“Candace is great to work with. I reached out for dog walking my two rescues. They have some quirks and she manages them well. I’m happy she’s available when I need her. I will use her service again.”
About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.
“My dog got two awesome walks today thanks to Robert and Holly. The walks were long and I loved being able to see the map of where they went. Good pics were sent. My dog said hello when I got home and then fell right asleep! I think she had a very good day. I look forward to hiring them for my next outing.”
“Tabitha has truly been a life saver. She is quick to respond and she always has a great positive attitude. Whenever something comes up, she is always willing to help and my dog LOVES her!!”
“Delena is great with Koda and Colson. They had an instant connection. She puts on their leash and is off on their walk. They already know that she is there to take them out. Will continue to work with her.”
About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.
“I’ve been working with Erich for the past week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He has been a huge help in improving my dog Cosmo's behavior on walks. Erich has gone above and beyond in not only walking Cosmo but also helping with little training moments that have already made a noticeable difference. He’s incredibly communicative and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about Cosmo’s well-being. I’ve loved working with him and will definitely continue scheduling with Erich moving forward!”
About: I have always had dogs in my life! I’ve taken care of large dogs of various breeds as well as small pups. I enjoy the different personalities that each dog has and would love to take care of yours! We have a 4 year old Lab that would love to have another dog to play with and keep her company! I am working from home and available everyday unless out of town, my schedule is very flexible! We would love to host your fur baby as one of our own! We have a fenced in back yard and turf for the dogs to run and play! Our pups are pretty spoiled and have free roam of the house. We allow them to sleep in the bed but also have many dog beds throughout the house and will follow whatever routine or rules you set to continue your pups routine.
“She walked my dog Sophie for more than a year - AMAZING!!!!! I would have been so lost without her. Dependable and loving to my Sophie. Couldn’t recommend her more 😊”
“Coda absolutely adores Jennifer. I saw it first hand when I was home due to an illness and she came to walk Coda when I am usually in class. It was heartwarming to see.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.
About: Growing up around dogs of all breeds has taught me about their unique personalities, preferences, and safety. I believe every animal deserves love and pampering—whether they’re couch potatoes or full of energy, I adapt quickly! Comfortable with both small and large dogs, I’ve seen it all—so nothing fazes me. As a big advocate for exercise, I’ll make sure active pups get plenty of walks. And don’t worry—your pet will get all the love and care they deserve. I’ve got plenty to give! I currently have an open schedule as I am returning to school come the fall semester. Once that begins, I will still be very open as most of my classes are online. I stick to their routine, dietary needs, and favorite activities (walks, playtime, or cuddles!). Safety and love come first, and I always keep owners updated. Dogs enjoy structured outings, while cats get play or space, depending on their mood. I adapt to each pet’s unique personality to keep them happy and comfortable!
“Eowyn walked my dog for a second week in a row and he continued to do very well and responded positively to her visits. I will definitely continue using her dog walking services!”
About: I grew up with large dogs in the home and spent my teenage years pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends with pets of all types! This included all sizes of dogs, so I am comfortable with most breeds, house cats, and specialty care including elderly pets, pets with medication needs including daily pills and insulin injections, and different walking requirements/practices. I have no concerns about large breeds as long as they are leash trained. I am very comfortable with puppies and basic dog training and am comfortable practicing your preferred walking or training practices as specified. I am a current graduate student that loves pets and uses rover for flexibility around my school schedule. My availability fluctuates however I am often working from home for months at a time and am flexible for drop-ins, house-sitting, and walking schedules. I am comfortable caring for your pet as you prefer and have experience with many pet living situations. Relative to walking, I have used many methods including pronged collars, gentle leaders, harnesses, traditional leashes, etc. Within my own home, I have one 2-year old labrador that loves playing with other dogs and is gentle with dogs of all sizes.
“Marisa has done a great job walking Herk over the past several weeks! She has been communicative, responsible, and flexible! Herk gets excited whenever she comes to the door. Thanks Marisa!”
“Gail was AWESOME! She and my little girl love each other. I had Gail come in for several days right after adopting and she was very helpful with communication, pictures and notes. And between Gail and I we got my girl into a great routine and helped her settle in very happily. Nothing but great things to say about Gail! We will definitely call her again. Thank you Gail!”

Ethanee R.Star Sitter
“Ethanee took care of our very finicky 22-year-old cat for 9 days over the holidays. Our cat requires twice daily medication and has special dietary needs. We came home to one very happy, very healthy cat. She provided us daily updates, was meticulous about cleaning the litter box and keeping water cleaned and refilled. As a plus, the house was also spotless!!! Not only is our cat very finicky, we are also very picky about who we trust to care for our fur-baby. We will ask Ethanee to cat sit any time we leave. We cannot thank her enough for the care and attention she showered on our little Reggie.”

Kimberly L.
“Hello! I have two four-legged girls that I love very much. I am a picky dog mom who always wants the best for them, as you do for yours. I occasionally have to go out of town and want to be sure they are well cared for. I lost my last caregiver, so I did lots of research in my community and had good reports on Kimberly. She certainly lived up to her recommendations, and perhaps even exceeded them. She understands dogs, and after meeting my pitties, she was happy to care for them. We arranged for check-in calls, she took them for walks and played with them. I had a special request for certain rubs and massages, and it was no problem. When I picked up my girls, they were happy, clean, and energetic. I think you can be confident in Kimberly's care for your fur babies.”
Isabella R.
“Isabella is my go to dog sitter. She loves dogs and takes great care of mine. I guarantee your dog will be well taken care of, but most importantly your dog will be happy after an adventure time with Isabella. Shes very loving, caring and extremely responsible. Would definitely recommend Isabella for anyone looking to make sure their pet is in good hands!!”

Throughout the week I felt confident Cleo was getting the attention, exercise, food and love she needed and Livia was super communicative and responsive whenever I reached out for updates. Next time we head out of town will definitely reach out to Livia for pet setting/dog walking needs. Could not recommend her more!”
