“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”
“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She was here when she said she would be. Very prompt which was important due to the fact that our cat Speedy needs his meds at the same time each day. She cleaned up after feedings of wet food and sent pix of our boys, which was really nice to receive. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family. Thank you Amanda! ;o)”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.
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.
“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!”

“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”

“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

“Rhiannon watched our cats during our Christmas vacation and we knew they were in great hands. She was very sweet with them, and we were so grateful to have her as our sitter. We definitely recommend Rhiannon, and will go to her first if we need pet sitting services in the future. Thanks again Rhiannon! -Aaron and Emily”

About: I have had several animals over the years. Dogs, Cats, Small birds, Fish and small reptiles. All so very different. Have had curious pups, one who obtained an eye injury from our cat requiring eyedrops. Elderly dogs that have sensitive needs and care. Experienced in administrating minor meds or changing dressings if needed. Had a husky who was an escape artist, very familiar with securing yards, fencing, holes or gates. Became a fast runner too! Paid for boarding for my dogs that I was not pleased about, maybe because mine are a bit spoiled? Animals are not just pets, they are part of the family! I work during the day 8-5pm Monday through Friday. I can check on pets before and after work and any time on the weekends. Able to do night stays if needed. My dogs are crate trained for bed or mischief if it happens. They get switched every 2-4 hrs or so for potty breaks. I don’t leave them outside when weather is extreme (hot,cold or rainy). I don’t play tug a war as Caesar states it’s an aggressive game for dogs. I like to make dogs earn their treats if it’s only a simple sit…😎
About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs and learned to care for them. I have a cat of my own and have always helped my children care for their doggos. They deserve nothing but the best. I work M-F, 8am-5pm. I am available in the evenings and weekends. I can be available for last minute if something comes up at work. I live in an apartment. I can check in on your pet when needed, feed dinner, take them for their walks or just be there for company.
“Lucy stopped by once a day, gave my cats snacks, and love. She sent regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. When I got home, everything was in order and the cats seemed happy and cared for. I’d recommend Lucy and would book again!”

“We always rely on Brigit when we are out of town. We were gone for three weeks recently and we felt so much better knowing that we had her taking care of them twice a day. She is always professional, communicative, and of course sends cute pictures at each visit. I highly recommend her!”

“Levi was wonderful. He is prompt to answer messages, quick to understand complex care instructions, and delivers exactly as promised. He pictures with each visit and our cats are happy! 🐱”

“Alejandra did a great job with lots of communication and photos. She also was great at navigating any mishaps, like escaping chickens. Would definitely book again!”


“Joel was amazing with our kitty, Nala, and he went the extra mile in checking in with us while we were gone...not just about Nala, but also things he found askew around the house. We are really grateful for his attention and care. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking him again!”

About: Through my life I have had many breeds of dog. Basset hound, labs, Akita, Australian shepherd and Chow Chow. Additionally I have been a secondary care taker for breeds such as Corgie, Brittany spaniel, pit bull, Belgian Shepard and Pomeranian. I work part time and take classes, and at the moment I do not have a pet of my own so I have plenty of time and energy to walk yours. I have walked dogs in many environments and areas of Albuquerque since I was a child. Safety will always come first, I keep dogs close but I am very willing to let them explore the area in a safe manner. I am very good at intervening and stopping fights between dogs and will always avoid off leash dogs while with your puppy.
“Lucas is great and I definitely recommend him. This is the second time we have used his services to take care of our kitty while we are away. He provides lots of updates and he has excellent communication. I always feel at ease that he is taking the best care of our pet”


“Rob took fantastic care of our 3 dogs. Two are senior dogs and putting them in a pound would be to stressful. Having them at home and Rob checking in on them a few times each day helped to relieve our concerns and stress on the dogs.”
“Geneva was a dream!!!!!!! My cat instantly liked her and she can often be shy with new people. Geneva took such great care of Cocina while I was gone for 2 weeks. She sent photos and videos everyday and made sure my kitty got the best care, brushes and chit chats. I would hire her again!!! THE BEST!!! 6 STARS, if you ask me. :)”

Grande Hts pet parents share their Rover experiences
We hired Levi to watch our cats while gone for 3 weeks out of the country. He did multiple daily checks that involved several tasks, including litter management, feeding, playing, and also took care of our plants. He was easy to get ahold of and is great to work with. Will definitely be using him again.

Thank you Kristin for looking after my boys over the holidays! I sincerely appreciate your flexibility as travels are always up to change. I also appreciate that I can keep booking you, I am certain Linus and Fergus are more comfortable with your repeated care.

Andrea is the best. She is so caring and took wonderful care of my senior dog Gus. He has special needs and Andrea is very mindful of them. She is very organized and communicative. She provides pictures and updates. If you need a great Housesitter look no further!

Highly recommend. Margaret was great with both my high energy pittie and my super skittish boxer mix. She kept me updated and sent lots of cute pictures. She even went above and beyond by noticing that it was trash day and taking the trash out for me. It’s always stressful leaving my dogs behind while I travel, but Margaret eased my concerns. I would definitely use her again!
