“Cienna was great with our two dogs, one of which takes a while to warm up to strangers. She communicated daily and left the house and yard in perfect order. We’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Lainie was amazing! She provided updates and handled our high energy pup very well. She provided lots of cuddles and exercise. She also was helpful in a pinch when our arrival time back home changed and we need one last check-in. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Jasmine took care of our girl again for the third time thus far and we are still exceptionally pleased with her true concern for our girls welfare. Traveling is much more enjoyable knowing Rhea is in great hands.”
“Janet was such a gift to us and our pup. She was extremely tentative to her needs. She paid close attention and took thoughtful, mindful care of our girl. We could not recommend her any more highly. We will certainly be reaching out to Janet in the future!”
“Oh my word! In two days I came home to a different dog! (Not literally) We left our basset with high separation anxiety in her care and came home to a dog that didn’t freak out or jump up on us! It’s obvious that she loves animals and understands their needs. We could not be more grateful!”
“Posie loved Jaylene! Jaylene did a great job caring for Posie this last week. She stayed in our home while we were gone. Everything was clean and neat when we got home and Posie was great! Jaylene sent us updates and photos throughout the week and that really helped relieve my anxiety! We plan to ask Jaylene to stay with Posie for our next vacation!”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such great care of my Belgian Malinois, Ellie, she took the extra mile to make sure Ellie was safe during their walk. She was incredibly patient, understanding, and followed all of Ellie's routines, making me feel completely at ease while I was away. She was also so understanding of our travel situation and incredibly flexible, which meant so much during a stressful time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such caring and capable hands. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for loving Ellie like she was your own!”
About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.
About: I've had the pleasure of caring for some sweet amazing pets over the years. Having 2 dogs myself : a Chihuahua and a husky: I'm able to care for various breeds and sizes. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing companionship to animals in their own homes. I've also had the opportunity to work with different breeds and temperaments, allowing me to adapt my caregiving techniques to each individual pet's needs. I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for my clients' furry friends, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for in their absence. Feeding, walking, and cuddling are all part of my daily routine, and my dogs would probably tell you I’m their personal superhero. I bring that dedication and joy to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When caring for pets in someone else's home, I prioritize their comfort and security. I follow their specific routines, ensuring consistent feeding times, administering medications as prescribed, and providing regular exercise. I treat their home with respect, cleaning up after the pets and maintaining a tidy environment. I also keep a detailed record of their behavior, any special needs, and any incidents that may occur. By providing attentive and responsible care, I aim to alleviate any worries the pet owners may have while they're away.
About: Dogs are my best friends. Rover is a blessing in the fact I can do what I love and love to do and that is care and talk to dogs. My home and time are available 24 hours a day. For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
About: I’ve always loved animals and have a lot of hands on experience. I’ve helped family and friends with pet sitting over the years and have experience with potty training, crate training, and teaching basic tricks. I’m patient, dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away:) Caring for pets fits easily into my weekly routine. I currently have a flexible summer schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, check-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week. I make sure to only accept bookings that I can fully commit to so that each pet gets reliable care and plenty of attention. I understand that pets are family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I feel the same way about my own dogs, so I always treat the pets I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection that I would want for my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I also make sure they get plenty of companionship and attention so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is not only to meet their basic needs, but to help them feel safe, cared for, and loved until their family comes home.
“Janice is awesome. Roxy bonded with her immediately. Janice was prompt, attentive, and kept us updated with messages, photos and videos. Our girl was comfy and relaxed in her own environment thanks to Janice. We will definitely check with her for future sitting!”
About: I have had animals since I was a child, and I have worked in a veterinary assistant position for almost 4 years, so whatever attention your older or younger animals need, I can also provide. I am a full-time college student, so my schedule will vary between semesters, and between weeks. However, I am more than willing to verify my schedule with you if there are any questions. I live in a small apartment with my cat and reptiles, so having other animals here is not worth it in my opinion. So I have no problems with going over.
About: I have three years of pet care experience, mainly exercise and rehabilitation. My goal is to provide your pet with excellent care and service, leaving them happy and stress free. Your pet will be treated like family not just a client while in my care. I am currently attending school at New Mexico State University during the morning, so I will have plenty of time to care for your baby. I take safety very seriously when it comes to pets. I don't like to leave animal unattended so I'm always nearby. I follow routines provided and send timely updates so you can enjoy your time away from home.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own puppy, Draco, as well as my cousin’s and brother’s dogs whenever they need someone to help.

From feeding, walking, and playtime to making sure they feel comfortable and safe, I always make it a priority to give each pet the love and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Tortugas
Rachel was terrific taking care of my pooch, George. When I introduced them to each other I could tell Rachel was comfortable around dogs and George sensed this right away. Rachel is dependable, reliable and followed all care instructions perfectly. I had to make several schedule changes while I was away due to flight cancellations, and Rachel was flexible and went with the flow. I felt assured that she was dedicated to being helpful. I am grateful to know Rachel and I will definitely use her services if I have to travel again. I highly recommend Rachel.
There are too many AMAZING things we can say about Alex!! She’s so patient and thoughtful with all our fur kiddos, she’s responsive and kind to our routines/requests, and the house always looks great when we get back! She emptied trashes and vacuumed - totally unasked! We appreciate Alex for all she does to help make being away from the kids less stressful 💜
Isabella is always caring and loving with our dogs. She did great with an added member to our pack. She also is communicative when things come up. She let me know when family memebers stopped by to visit the dogs. She is great with sitting and drop-in bookings. We recommend her as a pet sitter.

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 Tortugas 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 Tortugas 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 Tortugas 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!

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.
