“First time leaving my dogs with anyone I was so nervous. They were so happy there. Bonni was great to send pictures, responds fast and worked with me on schedule changes. When I picked the dogs up they looked like they were already at home enjoying themselves. I highly recommend her and will book again. Thanks Bonni!”
“I can't say enough good things about my pup's stay with Pat! I picked him up healthy and happy and better socialized than before! I've had my 17lb nervous whippet for 4 months. I was a bit scared to leave him for the weekend... but this was the perfect fit. He got along great with Pat's 4 doggies, which I could tell through 2x/day text updates. She even let him sleep in her bed, which he loves to do! Thank you Pat! Bingo will be back soon to see you and your pups! And btw- Pat is a lovely person- gentle, knowledgeable, flexible and kind... exactly the person you'd want caring for your furry friend.”
“Fantastic experience with Josie and Paco feel like we left our dog with extended family. Luska will miss them terribly. Communication was great, the updates made us feel better about leaving our puppy. Thanks again, Josie”
“It is so nice to be able to be away from our boy and know that he is being well-taken care of. We are blessed to have Cecilia and Dan love and care for our boy. They are wonderful!!!”
“Jamie and Patrick were awesome. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. This was my dogs first stay away from us and they were understanding of that. Trustworthy, friendly and caring. I would definitely use them again.”
“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”
“Coco loves staying with Maellen and her family! I love that I receive photos and videos, but can stay worry free while I am away. Thank you for taking such good care of Coco.”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
About: Hello! I’m Marcella A and I’m currently going to cnm, majoring in veterinary medicine. My passion is to be a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. This volunteer work at my job shadow (on resume) has given me hands-on experience handling different animal breeds and understanding the deep emotional bond between pets and their owners. I observed a cat surgery, the importance of aftercare and recovery. I’ve studied a Certified Veterinary Technologies performing a venipuncture safely. Growing up I had a lot of animals ranging from snakes, gerbils, hamsters, birds to cats and dogs. In a sense it taught me a lot of responsibility at a young age. I’ve had years of experience understanding the right diet/nutrition, structured hygienic health, behavioral patterns/management and medication needed for fuzzy friends! Currently I have OPEN availability! No furry companion is too big or too small to provide dietary/nutritional feeding times, potty breaks, midday check-ins, local dog walks, structured hygiene, health tracking & emergency preparedness! I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care to beloved fuzzy friends from the moment they walk through the doors! I provide services to lovely pet owners to support in detailed instructions/expectations that I compile to! Includes but not limited to: fun playtime(indoor/outdoor) dietary, daily water intake, potty habits, long walks, & precise medication intakes!!
“Cindy is awesome! The added plus is Dasha! Both took care of our Gin so well! Gin had a blast! Cindy ensures everything is covered and communicates often with pictures and videos. We just wished we could take Dasha back home with us. Thank you Cindy for taking such good care of our Gin!”
“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”
About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
“Thomas and Matthew were excellent. They took such good care of my boy. They also sent me pictures while I was out of town and kept me updated. I had peace of mind the whole time.”
“Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!”
“Doug did a great job taking care of my German Shepherd's. I have never used this app before and he eased my mind by sending me updates and pictures. The dogs came back home, healthy, and happy.”
“I’m so glad I found Courtnay! I’m new to ABQ and was worried about leaving my anxious pup behind, but Courtnay immediately made me feel like my girl was in fantastic hands. She sent tons of pictures and videos, was very communicative, flexible, and gracious. I’m so grateful and will definitely be booking again.”
“Celine was wonderful with our dog. She kept us updated on her stay as well as pictures every day. She’s really great with older dogs and let us know that our dogs interesting quarks follow her to her sitters. We rate Celine as a five star because of her flexibility as well as willingness to work with our dogs schedule. We will be rebooking with Celine for future stays!”

Aijah is such an amazing pet sitter! I took an international trip for the first time since I got my dog and I ended up stuck a day longer than I was planning. She sent me pictures and was really flexible about pickup. When I picked my puppy up I could tell she had an amazing time and after such a chaotic trip, it was so nice to know that she was taken care of
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.

FAQs for Boarding - Albuquerque
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Albuquerque on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 321 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Albuquerque sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Albuquerque landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Albuquerque home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
