Cat Sitting in Alley Place

“Emily is very responsible, timely and dependable. I'm super happy she could help me with my kitty. My cat liked her a lot. She followed my instructions exactly. I felt really good about her care and plan to ask for help again in the future.”

“Kim was wonderful with my Persian cat, Miggie. I could tell by Miggie's demeanor when I arrived home. She was happy and well care for by Kim. Thank you again, Kim! I will definitely be booking again if I need to leave town.”

Christine N.

“Shene left details on each visit and took excellent care of my cat and plants while we were gone. Highly recommend!”

April N.

“Rhiannon looked after our two cats while we were away for two weeks and did a fantastic job. She was very communicative and sent us status updates on the cats and our home after every visit. As much as we missed our pets, we felt more secure knowing that they were in good hands.”

About: I'll take your dog out for some fun and enriching exercise while peacefully training them to calmly follow along at your side with no pulling, whining, or reacting! I am a dog trainer, field biologist, and academic coach driven to lead people towards a mutually fulfilling life with their dogs, and to share my knowledge and wonder of nature to promote stewardship and love for all sentient beings. I have cared for family pets (cats, dogs, fish, rodents, rabbits, etc) throughout my life, and I have performed extensive animal husbandry during my PhD in Animal Behavior and Ecology (I have even trained and rehabbed hummingbirds!). I began formally dog walking and training in January 2025 and have helped each of my clients transform their relationships with their dogs by learning how to efficiently and peacefully communicate. I hope to: 1) refresh your dog's basic obedience and floppy leash walking skills; 2) help you be aware of your dog's body language, and your own habits; and 3) empower you to become the leader your dog needs! I am happy to offer free nail checks and trimming! 1% of all proceeds will go to Blackhat Humane Society, a Navajo Nation rescue/ foster organization where I adopted my service dog Louie from! I am currently based in Albuquerque, and I have a very flexible work and life schedule, so I can likely accommodate requests for walks at any time and frequency! I have an extensive experience house and pet (and plant!) sitting for family and friends, and I always treat clients' dogs and homes with utmost respect. I am currently unable to host pets in my home.

“Joy went above and beyond while looking after Kitty for two weeks. She made sure my cat was comfortable, healthy and loved. Great communication with lots of pictures and laughter. Joy has a very interesting way of life, avid about health, care and nutrition.”

“Svetlana was very prompt and responsive and kept us updated. She did a great job caring for our cats and was very flexible as our travel plans changed”

“Although sitter ended up in hospital, she communicated situation with us and had a close family member take care of the animal for the next 24 hours until we could rush home. Thanks!”

Danell H.

“Jewels was great! Our furry family loved her and want her to come back soon. Our group is quite a handful with 3 Border Collies and a cat that thinks she is a Border Collie. Thanks Jewels for the 5 star treatment.”

Karen M.

“Spencer did an amazing job taking care of my cat Xena while I was out of town! He sent great pictures during visits and was very responsive to messages with updates and reassurances when I would check in. He was even comfortable walking my cat on her harness, and she was very quick to warm up to him and become friends! I highly recommend Spencer for anyone looking for a cat sitter and would definitely work with him again in the future”

“Rita was great! Both of our kitties seemed very relaxed when we came home, and the house was clean like we never left! Will definitely book her again.”

Madison B.

“Another perfect pet sit! It’s so nice knowing Kat is taking care of my Winston. He loves her and she is great with him. I appreciate that she takes time to play games with him as well as give him lots of cuddles.”

Patricia S.

“Daniel was great with our dog Lola, took her walking and running and making her special breakfast and dinner! Kitties did great even though one did hide for a while which is her norm. House was left very clean and I really appreciate his daily updates.Will definitely use again!!”

Diane M.

“Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!”

