“Tawnia did an excellent job checking on our finicky dogs. They behaved for her very well. I recommend Tawnia and I will use her in the future as a dog sitter when the need arises.”
“Kimberly watched our two cats over a long weekend. She did a great job sending us updates during her visits in our apartment and informing us what she did with our kitties! Our kitties felt well cared for and I’m appreciative of her time! I will definitely rebook!”
“I would highly recommend. They were very friendly when we met. They took care of my little puppy so well! There was lots of pictures and details given after every visit. They went above and beyond with the items I requested. Never late and stayed the whole time.”
“Brooke did a wonderful job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week and a half. Our cat is shy, but warmed up to Brooke after only a few days. Thank you for taking such good care of Nova!”
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.
“Kayla was amazing, never had a single worry, she sent pics and kept us updated which was wonderful. I would highly recommended using her for any pet needs.”
“Thank you Seneca! I appreciate you coming over to the house and giving Dante his medicine. I love the report you provide on his activity and pictures. You are a caring and loving dog mom!!”
About: I'll take your dog out for some fun and enriching exercise while peacefully training them to calmly follow along at your side with no pulling, whining, or reacting! I am a dog trainer, field biologist, and academic coach driven to lead people towards a mutually fulfilling life with their dogs, and to share my knowledge and wonder of nature to promote stewardship and love for all sentient beings. I have cared for family pets (cats, dogs, fish, rodents, rabbits, etc) throughout my life, and I have performed extensive animal husbandry during my PhD in Animal Behavior and Ecology (I have even trained and rehabbed hummingbirds!). I began formally dog walking and training in January 2025 and have helped each of my clients transform their relationships with their dogs by learning how to efficiently and peacefully communicate. I hope to: 1) refresh your dog's basic obedience and floppy leash walking skills; 2) help you be aware of your dog's body language, and your own habits; and 3) empower you to become the leader your dog needs! I am happy to offer free nail checks and trimming! 1% of all proceeds will go to Blackhat Humane Society, a Navajo Nation rescue/ foster organization where I adopted my service dog Louie from! I am currently based in Albuquerque, and I have a very flexible work and life schedule, so I can likely accommodate requests for walks at any time and frequency! I have an extensive experience house and pet (and plant!) sitting for family and friends, and I always treat clients' dogs and homes with utmost respect. I am currently unable to host pets in my home.
“Shene was amazing! Very quick to respond and help us out. And super sweet to our doggie! Definitely recommend 👍”
“Jana was awesome, she sent several photos every day so I could remain connected with the cats while I was away and I didn’t worry about them at all. Highly recommended!”
“Savannah did a wonderful job watching my cats this past weekend. She was willing to come to the house for a meet and greet the weekend prior and checked in with a Rover card and sweet photos of the cats during her drop-in. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ella is absolutely wonderful with my little guy!! Thank you so, so much for taking such great care of Gibson.”
“I've never used a service like Rover before, so I was initially a bit nervous with how my dog would respond to James visiting without my presence. However, James took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and was gentle and patient with my dog Riley. I appreciated his updates and photos while I was at work. I'm sure Riley will continue to warm up to James with continued visits.”
“Max dropped in to check on my two cats, fed and gave them some attention twice a day over Memorial Day weekend. I found them in good condition on my return. Thanks, Max!”
About: I love animals and have loved them my entire life. I believe that animals can touch the parts of our hearts that no human can. I love walking dogs and enjoy taking them out to explore the great outdoors. Every pet has a personality that is uniquely their own and discovering each and every one is a joy. I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep your pet healthy and happy until you return. Here's a link of an example of a typical walk. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/Vzk8zN8pcX0 My availability is fairly open so that I will be able to give quality care to your pet. I do have experience walking dogs for family members (four at a time) and I love how excited they get when they find out they're going for a walk.
“This was our first time using a service for our family pet. Patricia was excited to meet our elder dog and was so kind and loving. The experience with Patricia exceeded our expectations. We will request Patricia’s care again!”
“Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.”
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.

Erich E.
“Erich is an excellent dog trainer. I have watched the transformation of his own pup (Louie) go from undisciplined, bad mannered, over excited, and easily frightened to almost service dog level in just a few months. Erich is also great with my dog (Kaya), and has taught me how to correct a few bad habits we have, which cleared up fairly quickly. I know Erich loves spending time with both his own and other peoples four-legged friends, whether it’s walking, training, playing, or just relaxing. I definitely recommend him.”

Avonelle L.
“My mother has 6 dogs and is in her seventies. Avonelle was very caring and helpful and walked the dogs just about every morning and was able to give my mother a break. The dogs loved every minute especially Lila and her son Moses. Moses would literally playfully try to take the leash out of her hand, he was so excited! Afterwards the dogs would be tired, but happy. I would highly recommend her to any pet parents.”

Prospectors Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sierra was wonderful! Very dependable, trustworthy and great with our cats. She did all the extras while we were away and was flexible when our plans changed! Highly recommend!!
Jana provided excellent care to my two cats, Valentino and Kodiak. She ensured both cats took their medications, were fed. Most of all Jana played with them and comforted them while we were gone. Highly recommend!
I contacted Olivia only a few days before I was in need of someone to take care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She responded right away, came to do a meet-and-greet that same evening, and right away I knew that I could trust her with my baby. After booking her initially for drop-in visits, I asked her if she'd be willing to adjust the booking to staying overnight instead because I worried about my cat being lonely and scared of fireworks. Olivia didn't hesitate a second - she understood my needs and completely accommodated the change on short notice. She sent photos twice a day and communicated well. I am very grateful to have found her.
Stasia did drop in visits for three days to take care of my big dog. Her communication was great! She included pictures with each visit. She is reliable and trustworthy, follows directions well, and I would definitely use her services again.
Stephanie was great! She kept us up to date with our dogs and was very friendly through the whole process. We will definitely ask for her help again on our next trips!
I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Alexa took with my senior kitty. She was kind, responsible, communicative and definitely made my vacation worry free. It’s so wonderful to know you can go away and count on someone to be there for your furry family member.
Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.
Ella has done a great job taking care of my dogs every time she watches them. Great updates while I’m gone and she’ does a great job taking care of my older dogs.
This was our first time using a service for our family pet. Patricia was excited to meet our elder dog and was so kind and loving. The experience with Patricia exceeded our expectations. We will request Patricia’s care again!
Chris was great! He was very patient and thoughtful for my dogs, especially with Bruno. I highly recommend Chris.
This was the first time I used this site and I had Brigid come over and watch my two little girls for a couple of days. everything seems perfect The girls acted kind of weird when I came back, I'm thinking that they were just mad at me for deserting them I think they thought that they were up for adoption because some lady was coming to take care of them haha! I will definitely use them again. Thank you Brigid.
Rosa was awesome and the cats loved her! She is very good at communicating and a great pet sitter :)
Sharon was an excellent communicator and did a fantastic job taking care of our quirky cat during the holidays. We would absolutely hire her again!
Thank you for taking care of my three cats. They did well with you and I am happy with the care you provided them and me. Happy Holidays.
Mone was fantastic. This was my first time using rover and was very nervous about leaving my senior cat and kitten. She kept me in the loop at all times, took great care of my cats and super friendly. cannot recommend enough.
Jessica is terrific! Great communicator, reliable, and a natural with my pets. So happy to have found her!
