About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 5 and ever since then my love for animals has grown. I promise to do my best of care for your loved ones. As I would want the best of care for my own. My schedule is very open and flexible! I will do my best and to accommodate you. I promise to be very open and honest and message if there are any concerns! I will be open to whatever critics you give off and will follow any provided care for your animal. Please feel free to give me more instructions or ask any questions
About: Providing expert, high-level care for pets with complex needs. Whether your companion is senior, disabled, exotic, requires daily medication, or needs cautious handling for behavioral traits, I offer safe, knowledgeable, and dedicated care. A pet fits smoothly into my weekly schedule. Although I work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, I wake up early for morning routines and am fully free after 5:00 PM for evening care. My job is extremely flexible if an animal ever needs mid-day attention. Weekends are ideal, as I have full availability to provide attentive care all day and night. When pets enter an unfamiliar setting, I give them a quiet room to adjust at their own pace, maintaining their normal routine with periodic check-ins until they feel safe. In their home, I stick strictly to their schedule and give them space to relax. Every animal is different, so whether a pet is cuddly or standoffish, I respect their boundaries and offer love on their terms while keeping you updated on feeding, outside time, and behavior.
“Darby recently housesat for us and did a great job! Came back to a clean house and two happy dogs. She followed the guidelines we leave for all housesitters, never left the dogs for more than 4-5 hours without a potty break, and communicated well. Couldn't ask for anything more. We highly recommend her. We would absolutely call on her again if she weren't moving to San Diego soon. We wish her the best of luck in that market. Thanks Darby!”
About: As a graduate of the University of Arizona with a BS in wildlife conservation I have a special place in my heart for all animals. I've been brought up most of my life with animals, mostly dogs and cats. Their company, presence is special and something I have and will enjoy for the rest of my life. I have a Staffordshire bull terrier and my dad has two cats of his own I adore. Looking to work in my future as a game warden and have experience completing a veterinary assistant certification at pima community college and a certification from durrel on completing a endangered species recovery course in the United kingdom (jersey channel islands). This is something I've been looking forward doing for a while; having a wonderful time looking after such wonderful pets. Simply when an animal is happy I'm happy. I will always take time for your pet as they deserve as much time and attention as possible which I can definitely give to them. Make sure they are always safe and having a great time with lots of play and love, they are family and will treat them as such.
“Thomas was incredible with our 2 dogs. He conducted a meet/greet prior to our departure. Both dogs immediately loved him. He is an actual trainer, which also greatly benefited us. I could not believe how much our dogs learned in just 5 days. Thomas was amazing with communication and check-ins. He went above and beyond with brushing the undercoat of our shepherd and even taking out trash when he noted that neighbors had their cans out [not at all expected]. It was so nice to return to a clean home and happy/well cared for and happy dogs! I absolutely would 1000 % recommend his services!”
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was born. 24 years of animal care experience and ready to care for your furry friend! I am currently getting my Degree online for software development and looking for a way to be make some extra money while giving some babies the care they deserve while their owners are busy :) I have 4 dogs of my own. They are all very well taken care of, fed, and loved. They have their own safe space which is a play pen which has the door open because although they like to sleep in there they are allowed to come and go inside as they please :) They are allowed on the couches and love to snuggle up :)
About: Hi! Available for (much of) Santa Cruz and Cochise Counties, including Ft Huachuca. I grew up on a farm, worked at a vet clinic, and have always had animals and pets when my life permitted. I have a passion for our furry "family members" as well as learning all different types of animal behavior. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, donkeys, fish, and even took care of a camel a time or two. My professional and athletic life has taken me around the world, and frankly, caring for pets of family, friends and neighbors throughout the years has still always been a most gratifying highlight! I have the patience and energy to match dogs of all temperaments, so let me know how I can support you and your family! If my profile is visible, it means I have plenty of time to help out with your furry family members, be it pet-sitting, walking, or just checking in on them. I have a highly-flexible schedule and a vehicle large enough to crate/transport if needed. As far as housesitting, depending on the proximity, would be flexible on either daily check-in and/or possibly overnights. Please reach out in advance to discuss. I live on a large ranch but do prefer to keep them leashed when walking (until I know they heel well AND to keep YOU more confident). I'm flexible on this based on consults with you. They would sleep indoors, and if you prefer, I could easily crate as well. Non-smoking home. You can bet I'll treat them as my own!
About: I am rancher with a PhD in chemistry that loves the outdoors. Taking care of your pets while you are away is my favorite pastime. I am a chemist at the Biosphere 2, my weekends and week schedule is very flexible and I am always happy to accommodate your schedule. I am trained to give vaccines and any medications and will also keep notes of feeding and walking activities throughout the pet's stay with me as their care giver.
About: I grew up with dogs and I have often take care of friends' dogs. I don't currently have any pets and I miss having a dog so dog walking/jogging is ideal for me. I teach on campus a few hours a week but mostly I work from home so pet walking/jogging is pretty easy for me. On M/W/F I teach a 50 minute class at 9am and 1pm but otherwise I am home. We hike, walk, jog, play fetch, whatever your dog needs. I'll listen to what you want for your dog walking sessions and I'll be happy to help with whatever.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mescal
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 349 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mescal. 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 Mescal 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 Mescal 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 Mescal 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
