About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. My family and I have 4 dogs ourselves. We love animals and love helping others when in need. I currently work full time Monday-Friday. I am available for drop in visits during that time early morning, afternoons depending on distance from my job, and evenings. I am also available anytime for drop ins or house sitting on weekends. I love spending time with all animals and have experience with both cats and dogs. I have 4 dogs and 1 cat of my own.
About: As a pet owner myself, I just adore animals. I have cared for my family and friends pets since I was younger & would love nothing more than doing that for you & your furry friends! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment which means more time and attention for your pets. Pretty much every day of the week I have time to walk, play and sit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I would make it a priority to follow their routine as closely as possible so that the pet feels safe and comfortable. I of course would follow every instruction/rule left for me since keeping the clients trust is also my main priority.
About: Hi! I'm Cynthia(28yrs), and I am passionate about animals, especially dogs❤️. I love caring and being around cats as well. I am Pet CPR/AID/AED certified and take my job seriously. The health, happiness, and conditions of pets & animals mean a great deal to me. I used to be a vet assistant briefly but aim to work in Wildlife, but @ the end of the day I still adore this job. I have had all sorts of pets growing up so I am not limited to just the two and have taken care of other types of pets for clients as well! I have 13 years of dog-sitting and pet-care experience. I’ve done 6 years of leash-training and general training experience. Been on Rover & Wag! for the same amount of time as well. I have a 5.0 star rating on Rover & Wag! with great reviews as well aside from here w reoccurring clients. I have been on Wag! more consistently recently but I am still available on Rover! Please book/request ahead of time! At least 1-3 days ahead for walks (I take same day bookings as well) but week(s) in advance are much preferred for sittings. Available all days of the week! I am flexible most of the time. It is fully dependent on how my week(s) look like at the moment. You would just need to check in first if anything. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ DISCRETION⚠️⚠️⚠️: IF MY SERVICES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED FOR DROPS-IN, WALKS, AND ESPECIALLY SITTINGS PLEASE ADVISE ME WHEN YOU NO LONGER NEED MY SERVICES. AT LEAST A WEEK IN ADVANCE AND MORE FOR SITTINGS FOR A CANCELLATION IS EXPECTED. FOR WALKS & DROP-INS IT IS A THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE OR MORE NOTICE. Please remember to shoot me a message about a cancellation on Rover. Other pet owners are not able to find me unless I archive the message on whether the booking will be continued or not. Sometimes I will only archive so that other pet parents can find me. It doesn’t mean I cancelled. Re-booking is always an option. It’s a new feature Rover has added so unfortunately I can’t respond to multiple people unless I archive them all. If I approved a service with you and archived it. It doesn’t mean I cancelled. I only want to be found by other pet owners who are looking to book with me in the future. I will also archive once approved and submit whether or not we will continue and will definitely advise you on that as well. I expect the same. Thank you Availability for sittings: Monday-Sunday. Same schedule for drop-ins and walks. Please request at least more than 3-5 for sittings. A week or ahead notice is much preferred. I can do last minute requests & even same day requests for sittings but it is not always promised. And if my services are no longer needed, PLEASE cancel ahead of time. I have a strict cancellation policy because other pet parents are unable to search for me due to a new Rover update if a response isn’t given. I only archive the message once a cancellation or confirmation has been approved by the pet-parent or so that others are able to find me to book in the future. I will 100% notify if I am able to work with you or not. It is simply so am able to be searched. VERIFY CANCELLATIONS. Thank you !!!! I usually stick to sittings. I do walks and drop-ins as well. If you are close by and don’t require me to be there overnight I can do that too! Most pets are fine with this although I usually stay the night since pet parents prefer that on Wag! a lot. It depends on the location but I am fine with both. I do my best with every pet and go above and beyond. I like to keep them engaged, happy, and distract them from the fact that their parents are away! I hate seeing pets sad about this so I am big on giving dogs exercise where they can walk, sniff, and exercise to stay happy and healthy. As long as the client leaves clear instructions upon meeting and provides printed out notes and a little background of their pet beforehand. Printed out notes separate from the pet’s care (and where things are located) about the house is super helpful and will be expected. As I don’t want to bug you when you are away. I also like to leave periodic photos and videos of the pets. I usually cuddle w the pets, play, (but mostly take them on walks unless they are cats) fully depending on their care and the pet themselves. I am good at handling all dogs on walks. I am experienced with dogs who are reactive on walks. (Just let me know). I provide potty-time frequently fully depending on the pet as well. If you don’t have treats, let me know! Sometimes I have treats and bones on stand-by. I take care of the pet-parent’s home as well and always clean up before the service is over.

About: I’ve always grown up surrounded by dogs, and caring for animals has been a big part of my life. I currently have three furry family members of my own my two Shih Tzus, Rocky and Raleigh, and our newest addition, Roo! 🐾 They are truly part of our family, and I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your pets like their own. My family is also a big dog loving family (🥰), so I’ve had experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I’ve helped dog sit for my family’s pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, and baths. I’m also comfortable around larger dogs, as my sister has an Aussiedoodle, while my mom has four Shih Tzus! I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own.

“This is for the stop in visits. Allison was wonderful with our very timid dog Lola. She showed up on time, fed her, and patiently let Lola get to know her. We received photos, and several updates on things. Allison was great with her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Socorro is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Socorro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Socorro 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!
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
