“Would book again! Megan was a gem! I She took care of my two chi-poos for 3 nights. She’s friendly, respectful, and caring. When I dropped off my two girls, her kiddos and senior dog eagerly greeted my pack. Her dog is calm and tolerant to my more vocal chihuahua - which is always a must when I am looking for a boarder! Megan was attention to the particular needs of each of my dogs. She administered eye drops with no issues. Her kiddos entertained my girls with fetch, cuddles, and attention per the photos I received! She was accommodating, communicative, and responsive the whole weekend! Overall, I feel confident in recommending her to anyone looking for a loving and safe place to leave their fur babies!”
“CK is awesome. She was so great with Bert! He had a great time hanging out with her and Coco. She is so accommodating and loving. We are looking forward to having her take care of Bert again soon. Highly recommended.”
“Crystal took such good care of my older lab. He has anxiety when he’s away from home. She sent pictures and videos everyday to me to assure me he was doing well. I’m so glad we found someone that cares and loves fur babies. We will be contacting Crystal again when we travel. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Jason stayed in touch and sent pictures of Boogie having a good time on walks and hanging out. Boogie gets anxious and bored when he stays at the kennel, but this time he was happy and calm when I picked him up. He was obviously well cared for and had a great time with Jason and his new doggy friends!”

“Emily is totally awesome! I had a bit of apprehension as my dog is a 2 yr. Malinois and requires a LOT of activity but after a ‘meet & greet’ and a short trial run she went above & beyond my expectations! She has a GSD the same age , Jasper, which helps a lot also. Her yard is immaculate also which was a plus. In the future I will always use Emily! I feel fortunate to have found her! I even arrived really late from the airport due to issues with United Airlines and she was very gracious!”
“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’ve had a dog since I was 10, and over the years, I've grown as a dog owner, continuously learning new skills and understanding the importance of training. I have a strong foundation in dog training, covering everything from basic commands like sit, stay, and come, to fun tricks like high five, spin, and kiss! I also firmly believe that dogs are family and should be treated with the same love and care. I'm a morning person, so I start the day with a quick walk for the dogs. I have a flexible full-time job, allowing me to check on them during lunch for a bathroom break, snack, and maybe another walk. After work, I spend the first hour decompressing and giving the dogs my full attention before continuing with my evening routine. I have a fenced front yard where the doggies can sunbathe and conduct quick bathroom breaks. I also have two friendly dogs, an Italian Greyhound Chihuahua and a Blue Heeler. To get comfortable with their guest my dogs insist on a friendly walk around a neighborhood. Once my dogs are comfortable with their guest, they will quickly become friends. My Chihuahua mix takes a little more effort to impress but he’s content to just watch his sister and their friend play.
“Christina was great! She kept us updated throughout our pups stay. Bree had a great time with her other boarder pup. Christina was very professional and we ( and Bree) liked her so much we are interested in setting up regular doggy daycare days!”

I provide loving, attentive care by following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Their health and safety is the most important priority for me when taking care of your four-legged family.
“Dylan was very responsive to my last minute 4th of July booking request. He took care of my anxious pup during the fireworks, which left me with peace of mind while I was at work. He was very flexible with pickup/drop off. Thanks, Dylan!”
“Kathleen was very polite and professional. She was responsive in returning messages and sent me several photos and videos everyday of Baron. Kathleen took wonderful care of my dog and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I was extremely nervous using this site for the first time but Kathleen quickly put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her for all future pet sitting needs. Baron had a great time!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rio Rancho
Words cannot describe. First time boarding with her and my pup was taken care off by Brandi and she went above and beyond! My pup had broken his dew claw and she wrapped and cleaned it while I was out of state on vacation. She gave me daily updates with pictures and responded to all my questions and text within just a few minutes! She also took him last minute which was another amazing factor. I won’t be using anyone else if I can help it
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!

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 342 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rio Rancho. About 94% of Rio Rancho sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
