About: I've been taking care of dogs since a young age. I love all kinds of animals. I own 6 dogs, a cat, and a ferret. I have experience with feeding them, walking them, and bathing them. I'm currently working full time at a hair salon, T-F 10-6, Saturdays 9-5, and Sundays 10am-2pm. I am available any day/time after. I am also available Mondays after 12pm. I have a fenced yard, and all of my pets are very friendly. I can easily crate your pet if needed either inside or outside as you request.
“Nayeli jumped in while I was out of town and had a horrible sitter who was leaving my dog alone and not walking him. She went above and beyond dealing with the issues the prior sitter had left, including dealing with police and a broken window all while I was out of state. She did amazing with my pup who had just been traumatized by the prior sitter. Can’t thank her enough for being available last minute to hop in when I was across the country and the love she showed my pup!”
“Gizelle was amazing help and very communicative throughout her entire care of my babies. My children can be very picky and special but she took the time to get to know them and she was very attentive to their needs. From a last minute booking she definitely took on my request with no hesitation and she was very kind and respectful. I would love to have her care for my babies again. Thank you!”
About: Don't worry, while you are away your cat or dog will receive lots of snuggles and belly rubs and all the playtime and walks he/she could ever want. I enjoy all types of dogs and cats both big and small. I am a very active person and have no problem going on long walks or runs for pets needing extra exercise.I have a pickup, so I can take dogs on hikes or to the lake for added fun.I cannot wait to meet your best friend. HOUSE/PET SITTING, DROP BY VISITS, AND DOG WALKING ARE AVAILABLE. I am currently working at the school district. I would be able to come in and check on your animals in the morning before work, around lunch time, in the later afternoon, evenings, and at night. I also have most weekends and holidays off for anyone needing weekend/holiday animal care. I have 2 months off in the summer to house sit or visit your pets multiple times a day. I do have my own dog and will need to spend time at my own house to take care of him as well. But don’t worry, I won’t forget about your fur baby. I love going on walks with my own dog and spending as much time outside as possible. I would be more than willing to spend several hours taking your pet for walks, playing, shopping (for treats of course) and maybe just spending some time with them while you are away.
“Nita is amazing! I have three high energy Springer Spaniels - she kept me updated and totally took care of and went above and beyond to provide the best care for my fur babies! I will be asking her back! Thank you Nita!”
“Sophia came right on time! She brought her dog along the stay because I have told her it was fine and it makes it easier on my dogs when it comes to other humans! Moo and my dogs got along so well, he apparently didn’t want to go. ? I’m glad I found my dogs a new friend and a trustworthy dog sitter! Would totally book her again.”
About: I provide thoughtful, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or somewhere in between. I take the time to build trust at your pet’s pace, keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Beyond the basics, I focus on the little details—clean spaces, fresh food and water, engaging playtime, and plenty of affection (when they want it). I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to pet care. Being available throughout the day means I can accommodate feeding times, play sessions, and any special needs, ensuring pets receive reliable and attentive care. My home environment is safe, clean, and well-suited for pets, providing a calm and comfortable space where animals can feel secure. I maintain a tidy, hazard-free area by keeping toxic substances, small objects, and other potential dangers out of reach. The space is regularly cleaned and properly ventilated, ensuring good hygiene for both pets and their surroundings. I also create a quiet, low-stress atmosphere that allows pets to relax, while still offering space for play and movement. Overall, my environment is designed to prioritize pet safety, comfort, and trust at all times.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. I have had a variety of dog breeds growing up and I am skilled in taking care of every breed for whatever they require. I worked at Walk This Way Dogs in Tacoma, WA for 2 years walking dogs, dog sitting, learning different routines, and loving every single one of them as my own. I have 3 pitbulls. My oldest is Kiara, my middle child is Bubba, and my youngest is Sarabi. They are my amazing children. I strive to care for your fur baby as my own. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check in/ take care of your fur babies as much as needed. I am unable to keep other dogs in my home due to my oldest dog having reactivity, but I am more than happy to care for your dog in the comfort of your own home.
About: I have owned dogs and horses my entire life. My family owns a cattle ranch so big and small animals are part of my life and I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals.

My schedule typically ranges M-F 8a-4p and can work around that for you. I have a pet friendly condo community that has controlled gated access with plenty of pet-friendly areas. For in-house services I will come to you and assist with all of your needs.
“Michelle was a perfect fit for our needs. She had very good communication with us and kept us abreast also with photos of our dog. She also took great care of our two cats. Our dog Riley liked Michelle the instant she saw her. Michelle is very tidy and neat. She even took out the trash for us. We highly recommend her and will use her again in the near future.”

“Leah was very friendly and professional. She did an excellent job. She was very flexible and was great at letting me know how my pets were doing. She put my mind at ease and I had a worry free vacation. ”
“She was wonderful!!! Very personable with my lab, Panini! I could tell Panini liked her at the meet and greet. She took great care of her and was great with communication. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for 20 years and have owned dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. Since I was young I was always the primary caregiver for my pets. I would bathe, clean, groom, feed, and clean up after my pets. I’d make sure their areas were clean and safe, they had their water bowls filled and that they were fed good food. I’d walk them, run with them, play with them and make sure they were safe and sound. I am currently available every morning from 7:00 am until midday to walk your pets. I am available in the afternoons for boarding and other services. I have a safe home with room for small/medium dogs and cats. I have no fenced yard at the moment but I have a large dog run to allow dogs to go out for a restroom break/fresh air and they are allowed to be inside my home in the living room areas. I have kennels in the home that are routinely cleaned where they can rest at night.
“Kristen did an amazing job cat-sitting my two cats! From the moment we met, she was friendly, responsible, and clearly a genuine animal lover. She took great care of my cats, keeping me updated with photos and messages so I knew they were happy and relaxed. When I got home, everything was spotless, and my cats were calm and content — a sure sign they were well cared for. I’d absolutely recommend Kristen to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time I’m away!”

About: I’ve been taking care of mostly dogs and cats of any breed. I love animals in general and I am willing to work with you to ensure your happiness with my service. I will be currently working part time, but there will be 3 to 4 day weekends that I will update on my calendar that I could be willing to work multiple days/nights Back home in Florida, we have a fenced area that we let my cat and two dogs roam around all the time but when inside they usually roam free and have their own room to relax and sleep.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tornillo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 142 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tornillo. 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 Tornillo 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 Tornillo 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 Tornillo 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
