Pet Sitting John Robert

“Emily took VERY good care of our VERY shy kitties. We highly recommend her and she will be our go to sitter whenever possible. You can’t go wrong with her!”

Theresa H.

“Jana has been taking care of our cats for a while now and she does an amazing job. She was able to care for them with short notice. She is dependable and trust worthy and lets us know how they are doing each time she drops in to feed, give medication, and play with them. They really love her! We highly recommend Jana!”

Sonia S.

“Jennifer has done drop-in visits for my cat and rabbit on two separate occasions. She is kind, reliable, and trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her services again!”

About: I’ve grown up with many cats (tabbies, calicos, and black cats) and dogs (pit bulls) throughout my childhood. I’m very familiar with environments that involve pets. I’m also known to be very punctual, have friendly and positive attitude, and pay excellent attention to detail! I’m a 22 year old young adult and I work part time as a prep cook for a Mexican restaurant! I live with my fiancé who works as a caregiver but we have opposite schedules, so there will always be a person in the house to look after your pet. I work Thurs-Sunday from 7am to 3pm. I may be out of the house once a day for a hour or two to run errands. Besides that, we’ll be available to keep an eye on your furry friends! :) I live in a 650 sqft apartment within a gated community! The apartment complex has a small outside pet area with other sidewalks and grass to enjoy. I can also provide food and toys if needed!

“Marilyn did a great job tending to my cats”

“Max dropped in to check on my two cats, fed and gave them some attention twice a day over Memorial Day weekend. I found them in good condition on my return. Thanks, Max!”

Eric M.

“Rita took great care of Sunny our cat. She checked in with us often and gave us personalized updates on how he was doing. We will definitely use Rita again in the future. She genuinely loves animals, and that shines through.”

Emily S.

“Thank you Malcolm. It looks like Kenji remembered you. I really appreciate your flexibility. I’ll look at the calendar and let you know of future bookings. They will likely be in the early evening.”

About: My love for animals started long ago, and cats have always held a special place in my heart. I genuinely relate to them — their quiet intelligence, their independence, their softness, their quirks. Honestly, I’ve always felt like I understand cats on a level that comes more naturally to me than most human interactions. Cats thrive when someone respects their boundaries, reads their subtle cues, and honors their routines. That’s exactly how I care for them. I pay attention to the details: the way they flick their tail when they’re curious, the slow blink that says they trust you, the little habits that make them feel safe and seen. When I care for your cat, they’re not just being looked after — they’re being understood. I create a calm, predictable environment where they can explore, nap, play, and feel completely at ease. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets cats — someone who sees your feline friend as a whole personality, not just a pet — I would love to care for your best friend. Dogs-Dogs love me because I meet them exactly where they are. I move slowly for the shy ones, celebrate the goofy ones, and give the anxious ones a calm place to breathe. I pay attention to their signals—the soft tail wag, the hopeful glance, the little lean that says “I trust you.” I speak their language with patience, consistency, and kindness. They know I’m safe. They know I listen. They know I care. And in return, they give me their whole hearts—one wag, one nuzzle, one happy trot at a time. I have a widely-varied flexible schedule and would have plenty of time to care for your cat or dog as needed. Pet care blends seamlessly into my daily and weekly rhythm because I already live a life built around consistency, calm energy, and being home throughout the day. Between running my home bakery and keeping a steady household routine, I’m present — really present — which means animals get attention, companionship, and structure instead of rushed check‑ins. Caring for a pet in their own home is all about honoring their comfort zone. I step into their space gently, keeping everything familiar — their routines, their favorite spots, their feeding schedule, and the little habits that make them feel secure. I move slowly, respectfully, and with the kind of calm energy animals naturally respond to. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medication to preferred walking routes or playtime rituals. I pay attention to the details: how they greet me, how they settle, what makes them curious, and what helps them relax. I keep their environment tidy, their water fresh, and their day predictable. While I’m there, your pet gets companionship, structure, and genuine affection — not rushed check‑ins. I stay present, tuned in, and mindful of their emotional needs. Whether it’s a cat who prefers quiet company or a dog who thrives on routine and reassurance, I adapt to their personality and pace. Your home stays just as you left it, and your pet stays in the place where they feel safest. My goal is simple: to make sure your best friend feels understood, cared for, and completely at ease until you return.

“Great communication, asks questions & gives updates, and most important - dog likes her :)”

Hannah F.

“Cristina always does a great job taking care of my cats, one of whom needs medicine daily. Really helps put my mind at ease when I have to travel that they are being taken care of.”

Sarah G.

“Katie was very responsive to my initial request booking drop in visits with my cat and had great communication with me throughout the time she was conducting visits. She sent pictures and updates during her visits which made me feel reassured my cat was getting excellent care while I was away. Highly recommend and will be requesting her again when I leave town!”

Emily P.

“Michael is a great pet sitter, took excellent care of my cats!”

Jillian K.

