“Jana was caring and attentive when she cared for our two cats, Valentino and Kodiak. They require medications and special food/feeding. She did a great job administering their meds and feeding them. I highly recommend Jana as a pet sitter.”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She checked in the day before just to make sure she had everything in order. She made me feel very comfortable that she was good with adminstering one of my boy’s meds. She checked in on the day of and sent one of the best pictures of my cat I’ve ever seen! thank you Jennifer!”

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.
“August gives both kitties the kind of attention they want. One is playful and the other is quiet but loves his rubs. They each get what they need and seem quite content when we are gone. Communication is easy and when our return flight was delayed, a quick text was: sent and the kitties got an extra visit. Have been very happy with the care August gives our two little ones. Definitely a 5 star.”
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.
“Since this is our first time to use Patricia we are happy. She was responsive to our cat's personality and needs. We have already booked Patricia for our next trip.”
“Mira did an amazing job taking care of my cat Malcolm while I was away! She is so kind and really cared about Malcolm's routines. She provided detailed and thoughtful updates and photos for each visit. She was able to administer eye drops for my cat which really put my mind at ease! Thank you so much, Mira!”
“Megan is wonderful with my puppy. She is very attuned to my standards and expectations, and has a healthy knowledge of dog handling herself. I am extremely grateful to have found her to help look after my puppy while I'm at work.”
About: Hi, I’m Sean. I am a lifelong pet owner who offers a level of care and expertise that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. I was quite literally raised around veterinary clinics, volunteering in them since I was a child. Because of this unique upbringing, I don't just love animals—I deeply understand their health, subtle body language, and unique behaviors. Whether your pet is a tiny senior cat needing a quiet lap or a massive, high-energy puppy who needs to burn off endless energy, I am completely comfortable with animals of any size, age, or energy level. I know how to keep energetic dogs safely engaged and how to provide gentle, patient companionship to senior or anxious pets. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my absolute top priorities. I will treat your furry family members with the exact same dedication, safety protocols, and love that I give to my own pets. As a stay-at-home parent, I'm typically available during school hours (7:30am to 2pm) with plenty of flexibility in the later afternoon and evenings as well. Inviting someone new into your home to care for your pet requires immense trust. Stories of poor pet care matches are stressful and concerning. This reality is exactly why I entered this field. I treat pet care as a professional business where absolute trustworthiness is the foundational cornerstone.
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!
“I am so grateful to Elizabeth! She did such a fantastic job with our cat and she updated us everyday. We had to leave our cat longer than we like to, but Elizabeth gave us such peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
“Svetlana was our first cat sitter ever and we are very happy we found her. She is very responsable and was flexible to change the schedule due weather conditions. She also helped to check the mail while we were gone beside feeding the cats. We will hire her again if there is an other opportunity.”
About: I have always loved animals and have substantial experience dog sitting for friends and neighbors, along with cat sitting! I can’t wait to meet you. I work a 9-5 job in law so I am happy to walk or feed your pet anytime after 5pm on the weekdays. If you are outside of my service range, I am available to house sit after 5pm on Friday to Monday morning at 8am. If you are within my service range, I will likely be able to house sit on the weekdays if you are okay with me not being home during my work hours and any time on the weekends. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️ I will follow all of the instructions that you provide with regards to your pet care. I’ll send cute pictures throughout my time and also text or call with any questions that may arise. I am always on my phone and quickly reply.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My dad is a herpetologist, so I grew up caring for snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, and fish, along with dogs, cats, and chickens. This gave me an early understanding of different species, temperaments, and individual care needs. I recently relocated from Pennsylvania, while my dog is staying with my family, where she is very loved and well cared for. I’m currently saving my Rover earnings toward a road trip home to bring her here to New Mexico. Even knowing she’s in great hands, I understand how hard it can be to miss your pet and how important it is to trust the person caring for them. That perspective is a big part of how I approach pet sitting—I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with animals of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, and I treat each one with the same patience and attention I would want for my own. Please message me your pet sitting needs and I can likely accommodate! My availability is more open than reflected on Rover. Presently, I drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting/overnight care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a small dog yard and a nearby park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment and will diligently follow all care instructions and routines closely and give each pet the individual attention they need to feel secure and at home.
About: Welcome! I really love meeting new pets, getting to know their personalities and making sure your pet is 100% happy and comfortable. For the past five years on Rover—and more than 25 years caring for friends’ and family pets—I’ve learned one thing: every animal has their own personality, routines, and comforts. We can arrange a meeting with your pet(s) to make sure I get to know schedules, dispositions, allergies and other things I should be aware to provide full, loving care of your pet. I can provide care, attention, and of course plenty of love & treats. These Meet‑and‑Greets help me understand everything from feeding and meds to personality and play style. I offer day care and overnight stays at your home for pet(s). My schedule is flexible, but travel-season & holiday bookings can fill quickly—reserving early ensures your spot. I have a flexible schedule for the most part. Prefer after 11 am. any day of week for dtop-ins & available for house/dog/cat sitting at your location. Pets are part of the family Currently I cannot sit at the house I am renting. I can take your dog to a nearby park or walk your neighborhood. Flexible for your convenience.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Sandia Heights
Jana does an excellent job watching my two cats. Both cats are very skittish and take a while to warm up to people. I am surprised she can get such nice pictures of them while I am gone. Jana is dependable and kind to the animals. I would recommend her to anyone in a second.
My second time working with Esperita! She continues to go above and beyond and looks for extra things to make sure my cats are comfortable. I had an emergency in my home and she accommodated me to make sure the cats were ok and give me priceless peace of mind. My cats seems to have warmed up to her and I LOVE the summary cards at the end. Thank you Esperita!
I've had the pleasure of being able to book with Mira all summer long. She is the best! She has taken such good care of my cat and goes above and beyond with her responsiveness and kindness. She takes good care of my home as well and always provides the most detailed updates. Thankful that my cat has such a good friend in her!
Marina did a wonderful job caring for our cats! I could already tell the first time I met her that she would do a great job. She asked great questions had great attention to detail. Very responsive, always on time, and our cats were happy and well taken care of the whole time. Thanks again Marina!!

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.

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 .

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 .
