“Marty is awesome! He has now stayed with our pups on multiple occasions and has done a great job. He is very trustworthy and respectful of our home and dogs. He has been able to connect with our very hyper girls and understands their need to be active. He reaches out to us just to let us know the dogs are doing well while we're away. He gives us peace of mind while traveling knowing our dogs are safe and being taken care of. That is priceless! Thank you for all of your help, Marty! We highly recommend Marty to anyone who needs someone reliable, trustworthy and in tune with your pets!”
“We were so grateful that Daniel was able to watch our dog on such short notice! He did a great job with our dog who has severe separation anxiety! He is a great conversationalist and we felt comfortable having him at our house. We look forward to having him watch our dog in the future!”
“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”
“August did an amazing job with our dog and two cats. We were visiting SLC and needed someone to watch our animals over two days while we were at an event. Our dog was very anxious the first night due to 4th of July fireworks and the change of environment but August handled him well and kept him as calm as possible until we returned. He even stayed an extra 30 minutes while my husband was stuck in traffic. By the second day our dog was relaxed while we were gone because he knew August was a safe person. August was communicative throughout both days and kept us updated with photos and notes on how the animals were doing. I highly recommend August to anyone who needs a kind, patient pet sitter.”
“Thanks Tahlese! She was responsible and dependable with great communication and attention to detail. She was also flexible and worked with us when we had a last minute (slight) change of plans. I would recommend Tahlese for your dog and cat care needs!”
“Brooke was great! She left a happy pet and a clean house. She was also very helpful with a delivery that came while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again”
“LANI was excellent with Molly Bea. She gave her all she needed including play at the dog park. She dealt with an unexpected Molly health emergency, for which we are so very grateful. Lani communicated with us by phone and text, took excellent care of her, kept us updated. She took Molly to the emergency vet, picked her up again and stayed with Molly until we arrived home from our trip last night. I highly recommend Lani!”
“Svetlana was amazing with our boys. She sent us updates everyday and was amazing with them. She did amazing administrating insulin to our dog Koda twice a day. Definitely going to book again!”
“Josie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home. The dogs were very happy and the house looked great. I would definitely have her back again. Thank you!”
“Grace was available last minute for pet sitting in my house, and was very accommodating for my open-ended return. She sent pictures and good updates daily. The house looked great when I returned and my dog was very relaxed - I could tell she had enjoyed her stay with Grace and that Grace had treated her very well. I can recommend Grace for your peace of mind while you are away.”
“Val sit my fur babies twice now and she is phenomenal! My animals were happy when I got home and she did everything I asked. She even went back to stay with my golden retriever Karma when my flight was canceled and I was stuck out of town an additional night. I will definitely be having Val stay with my fur babies again the next time I’m away.”
“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”
“Sierra stayed at our house to watch our dog. She took great care of him while we were away. Our home was just as we left it and our dog was fed and happy when we returned. Thank you!”
“Max was amazing! He gave us constant updates, didn’t leave our dogs for long periods of time which was our biggest request and he left our house spotless. He is professional, kind, and trustworthy. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dogs were in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Tijeras on Rover is $38.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 638 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tijeras. 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 Tijeras 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 Tijeras 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 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!
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.

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.
