Highly recommended Rhiannon! Our dog was in great shape, and the house was left much tidier than we left it. Traveling can be so stressful when leaving behind pets, but Rhiannon eased all that stress.

Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!

About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.

About: I believe the animals we share our lives with are our family and life companions. They are individuals with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and special quirks. I am able to meet each pet in whatever they need to flourish while their family is away. As an animal lover with 12+ years of experience, you can expect to return to a happy pet and clean house. As a graduate student, most of my days are dedicated to projects, studying and attending a couple of in-person classes. Additionally, I work part time a few evenings of the week as a line cook. I am physically active and can take your dog on multiple walks or outings throughout the day. Most of my studying can be done from inside the home alongside where your cat or dog likes to camp. I drive a large car which can carry medium to larger dogs comfortably for going to trails, dog parks, or walking spaces. Dogs and cats can expect daily intentional play time with their preferred toy and consistent feeding times. You can depend on me to pick up dog poop for a happy backyard and neighborhood, and to scoop up cat litter for an odor free house. I love snuggles so if your pet likes touch, they'll get all their cuddle needs met. I understand your house is your sacred place so it will always be one of my top priorities to keep it in pristine condition while you're away.

This is the second time Lydia has sat for us. We are so grateful for her care and love for our pups! She's sweet, attentive to details and a trustworthy person. Our dog ended up chewing some fabric and throwing up and she handled the situation in a way that didn't make us panic. Our flight got delayed and she offered to stay longer with our dogs. The house was sparkling clean. She's our number one sitter! Thank you Lydia ❤️

Jerrett did a great job with our house and two pups during an 5-day overnight stay. He’s very responsible, communicative and shared lots of photo/video updates. Our vacation was stress-free as we knew everything was going well at home. Would highly recommend him to care for your pets!

Lily was great! Our dogs love basically everyone but they rarely feel at home enough to nap and snuggle with the sitter. We got lots of pictures throughout the day of them doing just that, comfortable enough to snuggle and nap all day. Definitely will have her watch them again!

About: I am an absolute cat person and I've been taken care of my in-law's cats and convinced my husband 3 years ago to adopt our own furr-babies. I will take care of your little ones as if they were mine. It is important that they are taken care of but it is also important that they don't feel lonely or left out. I will go the extra mile and spend time with them. Gaining their trust to get affection from them or play with them is key. I am happy to spend extra time with them with no extra charges. Cats affections are the reward! I am flexible in terms of hours and home office. If I know your schedule in advance I can work from home and take care of your cats at any time during the day. If your cats let me, I will play with them, cuddle them, and spend extra time with them. But the most important things are their feeding routine, making sure they're hydrated and to provide a clean cat litter box for their well-being.

Whitney was an excellent Cat Sitter and Housesitter. When we got home from our travels, our elder cat was very happy and calm. We could tell she had been very well cared for. During our travels, Whitney was an excellent communicator responding quickly, asking questions when needed, and sending frequent photos of our kitty.

Sarah is absolutely terrific! She is very attentive and plays with our two dogs daily when she took care of them. After we returned from our week long trip, the house was clean and the dogs were very mellow indicating they had a good time with her stay. The dogs really liked her. Sara is A+. We plan to have her watch our dogs often when we travel.

About: I'm new to caring for dogs professionally, I've dog and cat sat for my neighbor several times over the last five years. While I'm new to taking care of pets in a professional setting, I've cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I've always felt a kindred spirit for animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care. From feeding, to bathing, and walking there isn't any dog I haven't enjoyed taking care of or spending time with. I recently lost my sweet boy who was in my life for seven years and that's what brought me to Rover. Caring for pets and providing a safe and loving environment is something I enjoy doing. I can guarantee your pet will be well cared for with me. I have a pretty open schedule right now. I’ve just completed work on a temporary job so I have lots of time to care for your pets. I'm available seven days of the week right now and regularly update my calendar. I can come to your fur baby so they feel the utmost comfortable and happy. You can have peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be cared for with full attention to detail. I can ensure a peaceful and calm environment when caring for your pets especailly senior pets who enjoy peace and quiet. If your pet needs a lot of outside time, walks are my specialty. Whatever your pet needs are I can accomodate. I'm always open to meeting with you and your pet to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

Lis was a godsend for us. She's watched our babies three times now. We found her a week before we were heading out of town. We had just moved from AZ to NM and we didn't want to leave our animals in a strange home while we were away. Lis jumped at the chance to watch our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) and not to mention in a home that was filled with boxes and only an air mattress for her to use while she stayed overnight with our fur babies. But our first experiences with Lis don't speak volumes about the help she provided us when we had an emergency situation. With no notice, we needed Lis to stay with our animals for a couple of days. She immediately made room in her busy schedule to help us. If you're looking for a phenomenal, trustworthy pet sitter who truly treats your pets like they are hers - Lis is your perfect find. Thank you for everything you've done for us, Lis! I truly cannot begin to express how grateful I am for you.

About: I grew up with dogs and love all breeds. I spent my youth volunteering at a doggy day care and always loved the movie "Best in Show". I've researched and spent time with many diverse breeds with a unique understanding of their various temperaments and requirements. I have training skills and patience to give your pal the attention and love they deserve while you're away. I currently work part-time remotely on my own business as an astrologer. I am able to be very present and attentive while in your home. I make sure to learn all you and your pet's preferences for expectations (like if they are allowed on furniture, or how they are with other dog's / social time). I provide daily check ins so you have peace of mind that all is well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Pena Blanca

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 432 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pena Blanca. 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 Pena Blanca 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 Pena Blanca 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 Pena Blanca 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 Pena Blanca. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
