“Brigit was AWESOME! Got photos and updates every day, house was left perfect, and I felt my furries were well card for, my house was safe, and Brigit did everything asked. I was nervous on the frontside, as I've had bad sitters before. Not anymore! I will use Brigit every time-if she is available! Thank you Brigit!”
“Fantastic sitter. Took loving care of Tigger and you could tell they bonded. Kira left the house in excellent condition. Definitely would hire her again. Thank you for a well job done.”
“We are thrilled to find such a great pet sitter! Our 2 small dogs love Marilyn! She took great care of them, taking them for walks and she sent pictures during the stay, which was very nice!! We have trust and co fierce in her, and have already booked her again!”
“Leah was more than a dream come true for me. My dogs gravitated towards her and she was very thoughtful and thorough with her care. I couldn’t ask for more from her. Leah sent many photos and videos and made sure to help even my anxieties. So fortunate to have found Leah!”
“Sheyenne was wonderfully accommodating with Shadow’s needs. She let Shadow sleep on the bed with her and gave her lots of love and petting. I would use Sheyenne again in a heartbeat!”
About: I go by Seven, I was born on a farm, I’ve worked with animals of the farm variety and of course, cats, dogs, and many more sense I was young. Volunteered at animal shelter, vets office, and farm animal facilities. I’m currently a UNM student so all my babies are at home but I plan to have my ESA Rosy join me soon, so I don’t see animals often outside of meeting fellow students pets. I have spent most of my years growing up with and around animals and have a lot of love and experience with them! I have classes m/w/f from 10am-3/1pm but other than that I’m free for any kind of help! I make sure to ask what rules or regulations have to be followed for both pet, home, and routine. I never wanna stress a pet out or an owner so I love to send photos and updates the whole time I’m there as well as make sure everyone is comfortable and happy with the job and care I give.
“Hoss is amazing!!! They were available on unreasonably short notice when the original sitter I had booked randomly disappeared. Our dogs were obsessed with Hoss from the first moment, and I have no doubt our precious ones felt safe and cared for the entire time. On top of looking after two finicky pups (one is elderly and requires medication, one is shy and stubborn, and they are both bratty), they took great care of our home and made sure to send us updates, even going out of their way to hand feed our little girl her kibbles when she went on hunger strike because of our absence. Hoss is attentive and understanding, a true animal lover. And to top it all off they have a great personality, radiating kindness and fun energy. We would be lucky to have them sit for us again. 10/10 highly recommend.”
“Jennifer did an amazing job, she gave regular updates while we were away and took great care of the house and the animals. I can definitely recommend her! Thank you”
“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”
“Kristen did an amazing job watching our animals! She also gave me some very helpful feedback about interacting with my new pit bull. She is a great and experienced dog person and our animals love her.”
“Pauline was amazing!! Our pup and bunny were so well over and cared for while we were away. We would highly recommend Pauline and we cannot wait to have her pet sit for us again!”
“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”
“Amaya was such a wonderful sitter to my dog Zelee! She was warm, communicative, flexible, respectful, and attentive to Zelee’s needs as well as my own. I would definitely recommend her and book her again for a future housesit!”
“Rose did a great job with my very shy and anxious kitty! Normally my cat hides in my bedroom the entire time I have a sitter... because Rose was patient and respectful of her majesty's boundaries, my girl felt comfortable enough to roam around the house, jump up on windowsills, and gaze out the front door - all things she normally doesn't do with a sitter. Definitely will hire Rose again!”
“Abrianna was great! Kind, conscientious, my beasties loved her and happy when we got home. House was clean. She kept in great communication with us and was just a delight. We will definitely use her again.”
Sandia pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kirsten was great with my dog and cat! I had a slightly last minute 4 day trip and she was able to still come over for a meet and greet beforehand and then watch my fur babies for those few days. Kristen stayed overnight and walked my dog during the day which he absolutely loved. She provided great updates and pictures while watching them. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be planning on reaching out when needed in the future!
Madelynne was very good with our cats and senior dogs. We aren't always comfortable leaving them with sitters as they've gotten older. She had to deal with a small medical emergency with one of our senior dogs, and administer medicine. She did great. All dogs and cats were comfortable and happy when we got home, and the house was tidy. Would definitely book again, and recommend booking with her. Thanks, Madelynne!
