About: What makes me a great fit as your sitter is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and hands‑on experience with different breeds and personalities. I have three dogs of my own—a husky, a shih tzu, and a 9‑month‑old German shepherd rescue—so I truly understand the care, patience, and attention our furbabies need and deserve. I recently moved back to New Mexico to be closer to family, and as someone born and raised in Valencia County, I care deeply about this community and the pets that are part of it. Working with local dogs and cats is something that helps me grow, and I value the bond that comes from being part of their routine. Communication is one of my strongest skills. I believe pet care works best when we operate as a team, making sure everything is clear, comfortable, and aligned with what’s best for your pets. I’m also able to care for birds, and I’d love to set up a recurring weekly schedule so I can become a consistent, trusted presence in your pet’s life. I do not offer reptile or fish sitting. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I treat mine. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I work a professional full‑time job, typically from about 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. My role is hybrid, so some days I’m in the office and other days I’m remote. When we plan a schedule, I’ll always be transparent about my work commitments so we can make sure everything aligns comfortably for both of us. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available for mornings and evenings. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide Drop‑Ins or Walks up to three times a day. Holidays are open as well — let’s talk through them. I’m not a big traveler, so I’m usually here in Valencia County and happy to help families who need reliable holiday coverage. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. For Drop‑In and Walking services, I make sure your pet’s essential needs are fully taken care of — feeding, fresh water, restroom breaks, and any comfort or routine they’re used to. I also prioritize safety: I’m Certified in CPR for Cats and Dogs, which means I’m trained to respond quickly and correctly in emergency situation. If your pet has specific requirements or special instructions, I’m always happy to accommodate. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and consistent with the care they’re used to at home. I’m reliable, clean, and respectful, and I bring the same level of care whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and supported while you’re away.
“Karen did drop-ins for my cat and I have no complaints. I received updates and photos of the drop-ins and my cat seemed happy to get some company while I was away.”
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
About: I have raised dogs, cats and a variety of other animals my whole life. From fostering, to baby sitting to raising pets of my own, I have always loved animals and caring for them. I currently have 3 dogs (ages 3,3 and 5) and 2 cats, one being a senior (ages 10, and 2). I’ve adopted all of my animals from shelters or friends, adopted them at a variety of ages and one of my dogs is disabled (born with only one eye). I am proud to say that I have done my absolute best to give them the proper care and love and attention they deserve, and I think they have been all very happy and well cared for! I am a mainly online university student at UNM, so my schedule is pretty free! I have a very open schedule, especially in mornings and afternoons! I have a large fenced yard that my dogs play in every day. I feed them every morning and afternoon, visit them daily and have them sleep inside every night. I can offer the same schedule to any pet in need of some extra time and love!
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two cats and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone for roughly 5 days. One of our cats has pretty bad anxiety but she made them feel companionship and peace. Jennifer was flexible and made the best of some occasional circumstances outside of her control too, definitely would strongly recommend!!”
“Nothing is more important to me than "peace of mind" when I am out of town and knowing Travis was taking care of my cats delivered just that. When I arrived home this morning I think they were disappointed it was me and not Travis. He went the extra mile to give them so much more than the feeding instructions I requested. Absolutely a professional and caring person.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified
“Lauren is amazing. My furbabies love her. From the moment my animals met her I knew she was perfect. It made me feel safe when she sent pics of my babies and they looked so happy. Looking forward to using her again.”
About: NEW CLIENTS GET FREE PET PORTRAIT! My approach is centered around you! With every consult, I write my own notes as reference to study before and during my time with your pet. I am a part time artist so I am happy to be a homebody with your furry friend. I also do longer weekend hikes so I am happy to go on a three mile walk with your energetic pal! I am familiar with dog behaviors (whale eye, disengaging during unwanted actions, utilizing a muzzle if necessary at owners request) . I have clicker trained my kitty as well! I am currently working part time working on my children's graphic novel pitch so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your fur baby! I have availability from 9am-10pm. On hotter days I prefer to walk your pups before noon or after 5pm evening so they don't overheat. I would love to meet your pet first before we work together! That way you can let me know of any health or behavioral concerns and your furry friend isn't scared when a stranger shows up! With every consult I like to take my own notes to ensure that I am fully prepared before I see your pet again! I let your pet dictate our interactions. (Holding out my hand for them to sniff, giving space if your kitty has, "airplane ears" or if your dog has a, "whale eye,"). I am also experienced in redirection, if your dog is barking I'll get the tennis ball going.
“Kienna made us feel good about trusting her to take care of our kitty while we were out of town. Her communication was great, and she was prompt to respond to questions. She gave our cat the love and attention he needed. We will not hesitate to have her sit for us again.”
“There’s nothing better than going away for a few days totally confident that your dogs are going to be safe at home and in good hands with their sitter. Spencer is the best. He is reliable, trustworthy and an all around good guy. I highly recommend Spencer for all you doggie care needs.”
“Jesus has watched my fur babies twice now, and I know my babies are always safe with him! He’s very communicative and kind. Will absolutely ask for his help again when we travel!”

About: I combine reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals.

That means I have lots of time during the day, most of my shifts are nights! Please let me cuddle your pets, I need the dopamine! I have no other pets in my home, more time to focus on yours! I love walking, hiking and playing fetch! I used to be an urban park ranger, I know all the best parks!
“Rita sent pictures and videos everyday as she cat sat for us. Our cat is not as anxious as she was when we left her alone over a weekend. She is still healthy and did not cling to us too much when we came home. I recommend Rita and will be looking to see if she's available first for future bookings!”
“Lorenzo was great with my fearful German shepherd. He was patient and followed all of the care instructions I left. Overall very responsive and communicative. Thank you Lorenzo!”
“Savanah dropped in for a dinner break for my kiddos on short notice as well as tidied up the cat box, started a load of dishes and sheets I had piled up along with making sure the pack was taken care of! Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Using Rover for the first time, we chose Jessika based on her good reviews and nearby location. After the meet and greet, my husband and I felt like she would be a caring and reliable sitter for our elderly cat. And she was!! We’d choose her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Peralta is $39 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $49 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 864 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Peralta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Peralta. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
