About: I’ve had been taking care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I’ve have multiple dogs at once (4: pitbull, Labrador, 2 Schnauzers) I’ve also been taking care of cats for more than 15 years We're definitely homebodies, so pet care fits perfectly into our daily routine! We love spending our time relaxing at home, which means your furry friends will have plenty of company, attention, and cuddles throughout the day. When house-sitting, we even bring our own Wi-Fi box and gaming console/PC setup, if allowed, so we can enjoy our hobbies while keeping your pets company. We're perfectly happy spending the day at home with your pets, making sure they're comfortable, entertained, and never short on love! I have a fenced in yard, along with a dog and cat who are friendly with other dogs and cats! I however will not be providing boarding at my house

“There’s no better compliment than a repeat customer. Josephine is phenomenal! She’s the most thorough, compassionate, and loving sitter my cats have ever had. When she walks through my door my cats run right up to her. It provides me a lot of comfort when I’m away knowing that Josephine is caring for my fur babies. I will absolutely be using her services in the future when she’s available.”

About: Woof! Meow! Hello, my name is Al and I hope to soon meet you and your pet. My background in animal care began in high school when I was a dog sitter for local families during the summer while they were on vacation, and from there my passion grew! I am personable and calm, equipped to support each animal's unique needs, and thorough in my care and attentiveness. I am a proud parent to two cats and a senior rabbit at this time, and until I can bring a dog into the bunch I like to spend my time looking after yours with the same love and dedication. No matter how small or large, shy or outspoken, all pets welcome! This fall, I have very open availability while I acclimate to the surrounding area after a cross country move. I am aspiring to be open for requests in many different neighborhoods and different types of animals to get to better know the landscape. I am a non-smoker. I am respectful of house rules and ways of doing things and will defer to your instruction, while also leaning on my expertise in times where flexibility is needed. Adept to behavioral quirks, I take supporting your training protocols seriously and will always ask at first meetings what your animal is receptive to and how to respond when changes in their routine emerge. Especially experienced with separation anxiety, I am diligent in ensuring as I build trust with you I am also building trust with your pet and communicating with you throughout the sit.

About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!

About: I’ve had my own animals and helped care for family and friend’s animals since I was young. (30+ years!) I am a runner/walker for more active animals but also love snuggles or calm indoor play. I’m comfortable with all ages of cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and more! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule and prioritize getting outside daily, so I’d be happy to bring your dog along for my walks or make time for indoor play as well! I like to send photos and updates to pet parents to let you know your fur babies are being well-loved. I have a reliable vehicle for bringing them to a park or larger space if needed.

About: Dogs have a very special place in my life and there’s nothing I love more than spending time with them. I worked for a couple months at a dog and cat boarding facility, I loved it and wish I was able to fit it into my schedule. I’ve owned all kinds of animals my whole life and currently have a senior dog, a cat, and 2 rabbits! I’m 18 and a high school senior, I have school from 8-2:20 on weekdays. I can house sit overnight and leave at 7:30-40 and be back before 3. On the weekends I can stay at your home all day or stop by every couple hours. I can provide outside time, walks, potty breaks, and crate time if needed. I’m comfortable feeding wet, raw, and dry food for both cats and dogs. I’m also comfortable with administering medications as long as the pet isn’t reactive.

About: Cats love me, and I love them. Tried and true, I have been taking care of kittens since I can remember myself. I can provide care to multi-cat households, elderly cats, momma cats with newborn kittens, or motherless newborn kittens as well. Medication administration by mouth is not a problem, can also do skin medication application if necessary and have experience with wound care. Cats are my niche, but I've been lucky enough to also have dogs in my life who very much enjoyed my care and their time with me while their families were on vacation. As long as the dogs get along between themselves, I can offer pet-sitting for households of up to two dogs. My housekeeping experience ensures that you will always come back to a clean and cared-for space, finding everything neat and tidy--unless pets get unforeseen zoomies! I work with your schedule, your pets' needs, and follow how you run their care and your household to provide the best care possible. Overnight stays at your home ensure your pets' routine is not interrupted more than necessary. Drop-in visits offer you and your pet peace of mind and regularity. Updates with check-ins and pictures are always provided daily, or twice daily if you would prefer. Anything that works for you and your pets works for me! I currently work as a freelancer, so I can adapt my schedule to meet your pets' needs. I also mostly work online, which means your pet can have my undivided attention if they so choose, or just my presence as company. When I am taking care of your pet, rest assured that their walk/potty/meal schedule will be the priority. I ensure that your pets' schedule is as undisturbed as possible while I'm taking care of them, and that their routine remains the same. This makes for both happy pets and happy pet parents! The more information I have about how you take care of your pet, the more closely I can resemble it for them while you're away. I provide daily check-ins with pictures of your pets, their space, and their happy tails. When offering pet-sitting services in your home, I will follow the given instructions to a T, and make sure that your pets' schedule and routine is as close to everyday life with you as possible. It's important to maintain consistency in a pet household, and my goal is to make that happen while pet parents are away. Daily check-ins with pictures are a must, and I may ask way more questions about your pets' care than seem necessary-- it's important to be fully prepared and provide the best care possible. I have lots of housekeeping experience as well, so rest assured that you will return to a clean and tidy home and that I will keep an eye on all home-related subjects while you are away. I understand first-hand the need to have as less stress as possible while you are away from home and from your pets, and with clear communication I want every member of the fur household to feel that they are being taken care of.

