About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.

“Kristen was great! She checked in on my cats and spent some time with them every other day while taking care of all of their needs. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. It was super helpful that she was willing to bring in packages that got delivered and empty the roomba too!!”

“Laura has taken such amazing care of my cats. This was my second time booking her and it will surely not be my last!!! I have attachment anxiety with my cats, but she helps me through this by taking multiple amazing quality photos of them every day and writing a long note of what they have been doing every day. It truly helps me to relax knowing they are in such amazing hands. She always goes above and beyond and she left me a card and the cutest little whisker jar 🥺 I adore Laura and she will make sure your fur babies are in the best care when you are away!!! ❤️”

“Svetlana took excellent care of our two dogs and cat. You can tell she really loves animals and spent a lot of time with them. She was very well prepared and made sure she understood everything before we went out of town. She was reliable and communicated very well and sent tons of pictures while we were away. She also went above and beyond, playing fetch and bringing a new ball for them to play with. We will definitely book with Svetlana again in the future.”

“Tabatha saved the day! This was my first time using Rover here and luckily she was nearby and available. Extremely kind and generous, she played with my dogs as requested, took photos. I left them home for the first time in our new space in complete peace. Thank you, Tabatha.”

“Jennifer did an AMAZING job taking care of my cat! She was able to identify her needs very quickly, and I was able to spend some vacation peacefully :)”

“August was a perfect fit! Our rescue is very sensitive to new people and was immediately at ease during the meet and greet. While we were away, August was patient, kind and sweet whenever Mina would need more alone time or was curious to get to know him better. He was on time, responsive and reliable. We’ll absolutely work with August again in the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs and cats, as well as your typical farm animals like horses, cows, pics, sheep etc. I especially love dogs and helped to train our dogs on the farm, as well as my current little Dachshund Obi who is the sweetest little boy. My most recent elderly dog sitting was a 3-week in-home visit that required a lot of physical assistance, as well as administering medications. I also find joy in taking care of animals and making both them and their owners comfortable. I'm a retired circus performer that currently directs, choreographs and teaches. Because this is part-time work, I have lots of free time to be available for your pets. When I'm in town, I'm available almost any day of the week and can easily work around my part-time work. I'm currently offering in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight care in your home. I always make sure to proactively communicate with my clients so that I'm fully informed as to how to make your pet to still feel at home, even with you away. Making sure they're healthy, happy and comfortable are my main concerns.
“Cerah went above and beyond taking care of my shy Chickpea! They became friends almost immediately and even played together! I was away for 2 weeks and was worried before leaving my young cat alone at home for such a long time. Cerah made me feel like she was in good hands right away. She sent updates for every visit and I got back home to a happy kitty!”

“This is my first time using this service. I didn’t know what to expect. I had reach out to others and either never heard back or they just didn’t explain the process clearly. Finally I found Candice. Candice explained everything from the beginning to the end. We had a meet and great with Candice. She is a very sweet and loving person. I feel like we struck gold with her. She stayed in communication with us the entire time she was sitting out dog. She sent us pictures and even went above and beyond. In the pictures we can tell our dog was happy and comfortable with Candice. We are so grateful for her. We definitely recommend her and will be using her again. Thank you Candice!!”

Carmel pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rita was amazing! I have a diabetic cat, and this was the first time I left her with a sitter. Rita completely put my mind at ease. She sent me twice daily updates and pictures. She was knowledgeable about giving my cat her insulin injections, and she took perfect care of my cat while I was gone. I 100% recommend Rita, and I look forward to booking with her again.

Laura is a sweetheart of a person and super dependable. She went above and beyond with my two dogs, and did more than expected and also took care of them when they had tummy issues. I am so fortunate to have found her. Will definitely repeat and I am sure my dogs already miss her. Thank you Laura for your kindness and sweetness.

Kristen is absolutely exceptional—we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our dogs. From the very first visit, it was clear how naturally she connects with animals. Our dogs adore her, and that peace of mind is everything to us. She goes above and beyond during every drop-in, always sending thoughtful updates and photos so we can see how happy and well cared for they are. It’s obvious she treats them like her own. What truly sets Kristen apart is her flexibility and reliability. No matter how hectic or last-minute our schedule gets, she is always accommodating and professional. That level of consistency is rare. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves dogs, Kristen is it. We’re incredibly grateful to have found her and won’t be using anyone else.
