“Catori did an amazing job with my two large dogs and two cats. She went above and beyond and played with/ trained my dog. Catori also kept my house clean and took out the trash. She went above and beyond expectations and did a very good job.”
“I cannot thank Kamila enough for the work that she provided me in caring for my dogs. Kamila is an amazing professional. She is very skilled in caring for animals and she projects an aura of professionalism that there is no need for any level of concern for the pet or the property. I left home totally confident that everything was going to ok. When I returned, she had not only done the contracted work but had gone above and beyond. Thank you very, very much!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old and have owned more than three dogs throughout my life. I also have hands on experience from completing over 50 hours of volunteer work at El Paso Humane Society, where I helped groom, feed, and care for dogs while preparing them for adoption. I’m comfortable around dogs of different personalities and understand the importance of patience, and making them feel safe and loved. I am currently working part time on the weekends and I am attending UTEP as a sophomore. In weekends I would be available early mornings and weekdays would be early mornings along with afternoons. I have a big backyard for my dog to run around and get exercise and refill his water twice a day to keep up with him. At a client’s homes I will follow their instructions strictly. With my own dogs I give them all the walks they need to get exercise and have a fun day. I would treat a client’s dogs as my own.
“Carla is by far THE BEST dog sitter we have ever had! She loves our babies like they were her own and we can travel with complete peace of mind that our fur babies will be in great hands! She leaves our home clean and ready for us to just enjoy being back with our doggies! 🤩”

I'm available for boarding anytime, or any day. You just need to give me heads up as soon as possible. I work 9 to 3 PM on weekdays but my wife is here all day.

About: I have worked with several animal shelters across Texas, including San Antonio Pets Alive! shelter and the Palm Valley Animal Center. My family and I have cared for both cats and dogs for over 12 years. I am currently a full-time student, so my schedule is most available in the evenings or early mornings. My weekends are most available and flexible for any pet needs. In my home, I care for my pets by making sure that they have access to plenty of food and water. I am gentle with my pets, and check for signs of distress if they are acting strange.
About: All my life, I have been around animals. I had pets, and I took care of my family's pets. Being an only child, the animal became a family to me!! Usually when I'm boarding a pet, I like to taking to walks so the can feel comfortable and enjoy the stay. Once back from the walks, I love to play with them so we can nap together right after! Based on what the pet parents indicated to me. I will ensure they get all the attention and the company your pet deserves. Will feed them, walk them, play with them, and bathe them if necessary. My goal is to make sure they feel as loved as their parents make them feel

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, he kept us updated with great communication, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that he genuinely cared not only for our dog but also for our home. When we returned, everything was exactly as we left it—our house was spotless, and our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Desiree! I’m 29 years old, and my love for animals has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and throughout my life I’ve opened my heart and home to many pets in need. I had the privilege of fostering animals for two years, caring for pets from different backgrounds and with different personalities. While I eventually stepped away from fostering because saying goodbye became so difficult, my passion for helping animals never faded. That’s what inspired me to become a Rover sitter. I’m also the proud dog mom of three amazing dogs of all sizes, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. When your pet is in my care, they’ll be treated like family—with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own dogs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. I offer weekday, evening, and weekend availability with advance notice. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my highest priority. I carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care your pet may need. I provide a clean, secure environment, constant supervision, and plenty of affection to help your pet feel at ease. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member and give them a fun, safe, and loving home away from home! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. I can accommodate weekday, evening, and weekend bookings with advance notice. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and affection while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. I maintain a clean, safe environment, provide constant supervision, and make sure pets feel relaxed and loved. I also have experience caring for my own dogs and understand the importance of patience and positive interactions.

Elsa was a wonderful dog sitter who took great care of our senior pup while we were gone. She did an amazing job with his medical needs including giving him his injection meds. She sent daily updates and made sure he was happy! I felt very reassured that he was in great hands while we were away. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable caring and attentive sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Santa Teresa on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 404 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santa Teresa. 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 Santa Teresa 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 Santa Teresa 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 Santa Teresa 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Teresa. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
