“Kellie did a great job! She updated us every day about our cat. The cat can be a little difficult when it comes to taking her meds but she was able to give it to her every day! Thank you!”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Amelia has been so great in getting to know our dogs and house and even with a broken door handle (eek!) was able to problem solve, take care of all 3 of my kiddos and communicated the whole way.”
About: I’ve taken care of Dogs for a very long time, I’ve house sat for weeks for multiple friends! I have owned two cats and two dogs of myself! I love taking care of animals! I’m currently a full time student but most classes end around noon! So I’m available multiple hours at a time and very flexible with staying overnight aswell! I am open to anything you need from me! I am in the dorms so having the pets at my home would not be an option! But I am open to staying with your animals and doing anything that you need me to care for your fur babies!
About: Local Las Cruces vegetarian, animal lover, trusted realtor. I have a schedule that is flexible and built around fur baby care. I have tenured clients. I have a flexible schedule as a full time realtor and have been doing pet care for a long time. My schedule is built around fur baby care and client needs. My casa is their casa. Toys, pillows, and blankets are important. I try to maintain their schedule, little treats, play time breaks, and regular affection.
About: I have house sat dogs and cats as a job for about 4 years. I have my own dogs as well. I’ve taken care of big and little dogs, puppies, dogs that need medications and shots, and older cats. I am currently a full time student in college but have many free days and times throughout the week to take care of your lovely pets. I will follow every instruction that is told to me while i’m in the clients home. I will also go above and beyond to make sure the client and pet is satisfied.
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: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had a dog! I love all animals but dogs especially have a big place in my heart. I currently live in las cruces and my parents are in georgia with the dog we have now who is almost 11! She’s a boxer-pitbull mix and just the sweetest. I have always enjoyed being around dogs and also love to be outside, so taking your dog on walks is perfect! I’m always willing to go as long or as short as your dog needs! I think exercise for dogs is so important and often forgotten about so I would love to be able to help with that when you need it!! I’m currently a sophomore in college and on student leadership with a college organization. Luckily I’m done with my classes by 11:45 at the latest every day which gives me a ton of time to play with your pups! I do have something every Monday and Wednesday night at 7 but am available from around 12-6 each day! Back home I have a fenced in back yard and we have been able to train my dog to stay by us when we are not in the back yard. Here I live in an apartment, so I don’t have a fenced in area but am able to walk dogs in a leash and can also simply play with them inside if needed to!
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I have open availability during the week and during the weekend. My schedule is open when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Picacho
My little kitty loved Kellie, which is a win! Kellie was great. She watched my cat for two weeks and made sure her water and food were filled. She also made sure the litter was cleaned every other day, which is more than what I usually do. She also watered my plants and took the trash out for me! My little fur baby definitely got some loving while I was away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.
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.
