“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”
“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.”
About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.
“Benjamin was an awesome walker!! He was so accomodating to our chaotic situation (we're injured/sick at the moment) and handled our two girls who both have their quirks very well. Total lifesaver. Highly recommended.”
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.
“Tabitha has truly been a life saver. She is quick to respond and she always has a great positive attitude. Whenever something comes up, she is always willing to help and my dog LOVES her!!”
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.
“Rachel is prompt and easy to talk to. She pays attention and was really great with our dogs, who are a handful to walk. We will be booking her for pet sitting this month for sure.”
“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: 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.
“Amie was amazing!! She has great communication skills and precisely followed through on everything we discussed prior to Ruby’s walks while I was out of town. Ruby was even better behaved for Amie than she is for us, I cannot recommend Amie enough!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I now have my own, she is a Great Dane and is very well trained. We are very active and love to go on walks or go to the park! I’m comfortable around any dog. I work part time so I am home a lot. If I do work, my sister is able to let the dogs out to go potty or just to help me out! I have a fenced yard and one dog. I only let her out there when I’m home. If I’m gone, she just stays inside. I do have a crate if needed!
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I work for my self.

Ethanee R.Star Sitter
“Ethanee took care of our very finicky 22-year-old cat for 9 days over the holidays. Our cat requires twice daily medication and has special dietary needs. We came home to one very happy, very healthy cat. She provided us daily updates, was meticulous about cleaning the litter box and keeping water cleaned and refilled. As a plus, the house was also spotless!!! Not only is our cat very finicky, we are also very picky about who we trust to care for our fur-baby. We will ask Ethanee to cat sit any time we leave. We cannot thank her enough for the care and attention she showered on our little Reggie.”

“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.”
