“Gerri went above and beyond for sitting my cats. I had asked her to come earlier than I originally requested....she was happy to help. Cats actually came down after I had left....very unusual. Thank you for doing this for me.”

About: I have been involved with my families dog breeding business Duke City Doodles from the beginning, feeding, walking, bathing, vaccinations you name it. House sitting is one of my favorites, my friends often come to me to house sit for them with my experience with the dog breeding industry. I am a very energetic person and will ensure that your pets have a great time and your house is kept clean! I am looking for new clients and would love to get to grow a relationship with you and your pets :) I am currently working a part-time job at Pappadeaux. I am very flexible besides during working hours. I am always free in the mornings to check on pets or house and I am always able to find time throughout the day for more checks. In my personal dog experience we let our dogs have plenty of free time and we food train them to be able to eat whenever they want. In clients homes I have experienced timed feeding and checks so I have a wide range of experience with feeding and free time. I am available to provide walks and anything else that your pet might need.

“Susana was wonderful! She took great care of our three cats and a bunch of our little foster kittens! She even managed to administer last minute medications for all three squirmy kittens. She was great to communicate with and we definitely plan to book her again!”

Lea P.

“We had a wonderful experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in Mae’s care for a full week. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and responsive, especially when a few things didn’t go exactly as planned. Communication was consistent throughout the week and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative and caring dog sitter. We would happily have her watch our dogs again!”

Christie S.

“We hired Levi to watch our cats while gone for 3 weeks out of the country. He did multiple daily checks that involved several tasks, including litter management, feeding, playing, and also took care of our plants. He was easy to get ahold of and is great to work with. Will definitely be using him again.”

About: Been around all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. Over the course of my childhood we rescued numerous dogs with behavioral problems. I can read dogs behavior very well and meet there needs. Sounds like a dream to make extra money walking furry friends. Also give me an excuse to get out of the house more and walk more. I have the upmost respect for my clients, their house, their rules. I will ensure I am respectful and leave the property better than I found it.

“Quinn was extremely communicative and timely. I appreciated that they went the extra mile for my pet and I!”

About: I am retired and a animal lover with experience caring for puppies, seniors, rescues, and giant breeds. Reliable, patient care in a safe, pet-friendly environment. I am currently retired from government work and a non profit career. I retired very young and I am very active, loving nature and walking. I have two very large dog runs with dog houses in each. My pets are both indoors at night and in their dog run daily.

“We had a great experience with Lillie as our sitter. She took great care of our two cats. We were nervous as we left her in charge of our home and our fur babies, but there was zero need to be. She was prompt, professional, kind and caring. She respected our home and loved/cared for our two little gentlemen just as we would. We came home to a tidy house and 2 kitties who were well loved in our absence. She sent us several pictures of each of our boys everyday. They looked happy and we're always in her space so we knew they liked her too. She even left a little bag of treats for our little guys as a parting gift. I will absolutely be booking with Lillie again. I have nothing but the best things to say about her service and communication.”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to build relationships with returning Rover clients, and I’m always happy when people trust me to care for their pets again. I’ve never met a pet-care challenge I couldn’t find a solution to. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m patient and willing to figure out what works best for them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, livestock, and critters of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including experience working at an animal hospital where I cared for boarding animals, newborn puppies and kittens, and pets who needed a little extra patience and attention. I also have plenty of personal experience with animals who have behavioral challenges, which has taught me to be observant, patient, and adaptable. Pet sitting is something I do on the side while I’m in school and working as a barista. My shifts are generally around six hours, and my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to the animals in my care. I genuinely love animals and take their safety and happiness seriously. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise and playtime, a specific routine, extra patience, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work with them and find what makes them comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own! 🐾 My Schedule 🐾 I have a pretty flexible schedule since I’m currently a student with online classes and work part-time as a barista. My work shifts are generally around 6 hours, and my schedule varies from week to week. I’m happy to work with you ahead of time to find dates and times that work for both of us. I’m also available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting depending on my schedule. I do my best to give every pet plenty of attention rather than rushing through visits. If your pet has a specific routine, feeding schedule, medication, or other needs, I’m happy to work around it and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. Because my availability can change week to week, please message me before booking so I can confirm that I’m available for the dates and times you need! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. In client homes, I am trusted with overnight stays and have consistently managed multiple animals without any issues, ensuring they are comfortable, secure, and well-cared-for in their familiar surroundings. In my own home, I adhere to a disciplined routine, particularly with dogs, to maintain a sense of order and security. This includes scheduled feeding times, walks, and play sessions, which helps in managing their energy levels and maintaining their health. My cat, Beans, enjoys a more flexible routine, which suits her independent nature. She's free to set her own pace throughout the day, though I ensure her needs for interaction and care are met. Overall, my approach is based on respect, patience, and attentiveness to the unique personality and requirements of each pet, ensuring they feel loved and at ease under my care.

