“Shannan did such an amazing job watching my two cats! With every visit I got an update and multiple pictures of them. I could tell she genuinely cared about them! She is very good with cats. Even my shy cat was all over her when she first came to learn how to take care of them!”


“Jennifer is by far the best catsitter I have ever had. She pays attention to every detail and has incredible patience and intuition with my super anxious cat. She followed every instruction to the letter and took extra care with leaving my home clean and secure. Highly recommend!!”


“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”

About: Hey there! I'm Tara Marksberry, and I absolutely adore animals! With 15 years of experience in pet sitting, veterinary offices, shelters, and boarding facilities, I've had the joy of working closely with furry friends of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I pride myself on being dedicated, punctual, and loving in all aspects of pet care. Your furry companions deserve nothing but the best, and I'm here to ensure they receive just that. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day! I work full time from 8:00am to 5:00pm on the east side of Albuquerque. I am completely comfortable staying in your home and will generally remain there unless I’m running to the store or heading to grab something for dinner. Depending on the proximity of your home to my employer I may be able to conduct afternoon drop in visits. Early morning feeding or medication schedules are no problem! While at your home your pets safety is my first priority. I will never leave your pet unattended in the yard and make a habit of checking gates and fences while we’re outside. I will never open the front door in a manner that could allow a pet to escape and will not invite any unauthorized guests or my personal pets into your home. I like to provide picture updates to you throughout the stay so you can rest easy knowing your pets are happy and healthy. I do prefer to have written care instructions to reference so I make sure I’m taking the best possible care of your pets.

About: Give your pets the compassionate care they deserve when you're away! My 15 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience, combined with over a decade of personal pet ownership, means your furry family members will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a special affinity for senior pets, understanding their unique routines and comforts, thanks to my experience with my older cat. Let me provide the peace of mind you need, knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved in my care. Currently going to school so I have plenty of time to check on your furr babies throughout the day. I am free early in the morning and evening. Rest assured, your cats and dogs will be in experienced and playful hands! My own two sweet indoor cats thrive with plenty of toys and two large scratchers, so I understand the importance of keeping indoor felines happy and entertained. I absolutely adore playing with my own cats and dogs, and I'll bring that same genuine love and active engagement to your pets, making sure they feel secure and well-cared for in their own environment.

“Susan is a super reliable and communicative cat sitter. Our kitty adores her, and we’ll continue booking with her as long as we can! Highly recommend.”


“Adi is such a wonderful help for my little fur baby. She is extremely patient, loving, and kind to my kitty. She communicates/sends pictures frequently, and is a reassuring presence. This was my first time using Rover and Adi made the entire process seamless! Thank you Adi!!!”


“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cats and the garden. The cats are happy and the garden looks great! Also, thank you for the extra above and beyond cleaning of the cat area.”


About: My first cat, Chee Chee was given to me when I was six years old and I’ve never looked back from being drawn to cats. Not only caring for my own cats I’ve cared for friends and neighbors cats whenever there was an opportunity. I even had my own cat colony that I cared for after going through a TNR program. I also worked at a pet store my senior year of high school which gave me an education on birds to reptiles and every critter in between. I know the importance of playtime for felines and I make clean eating bowls and litter boxes a priority. I’m available for cat drop-ins everyday of the week, unless otherwise noted in my schedule. You chose the times and I’ll accommodate you along with my other clients to make the most efficient driving route for the day. Open communication is encouraged. I will strive to replicate your routine to help keep your cat(s) comfortable. You’ll find me to be timely, honest, thorough and dependable when it comes to your cat(s) and your home.

“Fantastic. Can't say enough about her handling of what we thought was an unusual situation. An obviously pre-owned cat took up residence on our screen porch and while eager to be fed, was really craving attention. A mellow, neutered, ear-tipped critter looking for lap time couldn't be turned out even though we were leaving on a family trip. Blayne fed, watered and spent time with Felix, (yeah, we named him) while we were gone. Blayne will be seeing Felix again.”


About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My senior year of high school I was enrolled in a veterinary science course so I know the basics about their bodies and their needs. I’m currently working part time so I will have opportunities at different times in the day to make drop in visits for cats or dogs as well as take them on walks. I will take care of your animals as if they were my own. I truly have a love for animals so me mistreating them would never be a thought. I can ensure that I will treat your home with respect while doing drop in visits as well as take care of your animals the way you would like me to by up keeping any training they need to work on or keeping their daily habits consistent.
