“I was so glad to have had Melissa and her sweet family watch Olivia. She was so reassuring and made me feel like I didn't have anything to worry about, and I didn't at all. Daily updates and pictures of my pup. When we met she answered any of my questions and gave me great info on just what Olivia would be doing, where she'd be sleeping, etc. It was so great to be able to leave Olivia with a family instead of a kennel. So friendly and reliable, I'll definitely be going back.”
“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“Josie, Peter & Paco treated my pup so well while I was out of town! They were super flexible and made my dog feel right at home- I’ve really never seen him so comfortable in someone else’s space! I got plenty of updates and my dog is tuckered out from all of his playtime. Definitely will be booking with them again next time we are out of town, so glad to have found them through Rover.”
“Savannah was amazing! Extremely communicative radically from the Dan. Super thankful she was able to take care of Joey while on vacation! Would highly recommend and would absolutely go to again!”
“Jessa and Kevin took care of Milly for 11 days and I’m pretty sure Milly felt like she was on the vacation of her dreams. I got updates of her and how she’s doing everyday and Milly was well taken care of! Both Jessa and Kevin really treated Milly like she was their own and I was able to be on my trip worry-free. I will be booking with them again!”
“Sabrina was amazing!! My dog absolutely loved her and staying at her home. Sabrina provided a lot of pictures and videos and did a great job with administering my dog’s daily medication! I definitely recommend Sabrina if you are looking for a sitter!”
“Kristle watched our Bullmastiff puppy (8.5mo) for a few days for us while we went in a trip. She was amazing with him, and he had a blast!! Highly recommend her — we’d love to have our boy stay with her again one day.”
About: Experienced caring for dogs, hamsters, snakes, and rabbits. I provide personalized, loving and dependable care and treat every pet like they’re part of my family. I have experience caring for dogs, hamsters, rabbits, and snakes, and I’m comfortable with each pet’s unique needs and routines. As I build my real estate business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning habitats, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. What makes me different is that I don’t treat pet care like just a job—I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their unique personality. I have experience caring for dogs, hamsters, snakes, rabbits, and other pets, so I’m comfortable with more than just the typical dog or cat. I’m also building my own real estate business, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to spend quality time with the pets in my care. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routines, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have officially being taking care of animals here in rover for about 2 years now. It’s definitely a passion of mine to properly take care of other animals and watch over them! Of course I have experience taking care of animals beyond my 2 years here on rover such as taking care of family members pet and also my own pets for my whole life! I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! (I also take pride in taking care of any fish, reptiles, or chickens!) I work a temporary traveling job, which means whatever my available states I’ll be home full time to provide your animals with 24/7 care and supervision! I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels and lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights. I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being and behavior. I also have a good eye in knowing if a dog is friendly or not with others so you can trust me with your pet being around others! I perform all these duties everyday with all animals I take care of like their my own because I wouldn’t want their care to be in the wrong hands!
“Pepper had a great time with Laura's family and their pup crew! She was so well cared for, got to take hikes and got all kinds of fun doggy play time. I loved all of the pictures and videos to ease my mind while I was away. I'm grateful to have found a sitter in the area we can count on :)”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“My dog was super anxious and Crystal was so accommodating and helpful while I was away. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I’m incredibly grateful!”
“Brandi was wonderful taking care of our fur babies. Sent pictures often, and if I asked a question, she responded immediately. Do not hesitate using Brandi to take care of your doggies!!”
“Quinley has been taken care of by Shell twice now. Shell takes very good care of her and I know I don’t have to worry while I’m gone. I love that Quinley gets to play with other dogs and they have indoor/outdoor access. Quinley was super excited to go and happy when I picked her up. I will definitely keep using Shell.”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Buttons enjoyed her stay at Debbi’s home. I got to see lots of pictures. Her two labs were very friendly to my dog. Her home and backyard are awesome for cats”
“Emily is totally awesome! I had a bit of apprehension as my dog is a 2 yr. Malinois and requires a LOT of activity but after a ‘meet & greet’ and a short trial run she went above & beyond my expectations! She has a GSD the same age , Jasper, which helps a lot also. Her yard is immaculate also which was a plus. In the future I will always use Emily! I feel fortunate to have found her! I even arrived really late from the airport due to issues with United Airlines and she was very gracious!”

Jack had a great time! They sent plenty of pictures daily which made me feel good that he was being taken care of by great people!!! I got daily updates throughout Jack’s stay! Nothing makes a dog dad more happy than knowing he is in great hands!!! Jack will definitely be staying with them again!!! Thanks Bryant and Rhiannon!!!!
Would book again! Megan was a gem! I She took care of my two chi-poos for 3 nights. She’s friendly, respectful, and caring. When I dropped off my two girls, her kiddos and senior dog eagerly greeted my pack. Her dog is calm and tolerant to my more vocal chihuahua - which is always a must when I am looking for a boarder! Megan was attention to the particular needs of each of my dogs. She administered eye drops with no issues. Her kiddos entertained my girls with fetch, cuddles, and attention per the photos I received! She was accommodating, communicative, and responsive the whole weekend! Overall, I feel confident in recommending her to anyone looking for a loving and safe place to leave their fur babies!
Kristle and her family are great. Zoey had never spent the night at someone else’s house before. She came home happy and not hyper like she does from the kennel. Kristie sent pictures and updates. That really helped us relax and enjoy our time away. We will definitely leave Zoey with Kristle and her family again! They are all so nice!
It was Rudy’s first time staying overnight away from home, especially with so many other dogs, so I was a little nervous. But Melissa took such good care of him and made the experience a positive one! I really appreciate the care and attention she gave Rudy. Thank you so much, Melissa! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! ❤️🐾
Jessa and Kevin took care of Milly for 11 days and I’m pretty sure Milly felt like she was on the vacation of her dreams. I got updates of her and how she’s doing everyday and Milly was well taken care of! Both Jessa and Kevin really treated Milly like she was their own and I was able to be on my trip worry-free. I will be booking with them again!
Montague stayed with Crystal for a whole week. He seems to have really enjoyed it. He is about the same size and temperament as Crystal's dog, so that made his stay there doubly enjoyable. Tanner is the most friendly dog and welcomed Montague with wagging tail. Crystal sent me photos most of the days and a video of the two playing together. That was so nice! She is very responsive and got back immediately whenever I checked in.
Ben did a fantastic job with our pups! One of our pups is used to boarding, however this was the first time ever boarding our almost three-year-old Belgian Malinois who is a bit on the nervous side. On the meet and greet, Ben was fully confident and knowledgeable towards how to best introduce himself to our pups and we were delightfully surprised that our Belgian pup was comfortable (and even begging for more attention) within a few minutes of meeting him. During that meet and the drop off the next day, Ben was kind and patient enough to explain his dog care process, as well as answer all of our questions. He was fully communicative and responsive to us throughout their stay with him, even including daily photos of how our pups were doing. We are very thankful to him on such a pleasant stay for our pups and recommend him for all of your pup care needs!
Patrice was great with our baby. This was only our 2nd time leaving our pup and so we were still a little nervous, but Patrice handled everything so well. Our dog has some specific needs and requirements that can make watching her tricky, but Patrice did what she needed to! She sent many pictures and communicated with us throughout the day and responded right away to our many (probably overboard) of messages 😅. Thank you, Patrice! Will definitely be booking with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Albuquerque is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 328 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Albuquerque. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Albuquerque can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Albuquerque home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Albuquerque.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Albuquerque sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NM ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
