About: I have 3 dogs of my own right now and I've always loved animals growing up . Family Doggy Day Care offers a welcoming environment where pets are treated like our own. With extensive experience in pet care, I provide personalized and attentive care, I prioritize constant communication and attention to detail. My flexible services, reliability, and genuine love for animals make me a trusted choice as your pet sitter. I prioritize pet care by dedicating specific time slots throughout the day for feeding, walking, playtime, and providing overall attentive care based on the pet's needs and routine. I'm a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time to spend with my pets. I like to stick to routines as much as possible with my animals. I usually wake up around 7am to let my babies go use the bathroom and run around then they come inside and eat their food at their leisure. Safety, trust & environment If your pets tend to be escape artists, we have a seperate room as well as enclosures outside to insure they will not get away. I also have a big yard where they can run around or just lay under a tree. Accomodations are made for them to sleep inside or outside the house, with me and my dogs. You can bring your own doggy bed or they can always borrow one of ours! Pets will have access to a secure, fenced yard for supervised outdoor playtime, with plenty of shade from trees. a comfortable and pet-friendly environment will be provided, including cozy sleeping areas and access to fresh water. We will prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets at all times, closely monitoring their activities and interactions. Adhering to any special instructions or dietary restrictions, I will maintain a clean environment, regularly cleaning up after pets. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

About: I have had dogs ranging from 5-120 lbs throughout my life. We have fostered shy dogs, energetic dogs, and everything in-between. I am familiar with administering time sensitive medication, and I am perfectly confident with specific instructions for care. I have a dog wash set-up that we utilize for our own furry friends, and I would be happy to extend that to yours as well! I spend intentional, one on one time with every dog that stays here, and I make sure they have plenty of play time, couch time, and playful interaction with other dogs (if they're social!). Your fur baby will feel like they're on a mini vacation. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and am able to give a ton of one on one time to each dog that is in my care. I love taking them on walks, too, so if that is something your pet needs, please let me know! I have a fully brick walled back yard, and 1 dog of my own. He is fixed and gets along very well with the ladies, but he likes to be the only boy. If my services are requested for a male dog, I am able to keep them separated with 100% confidence. If your dog gets along with other dogs, they will absolutely be able to run around in our yard. I have experience with intact males and females as well as spayed/neutered ones, and can and will keep dogs separate if needed/wanted. We have a dog bath, brushes, blankets, toys, and balls, but please feel free to bring your own! While I do have cats, they are kept separate from the dogs, so there is no risk of them interacting. I do not offer drop-in services for dogs.

About: I have grown up with numerous pets of different sizes since a child. Having my own dog I understand the essentials of dog care and take pride in the effort I put in to make sure his needs are met. Every pet deserves to be cared for as much as they care for us. I look forward to meeting your amazing pets and doing all I can to ensure they receive every bit of care they deserve! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have availability in the mornings, some lunches, and afternoons. I prioritize their needs alongside my own commitments, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in their homes, I ensure the pet goes potty as many times instructed or needed, they eat their food with any medications needed, they get plenty of loving, and go on any walks requested.

About: I have been house/pet sitting for about 3 years for a few families in town! I have experience with small dogs, bigger dogs, and special needs dogs. I am prompt to feed them, take them outside, or give them medicine if needed. They are important to me and I will love on them any chance I get! I am a stay at home mom but can always make time for your pets! I have lots of help here in town so I will never need to take my child with me to care for your pet. I don’t have a strict schedule, so I can basically help at anytime of the day except late at night! :) I have always taken care of pets at the owners home. I am very attentive to your animals needs and will love on them as much as they want. The families I pet sit for never have any problems!

About: I have raised all types of animals and I have watched peoples pets for them for over 6 years now. My main dog I watched for a couple years was a 17 year old blind poodle so I have experience with special needs. These are not just pets to me they are family. My own dog I have had since he was born and he will be 12 this January. He is my first born child. I have tons of experience with small animals and cats as well. What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassionate nature and love for animals of all sizes and types. I'm a caring loving mother not just to my children but to all species as well and I can not wait to hear from you!

About: I've always loved and cared for a variety of animals. Even fostered for rescue helping over 13 pets, one year, find their forever homes and not having to stay in the shelter. I arrive at every job with my teen who has been joining me on every job since day ONE in 2021. Doing this has allowed us to be better suited to finding a comfort zone per pet. If they are more comfortable with her, I can sit back and not force your pet to deal with uncomfortable situations in your absence. If they are more rambunctious and need firmer control, I am able to step in and keep everyone safe. But the teen lives for claw tats and is not fearful of animals either. We want to know what makes your pet unique and happy. What comforts them and what to avoid. What is their favorite treat and their biggest fear. Are they ok when thunder happens or do we need to hold their paw? Your pets become our family while you are away and we are happy to send you obsessive amount of pictures, provided the app doesn't freeze up on us, and updates. We're not afraid of asking questions for clarity. We have not met anyone too complicated yet, and we are happy to work with adjusting schedules. Military, medical and work can all change on a dime, and we're here for it. We understand that we live in a spread out area and we can work something out that works for everyone. We generally respond quickly and are open to answering questions. We can't wait to work with you and your family, see you soon!! I am a single mom looking for ways to keep up and still be available for my children. As such I am also very available for your pets needs as well. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time. I do plan to open these services up when the possibility arises though.

About: Full BASE access🔓🤗 Hi, I’m Hannah! I have hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’ve grown up around a variety of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. I’m comfortable administering oral medications (including non-chewable pills and syringe liquids) and always handle pets with patience and care. I’m especially great with puppies—whether they’re working on potty training or building confidence through positive reinforcement. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I work on Cannon AFB with a Panama schedule, however, I make sure to have my profile updated weekly for your convenience. Use link: https://www.rover.com/sit/hannam01192 for $20 off your first booking with me! Feel free to send any special instructions for your pet—I’m committed to following them closely. I always prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and familiar as possible to minimize stress and help them feel comfortable to build trust with me, especially when adjusting to someone new.

About: I've had dogs everyday my whole life growing up, mostly big dogs. I have two large dogs and I help watch my pastors dogs frequently. I am a stay at home husband (temporarily) until my Air Force wife moves us to New Mexico. My schedule is very open and I love dogs, so why not play with dogs for the time being. My dogs are Crate trained, and I respect your dogs and property as if they were my own. Do right by others, even when no one is watching.

About: Hello my name is Aléna, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was little. Animals are so amazing to me and I love their personality’s. Looking forward to meeting you pet. My availability is really open, don’t have any dogs of my own, but grew up with them. I miss the connection. So I thought, I would put myself out there, to help service them. In my home I care for my cat Bella by giving her lots of love and making sure to keep her litter box cleaned and let her have her outside time around the yard. My cat Toby, I give him treats and try to teach him some tricks. Give lots of attention and time to play with his toys. He’s a little monster but I love him. Having a clean environment is not only necessary for your animals but yourself. I do the litter box multiple times a week.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Portales

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Portales on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 55 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Portales. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Portales. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Portales.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
