“We booked our hyper 1 year old Goldendoodle. Kimberly was a wonderful sitter. We were passing through the area on a cross country move and had plans to visit friends, tour projects and eat lunch. I made a last minute decision to book and Kimberly was accommodating. I knew when k dropped off my dog he was in good hands. Kimberly sent me photos during the stay. My dog was happy at pick up I can tell he had a good stay”

“Charles and Cadence are so kind and caring, I felt extremely safe and relieved to leave my 2 fur babies with them. They did everything to give the pups a great stay.”

“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much, highly recommended. I felt safe and secure leaving my little baby with them today, and I’ll definitely keep them in mind in the future.”

About: I have a 5-year old dog, Roxy, who is very sweet and loves making new dog friends. We live in a home with a fenced-in yard and about one block from a park that is great for dog walks. I can provide a large crate if needed. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m typically available for contact unless I’m in a meeting, but will respond soon after. Roxy gets backyard playtime and walks around the park daily. She eats one large bowl of food in the evening and also receives treats. Of course I can accommodate your dog’s schedule and needs.

About: ☀️ Hi there! We’re Holly & Andrew! We’re a work-from-home couple dedicated to rescuing and caring for animals in New Mexico. We’re the founders of Pitties and Kitties Rescue of New Mexico, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.🐾 We welcome all dogs and we can handle most behavioral or medical needs. With more than 8 years of fostering and volunteering across multiple organizations, we’ve worked with just about every personality and condition imaginable! Holly also brings a year of veterinary office experience and a year of working as a foster coordinator in a shelter. We’ve been hosting pups on Rover for about 2 years, and we love it! Our yard is fully enclosed with a secure 6-ft concrete/wood fence for playtime and safety. 📚 Experience Highlights: • 3+ years operating our own rescue, 8+ years fostering/volunteering with shelters and rescues, 2+ years boarding dogs with Rover • Extensive experience with shy dogs, quirky behavioral dogs, reactive dogs, special-needs dogs, and everything in between (including “normal” dogs, if there is such a thing😄) • Skilled in reading dog body language and supporting nervous or reactive pups • Daily hands-on interaction with dogs thanks to our rescue work and boarding schedule 🐾 Special Accommodations We’re Happy to Provide: 🐶 Dog Selective or Not Dog Friendly? Our home is fully baby-gated to allow complete separation as needed between common areas such as our living room, hallway, and bedrooms/offices. We can keep your pup comfortably separated the entire stay if needed. We also have a gated pen in our living room so more selective dogs can still hang out while the other dogs are out! We have several yards that are all fenced to ensure separation as well. 💊 Medical Needs? Holly has vet clinic experience and we’ve cared for many medical fosters. We can confidently assist with most routines and medications, just let us know instructions! We may incur an extra charge of up to $10/day depending on the medical needs, which includes adding pills to meals. 🫣 Shy or Wary of Strangers/Men? We adore the shy babies! We go slow, respect boundaries, and help them feel safe and loved. (They’re Holly’s favorite 🥹) 🍖 Resource Guarding? We separate feeding by default and can manage guarding around toys, people, or other items as needed. ❤️ Bottom Line We truly believe every dog deserves a safe place where they feel comfortable. If your pup has medical or behavioral quirks, that’s okay! Just share anything helpful during booking or the meet & greet 💛 ——————————————————— 🐕Routine and Environment: We work from home full-time, so pups are with us the vast majority of the day! A typical routine looks like: 🌅 Morning: • Potty break first thing • Breakfast served separately to keep everyone safe and comfortable • Calm settling time while we start our workday ☀️ Daytime: • Regular potty breaks every 2–4 hours, can be more frequent if needed • Supervised playtime in our offices, living room, and fenced yard • Occasional short errands, no more than 4–6 hours away 🌙 Evening & Bedtime: • Dinner served separately • Relaxing wind-down and final potty break 😴 Rest & Safety: We crate our personal dogs anytime we’re away and at night. Your dog can: ✅ Sleep or rest in their own crate or in one of our crates near our dogs in the living room, see more about crating below in additional information. 😌Couches and Dog Beds: Dogs are welcome to get comfy on the couch or our various dog beds. If you prefer a no-furniture policy, we’re happy to stick to your rules to keep routines consistent. ——————————————————— 🏡 Home Setup: Our backyard is fully enclosed with a secure 6-ft concrete/wood fence, perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. 🏊 Pool Safety: We have an in-ground pool, but pets are never left unattended outside. Outdoor time is always supervised for everyone’s safety. For safety and the health of all animals in our care: ✅ Our personal dogs are spayed/neutered ✅ All household pets are kept up-to-date on vaccinations ✅We do not require your animals to be vaccinated but please see the additional information section about unvaccinated animals. We are committed to providing a comfortable, structured, and loving environment where your dog can feel right at home! 🐶💛
“This is my first time using Rover and I am happy with the service. I met Emily W., she watch my 8 week puppy Wrigley. Emily was wonderful, she took care of Wrigley as if she was her own. I am grateful to Emily. Thank you!! I will most definitely book with Emily again.”

Wendy was great. She was really good with Farley even when he was nervous about staying at her house and took extra steps to make sure he ate. She sent updates and photos which is always nice. She was also patient and flexible with our schedule changes. I would definitely book with Wendy again.

Thank you so much for spending the day with Sophie. With the loss of her best dog bud Charlie, she was not herself and seemed lost. A day with you and Shiso is just what she needed. We appreciate you and the care and kindness you have always given to our pups. 🐾
Suzanne provided a safe space for my dog to play and socialize with her dog, Chaco. She supervised the dogs and ensured that all was well. My dog really enjoyed her experience at Suzanne's house, with Chaco! It was just the right experience for socialization and play that I was looking for.
