Susan was so good with our kitties while we were out of town. Thanks for all the photos and updates! We came home to two happy cats and could tell that they had been well cared for.

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.

Nina is wonderful. She is so pleasant to work with and she took excellent care of our two cats while we were out of town for a week. I hate leaving our kitties behind, so I really appreciated that she sent photos every day. This was my first time using Rover. Thanks, Nina!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 14. I have a lot of family and friends that always call me to pet sit when they go on vacation. Or, to just do simple things like walk or bathe or feed their pets. I have also assisted with grooming and maintenance on pets! I currently do not have a job so I am available full time to care for your fur babies! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard so they have plenty of room to run around! I am currently not working so I have plenty of to play with your pups and kitties! I am pretty much open with my schedule expect for maybe 2 weekends a month. I have a fenced in yard with two lovely dogs. I also have 3 cats and they all get along very well. My pets have free roam of my house at all times. If you prefer any kind of crating, I can do that as well. I am very on top of making sure my animals have what they need as when I am home they always receive my full attention.

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 taken care of my family friend’s dog for 7 years and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can provide companionship if your pet is comfortable around other animals. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. If needed, I can also crate your dog to ensure they are safe and comfortable

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’ve been caring for pets for over 35 years, and I just love it! I have to travel for work which means I can’t have my own right now, so looking after others is a true joy. I naturally treat every animal as if they were my own — and making sure they feel secure, loved, and happy while their parents are away. With every sit, I bring both reliability and heart. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and more — each with their own unique personalities and quirks. I’ve played with energetic puppies who needed training and adventure, given gentle support and patience to sweet seniors, reassured nervous or shy animals with steady routines & space, and comforted sick or elderly pets in their final days. One of the most important lesson I learnt came from my own senior dog, who had arthritis. Beyond medication, what mattered most were the little things. I could see from her body language that her favorite time of day was simply sitting together in the sun while I gently massaged her and talked to her. Those quiet moments made her feel safe and deeply loved — and they taught me how much presence and empathy matter in pet care. I work remotely with flexible hours, which means I can spend plenty of time with your pets — for walks, play, belly rubs, or simply quiet companionship so they don’t feel alone. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been sitting through other platforms where I’ve built excellent reviews and references. Having hosted sitters myself, I also understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe clear communication is key, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos, feedback, and check-ins so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for. My work is remote so I can be anywhere as long as I have wifi. I only work part-time with flexible hours which gives me the space to adapt to your pets needs & also have the time to for plenty of walks, cuddles & play. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure their routines stay consistent so they feel secure — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest. I pay close attention to each animal’s signals, balancing structure with the affection, stimulation, or quiet companionship they need. Safety is always a priority. I follow your instructions carefully, ensure food and medications are given correctly, and keep doors, windows, and gates secure. I maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel relaxed, and I treat every home with the same respect as my own. I’m a naturally tidy person who cleans as I go, so you’ll return to a home that feels just as you left it. Having hosted sitters myself, I fully understand the trust (and nerves!) that come with leaving your pets and home in someone else’s care. That’s why I believe strong communication is key. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and even video calls as often as you’d like — so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

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’ve always had a special love for animals and the outdoors. I grew up surrounded by pets and have had multiple pups throughout my life, including my two sweet Border Collies, Meko and Oppie. They brought so much joy and personality into my life, and caring for them taught me how much love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. I also have a background as a wilderness guide, so being outside and exploring nature is a huge part of who I am. I know how much dogs love getting outside, sniffing around, going on adventures, and simply enjoying the fresh air—and I’d love to give your pup that same experience! Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for weeks at a time, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility of caring for a pet while their person is away. I’m attentive to their routines, personalities, and individual needs, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a friendly, easygoing spirit that animals seem to pick up on right away. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a long walk, some playtime, or simply a cozy companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be there for them. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I love being outdoors, staying active, and having animals by my side. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m also perfectly happy spending a quiet day at home keeping your pet company. My goal is to make pet care feel seamless for both you and your pet, while keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, their routine, and any special instructions you leave for me. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously and will always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. As a wilderness guide, I’m comfortable being responsible in changing environments and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m also a big believer in clear communication, so I’ll keep you updated and let you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾

About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.

This review is for Nina's introduction visit with Roz. Roz is my normally very shy adult cat, but she immediately took to Nina at first introduction. I was surprised how well Roz liked a brand new person. Very happy to see them get along so well at the first meeting, and Im looking forward to having her stop in on Roz while Im away for a few days!

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 Pet Sitting in Los Alamos on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 259 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Los Alamos. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Los Alamos stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Los Alamos. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
