“Greg is SO wonderful! I felt so secure leaving our fur baby in his care. He kept us updated throughout our trip with adorable pictures and messages that really helped us while missing her. I know that she was well taken care of and will definitely use him again!”
“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
“This was our first time ever boarding one of our animals and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was so helpful with what to expect and made the process stress free. Our little 9 month old husky was very well taken care of and we received daily pictures of her on her own little vacation lol. I definitely recommend Brian for your pet sitting/boarding needs.”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
“Miquela took great care of our feline during our 8 day absence. She is a great communicator and provided us pictures of our cat adapting to her surroundings. We would definitely recommend placing your cat in the care of Miquela. If we need a cat sitter in the future, we will definitely return to her. Thanks Miquela!”
“My dog Koda had the best time staying with Andrew and Holly!! They are clearly experienced with dogs and they have a wonderful setup to safely take care of multiple new dogs along with their own. I had a lot of travel issues and they were extremely flexible and understanding while I tried to figure out when I would be able to pick up Koda. Koda is sometimes nervous in new places with new people and dogs but it was clear when I picked him up that he had a great time and they kept me updated with many funny photos and videos! I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“She’s great! Communicates well and I experience no stress when I leave my pup there, unlike other places. I’m thankful to have her watch my dog and really recommend’”
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.
“Joanne did an amazing job! We were nervous about leaving our fur baby in someone else’s home but Joanne made sure we were comfortable and kept up to date throughout her time with her. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: I speak Spanish and my husband is bilingual. I Love dogs and have cared for dogs of all varieties. From young to old, small to large. I enjoy playing or going out for walks and especially giving them lots of love and attention. I am available any days, nights, and times. I have no other work nor responsibilities that require my attention. So I am able to provide day and night care for the duration of their visit. My husband is retired and will help me to take very good care of your fur baby. I would provide a lot of love and responsibility. Your pup will get the best type of care possible and I will follow the rules as you request. I never leave them alone except for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or such. I have a safe and easy going environment with no conflicts. I only care for the dog or dogs of one client at a time. My yard has high block walls and I will be out with them for play or potty breaks.
“My dog Lucy had a great stay with Celeste! I came home to a healthy and happy pup. Celeste kept me updated throughout Lucy’s stay and sent photos as well. I will definitely book again! Thank you Celeste for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“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!”
“Karen provided our little dogs with same love and care they receive at home! We were always comfortable being away from them and now know we’ve found the perfect caretaker! We highly recommend Karen!!!”

I adopted my current dog from the dumb friends league and lover her so much i have a tattoo of her :-) I currently work full-time but available any time after 1:00pm for all dog walking and dog sitting needs. I am open any time Wednesday and Thursday. I care for my dog and others by giving them proper attention and love! I clean up messes right away and make sure they have ample time to do their business during walks.
“Arman is like an extension of your family. He cared for my dog Bentley like he was his own dog. Took him for several walks, visits to see my daughter, cuddles in the couch and even a grooming appointment. He was SO extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Arman to anyone who needs pet sitting or care. 5 Stars!”

Whether you're a seasoned pet parent or thinking about welcoming a new companion into your home, I have your pet sitting/walks taken care of!

I have been pet sitting/walking dogs for about 18 years and love all animals! I can not only provide you with peace of mind while you are away, but your furry loved ones will have the best care possible until you are back to them. I also have the same amount of experience with cats, lizards and other small mammals. I have some prior dog walk clients not on rover, so please reach out about my schedule. I look forward to meeting all your amazing animal companions! This will be my full time job. I am pursuing my dream finally and saving to open an actual boarding facility and then one day a rescue. Thank you for your support and I look forward to working with you. I will be doing drop in visits until my house is fully set up for overnight boarding. I have a kennel that is clean and disinfected that can be brought and used. I also keep your home clean, water any plants needed and provide treats if allowed.

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! ❤️🐾
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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.
There are 345 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Albuquerque. About 93% of Albuquerque sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
