“Mira came to my home earlier in the week and did a walk through meet and greet. She was very pleasant to meet. On the day of pet care she kept me posted and sent some comforting photos of the love they received. She is trustworthy and reliable and highly recommended to care for your fur family”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist who pet sits on the side because I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals. Providing loving, reliable care for your pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to help families with their furry companions. I do have a busy schedule during the week, so if you are booking with me and need specific services, times, or hours, please be sure to communicate those details when making your booking request. My time is just as valuable as yours, and I’ve found that the app doesn’t always clearly communicate exact expectations. For example, a booking may show a broad time frame, such as 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, without specifying how long you actually need me there. To make sure we’re all on the same page and that I can provide the best care possible, please include any specific scheduling needs or expectations in your booking request. For safety and comfort, I am never alone during visits. My family members help me at all times. During a meet-and-greet, you may meet my sister, Abigail, or my partner, Coral. Depending on the situation, especially if a booking may be more challenging, my uncle may also assist. He always accompanies my sister when helping. We believe in maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for everyone involved, including your pets. Thank you so much for trusting me with your pets and for giving me the opportunity to care for them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! We can always talk when you are wanting to book with me, and we can see if our days will be able to correlate so that it works for your needs. I always show the animals love and just give them time to warm up. Most of the times my clients leave me notes and tasks to accomplish while they are away.
“Jesus was an incredible pet sitter. He took amazing care of my babies while I was across the country, and I never had to worry. I received pictures at every visit, and he even helped me with dog poo, which was a task! I will recommend him to anyone that ever needs a sitter and request him again and again. He made traveling so much easier. I couldn’t ask for better, more communicative, or more thoughtful! Thank you SO much!”
About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I currently walk my own dog several miles a day, often totaling a couple hundred miles each month. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, high-energy dogs, and maintaining steady, structured walks. As an Army veteran, I bring reliability, discipline, and consistency to every visit. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and respectful of your home. I understand that trust is everything when someone is caring for your dog, and I don’t take that lightly. For friendly, social dogs, I also offer the option of bringing my well-mannered Sheepadoodle, Curly, along for walks at no extra charge. He’s great with people and other dogs and can provide positive companionship and added exercise. This is always optional and only done with your approval after a proper introduction to ensure a good fit. Whether it’s an exercise-focused walk or a drop-in visit, your dog will be treated with patience, structure, and genuine care. Curly is with me almost 100% of the time — he’s truly part of my daily routine and always close by. We walk every day, and I make sure he gets consistent exercise, structure, and attention. He’s on a Hill’s Science Diet prescription food due to urinary tract issues, so I’m very strict about his diet to prevent kidney stones and keep him healthy. Managing his care has made me very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and health monitoring. Because of that, I understand how important consistency is. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and harness, monitor them closely for traffic, other dogs, or hazards, and adjust pace to each dog’s comfort and energy level. At home, I supervise interactions with Curly carefully, ensure doors and gates are always closed, and separate dogs when needed to maintain a calm, safe environment. I provide daily walks, structured routine, and plenty of attention. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule carefully and stick strictly to any dietary instructions, as I understand how important that is from managing my own dog Curly’s prescription diet.
“This is my first time using this service. I didn’t know what to expect. I had reach out to others and either never heard back or they just didn’t explain the process clearly. Finally I found Candice. Candice explained everything from the beginning to the end. We had a meet and great with Candice. She is a very sweet and loving person. I feel like we struck gold with her. She stayed in communication with us the entire time she was sitting out dog. She sent us pictures and even went above and beyond. In the pictures we can tell our dog was happy and comfortable with Candice. We are so grateful for her. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again. Thank you Candice!!”
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life - dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, frogs, and fish - and I absolutely love caring for them! I recently moved from Pennsylvania and had to leave my pets with family for now, so getting to spend time with other people’s furry friends brings me so much joy. I have experience with both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I always make sure they feel loved, safe, and happy. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the positive energy I bring to every visit! I’m available on weekends with at least 3 days’ notice, and weekdays after 5 PM. My schedule will be changing in June, so I’ll keep you updated as it shifts! I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a small dog yard and walking trails just steps away—perfect for outdoor time and exercise. I’m also right near the mountains, so your pet will be surrounded by nature and fresh air. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow any care instructions closely and treat every pet like family to build trust and make them feel right at home❤️
“Emalee was great. She watched our standard domestic animals, as well as our barn animals. She took care of the goats and our 13 chickens as well. Everyone is healthy and happy. Goats aren’t the easiest, but she handled them like a pro. I’ll be using her again in the future.”
“Desirea was exactly what we were looking for — someone to come check on our cat, give her some love, attention, and play time, and feed her in the morning. She even was willing to come over and meet me and my cat ahead of time to get to know us. She sent us pictures and was very easy to communicate with the whole time. We’ll definitely reach back out to her the next time we’re headed out of town!”
About: I have taken care of many rescues and have housed many dogs and cats. I have always been the go to when it comes to watching people’s pets! I also enjoy long walks to the park! I am currently on break from school, and I only work part time in my day job! I am free in the mornings and at nights to assist with animal care! I can stay all day on the weekends and come see them for an early morning walk and be back by 4pm for another walk and some cuddles! I have three senior dogs! They all have arthritis and are very old so I’m not able to take them out for long walks, but I do push them in a wagon so they can get fresh air! One of my senior citizens is blind and deaf so having another dog around him might spook him, but I can watch the home and pet for you!😆❤️
“Travis did a wonderful job with Mogwai, my giant rabbit child. He provided daily updates and some pictures. I felt Mogwai was in great hands and I came home to a well kept living area. I would absolutely rebook with Travis and recommend!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and to feel safe—no matter their personality or energy level. Your pup won’t just have a sitter—they’ll become part of the pack! My two friendly, well-socialized dogs, Martín (Doberman/Lab mix) and Simon (Corgi/Heeler mix), love making new friends and help every guest feel right at home. Whether it’s a walk, daycare, or an overnight stay, your dog will receive the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I know your dog is family, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of mine. You can relax knowing your best friend is in safe, caring, and dependable hands. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s already my lifestyle. Every day revolves around walks, playtime, enrichment, and quality time with my two dogs, Martín and Simon. When your pup stays with us, they naturally become part of our routine and our family. Because I have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of one-on-one attention, exercise, potty breaks, cuddles, and supervised play throughout the day. My goal is simple: I want every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back. While you’re away, you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is being cared for just like one of my own. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. Whether we’re enjoying walks, playtime, relaxing on the patio, or simply spending quality time together, your pup will always receive plenty of attention and supervision. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and treated like family.
“August had a magic touch with dogs! I only moments he calmed my young dog and had her sitting quietly. August stepped in at a last minute emergency and worked with me when every day we didn’t know what was happening. All my pets were happy and well cared for. Thank you!”

Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of my pups! I was a little concerned using Rover for the first time but picking Cindy and seeing how dedicated she was took those away, One of the pups is very anxious and nervous and she did a great job with her! She always checked in when she was with the pups which definitely gave me peace of mind. I can tell why Cindy is a star sitter. I would hire her again.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bernalillo stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bernalillo choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Bernalillo with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
