About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I don’t see pet sitting as just a job, I treat each animal like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I make communication a priority by keeping owners updated with messages and photos. My goal is not only to care for your pet, but to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands. I do work but also have plenty of availability, which gives me plenty of time during certain mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Just check in with me first about certain times! I plan my schedule carefully so I can provide consistent attention, timely feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I have a fenced off patio and a friendly dog to keep your babies company. If you’d like your animal to be crated, i can easily do that.
About: ⭐️Description⭐️ I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments; anxious dogs, seniors, puppies, and pets that needed medication. I’ve pet sat German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Border Collie puppies, a Welsh Corgi, a Poodle, and many mixed breeds. I also have experience with cats and kittens. I’m comfortable handling dogs that need extra care. My own dog, Molly (a Lhasa Apso), had epilepsy, so I’m experienced with seizures, medication schedules, and staying calm during emergencies. I’ve also worked through behavioral challenges. One of my Chihuahuas was a rescue with aggression issues, and through patience and consistency, she became calm and affectionate. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. —————————————— 🌟🐕 Services 🐈🌟 —————————————— 🚪 Drop-ins 🚪 I’ll follow your instructions carefully, make sure your pet is fed, drinking water, comfortable, and of course spending time with them so they don't feel alone. 🦮 Walks 🦮 Walks will follow your preferred route, distance, and pace to match your dog's need for whatever you see as sufficient. 🏠 House Sitting 🏠 I'll respect your home and your pet's routine. I can study during downtime and stay present with your pet to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for overnight. 📸 Updates 📸 You can always expect updates, photos, videos, and messages. I'm also happy to clarify anything or adjust care instructions as needed! 🕒 Availability 🕒 I'm an aviation student currently doing online ground school, so I have a very flexible schedule and I'm available most days of the week. If I'm ever unavailable, l'll let you know in advance. I’d ask if your pet has any sensitivities (boundaries that might cause aggression if overstepped), if there’s any specific routines your pet needs that aren’t specified, or behaviors I should need to know about ahead of time.
“Jazmine did an amazing job with checking in with me. She spent time with my kitten who warmed up to her quickly. We know animals have a good sense of who’s a beautiful soul. She went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my baby. I didn’t have to worry once while being away. Thank you Jazmin!”
“Carla was great! My girl recently recovered from a double enucleation and I had to go out of town for the first time since. Carla came by for drop in visits so my girl would feel comfortable in her surroundings. She did an excellent job taking care of her, spending time with her and making sure everything was good around the house. She definitely helped me be more at easy during my time away!”
“Saralhi was so wonderful! She assisted us with the drop in service for our 2 pups for several days. She was prompt for every visit and sent me photos during her 30 minute stays. My pups adjusted to her easily. Saralhi is a sweet person who really prides herself in taking the upmost care for her clients' pets. I will definitely recommend her to anyone needing pup care in the El Paso area.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and I’m very happy we did, that’s how we found Lia. She’s so sweet and kind. I felt at ease leaving my cats for a few days under her care. Thank you Lia!”
“Just wow!! Marisol really went the extra mile taking care of our two cats for nearly 10 days! The cats loved her and she was always on time. We will definitely be using Marisol for all of our future pet needs. Highly recommend.”
“Cristina was knowledgeable, considerate, and diligent. I will recommend her and definitely reach out to her ahead of time to ensure I can utilize her services again. My animals were clearly loved and looked after. I don't think I can thank her enough”
About: I am young and active so I’m able to walk dogs for miles as well having the experience with unique breeds like an Alaskan malamute I wake up in the morning at 5 am to feed my dog and I take her out on a mile walk and sometimes run. I treat all dogs the same, I give them the love they need as well as play with them and give them belly rubs too.
About: As a proud dog mom to two Goldendoodles, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I’m experienced with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. My husband and I have a fenced yard, and we know how to create a calm, pet-friendly environment. I also enjoy taking active dogs on walks or runs (if approved by you) and making sure they get plenty of mental stimulation and affection throughout the day. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work from home two days a week, and I have the flexibility to adjust those days to match your pet’s needs whenever possible. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends, making it easy to accommodate overnight stays or weekend getaways. Whether your dog needs a quiet place to relax or an active day filled with walks and play, I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs are treated like family. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, potty breaks, and any special routines to help your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. Whether they enjoy playtime, long walks, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I worked at PetSmart as a dog bather, where I gained experience safely bathing dogs, handling different coat types, and keeping pets calm and comfortable during grooming. This helped me develop patience, gentle handling skills, and the ability to read animal behavior. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I work full time, but I’m available for weekday walks and weekend pet sitting when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️

Please also let me know if they need any assistance doing anything such as jumping also where they are/arent allowed or if they have any habits youd like me to attend to. A typical day of fun would be makings sure the pets follow their normal routine. Then the fun would began !! We would typically go on a walk around the neighborhood or a friendly dog park.

About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in Service, therapy and emotional support dogs. I have 25+ years of experience and a true passion for the care and training of dogs. In order to provide the best experience for your pet we offer homestyle boarding, this means that we try to offer a boarding experience that feels like home. Does your pet sleep in your bed? If yes, they can sleep in a bed with us. Do you cook for your pets? If so, we will make sure to serve them the same meals they eat at home (you provide the food). We will offer a daily routine that is ideal for YOUR pet. Some dogs want to play, while some dogs what relax and nap on the couch.... no matter what their ideal day is we have it covered. I will gladly provide references from current and former clients as well as local rescues. I am a professional dog trainer with the appropriate set-up to do boarding right. Most of the time someone is home with the dogs, on the occasion when that is not possible all dogs are put in a private kennel in our living room. Dogs are only outside for scheduled playtimes when the weather is nice otherwise, they are inside our home. We have outdoor and indoor cameras where needed. Since dogs are in our living room or bedrooms we can always hear them and monitor them for distress. We care for your dogs just like they are our own. Safety and health are always a priority but the most important part of a good boarding experience is making sure that dogs feel as little stress as possible. My knowledge of canine body language and behavior enables me to make the necessary adjustments on a case-by-case basis because the is no single experience that works for every dog.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Santa Teresa stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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.
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.
