“Holly was outstanding and really put my mind at ease when my cats were home alone for a few days. She was very attentive and took care of what we needed. Thanks so much for helping us out, Holly, and hope we’re able to book you again in the future!”
“Mikayla was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our two dogs, Lona, Oso, and even my friend’s dog (who was in town helping me with this event). She came to keep the dogs company while we worked an event for the evening and I felt completely at ease knowing they were with her. She was so sweet and attentive with all three of them, spent the evening hanging out with them, and even took the whole crew on a walk! They all absolutely loved her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my dogs and would 100% book Mikayla again. Highly recommend!”
“An absolute Godsend. I needed someone on extreme short notice and it was my first time using Rover. She made this absolutely seamless and perfect, making me feel very comfortable about allowing her into my home and taking care of my girls.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.
About: Hi! My name is Cal, and I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid. I grew up volunteering at the humane society and took classes in college on how to train shelter dogs. I have two dogs; one Golden Retriever and one Red Heeler who love to play with other dogs. They are high energy, so we go on regular hikes every day. I’m a firefighter/EMT, so you can feel safe knowing that I can render care if needed. If your dog likes to go on hikes, they’ll have a good time with us. I currently work weekends and some Fridays. My schedule is pretty open during the week and I am flexible to be there when you need me. I have trackers for my dogs and can provide one for yours if your dog is good off leash. I follow directions well and can tailor my day based on your needs.
“Audrey was amazing with our girl Sunny! We had a meet n greet the day before so that she could get to know Sunny’s initial reactions towards someone new and it made the next day go seamlessly. I highly recommend Audrey for your furry one!”
“Kailey was super!!!! She took such great care of all of our puppers. One of our boys was not socialized as a puppy and has trust issues and by the end of the trip, he was sitting in her lap and taking pictures!! Can't praise her enough!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who cares for every pet as though they’re my own. From energetic pups to shy cats, I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I offer flexible hours, plenty of walks, and reliable care. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I schedule time each morning and evening for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins, making sure every pet gets consistent attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walking, and playtime at their usual times. I keep their space clean, provide plenty of affection and attention, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect that all animals are sensitive and have unique needs. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm environment with regular exercise, cozy rest areas, and presence to make sure they’re happy and healthy. If I provide services at your home, I ask that you please remove any plug-in air fresheners and minimize synthetic incense/fragrances.
“Catherine is incredible! On her first visit there was an issue with the key (my error). Trying to resolve the problem -- she tried to squeeze through the bottom of the garage door! It did not work, though she gave her all! She is a kind and caring pet sitter! My kitties love her!”
“Jackie was incredible. It was the first time traveling away from my cats that I was 100% relaxed and confident in the care they were receiving. She's thoughtful, thorough, and it's evident she has a way with animals. I have a cat who has -never- come out for a sitter, even familiar sitters, even after a week or two during longer trips, but after just 2 days with Jackie, my scaredy cat was less timid and not hiding. I'm so impressed with her. Thank you!”
About: I am blessed to have grown up on a farm, raising horses, miniature goats, barn cats, and dogs. Due to this upbringing I was able to learn how to make a kindred relationship with all types of animals. I understand how important your pet is to you and work hard to treat them as if they were my own. When watching your pet, I will treat them to daily walks, rubs, treats, and a bath if desired, giving your pet their own mini vacation while you get to enjoy yours.
“We are very fortunate to have Katia T. in our family. Her love for animals makes us very comfortable to leave Katia T. with our precious miniature Dachshunds. Katia looked after Ray and Rosalie Sunday night. It was a same day request. While we were gone we received timely updates and pictures of the dogs lounging comfortably next to Katia T. We highly recommend Katia T. and will use her services again in the future.”
About: Self-identified nature and animal lover, in transition from attorney to chaplaincy and mindfulness meditation teacher. I have cared for dogs for over 20 years, from zoomie puppies to slow-moving seniors. I am comfortable administering medication and feeding whatever combo of kibble+/-wet food your pup enjoys. Belly rubs and nature walks are always on offer. All are welcome here. I am home full-time and am able to supervise, care for and play with the dogs throughout the day. We begin each morning with an early one to five mile hike depending on energy levels and weather. The remainder of the day is free time to play, nap, repeat. Meals are usually at 8am and 4pm. In our home: Your dog will have free range of our entire home and fully-fenced acre with access to fresh drinking water at all times. There are several dog beds and toys around the house. Our resident pup Poppy is happy to share! Note: My doggie day care rate covers up to six daytime hours (between 8am - 6pm). We can add more time (starting at +$20) so you don't have to rush doing fun human-only activities. Special requests are always welcome.
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets. I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.
“my dogs loved him. They were excited to see him and then were able to settle down once he was here for a tiny bit. Look forward to having him come back. He’s very good. I liked him too”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ranchos de Taos
Priscilla took care of our two cats while my husband and I were away. I was nervous because I had never left them for more than a couple nights since we adopted them but having her come really put my mind at ease! They were well fed, cleaned up after and played with. Everyday I got several videos and pictures showing the girls playing and relaxing and it really helped me enjoy my vacation because I knew they were in good hands. I definitely recommend Priscilla to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter. We would love to have her back!
Jackie was incredible. It was the first time traveling away from my cats that I was 100% relaxed and confident in the care they were receiving. She's thoughtful, thorough, and it's evident she has a way with animals. I have a cat who has -never- come out for a sitter, even familiar sitters, even after a week or two during longer trips, but after just 2 days with Jackie, my scaredy cat was less timid and not hiding. I'm so impressed with her. Thank you!
Catherine has consistently been a super reliable friend to our pets and makes us feel so safe and happy every time we’re away. She’s quick to respond and makes sure she understands exactly what your pet needs (especially with our cat who is very picky with his food and meds). Would recommend always!

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 Ranchos de Taos 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 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.
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.