About: NEW CLIENTS GET FREE PET PORTRAIT! My approach is centered around you! With every consult, I write my own notes as reference to study before and during my time with your pet. I am a part time artist so I am happy to be a homebody with your furry friend. I also do longer weekend hikes so I am happy to go on a three mile walk with your energetic pal! I am familiar with dog behaviors (whale eye, disengaging during unwanted actions, utilizing a muzzle if necessary at owners request) . I have clicker trained my kitty as well! I am currently working part time working on my children's graphic novel pitch so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your fur baby! I have availability from 9am-10pm. On hotter days I prefer to walk your pups before noon or after 5pm evening so they don't overheat. I would love to meet your pet first before we work together! That way you can let me know of any health or behavioral concerns and your furry friend isn't scared when a stranger shows up! With every consult I like to take my own notes to ensure that I am fully prepared before I see your pet again! I let your pet dictate our interactions. (Holding out my hand for them to sniff, giving space if your kitty has, "airplane ears" or if your dog has a, "whale eye,"). I am also experienced in redirection, if your dog is barking I'll get the tennis ball going.

“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for a long time. I’m no stranger to cats’ individual personalities and quirks when it comes to mealtimes or playtime. I will make sure litter boxes are fresh and will do Accident Patrol through the house and make sure everything is in order and comfortable for them. Looking forward to meeting them! *NE Heights and NobHill/ UNM preferred** I work at a brewery so I am available mornings, afternoons or even late at night if that’s what you need! Lunchtime weekday visits are possible depending on the day- it varies but I’m sure we can work out a good schedule! I care for pets in my home as they are my dependents. Each of my three have different needs and preferences. I empty the litter boxes in my home twice a day and change out pee pads for my elderly cat. I also take her to the vet weekly for her kidney disease treatment. She also has a special diet for this. My others are picky eaters and my boy void has to be monitored during meals or he’ll eat everyone’s food. I do their usual care- trim their nails and keep them clean and brushed and make sure they have comfortable spaces to rest or play. I’ll treat your cats and home with the same care I give mine.

Raynolds, Albuquerque, NM, 87102

About: From birth I have been surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, and many creatures in between. My dad trained dogs and horses (no such thing as cat training…. If you know, you know) and taught me all he knows. I have fostered and trained puppies and currently have 2 cats of my own who are great with dogs. I am a travel nurse and don’t think the long shifts would be fair to have a dog of my own, otherwise I would! I had to remove all of my bengal’s teeth after an emergency and had to fight a newly adopted bengal to give him his antibiotics and pain meds in forms of pills and drops. I have lived through many animals’s passing from old age so am well versed in senior cares as well. Through my career and life experiences no emergency is too big for me. Your pets activity level will become mine- young or old hearted I am here to hang! I got cats so I could go away for weekends and still hire folks on Rover to come give them love on trips they can’t come cause I feel too bad otherwise. Pets are our babies and alike to humans all have their own personalities. I am super excited to get to know yours and thank you for trusting me with your family members :) I work 12 hour night shifts from 7pm-7am 3 days a week, but my partner works from home so there is always someone to give them love. Off days are spent in the mountains on trails or relaxing around the house. I have a large backyard and 2 cats who are missing a dog to play with or rooms they can safely relax in if your furry friend is not other-pet friendly. I come home to go on a walk and wake up in time to drink some coffee and enjoy some hours before work. I have a high fenced yard. I like to keep the routine the same as their normal, so will rely on your directions on when to feed, exercise, and wind down if there are any specifics. Multiple walks a day during the cooler hours is my favorite way to exercise, and if your pup is social enjoy a good social outing to the local dog park. I like to fish up in the mountains so picnics and splashes in some mountain water is always a dog approved activity in my experience

Stella was great. My cat is a bit set in her ways at 18 years old and isnt keen on new people. But Stella was patient and kind and made quick friends her and was so glad that my cat wasnt lonely while I was on vacation! She sent me thoughtful updates each visit (twice a day) along with pictures that were adorable. I really appreciated Stella and would definitely recommend her. I hope to use her again in the future.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Albuquerque

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Albuquerque is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Albuquerque. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Albuquerque. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 90% can help with daily exercise

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
