“On time, took my pooch for a good long walk, very sweet, great communication.”

“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.”

Erin S.

“Excellent and caring sitter!”

Connie M.

“Brooke is the absolute best! She is consistent, punctual, an excellent communicator, and our dog goes nuts when he sees her. I’ve utilized several dog walkers/sitters through Rover in the past but none are as dependable as Brooke.”

About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.

“My dog got two awesome walks today thanks to Robert and Holly. The walks were long and I loved being able to see the map of where they went. Good pics were sent. My dog said hello when I got home and then fell right asleep! I think she had a very good day. I look forward to hiring them for my next outing.”

“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.”

Mac B.

“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.”

“Really appreciated Lauren's help with taking care of the dogs when I couldn't. They got in some great walks and I got some great photos out of it as well. I highly recommend her if you need a sitter or a walker!”

“Max was great with my 7 year old Sharpei Arley. He arrived on time and treated him well. Good luck with your move Max!”

“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!”

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 have always had dogs in my life! I’ve taken care of large dogs of various breeds as well as small pups. I enjoy the different personalities that each dog has and would love to take care of yours! We have a 4 year old Lab that would love to have another dog to play with and keep her company! I am working from home and available everyday unless out of town, my schedule is very flexible! We would love to host your fur baby as one of our own! We have a fenced in back yard and turf for the dogs to run and play! Our pups are pretty spoiled and have free roam of the house. We allow them to sleep in the bed but also have many dog beds throughout the house and will follow whatever routine or rules you set to continue your pups routine.

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

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.

About: I grew up with large dogs in the home and spent my teenage years pet-sitting for neighbors and family friends with pets of all types! This included all sizes of dogs, so I am comfortable with most breeds, house cats, and specialty care including elderly pets, pets with medication needs including daily pills and insulin injections, and different walking requirements/practices. I have no concerns about large breeds as long as they are leash trained. I am very comfortable with puppies and basic dog training and am comfortable practicing your preferred walking or training practices as specified. I am a current graduate student that loves pets and uses rover for flexibility around my school schedule. My availability fluctuates however I am often working from home for months at a time and am flexible for drop-ins, house-sitting, and walking schedules. I am comfortable caring for your pet as you prefer and have experience with many pet living situations. Relative to walking, I have used many methods including pronged collars, gentle leaders, harnesses, traditional leashes, etc. Within my own home, I have one 2-year old labrador that loves playing with other dogs and is gentle with dogs of all sizes.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for the past three years, including overnight stays and daily check-ins. I’ve cared for a variety of pets such as cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs! I’ve also trained multiple dogs of my own and attended formal training classes, so I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love building trust with every pet I care for. Hi! I’m a student-athlete at the University of New Mexico. I play hockey, I’m a runner, and I’m a lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m reliable, active, and always happy to help keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly lab to keep your dog company. Wherever your pet is, I will make absolutely sure that they are comfortable and are getting the love and other things they need.

About: I have had several years of experience taking care of dogs. I have 3 of my own and done house sittings. I love to play and love on the animals. I am available in the evenings to walk your dog, I can be flexible when needing to do drop ins or sitting. The dog will love the cuddling and hours of chasing balls and play time. I have had experience house sitting, however as I currently live in an apartment that does not allow animals I would ge unable to do any boarding. However I would not mind coming to your house where your dog may be more comfortable and sitting there, to help easy any anxiety the dog or you may have. Cant wait to meet you!

About: I have never NOT had pets of my own because a house feels empty without them. I love all sorts of critters and have pet sit for everything from birds to fish to pigs. I have a very flexible schedule and a large, fenced backyard. I mostly work from home but I do leave for site visits occasionally through the week, typically for a couple of hours. I also walk at least an hour a day so I'd love to take your doggy with me if they enjoy walks. I take my lead from the client on what type of care each pet needs. If appropriate, pets can have access to my fenced in yard. I can also take pets for walks. If your pup likes the park, I can easily make that happen! I do have one very social and sweet small dog of my own who loves making new friends.

“Courtney is awesome! Highly recommended for walks as she is friendly, courteous, and punctual. I can definitely tell that Scrappy Doo is ecstatic after a walk around the neighborhood with Courtney. He is definitely well taken care of in her presence.”