Paulina is great and made this such a smooth experience. Not only did she take our booking on a short notice, but also updated us with messages and photos and I felt stress free on my trip knowing my dogs were in good hands! I would definitely book Paulina again! Thank you!
Yet again, Autumn went above and beyond in taking care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She sent awesome pictures that showed how well they were getting along, and stayed an extra night when I had to change my travel plans. I trust Autumn completely with my animals, and my animals are my life. I know that she loves my fur kids, too. Very grateful to have found her!
Hutch and her husband took amazing care of our dog! Between them, he got two long walks daily, and plenty of love and care. She also took great care of our plants, and our home looked great/clean when we returned. We highly recommend Hutch and her husband, and look forward to hiring them again!
From all signs Abrianna worked magic with our Taitie. He can be very independent but also very loving. When Abri came for our meet-and-greet, Taitie warmed up to her immediately, which is not his usual reaction. We were reassured by that interaction, as we were by the pictures and video she texted us while away, that he was with someone who genuinely cared about him. Clearly, Taitie was reassured as well. A win-win!
A dedicated, trustworthy sitter. Daniel went the extra mile in so many regards for us yet again, we wouldn't have anyone else. Our 2025 Christmas trip ended in a twelve hour delay through Ohare International. Daniel was gracious and accommodated us through that delay, kept us updated, and stayed flexible as weather and other unforeseen issues kept cropping up late into the night. Arriving home at 4am to well cared for dogs and hotel level preparations + cleaning was amazing. It isn't the first time Daniel has left the place better than he found it; it's an extraordinary level of care for a home. The most important thing is the care he gives our pups. It's easy to see that they've had the company they needed. They're not in a panic and they're properly fed. We have three fifty pound females that are a handful. They don't like to eat when we're gone, and they have resource guarding problems that Daniel has always managed extremely well. This time was no exception. We got daily pictures and updates and the ladies ate every day which is no small feat. I'm sure we're going to still be finding the above-and-beyond things he did for us for the next several days. Laundered linens, bonus snacks, and pressure-washed patio pavement (just cause he likes doing it!) are the tip of the iceberg. We're so grateful to have managed to book him in time for this trip, holiday travel is stressful enough and not having to worry about our ladies or home is the biggest relief. Thank you Daniel!
This is my second time having Aislyn take care of my animals and couldn’t recommend them more. Every one of my requests was followed and the dogs and cat were happy and healthy when I got home. Aislyn made me feel super comfortable since this was the longest I’d be away in nearly 10 years. When a flight snafu caused me to need to extend care for another 24 hours, Aislyn was super flexible and quick to reply so I could focus on the stressful travel changes. If I ever go out of town again, I wouldn’t care to use anyone else!
I cannot recommend Sandra enough!! She is truly an exceptional pet sitter. From the moment she first met my pets, it was clear she had a natural gift for connecting with animals. My dog, who is usually timid, warmed up to her instantly, and my cat (a certified professional skeptic) took a liking to her — which says everything. Throughout the entire week and half I was out of town, Sandra went above and beyond. They followed every care detail perfectly, kept the feeding and schedule consistent, and took the time to play, cuddle, and comfort both pets so they never felt lonely. I received frequent updates with photos and thoughtful notes that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. When I returned home, my pets were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved — my dog even looked around the house expecting their new best friend to still be there. The house was spotless, food and water bowls clean, and everything in perfect order. She even left me a thank you note! If you’re searching for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, genuinely caring, and treats your pets like their own, stop looking — Sandra is the one. I am so incredibly grateful for the peace of mind she provided while I was away. I will absolutely be booking with her again! Five stars truly don’t feel like enough.
Talia house sat for me right before the Thanksgiving holiday. I reached out relatively late and Talia got back to me really quickly and set up a meet a greet. My pup seemed happy when I got home and the house was in great condition. Talia even cleaned up when my neighbor dog broke in an tipped over a plant! 🙃 Grateful!
Renee would be given more than five stars if that were an option! She took wonderful care of our cat and dog, who has eye care needs. We returned from our trip to two very happy furry babies! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in such loving hands. I highly recommend, Renee! Our furry babies, loved her!
