“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”


“Mariah was amazing and my boys loved her. She updated us many times every day and also sent lots of photos. We will definitely be using her in the future!!”


“Geneva was super communicative, considerate, and attentive to the needs of my dog Zelee! I appreciated how much thought and care she put into her stay with Zelee. I would absolutely recommend her services and would trust her to watch Zelee again.”


“Brigit was excellent. Went out of her way to come meet my dogs first before the in house sitting. She was on time and took great care of my boys. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. One of my dogs had just dislocated his shoulder too and and I felt even more comfortable knowing with her experience and current schooling my boy would be in good hands and she would know what to do if an emergency came up.”


“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!”


“Very communicative, sent lots of pictures. My animals all had a blast going in walks and playing with Michael! 10/10 would recommend him for all your sitting needs!”


“Hossanna is awesome. She communicates often and responds quickly. She truly loves animals and I never worried for a moment while I was away. She is fantastic and I will work with her anytime.”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.

“Susana took such great care of our pup earlier this year that we rebooked her to stay with our dog, Remi, and my parents' dog, Winnie, when we went out of town for a family event. She's such a wonderful sitter. She was in touch each day, letting us know the boys were doing great, and she sent us pictures, too. Her communication was comforting and put my parents at ease that Winnie was having a great time even though they were away. We appreciate Susana so much and will definitely request her help again the next time we leave town.”


About: We are excited to offer a loving and happy family home environment for your pet. My three children and husband and I love all types of animals. Our home is a great setup for dogs, cats, or other pets. We have a fully fenced-in yard and a doggie door that leads to the backyard. We live about a ten minute walk from Jeanne Bellamah Community Center where we could take your dog if you want. I have several years of experience, from taking care of my own family pets growing up to volunteering every week for years at cat rescue shelters and dog rescue shelters. I was even employed for 6 months as a live-in dog and cat nanny for 3 pugs, including an elderly 21 year-old pug, and 20 kittens and cats! I have dog-sat and cat-sat and rat-sat on several occasions, volunteered at animal sanctuaries including a month-long stay at Farm Sanctuary, volunteering full-time caring for the resident animals there as well as a couple of week-long stays at Best Friends Animal Society. I really love animals! I know how it feels to wonder and worry about your fur baby at home while traveling, therefore it's very important to me that your beloved pet receives the most loving care as possible and we are committed to giving them all that they need while in our care. I normally only work 1 day a week away from home for about 6 hours, and my 3 year old daughter is always with me so your pet would be getting tons of love and attention, and then even more when everyone else gets home in the afternoon after school and work. The weekends will be totally open for all of us to have fun with your pet. We do have 2 guinea pigs so they'll stay locked in a separate room from the rest of the house while your pet is here. We have a fully fenced-in front and back yard as well as a doggy door. We will follow whatever rules you want for your dog so they are welcome to sleep on our beds with us if you want them to. We are all very active and I walk my kids to school so we can walk your dog as much as you like.

“Candace was a wonderful house sitter for our Great Dane. She was professional, responsible and most importantly, our pup was really happy when we got home after a week. Often our pup seems out of sorts after we get home, but this time he was so calm and happy that it was clear Candace took great care of him and spent lots of time with him. Thank you Candace! Candace also took great care of our home while we were away. We highly recommend Candace for house and dog sitting.”


“Christine did a great job! She spent a couple nights ant our house with our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs were happy and well cared for and our house was in perfect condition! Thanks Christine!”


“I feel like Kaylin gave my pets more attention than I'm usually able to give. She sent me frequent pics and videos and left the house probably cleaner than it was before.”



“This was our first time using a pet sitter and so glad we got Patricia. She was patient with our nervous dog and made sure to meet with her a few times before. She was great with all three of our dogs, sent plenty of pictures and communicated frequently. We will be using her again for future dog sitting.”


“Our first time using Christina L. and it was a joy. She came and stayed at our home and took care of our two fur babies and our home as if they were her own. She made us feel so comfortable that we will be booking again. It has been awhile since we felt so at ease leaving them behind. Would highly recommend”


““Aislyn did a fantastic job dog sitting overnight at our home. The dogs were happy and in great spirits when we returned, and the house looked amazing. We’ll definitely be calling on her again for several upcoming trips. Highly recommend!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Kimberly L.
“Hello! I have two four-legged girls that I love very much. I am a picky dog mom who always wants the best for them, as you do for yours. I occasionally have to go out of town and want to be sure they are well cared for. I lost my last caregiver, so I did lots of research in my community and had good reports on Kimberly. She certainly lived up to her recommendations, and perhaps even exceeded them. She understands dogs, and after meeting my pitties, she was happy to care for them. We arranged for check-in calls, she took them for walks and played with them. I had a special request for certain rubs and massages, and it was no problem. When I picked up my girls, they were happy, clean, and energetic. I think you can be confident in Kimberly's care for your fur babies.”

Whether your fur baby has a lot of energy, or has some special needs, she'll give them the best personalized care and attention. She's really awesome!”

Candelmen pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jenny is literally “a dream”! This is the first time in 2 years that I didn’t worry one minute. My cat was well taken care of and my house was better than I left it! I will use Jenny as long as she wants us! BTW- her communication and daily pics were icing on the cake.

Cindi took marvelous care of Trixie, my 2 1/2 year-old cavalier! Trixie was very relaxed when I came home and I really appreciated all the great photographs and keeping in touch with me as I asked! I would definitely have Cindi care for my dogs going forward! The house was immaculate. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Amani was amazing with my 10 week old puppy and took excellent care of her in my home all day! She has a high degree of professionalism and is friendly, responsible, punctual, and responsive. I came home to a very happy pup. Looking forward to booking Amani again in the future!

Syanne did an amazing job taking care of our 3 fur babies. She was so patient with them and won them over easily. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were receiving great care. Syanne was always available and gave updates while we were away. We will definitely use her services again!

Stephanie is fantastic! She was responsive and prepared - even more than me! As a pet parent of not only a senior pet, but one receiving chemo treatments, I was nervous about leaving his care up to someone else, but Stephanie had me completely at ease! We started off with an out-of-home meet & greet at my apartment complex's dog park, and both dogs loved her. <3 We then went to tour the house and meet my cat. Stephanie was incredibly thoughtful, remembering to ask important questions about the pet's habits and care. She was also completely at ease giving medication, even joining in on our demo. During the stay, Stephanie sent me regular updates with photos, which I greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Stephanie enough for your pet's care. I will be using her again should I leave town where I can't bring my pets with me.
