“Audrey was wonderful. Her calm demeanor and ability to engage with my dogs was outstanding. She was responsive, detail oriented and a stellar housesitter. I would be thrilled to have her take care of our dogs and home the next time we are away.”
“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: 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.
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.
“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!”
“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!”
About: Pleasure to meet you. I’m coming from Columbus Ohio where I had my own dog training / walking / sitting business. My partner and I currently live in a class c van, named Goose. We just came back from our summer in Alaska and will be settled in Taos till about April. On top of running my own business, I’ve also worked at a dog daycare + train, worked my own dogs in competitions, worked with cadaver training and bite work clubs! … I do love the dogs man. I’m Mariah, a dedicated dog trainer with a profound passion for working breeds adapting to urban living. I personally own two working breeds: a Blue Heeler named Letty & a Siberian Husky named Benjamin. Benjamin entered my life concurrently with my boyfriend, a few years back. Letty joined me in my early twenties when I was naive, of our journey ahead. I put a lot of time into gaining knowledge of canine behavior, body language, specific-breed needs, & unique ways to meet them. This ignited my passion for building an unbreakable bond between like-minded owners & their dogs. Cultivating a strong bond with your dog is undoubtedly the most fulfilling experience. This is why I strive to empower my clients through my training sessions. I hope to meet you soon! I treat your pets like my own, and I don’t have children… so some use the adjective “spoiled” and I just hear “their needs are being met” :) I will not be offering pets in my home, because it’s a van, with two people, two dogs and a cat lol. However while staying at your home, my dogs with be with my partner, and I will follow whatever rule, and your comfort level you have with a stranger living in your home for a moment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Taos
Traci met with me on short notice since I had to leave town for a funeral. From the moment I met her I was confident that she would take good care of my two poodles. She came when I expected her and took the girls out right away. She sent many photos and videos to ensure that I knew they were being properly cared for even when I wasn’t always able to respond. My girls were in perfect condition when I came home. Speaking of when I arrived home, Traci washed my bedding since one of my dogs got sick on my bed and she even cleaned up in the kitchen. I am very grateful since I had a very stressful week before I left town. I would not hesitate to ask Traci back should I need a dog sitter in my home in the future. Furthermore, I would highly recommend Traci should you require assistance with your pets.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Taos is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $78 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 30 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
