About: What makes me a great fit as your sitter is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and hands‑on experience with different breeds and personalities. I have three dogs of my own—a husky, a shih tzu, and a 9‑month‑old German shepherd rescue—so I truly understand the care, patience, and attention our furbabies need and deserve. I recently moved back to New Mexico to be closer to family, and as someone born and raised in Valencia County, I care deeply about this community and the pets that are part of it. Working with local dogs and cats is something that helps me grow, and I value the bond that comes from being part of their routine. Communication is one of my strongest skills. I believe pet care works best when we operate as a team, making sure everything is clear, comfortable, and aligned with what’s best for your pets. I’m also able to care for birds, and I’d love to set up a recurring weekly schedule so I can become a consistent, trusted presence in your pet’s life. I do not offer reptile or fish sitting. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I treat mine. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I work a professional full‑time job, typically from about 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. My role is hybrid, so some days I’m in the office and other days I’m remote. When we plan a schedule, I’ll always be transparent about my work commitments so we can make sure everything aligns comfortably for both of us. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available for mornings and evenings. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide Drop‑Ins or Walks up to three times a day. Holidays are open as well — let’s talk through them. I’m not a big traveler, so I’m usually here in Valencia County and happy to help families who need reliable holiday coverage. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. For Drop‑In and Walking services, I make sure your pet’s essential needs are fully taken care of — feeding, fresh water, restroom breaks, and any comfort or routine they’re used to. I also prioritize safety: I’m Certified in CPR for Cats and Dogs, which means I’m trained to respond quickly and correctly in emergency situation. If your pet has specific requirements or special instructions, I’m always happy to accommodate. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and consistent with the care they’re used to at home. I’m reliable, clean, and respectful, and I bring the same level of care whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and supported while you’re away.

“Shyann R Took care of my eight month old golden retriever Luna. She could be a handful at times, but she was great with her fed her at the same time every day. She also played with her to runoff some of the built-up energy, sent me pictures and videos every day. I will definitely be using her again in the future when I need a sitter.”

About: I have grown up with big dogs since I was little as well as 2 cats! I’ve been with huskies and pomskies as well as labradors and shepherd dogs! I can take care of high energy and low energy dogs! I love cats as well! I know their temperament and how to approach them! My friends have had pit bulls which I do not discriminate against! I have helped with raising puppies and taking care of sick dogs, I promise to treat your pet with the utmost respect and care as if they were my own child! I am working part time at Starbucks and I work on Wednesday’s Thursday's and Sunday's, other than that I have morning classing Monday-Friday and I am good! I do online school so my schedule is very flexible for leaving in the mornings, and sometimes afternoons! At my home we have a big back yard and it is fenced in, we let our animals inside the house as well as outside, I don’t do pet care in my home because we have 4 big dogs and two cats and that would just be stressful on our dogs and cats as well as the dogs or cats I’m taking care of!

“Tessa was a good pet sitter to our two cats. We have one cat who is nervous, especially when we leave (she pulls out her fur). During the time Tessa watched our nervous cat, she didn't display any of her usual anxiety - so we were super grateful for the attention Tessa gave her.”

About: My name is Celaya, and I have a strong passion for animals, especially dogs. I have over four years of experience in the pet care industry, working with a wide variety of dog breeds and sizes. My background includes feeding and administering medication when needed, as well as providing regular walks and exercise. I am skilled in reading dog behavior and body language, allowing me to ensure each dog's safety, comfort, and well-being. I take pride in delivering reliable, compassionate care and building trust with both pets and their owners. I recently moved back to New Mexico and am currently looking for work, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and the care they need. I’m comfortable making pet care a consistent part of my week and treating each pet like my own. When caring for pets in my home or at the client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving any medications if needed, taking them on regular walks, and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I always watch for signs of stress or discomfort and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a quick visit or overnight stay, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I am a Travel Anesthesia Tech who has a super flexible schedule and can adjust to whatever works best for you! I’m currently in between contracts but I keep my schedule up to date. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, two eight year old Yorkie Terrier brothers, and a year old Tortie. I have also worked with showing dogs as an American Kennel Club Junior handler, working with Mastiff’s, Akitas, and Schnauzers. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life, and love all animals. I am bilingual; I speak Spanish as well as English. I have also spent some time abroad in Ireland, where I volunteered at a dog shelter there, helping to look after all different breeds of dogs. I look forward to interacting with so many animals in the future. I am currently only working part time throughout the week, which allows lots of flexibility for any bookings! I don’t have specific work hours preset, so I can adjust my schedule to yours :) I am a big believer in animal body language and boundaries, and making sure animals are comfortable and happy through my time caring for them.

About: Hello, my name is Leevi. Since I was young, I have always been the one taking care of the family pets. I love all animals, and taking care of them. I have leashed and behaviorally trained multiple dogs for friends and family, as well as served as the designated animal watcher for both cats and dogs for friends and family. I have also raised multiple jumping spiders and lizards. I care about the needs of all animals; seeing them happy makes me happy. I work full-time from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Despite my evening work schedule, I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy staying productive throughout the day. As soon as I wake up, I am usually on the move, whether I am exercising, running errands, handling personal responsibilities, or spending time outdoors. I value making the most of my mornings and early afternoons before beginning my shift. I will care for your fur baby with the same patience, attention, and affection I have always given my own pets—as a valued member of the family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I have hands-on experience training and caring for several of my family’s dogs. My experience includes leash training, reinforcing positive behaviors, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular walks and playtime. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and adapting to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and daily routine. I am also attentive to the ways dogs communicate their needs. Whether a dog is feeling stressed, hungry, excited, tired, overheated, or simply in need of reassurance, I recognize the importance of observing their body language and behavior closely. I prioritize safe walks, hydration, a calm environment, and plenty of positive interaction to ensure each dog receives the care and attention they deserve.

About: I have owned and been around dogs my entire life. I just recently adopted a puppy who is now 5 months old, and I am very confident in my abilities to take care of any dog and show them love and support I believe every animal needs. I am currently working a part time job so I have plenty of free time to provide care the pups we all love. I usually work up until 3 pm and my days off vary sometimes but I am also able to make any adjustments necessary. I have just moved into my own house that has a huge backyard for playtime. I also live near a trail that I usually take my dog for walks on, that is in a good neighborhood with a nearby park. My pup is very friendly with other animals and would love the extra company.

About: From fostering a Great Dane and her seven puppies to caring for my own aging dog sick with cancer, I can care for animals at any stage. I’m newish on Rover, but I have been traveling and pet sitting all over the country, so my reviews are on Trusted House Sitter for reference. I look forward to chatting! I work during the week and remotely at times, so I have flexibility to accommodate any schedule. I have a car and can transport wherever. It’s just me and my dog in my apartment, but we have a first floor with a small yard out front that Kesey likes to sunbathe in. All the neighbors stop and say hello.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Valencia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
