“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.

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!😆❤️
About: I’ve cared for a variety of different critters throughout my life, ranging from dogs and cats to exotic animals and livestock. I’ve had pets of my own in addition to volunteering at the Bernalillo County animal shelter as a teen. I’ve fostered several animals until they found their forever homes and am deeply invested in providing animals the best care possible! Many older pets end up needing special care and I have plenty of experience in administering medications and accommodating physical disabilities. Your pet’s health matters to me and I am happy to follow specific instructions for them, no matter how detailed and particular. I currently have 3 cats and 5 fish tanks full of aquatic critters. If you need aquarium services in addition to your furry friends, I’m more than happy to oblige! I’ve pet sat for many different animals over the years, from tiny kittens to horses and chickens. Most of the animals I’ve cared for have been reoccurring arrangements because of the bond I’ve built with the animals. I look forward to creating those bonds with yours too! I’m a self employed artist and therefore have a lot of flexibility in my scheduling! I’ve done pop-ins for friends as early as 7am and as late as 11pm so whatever time you need will not be an issue. Whether you need someone for pop-ins while you’re at work or longer stretches of time with your pet, I’m your gal! I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pets, no matter how particular! Animals are individuals just like us and that means they often have their own quirks. I’ve cared for more anxious animals (and hyperactive ones) and will do whatever they need to feel comfortable during their time with me. Animal mental health is also important to me, so you can expect that I will spend time during every visit to give them mental stimulation and enrichment as well (whatever that looks like for your particular pet). Please don’t hesitate to tell me about your animal’s particular needs and sensitivities. We all deserve to feel comfortable and happy in our own home and I want them to feel that way when I’m around too!
“For some reason my cat didn’t want to come out for Sarah, but I believe she did everything I asked. She worked with my schedule and responded to requests. My door wasn’t fully closed when I got back, which was concerning but luckily no one got in or out, so this didn’t end up impacting the cat or security.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love and respect for animals of all kinds. Caring for them isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I have extensive experience around dogs through my father, who breeds and trains dogs for protection sports, so I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs of all sizes, including large and high-drive breeds. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also passionate about learning more about canine behavior and training, with the long-term goal of becoming a certified dog trainer and participating in dog shows. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra attention, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I’m happy to work around your routine and accommodate your pet’s needs. I am really good at communicating any schedule changes. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual personality and routine. In my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, affection, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any special routines. My goal is to give pets the same love, structure, and attention they receive from their own family.
“Kerianne was an amazing cat sitter. She did everything I asked perfectly with my senior cat that requires daily medicine. Her daily notes were great and thorough. I didnt have to worry at all while away for a long weekend. I would highly recommend her!”
“I’m so lucky to have found Natasha! She loved my kitty like her own — gave her snuggles, treats, medication, and sent tons of cute photos. I’d happily book with Natasha again. So grateful for her loving care. :)”
“Sara did a great job with taking care of my little buddy and great communication throughout the entire process. Gave me peace of mind while I was away from him for the first time. Would happily go with her again”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bernalillo. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
