“Kristle and her family were so amazing to our little puppy!! Thank you so much!!! Awesome and we know Bentley will be comfortable and excited to come back and stay with you!!”
“Blue loves spending time at Melissa’s. Knowing Blue is being well taken care of and having fun while we’re out of town is such a relief. Thank you, Melissa.”
“Buddy and I were very comfortable with Josh, his communication, his expertise and his friendly demeanor were excellent. I liked that Josh has a large backyard where the dogs can roam around. Buddy enjoyed running around with Blitzen and the other dogs although they were bigger than him, lol! I will not hesitate to utilize Josh's dog sitting services again and when he is available.”
“Patricia is lovely. My dogs were well taken care of, and enjoyed being able to play with Patricia's little dog, Sophie, and another (small dog) client of Patricia's. I received pictures each morning of my travels, and Patricia communicated with me. Her home and yard are well kept, and provide a comfortable and safe environment for the pets. Having Patricia as my dogs' sitter took so much stress and anxiety of my shoulders while traveling. I definitely plan to use Patricia's sitter services when i travel in the future!”
“They did a great job watching our dog when we were out of town for a week. They were quick and easy to get in contact with and kept us updated on our dog while we were gone. Would definitely consider using them again”
“Lionel and Jingjing were great. They're very responsive, and agreed to a meetup ahead of the booking. They sent me pictures of my dog showing she was happy and comfortable. And my dog seemed very happy when I picked her up. Will book again!”
“Marissa did a wonderful job taking care of my German Shepherd, Rex. He was happy and well cared for the whole time, and he got along great with her dogs, which was a big relief. I really appreciate the care she gave him and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Mina does such a great job with Sadie! Her communication was wonderful and Sadie was very happy while with Mina. I would definitely rebook with her anytime I need to board Sadie.”
“Mereya and Justin are great dog sitters. We are always afraid that Gracie our dog has so much fun visiting them that she will not want to come home. They always send us pictures so we can see what Gracie is doing, and have a nice yard for playing and sunbathing.”
“Peter is the most caring and thoughtful dog-sitter I've ever met and I am so grateful I found him to take care of my GSP for the several weeks I was away. Peter is very insightful and understood my dog Inka perfectly. Inka warmed up to Peter immediately and the added bonus were the friendships Inka made with Peter's two dogs Mia and Bruno. I was anxiety free the whole time I was away because I knew Inka was in excellent hands. Peter also sent me gorgeous photos of my baby almost every day. I could not recommend a better person for your dog while you are away. Thanks Peter!”
“Benjamin was so great with our girl Juniper! She can be a bit on the nervous side and he was really good about going at her pace and keeping us posted on everything. Will definitely be using again!”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
“Doug kept up with sharing pics and texts with me during my pups stay. The updates kept me from all worries I might of had. Doug seemed to figure out our dog’s play style, and shared with us new tricks Akira and him were doing. It sounded like they really had a fun time. Plus our dog got to meet new friends, go on lots of walks, and had a good amount of attention and treats.”
“Great service very friendly & communicated.She sent pics of my dog interacting with the other dogs playing . After his stay she gave me a goodies bag with treats & pictures of dog the memories created while during his 3day stay. I’m truly grateful 💕”
“Emily did an amazing job at keeping me updated and sending pics of Max. Max enjoyed his visit and playing with her two pups, I was so glad he had friends to hangout with while we were away! Thanks Emily, we will be booking with her again when we need a pup sitter!”
“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!!!!”
“The best sitters! They are wonderful caregivers and provide awesome photos and reassurance for the families. Our canine family member will stay with them as much as circumstances permit.”

This is our second time leaving our dog Frankie with Ben. I feel so much more comfortable leaving Frankie with him rather than a boarding facility (especially because Frankie is reactive and doesn't do well in a kennel environment). Each time she's stayed with Ben, she seems happy and well taken care of when we pick her up
Jessa and Kevin were incredible with Benji. Their warmth, kindness, and enthusiastic spirits created a welcoming environment and I knew Benji would be in great hands while I was away. Jessa and Kevin provided consistent communication with photo updates and were flexible with my schedule. Benji is looking forward to the next time I travel so he can visit his new friends!
Megan was great with my dog during a 4 day boarding and sent lots of photos. She made sure my dog was comfortable and that he had a good time. Her dog is easy to get along with and played with mine. Over all a great experience I’ll book with Megan the next time I need boarding.
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!!!!
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! ❤️🐾
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.
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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 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 November 2026, there are 336 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Albuquerque. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Albuquerque. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
