About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I’ve watched big dogs like pit bulls to tiny little shi tzu’s. While I don’t have professional experience, I know a lot about dogs and I’m very gentle and tending to an owners needs. I’ve been trusted by many family members to watch and walk their dogs and have received nothing but positive feedback. I truly have a heart for dogs and am motivated to make them happy. I’m working part time due to my full time college schedule, so I have a lot of time to walk dogs or pet sit them while you are away at work! I’m looking to make some extra money to afford studying dental hygiene at UNM. I get out of class at about 2:30pm every weekday, and after that I’m free. I live in an apartment with many huge grass patches for dogs to run around, along with a dog park on the property. I also have a patio for them to play, and a huge crate for my own dog which any dog could use if needed. I’m very good with instructions, because I’m picky myself when finding a dog sitter.
“Excellent dog sitter. Excellent communication. I got a pawgress report from the sitter to let me know our dog was doing well, which I appreciated very much. Will use this sitter again without hesitation”
“Yixuan and her husband took amazing care of our dog, Monty. She sent daily pictures and great communication throughout. I could tell he got a lot of love and got to do cool activities like a hike. I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve owned several types of dogs from small to big since i was a child! I now have my own cat that me and my partner take care after and give so much love to! I have experience of basic necessities such as walking dogs, playing with them, etc I am a full time ABA therapist where my schedule during the week ranges usually from 8 AM - 7:30 PM! I can check on your pets or take them for a walk anytime after that! Weekends are always free other than sundays from 2 PM - 5 PM! I ensure the pet's safety, comfort, and happiness by following the owner's instructions carefully. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and providing any medication as needed. I also maintain a clean environment by tidying up after the pet and respecting the client's home and belongings. I keep the owner updated with regular messages or photos to let them know how their pet is doing.
About: I’ve been the primary provider for my cats for a decade since my family adopted them. On occasion, family friends would ask for help with their pets. I’m working part-time with plenty of free time to fill. I can typically pick up last minute bookings, but I’d prefer sooner notice. I’d consider myself very understanding of cats and their needs. I love mine like my own babies (because they absolutely are!) and I’d be so excited to treat yours with the same love, care, and respect.
“Alan did an exemplary job watching our pups. He was highly communicative, very responsive, and most importantly, we could tell he truly treated our pups as his own! During our meet and greet with him, Alan took the time to bond with our pups and learn about their individual personalities and needs. During their stay with him, Alan made sure to send us photos of our pups, which we were delighted to see them so comfortable and happy. We are so thankful for the time our pups were able to spend with Alan, and we are looking forward to booking with him again! We give our highest recommendation of Alan as a pet sitter!”
“Brittany was great! She’s flexible, responsive with updates and a genuine dog lover. Hiro was well taken care of and puts at ease knowing that he’s in good hands. I highly recommend her for future booking!”
“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”
“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”
About: My name is Celaya, and I have a strong passion for animals, especially dogs. I have over four years of experience in the pet care industry, working with a wide variety of dog breeds and sizes. My background includes feeding and administering medication when needed, as well as providing regular walks and exercise. I am skilled in reading dog behavior and body language, allowing me to ensure each dog's safety, comfort, and well-being. I take pride in delivering reliable, compassionate care and building trust with both pets and their owners. I recently moved back to New Mexico and am currently looking for work, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I enjoy making sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and the care they need. I’m comfortable making pet care a consistent part of my week and treating each pet like my own. When caring for pets in my home or at the client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving any medications if needed, taking them on regular walks, and providing plenty of playtime and attention. I always watch for signs of stress or discomfort and make sure they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a quick visit or overnight stay, I treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: Hi, my name is Sam. I am in the Albuquerque area and would be happy to help you with your pets. I have tons of experience with animals including volunteering for cat adoption days with PACA, rehoming abandoned animals, petsitting special needs animals, fostering, agility and show dog training, and behavioral training with dogs. I also have a passion for my fish hobby :) due to this app being a little odd with keeping a lot of our pay lets discuss on our own time a good solid plan ahead with your furry friend that way everyone is happy :) I am available in the afternoons up to the early evenings. However, I can make an exception for some early morning check-ins or walks. Just feel free to ask first! Because I work from home, I am more flexible when it comes to extended periods of pet-sitting as long as I have a quiet place to work. Whatever instructions and guidance I am given I am happy to respect and adhere to those rules when it comes to being in someone else's space or if they are coming to my house. In my own home, it is calm, quiet, with a gated area in the back patio with a garden. The animals are free to move about in the house. I do not have a backyard per se but the back patio is a decent size and secure for dogs to do their business and relax for a bit. I do not have animals of my own at the moment.
“Christina was great! She kept us updated throughout our pups stay. Bree had a great time with her other boarder pup. Christina was very professional and we ( and Bree) liked her so much we are interested in setting up regular doggy daycare days!”
“Kathleen was very polite and professional. She was responsive in returning messages and sent me several photos and videos everyday of Baron. Kathleen took wonderful care of my dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I was extremely nervous using this site for the first time but Kathleen quickly put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her for all future pet sitting needs. Baron had a great time!!!”
“Gee Bee's & Fawn-du's stay with Karen was absolutely wonderful! She was so very attentive to everything and if the doggies could talk they would tell you they really enjoyed their time with her. Pat & Jim”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals of all sizes. I’m comfortable caring for both big dogs and cats, and I’ve had pets of various breeds and sizes throughout my life. Currently, I have three pets of my own, so I understand the attention and care they need on a daily basis. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate what works best for the client. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, cuddles, or patience, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have three pets of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my daily life. I work part-time with short shifts, and also attend UNM, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat each home with respect and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I keep clients updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Albuquerque
I was very happy with their service. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place needing to have my pets placed and having no family here I went searching. I found Rover and started searching. I desperately wanted someone who didn’t have pets so it would be a drama free situation and I was pleased. I was updated with text and pictures. This put me more at ease. I give them 5 stars but if I could give 10 they definitely deserve it. If I ever need to have a pet sitter again I am 100% going to contact Jessa & Kevin.
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! ❤️🐾
Simply the best! I was able to enjoy the trip with no worries. My baby Opal was taken care of and Jen and her SO were very communicative and sent tons of photos to let me know she was okay. I can't recommend enough. Will use her services again down the road when I have future travels.
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.
