“Brandi and family were amazing! We left our 5 month old puppy with them for the first time, and for 10 days! He came home more well behaved than we left him, and happy and healthy, of course. I can't believe it! When we left, he was biting (playfully, but still) and we come home, and he's just giving kisses and coming when we call him! I think we found the miracle dog sitter!”
“Bonnie is an amazing sitter. Arlo loves staying at her place. She keeps us updated daily with pictures and texts. It is comforting to know that Bonnie is looking after Arlo and that he is having the best of times.”
“Ashleigh and her family were great with my two dogs. It had been awhile since I boarded them and she made them feel right at home and sent pictures of them and sent updates frequently during their stay and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. My return trip was delayed and she was accommodating and flexible with the pickup time. I’ll definitely rebook with Ashleigh for future trips!”
“She took a new dog with alot of unknowns on a very short notice for me and wife. She did an amazing job and my dog left happy both days and was excited to go back the second day. Im definitely going to use her again in the future.”
“Apollo can be a handful with his anxiety and reactivity, and Bri handled it beautifully. They had a rocky first night, because he kept barking at every small noise. After several hours of this, he had her a bit worried about whether or not she could get him to settle down and sleep. But she stuck with it and got him to calm down and pass out. From there the visit went great. She followed our feeding and medication instructions exactly, worked on some training with him during his stay, and did a nice job with redirecting his attention when he got reactive on walks. Communication was excellent throughout. I received regular photos and updates, and she flagged any concerns as they came up rather than letting them sit. The best sign of how the weekend went: at pickup, Apollo planted himself on and between her feet multiple times while we were talking about how the weekend went. He clearly trusts and adores her, which can be difficult given his anxiety. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“This was Ruby’s second time staying with Jenny and she ran right in! She was clearly excited to be back. Jenny sent wonderful photos and videos of Ruby playing and relaxing. Would definitely book again”
“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”
“Pat took care of my shy senior dog and treated her like a member of her family. Made sure to clarify my dog’s routines/preferences before the stay and provided timely updates. It felt good knowing my pup was in great hands.”
“My dog was clearly SO happy at Holly and Robert’s (haven’t seen him smile like that in a while!), and I will absolutely be booking them again!”
“Vicki was great! Our senior dogs warmed up to her right away, even though they are both very timid. The enjoyed couch cuddled with her all weekend. We would gladly book again with her!”
“Celine is always amazing! Our girl Juniper is eager to greet her every time and we get updates daily of her living her best life while staying with Celine!”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
“My fur baby absolutely loved her time with Hannah! She cared for her as I would. I would 100% recommend Hannah and her pet sitting services! Thank you Hannah was taking such phenomenal care of my baby!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”
“Jessa and Kevin took care of Milly for 11 days and I’m pretty sure Milly felt like she was on the vacation of her dreams. I got updates of her and how she’s doing everyday and Milly was well taken care of! Both Jessa and Kevin really treated Milly like she was their own and I was able to be on my trip worry-free. I will be booking with them again!”
“Leslie and James were so great to Angel. When I dropped him off I knew my little dog was in good hands. Leslie was very communicative on how he was doing in their home, and she even sent me pictures of him happily getting along with their sweet dogs. I am so grateful for Leslie and James taking him last minute. I know in the future we have a safe option for boarding Angel ☺️ 🐶”
“We're so grateful we found Bill, he and his wife are great people and you can tell they really care. Our pup is usually pitiful while we're away but he had a great time boarding with Bill. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rio Rancho
Booking Moby’s first Rover experience with Savvy was amazing! I requested a meet and greet since Moby is unsure of new people, and needs to get to know them at first and I appreciated the time and attention Savvy took to let Moby get to know her and get aquatinted before his stay. Savvy was patient and very attentive to Moby’s care and needs, especially him being a rescue. She even took the time to fix his harness he had chewed through during his stay ❤️🙏🏼🐾 Thank you Savvy for your amazing care and giving Moby a great staycation!
My doggy passed on last week, and I am still very heartbroken, but I wanted to leave a review for Billy. I travel extensively for work, and over the past 3 years or more I have trusted Billy to take care of Finn. Finn was a rescue pup 13 years ago and had a tough puppyhood and was very afraid of people. He warmed up to Billy pretty quickly, and I sometimes would have to leave him with Billy for 3 weeks to sometimes over a month as I work overseas. I would get regularly updated reports and pictures, and I always felt that Finn was in good safe hands. I highly recommend Billy, he is a serious, trustworthy and reliable person to leave your pet with!

94% of sitters in Rio Rancho can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rio Rancho home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rio Rancho.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rio Rancho sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

Every sitter 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NM ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
