Tabatha saved the day! This was my first time using Rover here and luckily she was nearby and available. Extremely kind and generous, she played with my dogs as requested, took photos. I left them home for the first time in our new space in complete peace. Thank you, Tabatha.

We asked Brigit to check in on our cat while my wife and I were out of town for two weeks. She has a calm, professional attitude and was quick to respond to questions. After meeting her, it felt easy to trust her with our furry companion as well as letting her into our home. Everyday we looked forward to a photo of our cat from Brigit which really put our minds at ease. We would definitely hire her again.

About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals all throughout college so I have lots of experience! I’m very nurturing and kind and I even have my own kitty that is very friendly. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m work from home most days. I love to go to the gym and go on walks. I am a home body so on the weekends I like to cook and prepare for the week. A typical day with your animal looks like playtime in the morning and a walk in the evening! If it’s a cat I make sure to play throughout the day and especially at night so they and I sleep well! If I am going to your home I will read and relax with them when I’m not playing with them and I will feed based on your schedule for your pet.

About: I have loves dogs for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs of my own, and have a lot of experience of dog breeding and taking care of their puppies who have all gone to nice homes. I love the animals with all my heart is my dream to become a vet ever, since I was little. I also have a bird who is living a long nice life, taking care of her has shown me how to stick to a schedule and to watch out for any hidden details, since birds hide their sickness well, because of that it has also helped me identify if anything is wrong with my dogs. We have Paisley (9), Olly or Oliver (6), and Pepper (3). They are all extremely kind and do great with other dogs. They are Cavalier, King Charles spaniels. Paisley has had 3 litters and Pepper 2. Because of their litters I have experience delivering the puppies and taking care of them until they go to their new home, if you want to see if this is true, you can go to my moms website “Turners Cavilers” on Facebook and you’ll be able to see the lil’ cuties! I am available any time of the day! My job just recently closed down and I’m a college student so I’ve been looking for jobs that could help my exercise and work from home so I will be able to do my assignments! But if anything came up I would be able to let you know immediately and work with you to see how we can still come to an agreement! How I care for my pets is we have a water bowl inside and out, we feed them at very specific times to avoid them gaining to much weight and take them on occasional walks, the backyard is fenced with green grass (besides a patch of dead grass where the dogs have made a path) there’s is plenty of shade in the backyard if your dog tends to get warm easily, but most of the time we keep our dogs inside and have a huge dog bed for all three of them. If your pet requires it we do have dog bowls and I can keep out for your pet. We also have crates if this is something that you want for your pet if I ever offer overnight stay. Our three dogs are extremely playful and friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs. We also have our own grooming station in our garage that we use for our own dogs.

About: I have taken care of pets for neighbors, friends, and teachers of mine! I also volunteered at Watermelon Mountain Ranch in high school. I would be honored to be chosen to take care of your companion! I am in the job market, so I am available when you need me! I can take your dog to the park or on a walk during your lunch, or even stay with them during the weekdays. I can carry out any instructions for care that are given. If your dog needs a lot of play and stimulation, I can accommodate! If your animal is low maintenance and prefers to cuddle on the coach, I can bring a book or watch a show.

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

I can not say enough good things about our experience with Jennifer! She worked a meet n’ greet with me and my husband into her schedule last minute because I was out of town the week before we left for our trip. I could immediately tell she was very professional and organized. We felt so comfortable knowing she was there taking care of our cats! Our outgoing girl definitely loved her right away and we got lots of photos and updates of our cat “supervising” and we laughed hysterically when we found treats under the covers where our shy kitties hid. Jennifer was so good with all 3 of our cats and took such great care of our house as well, and was so communicative with us throughout our trip. We will ABSOLUTELY be using her again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Celeste was amazing with our boys in our home. She spent time loving on them, taking care of them, and making sure they were safe when she left. She sent pictures any time she visited and we always came home to no accidents and 2 very happy boys. Would DEFINITELY recommend and use again.
