“The best sitter ever, had to ask for an additional day due to unforseen circumstances and she came through. Seriously, we will always have Nicole watch our animals as long as she is willing.”
About: What makes me a great fit as your sitter is my reliability, genuine love for animals, and hands‑on experience with different breeds and personalities. I have three dogs of my own—a husky, a shih tzu, and a 9‑month‑old German shepherd rescue—so I truly understand the care, patience, and attention our furbabies need and deserve. I recently moved back to New Mexico to be closer to family, and as someone born and raised in Valencia County, I care deeply about this community and the pets that are part of it. Working with local dogs and cats is something that helps me grow, and I value the bond that comes from being part of their routine. Communication is one of my strongest skills. I believe pet care works best when we operate as a team, making sure everything is clear, comfortable, and aligned with what’s best for your pets. I’m also able to care for birds, and I’d love to set up a recurring weekly schedule so I can become a consistent, trusted presence in your pet’s life. I do not offer reptile or fish sitting. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly how I treat mine. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I work a professional full‑time job, typically from about 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. My role is hybrid, so some days I’m in the office and other days I’m remote. When we plan a schedule, I’ll always be transparent about my work commitments so we can make sure everything aligns comfortably for both of us. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available for mornings and evenings. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide Drop‑Ins or Walks up to three times a day. Holidays are open as well — let’s talk through them. I’m not a big traveler, so I’m usually here in Valencia County and happy to help families who need reliable holiday coverage. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. For Drop‑In and Walking services, I make sure your pet’s essential needs are fully taken care of — feeding, fresh water, restroom breaks, and any comfort or routine they’re used to. I also prioritize safety: I’m Certified in CPR for Cats and Dogs, which means I’m trained to respond quickly and correctly in emergency situation. If your pet has specific requirements or special instructions, I’m always happy to accommodate. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and consistent with the care they’re used to at home. I’m reliable, clean, and respectful, and I bring the same level of care whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and supported while you’re away.
“Karen is an amazing pet sitter. My girls love her and somehow my male cat always horns in on the action when he hears Karen is around handing out treats! LOL We have used her for years while I was working full time and less often now that I am retired. I was so happy to discover her still on Rover! I have missed a lot of trips that I could have gone on because I don’t trust just anyone with my fur babies. No more since I now have Karen! Yea! Thank you Karen!”
About: My family and I will care for your pets like our own. We have a little farm and love dogs and cats.Let the fun begin on our little farm with you furry friends. I work part time and have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies. Clean safe environment. I’ll treat them like my own. I have a fenced yard safe for your pets as well as kennels and baby gates for in home care to keep pets happy and safe.
About: I've been taking care of pets for myself and others since I was five years old. I am a firm but gentle handler and I love all animals equally. I work full time in the afternoon and evening hours, but I live within a 10 minute walk of home so I make frequent stops to check in on my baby and give her love. I live in a studio apartment with my one pup. There is a basket full of toys that are there for animal amusement. I can happily crate your pet if requested/needed. My dog is housebroken, but enjoys frequent walks outside on a leash.
About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.
About: People laugh when I say "dogs are my only friends." Started in 2022, I never imagined this would become my full time job. Ive grown up around animals my entire life, from horses, cows, chickens, goats, fish, dogs and cats, so its truly an honor to be able to pursue something I love and care for so deeply. I have lots of experience in specialized care, from potty training, to senior care. My goal is to always make the dogs feels like home, and ensuring small controlled environments for a stress free stay, all while building their confidence, to maintain a happy healthy dog. I live on an acre fenced in with 5ft high piped fence all the way around. The yard is very secure. There is lots of room for dogs to explore and play. The property is shaded by a variety of trees. We have a mini swimming pool setup to cool the paws off during the hot summer months. We have a large concreted shaded porch. It is very cozy and welcoming. I do this full time as mentioned above, so I am around dogs pretty much 24/7, but some other passions I have is gardening. When you pull up to the property during spring and summer you will see that I have flowers hanging on every post on the porch. I also have a garden in the back fenced off from the dogs that I tend too. We also have chickens! (Dont worry they are completely safe and fenced in from the dogs and any other predator that would want to reach them.) I am licensed and insured as well as Pet CPR/First Aid certified. Some services I offer: In my home: Daycare and overnight pet sitting. At your home: Drop in Care. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I do pet daycare and boarding full time. So you can imagine just how much of my daily life is revolved around dogs. I spend a majority of my days with them. I have a fenced secure yard, 5ft tall piped fence all the way around. My goal for in home sitting is to try and keep their routine the same as much as possible. We also have cameras setup and if we’re not at the home, the dogs are still monitored.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs/cats as well as families pets, I can create a big connection with animals, especially dogs, I have a big heart for all animals I’m currently a stay at home mom of a toddler and she loves animals just as much as me, walking dogs or having to go visit them would get us out of the house and we’re almost always free. I do have a little Banana Bread side business too. I have a fenced yard, 3 dogs (a saint bernard thats a bit older, a chihuahua and a blue heeler mix) and one cat, the cat is an outdoor cat. Our dogs haven’t been around too many other animals besides families dogs but once they meet new dogs and get to know each other they can get along well with them.
About: I have grown up with big dogs since I was little as well as 2 cats! I’ve been with huskies and pomskies as well as labradors and shepherd dogs! I can take care of high energy and low energy dogs! I love cats as well! I know their temperament and how to approach them! My friends have had pit bulls which I do not discriminate against! I have helped with raising puppies and taking care of sick dogs, I promise to treat your pet with the utmost respect and care as if they were my own child! I am working part time at Starbucks and I work on Wednesday’s Thursday's and Sunday's, other than that I have morning classing Monday-Friday and I am good! I do online school so my schedule is very flexible for leaving in the mornings, and sometimes afternoons! At my home we have a big back yard and it is fenced in, we let our animals inside the house as well as outside, I don’t do pet care in my home because we have 4 big dogs and two cats and that would just be stressful on our dogs and cats as well as the dogs or cats I’m taking care of!
“Brooke took very good care of my babies. She took them for a fun hike, played with them and gave lots of belly rubs! My dogs loved Brooke and I appreciated her friendly personality and the many photo updates I received.”
“Lauren is amazing. My furbabies love her. From the moment my animals met her I knew she was perfect. It made me feel safe when she sent pics of my babies and they looked so happy. Looking forward to using her again.”
“Faith was very professional and I felt completely confident leaving my young puppy knowing she would be dropping in to see her. Will book her services again for sure!”
“Jennifer is dependable, reliable, and professional. Felix really likes her and she is good with him and to him. Jennifer left our home neat and cleaned up (cat dishes, litter box etc) and followed all instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer and Felix will see her again, I am am sure! Thank you Jennifer!!”

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
