“We felt so good leaving our two boys with Karen! She took great care of them, and we could tell that she really loves dogs. Lots of pictures and the boys had the time of their lives on her beautiful property. We will definitely book a stay again.”

“Maellen was amazing with my dog Luna. Luna is very afraid of new people but warmed up to Maellen very quickly. She loved all the walks and love Maellen gave her! I will definitely book her for any and all future trips. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I couldn't be happier. Our experience with Jaime couldn't have been more flawless. I'm so glad we made this choice, I feel like our dog Chelsea was having a vacation of her own and not just in a kennel. Jaime's dogs were friendly and a perfect match. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea was as disappointed to come as we were to end our vacation. Highest recommendations.”

“Jamie & Patrick did a great job of watching Maggie. They were incredibly accommodating with my last minute booking - including letting me drop her off earlier than planned and pick her up a little later when my return took a little longer than expected. I would absolutely use them again.”

“My fur baby absolutely loved her time with Hannah! She cared for her as I would. I would 100% recommend Hannah and her pet sitting services! Thank you Hannah was taking such phenomenal care of my baby!”

“Joshua did an excellent job taking care of our dog. He communicates quickly and worked with us to schedule drop off and pick up. He is always kind and thoughtful with our dog!”

“Courtnay was very kind to my little dog Leve. If/when I need doggy sitting, I will use Courtnay again. I received daily photos of Leve being loved on, including belly rubs.”

“Great place to drop off our dog while visiting the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! Our normally shy pup warmed up to Holly quickly, which says a lot. Holly & Robert were wonderful hosts — would definitely book again when we're back in town.”

“Sadie was very happy staying with Mina! She took great care of her and the daily communication was wonderful. I will definitely be asking Mina to watch Sadie in the future.”


“Jessa and Kevin took care of Milly for 11 days and I’m pretty sure Milly felt like she was on the vacation of her dreams. I got updates of her and how she’s doing everyday and Milly was well taken care of! Both Jessa and Kevin really treated Milly like she was their own and I was able to be on my trip worry-free. I will be booking with them again!”

“A great sitter for our pup! She boarded with Onrae for 8 nights and was well cared for during her stay! We received pix and videos often while we were gone, which was reassuring for us as we had not left her before. Cali says, "Thanks, Onrae, for the great care!!"”

“It’s scary to leave your pet with someone you don’t know but Miranda was so nice and answered all my questions so I felt more at ease leaving Fred in her care. She sent plenty of pictures and was ok with me texting to check in whenever I got worried. Fred was clean and happy when we picked him up. It was midday so she even picked him up and brought him to the car so he wouldn’t burn his paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to put Fred in her care again if needed.”

“Absolutely 5⭐️. Communication was great. Pictures and videos helped set our minds at ease while we were away. My dogs are large (Great Dane and a Bernadoodle) and not everyone can handle them. We will certainly use Leslie and James again!”

“Brian was awesome! I was having a hard time finding a kennel to board Doodles, they were either full or not answering the phones at all. A friend suggest I try rover and I am glad I did! Doodles is 15y olds, deaf and blind, she needs a little more love and attention with thing like going outside or walking around. Brian was able to not only take her on short notice, he was very communicative to make sure he was able to care for her properly and sent me pictures every day so I knew she was okay. I highly recommend Brian and will use him again if I ever need to leave Doodles in someone else’s care again.”

About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.
“Excellent dog sitter. Excellent communication. I got a pawgress report from the sitter to let me know our dog was doing well, which I appreciated very much. Will use this sitter again without hesitation”

“Great communication with text and pictures daily she took extra special care of our pup! She made him feel loved! Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”

“I have written a 5-star review for Celeste before, and am writing another one because she really went above and beyond this last time we left our dog with her! We ran into travel issues and couldn't get home until a full day and a half later than expected; Celeste was so flexible and very responsive through the whole time, and took such good care of our dog! He absolutely adores going to Celeste's and his little tail starts going like a fan whenever we go near her place. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chical
This was Pete's second stay with Karen. He's a high energy dog and loves running around Karen's large property. The "dog house" is comfortable and safe and she is wonderful about sending updates, photos and videos. Karen really cares about her clients and I trust her without reservation to take great care of Pete.
Thank you to Karen. She was wonderful with my dog Lulu. She kept me updated everyday with activities they did during the day. I was nervous leaving my Lulu for the first time and she completely put my mind at ease with the pictures and communication. Lulu loved Karen and the treats she sent home with us. Thank you and we will be back for another stay.

Our pups absolutely loved staying with Karen. She kept us updated and sent multiple pictures throughout each day of their stay! She was also very willing to work with our pups and was very flexible! We would 100% recommended Karen for anyone looking for a dog sitter/boarding, she was the best!

Scott and Jane gave excellent care to my Betty Boo during my week long absence. The facility is large with a segregation area The kennel building is snug and well kept. There is a large Astro turf area so the doggies don’t track in mud and dirt. My dog likes and bonded with Scott and Jane. I’ll be using their services again. Kudos to a well run and caring boarding facility.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Chical home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Chical.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Chical sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NM ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
