Pet Sitting Gavilan

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!

“Leah has done an amazing job with both of my frenchies, Zeus and Odin. She stops in to check on them, and since Odin is still a puppy (12 weeks) it can be a lot at times. Her attention to detail and commitment to treating my pups as if they’re her own really shows.”

“Brigit is reliable, kind, and overall wonderful with our puppy. She is very consistent and sends pictures / messages about how the stay was and is very flexible with my schedule.”

“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”

“Lauren did an amazing job watching my two kitties, Sushi and Miso! Miso is a bit of a shy guy but I knew she did great when she mentioned he began to warm up to her :) I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a pet sitter, very communicative throughout my trip and very sweet with them both! Thank you again Lauren!”

“Rachel took great care of our three cats while we were away for 10 days. She communicated well, and got pictures of cats at each day she visited (except for our known shy guy). I have no hesitation booking with her again. Thank you.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own.

“Angela is a delight. She spends a lot of time with each pet, doing things that make each one feel comfortable and seen. She even cozied up on the floor to make a newer member of the pet family feel like home. She also sends tons of pictures, which is great! I love seeing them being well taken care of. Definitely will ask to help again in the future.”

“Stephanie is wonderful, communicative, and my cats love her! She is responsive and sends a lot of pictures. I consider myself lucky to have found her!”

Mary G.

“This is the third time we have enlisted and entrusted CJ to care for our Blue Heller, Banjo. She does an excellent job of providing great care, sending photos during her in-home visit, and communicating with us while we're away. Having CJ drop in to check on Banjo and keep him active gives us definite peace of mind when we have to leave our sweet boy home for a few days. Would highly recommend CJ's Rover services.”

Chris J.

“Greg is amazing! He was able to help us out last minute and our Kenzie loved him. He spent time with both my cat and dog and gave them cuddles and attention when we were away. Highly recommend him!”

Samantha M.

“Tabatha saved the day! This was my first time using Rover here and luckily she was nearby and available. Extremely kind and generous, she played with my dogs as requested, took photos. I left them home for the first time in our new space in complete peace. Thank you, Tabatha.”

Mabel S.

“Alexandria always does such a great job watching my kitty 🥰 She makes sure to play with her and give her lots of attention. Thank you for your wonderful service!!”

Erica H.

“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”

Jordan G.

“Jesus has watched my fur babies twice now, and I know my babies are always safe with him! He’s very communicative and kind. Will absolutely ask for his help again when we travel!”

Kellan M.

“Amber was lovely to my cat and followed all the additional instructions I gave her very well. My boy warmed up to her a bit during her visit, which is always nice to see, as he can be very skittish. Her notes and pictures were great. She even came out to my house again before her visits started after I mistakenly gave her the mail key we needed. Amber is very friendly, prepared, and communicative! I will absolutely be reaching out again if I need the services!”

Menty W.

“Great pictures and no hassle! Thank you.”

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 full time at a veterinary clinic. My work days are Thursday-Sunday 8:30am-5:30pm, and half days on Mondays. I can always check on pets during lunch breaks, and I am available for overnights. I will always work with your pets needs, whether that is a walking schedule, medications, or other routines that are essential for their well being.

“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my Sofi! Lots of happy pictures!”

About: Hi! We’re Kathy and Val. We recently moved to Albuquerque from Santa Fe. We both work from home as contractors and are available for dog boarding and doggie day care at our home. We have 2 dogs, Odin and Brady, who are very friendly. We are very active and enjoy long walks, hikes, etc. We also enjoy cuddling with dogs and sharing lots of love with them. Since we work from home our schedule is flexible. We are available from 7am - 9pm. Daycare (full day) and boarding include a 1-2hr hike, depending on activity level and need of the dog. For boarding the hikes can be as often as every other day depending on their activity level and needs. I currently work from home so caring for my pet and the pets of others is a nice way for me to get off the computer and outside. Your dog will receive play-time, walks, cuddles, and treats (if allowed) from me! I try to stick to their routine/times of going out as much as possible.
