Then I whent to the pound walking and helped in the clinic. Then I became a veterinary assistant to help more animals. I am currently working full time 10 hour shifts with 3 days off a week.

I work part time with a fairly flexible schedule so I’d love to fill my extra time with taking care of animals and more long walks!! I take my own dog on 2-3 walks per day and she would love to join your pets if they’re friendly! I am happy to accommodate any special needs for your pets.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for friends and family for years. I just heard about Rover in 2021 and was excited to meet more of your fur babies! I've taken care of puppies and elderly dogs. We always have a great time! My current schedule is very flexible, so I will be ready at a moment's notice! I've even enabled same day cancellation! I will be able to spend the night or come over multiple times a day as necessary. I'm finally in a house, so I will be providing boarding and daycare soon! I love playing with cats and dogs, so I'll be up for however much activity they desire! I'll bring my sneakers! Very available and flexible on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends! I can do walks and drop-ins on those days and I can do overnights any night! I leave your pets and your house in the same or better condition than when I started. I love meeting new furry friends and people are okay, too!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.

About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.

“Have had such a wonderful experience with Lucy. She was willing to do a meet ahead of time. She won over my very reluctant dog, and he has such a good time and come back happy. Lucy was very timely and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Benjamin was an awesome walker!! He was so accomodating to our chaotic situation (we're injured/sick at the moment) and handled our two girls who both have their quirks very well. Total lifesaver. Highly recommended.”

About: I hope one day I become an experienced specialty veterinary technician. I currently work at the emergency VCA specialty center here in Albuquerque as veterinary assistance for almost 6 years now. I am also a committed part time caregiver for a family member. This gives me a good amount of free time for walking pets in the neighborhood. I Would love to discuss a schedule. I am using this app to accomplish my long term career goals of going back to school to become an RVT. I work in the ICU at the emergency VCA on Paseo del Norte 3 days a week. My weekly schedule is set and I hope to one day have more personal clients to go part time at my clinic and have more time for flexibility with personal dog sitting. I live in a small apartment right now so I'm not able to care for any pets in my own home unfortunately at this time.

“Good time Walk was had by my LAB dog - who is very active! Thanks for your support with my BIG dog. Sueki I was surprised to see the Rover fee! Kinda outside my budget !”

About: I go by Seven, I was born on a farm, I’ve worked with animals of the farm variety and of course, cats, dogs, and many more sense I was young. Volunteered at animal shelter, vets office, and farm animal facilities. I’m currently a UNM student so all my babies are at home but I plan to have my ESA Rosy join me soon, so I don’t see animals often outside of meeting fellow students pets. I have spent most of my years growing up with and around animals and have a lot of love and experience with them! I have classes T/Th 1-5pm and Fri-8am-noon, but other than that I’m free for any kind of help! I make sure to ask what rules or regulations have to be followed for both pet, home, and routine. I never wanna stress a pet out or an owner so I love to send photos and updates the whole time I’m there as well as make sure everyone is comfortable and happy with the job and care I give.

About: With over 16 years as a veterinary technician and 5 years as a veterinary assistant college instructor at PIMA Medical Institute, my experience in pet care is both broad and deep. I'm skilled in everything from administering injections and CPR to managing wound care and monitoring special needs animals, including diabetic and seizure patients. My expertise extends to exotic care, from reptiles to arachnids, ensuring I can cater to a wide range of pets. Beyond medical skills, I'm highly attuned to animal behavior, adept at recognizing stress signals, and committed to creating a comfortable, safe environment. Continuing education has honed my ability to communicate effectively with dogs and cats, making their care as stress-free as possible. I believe pets are happiest at home, and I'm dedicated to providing compassionate, in-home care that eases anxiety and gives owners true peace of mind, with your pet's well-being as my utmost priority. I am currently part time employed, but have the intention of making this a full time job eventually. My availability is Sundays thru Sundays for day sitting in your home. I am available to house sit overnights Sundays through Thursdays. As a certified veterinary technician, with the experience I have with emergency care and the needs of special needs pets, I provide personalized care in your home tailored to your pets unique needs. I'm skilled in administering medications, including injections, and precise with feeding schedules and amounts. With a background in animal behavior, I ensure your pet feels safe and secure, while giving you piece of mind. Each visit is customized based on our discussions, focusing on your pet's well-being and specific requirements.

“Alyssa does a great job with my Bailey girl. She takes multiple pictures, let's me know how Baikey was from start to finish, if there is anything I should check when I get home. And most importantly Bailey loves when she comes over.”

About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs since I 10. Anytime they went out of town, they called me to make sure to feed them or bring them over to my house while their gone. I work part time as server and the rest of the time I work and go to school at home, leaving me with plenty of time to be your furry friends companion. I have a little dog park at my apartment, as well as plenty of space to walk the dogs around my building. I also offer to take care of your animals at your home if that’s what you prefer.

“Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.”
