“Cienna was great. I was apprehensive because Gus is protective of me and our home, but he bonded with her right away. Everything was great when I got back home. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Lainie was amazing. We were a last-minute booking and she came and did a meet and greet, was responsive, communicative, quelled our worries while we were gone, and so much more. She gave plenty of updates and was mindful of their health needs. It was clear our dogs felt safe and cared for with her. We will be booking with her again!”
“Kellie was wonderful with my pups and kitties. She helped me out of a bind when my house sitter bailed on me last minute. Medications given when needed along with regular updates to me. House was in great condition when I returned. Would definitely use her again”
“Jan did a fabulous job watching my three babies!! Send me plenty of pics, and communication was great. Spent plenty of time with them. They were happy campers and I do highly recommend Jan!!”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my Belgian Malinois, Ellie, she took the extra mile to make sure Ellie was safe during their walk. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and followed all of Ellie's routines, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was also so understanding of our travel situation and incredibly flexible, which meant so much during a stressful time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for loving Ellie like she was your own!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
“Thank you Rachel for taking care of Dakota and our home while we were away in Mexico. I think this is our 4th or 5th trip with you taking care of everything for us. We always feel really relaxed and comfortable knowing all is in good hands. Thank you for all you do! ❤️”
“We were a little nervous at first since we'd never had anyone take care of Banjo other than family. Jasmine put our minds at ease immediately. She took great care of our spoiled pup. She sent regular updates to let us know everything was going well. In addition to taking great care of Banjo, she also was very respectful of our home. We look forward to booking her again. It went so well, my wife and I only half-jokingly talked about scheduling future trips based on Jasmine's availability.”
“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”
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.
“Oh my word! In two days I came home to a different dog! (Not literally) We left our basset with high separation anxiety in her care and came home to a dog that didn’t freak out or jump up on us! It’s obvious that she loves animals and understands their needs. We could not be more grateful!”
“Allison was great with our shy Lola! She stayed with her a few nights. We got many updates, and photos. At her meet and greets Lola was very timid, as she is with everyone. By the second day, Allison had her on a leash for walking. That was a pretty big deal! The communication was great! We got stuck in the airport, and it was easy to contact Allison to come to our rescue! Well done! Thank you! Jody and Todd”
“Alexa is so kind & sweet and extends those qualities to your fur babies. We have 3 puppies with various needs and she took care of them like they were her own. The pups were in great hands and we will be using her anytime we travel. We highly recommend Alexa for any dog sitting/house sitting/pet care needs!”
“Posie loved Jaylene! Jaylene did a great job caring for Posie this last week. She stayed in our home while we were gone. Everything was clean and neat when we got home and Posie was great! Jaylene sent us updates and photos throughout the week and that really helped relieve my anxiety! We plan to ask Jaylene to stay with Posie for our next vacation!”
About: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of many different animals over the years from fish to chickens and horses. I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs from Chihuahuas to Cane Corsos and I love them all. I have taken a job where the dog was very protective of their home and have made multiple visits before the sitting began to allow them to be comfortable around me. I’ve worked with elderly dogs that need to be given medication and I have experience giving animals shots as well if needed! I am happy to provide references as well if that would make you feel safer about trusting me with your furry loved ones! I am currently a first year student at NMSU in Las Cruces and my schedule for this semester is consistent throughout the week so I am able to make morning and evening check ins for your pets and make adjustments as needed! My usual routine when going to check on pets varys according to the owners but every visit I make it a point to play with all of the animals and take them on walks when needed and ensuring all of their needs are met!
About: Going to college to become a Veterinarian to run my own clinic. Studying Animal Sciences and Rangelands. Have always owned Dogs or pets. Believes animals are better than being around people. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
“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: Please only book me if you can provide proof of current vaccinations for your pet. I've had multiple of my own pets, including some with special needs. I can give medicine, supervise mealtimes, bathe, brush, trim nails, and anything else needed to give your fur babies the 5 star experience they deserve. I've been a freelance sitter for my friends before, but I'm looking to expand my work schedule beyond holidays and weddings. This is basically a full time job for me, and that focus is reflected in the service I give. You and your pets can rest assured that I will provide full attention to their needs for the booked service period, no shortcuts, no excuses. I require all pets in my care to be up to date on their vaccinations. Please send me proof of current rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and canine influenza shots upon booking. Any concerns I notice with long term health such as allergies, gait issues, or fleas will be communicated during the visit and a solution can be deployed in real time. Dogs will be monitored for signs of fatigue during hot weather, and I will make sure they don't burn their paws on walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mesilla
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! She emptied trashes and vacuumed - totally unasked! We appreciate Alex for all she does to help make being away from the kids less stressful 💜
Allison was fantastic! She went above and beyond, not only for our pets, but for us as well! She was upfront about what "she wasn't good at", but we came home to her being good at those things anyway! We were well informed the whole time, got lots of pictures and the pups even got to go on more walks than usual, which I have on good authority that they were very happy about! We came home to a clean home and wagging tails! Only downside? I think my four dogs are disappointed that I came home! LOL! They can be a handful, and Allison was an absolute pro!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mesilla on Rover is $39.96 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 169 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
