“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”
“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”
“Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Second time using Onrae and was just as pleased as I was the first time. Sent daily updates and videos so I could see that Daisy was being very well looked after. Highly recommend and will use him again”
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
“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! 🐾❤️”
“Fantastic experience with Josie and Paco feel like we left our dog with extended family. Luska will miss them terribly. Communication was great, the updates made us feel better about leaving our puppy. Thanks again, Josie”
“Great communication with text and pictures daily she took extra special care of our pup! She made him feel loved! Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“If I could give more than five stars I would. It was our girls first time away from us after being rescued from the shelter. She had a blast. She was smiling in so many pictures it was awesome. She will not be going anywhere else as long as we live ABQ.”
About: I’ve dog sat for most of my life, I have a love for all dogs and deeply believe dogs are family and should be treated and cared for as such I currently work full time on the weekends so I am usually off on weekdays and would love some company cuddling on the couch or walks I have a fenced yard and almost a half acre to run around. I have two beagles and a little yorkie that will keep your pup company.
“I absolute loved her! She made me feel so comfortable with my two small babies. She gave me constant updates and pictures of them everyday. I appreciate her making it easy for me to leave my babies for a whole week! Thanks again”
“Bonni is wonderful with Spike. She's patient and understanding of my old guy. This is important since he's deaf and nearly blind. We trust her absolutely.”
“Debbie was the perfect sitter for my dog. She was very responsive from inquiry and meet and greet to booking through boarding and pickup. She treated My dog like one of her own. My dog who is normally nervous when meeting new people and dogs took right to Debbie and her dogs. Whether looking for boarding or just day care I would recommend her. I will be using her services in the future. Thanks Debbie for taking care of BeBe!”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”
“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”
“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.”
Sandia dog parents share their Rover experiences
We were really nervous leaving our Demi for the first time. Kimberly was reassuring and sent daily updates. Demi did not come back with any bad habits; she seemed extremely happy, and I would definitely use Kimberly again. She cares deeply for the pets she cares for.
This was my first time leaving my two dogs overnight at a strangers house and I'm so glad it was with Marissa!! She both reassured the dogs, AND she also was reassuring to me - and that helped a lot. She sent me updates and photos and took really good care of my two dogs that were not at all used to staying somewhere other than my house. It felt to me like she got to know each dog personally, not just give them food and shelter for the night... I would certainly book with her again when the need arises!!
Maellen did a wonderful job watching our Lab while we were out of town. She installed complete conference with us and updated us with photos and messages while we were gone. She made our Lab feel at home and was well taken care of. She is great with taking care of your pets and we would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.
Highly recommend Adam! He provides updates throughout the stay and his dog gets along great with my husky and golden retriever. My dogs love coming to his house for stays! They learned how to use the dog door to his fenced in backyard right away and make themselves right at home. Adam has been a consistent Rover for 3 years now for my dogs. Thank you for everything, Adam! Love from Kia and Buoy.
We have been using Rover for years, and William is by far the best sitter we have ever found. His home is perfectly set up for dogs, creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. It was clear that William genuinely enjoyed having them around, which gave us total peace of mind during our trip. We knew our babies were in the best possible hands. Highly recommended!
I can’t say enough good things about the care my dogs received. I had to leave my three very anxious dogs overnight during a stressful move, and she went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and comfortable. She didn’t just watch them, she truly cared for them, paying attention to their needs and giving them patience and reassurance. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me real peace of mind during a chaotic time. I picked them up calm and well cared for, which says everything. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone, especially if your pets need extra love and attention.
