“We are so grateful to Mikayla, and are so glad we found her. 😊 She took great care of our two pups while we were out and about, and our youngest dog is a rescue who is afraid of most people, but seems to have warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely use her in the future.”
“We’ve worked with Nancy before and she’s just such a warm, thoughtful person who clearly loves animals and shows up for the job at hand with a full spirit. Takes great care of the home, it was clean and thoughtfully maintained. We’ll gladly have her back anytime!”
“She was wonderful!! This was our first trip away from our little guy which we were terrified for and he had little to no problems settling down with her. She was super communicative, gave us everyday updates and pictures of favorite. Home was tidy and happy pet when we returned. If you have the chance to book with her do it!! Don’t miss your chance with someone so amazing.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! Please note that if you’re coming in from out of town and traveling with your dog, I am able to bring your pup to my home to roam freely in a fenced in space with my pups. Nice break for you and a vacation for your 4- legged friend! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.
“Bryne has been great the two times she took care of our pup. Our puppy is happy with her and actually eats! Bryne is now our go-to person whenever we need to leave town without our dog.”
“Kailey was great with Tishka, flexible with start and end times and very clean in our home. She checked in with us during her stay and was available pretty last minute, would highly recommend.”
“Bonnie watched our senior dog who requires extra help, attention and love. When we came home our Daphney dog was so happy, wagging her tail, and was so very well taken care of while we were gone. Bonnie has a kind heart and was very respectful of our space. I would totally recommend her to watch your beloved pets!”
About: Hi! My name is Cal, and I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid. I grew up volunteering at the humane society and took classes in college on how to train shelter dogs. I have two dogs; one Golden Retriever and one Red Heeler who love to play with other dogs. They are high energy, so we go on regular hikes every day. I’m a firefighter/EMT, so you can feel safe knowing that I can render care if needed. If your dog likes to go on hikes, they’ll have a good time with us. I currently work weekends and some Fridays. My schedule is pretty open during the week and I am flexible to be there when you need me. I have trackers for my dogs and can provide one for yours if your dog is good off leash. I follow directions well and can tailor my day based on your needs.
“Laura is great! She stayed with our dog and cat for a few days while we were out of town. She sent pictures the whole time, took the dog on nice long walks and left the house totally in order. You wouldn’t have even known she was here. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I'll walk, sit and board your dog while you're away! Whatever you need. I'm a graduate student with open availability. I can come to your place for a quick or long visit. While boarding, I'll feed and walk; watch movies; play or just lounge around. I was raised on a farm with many animals and currently have a well-behaved dog of my own. Let me know the fine details of what you prefer and I'll make sure to see it through. I live near a dog park and I travel around the outdoors and hiking places your dogs will love, too. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a friendly cat and can care for cats, too! Animals of all types are welcome. I’m a graduate student that loves animals! I was raised on a farm and look forward to caring for whatever pet you have. I have open availability so anytime is a good time! I have a fenced yard and take my friendly dog to a local, fenced dog park. Pets are welcome to roam around my house and lounge as they please, or bird watch outside in the yard.
“Ola took care of our dogs, cats, tortoise, and home for a night. They seemed to love her right away, and everyone was happy and loved when we returned. We felt at ease leaving everything in her hands!”
“Amy is reliable, caring and trustworthy. She was great with our sweet, but stubborn 16 year old beagle. Amy communicates well and took excellent care of our house. We look forward to having Amy come help us again!”
“A+++. We could not have asked for a better sitter. Bee did absolutely amazing. We have a dog that requires a little more help than your average dog, and she went above and beyond! She constantly sends pics/videos, sends updates, and always picks up when we tried to reach her. Don’t look further, you have found your dog sitter.”
“Victoria was awesome and so patient with our gals! She was very communicative and made us feel so comfortable being gone for a week. She took great care of the dogs and of the house. Would reccomended her to all of our friends!”
“Matt was great, we had a unique situation of splitting house sitting between a friend and someone on rover and Matt was totally there for it. He was personable, timely, clean and responsive in every way you could want. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to trust their fur babies with”
About: I traveled in a van for many years and before I got Richard, I cared for over twenty dogs of all sizes and temperaments all over the country. I still travel by van and offer in-home pet sitting anywhere around the American West. When I lived in Tucson, I volunteered at the shelter and fostered dogs. I will work with the schedule and routines that your dog is used to so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I’m also an avid hiker and would love to take your pups with me on outdoor adventures if they are up for it. Also happy to take short, gentle walks. I take excellent care of the spaces where I pet sit. I will clean before I leave and will respect your privacy or any of your preferences that we discuss ahead of time.
About: Let your pet stay at my quiet house on the mesa (quick drive to the rio grande gorge trails and tons of hiking trails in my neighborhood!) in El Prado! I have a spacious fenced in yard and am conveniently located between the ski valley and downtown Taos...your pet will have a blast with me! Walks or runs around mesa trails, lots of cuddles and time to explore outdoors, and a yard to roam! I have spent most of my life around dogs -- ranging from labradors to miniature pinschers. I would love to take care of your fur baby while you're out of town or if you need an extra hand during the work week or weekend. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thank you! I’m available for dog walking (or running!) as well. I work part time close to home so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby, spoil them with extra long walks, and give them plenty of cuddles! I do long dog walks on the mesa in my neighborhood’s extensive trail system and can run/walk dogs depending on their energy levels and needs! My yard is fenced in and there’s plenty of room to roam! I have one dog (a 10 year old american eskimo) who is incredibly sweet and calm. He is very friendly and happy to have company as long as your dog is friendly! We welcome your fur baby into our home and will treat them like family!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taos
Five stars for Mikayla. She stayed with our two goldens, Gracie and Goose. She was prompt, flexible, and communicative the entire time; I never once wondered how the dogs were doing. She rolled with a setup that isn't exactly a typical house-sit and made it easy. Her love for animals really shines through, and Gracie and Goose clearly felt it. We look forward to booking Mikayla on our next visit to Taos!
She was wonderful!! This was our first trip away from our little guy which we were terrified for and he had little to no problems settling down with her. She was super communicative, gave us everyday updates and pictures of favorite. Home was tidy and happy pet when we returned. If you have the chance to book with her do it!! Don’t miss your chance with someone so amazing.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Taos on Rover is $53.5 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 29 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Taos. 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 Taos 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 Taos 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 Taos 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
