“Cody kept Dog & Bob from missing us, too much, while we were gone. Doggies were happy and well contented when we got home to them. For two larger and excitable dogs it is much appreciated.”
“August was very responsive, thoughtful and a good communicator. He sent lots of updates about my dog and how he was doing. My house was in good order and my dog seemed happy and content upon my return! Would recommend him for sure!”
“Mariah was amazing! Lots of communication and pictures. Kept the dogs and chicks well watered, fed and happy. Took amazing care of the house while staying here in our home. We will use her always if we can! Highly recommend Mariah! We love her and so did our pets❤️”
“Greg was just as fantastic as I expected him to be. He treated my dear canines as if they were his own. He came back to return our key and was greeted enthusiastically by all three, which is the absolute best review I think anyone here could receive. I more travel planned later this year and Greg is at the top of my list for taking care of my furry, four-legged kids when that time comes.”
“Our dogs are like our children so we only leave them in the best hands. We did a meet and greet with Rita before booking her for our trip. Rita was more than willing to do it complimentary, but with any business it is important to pay people for their time and professionalism. Rita’s high reviews are accurate and we felt at ease by the end of the meet and greet. Fast forward to the first time we booked Rita, which was over a holiday weekend. Rita stayed at our house overnight and ensured our dogs felt at ease with us being gone. We have a very protective German Shepherd (90lbs) and an older Yorkie (9lbs), which require different levels of attention. Rita communicated multiple times a day with pictures and updates. By the time we came home, our pets were very content and did not act like we ever left. It was a wonderful surprise to see how relaxed they were, especially our shepherd. We will book again and cannot speak highly enough of Rita’s great care.”
“As always Laurie is dependable, kind with the dogs and attentive to anything unusual going on in the household or neighborhood. Great peace of mind when we're away.”
“Marty was an absolute delight! He communicated extremely well, and left the house looking beautiful. Our little dachshund was a happy camper. We look forward to having Marty return!”
“Seven was great! They took great care of my dogs and regularly communicated. We will definitely be asking Seven to watch our dogs again. Came home to a clean house and happy dogs!”
“Tabitha did a great job house-sitting and watching our two pups on very short notice. She sent plenty of pictures, and it was clear our pups were happy and comfortable with her.”
“We were away for 23 days on a long road trip, and our sitter did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were gone. She was responsible and communicative. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us during such a long trip. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Christina did a wonderful job for us and taking care of our animals. She did everything i asked her to, sent pics of the animals (loved that) and left our house in great shape. We couldn't even tell we had a house guest. Would definitely use her in the future. Karla”
“Daniel helped us on two parts of a recent long trip with caring for our two young, big dogs and our home! I can't even begin to praise this person enough for how delicate and caring he was with our babies and home-and so communicative with sweet updates and photos! I have never left my babies with as much confidence they would be okay when I got back and they were!!-Thank you, Daniel!”
“We had the pleasure of meeting Savannah recently and she stayed with my beloved rescue pup Diego. Savannah is professional, kind, easy-going, and a wonderful Dogsitter. She sent tons of pictures of Diego enjoying himself which made for relaxing trip, knowing he was in such good hands :).”
“Susana was great, filling in in last minute... She is great with my pup and cat and leaves the house very neat and tidy. I appreciate her so much and won't hesitate to ask her to stay again”
“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”
“Alexandria was amazing with Tito!! I didn’t have to worry about a thing the whole time I was gone and Tito was very happy and well taken care of! We will definitely call again to have her watch Tito next time we travel!!”
“Arman was great with our two pups! Since it was a longer trip he walked them for us as well as staying at the house which was huge since they are both very active and need time outside every day. Quick to respond and took good care of the house too. Will definitely book again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sandia Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sandia Park on Rover is $59.91 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 631 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sandia Park. 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 Sandia Park 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 Sandia Park 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 Sandia Park 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.

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.
