About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with them.

About: I have loves dogs for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs of my own, and have a lot of experience of dog breeding and taking care of their puppies who have all gone to nice homes. I love the animals with all my heart is my dream to become a vet ever, since I was little. I also have a bird who is living a long nice life, taking care of her has shown me how to stick to a schedule and to watch out for any hidden details, since birds hide their sickness well, because of that it has also helped me identify if anything is wrong with my dogs. We have Paisley (9), Olly or Oliver (6), and Pepper (3). They are all extremely kind and do great with other dogs. They are Cavalier, King Charles spaniels. Paisley has had 3 litters and Pepper 2. Because of their litters I have experience delivering the puppies and taking care of them until they go to their new home, if you want to see if this is true, you can go to my moms website “Turners Cavilers” on Facebook and you’ll be able to see the lil’ cuties! I work right now at a pet food place and work Tuesdays-Sunday. I work 9:30-6:30 On Tuesday-Friday and then 9:30-4 on Saturday and then 10:30-3:00 on Sundays. Granted, I will have other days off From Monday but it always changes. So just texting and communicating! My shedule can be flexible, I'm good at communication. How I care for my pets is we have a water bowl inside and out, we feed them at very specific times to avoid them gaining to much weight and take them on occasional walks, the backyard is fenced with green grass (besides a patch of dead grass where the dogs have made a path) there’s is plenty of shade in the backyard if your dog tends to get warm easily, but most of the time we keep our dogs inside and have a huge dog bed for all three of them. If your pet requires it we do have dog bowls and I can keep out for your pet. We also have crates if this is something that you want for your pet if I ever offer overnight stay. Our three dogs are extremely playful and friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs. We also have our own grooming station in our garage that we use for our own dogs.
About: I used to work for a company that did house soft and dog training. 12 years of animal experience. I will check on animals and attend to them no matter the circumstances. I used to be a dog trainer and can help teach many cues. I work during the day but during the night and weekends I can help. I work full time at an animal shelter as a behavior Specialist. I can care for the animals overnight and before and after work. If needed I can do an afternoon check in. I work from 9am to 6pm at my other job. I treat the clients pet like my own. I feed them and care for them. I want to build a relationship with them and make them feel safe.
“Luke has been fantastic with Bailey! He keeps me up to date on what's going on and has been flexible with my work schedule. Bailey is always excited to see him and sets a great pace on their walk to burn some of her energy off.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own: learning their quirks, routines, and comfort zones so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and full of energy for playful ones! Whether it’s long walks, extra cuddle time, or sticking to a specific feeding schedule, I make sure your pet gets personalized care and love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I plan my days around walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I love spending time outdoors and being active, so walks and visits fit perfectly into my lifestyle. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in, it’s something I truly enjoy every day. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions carefully. From feeding schedules and walks, to medication or specific routines. I spend quality time with each pet so they feel loved and secure, and I always make sure your home is respected and left tidy. I want you to come back to a happy pet and a peaceful home.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, giving me firsthand experience with their unique personalities, needs, and proper care. More recently, I was a member on another pet sitting website when I was a student at a university in Paris,France, where I had experience taking care of dogs and cats in my own apartment for a few different families for a period of time. The best part about watching pets is the pleasure I get from being able to give them love while their owners were away. I am open to pet sitting weekdays and weekends. I work during the week with days off in between. Early mornings and late nights are no problem. I’ll closely follow a pets routine, providing fresh water, food as instructed, exercise/playtime, medication if needed, a safe environment, and of course lots of love and affection.
About: I give your pets attention and affection, keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I send pictures most days to assure you all is well. My services include house-sitting, so your pets stay home where they’re comfortable. I have decades of experience with a variety of breeds. Let’s talk about what worries you and we’ll find a solution everyone is happy with! I’d prefer to visit your pets before securing the booking, to make sure we all get along. I am self employed and pet care is one of the ways I earn my living. I also work remotely for some of my clients and use the wi-fi to get tasks done. I have been house/pet sitting for decades. I treat your home as if I was a welcome guest, but not a part of the household. Over the years, I’ve had jobs where I was bonded for security, which means I have a clean record. I’ve been entrusted with confidential & proprietary information. I’ve adhered to HIPAA rules without breaking a sweat. I am trustworthy and friendly. I have a silly sense of humor and have skewed streaming algorithms with binging scifi. I’ve lived in the extremes of rural to urban environments. I can greet & thank people in ten languages. My idea of a party is a bowl of ice cream and a movie (sci-fi, British drama). Before we book anything, I’d like to stop by the house and give the critter(s) a chance to get a good look/smell of me and you can give me the lay of the land. Housesitting: I’m being hired to keep the critter(s) company, and that’s what I do. Nana comes to visit and keeping the house safe and the animal(s) safe and happy is my primary duty. My habit is to bring my own supplies, so when you get home, everything is how you left it. I have a ukulele and I sing familiar covers, so I’ll mention it now in case the neighbors mention something about it. (I have yet to have a dog howl as I sang, though the huskies were very talkative.) Drop-In: Depending on our discussion during the Meet & Greet, I will swing by your house according to the schedule we’ve set up. I will make sure the water is fresh and the food bowl has plenty of food. (My job is to make sure the animal(s) know they are being cared for and that they don’t have to stress about whether or not they will starve to death - I’m thinking of cats especially here who see the bottom of the food bowl and start to panic. Not on my watch!) Walk: I’ll be at your house at the time(s) we’ve discussed, put on the collar and leash, and set out on the adventure. My habit is to sing as I walk so that any other critter has a chance to get out of sight - a lesson learned by startling a skunk. It is important that I know if the neighborhood is friendly or if folks keep to themselves. Do(es) the dog(s) visit friends on the trail? or should I keep them on their own?
“Dante went above and beyond to care for my dogs during my trip. The weather was awful but Dante was undaunted and walked them anyway or played with them on the porch as conditions allowed. Very good communication and very responsible”
“Patricia is the best! She is so sweet and caring for our girl, Penny, and is willing to adapt and shift her schedule to help us with all of our last-minute work schedule changes. She is a life saver in helping us care for Penny!”
“Luca has been my dog's walker for 6 months now. He is very caring and attentive and my dog Brigid loves him. He's always willing to adapt, whether it's to a new cat or impromptu vet visit.”

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bernalillo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