About: I currently provide dog-sitting services for coworkers, elderly neighbors, and friends. I don’t get enough bookings from people I know, so I’m joining Rover to hopefully get some more opportunities. My background includes working at an animal hospital, where I was primarily responsible for boarding dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. My duties encompassed walking, feeding, playing with, and maintaining the cleanliness of the kennels. Additionally, I undertook tasks such as bathing animals and caring for newborn puppies and kittens. I also look after my family’s cat and my partner’s dogs, both of whom present challenges due to their dog-aggressive behavior. This experience has fueled my ongoing commitment to studying dog behavior and training techniques to enhance my caregiving skills and better support the animals I look after. I will be fully dedicated to your pet’s wellness and happiness if you book with me! My fees are based on experience, gas expenses, and the work itself. Tips are greatly appreciated as there is a huge service fee on here. Thank you :) Right now, I work full time from 8:30 to 4:30, but I am fully available during evenings and early mornings. For any at home care on the weekends, I will have to leave for 2 hours to check on my own dogs while my partner is at work. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. In client homes, I am trusted with overnight stays and have consistently managed multiple animals without any issues, ensuring they are comfortable, secure, and well-cared-for in their familiar surroundings. In my own home, I adhere to a disciplined routine, particularly with dogs, to maintain a sense of order and security. This includes scheduled feeding times, walks, and play sessions, which helps in managing their energy levels and maintaining their health. My cat, Beans, enjoys a more flexible routine, which suits her independent nature. She's free to set her own pace throughout the day, though I ensure her needs for interaction and care are met. Overall, my approach is based on respect, patience, and attentiveness to the unique personality and requirements of each pet, ensuring they feel loved and at ease under my care.

About: I got my first dog when I was 12 years old and have had pets every since! I've had everything from dogs to fish! We even had a scorpion when I was little. I'm a stay at home mom dog to my Great Dane! I make sure he is always well stimulated with toys play time and walks! I even go on doggy play dates! I care for all pets as my if they were my own kid. Strays included! I'm known in my family as the crazy animal lady..

About: I've handled and taken care of many pets for a long time, ever since I was in elementary school. I have primarily worked at an animal hospital with veteranarians in the clinic while assisting them, administering medication when needed, managing the boarding facility, and deep cleaning. I've worked with dogs and cats from bottle fed all the way to senior care. I'm also very experienced with bird care which is a plus. I'd be more than happy to give your loving friend the care it deserves, while you're away! Currently studying college in online classes, but I can make arrangements to help with your pet's needs, and provide any care for them. Flexibly and easily. I take care of the certain pet(s) depending on the owners desire or needs. But if standalone without any important rules, I always play and spend time with them while doing other activities! (TV, games, cooking, time outside, etc.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets, both my own and my family members, for 8 years. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog and he is the most calm natured and loving dog I’ve ever met. My family members regularly ask me to pet sit for them when they are busy or go out of town. I’m a high school senior and I need to raise money to afford college tuition. I get out of school at 1:30 every day and am free on weekends so I will almost always have time to care for your little babies :) I have a 1.5 acre fenced in yard so any pets will have lots of space to run and play. If they are allowed, I’ll give them treats. We have many toys for cats and dogs so they will always have something to entertain them.

“Tammy and her husband did a great job of taking care of our pets, even during an ice storm. She also reached out to us during a power outage with questions. Would be happy to have her come by if/when we go away again.”

About: DOG LOVER! I was born to make dogs happy. We have always grown up with a dog in our home, unfortunately I am without a dog at the moment, so I have the urge to host now! I personally trained our own dog by reading books on dog training and dog psychology. We walk at least once a day for 45 min. - 1 hour. Dog park trips included if they enjoy socializing with others. No tap water - filtered water only! I use an apple airtag to track dogs who are known escape artist or those that just want the extra security. Dogs will have access to the indoors and outdoors. Our home is located in the NE heights and I have a fence in backyard with night vision cameras and motion lights for security purposes. Your pets will be treated as our own and may join us on outings such as old town, farmers markets, small day trips, etc. I am currently working 9-5 job, and my partner works part-time. Morning: feeding, walking. Day time: walking. Evening: feeding, walking, playing, dog parks. If you want your dog to be cleaned upon your arrival then you can pay additional fee for cleaning in grooming. Our backyard is a medium size, completely enclosed. No other dogs are around. Also, we have security cameras so we can monitor them in the house if we are out.
