About: Hi! I’m Mckinley! I’ve always had a huge love for animals of all kinds, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience with dogs big and small, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care I’d want for my own. I have a very flexible schedule and will make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away :) I’m currently enrolled in an online program working towards my medical coding certification, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’ll have lots of time to give them the attention, love, and affection they deserve! 🤍 I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own home and routine! I’ll follow your pets’ normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, & playtime. I’ll also make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and never feel alone while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pets have!
About: I had three miniature dachshunds until they all eventually passed away from old age. I treated them as if they were children. I am very in tune with an animal’s needs and emotions. Animals that I have never met before, usually take to me right away. When I cared for my father-in-law’s dog for two weeks, he did not want to return home with him….lol. I hate to see any animal suffer or be in danger. I go as far to remove turtles from the road so that they do not get hit and I have tried to save numerous injured birds in the wild. Animals, especially, dogs, provide so much unconditional love. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Thus, I have a lot of availability. I am available Sunday-Saturday 24 hours as long as I am provided at least a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard that I always ensure is securely locked at all times. I would pet proof home ensure no medications or cleaning products, etc are accessible to pets. Also, I would only feed what the owner wanted the pet to be fed.
“This was our first time using Rover so we had no idea what to expect. I've never had someone stay in the house but Tara took away all of those worries. She was AMAZING at being available last minute when our original Rover booking cancelled 4 hours before we were leaving on vacation. She was in constant communication, even when I probably sent too many messages asking how the dogs were doing :) I would highly recommend as she asked all the right questions and had the right personality to be patient enough with my dogs who are always a little anxious towards strangers.”
“Chloe was an incredible sitter! We had her house and dog sit for us and she couldn’t be kinder and more caring for my babies. She kept us updated throughout the entire booking. Definitely recommend!”
“Cathy took great care of my 2 mini schnauzers. They were relaxed (as much as mini schnauzers can relax😆) and healthy when we returned home. I felt very comfortable leaving my doggies with Cathy in charge! Cathy was very communicative throughout her stay and she was respectful of our home. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We will continue to have her help us with our doggies during our times away from home.”
“Second time we’ve used Taylor and we plan to many more times. We missed our flight heading home and she stayed longer to look after our pup and we were sooo grateful!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals.

About: I have been dog sitting since middle school and all the way through college! I am passionate about helping you and making your life easier! Doggies will be in excellent hands until your return home. Cant wait to meet your furry, loved ones!❤️ Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule. I work full-time during the week, but I have availability in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.

“We had a wonderful experience with Angie! She kept our home very clean and well taken care of while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she took incredible care of all of our animals. She spent as much time with them as possible, made sure our dogs got plenty of outside time, and kept their routines consistent. We also loved receiving daily picture updates, which made being away from them so much easier. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾”
“Matt was wonderful with our 2 black lab puppies. He spent all day giving them attention they required. I would recommend Matt again for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“This was my first time leaving my babies Maggie and Milo for a trip and I was absolutely terrified of it. I was very worried about Maggie in particular because she has separation anxiety and doesn’t warm up to strangers. When Elizabeth saw that Maggie wouldn’t eat whatsoever, she went to the store and bought some food that helped with her appetite. She even took Milo to the vet since nobody else could take him and began administering his meds. I struck gold with Elizabeth who went above and beyond to gain their trust and take care of them. She also did all she could to reassure me and has won my trust. She took such good care of my dogs and I highly recommend her. Definitely will be having her dog sit my babies again when necessary!”
“Mckayle was very attentive to our dogs! She was willing to go above and beyond, kept our house in order and took great care of our boys! We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future if we need a house sitter! Thank you Mckayle for doing an amazing job!”
About: Pet Experience Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had both dogs and cats for most of my life, and I truly can’t imagine my home without them. I currently have two pittie mixes who are goofy, loving, energetic, and definitely keep life interesting! Because I’ve lived with animals for so many years, I know that every pet has their own personality, routines, quirks, and way of showing you what they need. I love getting to know each animal and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet in my care the way I would want someone to treat my own dogs—with patience, affection, attention, and lots of love. Whether your pup wants to play, go for a walk, cuddle on the couch, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐾❤️ I work as a school psychologist in the local public school system, so I have weekends, evenings, and school breaks off. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets and give them the attention they deserve. I’m happy to stay overnight when needed or stop by for walks, playtime, belly rubs, and lots of love! 🐾❤️ I’m a very active person and love being outside, so if your dog enjoys adventures, we’ll have a great time together! Depending on what your pup enjoys, I’m happy to take them on walks, hikes, runs, or even to the dog park. I’ll always follow your preferences and your dog’s energy level—whether they’re ready for an adventure or would rather relax and cuddle at home. I want your pets to feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away, and I’ll treat them just like I’d want someone to treat my own dogs. ❤️🐶
“Maddie was fantastic with my pets during this visit. I’m always nervous because Duke is 120 lbs and Daisy is a puppy, but she showed them so much love. I’m happy that they are able to stay at home, and I don’t have to worry. Will definitely book again!”
“Patricia has been watching my babies off and on before she joined Rover. now it’s good to have a platform to schedule the times! I must say one of my dogs love her more than me hahaha. She treats them like her own babies! Given I have two large dogs it’s nice she has a huge yard for them To run around in and they feel like she’s their second mom. Could not say enough nice things about her and how happy my dogs are with her. I think they have so much fun they don’t want to come home 😔. 5 stars!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Chelsie! My dogs love her so much and get SO excited when they see her! Just the fact that she put up with all the crazy routines that I have with my pups, makes her even more amazing! I usually get so anxious when I leave my dogs and for the first time I felt so much peace doing so. I was dealing with a family emergency and she was so flexible with my schedule and so willing to help that I will be forever grateful and almost tempted to leave a bad review so I can keep her all to myself! LOL”
“Avary did a wonderful job with taking care of my fur babies. She was reliable and trustworthy. She arrived on time, kept me updated, sent pictures, and followed through with requests. I will definitely be using her in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Silver City
Words cannot say enough about how awesome Kristine is. In one chance selection of sitter off of Rover which I haven’t needed in quite some time, we have not only gained a trusted sitter for our fur baby, but a trusted friend as well. Kristine was not only the most amazing with our Ellie, but handled plumbing issues, changes in schedules and all the other unexpected things we threw her way! 10/10 is not enough to say how great she truly is. Absolutely, do not look any further for someone to trust your babies and your home too!!
Britney was a pleasure to work with and took great care of our two babies! One of our pups in particular needed a little bit extra because of his health and Britney was so attentive and caring which made us feel so comfortable and assured. Highly recommend!
Very sweet lady but had to be away from my pets the majority of the time due to her working another job. Bed was just thrown back together, sheets and blanket at end of bed under comforter. Other that those two things I can’t complain. She was very reasonable in her pricing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Silver City on Rover is $55.5 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 1,851 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Silver City. 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 Silver City 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 Silver City 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 Silver City 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 Silver City. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