About: I've been around dogs and cats all my life. I currently have two cats of my own and have had dogs in the past of all types and sizes. Boundaries are huge when it comes to caring for animals, whether enforcing mine or respecting theres, and I will respect the energy as it is. I love backyard play and playing fetch. I don't mind administering medication with clear instructions. I can take short walks with your furry family members no problem. I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday and weeknights Monday–Friday. I hold an 8:30 am to 5:00 pm job and go to school part time at NMSU Global campus (online) and am willing to do homework as I pet sit, weaving school and care together if need be. I respect the animal's personality and personal boundaries as much as possible. For example, I have two cats with two different personalities. One loves pets and snuggles and the other keeps to herself and prefers that I speak to her instead of petting her to show affection. I have experience with overnight stays at the pet's family home and have no issues with keeping things respectful and tidy.

About: Cats tend to trust me because I approach them with a calm, gentle spirit and allow them to connect with me at their own pace. I don’t force affection or treat their care like a checklist—I pay attention to their personality, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. My years of experience have taught me how to recognize when something may be wrong and how to respond calmly and responsibly. I take following instructions, maintaining routines, securing the home, and keeping owners informed very seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love cats and care deeply about their well-being. Every cat in my care will be treated with the same patience, protection, and compassion. I’m available most days and weekends. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Connect with me so we can discuss a schedule that works best for you. I primarily provide pet sitting in my clients’ homes, where cats can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, medication, litter-box care, playtime, companionship, and any special needs. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident that their cats and homes are being well cared for. References from previous in-home pet-sitting clients are available upon request. I generally do not care for cats in my own home, but I may consider special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. My home has multiple levels, no children, and a securely fenced backyard. I provide grooming services for cats only and on a case by case basis. I do no clip nails. I have years of experience bathing and properly cleaning cats, both my own and strays. I can provide the service for a small fee.

About: With every house sitting or with ten dog walking sessions I will draw your pet! (No extra fee) I grew up with two kitties, Daphne and Velma (yes like Scooby Doo!) and one dog, Ruby. And now that I am an adult I have a high energy, silly kitty named Pearl! Growing up I was responsible for walking Ruby every day after school and on the weekends. I was also Velma's preferred human, she would join me while I did my homework and even when I left to college my mom would send me pictures of her on my pillow. (Daphne was a wall flower and stuck to herself for the most part haha) Pearl is my kitty with full energy! I play at least five times a day, 30 minutes each with her and I have been doing clicker training. She successfully has no issues with nail trimming, going to the vet, and is learning new commands. I enjoy hiking in the Sandia Foothills so I would love to take you doggie out there or in your local neighbor hood! I will match your furry friend's energy, so if they prefer to sit on the couch for cuddles, I am more than happy to do so! I am currently working part time working on my children's graphic novel pitch so I have plenty of availability to spend time with your fur baby! I have availability from 9am-10pm. On hotter days I prefer to walk your pups before noon or after 5pm evening so they don't overheat. I would love to meet your pet first before we work together (no charge). That way you can let me know of any health or behavioral concerns and your furry friend isn't scared when a stranger shows up! I let your pet dictate our interactions. (Holding out my hand for them to sniff, giving space if your kitty has, "airplane ears" or if your dog has a, "whale eye,"). I am also experienced in redirection, if your dog is barking I'll get the tennis ball going.
