“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’”
“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”
“It is so nice to be able to be away from our boy and know that he is being well-taken care of. We are blessed to have Cecilia and Dan love and care for our boy. They are wonderful!!!”
“We’ve been taking our girls (Olive and Chloe, border collie and black lab mix) to Brian for almost three years. He is SO good with them, and I wish he could move with us to our next location so we could continue to have him watch our girls. I can’t recommend him enough- the girls start screaming when we’re two blocks away because they’ve started recognizing where we’re going, and they’re so excited to go. Really, truly, take your dogs to Brian. He has been the best blessing for us, and we’re so grateful we found him!! Thanks for everything!!!”
“Jessie was incredible! So kind and thoughtful to prepare both us and our dog for the stay including a very helpful meet and greet. She was very communicative. We got great pics and videos of all the fun Milo was having. It was such a comfort to have our pup in such a loving home while we were away. She is a gem!”
“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.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”
“Our dogs had the best time with Rita and Yoshi! Our dogs immediately cuddled up to Rita and felt safe with her, and her dog Yoshi is the absolute sweetest baby. Would absolutely recommend Rita!”
“Marissa has watched Hera 3 times now and it has always gone great, my dog always seems to have lots of fun with hers. Marrisa has been very accommodating with last minute plans of mine or changes to my schedule and I know my dog is happy and safe with her. I have no doubt I’ll be contacting her again the next time I go away without my dog.”
“This is out second time going to Debbie. She is great. The dogs were very excited when we turned into her driveway. Definitely will go back to Debbie for future stays!”
“Pat was great with our dogs. We are very happy after their stay as they came back happy and content. She is there most of the time which is important and shows great love for all dogs. She sent pics while we were away which is also very nice. I highly recommend her.”
“Sofie was the best! From our first communications, to the met and greet, to the end of the stay, she was flexible and friendly. I had no reservations about leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures everyday with a little update that confirmed she knew our dogs habits. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again myself!”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”

“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my doggo! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog felt comfortable at her home with her loving care and attention. Sara also took the time to give my dog her daily supplements and treats. I really felt like Sara took care of my dog like her own pets--so loving! Thank you so much, Sara!!”
“We were in a bind due to a family emergency which prohibited us from taking the dog, and very apprehensive about the safety and care of our beloved Mowgli. Such gratitude that Cindy stepped in, we were able to meet that day and throughout the trip we received updates showing Mowgli so well cared for. When we got home he was completely contented. Thank you Rover and especially Cindy - you gave us peace of mind at a time when it meant so much.”

Our girl couldn’t have been happier during her stay with Tracy. At drop off, she asked all the right questions and our dog warmed up to her immediately. Tracy sent pics and updates during her stay. Would 1000% recommend Tracy and hope to have her petsit again when we are in Albuquerque for baseball tournaments.

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Bernalillo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bernalillo home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bernalillo.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bernalillo. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bernalillo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
