About: Welcome to my pet sitting page! I'm a life long animal caregiver and owner. I have owned rescued dogs to the more exotic pets in my 24 years of animal care experiences. I have experience with puppies/puppy training and those dogs of many grey hairs (senior) who may need a little extra support. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide pet services during the day or night most days of the week. Our beautiful mountain home sits on 2 acres of land. 1 fully fenced acre with high fencing and dog door access 24/7. If your furry friend DIGS UNDER or has history of ESCAPING fencing I will not be able to accommodate their stay. The property is natural mountain landscape (no cement or asphalt). I have one younger dog named Mackie to keep your pups company if boarded. She has a friendly and playful disposition along with a calm demeanor in the home good for any visiting dog.
About: I've taken care of animals who needed insulin twice a day, I grew up taking care of the cat who gave birth in my apartment and I've always had an animal in my life, they deserve all the vacay time you get! I currently am studying to work from home and I do most of my studying online, if you have wifi or a little cafe close to home I can give your pet(s) all the care they need! I've been with crated animals as well as animals who have their own bed they sleep in every night I'm used to routine and am good at adapting to their schedule!
“Quinn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He was also flexible in setting up a time to do a meet and greet before we left. The dogs were well taken care of and the house was in excellent shape upon our return. Quinn was very thoughtful and tidy and even started laundry for his bedding and towels before we got home.”
“Shelly was able to accommodate a last minute booking and her help was greatly appreciated. We felt very comfortable having her stay in our home for the weekend and she sent picture updates of the doggos. We would book Shelly again!”
“Arman was absolutely wonderful. He provided great care for our large Akita. Arman walked our dog Max regularly. He fed Max and gave him his medication on schedule and Arman provided us with regular updates and photos. I highly recommend Arman F. !”
“Was absolutely spectacular! Kept me up to date with everything. Was quick to respond to communication. I can't say how much I appreciate her being able to do this last minute!”
“My two boys (a golden retriever and a goldendoodle) seemed to love their time with Brooke. She sent daily pictures and walked the dogs frequently while keeping the house in great shape. Highly recommend her.”
“Onrae met with us twice before we left on vacation to meet the dogs and then orient himself with our house sitting needs. Onrae stayed in good communication with us while we were gone for 6 days, including photos. When we returned home, the house was exactly how we left it and the dogs were happy and healthy.”
“Juan was great! He came to my house last minute while my husband was in the hospital and stayed with Bacon for us. He took great care of our baby. He actually had him come back the next day to help again.”
“Kat was amazing at house & pet sitting. She was very communicative, sent pics and updates appropriately, and left our pets happy and home just as it was before she arrived. I highly recommend her!”
“Another relaxing vacation knowing that our babies are happy, safe, and cared while we are away. We can’t thank Tessa enough. She is amazing and the pups enjoy their time with her too!”
About: I have always had dogs. Love them just like a human. I will care for your dog kids just like my own with love and compassionate care I do work full time weekdays. I have a big yard with 2 different runs. One for small and for bigger dogs. Both runs have shade and access to water. My dogs are treated just like I would treat my human kids. They are in the house except for walks or potty breaks. Exercise is required as I live across the street from a park
“We felt very comfortable leaving Becky in charge of our 2 dogs (one elderly who needs meds daily), 2 cats, 21 chickens and turkeys, and horse. The house looked lovely when we returned and the animals seemed comfortable and content. We will definitely ask her for farm sit again!”
“Montgomery did a great job taking care of Spencer and house sitting for me while I was away for a week. She sent me daily pics and updates. She was responsive to texts. Spencer was a healthy, happy boy when I returned. My home was clean and Montgomery went the extra mile and laundered my towels and bedding before I returned. I would trust her with Spencer’s care again.”
About: I combine reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I keep you updated, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, like you never left! I’m a last semester nursing student doing my capstone! 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!
“Angelina helped me out the day of when my previous sitter that I had already booked became unresponsive and I had to find someone new quickly. She was very communicative and my dogs enjoyed her watching them.”
About: Hi, my name is Sam. I am in the Albuquerque area and would be happy to help you with your pets. I have tons of experience with animals including volunteering for cat adoption days with PACA, rehoming abandoned animals, petsitting special needs animals, fostering, agility and show dog training, and behavioral training with dogs. I also have a passion for my fish hobby :) due to this app being a little odd with keeping a lot of our pay lets discuss on our own time a good solid plan ahead with your furry friend that way everyone is happy :) I am available in the afternoons up to the early evenings. However, I can make an exception for some early morning check-ins or walks. Just feel free to ask first! Because I work from home, I am more flexible when it comes to extended periods of pet-sitting as long as I have a quiet place to work. Whatever instructions and guidance I am given I am happy to respect and adhere to those rules when it comes to being in someone else's space or if they are coming to my house. In my own home, it is calm, quiet, with a gated area in the back patio with a garden. The animals are free to move about in the house. I do not have a backyard per se but the back patio is a decent size and secure for dogs to do their business and relax for a bit. I do not have animals of my own at the moment.

FAQs for House Sitting - San Antonito
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across San Antonito. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred San Antonito walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in San Antonito maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in San Antonito choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
