About: A natural born caretaker, I’ve taken care of Dogs, cats, birds and kids most of my life. I was also a full time Realtor for 10 years so I’m familiar with navigating households in a professional manner. I live a sober, simple, happy life and if we seem to be a good fit, I would love to help care for your pets and your home as if they were my own. 🙏💕✌️ My availability is open right now. I am new to the area but have my own transportation so I’m more than willing to travel when and where needed. I would care for pets in YOUR home. I am confident in my abilities to both pet and house sit as I was a housekeeper/mom for 25 years, a realtor for 9, and business owner so I’m very respectful of others and their homes. I have been a pet owner most of my life. Also did pet sit regularly for my moms 2 dogs for past year and LOVED it 🥰. I very naturally keep a neat home, follow a schedule and tend to others needs easily.
“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was professional and provided updates every day while we were away. Our 3 dogs played their hearts out and were taken care of the way we wanted. Jennifer was reliable and gave us the peace of mind we needed!”
“Rae did a great job with our little girl. She spent lots of time with her and got to know her well. She sent us photo and video updates daily. We will use her again.”
“Dominique took excellent care of my pups and my place. She followed the dog and house care instructions to the letter. They instantly took to her at the meet and greet. She sent tons of updates and pictures throughout the sitting. Will definitely always book her to care for my pups during any future getaways.”
“I highly recommend Jalen as a dog sitter! He was incredibly attentive to my dogs, making sure they were well-cared for, walked, and happy while I was away. He kept my house very clean, which was a great bonus. He communicated frequently, sending me regular updates and photos of my dogs so I could see how well they were doing. I’d absolutely recommend him and will be booking him again in the future!”
About: Hi there! I’m a pet parent with experience in walking and petsitting both dogs and cats. I also have limited experience working with other animals, such as birds, fish, and reptiles. I currently have 2 cats but have a long history of raising pets of different kinds. I love all animals and am pawsitively excited to meet yours! 🐾 I’m doing petsitting and dogwalking as a primary source of income right now so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m doing this on an almost daily basis! I have a lot of experience with animals with different needs and can easily adapt to fit your pets’ needs, whatever they may be. We can communicate about what is necessary!
About: I've always had a dog in the house since I was born, but I also have vast experience taking care of the pets of immediate family, as well as a lot of my extended family. I've taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and fish for as long as I can remember. Currently, I'm studying wildlife and animal care at school and have experience with internships where I handle animals. I'm currently working part time, but only around 4-8 hours a week, so I have lots of time to take care of pets. I'm at home for the majority of the day, and I often take long walks during the day that I would love to bring dogs on. I also have a car and everything in my life is in close proximity to my house, so if I'm ever not at home I can come right back very soon. I have a fenced yard and several parks nearby my house that I can take dogs to. I have no dogs in the house but I'm happy to board many if necessary. I can crate dogs if necessary but I don't have to, they're allowed to have free reign of the house if the owner is okay with it. Dogs are allowed on the furniture but again if an owner requests they not do that then that's great too!
About: I have experience with dogs and birds. I’ve raised parrots for years but left them with my parents in Texas. I am a biologist who moved out here for work with my girlfriend. We have a Pomeranian named Teddy that loves attention and playing with other animals. We will do our best to accommodate any needs for your furry friend :) I’m available full time :) just shoot me a message and I can see what I can do for you as I do have my own pets and family. I live in a 1bedroom with our small Pomeranians Teddy and Chloe. They love to run around and play with his toys and sunbathe as we have a huge window with a view. In any case, know that a watchful eye will always be kept on your fur baby as space is limited:)
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Mellania! She took such great care of Lentil and Brody while we were away. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your pet with someone new, but Mellania quickly put our minds at ease with her professionalism, warmth, and constant communication. She sent regular updates with photos, which showed just how happy and comfortable Lentil and Brody were. When we got back, both dogs were so calm, happy, and clearly VERY well cared for. It’s obvious that Mellania genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“Halo is just the sweetest, most trustworthy sitter that you will be able to find. Our dogs can be a bit nervous & hesitant with new people & they warmed up to Halo really fast. She was patient, kind and caring with both of them & their specific care needs. She has definitely quickly become our pet sitter of choice & will be contacting her for any future ocassions.”
“Kelsie was absolutely amazing with our two dogs and our home. You can truly tell how much she loves and cares for animals. She kept us updated, was always very responsive, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were so loved and well cared for, and she also kept the house very clean and organized.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tecate
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,516 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tecate. 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 Tecate 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 Tecate 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 Tecate 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 Tecate. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
