“Leah was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two dogs, and really listened to my instructions on my shy/skittish dog! She left my place clean, and my dogs were well cared for! Would absolutely hire her again!!”

“Lauren did an excellent job caring for our pups and home while we were away for a week. She sent picture/video updates frequently and was very responsive any time we communicated with her. Would highly recommend!”

About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”

“Brigit was amazing! She was super quick to respond and left me with a great feeling knowing that my pups were in great hands! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. Highly recommend her and I will be using her again!”


“We love Lam! From the moment we met her, we felt at ease & we could tell our pup felt it too! Definitely recommend - great care & a wonderful person!”

“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“Hossanna was amazing with my fur babies. She was calm and patient with one of the 2 kids. She did warmed up to Hossanna and the pictures were amazing. She gave the care I wanted and will definitely book her again. She's part of this family and im a cautious Mom.”


“Vincent has watch our dogs, and home, twice. He is very professional, courteous, dependable, and communicates well. It gives great peace of mind knowing that our dogs are being well cared for in their own home when we are away. Thank you, Vincent! Looking forward to next time.”

Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7 years. I love house sitting and spending time cuddling with pups or playing outside with them. I have experience giving elder dogs medications or following detailed care instructions. I have a full-time job and work in the office Monday through Thursday. Otherwise, I’m available to be with your pup at home taking care of them. I’m familiar with crate training, as I crate my own dogs when I’m gone. I’m always happy to a walk through of how to lock things up and set up things to keep your fur babies safe. For walking, I’ve used harnesses and gentle leads.
“Greg was just as fantastic as I expected him to be. He treated my dear canines as if they were his own. He came back to return our key and was greeted enthusiastically by all three, which is the absolute best review I think anyone here could receive. I more travel planned later this year and Greg is at the top of my list for taking care of my furry, four-legged kids when that time comes.”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
“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!”

“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”

“Colby was an excellent pet sitter! Enjoyable to meet, thoughtful, attentive, responsible. Very sweet with my animals. Sent regular photos and updates and was available for an extra night when I had a flight issue. I highly recommend Colby!”

“Very communicative and easy to get ahold of. They were able to extend out stay last minute due to a funeral, which we (and the dogs!) really appreciated. House looks great on return and dogs are well cared for. Our go-to family for dog sitting.”

About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Downtown is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Downtown
Greg provided outstanding service for our four dogs and watching and caring for our home while we were gone. He provided frequent updates and pics, and our doggies did well with him. Our house was pristine When we returned. We highly recommend him for all your pet needs!
When Colton first arrived at my house for a meet and greet my cats came out to meet him instead of hiding. My dog who barks at nearly everyone and is shy didn't bark and wanted to be around him. Colton is a gentle soul, very attentive and asks great questions. He took care of my three Maine Coons, my chickens and koi while I was gone a week. If he was unsure he didn't hesitate to contact me. He sent photo updates and checked in with me regularly. He followed my instructions perfectly. When I got home the house was clean and tidy. Colton is amazing. I'm so happy I found him.

Larkin was great at communicating and taking care of my kitten! She’s very friendly and took great care of our house as well. My kitten, who is often skittish around new people, was super comfortable with her and seemed content when I got home. So glad to have found such a responsible and kind person to hangout with my pet!

Sheri was an amazing dog sitter for us! She was extremely responsive, and kept us in the loop daily with what was going on. Sent pictures of the dogs every morning and let us know how they were doing. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got back! Would recommend Sheri every time.

Riley was great - she is communicative, sweet, and took good care of my pup and house! My dog was on a couple of meds so was feeling off during her stay and she made sure to give him his meds and was understanding of his weird little behaviors. I had total peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were gone. Thanks you!! 😊

Rose is tremendous. she is sweet and the dog and 3 cats love her. She is responsible and respectful of staying in someone else's home. I am an anxious pet mama and really didn't worry at all with her in charge. she sent tons of great pictures and updates. I have already reserved her for 2 more stays, so happy to have her on our team.
