“Cienna was perfect! She was so nice, respectful, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We were so happy with all her pictures and updates while we were away, and we returned to a very healthy and happy pup! She took great care of our house and our most precious baby. We would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her anytime we need someone to watch over Prada!”

About: My name is Erin all my life there’s been a dog at my side and to this day that love for all animals has never faded. Currently work from home my schedule is open to assist with walks, drops in, and overnight/extended stays. Additionally I would love to help provide meals, play a game or two, and can administer oral medications if needed. My experience has been obtained through training my own rescue dogs helping to build their confidence, teach proper leash etiquette, and through these experiences have mastered how to read dogs body language. If you have a nervous pooch, super senior, and or a large breed don’t hesitate to reach out. The ultimate goal is to provide care with the same love and attentiveness given to my animals whether it’s a drop in, walk, or house sit let meet up to see if I’m the right fit for you! Currently working from home my schedule is flexible the goal is to accommodate you when you need it the most because life happens! Everyday except Saturdays is open for appointments so let’s set up a meet and greet I might be the right fit for your family. Open for early/late morning walks, mid day walks, and or drop ins throughout the day. My hope is to make life easier for you! First and foremost the animals are always my priority, your residence will be treated as my own, and all associated surroundings will be given the respect it commands. Be assured all expectations you set for your fur baby will be executed with empathy, professionalism, and patience. Animals have been a constant within my life for as far back as I can remember rest easy knowing I’m excited to provide care and you’ll have me in your corner when you need it the most.

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.

About: Give your pets the compassionate care they deserve when you're away! My 15 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience, combined with over a decade of personal pet ownership, means your furry family members will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a special affinity for senior pets, understanding their unique routines and comforts, thanks to my experience with my older cat. Let me provide the peace of mind you need, knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved in my care. Currently going to school so I have plenty of time to check on your furr babies throughout the day. I am free early in the morning and evening. Rest assured, your cats and dogs will be in experienced and playful hands! My own two sweet indoor cats thrive with plenty of toys and two large scratchers, so I understand the importance of keeping indoor felines happy and entertained. I absolutely adore playing with my own cats and dogs, and I'll bring that same genuine love and active engagement to your pets, making sure they feel secure and well-cared for in their own environment.

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.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own puppy, Draco, as well as my cousin’s and brother’s dogs whenever they need someone to help. Caring for them has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and dependable. From feeding, walking, and playtime to making sure they feel comfortable and safe, I always make it a priority to give each pet the love and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m available Monday through Friday at any given time.I’m pretty flexible during those hours and can give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can make time for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding depending on the day and what you need. Safety, trust & environment: I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow any instructions you give me and keep a close eye on them while they’re with me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mesilla

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Mesilla is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mesilla. 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 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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
