“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maellen, she is my go-to when I need to board my dog. My dog is a very shy dog but has really come to trust Maellen and her husband. She loves their yard and all the walks! I look forward to booking Maellen in the future! She is amazing!”

“William and The Zoo were perfect for our dog: attentive and engaging. It was so nice to know he had company and plenty of playtime. William was friendly, flexible, and highly responsive!”

“Rebecca was fantastic, Our dog really bonded with her little girl. Rebecca sent constant updates and photos. We could tell that Cherry (our dog ) was happy and comfortable. I would not hesitate booking with Rebecca, she is a 5 star boarder. If we make another trip we will book with her for sure. Look no further, Rebecca is great.”

“Thank you so much, Boo had a lovely time she wasn’t stressed at all when we picked her up . I loved all the update pictures. Really put my mind at ease.”

“Savannah did an amazing job with Millie! Millie’s a bit shy and Savannah made her feel welcome and Millie definitely enjoyed her stay with her! Savannah would respond quickly and provide cute update pictures throughout the trip. Would definitely be booking with her again and recommend her to everyone!”

“Holly and Robert watched my dog Hazel for a few days while I was out of town. She got along great with the other dogs in the house, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands during her stay! The hosts regularly communicated with me and provided pictures, as well. I highly recommend Holly and Robert for your boarding or overnight needs in the Albuquerque area 🐶 🐾”

“Onrae was amazing! He met with us two consecutive days prior to the stay for a meet and greet to calm our fears of a first stay but a long stay for our sweet boy. He responded during the long stay with pictures and videos to let us know how our dog was doing. He was timely and very responsive and accommodating. Will certainly use him again!”

“I just want to give a big thank you to Chad for accepting my last-minute request to watch my dog, Luna. It meant so much to know she was in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate your time and the care you gave her. Thank you again for being available.”

“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”

“Sofie was the best! From our first communications, to the met and greet, to the end of the stay, she was flexible and friendly. I had no reservations about leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures everyday with a little update that confirmed she knew our dogs habits. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again myself!”

“Anne is awesome! She made me feel completely comfortable with leaving my 17 month Mini Aussie Shepherd for the weekend. She sent me pics of him playing with the other puppies ?. I have already recommended her to my friends.”

“Emily is an extraordinary Dog Sitter whom I trust wholeheartedly. I use her almost every other month for four days or so and I am always very very satisfied. She has a gem!”

“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”

“Kate was great! Our last sitter moved out of Albuquerque and Kate was able to watch our Gambit on short notice. She took great care of him and sent pics. Thank you, Kate! 🐾❤️”

“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”

“We just moved to the area, and needed a new rover sitter for a couple day trip. We made a couple changes to the itinerary as we went, and Esperita was incredibly accommodating. It is overwhelmingly apparent to us that Espirta cares for the animals we trust her with immensely, and we would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Elaine is the best! She took great care of our diabetic dog while we were visiting friends out of state, and was adept at giving Zoe her two shots of insulin every day. She kept in touch with emails and photos every day which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend her whether your pet is special needs or not! We are very happy to have found her on rover.com!”
Sandia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Chad is an easy-going guy who was very accommodating. Everything was packed up ready to go for pick up. He responds quickly in communications and enjoys having the animals around. He works from home so is available for those he’s caring for. Being left somewhere unknown was a new experience for my dog and she made known her displeasure with his dog on drop off. Chad took it in stride and, when her stay was over, he told me she had been a sweetheart to have in his home. So I know she received good care.

Sofie was the best! From our first communications, to the met and greet, to the end of the stay, she was flexible and friendly. I had no reservations about leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures everyday with a little update that confirmed she knew our dogs habits. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again myself!

My anxious Great Dane did really well in her care. I felt completely comfortable with her watching him just from the meet and greet! She wasn't afraid to gets hands on with redirecting him during moments of reactivity at the park, so I knew she was going to be a great fit for my dog. She followed our "rules" for him and updated us when needed. We will use her again!

Emily and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mr. Elwood. She was incredibly communicative, providing daily photos and status updates that kept my mind at ease. When Mr. Elwood faced some minor challenges, Emily handled them with grace and expertise, ensuring he remained safe and happy throughout. I’m so grateful for their support during my business travels. Highly recommended!

Rita is absolutely the best dog sitter around town. She sends morning and evening updates with pictures, and it's my favorite thing to see my babies having a great time while I'm on vacation. I cannot express how much we appreciate Rita, and knowing our girls are being taken care of so well is a great feeling. I definitely recommend her to watch your furry babies, too.

My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.

Absolutely the best ever!! Our dog was so very happy with Elena and her family. Safe, updates every day, pictures, great communication, very welcoming and friendly! Definitely recommend!! Elena provides above and beyond support and help and she and her boyfriend obviously love dogs!
