“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”
“My dog is often skittish with new people and doesn't let them touch him right away. That usually takes a while. He felt comfortable with Benjamin and let him pet him right away! Benjamin has a lot of experience with different dogs and it shows with his care and patience. I highly recommend!”
“Eden is great. She is very pleasant and calm. She has been walking my Australian Cattle Dog for just over a week, and she does just what we asked her to do which was to poop her out some! Mission accomplished!! Thank you Eden!”
About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.
“We loved Greg and miss him. He ALWAYS took great care of Athena and was available if our schedules changed. If we’re ever in Albuquerque again we’ll contact him again”
“TJ is AWESOME!!!!! My dog is so excited and happy to spend time with him on his walks. I am so grateful that he has been able to give him attention and exercise while I am laid up with an injury.”
About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.
“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”
About: I have had pets all my life and looked after friend's and family's pets in the U.S. and Mexico. I love getting to know their habits and quirks and being their buddy, while they're people were away. I am a remote graphic designer and do landscaping. My schedule is very flexible and enjoy taking dogs for walks and sitting/playing with cats. I use Rover when I travel and know what it's like to be away from your pets. I love spending time with pets, giving them the extra care when their people are away. I think giving people the freedom to travel and work, and still take great care of their pets is very important.
About: - PetTech 6.5 hour CPR and First Aid training (expires April 2027) - Westside Animal Shelter dog walker, volunteer experience - Experienced with multiple types of dogs (large breed, reactive, puppies, etc.) - Comfortable with detailed care instructions and special needs I take pride in providing your fur babies with attentive and active care. My goal is to provide clients with the peace of mind that their home and animals will be treated with care and respect while they are away. Please reach out if you have any questions! I work part-time (Thursday-Saturday 3-8pm) and offer same day availability during the weekday. I am available Sunday-Wednesday for boarding, daycare, and housesitting. I am available on holiday weekends with at least one week notice. My home has a large, high fenced backyard and is pet friendly. My dog is a dog's dog and loves nothing more than a play date. While not under my active supervision, I can offer a kennel in a temperature controlled environment. In my client's home, I am respectful to any house rules and special requests. I want you and your animals to feel comfortable and I am happy to reinforce your routine while you are away.
About: For over 14 years, I cared for two deeply loved dogs - Charlie and Indiana - through every stage of their lives, including special diets, medications, and the realities of aging. I’ve handled everything from leash pulling to pet reactivity, separation anxiety to senior care, and understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. Since losing both of them, I’ve felt the pull to keep sharing that care. I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet - it brings peace when you’re away. I’ve been that person for family and friends for years, and I’d be honored to be that for you, too. In addition to providing a fun and safe environment, I have two goals when pet sitting: 1. Providing care that feels like home, even when you’re away 2. Becoming your pet’s second favorite person! I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule. I will be home with your pet the entire workday, making walks, potty breaks and snuggles easy! I can typically cater the rest of my schedule to your pet’s needs as well. They’re the priority when I’m sitting ❤️ I know how important it is to give each pet the unique care they need. Following your care instructions and preferences is my guarantee. No matter your pet’s age, size or needs, they will be safe, snuggled and secure in the way that suits them best.
About: Since I started providing pet care through Rover, I have gained experience caring for older dogs, puppies, dogs with special hearing needs, and dogs and cats with strict allergies or dietary restrictions. I have grown up taking care of my family's dogs and cats and am experienced with large, medium, and small dogs, old and young dogs and cats, and pets with a variety of backgrounds and stories. I've been dog-walking and pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends intermittently since I was 11. I have also helped friends pet-sit on Rover before and I love getting to know new dogs and cats because each pet is so unique. I work Monday-Thursday from 8am-4:30pm, which is why I list myself as fully available Thursday evenings-Sundays. I am passionate about spending time with and caring for animals, but my current home does not allow pets. Walking and being active outside is very important to my daily routine already and I'd love to help make walking and being outside part of your pet's routine as well! Having grown up with a range of dog personalities, I understand that unpredictable scenarios and reactions can happen and that it's important to be very alert and focused when taking care of pets - especially when they are around new people.
