About: I have been pet sitting regularly for about three years however, I live on a Ranch and have experience in animals of all sorts. I have so many barn cats and four personal house cats. I can handle from your smallest hamsters to your largest breeds. I’m your girl I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I regularly pet sit a boxer and bearded dragon monthly on top of my animals that I already have. I am able to drop in or stay the night as needed. I have a large fenced in yard where my great Pyrenees is able to roam freely. My cats have a large cat tree crates throughout the house that they can lay in if they choose. they also roam around the house they do not go outside. All of my animals have lots of enrichment.
“Abigail took excellent care of Simba during our time away. She sent us picture updates and was communicative. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup. Would definitely have her again to watch our sweet Simba. Thank you Abigail!”
“When Leah came for the meet and greet, I had a good sense that my precious Luna would be in good hands. Leah stayed at my home for three and a half days while I was out of town in Seattle. She provided excellent care for my playful, high-energy Luna. Leah followed Luna’s care and feeding routine to the letter and sent me daily photos and video clips of them playing fetch and enjoying plenty of quality time together. Leah also went above and beyond by watering both my indoor and outdoor plants and bringing in the daily mail. Coming home to a spotless house, freshly washed sheets, and a calm, happy pup was such a wonderful feeling and made my return a real joy. I would wholeheartedly recommend Leah and will absolutely reach out to her the next time I travel.”
“My husky Koda, who is slow to warm up and suspicious of new people, absolutely loved Lauren! Her gentle demeanor was just what he needed, and I came home to a calm, happy dog.”
“Amber took good care of our pets. This was our first time using rover and a non family member to take care of our pets while away. Amber made me feel at ease and was really sweet and patient with our pets.”
“Michelle did an excellent job of caring for our Labrador and two cats in our home. She was very communicative and kept in touch with us the whole 10 days we were gone. She sent photos and little updates. She made sure the dog got regular walks, even taking him hiking one day! She also left the house spotless. She really went above and beyond! She clearly loves and cares for animals! Trustworthy , dependable and she’s great to work with! I highly recommend her!”
“Luca did a great job pet sitting for us. He followed our directions, took great care of the house and was very caring with our 2 dogs. We appreciated that he sent pictures and updates about how our pups were doing. He watered plants and walked the dogs too. We will use Luca again.”
“My daughter and i went on a toadtrip to CA to visit potential colleges for about 10 days. I contacted a lot of people on Rover somewhat last minute. Faris was the first to respond! And I am so happy and appreciative that I chose him! He is the absolute best! He's so kind and friendly and professional and funny and totally loves my 2 husky brothers. He's making home-made dog food due to my pups sensitive digestion. He walks them daily if not twice a day when its not too hot. He's house sitting as well and stays with my guys most of the time. He's very aware of protecting them from the heat. He's a great communicator. He listened to me about the dog training Ive dome so he could keep it up while Im away. He sends messages daily with walking pics and others. He often tells me how much he loves my Huskies! I am overjoyed that I found him!! I know without a doubt that my Pups are having the time of their lives! Thank you Faris!!!”
About: I have trained and raised family dogs growing up. My family loves doberman's so I have a lot of experience with bigger dogs as well as medium more energetic dogs like German shorthaired pointers. I have experience taking care of family friends dogs as well from dogs of any size or breed. I'm currently attending school at UNM on MWF. I am available for early morning and night drop-ins Sunday-Monday as well as afternoon visits on Mondays and Fridays. My dog is high energy. I play with her favorite toys when I get home and take her on daily walks around the neighborhood. My dog loves pats and I give her lots of attention.
“Mariah was amazing! Lots of communication and pictures. Kept the dogs and chicks well watered, fed and happy. Took amazing care of the house while staying here in our home. We will use her always if we can! Highly recommend Mariah! We love her and so did our pets❤️”
“Christina was great! From the moment she first met with my four large dogs you could tell that she is very experienced and comfortable with animals. That energy led to the dogs warming up to her immediately. She showed up on time and sent updates and photos throughout the stay. I highly recommend her!”
