 5 stars (Willow would even give her 10 out of 5 raw fish) 🐾❤️😻

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Los Alamos on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
