“Overall wonderful job with my doggies. Both dogs seemed happy and well cared for on their walks. Will be booking again when we need help in the future.”


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.


“Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.”


“Henry was fantastic walking and running our German shepherd mix. He is friendly, punctual and great with our dog. I would highly recommend him.”


About: I have taken care of many pets since I was a child. I always loved animals, and always try to help the ones in need. I know how to properly train and care for pets! I also have IBPSA certifications! I am currently working full time, but work hours that allow me to work with your pets! Besides work, I am completely free for pet care! I currently provide in client home service, and I will be extremely respectful of your home. I will respect all rules pertaining to your pet, and prioritize the dog and home over anything else.

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!

“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!”

Whether it's walking your doggos or dropping in to check on them. Or them coming to my house.

About: I've had animals in my life since I was a toddler. If you've seen it in a pet store, I have had it before! I am also married to a professional dog trainer, so I know where to go for any helpful tips! I work from home every day of the week, which gives me great flexibility in looking after your pet. I always strive to offer a warm and loving environment for your four-legged, furry friends. I currently work from home so I am always present and able to respond quickly to any issues.

“Brittany was very responsive and kept me up to date with my dogs walk. Since she couldn’t walk them very long because of the rain she stayed and played with them in the house! Will be using her again!”


About: Certified animal lover! I have many years of experience working with many different dog and cat breeds. I used to do professional dog grooming so I am educated in wide variety of breeds, behaviors, health conditions, coat care and proper restraint. My number one priority when caring for your fur baby is safety. I grew up around animals and I currently own a Great Dane and Doberman mix. My Doberman has a history of health conditions so I am familiar with administering medication to dogs. Communication is important to me so I try to respond to messages and phone calls as soon as possible. Usually after I sit I give feed back to let you know how things went while you were away. I’m willing to do what ever it is my client asks for to satisfy their needs with their animals that I am being trusted to care for while they are away. I am currently available every day of the week and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me for any additional scheduling questions or concerns. When I stay at a clients home I ask for emergency contact information, safe areas, and off limit rooms. If your pet has any known health concerns I ask that you communicate them with me so I can keep an eye out. The safety of your home is just as important to me as your pet! Please let me know if there is any additional requests such as locking up, alarm system rules, checking the mail, etc.

I can ensure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day, evenings, and weekends. At this time I wouldn’t be able to offer care at my house due to me living with my in-laws while my husband away for the air force

About: Hi there! My name is Nicole. I work from home full-time doing finance in health insurance and have a very active lifestyle. Although new to Rover, I’ve grown up pet/house sitting for friends. I have two dogs of my own that keep me on my feet - always itching for adventure. My house isn’t too far from a dog park, but I much rather enjoy quiet walks on the bike path in the neighborhood or walks along the Bosque. Your pets’ safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for them. Knowing the queues and body language of each pet helps give an understanding of how they’re feeling and what they’re comfortable with.

About: I love all animals I work at the airport and have to say hi to all the doggies and since I was little I would always find puppies to take care of. My fur niece and nephew love me more then their parents. I would like to build a client list that would allow me to work full time with pet care so work doesn’t feel like work more like fun. I act like they’re my pets, I’d love them and give them pets and snacks (if allowed). I’m also the most trusting person I can send you a list of recommendations. People love me just as much as the animals do.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. My family relies on me to care for their pets if they are not home. I am available just about everyday. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate my schedule to work with both you and your pet. I will be safe and responsible with your pet. I will treat them as if they are my own. You will not have to worry.

About: I'm the one that has helped a toad cross the road, I've bottle fed goats growing up. I will catch bugs in my house and make sure they go back into nature. Hanging out with animals makes my heart happy. Administration of meds and giving them the love and attention they need is important to me. I've had pets since I was 5. I have had cats and dogs all my life, never not having them around. I have helped my dog give birth and helped with the membrane when some of the puppies were born too quickly and the mom was not able to free her puppies fast enough. I've administered medications. I've given vaccines. I've ensured the proper care of their coats. Helping them get their proper nurturing is important to me. Loving on your family member is a blessing to me. I have some Fridays off and some Mondays. I can help on the days I'm not at work and on weekends. I'm responsible and caring. I can help keep your furry friend feel comfortable with me and not feel like a whole lot has changed when their best friend isn't around.

Sierra D.
“I can say with total confidence that there’s no one more perfect for dog sitting than Sierra.

I’ve seen her lovingly care for animals of all kinds—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs—and every single one seems to fall in love with her instantly. She’s experienced with administering medications and even giving injections, which gives me total peace of mind when my pets need a little extra attention. But beyond all that, what really stands out is her heart. She has such a deep, genuine love for animals—it’s part of who she is. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and care for them with both skill and compassion, she’s the one.”
