Dog Boarding Onate

“Our doggie was well cared for and came home healthy and happy. I really appreciated the almost daily photos too! I would recommend them for sure!”

“Maellen is the warmest, caring, and most attentive dog sitter we've ever had. She sent us daily updates with pictures and was very responsive anytime we had a question. We could tell our Toby was happy, safe and comfortable in Maellen's home. Not once did we worry about Toby's well being, safety or comfort and we were able to enjoy our time out of town. Toby got his daily walks, plenty of time with Maellen and we could tell that she took great care of Toby. We are looking forward to having Maellen watch Toby again. In fact, we have confirmed another booking with Maellen later in the year.”

“Our boys had a great time during their stay! Mina and Hannah were very accommodating, friendly, and caring. We really appreciated how well they took care of our dogs. We’ll definitely consider boarding with them again!”

“Holly and Robert watched my dog Hazel for a few days while I was out of town. She got along great with the other dogs in the house, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands during her stay! The hosts regularly communicated with me and provided pictures, as well. I highly recommend Holly and Robert for your boarding or overnight needs in the Albuquerque area 🐶 🐾”

“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”

“RITA WAS SO LOVING AND ATTENTIVE TO LOLA'S NEED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE LEFT HER FOR A WEEK . RITA MADE IT A PRIORITY TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS NOT DEPRESSED. WE WILL USE HER AGAIN!”

“Kevin is great- very laid back and easy to work with. Had no issues, he did well with our anxious pup! Would recommend him to family and friends and would happily book with him again!”

Maryellen W.

“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”

Ernest G.

“Doug did a great job taking care of my German Shepherd's. I have never used this app before and he eased my mind by sending me updates and pictures. The dogs came back home, healthy, and happy.”

Leslie C.

“Thanks for taking care of Bloom, she was happy and calm when I picked her up and I felt good knowing she would be given lots of attention and walks.”

Kaylee N.

“My dog Lucy had a great stay with Celeste! I came home to a healthy and happy pup. Celeste kept me updated throughout Lucy’s stay and sent photos as well. I will definitely book again! Thank you Celeste for taking such great care of Lucy!”

Emily T.

“Pat was just fantastic. So accommodating! I was very (very) last minute when asking her to watch Levy, my Borzoi, overnight, and she took her in with no problem. She was very sweet and professional. She had no problems with feeding Levy's raw diet, and thankfully didnt leave any kibble out for my sneaky pup to get into. I've been weary with leaving Lev with dog sitters since she would come back sick, but she's been her normal self. :) I also was sent pictures and videos which I greatly appreciated. So happy to have found Pat and am 100% confident that Levy will stay her in the future.”

Erika S.

“This is my first time using Rover. Safe to say Preston had a great time! He slept all day when I picked him up to take him home. I was very anxious about using Rover for the first time, but Bonni kept me updated with pictures every day and is very accommodating. Highly recommend.”

