Cassandra was an excellent sitter. Communication was great, and she went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t have to worry about the dogs or the house while we were gone. Will definitely be using her as a repeat sitter!

About: My name Christina, I have been around pets all my life. My daughter has been doing Rover for over 6 years and she absolutely loves it! So, I decided to sign up! When my daughter was moving back from Alabama to New Mexico, I took care of her cat and dog for about 3 weeks. I fed them, walked her dog and gave them plenty of love until she returned. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. My schedule fluctuates because I have a part time job and the hours vary. So, we can talk about the schedule prior to booking. I would love to take care of your fur babies because I would treat them like my grand babies like my daughters babies and give lots of loving and care while you are away. My daughters fur babies & their personalities: She cat and a dog. Tucker is the most laid back cat you will ever meet. You can literally carry him like a baby. He is great for introducing dogs that have never met cats before. **Please be mindful though, if your dog does not like cats. Please please please let me know that when you message me.* Yoshi is the only dog. Yoshi is a Shiba Inu who loves loves loves to play! I got Yoshi about 6 years ago. My pets are fully vaccinated and gets flee medication once a month. He is neutered. Yoshi, is a Shiba and if you know anything about Shiba's they can have temperamental personalities. Yoshi gets along with other dogs but on his time. He does not like over dominate/ over aggressive dogs. If your dog displays that, please be mindful, honest and upfront about the dynamics. Your animals are top priority when it comes to safety as well as my daughter animals. Cancellation Policy: If you book a stay with me. You will have 3-days before the start of the stay to cancel to get a full refund. If you cancel after the 3-days, you will be refunded 50% of the stay. The the 3-day policy in place, because I value your time and mine as well. I understand when unforeseen things happen. When I commit to booking with you, I decline all other bookings if the other booking dates conflict with your booking date to ensure that your animals will receive the best care. If you cancel after, I will not be able to recover from the other bookings in a short time span. This is first on my bio so you completely understand what the cancellation process is, so you can prepare for it ahead of time. Thank you in advance for understanding. First book, first serve: When booking for my services, I implement a first come, first serve service. More like first book, first serve. If a booking request is sent to me but not paid for in full, the booking is still pending. Meaning the dates requested will still be open for another client to book. If I receive a booking and it is completely booked and paid for then those dates will be blocked off my calendar to ensure that another client can't book during those dates.

Jennifer is everything you would want in a pet sitter - responsive, reliable, and goes the extra mile. She visits our cats when we go away. She is quick to respond and I don’t worry for a second about them while in her care. She also goes above and beyond- taking empty cat food cans to outside recycling and making sure the food space stays clean.

Jana did a great job taking care of my cat when my travel plans changed unexpectedly. Her drop in visits were perfect for giving him some play time and attention along with his meals, and the daily pics were super reassuring. We will definitely hire her again!

Leaving our cats and dog with someone new made me nervous, but Luca completely exceeded my expectations. Luca came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and asked questions about our cats and dog's routine. Luca sent multiple photos daily, giving total peace of mind. I highly recommend and will absolutely booking again.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I have two sweet Pitbull-Lab mixes at home who’ve taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. I have hands-on experience with administering medication (oral and topical) and even diapering pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or needs special attention, I’m confident in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for them. I proudly service Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, and parts of the East Mountain villages. I’m happy to work with your schedule, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and detail-oriented, I’m your person. Let’s set up a meet and greet! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have two Pitbull-Lab mixes who keep me on my toes! Between walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles, I’m used to building my day around pets and their needs. Taking care of other people’s pets just feels like a natural extension of what I already do. I’m flexible with my schedule and love being around animals, so whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to make it work! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine with feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and all the cuddles they want! I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.

Heaven is just wonderful! When we did our meet and greet, I found that she had read both of my big dogs' profiles. She asked relevant questions about each dog's health and medical needs. She came wearing a small bell so that my blind dog would know where she was--so smart and thoughtful! Upon successive drop in visits, she made sure to follow all directions, gave each dog individual attention and belly rubs (which they loved!) and also made sure they had a backyard visit. She sent pictures and notes following each visit. It is very obvious that Heaven has dog experience and takes their care seriously. I am looking forward to using her services in the future and feel very happy to have found her!

About: I have been surrounded by different types of pets throughout my life. I enjoy nourishing and playing with any pet. I have a pet myself who loves the park and staying fit. I am a recent graduate student who is currently preparing for the next phase of life. I am available to take good care of a fluffer friend during weekdays. I usually take my dog to the park twice a day. She loves playing frisbee and making new interactions with anyone. Her name is Mocha Bear and she values when mom follows her daily routine consistently.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every pet has unique needs and deserves patience, love, and attention. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), potty breaks, and plenty of affection while you’re away. I know how important it is to keep owners updated, so I’ll send photos and messages to give you peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide dependable drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. I’ll work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra playtime, I’m happy to help. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, medications (if needed), and exercise preferences. During walks, I’ll use secure leashes and pay close attention to our surroundings to keep your pet safe. I’ll also treat your home with respect and send photo and text updates after every visit so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I grew up in a family that has dogs and I’ve spent my whole life catering to animals. I have so much love for animals and it is apparent they can feel that when I play with them or spend a lot of time with one animal. I am a very trustworthy person as I have had many new people I've met choose me to house sit, walk their dog, feed their cat, or simply let their dogs out for 30 minutes at a time. I work only three days a week and have free time to prioritize what REALLY matters, your furry friend! ❤️ I work three days a week at a dental practice in Park City, so have four days of the week to pet sit. I love hanging out with animals so this is exactly how I want to spend my time off! I have a fenced yard and if boarding at my house, I have two medium sized dogs who are very friendly and loving. I have dog beds and crates if that’s what makes your pup comfortable. I live in a safe neighborhood so I’m always walking around. I frequently go to Tanner Park, Dimple Dell, hang in my big backyard or walk around my neighborhood. Your dog will be in heaven!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently care for two cats and a dog of my own. I’m very comfortable with daily routines, playtime, feeding, and giving pets lots of attention and love. I also frequently dog sit for friends when they’re out of town, so I understand how important it is to provide reliable, trustworthy care while you’re away. I’m currently a psychology doctoral student finishing my final year, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so I’m excited to make some new furry friends while providing reliable, attentive care! I treat every pet like my own, with safety and trust as my top priorities. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, and surroundings, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I aim to create a calm, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and I’m always happy to send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sandia Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Sandia Heights on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 449 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Sandia Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandia Heights. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
