House Sitting Rancho Sereno

About: Volunteered at a vet clinic & pet sat for friends and family & discovered the joy of comforting pets when they're feeling anxious and home sick. I am pursuing a master's in computer science at UNM, and my schedule can be flexible. I will be home for the most part, but if I ever need to step away it's only for a couple hours. My boyfriend and I work as a team in caring for our dogs, and we do the same for our clients. It's normal for your pet to feel homesick, so we do our best to make them feel like they are at home and give them the quality time and affection they are used to from their loved ones ❤️ Baxter is 9 yo pit mix & Chiqui is an 8 yo Pomeranian/chihuahu. We have a small fenced yard and a kennel that Baxter uses for whenever we have to leave the house to run errands. Our dogs sleep in their beds upstairs in our bedroom, and we set up your pet's bed next to us as well. We typically ask clients to bring their pet's bed or crate/kennel and a blanket or toy they like to cuddle with to remind them of home 🤍 If you could also pack their food, food bowl, and leash for their stay, that would be great! 🐾

About: I grew up with animals my whole life. Ever since I was a little girl in my earliest memories I can remember having taken care of dogs, cats, and birds, and even Chickens!! I enjoy animals so much they make me very happy and always bring happiness to my home. I currently own one doggy and 1 cat and two birds that I love with all my heart, and I hope I can have the opportunity to take care of your pets too! My schedule is pretty busy during the week, but I’m available on weekends and some weekday evenings! Feel free to message me ahead of time so we can plan something that works :) I live in an apartment complex, and I can take your dog or cat for a walk around the neighborhood. There is also a park across the street in which I can take them for a walk with no problem!!

“Love Martina, she communicates well and takes good care of the dogs. This is the 3rd or 4th time I have used her. She is awesome, thank you for taking care of my home and the dogs”

“Abigail is the best! We’ve had her stay at our house with our dogs a few times now. She’s always quick to respond, asks the right questions, is a courteous house guest, and most importantly gets along splendidly with our dogs! We highly recommend Abigail.”

“We're so appreciate and can't thank Skyler enough for watching our pups on short notice! The dogs and house were very well cared for, in great hands, and we'd highly recommend Skyler!”

“Amber took good care of our pets. This was our first time using rover and a non family member to take care of our pets while away. Amber made me feel at ease and was really sweet and patient with our pets.”

About: In college I was a house and pet sitter. I have had pets since I was in elementary school and am now a senior. I currently have three dogs of my own. I’m emotionally intelligent and good to work with. I work a half day as an Occupational Therapist educator in Wednesdays and as an OT practitioner on Fridays. I would be available in the afternoons on these days. I will not take care of pets in my home but am happy to come to yours to care for, walk, pet and feed your fur babies.

About: I have taken care of dogs almost all my life. I feel like my calm demeanor allows me to get along with most dogs. I would appreciate the opportunity! I am a teacher and will be on my summer break. So I will have open availablility other than when I will be traveling which will be listed as the days I am not available. I will be sure to adhere to whatever service you request. I will not be able to host a dog but again will have open availability to go check on dogs in the comfort of their own home.

“Lucy is amazing! She house sat our pups for 5 days and provided us daily updates and pics. It was her first extended stay and most certainly not the last. Thank you Lucy for taking such care of our babies and showing them so much love!”

Christine W.

“We got our dog's cancer diagnosis shortly before Amber was scheduled to dog/house sit for us, so my anxiety was at an all time high. Amber provided detailed updates with photos and eased my anxiety greatly. The pups even liked her enough to sleep in bed with her where normally they keep their distance! We will absolutely use Amber in the future!”

Mary Beth S.

“Shakti is an amazing pet/house sitter! She is responsive and thorough, and she took great care of our dog and two cats. She followed instructions and went above and beyond by trying to mediate the ongoing drama we have between our two cats. We will definitely use her services again!”

Dana B.

“We had an absolutely amazing experience with our house and pet sitter! She stayed in our home and took such great care of everything. She even left the house exactly how we left it—if not better. We have three dogs (both large and small) and two cats, all ranging from young to elderly, and she handled all of their unique needs so well. She administered medications properly and made sure every pet was comfortable, safe, and happy. She adapted to what my pets needed to feel comfortable at night which I think is amazing! Honestly, I think our animals were more excited to see her than they were to see us when we got home—they were hoping it was her walking through the door! That says everything. She was also very proactive, reaching out ahead of time to gather all the necessary information and ensure everything went smoothly. Her communication throughout was outstanding—very detailed, consistent, and reassuring while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring.”

Kristina G.

“Miranda was awesome with Benji and was so conscientious! She sent regular updates and was great about communicating with me during the sit. I came home to a content puppy and a very tidy home. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!”

Victoria C.

“We were out of town when our dog sitter called and she had to go to the hospital. Jamie and Patrick stepped up big time and saved our vacation. I was so worried about my dogs and I was so far away from them, but she assured me not to worry she had it covered. She took exceptional care of my dogs and baked me a pie! They are absolute life savers!!”

Jenna R.

“Savanah did an amazing job dog sitting for us! She went above and beyond. Her communication was great with several photos being sent on a daily basis. Our two dogs loved her! She will be our go to dog sitter every time and we will recommend her to all our family and friends.”

Sarah J.

“Kilee did an amazing job taking care of Jon Jon!! We are so glad we found her!! Jon Jon is not easy till he gets used to someone new, but Kilee handled it very professionally!”

About: Hello! My name is Kailey… but you can call me KACI!🖤 I’ve dog-sit🐶, cat-sit🐱, guinea pig-sit🐹, bunny-sit🐰 and rat-sit🐀 since I was 16 for pets of all sizes and personalities. Hence, why I’ve finally chosen to create an account on Rover🐾! (see my testimonials so far). From a quick check-in to an extended stay, I’m here to provide you a reliable, attentive service creating happy experiences through safe and loving care focused on affection, routines, and stress-free time away.<3 I work part-time at a cafe (usually early mornings) and I’m also a Film student here at UNM🎥. Despite that, I have open availability and all the time in the world for your fluffy friends!☺️ I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly puppies; 2 miniature poodles (Leo and Raphael; boys) and 1 little wiener dog (Splinter; girl). They all follow morning and evening feeding schedules, regular outside time, as well as walks to our local dog park that’s just down the street from where I live!🏞️ When it’s time to settle down, they get put in there kennels at night… along with their many toys (their cuddle buddies). Aside from the occasional treat and many many cuddles, that’s about all that’s needed to keep them happy and healthy. c:

“Kat is the BEST!!! Our dog and cat adore this sitter. Kat sent pictures daily of the animals. Very grateful to have found this super reliable animal lover. After being gone for a week, didn't feel stressed at all leaving our home and pets.”

About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!
