“Our boy Angus was well cared for while staying with Brittany. This was the 1st time he has been away from the both of us over night, we were sure how he would do. Brittany sent us photos and videos. She answered any questions we had and measured us about his well being while we were away. We hope to book again in the future.”
“Vanessa is and Awesome Sitter! Such a caring animal lover. She was very flexible with my moving and logistics. We shuffled days a couple of times. Thank You So Much Vanessa”
“Pepper had a great time with Laura's family and their pup crew! She was so well cared for, got to take hikes and got all kinds of fun doggy play time. I loved all of the pictures and videos to ease my mind while I was away. I'm grateful to have found a sitter in the area we can count on :)”
“We were very reluctant to leave our newish rescue pup while we went out of town until we heard about Rover from a family member. We decided to check it out and did a lot of research before finding Peter and Mia. We met him for a courtesy meet & greet and things went way better than we expected! We left our pup knowing she would be in great hands and we were right! Peter and Mia are very knowledgeable and took such great care of our Cha Cha. She loves hiking so they took her on nature adventures everyday and Mia helped her adjust to her new scenery, quickly. Peter sent us the most gorgeous pictures of our Cha Cha and it helped ease our nerves about leaving our precious girl for 5 days. We literally can’t thank Peter and Mia enough for giving our pup such a great experience! We will tell everyone we know about how wonderful Peter and Mia are and we will continue to use him in the future.”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
About: I have officially being taking care of animals here in rover for about 2 years now. It’s definitely a passion of mine to properly take care of other animals and watch over them! Of course I have experience taking care of animals beyond my 2 years here on rover such as taking care of family members pet and also my own pets for my whole life! I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! (I also take pride in taking care of any fish, reptiles, or chickens!) I work a temporary traveling job, which means whatever my available states I’ll be home full time to provide your animals with 24/7 care and supervision! I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels and lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights. I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being and behavior. I also have a good eye in knowing if a dog is friendly or not with others so you can trust me with your pet being around others! I perform all these duties everyday with all animals I take care of like their my own because I wouldn’t want their care to be in the wrong hands!
“Emily is an incredible sitter. I get daily updates, I know my dog Kahlúa is safe and happy, and she comes home so tired from all the play and exercise she’s knocked out for the next two days. It’s a win-win!”
About: I have always had dogs. Love them just like a human. I will care for your dog kids just like my own with love and compassionate care I do work full time weekdays. I have a big yard with 2 different runs. One for small and for bigger dogs. Both runs have shade and access to water. My dogs are treated just like I would treat my human kids. They are in the house except for walks or potty breaks. Exercise is required as I live across the street from a park
“Arman was great to work with! He is very good at communicating and helped us through our first time using rover. He took good care of our dog and loved being there! He even sent us pictures to show how our dog was doing! Will rebook with Arman again!”
“Greg is SO wonderful! I felt so secure leaving our fur baby in his care. He kept us updated throughout our trip with adorable pictures and messages that really helped us while missing her. I know that she was well taken care of and will definitely use him again!”
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.

Whether you're a seasoned pet parent or thinking about welcoming a new companion into your home, I have your pet sitting/walks taken care of! I have experience from working with cats and dogs at a local animal hospital to experience with sick, hyper, reactive, difficult or just elderly dogs. I have been pet sitting/walking dogs for about 18 years and love all animals! I can not only provide you with peace of mind while you are away, but your furry loved ones will have the best care possible until you are back to them. I also have the same amount of experience with cats, lizards and other small mammals. I have some prior dog walk clients not on rover, so please reach out about my schedule. I look forward to meeting all your amazing animal companions! This will be my full time job. I am pursuing my dream finally and saving to open an actual boarding facility and then one day a rescue. Thank you for your support and I look forward to working with you. I will be doing drop in visits until my house is fully set up for overnight boarding. I have a kennel that is clean and disinfected that can be brought and used. I also keep your home clean, water any plants needed and provide treats if allowed.
“Miquela took great care of our feline during our 8 day absence. She is a great communicator and provided us pictures of our cat adapting to her surroundings. We would definitely recommend placing your cat in the care of Miquela. If we need a cat sitter in the future, we will definitely return to her. Thanks Miquela!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rio Rancho
Brian was fantastic with our cavapoo Albie. It was his first visit/ overnight with Brian who has been very attentive and sensitive toward Albie’s security and emotional needs. I am confident Albie will gradually become comfortable with a longer term stay we have planned later this year.
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!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.
