“Max was great with our dog! He was attentive to detail and asked questions to make sure our dog was being well taken care of. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“We are thrilled to find such a great pet sitter! Our 2 small dogs love Marilyn! She took great care of them, taking them for walks and she sent pictures during the stay, which was very nice!! We have trust and co fierce in her, and have already booked her again!”
“Val sit my fur babies twice now and she is phenomenal! My animals were happy when I got home and she did everything I asked. She even went back to stay with my golden retriever Karma when my flight was canceled and I was stuck out of town an additional night. I will definitely be having Val stay with my fur babies again the next time I’m away.”
“Cindi does a wonderful job with dog sitting. Trixie was calm and relaxed and happy when we got home. The house was clean and tidy and when my plane was late, Cindi was willing to help me (if needed) the following day. Fortunately, I made it home! Highly recommend.”
“Luca was amazing! We had a last minute trip and he was incredibly responsive and was able to meet up for a meet and greet very quickly. He took amazing care of our pup and our home for a few days while we were out of town. He sent frequent updates and pictures and overall was very communicative. Our dog was happy and our house was cleaner than we left it! 15/10, we will absolutely be using Luca again in the future and I recommend you do too!”
“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”
“Brigit will be our go to pet/housesitter from now on. She took wonderful, thoughtful care of our senior pups. Our dogs definitely bonded with her during her stay. She was timely and reliable. Brigit is also very sweet and kind!”
“Malcom did a terrific job taking care of our two dogs and the rest of the house. His communication was excellent and timely. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs.”
“Heaven took extraordinary care of our pups while we were away. We were well informed throughout and our pups were comfortable with her. Definitely would work with her again!”
About: I have cared for an array of animals over the years including dogs, cats, reptiles, chickens and even pet rats! I deeply enjoy time spent with animals which is why housesitting has always been ideal for me! I myself have multiple dogs and cats that are well cared for and your animals will receive the same attention and care! I am a student at UNM, so most morning I do have to head to campus around 9-10 am. All morning care would be handled before then. My classes have me on campus no longer than 4-5 hours before I would be able to check on your animals. Weekends I work 6-9 hour shifts, but if care requires less gaps between visits this time can be taken off to give your pets around the clock care. This would require at minimum 2 weeks notice and cannot be guaranteed. I am comfortable giving pill or liquid medication for your pets. As well as walking any size dog as long as some leash training is in place. I normally will wash the sheets and towels used if staying overnight! I am very cleanly and will leave your home and pets clean or cleaner than when yall left!
“Abrianna was great! Kind, conscientious, my beasties loved her and happy when we got home. House was clean. She kept in great communication with us and was just a delight. We will definitely use her again.”
“Elena helped us out at the last minute after another sitter cancelled and we couldn’t be more grateful that it worked out that way. She was very communicative, honest, and reliable. She went above and beyond to send us lots of pictures. We felt relieved to leave our pup in her care and she’s now our top choice for a petsitter. Thanks Elena!”
“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”
“Patricia was wonderful with Layla. She walked her, played and talked to her and provided love with lots of belly rubs. Followed all feeding instructions and vitamin regimen. Thank you, would definitely ask her again to sit with my fur baby.”
“Really appreciated that Susanna is responsive and genuinely cares for our pets and home. She has helped us 3x already and grateful to have a consistent pet and home sitter.”
“Jen was great with our anxious dog Morty! She is experienced with anxious dogs and it shows. She met him where he was and was so patient with him. Will happily book with her again.”
Big Bend pet parents share their Rover experiences
Arman was great with our two pups! Since it was a longer trip he walked them for us as well as staying at the house which was huge since they are both very active and need time outside every day. Quick to respond and took good care of the house too. Will definitely book again.
Cindi does a wonderful job with dog sitting. Trixie was calm and relaxed and happy when we got home. The house was clean and tidy and when my plane was late, Cindi was willing to help me (if needed) the following day. Fortunately, I made it home! Highly recommend.
We are thrilled to find such a great pet sitter! Our 2 small dogs love Marilyn! She took great care of them, taking them for walks and she sent pictures during the stay, which was very nice!! We have trust and co fierce in her, and have already booked her again!
Paulina is great and made this such a smooth experience. Not only did she take our booking on a short notice, but also updated us with messages and photos and I felt stress free on my trip knowing my dogs were in good hands! I would definitely book Paulina again! Thank you!
Yet again, Autumn went above and beyond in taking care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She sent awesome pictures that showed how well they were getting along, and stayed an extra night when I had to change my travel plans. I trust Autumn completely with my animals, and my animals are my life. I know that she loves my fur kids, too. Very grateful to have found her!
This is my second time having Aislyn take care of my animals and couldn’t recommend them more. Every one of my requests was followed and the dogs and cat were happy and healthy when I got home. Aislyn made me feel super comfortable since this was the longest I’d be away in nearly 10 years. When a flight snafu caused me to need to extend care for another 24 hours, Aislyn was super flexible and quick to reply so I could focus on the stressful travel changes. If I ever go out of town again, I wouldn’t care to use anyone else!
Candace took wonderful care of our dogs over Christmas! She was attentive, reliable, and handled everything with ease, including one of our dogs who requires a little extra patience. Coming home to happy dogs and a clean house was such a relief. We were very impressed and are excited to have found someone we can rely on for our future petsitting needs. We would not hesitate to use Candace again!
Sara is incredible!! She stayed at our house to watch our two cats for a week. We're always nervous trusting someone new with our pets, but Sara put out mind at ease even from the meet and greet with her obvious knowledge and passion. We got frequent updates/photos, she was very accommodating of our kitties quirks, and happy to help with small extra requests (checking mail, putting food out for outdoor cats, etc). When we got back home, everything was clean and tidy, and all critters were happy. Communication, friendliness, cleanliness, and level of care all 10/10. Can't recommend Sara enough, hope she's available in the future!
I cannot recommend Sandra enough!! She is truly an exceptional pet sitter. From the moment she first met my pets, it was clear she had a natural gift for connecting with animals. My dog, who is usually timid, warmed up to her instantly, and my cat (a certified professional skeptic) took a liking to her — which says everything. Throughout the entire week and half I was out of town, Sandra went above and beyond. They followed every care detail perfectly, kept the feeding and schedule consistent, and took the time to play, cuddle, and comfort both pets so they never felt lonely. I received frequent updates with photos and thoughtful notes that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. When I returned home, my pets were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved — my dog even looked around the house expecting their new best friend to still be there. The house was spotless, food and water bowls clean, and everything in perfect order. She even left me a thank you note! If you’re searching for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, genuinely caring, and treats your pets like their own, stop looking — Sandra is the one. I am so incredibly grateful for the peace of mind she provided while I was away. I will absolutely be booking with her again! Five stars truly don’t feel like enough.
Renee would be given more than five stars if that were an option! She took wonderful care of our cat and dog, who has eye care needs. We returned from our trip to two very happy furry babies! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in such loving hands. I highly recommend, Renee! Our furry babies, loved her!
Patricia always takes excellent care of my pup! She seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with him and it’s amazing to feel like I’m leaving him with someone who cares about him. Her extensive experience also helps make my time away worry free. I could not recommend Patricia more strongly.