“Skyler is so caring and awesome! I contacted Skyler with limited notice for a last minute trip. She came over the same day for a meet and greet. She wasn’t put off by my barky dog. Throughout the short day Skyler kept me updated and sent me pictures of my dog. When my dog unexpectedly got scared of intense thunder, Skyler reached out to see if there was a thing she could do to comfort her. Skyler is super caring and communicative! Will be booking with her in the future! 💗✨”
“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”
“Love Martina, she communicates well and takes good care of the dogs. This is the 3rd or 4th time I have used her. She is awesome, thank you for taking care of my home and the dogs”
About: I’m a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys being active and spending time with pets. Being a four-year basketball and track athlete taught me discipline, communication, and responsibility. I’m comfortable following schedules, going on walks, giving pets attention, and respecting people’s homes while house sitting. I’m a UNM student with classes ending by 3:30 PM at the latest each weekday. I’m available afterward to walk, care for, and spend quality time with your dog/dogs! I also have more flexibility on weekends. I take safety and trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
“Celeste is The Best! It was my first time leaving my kitten and Celeste took the best care of her! She was seeing me pics daily and kept me updated. I appreciate easy communication and her willingness to go above and beyond! She is the most wonderful and caring pet sitter you can possibly find. From now on - only Celeste! Thank you ?”
“Autumn took good care of our little dog, Marvin, while we were out of town. Marvin is shy but warmed up to Autumn. Autumn kept us informed by sending us daily updates and photos of Marvin. We are extremely pleased with the service Autumn provided.”
“Marcus was fantastic. His communication is stellar and he answered all my questions and eased my nerves as this was my first time using Rover. He came over and met my dogs beforehand and I immediately felt comfortable and confident having him in my home taking care of my 3 dogs. My dogs were well taken care of by Marcus and I look forward to knowing I have a great person to watch them. I received sweet pictures and an update on how each one did during their time together. A huge thank you to Marcus.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Los Ranchos de Albuquerque
August is literally THE BEST! They stayed with our baby Apollo for nearly 3 weeks and took the absolute best care of him and our house! We got great updates daily and August made sure that Apollo was having a good time even though we were away. I always feel guilty leaving our pal behind when we are on a trip, but he was in the best hands with August and I didn’t even once have to worry! I can’t say enough great things about them and I know Apollo sees August as a true best pal (and he is very discerning with people!!). Thank you August!
Abby did a great job caring for our cat and dog for four days. She even kept all our plants alive and thriving! We also had a concern about a potential water leak, which she made the time to address right away. We returned to a happy home and happy pets. Would highly recommend!
CK took excellent care of our little dogs and our house. It made such a difference in our going away. We didn’t have to worry about anything. When you see Kay was there and was taking care of everything. The doggies just loved her and she sent us pictures. She’s just the best.
We were a bit nurvous leaving our pups, River and Ollie, with someone new but Nick was great with them both! He took great care of them, feeding twice a day and giving River her daily medication. Nick even gave River a bath after an unfortunate run-in with a skunk. He sent regular updates and pictures so we knew how things were going. Everything was great when we got back, the dogs were happy and he even kept the house very clean, bonus! We normally have family watch our dogs but will definately use Nick again when family does not work out.
I highly recommend Stephanie to care for your pets. She is kind, reliable, and an excellent communicator. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in her care. They were happy, well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have her back in the future.
Teresa was so great staying with our dog. He’s kind of a goofy guy. And she just came in and handled him very well. And for us she was so good at keeping us updated and with pictures. Our house looked perfect when we returned. I am grateful it all went so well.
We hired Keri to pet/house sit for us while we were away over a 2 week period. I could not be more thrilled with her work! All 4 of my pets adored her. Keri sent so many pictures and videos. I never had to worry about how they were doing. I loved seeing all the fun they were having, especially the wonderful walks my dog got to go on. Keri left our house in amazing condition. Everything was clean including fresh bed linens on the bed she used. She even left a note detailing what pet supplies we needed to replenish soon. It made coming home so easy. The pets were excited to see us, but didn't freak out and get overwhelmed when we walked through the door. That was a sign to me that they had been thoroughly taken care of and loved while we were gone.
Shakti is an amazing pet/house sitter! She is responsive and thorough, and she took great care of our dog and two cats. She followed instructions and went above and beyond by trying to mediate the ongoing drama we have between our two cats. We will definitely use her services again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Los Ranchos de Albuquerque
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque on Rover is $46.62 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 647 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. 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 Los Ranchos de Albuquerque 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 Los Ranchos de Albuquerque 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 Los Ranchos de Albuquerque 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.
