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.

Very professional and took great notes from the sitting to give me all the details. Gravy was happy and cared for and I couldn't be more grateful.

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: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Since I’m able to bring my schoolwork with me, I can comfortably spend extended time in your home while still keeping up with my studies and, most importantly, providing your pets with companionship and care. The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and your specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.

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.

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’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: 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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mesquite

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mesquite. 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 Mesquite 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 Mesquite 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 Mesquite 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 with handling special pet needs in Mesquite. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
