“Dawn is amazing. The electricity went out in our neighborhood while I was gone, and she double-checked to make sure everything was okay. She also takes great, loving care of my need cat, Rufous. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of my pups! I was a little concerned using Rover for the first time but picking Cindy and seeing how dedicated she was took those away, One of the pups is very anxious and nervous and she did a great job with her! She always checked in when she was with the pups which definitely gave me peace of mind. I can tell why Cindy is a star sitter. I would hire her again.”
“Victoria was awesome! She was very responsive and on time. She sent a lot of photos and a nice summary of how Mia was doing and how well she was eating and so on. She also went the extra mile and brought in some packages that were left on our doorstep while we were away! Definitely will use her again!”
“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”
“Leaving our cats and dog with someone new made me nervous, but Luca completely exceeded my expectations. Luca came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and asked questions about our cats and dog's routine. Luca sent multiple photos daily, giving total peace of mind. I highly recommend and will absolutely booking again.”
“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”
“Sara did amazing and well exceeded my expectations for the care of my cats! She gave great updates and sent wonderful pictures. Would love to have her take care of my cats again.”
About: I used to work for a company that did house soft and dog training. 12 years of animal experience. I will check on animals and attend to them no matter the circumstances. I used to be a dog trainer and can help teach many cues. I work during the day but during the night and weekends I can help. I work full time at an animal shelter as a behavior Specialist. I can care for the animals overnight and before and after work. If needed I can do an afternoon check in. I work from 9am to 6pm at my other job. I treat the clients pet like my own. I feed them and care for them. I want to build a relationship with them and make them feel safe.
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.
“This review is quite delayed as I am still learning the Rover program. Rita was my pet sitter previous to my current one. She was amazing. She took care of my dog as though she was her own, kept me updated and took so many great pictures. I was so sad that she moved but hope she has continued to provide this care where she moved to.”
About: Ive been watching my family’s and friends animals for years now. With the responsibility of feeding them, giving them water, and playing with them when needed. I have to take care of my cat and dog daily and I often watch my neighbors dogs, cats and horses for them while they travel. I always make sure I take care of the animals according to the owners instructions, or to take care of their house as they ask.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life from german shepherds to dachshunds . The only time I can recall not having a dog was the first couple years in the Navy because I was out to sea so much. I love dogs of all sizes! I currently have a 10 year old weimaraner of my own Ari. So your precious pup will have someone to play with while staying with me. I take my own dog on walks/hikes, to dog park, runs, and swimming when we can find water for her. For being in Navy veteran and nurse, I am responsible and will take good care of your pup. Plus, there is vet not even .25 miles from home, if something where to go array which is not likely. Can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently in masters program and working remote and essentially here all day with them. Plenty of potty breaks and walks to come. Safe friendly neighborhood I have a fenced yard and lots of easy safe walking my neighborhood. I can crate them if you prefer but they are allowed on furniture here.
“Lisa was awesome from the moment we met her. She came prepared to take notes on the needs of our dogs and asked great questions about our expectations of our dogs. She stayed in contact with us during our vacation which put our minds at ease that our girls were safe and being well taken care of. Our girls looked so happy in all the photos she sent us. Thank you Lisa, we so appreciate you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Placitas on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 865 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Placitas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Placitas stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Placitas. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 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.
