“I was so hesitant about having someone I didn’t know come into my home and care for my pups, but I’m extremely glad I booked Taylor. She did a meet and greet with us, which made me feel more more at ease. She was flexible with my changing schedule and communicated well. I have already rebooked her for another need and will continue to do so.”
“Savannah was kind, polite and followed all my instructions. My dog loved her right away, despite usually being shy with new people. It's obvious from the photos she sent that my pup was so well loved and cared for during her visits. I would definitely book her again!”
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
About: I am a medical student who has dogs at home and would love to share my love while in school to your own fur babies! My clinical schedule is currently flexible, so I am free on most days of the week for a majority of the day to care for your babies! I ensure that I am treating your fur babies as my own. I meticulously watch over them and provide constant communication to ensure that you know your babies are safe and happy!
About: I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and individualized care throughout the day. As a longtime dog owner, I know every pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make sure they feel safe and at home. I have a large, secure yard with plenty of room for supervised play, exploring, or simply finding a sunny spot to relax. I’m also happy to provide walks, playtime, socialization, basic training reinforcement, and light grooming based on your dog’s needs and routine. I’m active by nature, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for dogs who prefer a quieter pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard adventures, couch time, or a combination of all three, I’ll tailor their stay around what makes them happiest. I work remotely, so when I’m not traveling for work, I’m home and available throughout the day to provide consistent, personalized care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and one-on-one attention. I’m very active and happy to keep up with dogs who enjoy walks and play, but I’m equally content spending time with pups who prefer a slower pace, backyard lounging, or snuggles on the couch. I can easily adapt my routine to match your dog’s normal schedule so their time away from home feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have a secure yard with a separate fenced dog run, giving pups a safe space for outdoor time, play, and fresh air. Inside, my home is relaxed and pet-friendly and dogs are welcome on the couch and furniture and are treated like part of the household. I also have two small rescue dogs of my own. I understand that not every dog wants or needs to socialize, so I can keep pets comfortably separated when needed or allow supervised introductions and playtime for dogs who enjoy making new friends. I’m happy to provide a comfortable crate or create a separate, personalized space based on your dog’s routine and preferences. I always recommend bringing a favorite bed, blanket, or other familiar item from home to help your pup settle in and feel secure while you’re away. My goal is to follow your dog’s normal routines as closely as possible and provide an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Jordan B was avlb right away when my other Rover petsitter had to cx becs of a car accident. Jordan was very kind to my dog & 2 sibling Siamese kitties. He also showed me a better way to organize the 🐕 kibble dish. Thank you, Rover & Jordan B.”
“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 combine reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. I keep you updated, follow your pet’s routine closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, like you never left! I’m a last semester nursing student doing my capstone! That means I have lots of time during the day, most of my shifts are nights! Please let me cuddle your pets, I need the dopamine! I have no other pets in my home, more time to focus on yours! I love walking, hiking and playing fetch! I used to be an urban park ranger, I know all the best parks!
“Laurie was great with our dog. She was very attentive and made sure to keep us informed of everything that was going on during her visit visits. I would definitely use her again. Our dog is very timid and scared and she did everything she could to make sure he was comfortable while we were gone.”
“Susana was wonderful! She took great care of our three cats and a bunch of our little foster kittens! She even managed to administer last minute medications for all three squirmy kittens. She was great to communicate with and we definitely plan to book her again!”
About: Since I was 3 yrs I've cared for animals. Mostly dogs and cats of all kinds. Right now I own two cats. Loki and Bella. Currently I'm available to house sit dogs or cats in my home. As well as checking on them at others houses. Anytime day or night. There is a house as well as a fenced backyard for dogs. Also I'm available to walk and play anytime throughout the day. Extra time for cuddles as well.
“Mira came to my home earlier in the week and did a walk through meet and greet. She was very pleasant to meet. On the day of pet care she kept me posted and sent some comforting photos of the love they received. She is trustworthy and reliable and highly recommended to care for your fur family”
About: My name Christina, I have been around pets all my life. My daughter has been doing Rover for over 6 years and she absolutely loves it! So, I decided to sign up! When my daughter was moving back from Alabama to New Mexico, I took care of her cat and dog for about 3 weeks. I fed them, walked her dog and gave them plenty of love until she returned. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. My schedule fluctuates because I have a part time job and the hours vary. So, we can talk about the schedule prior to booking. I would love to take care of your fur babies because I would treat them like my grand babies like my daughters babies and give lots of loving and care while you are away. My daughters fur babies & their personalities: She cat and a dog. Tucker is the most laid back cat you will ever meet. You can literally carry him like a baby. He is great for introducing dogs that have never met cats before. **Please be mindful though, if your dog does not like cats. Please please please let me know that when you message me.* Yoshi is the only dog. Yoshi is a Shiba Inu who loves loves loves to play! I got Yoshi about 6 years ago. My pets are fully vaccinated and gets flee medication once a month. He is neutered. Yoshi, is a Shiba and if you know anything about Shiba's they can have temperamental personalities. Yoshi gets along with other dogs but on his time. He does not like over dominate/ over aggressive dogs. If your dog displays that, please be mindful, honest and upfront about the dynamics. Your animals are top priority when it comes to safety as well as my daughter animals. Cancellation Policy: If you book a stay with me. You will have 3-days before the start of the stay to cancel to get a full refund. If you cancel after the 3-days, you will be refunded 50% of the stay.

“Carlota was wonderful! My baby was immediately attached to her. She made sure my baby had lots of time to stretch her legs and get some fresh air each time she dropped in. We scheduled Carlota in a pinch and are so glad we did! 🥰”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience in all walks of animals lives. I'd rather be around animals ! My schedule is currently open at this time. I will be going back to school in a month but should not limit my available time. When I am petsitting I care for the pet however the owner instructs me they would like for me to take care of their pet.
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
“It was wonderful to work with Misty! She’s very professional, considerate, and communicative. I really appreciated her flexibility and the daily pictures! I also learned a thing or two about dog training from her, which I found super helpful. My critters all love her (obviously the most important thing!). I highly recommend her for all your critters.”

Daniel once again was awesome and took great care of our fur babies! We know we have a large fur family, but the care, attention, and love Daniel gives our pets is truly appreciated. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying because we knew our pets were in great hands. We highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Celeste is hands down the best pet sitter we ever had. We were so worried because we had an unexpected trip come up and were scrambling to find help with our pets. Celeste stepped up and helped us in our time of need. She went above and beyond to show us our pets were loved and well taken care of. I cannot sing her praises enough 💛💛💛
Sara watched my very energetic Labradoodle, Luffy, and my miniature schnauzer mix, Smokey, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was incredibly thorough during the meet and greet, making sure everything was in place beforehand to provide the best care while I was away. Her genuine affection and connection with my pets were evident in every check-in photo and message. She had the patience of a saint when it came to handling my very energetic dog. She even got Luffy to sit and stay, which felt like a miracle! I would highly recommend her and will definitely book again. I’m pretty sure my dogs already miss her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Albuquerque is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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 856 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Albuquerque. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Albuquerque choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Albuquerque with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
