About: I'll take your dog out for some fun and enriching exercise while peacefully training them to calmly follow along at your side with no pulling, whining, or reacting! I am a dog trainer, field biologist, and academic coach driven to lead people towards a mutually fulfilling life with their dogs, and to share my knowledge and wonder of nature to promote stewardship and love for all sentient beings. I have cared for family pets (cats, dogs, fish, rodents, rabbits, etc) throughout my life, and I have performed extensive animal husbandry during my PhD in Animal Behavior and Ecology (I have even trained and rehabbed hummingbirds!). I began formally dog walking and training in January 2025 and have helped each of my clients transform their relationships with their dogs by learning how to efficiently and peacefully communicate. I hope to: 1) refresh your dog's basic obedience and floppy leash walking skills; 2) help you be aware of your dog's body language, and your own habits; and 3) empower you to become the leader your dog needs! I am happy to offer free nail checks and trimming! 1% of all proceeds will go to Blackhat Humane Society, a Navajo Nation rescue/ foster organization where I adopted my service dog Louie from! I am currently based in Albuquerque, and I have a very flexible work and life schedule, so I can likely accommodate requests for walks at any time and frequency! I have an extensive experience house and pet (and plant!) sitting for family and friends, and I always treat clients' dogs and homes with utmost respect. I am currently unable to host pets in my home.

About: I have raised almost 3 dogs now from puppy hood so I am very experienced with younger dogs. If your dogs are friendly I have my dog with me full time for them to play with. I am very patient and understanding and would feel honored to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible until your return. I can accommodate any breed big or small so be sure to choose myself when your in need of a walker or sitter. Pet care is one of the most important parts of my weekly routine. From taking care my own to my clients pets, I am a full time pet sitter so all of my work focus is on that. I have a comfortable home that is very pet friendly and other dogs of my own to keep them company. I can crate if needed just let me know what ever your pet would need best.

“Mikayla was very sweet with my kitty and took great care of him. I had previously started him on a new food before my trip was confirmed and he had diarrhea/ loose poop while I was gone. Mikayla kept me updated and cleaned up after him when he didnt make it to his box. I can’t say how much I appreciate her for taking such good care of him.”


“Even though she was unable to do a meet and greet with our Boxers, she took the assignment no problem!! She saved us at last moment when our regular Petsitter was booked and we are very grateful. She was very flexible and that was important to us! I would recommend this Sitter wholeheartedly. Thanks Ali! Long family”

I have had cats and dogs all my life, never not having them around.

About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.

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'm the dog dad to two goldendoodles, ages 4 and 15. I have experience with both big puppies and senior dogs. My pets are truly family so their needs are always at the top of my mind. Whether your dog has "big puppy energy" and needs to be walked and played with, or if they're a little more laid back and just want someone to hang out with, I'm happy to help. Our "golden girl" senior pup takes medications every day, so I'm experienced with administering oral medications and am more than willing to assist with any special needs that your pet may have. I currently work from home 3 days a week, and work a very stable, predictable schedule. I'm available on the weekends, as well as weekdays after 3:30 pm. I have a fenced yard with turf and two friendly dogs, ages 4 and 15. The 4 year old would love to play with your dog. My neighborhood is very quiet and walkable, and also has a park.

About: My name is Mary, I’m a full time dental hygiene student, and I’ve always loved taking care of animals even when I was working full time as a dental assistant. I would like to emphasize when I am busy, Monday through Thursday for school. I’m available after. If you are needing specific things done, Or wanting me to do specific hours, Please make sure you tell me when you are booking with me. My time is just as valuable as yours. The app doesn’t automatically tell you what times you want me there even if it has a time between 8 AM and 8 PM, That’s not specific and a lot of people have wanted me to stay just a specific amount of time. So let’s just make sure we are on the same page. Again, thank you guys so much for the opportunity. My schedule varies as I am a full-time dental hygiene student. 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.

Erich E.Star Sitter
“Erich is an excellent dog trainer. I have watched the transformation of his own pup (Louie) go from undisciplined, bad mannered, over excited, and easily frightened to almost service dog level in just a few months. Erich is also great with my dog (Kaya), and has taught me how to correct a few bad habits we have, which cleared up fairly quickly. I know Erich loves spending time with both his own and other peoples four-legged friends, whether it’s walking, training, playing, or just relaxing. I definitely recommend him.”


Inness H.
“Inness has always been one of the most thoughtful and caring people when it’s comes to handling pets. He has always been gentle and soft, but also stern and in control when it’s needed.

Patricia A.
“Hello, as Patricia's son I can personally attest first hand that Patricia is a very caring and responsible animal (pet) caregiver. Growing up we had numerous pets that included, Iguanas, Snakes, tarantula spider, birds, American hedgehogs and multiple dogs, Patricia always took care of them, from feeding to training. She learned and taught our Basset Hounds obedience and trained them for beauty shows as well as obedience and obstacle shows, she also has a certification in pet grooming. When it comes to pets, she is very knowledgeable. Patricia babysits for our two dogs, one cat and multiple fishes when we go out of town and we always feel reassured and can count on her to be there and properly take care of our pets. Also she seems to form a wonderful personal and lasting relationship with the pets. From my personal knowledge on her poet sitting and caring, I would recommend her as a pet sitter, you and your friendly pet will not regret having her as a caregiver.”
