“Brian is extremely thoughtful and reliable. My pup recently escaped from a different doggy daycare but I feel safe leaving her with Brian. He is very attentive and patient with my anxious pup. He keeps his pack limited to very well-behaved gentle dogs. Highly recommend Brian!”
“Brandi is so wonderful and patient. We were visiting in the area and I wanted to take my son to the Rodeo for the 1st time. So we neededa sitter for our Beagle, Bailey last minute. Brandi responded very quickly and kept us updated throughout the day. Thank you Brandi for taking care of Bailey so we could make some amazing memories.”
“Once again Celio did a great job watching one of my dogs. I just adopted Paco, who had surgery and I needed help with him after surgery due to work demands. Celio took such good care of him - gave him his meds, made sure his stitches looked ok, and really just treated him like his own dog AND sent me many pictures. Celio is awesome!”

“Lauren was incredible. Flexible hours, safe yard, and a lot of love given to our fur baby. We're visiting the area and our dog having a safe and fun place to stay while we went to the amusement park meant us having a great time too. Thank you Lauren!!”
“Cecilia and family were very kind and understanding of Buffalo’s insecurity being left behind. Her dogs were very kind with my dog and had no issues. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures that reassured me that Buffalo was comfortable and safe.”

“My dog had a blast playing with the other dogs at the house! Brittany was great to communicate with and very flexible with scheduling. I will definitely plan more play dates with her and her pups!”
“I've never left my dog with anyone in 5 years. Arysta earned my trust immediately. She reassured me with pictures throughout the morning and I never once thought he wasn't in great hands. Can't praise her enough”
About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.
“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child. Over the years I’ve grown to know more and more about animals and it has helped me care for my own fur babies. I’ve had a few family friends and family members count on me to check in on their pets or sit them when they’re not able to be home and they’ve continued to count on me. I also have experience caring for exotic animals. Anyone who needs care for those pets can message me as well! ** Please feel free to ask me about my coupon code for $20 off your first booking on rover :) ** I’m working part time and go to school full time so I have plenty of time for your pets on weekends and in between my work schedule! I have a fenced yard and 2 pups to keep your pet company. I also have a guinea pig who stays in his own room! I have two extra bowls I can provide if needed and an extra large crate to fit dogs up to approximately 100 pounds
About: Welcome to personalized care for your beloved furry friends! As a dedicated dog sitter (or cats,bunny,guinea pigs, birds, you name it!) I offer more than just sitting; I provide a tail-wagging experience filled with love, attention, and playful adventures. With a keen eye for each pup's needs and a passion for creating a safe and joyful environment. I'll ensure your dog feels right at home when you can't be there. Let's make their time away from home an unforgettable tail-wagging adventure! Jumping into experience and home life: I have taken care of pets, dogs specifically, since I was 9 years old. I am currently a stay at home mommy to my son (3 years old) and to our 3 bundles of joy. I love animals so much. They are more than just a pet or an animal, they are family. I will take care of yours with soft and gentle arms, as if they were my own. I do not professionally train, although both of my dogs are very good at what I have taught, (tricks and such). I also have no problems administering medications. I want to provide you a stress free getaway while know your babies are safe and sound. I will always send daily photos and/or videos of how your babies are adjusting to their stay. Our household is me, my fiance, our son and our three dogs. All of which will care for your babies just as much. I love that Rover allows us to provide personable stays to allow 1x1 tailored time with your pet that eases a lot of stress for everyone. I own an at home dog grooming kit which includes a dog vacuum that combs them while taking out the excess fur. Let me know if you need any deshedding services! My availability is totally available everyday! I work from home so I’m here on call for sure! If you are in need of drop-in visits, my fiance does come along for meet and greets and occasional visits as well. In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets. This includes maintaining a consistent feeding and exercise schedule tailored to each pets needs. I ensure plenty of playtime and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. Additionally, I maintain cleanliness by regularly cleaning feeding areas, litter boxes, and any pet messes promptly. Above all, I provide affectionate companionship and attentive care to make sure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
“Lisa was absolutely lovely and my shy little dog was instantly comfortable with her. Lisa is very responsive given that I had a last-minute need for doggy daycare on an on a weekend day and she got back to me very quickly which I was grateful for. She has a kind, gentle demeanor, and from the videos she sent me, I got to see her adorable little poodle socializing with my pup. Maisie, my girl, clearly enjoyed it because het tail was wagging madly when they were together in the pictures and video. I’m so glad to have found Lisa and know that there’s someone really good in the New Rochelle Mamaroneck area”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rio Rancho commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 243 sitters in Rio Rancho, 92% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
