“Allison Nicole V is a true gem! She came in and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my furbaby Cujo in her very capable hands. Cujo had just lost his sidekick and best friend, Gunner Butter just two weeks before I was to leave on my vacation. I didn't know how he would be for Allison Nicole V, but she took excellent of Cujo! She went way beyond the call of duty on this pet sitting adventure. She left everything clean and showed professionalism throughout her stay with my little guy. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter, dog walker or boarding your babies! I am hoping to go on a trip in May and I hope she will be available to come into my home again and take care of my precious baby. I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave me. I really don't think anyone else would have done the amazing job she did, knowing I chose such a wonderful caregiver while I was gone.”

“Jasmine is amazing and our pups feel so comfortable around her. She stayed overnight with them and I am sure it made a difference to their mental health while we were in our trip. Highly recommend and will definitely be calling on her expertise in the future!”

About: Hi, my name's Betsy. I love animals of all kinds, and have shared in their love and care all of my life.. I ensure they get the best care and have also volunteered at an animal shelter where I assisted in taking care of dogs and cats. A long term cat owner, I currently am owned by a lovely senior boy cat. My goal is to ensure that all of the pets in my care get everything they need to be their best selves. I am cool, calm, and collected in emergency situations. You can count on me to get your pet(s) any care that they may need. I can also handle most medications and love to hang out with seniors. Daytime visits work best for me (I’m flexible on time) and can do some evening care if necessary. I appreciate your consideration I have a part time job so this is a great opportunity to give pets the care they need. I really love meeting new pets and making friends with them. I know pets needs and can make sure all are met I love to ensure that pets get everything they need to be their best selves, from basic care to assisting with training. I've been a pet owner all my life, and can do anything from long walks to play to administering medicine of all kinds.
“Rachel was amazing with my dogs! She kept me updated on how they were doing & sent me lots of pics!! She was respectful and caring! I will definitely be booking with here again!”

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.

“Savannah did a wonderful job caring for our 17-year-old dog while we were away. She was prompt, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire experience. Our dog seemed very comfortable with her. What really stood out was Savannah's understanding of senior dogs. Because she has experience with an elderly dog of her own, she understands the extra attention, patience, and care that older pets often need. That gave us peace of mind knowing our senior dog was in such capable and compassionate hands. We would happily recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.
“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!”

“Raquel did a week long overnight with my pooch Tuukka. I've never been more comfortable with anybody else and I know Tuukka was give an exceptional care. I think he bonded with her... Her care for Tuukka, her thoughtfulness, her clear and prompt communication and the condition she kept the house were all exceptional. Thank you!”

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! Any special requests I’m more than willing to care for them as I’m a nurse and it’s in my nature :) I’m currently a single mother of a 8 year old son. He’s very careful and an animal lover! We follow directions and send updates frequently I understand each pet has a specific need as does any human. I am willing to learn each need and personality of each of your loved ones until they get their parents back 😃
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for some sweet amazing pets over the years. Having 2 dogs myself : a Chihuahua and a husky: I'm able to care for various breeds and sizes. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing companionship to animals in their own homes. I've also had the opportunity to work with different breeds and temperaments, allowing me to adapt my caregiving techniques to each individual pet's needs. I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for my clients' furry friends, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for in their absence. Feeding, walking, and cuddling are all part of my daily routine, and my dogs would probably tell you I’m their personal superhero. I bring that dedication and joy to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When caring for pets in someone else's home, I prioritize their comfort and security. I follow their specific routines, ensuring consistent feeding times, administering medications as prescribed, and providing regular exercise. I treat their home with respect, cleaning up after the pets and maintaining a tidy environment. I also keep a detailed record of their behavior, any special needs, and any incidents that may occur. By providing attentive and responsible care, I aim to alleviate any worries the pet owners may have while they're away.
“Lee was fantastic! Tilly was happy and had plenty of exercise. Our home was left in wonderful condition. Lee communicated with us well and forwarded great "glamour shots" of Tilly. I highly recommend him.”

About: In the 12 years of caring for dogs I’ve gone from dogs as tiny and as chihuahuas and dogs as mighty as the Bull Mastiff. I’ve come across a variety of ages, energy levels, personalities, different medical needs, and temperaments in dogs. I am do train some basics and socialize dogs as young as possible to help prepare them long term for the world around them and set the dog up for success. I do work from home and can flex my schedule to accommodate my current clients pets to allow the maximum attention to the animals needs. I have a very open flowing schedule to allow for lots of flexibility in time to give to any of my animals. I give my dogs food later in the night, every 2-4 hours I will allow my dogs to take bathroom breaks, my dogs are usually always with me where I go through out my home or in the backyard, in situations I can’t supervise them they are placed in the crate to keep them as safe as possible. Excersize to help maintain social skills are given as often as necessary to keep the dog acclimated to daily life outside of the home.
“Five star service! Michelle was terrific. She communicated promptly and thoroughly. I received several photo updates throughout the weekend. She followed all of the requests I made and was able to give my dog his medication on schedule. My dogs were very happy and content when I got home.”

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!

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 Mesilla 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 Mesilla 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 Mesilla 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.
