About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and overnight stays. Since I’m able to bring my schoolwork with me, I can comfortably spend extended time in your home while still keeping up with my studies and, most importantly, providing your pets with companionship and care. The safety and comfort of your pets is my top priority. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routines and your specific instructions so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would want someone to show my own home and pets.

Janet was an amazing pet sitter! She stayed at our home with our two Yorkie puppies for two weeks, including overnight, and took such wonderful care of them. It was clear they loved her, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while I was away. She gave them so much attention, played with them, and truly treated them like her own. Janet was incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and flexible, making the entire experience stress-free. One of my favorite parts was that she sent lots of photos and videos throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to see how much fun my puppies were having. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book Janet again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is caring, dependable, and genuinely loves animals!

Amy was wonderful! She watched our 10 year old dog at home while we were away and took amazing care of her, fed her, gave her her medications and took her for walks. Our dog is very expressive and I could see she was happy from the pictures she sent. We highly recommend her. Thank you so much, Amy!

Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.

About: Hi, my name's Betsy. I love animals of all kinds, and have shared in their love and care all of my life.. I ensure they get the best care and have also volunteered at an animal shelter where I assisted in taking care of dogs and cats. A long term cat owner, I currently am owned by a lovely senior boy cat. My goal is to ensure that all of the pets in my care get everything they need to be their best selves. I am cool, calm, and collected in emergency situations. You can count on me to get your pet(s) any care that they may need. I can also handle most medications and love to hang out with seniors. Daytime visits work best for me (I’m flexible on time) and can do some evening care if necessary. I appreciate your consideration I have a part time job so this is a great opportunity to give pets the care they need. I really love meeting new pets and making friends with them. I know pets needs and can make sure all are met I love to ensure that pets get everything they need to be their best selves, from basic care to assisting with training. I've been a pet owner all my life, and can do anything from long walks to play to administering medicine of all kinds.

About: Please only book me if you can provide proof of current vaccinations for your pet. I've had multiple of my own pets, including some with special needs. I can give medicine, supervise mealtimes, bathe, brush, trim nails, and anything else needed to give your fur babies the 5 star experience they deserve. I've been a freelance sitter for my friends before, but I'm looking to expand my work schedule beyond holidays and weddings. This is basically a full time job for me, and that focus is reflected in the service I give. You and your pets can rest assured that I will provide full attention to their needs for the booked service period, no shortcuts, no excuses. I require all pets in my care to be up to date on their vaccinations. Please send me proof of current rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and canine influenza shots upon booking. Any concerns I notice with long term health such as allergies, gait issues, or fleas will be communicated during the visit and a solution can be deployed in real time. Dogs will be monitored for signs of fatigue during hot weather, and I will make sure they don't burn their paws on walks.

Posie loved Jaylene! Jaylene did a great job caring for Posie this last week. She stayed in our home while we were gone. Everything was clean and neat when we got home and Posie was great! Jaylene sent us updates and photos throughout the week and that really helped relieve my anxiety! We plan to ask Jaylene to stay with Posie for our next vacation!

Lacey was responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, observant and so incredibly kind! She took the best care of our 3 fur babies while we were away! She went above and beyond and prioritized the care of our animals the entire time. Our pets will be so excited to see her again the next time we are away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.

TOP NOTCH, is probably the best way I can describe Jennifer. I am a newbie to New Mexico and had to make an unexpected trip to California. I was a bit stressed about leaving my girls behind because back home I could leave them with a family member. When we did our meet and greet it was obvious that Jennifer would be a great choice. My girls especially my smaller dog Lucy took to her right away, the meeting eased my anxiety about having to leave them. Jennifer sent daily pictures and updates, she took them for walks, calmed Lucy when she heard fireworks, and really feel she went the extra mile. I don’t think I could have left my girls in better hands. I sincerely appreciate the care she gave then and would recommend her in a heartbeat. I will defiantly be using her again Jennifer is a keeper!

Allison came to us in our moment of NEED. I had never used rover before but we got stuck while out of town and had no one to watch our fur babies. So thankful to have found Allison and when we got home, all three of them were SO happy!! Allison was so attentive to all of their needs and made sure to ask any and all questions as they arose. She sent us pics and videos everyday, which really put our minds at ease. Allison is now our go-to dog sitter and house sitter when we leave home. Don’t even go to anyone else’s profile. Allison is as far as you need to go!!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

About: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.

About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.

Savannah did a wonderful job caring for our 17-year-old dog while we were away. She was prompt, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire experience. Our dog seemed very comfortable with her. What really stood out was Savannah's understanding of senior dogs. Because she has experience with an elderly dog of her own, she understands the extra attention, patience, and care that older pets often need. That gave us peace of mind knowing our senior dog was in such capable and compassionate hands. We would happily recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands.🫶🏼 I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets.

I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and pets are always welcome inside my home where they’ll be treated like family. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel happy and secure.

FAQs for House Sitting - Santo Tomas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 263 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Santo Tomas. 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 Santo Tomas 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 Santo Tomas 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 Santo Tomas 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 Santo Tomas. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
