Top rated Route 66 West house sitters

“Mariah was amazing and my boys loved her. She updated us many times every day and also sent lots of photos. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”


“Geneva was super communicative, considerate, and attentive to the needs of my dog Zelee! I appreciated how much thought and care she put into her stay with Zelee. I would absolutely recommend her services and would trust her to watch Zelee again.”


“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”


“Jamie was amazing! She took great care of our Littles (2 chihuahuas). They were so content! She sent lots of photos every day and texted me often with reports. Highly recommend!”


“Rachel was amazing when she watched our dog while we went out of town for the weekend! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Our dog loved her immediately and we knew he would be in good hands with her! We hope to continue having her over to watch our dog when needed!”


“I was very hesitant to have a stranger stay at our home with our girls….much less a stranger that I found on the internet. After reading Tracy’s profile, I felt that she was best suited for our girls and boy was I right! She took the time during our meet and greet to talk with me and get to know our girls. Throughout our trip she gave thorough updates and sent pictures to ensure everyone was good. We have a reactive dog and Tracy showed her grace and patience, and with her knowledge and experience she was a friend not foe by the end. We have always put off trips that come up because of the dogs and never feeling comfortable with anyone staying with them. This is definitely not the case anymore now that we have established a relationship with Tracy. I would recommend her a million times.”


“Our 11 year old rescue can't do boarding anymore, so I reached out to Caitlin for weekend house/ pet sitting. She was extremely responsive, showed up when she said she would for a meet and greet, and took excellent care of our girl while we were gone. The house was just as we left it and we were able to relax knowing our girl was taken care of and someone was in the house while we were away. Highly recommend Caitlin for your pet sitting/house sitting needs!”


“Reggie was phenomenal. She made sure all 4 of our animals got the exact attention and care they needed and our home was in immaculate condition when we returned. Would highly recommend.”


“Jace was fantastic! My Aussie immediately loved her.. so appreciated all the pics of the walks and play and snuggles. Felt completely comfortable with Jace in our house, you couldn’t even tell she was there! Definitely will rebook!”


“Gabriella did an amazing job with my two cats. One of my cats is usually very shy but he warmed up to her so quickly. She is great with the pets and great with the house sitting. 10/10 recommend”


“Allie provided outstanding care for my dogs while I was out of town. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was punctual, professional, and attentive to their individual needs. Throughout my time away, Allie kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. My dogs looked happy and well-cared for in every update. When I returned home, everything was clean, and both dogs were relaxed and content — a true sign of excellent care. I highly recommend Allie to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”


“I thank Marcus for his time over the holidays. I had wished for more check-ins and photos as the trip progressed. He was very accommodating when our travel plans changed.”


“Rhiannon was a great sitter for our ~70lb pit/basset mix and our black cat. She had confidence with them and showed them a lot of love. She was great about sending pictures and with communication.”


About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. From walking and feeding to bathing and administering medications, I provide dependable, personalized care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog requiring gentle attention, I ensure every pet is comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I’m fully available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. Whether you need daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I can accommodate your schedule with flexibility and reliability. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I give my own. I follow all routines closely—feeding, walks, meds, and playtime—and keep your space clean and secure. I aim to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: Hi there 😄 I am an animal lover, highly responsible human, and am excited to meet and care for your fur babies! I grew up with cats my whole life, often multiple at a time (2-3). I have fostered and owned several dogs and puppies. I will care for your pets like they are my own, and as a pet owner and user of Rover myself, I fully understand the trust and responsibility involved in finding a high quality pet sitter. I am happy to be of service! I have experience with high energy dogs, senior dogs, and have puppy training expertise. I feel confident in understanding, bonding with, and caring for the unique needs of your pets. Since I own two dogs currently, (both very well behaved, super friendly and outgoing) your doggies will be in great company! I take my pups to the dog park at least 2-3 times per week, and usually do at least 1-2 big wilderness hikes as well weekly. I will gladly give your dogs an incredible fun adventure with our family, as well as lots of love and care. Of course, I am also happy to take your pups on solo walks or to certain locations if they do better on walks alone or have other specifications. I’ve grown up with cats since childhood and am very well versed in taking care of them too. I have years of experience house and cat sitting for friends and colleagues. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility during the week, as well as evenings and weekends. I already care for two dogs and would be happy to add to our little pack 😉 I have a backyard, access to many hikes and trails near my home, as well as some of the best dog parks in the area. Our family is often on the road traveling to new dog friendly trips and adventures!

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

About: From time to time for the past 3 years I have taken proper care of my family’s pets outside my home but I can confidently say that I’ve been taken care of my own pets for my whole life! There hasn’t been one day that’s gone by where I haven’t taken care of them somehow. I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! Right now I am temporarily working a part-time job, I am usually scheduled early in the mornings or evenings. I have to work around my job schedule which changes every week but I know my work schedule 2 weeks in advance. I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels for my own dogs sleep in their kennels. I have lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights, (my pets don’t like each other). I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being. I perform all these duties everyday with my own dogs and have experience doing so outside of my home. I take care of dogs that aren’t mine like my own according to the customers needs.

About: I have experience with taking care of small and medium sized dog’s of all kinds, plus I have experience with cat’s and even live stock experience! I charge for all animals being watched, if you add more animals you will have to pay for them I am currently available anytime, I don’t have anything going on right now my availability is open every day for drop in visits, dog walking etc! My cat loves attention and companionship from anyone, he love’s to play and be brushed as well as eat and take naps with me, he loves to sit and listen to me play guitar as well I am free all the time right now so please let me know! And I willl set up a meet and greet and then we will go from there! I always make sure everyone's fur babies are well cared for! I stop by and spend time with them, give them food and water as needed and I love playing with animals!
