“Jordan B was avlb right away when my other Rover petsitter had to cx becs of a car accident. Jordan was very kind to my dog & 2 sibling Siamese kitties. He also showed me a better way to organize the 🐕 kibble dish. Thank you, Rover & Jordan B.”
“We had a wonderful experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in Mae’s care for a full week. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and responsive, especially when a few things didn’t go exactly as planned. Communication was consistent throughout the week and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative and caring dog sitter. We would happily have her watch our dogs again!”
About: As a 60 year old I have had dogs my whole life. I love dogs and enjoy treating the ones I sit or care for as my own. I have a small house so am looking for one dog at a time. I will happily come to your home in the East Mountains to feed, play with/walk your pets as well. I have been a Rover sitter for 6 yrs and took a break for a couple. Now I am ready to start caring for dogs once again. I work at home and I have the freedom to come to your house to feed, let your dog out, take your dog for a walk, play and of course give lots of attention. Or if your pet is my house, I can fit in playtime, walks throughout the day, pets, snuggles, etc. Even though our yard is fenced, I will never let your dog off leash. I will be attentive when we are outside so that he/she does not run off, run after wildlife, or get into any mischief. We have cactus in the yard and I will be diligent in keeping your pet away from them! I will treat your pet as my own.
About: NEW CLIENTS GET FREE PET PORTRAIT! My approach is centered around you! With every consult, I write my own notes as reference to study before and during my time with your pet. I am a part time artist so I am happy to be a homebody with your furry friend. I also do longer weekend hikes so I am happy to go on a three mile walk with your energetic pal! I am familiar with dog behaviors (whale eye, disengaging during unwanted actions, utilizing a muzzle if necessary at owners request) . I have clicker trained my kitty as well! I am currently working part time working on my children's graphic novel pitch so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your fur baby! I have availability from 9am-10pm. On hotter days I prefer to walk your pups before noon or after 5pm evening so they don't overheat. I would love to meet your pet first before we work together! That way you can let me know of any health or behavioral concerns and your furry friend isn't scared when a stranger shows up! With every consult I like to take my own notes to ensure that I am fully prepared before I see your pet again! I let your pet dictate our interactions. (Holding out my hand for them to sniff, giving space if your kitty has, "airplane ears" or if your dog has a, "whale eye,"). I am also experienced in redirection, if your dog is barking I'll get the tennis ball going.

About: DOG LOVER! I was born to make dogs happy. I have always grown up with a dog in our home. I personally trained our parent's dog by reading books on dog training and dog psychology. I am working remotely so I will be present in the house most of the time. I provide a strong attention and interaction with dog(s). The backyard is a medium size, completely enclosed. No other dogs are around. Also, I have security cameras so we can monitor them in the house if we are out. Dogs are allowed to chill on the couch.
“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”
“Melissa was so great with our dogs! She followed our instructions perfectly and sent lots of pictures at every visit. Her communication was excellent and I can tell the boys really enjoyed her. Thank you so so much, Melissa!! We will definitely use you for our next vacation!”
“Using Rover for the first time, we chose Jessika based on her good reviews and nearby location. After the meet and greet, my husband and I felt like she would be a caring and reliable sitter for our elderly cat. And she was!! We’d choose her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 845 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Tijeras. 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 Tijeras 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.
To find sitters in Tijeras with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 92% 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.
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.
