“Levi did a top notch job taking care of our beloved raven. He went above and beyond what was expected by taking care of my plants and keeping my house neat. We highly recommend and will be will rebook Levi in the future. 🐕🦺”
“My cat is asking if Ren can live with us. He again took wonderful care of Sassy and the house. He sends creative photography updates, has excellent communications, is attentive to home care, and has a natural connection with animals.”
“Rachel did amazing with our 3 older furbabies. She was able to help us in a pinch when my husband and I had just moved to a new home and needed quick house/pet sitting. She gave frequent updates and our pets love her! Thank you, Rachel! <3”
“Jasmine took care of our girl again for the third time thus far and we are still exceptionally pleased with her true concern for our girls welfare. Traveling is much more enjoyable knowing Rhea is in great hands.”
“Kellie was wonderful with my pups and kitties. She helped me out of a bind when my house sitter bailed on me last minute. Medications given when needed along with regular updates to me. House was in great condition when I returned. Would definitely use her again”
“Maria was fantastic. She's sends regular updates and is quick to respond to messages. She took excellent care of our pup and our home. Absolutely plan to check her availability for any future trips.”
“Cienna was great with our two dogs, one of which takes a while to warm up to strangers. She communicated daily and left the house and yard in perfect order. We’ll definitely use her again and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Danae was awesome. A vet tech, she is very knowledgeable with pet care. She was immediately responsive and stayed on top of communications. She sent photos and notes that kept me in touch. I know that she was up early to walk the Husky during the cool early morning hours, which is the best for this Northern dog. She was willing to play light tag with the cat, which is her favorite activity besides sitting on your lap. I came back to a house in great shape. I highly recommend.”
About: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“Allison came to us in our moment of NEED. I had never used rover before but we got stuck while out of town and had no one to watch our fur babies. So thankful to have found Allison and when we got home, all three of them were SO happy!! Allison was so attentive to all of their needs and made sure to ask any and all questions as they arose. She sent us pics and videos everyday, which really put our minds at ease. Allison is now our go-to dog sitter and house sitter when we leave home. Don’t even go to anyone else’s profile. Allison is as far as you need to go!!”
“Posie loved Jaylene! Jaylene did a great job caring for Posie this last week. She stayed in our home while we were gone. Everything was clean and neat when we got home and Posie was great! Jaylene sent us updates and photos throughout the week and that really helped relieve my anxiety! We plan to ask Jaylene to stay with Posie for our next vacation!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job caring for our 17-year-old dog while we were away. She was prompt, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire experience. Our dog seemed very comfortable with her. What really stood out was Savannah's understanding of senior dogs. Because she has experience with an elderly dog of her own, she understands the extra attention, patience, and care that older pets often need. That gave us peace of mind knowing our senior dog was in such capable and compassionate hands. We would happily recommend Savannah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“We love Caitlin! I’ve used her twice already and will more than likely again. She is responsive and communication is amazing. She sends daily pictures of our Jade too when we are away. Jade loves her too every picture is a smile :) Caitlin also stays overnight in our home and we trust her it’s like she was never here. She’s the perfect sitter highly recommend!”
“Parker did excellent with our fur babies. Great communication and even checked on them an extra morning when our flights wer3 delayed. We’ll be booking him again for our next trip!”
“Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.”
About: I have been around a variety of animals most of my life. I am currently training my dog to be a service animal and have previously had a senior dog. With my senior dog, I provided loving care and support as his mobility changed. I am currently minoring in companion animal science, with the intent to become a physical therapist for animals. I am currently a full-time student at NMSU as well as a part-time employee at NMSU. My availability will vary depending on the semester. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the hours I am available. I can provide potty breaks throughout the day, afternoon walks, kennel them if needed, house sitting, and provide picture updates if you are missing your fur babies.

We booked Jenn for overnight stays with our pets and she was beyond amazing. She communicated so well and often, and was so responsible with our pets and took amazing care of our home. We had a nightmare experience in the past with a previous house sitter so we were super nervous but Jenn was absolutely amazing and I would use her again any time she’s available! Cannot recommend her enough.
Levi did a great job of caring for our 2 dogs and 4 cats. We were away for 5 1/2 weeks — a long time for someone new to our household to manage. He paid attention to their many unique quirks, attending to issues that periodically came up. He sent photos regularly, and messages on their status. One of our cats has always had digestive problems and Levi worked hard with him to help improve his condition. We have a large yard so he didn't have to take them for walks, but he did have to clean up their messes. He won over our newest rescue who followed him around everywhere, and went outside with them even through that wasn't necessary. Our house was in good shape when we returned and we hope to have him sit for us on our next vacation.
Savannah did a wonderful job caring for our 17-year-old dog while we were away. She was prompt, courteous, and communicative throughout the entire experience. Our dog seemed very comfortable with her. What really stood out was Savannah's understanding of senior dogs.

Bethany is amazing! She sent photos and updates and even the pups that don't do well with strangers took to her; and to be honest, I trust the dogs instincts over my own! :) Despite getting ER sick while here, she made sure everything was done before taking herself to the hospital! To me, putting yourself aside to care for someone else's pups is just above and beyond! We will definitely be booking again!
We love Alex!!! There’s so may wonderful things we could say about her including the fact that she’s great with our fur kids (even the shy ones), goes above and beyond (like taking out the trash and recycling), and is always a joy to work with! We can’t thank Alex enough!
Jasmine is amazing! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs and she was great with them and made me feel at ease leaving them which i have never done before and am already booking her for the next out of town trip. I have a very picky dog and he loved her which says alot to me. I got updates as requested and she is very responsive.
Lacey was responsive, attentive, knowledgeable, observant and so incredibly kind! She took the best care of our 3 fur babies while we were away! She went above and beyond and prioritized the care of our animals the entire time. Our pets will be so excited to see her again the next time we are away.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Gina took wonderful care of our house and two dogs, Sandy and Dusty, over the weekend. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Sandy and Dusty were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we got back. Communication was great, and it was obvious our dogs received lots of attention and love. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