About: My father is a veterinarian and I have been a dog parent from puppy to end of life for three different dogs. I've been helping friends and family with their pets as well. I'm active, love to hike and welcome a dog if they are appropriate for the trail. I work from home and have a lovely fenced back yard in a Central Phoenix neighborhood. There are some breeds I am not a good fit for: Pitbulls, German Shephards and any aggresive dog I work from home and easily take play, walk and feeding breaks every 2 hrs. I am charge of my schedule. I care about your pet as if it's my own and do not believe in letting dogs just sit and sleep all day without joy, affection and stimulation. I have a fenced yard and only care for pets in my home. I don't accept more than 1 pet though I can walk more than one pet per day
About: Hello! I am very experienced in any and all dog needs. I work from home, can provide enriching walks, and also have a huge fenced in back yard. I live with one very well trained and friendly dog of my own and am passionate about giving dogs amazing experiences! I work from home, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like! Typically, I leave my house for the gym once a day. I take care of every dog like they are my own. I have one well-trained and friendly pup of my own that yours can play with while they are here! There is a large and safe area for them to run around outside, as well as be cared for inside. No rooms or surfaces are off limits for pets, aside from sleeping in my bed.
About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.
About: Since I was 3 yrs I've cared for animals. Mostly dogs and cats of all kinds. Right now I own two cats. Loki and Bella. Currently I'm available to house sit dogs or cats in my home. As well as checking on them at others houses. Anytime day or night. There is a house as well as a fenced backyard for dogs. Also I'm available to walk and play anytime throughout the day. Extra time for cuddles as well.

Marilee W.
“We were in Europe for 5 weeks when we received notice our booked sitter needed to leave town. Fortunately, Marilee could fill in! When we had a wedding out of state a month after our return, Marilee was our first call. Our furry toddler Yoda clearly took to Marilee's care and attention during our first sit experience. It is unnerving to lose a caretaker, but Marilee filled the gap so well that when Marilee visited our home for an official orientation, Yoda was happy to see her and receive her attention. Returning from the long weekend, now our second opportunity to use Marilee, Yoda was not traumatized by us leaving. And we suspect, if Marilee visited in the near future, Yoda would again be glad to see her. It is hard to leave a pet, but Marilee sent unexpected photos and reports of Yoda's activities and overall status which also meant a lot.”
Lauren B.
“Lauren is the only person I trust with all my dogs. We have a Dane/mastiff, German shepherd, cattle dog mix and hound mix. She has watched my pack for years and always does so with the utmost love and care. From walks to the park, playing ball and administering medications (both by mouth and sub q) she has done it all! My dogs all have unique behaviors, quirks and medical needs and she pays special attention to each of them. It’s such a relief to leave them in such good hands!”
Jace D.
“Jace is my go to pet sitter!! She always shows my boy (an 80 lb pitbull/shepherd mix) the same love that I do. She gives cuddles, walks, and everything in between. She's also neat and respectful whenever she's in my home. Highly recommend!”
Toli T.
“I'm incredibly grateful to have found Toli as my dog-sitter. Her dedication and love for pets shines through so brightly! She is highly professional and has such attention to detail - she took the time to understand my dog's specific needs and behaviors, and spent time asking me questions to learn all about him. My dog loves her, and they really have a special bond! Also, her daily updates and photos really helped with my separation anxiety. I highly recommend Toli to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring loving dog-sitter.”
Diane D.Star Sitter
“Diane is a trusted neighbor and friend who has watched my dog Charlie for several years while I've been out of town. She has taken Charlie into her home, and also stayed in my home sometimes to make Charlie feel more comfortable. She is the best at making sure Charlie gets play time, walks, healthy food, and makes new friends. Charlie loves her and can't wait to spend more time with her. Diane will treat your dog like her own. She puts all of her love and kindness into your pet and making sure that they receive exceptional care. She is easy to communicate with and sends photos so you can check in on your pet while you're gone. I can't recommend her enough!”

Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them. With the Rover app, get a comprehensive Rover Card from your dog walker that includes:
- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