“We had a wonderful experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in Mae’s care for a full week. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and responsive, especially when a few things didn’t go exactly as planned. Communication was consistent throughout the week and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative and caring dog sitter. We would happily have her watch our dogs again!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified

About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life. My first pets were an albino hamster named Winston & my sweet Chow Chow, Sugarbear! I rescued a Golden Retriever named Bonita. She was the love of my life from 15, through college :) We kept one of her puppies, Tanner, who was special needs, missing a paw and some toes…he could always depend on me to take care of him. I’m comfortable and confident with dogs of any size. I always have some good treats on-hand :) I rescued my Shepard/Husky, CoCo from AH in 2021. She was 5, now going on 10. Now…I’m ready to take care of your furry family with the same care and level of professionalism. I’d love to get to know your fur baby! I am Patient and Kind, Affable & Excited. I’ll follow any and all instructions you have for your dog or cat, or both! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies, book me today :) I’m currently working 40 hours, M-F. I’m coming up on 5 years at my current job. I also volunteer weekdays & weekends with a local animal non-profit shelter. I’ve been doing this since 2021. I’ve logged hundreds of hours walking dogs, reading to cats and taking care of animals in need. I am an Advance Dog Walker, meaning I know how to walk hard-to-handle dogs. I am doing Rover after work and Friday/Saturdays for house sitting. I can walk Monday-Friday & am also available for drop-ins as well. I have a rescue dog at home. Her name is Coco. She’s 85 pounds of pure joy. I got her when she was five, she’s going to be 10 this May 16th. Coco requires a daily pill and a topical cream. Both administered by me. I have to pill her, but, I’ve gotten really good at making it quick and painless for both of us and I can do the same for your dog, if needed. Coco gets regular exercise. I do work but she’s a rockstar at home. She gets plenty of treats and a big daily dose of love! I’ll take care of your pets with that same level of care, love and attention to detail. Keeping a calm environment is paramount to successful care. I’ll keep you updated on your pet when they’re in my care with photos. I’m able to walk your doggo, drop-in or even house sit, so let’s meet up and get your dog or cat in good hands.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I’ve watched big dogs like pit bulls to tiny little shi tzu’s. While I don’t have professional experience, I know a lot about dogs and I’m very gentle and tending to an owners needs. I’ve been trusted by many family members to watch and walk their dogs and have received nothing but positive feedback. I truly have a heart for dogs and am motivated to make them happy. I’m working part time due to my full time college schedule, so I have a lot of time to walk dogs or pet sit them while you are away at work! I’m looking to make some extra money to afford studying dental hygiene at UNM. I get out of class at about 2:30pm every weekday, and after that I’m free. I live in an apartment with many huge grass patches for dogs to run around, along with a dog park on the property. I also have a patio for them to play, and a huge crate for my own dog which any dog could use if needed. I’m very good with instructions, because I’m picky myself when finding a dog sitter.

About: If there's anything that I can brighten my day, it's seeing a happy dog! Since I was young I have always had a soft heart for all animals. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, and I will advocate for them however I can. I have cared for many dogs of my own over the years, as well as for others. Your fur babies will get as much love as I give my own. Caring for animals has always brought me a deep sense of comfort and joy. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets or those who need a little extra attention, patience, and care. I recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years to cutaneous lymphoma, which required attentive, around-the-clock care, including carefully timed medications and a thoughtfully managed diet tailored to his health needs. He was truly a member of my family, and his loss has left a significant space in my life—one of the reasons I’ve chosen to join Rover. I’m very attentive, protective, and detail-oriented when it comes to an animal’s well-being. My experience has also led me to learn extensively about canine health, particularly cancer prevention and supportive care. Caring for animals is important to me, as I know completely how worrisome it can be to give your baby to someone else and hope they get the same love and care. I have always been very cautious with my pets in any situation and this is one of the reasons I joined Rover. I understand the nervousness of giving someone else the responsibility of your beloved pet, and if I can be that relief to someone else then I would love to! The attention, detail, and care I put into them reflects my fees. Since my dog has passed, I truly miss the simple joys of daily walks and spending time outside with a dog, and I look forward to providing loving, reliable care for yours. I currently work on a project basis and have full availability, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and play. I don’t have other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m home most of the day, providing a calm and consistent environment. I also enjoy taking walks, especially when visiting family in the Four Hills area, which offers great opportunities for outdoor time. I do go to the gym regularly, but I’m typically only away for about an hour, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special requests. I’m attentive to details, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and provide regular updates so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I have also been accepted as an APS substitute teacher, so I have passed an extensive background check. Along with dog sitting, my background also includes a professional career in the film industry, teaching English in Spain with families, and caring for a farm in Hawaii. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment with plenty of supervision, comfort, and affection. I ensure pets have a safe space to relax, access to fresh water, and appropriate exercise and enrichment based on their energy level and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I’m mindful during walks (leash safety, surroundings, avoiding hazards), and I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior or higher-needs pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

“Candace did drop-ins twice a day for 10 days while I was out of state. My blind cat Izzy took to her quickly. Candace sent several pictures daily and stayed extra a couple of times: during a wind storm to comfort her and another time to take a nap with her. I would definitely hire Candace again.”

About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.
