“Mariah was amazing and my boys loved her. She updated us many times every day and also sent lots of photos. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”
“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”
“Brigit is conscientious, caring and diligent while caring for my two dogs. She dealt with the dogs pooping in a room and cleaned it up so thoroughly I could not even detect where the accident happened. She is very patient dealing with my one dog who barks at everyone including her. She sent pictures every day which is very reassuring that both dogs and Brigit were doing well.”

“Kristen is a very experienced and conscientious house and dog sitter. She provided feedings, photos and walks as requested and left everything in perfect order.”

About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.
“Patricia was wonderful with Layla. She walked her, played and talked to her and provided love with lots of belly rubs. Followed all feeding instructions and vitamin regimen. Thank you, would definitely ask her again to sit with my fur baby.”
About: I've been a pet caretaker for most of my 45 years, but I only put 25 in the years experience because those adult years of my life have been most dedicated to pet care. I am a serial adopter of rescue animals, so I'm well versed in pet conditions that need special care. I don't crate our animals and I love them all unconditionally. If you have a pet that needs special attention or even a modicum of training, I'd be happy to help you take care of them. I'm a military veteran and author working from home. I spend my entire day spoiling my pets (I have both cats and dogs, and they get along well enough). I walk the dogs daily, sometimes more than once. The dogs get brushed regularly and the cats get brushed if they make an appearance or we can catch them. As mentioned earlier, I do not crate our pets. I prefer to let them roam, but I occasionally do block off certain areas of the house to prevent naughty behavior. The pets are always rewarded for good behavior with snacks.
“Ck B. did a great job of house and pet sitting for me. My precious pup, Luna, warmed up to Ck very quickly. Ck is a consumate professional and I am very appreciative that she spent considerable time at my home, while I was out of town. I also appreciate Ck's due diligence to my pet's care and feeding, as well as her sending me photos of Luna to keep me informed. I will definitely request Ck for future house and pet sitting.”
“Christina is amazing! She was able to housesit for us at the last minute and did a fantastic job. The animals loved her so much the dogs didn't want her to leave. She was very attentive, caring and professional with our 2 dogs and 4 cats. Every day we were gone we got 10-20 photos of the animals relaxing with her, playing outside, or snoozing after an exciting day. We highly recommend Christina for care of your home and loved ones.”
“Courtney was fantastic and we would definitely use her again to watch our pups! She was responsive and kept in touch the whole time we were gone! Our pups were in good hands and would suggest using Courtney if you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter!”

Academy Ridge East pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cindi took marvelous care of Trixie, my 2 1/2 year-old cavalier! Trixie was very relaxed when I came home and I really appreciated all the great photographs and keeping in touch with me as I asked! I would definitely have Cindi care for my dogs going forward! The house was immaculate. Wholeheartedly recommend!
Stephanie is fantastic! She was responsive and prepared - even more than me! As a pet parent of not only a senior pet, but one receiving chemo treatments, I was nervous about leaving his care up to someone else, but Stephanie had me completely at ease! We started off with an out-of-home meet & greet at my apartment complex's dog park, and both dogs loved her. <3 We then went to tour the house and meet my cat. Stephanie was incredibly thoughtful, remembering to ask important questions about the pet's habits and care. She was also completely at ease giving medication, even joining in on our demo. During the stay, Stephanie sent me regular updates with photos, which I greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Stephanie enough for your pet's care. I will be using her again should I leave town where I can't bring my pets with me.
Jadyn was a fantastic house sitter for my two dogs. They were exercised, well fed, and cuddled. Jadyn was very communicative with me. Not only that, but my house was clean when I returned. I don’t think my dogs missed me that much which makes me feel less guilty about leaving them.
Ava did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat. She spent plenty of quality time with them while staying in our home, and even left the place cleaner than when she arrived. She is an excellent communicator and made sure to send us pictures and updates, which was a huge comfort while we were out of town. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Ava!
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!
This was our first time leaving our deaf elderly dog, Ellie, home while going on a family vacation. Sierra met with us twice before our trip to make sure that Ellie was comfortable, as well as easing my anxiety about leaving her behind. Sierra was wonderful with keeping us updated and was super sweet with Ellie. We extra appreciated Sierra for being so clean and respectful to our home! Thank you so much and we will definitely book with you again on our next trip!
