“Vicki was AMAZING! She came over with a pen and notepad and took meticulous notes on the care of our home and pup! She kept us posted while we were away and left our home SPOTLESS. I’d use and recommend Vicki a million times over!”
“Joshua is dependable and trustworthy. My senior 57 lb dogs were treated with love and received attentive care. Joshua ilkept me updated during his stay at home. My home was treated with respect and was clean and organized when i arrived home. Highly recommend Joshua.”
“Brittany is fantastic. She is a very warm person who put us at ease immediately during the meet and greet. Rascal was immediately at ease with her. She stayed in contact throughout the time. Rascal was happy and bonded with her. We will definitely use her again!”
“She hit it off with my dogs right away, which was a pretty big green flag. My dogs are in kind of a unique situation where they needed to follow some extra rules to keep them separate and safe, and she did a great job of maintaining that. She sent pictures and photos of the pups while I was gone too, and it was really cute to see them having fun.”
“Lise stayed for two weeks and the dogs were relaxed and happy. She left my home spotless and even washed the sheets and made the bed. She walked the dogs daily and decided each day what my old man was capable of in the heat. I would have Lise watch my boys again in a heartbeat.”
“Joy is absolutely wonderful and fantastic. She took care of our Australian Shepherd who needs careful watching because of colitis. Joy gave our pup the medications and was very, very attentive. She sent us photos and was extremely kind. We would hire her again in a second!”
“I have had Cheyenne house sit for me a few times. She is always wonderful, the dogs well taken care of and happy. The communication is great when anything comes up or needs an answer. Highly recommend.”
“Dustin is probably one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. He was so respectful, responsive and responsible. He obviously cared about our fur babies very much and was great at sending pictures, updates and any questions. If I asked a question he was very quick to respond. It’s awesome to come home to a neat house too. It’s great knowing we have a local sitter now, if needed.”
“Lily was great! Our dogs love basically everyone but they rarely feel at home enough to nap and snuggle with the sitter. We got lots of pictures throughout the day of them doing just that, comfortable enough to snuggle and nap all day. Definitely will have her watch them again!”
“Madison is amazing! She took great care of our pets and home and we were able to fully be present on our trip knowing everyone was so well taken care of. Would highly recommend her to anyone :)”
“Excellent sitter! Very attentive to our boys and even brought extra toys for our kitty to enjoy. Will hopefully book again. If anyone is looking for a sitter for multiple pets, Samuela is amazing.”
About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs and cats. I've been taking care of pets in a house-sitting context for the past 16 years. I am extremely responsible and caring and will always put your dogs/cats/pets first. I love spending time with animals and I am happy to follow your instructions very carefully in order to provide the best possible care for your pet! I have experience caring for dogs with lots of energy and the need for long walks/park visits and I really enjoy taking them on these adventures! I have a special relationship with cats, where I am able to communicate well with them and befriend them easily. I am also great with plant care and keeping the house clean and in order. My schedule is flexible. I often work from home. I am a massage therapist as well so I often have lots of breaks where I can spend time with/check on your pet! I cannot take pets in my home at this time but I am happy to come to or stay in your home. My first priority is caring for the animals and making sure they are getting a lot of attention and have their needs for food/walks/play/cuddles met. I also am very clean and respectful in others' homes and will make sure that the space is well-cared for.
About: I believe the animals we share our lives with are our family and life companions. They are individuals with their own personalities, likes, dislikes, and special quirks. I am able to meet each pet in whatever they need to flourish while their family is away. As an animal lover with 12+ years of experience, you can expect to return to a happy pet and clean house. As a graduate student, most of my days are dedicated to projects, studying and attending a couple of in-person classes. Additionally, I work part time a few evenings of the week as a line cook. I am physically active and can take your dog on multiple walks or outings throughout the day. Most of my studying can be done from inside the home alongside where your cat or dog likes to camp. I drive a large car which can carry medium to larger dogs comfortably for going to trails, dog parks, or walking spaces. Dogs and cats can expect daily intentional play time with their preferred toy and consistent feeding times. You can depend on me to pick up dog poop for a happy backyard and neighborhood, and to scoop up cat litter for an odor free house. I love snuggles so if your pet likes touch, they'll get all their cuddle needs met. I understand your house is your sacred place so it will always be one of my top priorities to keep it in pristine condition while you're away.
“Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Amanda is an awesome dog-sitter. She helped us twice this past week and was very prompt, responsible and personable. She was great with our dogs and we will definitely be booking with her again. We highly recommend Amanda for your dog-sitting needs.”
“Kathleen was an amazing sitter. She loves animals and we felt very comfortable with her staying and watching Maisie and Wilma. She was very fast with communication and kept us updated when we were away. We would highly recommend and will use her services again!”

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 Tesuque 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 Tesuque 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 Tesuque 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 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 .
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.