About: My Love for Animals & Experience As a child, I was raised in a home filled with cats, dogs, and birds. My mother was the first person to teach me the importance of caring for animals, showing compassion, and lending a helping hand to those in need. Through her, I developed a deep love and intuitive sense for animals. I've had the opportunity to help rescue and/or care for & nurture animals such as puppies, kittens, dogs, and cats from a young age. As I grew older and began having animals and experiences of my own, I carried those same values with me. My passion for animals has remained a constant throughout my life. I genuinely cherish their unique personalities, companionship, and the different ways that they communicate with us. About 13.5 years ago, I rescued my Chihuahua, Ivory, and nursed her back to health. That experience taught me so much about trusting my intuition, mutual trust, respect, patience, compassion, and the importance of gentle, attentive care. Ivory wasn't just a dog, she was my best friend; we grew up and went through so many different phases of life together. Although she passed away a year and a half ago, the bond we shared will always hold a special place in my heart. She taught me so much about myself. With that said, every animal I care for brings me so much joy and much needed heart medicine. I genuinely strive to make a positive impact with Ivory's memory and Spirit walking beside me. I also have experience caring for ducks, and have spent time around horses through my experience with equine therapy. Wolves, dogs, and horses are among my spirit animals! Overall, being able to spend time with other people's animal companions and help care for them is something that brings me genuine joy. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, help with walking, a little extra TLC, or attentive everyday care, I approach each animal with patience, empathy, and an appreciation for their individual needs and personality. My goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. A Little About My Family I am a single mother of three daughters, ages 9, 5, and 2. My children are being raised with a deep appreciation for nature and a genuine respect for animals and all living things. Each has her own personality: my oldest is naturally empathetic and caring, my middle daughter can be a little shy around animals at first but warms up with time, and my youngest is sweet and curious. They all love animals and are still learning how to interact with them respectfully. I also want to be transparent that, depending on the requested dates and times, particularly during after-school hours, I may occasionally need to bring my daughters with me. I do not currently have childcare available after school, and we primarily get around by bus and walking. For everyone's comfort and safety, I ask that clients booking services where my daughters may accompany me have pets who are comfortable around young children, friendly, and non-aggressive. Pets who are fearful, reactive, or uncomfortable around children may not be the best fit for these particular arrangements. I am experienced with pets that have anxiety and fear, but this would be better suited during early afternoon hours when I am by myself. I am always happy to discuss your pet's temperament and needs beforehand to make sure it's a good fit. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved animal companions. I understand that pets are family, and I would be honored to provide them with the same kindness, patience, and attentiveness that I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! I am on a consistent schedule with my children during the week between waking up, getting them to school, and picking them up. Having a flexible schedule is a must when navigating my three daughters and their needs. I am able to assist between the hours of 9am to 3pm, depending on the location. This schedule is subject to change as we get more settled in our new home. As someone who values honesty, integrity, and sincerity, I am committed to providing the highest level of care for your pets. I adhere to all health, safety, and pet care instructions, guidelines, and procedures given to me by each client, ensuring that your pet's needs are met with the utmost attention. When you choose me to care for your pets in your home, you can expect a dedicated approach that prioritizes their comfort and well-being. I recognize that maintaining a consistent routine is vital for pets, so I follow their established schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime. My goal is to ensure your furry companions feel secure and loved while you’re away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for dogs feels completely natural to me. I’ve raised and loved my own dogs since childhood, and I understand how important it is to find someone you trust when you’re away. I’ve used Rover for years for my own dog, Gracie, so I know exactly what pet parents hope for — clear communication, a safe environment, and lots of love and attention for their pups. I am semi‑retired, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. I have a very flexible schedule, which enables dogs to get frequent attention, outdoor time, and a steady routine throughout the day. I provide a safe, supervised, and dog‑friendly environment with a fully fenced yard and plenty of attention. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone and always have companionship. I introduce new dogs slowly, monitor play, and make sure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and respected.

“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”

About: Hello! My name is Caroline! I grew up with lots of pets including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, and a duck. In my pet-sitting experience, I've cared for dogs, cats, snakes, frogs, chameleons, donkeys, horses, the list goes on. I've also always helped care for pets of my roommates and coworkers with every day tasks and when they go out of town. I love them as if they were my own and feel the same for any pet I have the pleasure of spending time with! I also have a ton of professional experience pet sitting and dog walking! I live right by Arroyo Del Oso Park in NE Abq and have plenty of space inside and out for your pet to feel perfectly comfortable. I also allow pets on the furniture, so they will be extra cozy :) I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Feel free to reach out directly with any special requests or inquiries! -Caroline I am in between jobs at the moment so I have pretty open availability throughout the week! I'm also single and have no children, so you won't ever have to worry about any emergencies coming up last minute. I have a fenced in patio/outdoor space and also have beds and couches and all kinds of comfy blankets and pillows for your pet to feel extra cozy and safe :) I also live right across the street from a very large park, perfect for dogs.

“Brandi was an amazing choice when boarding Ace who hadn’t had a lot of time outside of the house. Ace loved her dog Aries and her kids as well! The kids didn’t want Ace to leave and loved on him the whole time, which made me so happy. She also has a lot of experience and taught him a couple new tricks while I was gone. She went above and beyond to learn about Ace and even had him sleep in a bigger crate than the one I brought, to ensure he was happy. Her whole family is the sweetest and I can’t wait to book with her again!!!”

“Ashleigh and her family were great with my two dogs. It had been awhile since I boarded them and she made them feel right at home and sent pictures of them and sent updates frequently during their stay and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. My return trip was delayed and she was accommodating and flexible with the pickup time. I’ll definitely rebook with Ashleigh for future trips!”

About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me so much joy. I’ve had the honor of caring for all kinds of pets, including cats and dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful pups full of energy to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet for who they are. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. ❤️ I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I want every pet I watch to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their individual needs, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is not only to take care of your pet, but to make sure they have a happy, comfortable experience while they’re with me. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want someone to give mine. 🐾💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my family is my biggest priority, but I also wanted to find a way to continue contributing while doing something that genuinely brings me joy. Pet care has been the perfect fit for my life because it allows me to be present for my family while also opening my home and heart to caring for other people’s beloved pets. For me, Rover isn’t just a way to earn extra income—it’s a way to contribute, connect with animals, and do something I genuinely love while being there for my family. 🐾❤️ Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our family while they’re here. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats who are comfortable around other pets. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and handled safely with leashes. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.
