“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”
“Thank you Adrienna! Marley was happy when I got home.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends, family and neighbors dogs since I was 11. I love all dogs of all ages and have 2 large dogs of my own. I’m currently finishing up my masters degree and won’t be working all summer so I’ll have lots of availability for walks and drop ins as needed. I have two very friendly dogs but have dog gates and crates space is ever needed or for when I may have to leave home.
“Candace is great to work with. I reached out for dog walking my two rescues. They have some quirks and she manages them well. I’m happy she’s available when I need her. I will use her service again.”
“Brooke is lovely!! Luna took to her right away in the meet & greet. She sent great pictures & updates. I will be using her again the future - very glad I found her!”
“Sierra helped us out last minute, and even squeezed in a meet and greet! She was very kind and our aloof pup snuggled right up to her. Will definitely rebook!”
“Kimberly was able to help me out last minute, which was amazing! We didn't have time to do a meet and greet, but she was still able to follow my instructions and walk my dog. She is a great communicator and I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Tabatha really saved us during a week where our schedules kept changing. She was extremely flexible with the timing, and always responded right away to any communications. Of course she also took great care to learn about my dog’s needs and how to best walk him. My dog immediately loved her and had the best time playing in the dog park. I would definitely recommend Tabatha!”
About: I am proficient in caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities - including responsibilities like daily feedings, walks, basic grooming, administering medications, and reinforcing training. I have had my sweet baby Ares - my gentle giant Golden Retriever - for 4 years, and before that have cared for many different dogs - particularly my family's Labs Ava and Annie. I am a very active person and love to go on walks, runs, and hikes, but would love it even more if I got to spend time with your fur baby! I am more than happy to accommodate your schedule, and am dedicated to ensuring your pet's safety and comfort. I have a very open schedule and am extremely flexible when it comes to accommodating specific times needed for pet care. Tailoring my schedule is no problem at all! I take this responsibility very seriously and understand that the care of one’s pet requires a great deal of trust. I am very conscientious about maintaining a secure environment, following instructions precisely, and communicating promptly with any concerns or updates. I am dedicated to providing both excellent care for pets, and peace of mind for their parents!
“Patricia is so sweet and pleasant to work with. Our dog, Penny LOVES her and she gets so excited when Patricia gets to come take her for walks.”
“She’s been lovely to work with! 😊”
About: I am an animal-crazy adult Vet Tech student who's been inspired by my 10-year journey with a traumatized, reactive rescue pup who recently passed. I grew up with dogs and cats and rabbits, and adopted a rescued cat while in college who was with me for 13 years, but it was my experience with a traumatized rescue-pup later in life that led me to recently return to school to become a Vet Tech. I initially worked with two private trainers and began studying trauma response in dogs and cats, practicing skills to reduce fear and build trust with special needs pets. I am a registered volunteer with the city and have several repeat/current clients. I make a point of getting to know the personality of each individual in my care, and adapt my energy and/or activities to get as close to their level and needs as possible. I provide care in the comfort of your pet's own home and am available for any activities your pet enjoys. We can walk around your neighborhood, play with enrichment toys, go for a car ride, you name it! I am also happy to just sit with your pet in the same space. My goal is to keep things as close to your pet's normal as possible when they are in my care. When I care for pets in their home and neighborhood, I stay as close to their normal as possible and keep a regular routine they can rely on and trust. I am a guest caretaker in their safe space and always work to respect and honor it as such.
“I’ve been working with Erich for the past week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He has been a huge help in improving my dog Cosmo's behavior on walks. Erich has gone above and beyond in not only walking Cosmo but also helping with little training moments that have already made a noticeable difference. He’s incredibly communicative and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about Cosmo’s well-being. I’ve loved working with him and will definitely continue scheduling with Erich moving forward!”
“Max was great with my 7 year old Sharpei Arley. He arrived on time and treated him well. Good luck with your move Max!”
“Coda absolutely adores Jennifer. I saw it first hand when I was home due to an illness and she came to walk Coda when I am usually in class. It was heartwarming to see.”
About: I've been a pet caretaker for most of my 45 years, but I only put 25 in the years experience because those adult years of my life have been most dedicated to pet care. I am a serial adopter of rescue animals, so I'm well versed in pet conditions that need special care. I don't crate our animals and I love them all unconditionally. If you have a pet that needs special attention or even a modicum of training, I'd be happy to help you take care of them. I'm a military veteran and author working from home. I spend my entire day spoiling my pets (I have both cats and dogs, and they get along well enough). I walk the dogs daily, sometimes more than once. The dogs get brushed regularly and the cats get brushed if they make an appearance or we can catch them. As mentioned earlier, I do not crate our pets. I prefer to let them roam, but I occasionally do block off certain areas of the house to prevent naughty behavior. The pets are always rewarded for good behavior with snacks.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and i’ve had many different breeds. I was the neighborhood dog walker when I was in middle school. I am working a part time job and I am in school but I am able to walk your dog every 3-4 hours during the week I have a fenced in yard for my dog and usually let him outside every hour or so. I also feed him dry food in the morning and wet and dry food at night
“Ella really bonded with my dog during her walks with him. Thank you, Ella, for your kind support!”
“Delena is great with Koda and Colson. They had an instant connection. She puts on their leash and is off on their walk. They already know that she is there to take them out. Will continue to work with her.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals of all sizes. I’m comfortable caring for both big dogs and cats, and I’ve had pets of various breeds and sizes throughout my life. Currently, I have three pets of my own, so I understand the attention and care they need on a daily basis. I also offer a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate what works best for the client. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, cuddles, or patience, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have three pets of my own, so caring for animals is already part of my daily life. I work part-time with short shifts, and also attend UNM, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat each home with respect and always make sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I keep clients updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

Oso Grande dog parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn’t be happier with Olivia! She is reliable, warm, and clearly experienced with animals. From the moment she met our two dogs, they took to her instantly—which says a lot, because one of them can be a little particular. It’s such a relief to know our dogs are in good hands. We highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker or sitter!
Seneca is GREAT! Very communicative and capable. She learns our quirky fur babies and takes care of them so well. Thank you, Seneca!
Thank you, Cheri! It was such a big help to have you walk my pups when I couldn’t - they had a great time and I love the pics you sent everyday!
Hannah is absolutely amazing! She is very responsive to any changes or requests. My dog absolutely loves her and my neighbors have even said great things about Hannah. I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone!
Emma is so good with Ginger! She shows loves and tenderness with animals and always keeps you up.to date with little notes and pictures!
Coda absolutely adores Jennifer. I saw it first hand when I was home due to an illness and she came to walk Coda when I am usually in class. It was heartwarming to see.
Thank you so much for coming to take Blueberry for a walk on short notice! Incredibly helpful and so appreciated
I have used Kalantha for over a year to let my dog out while I was working 13+ hour shifts. She has been 100% reliable and trustworthy. I feel totally comfortable letting her in my home and I know my dog enjoys spending time with her.
Ms Patricia is amazing! I highly recommend her if you have a nervous or scared dog, she was amazing with letting my dog lead the way and not do anything to trigger more anxiety. I know my dog was so happy to have someone to spend time with who gave her the attention and care she needed. Patricia made sure the cat got plenty of love and attention as well! I received lots of pictures and detailed notes of each visit. I'll definitely be using Patricia again in the future!
