“Maellen was amazing with my dog Luna. Luna is very afraid of new people but warmed up to Maellen very quickly. She loved all the walks and love Maellen gave her! I will definitely book her for any and all future trips. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Marlena was awesome with our dog. Sent pictures and videos while we were gone for 11 days. Chester seemed very happy. Would highly recommend Marlena!”
“A great sitter for our pup! She boarded with Onrae for 8 nights and was well cared for during her stay! We received pix and videos often while we were gone, which was reassuring for us as we had not left her before. Cali says, "Thanks, Onrae, for the great care!!"”
“Great place to drop off our dog while visiting the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta! Our normally shy pup warmed up to Holly quickly, which says a lot. Holly & Robert were wonderful hosts — would definitely book again when we're back in town.”
“Marissa has watched Hera 3 times now and it has always gone great, my dog always seems to have lots of fun with hers. Marrisa has been very accommodating with last minute plans of mine or changes to my schedule and I know my dog is happy and safe with her. I have no doubt I’ll be contacting her again the next time I go away without my dog.”
“Great service very friendly & communicated.She sent pics of my dog interacting with the other dogs playing . After his stay she gave me a goodies bag with treats & pictures of dog the memories created while during his 3day stay. I’m truly grateful 💕”
“Joshua did an excellent job taking care of our dog. He communicates quickly and worked with us to schedule drop off and pick up. He is always kind and thoughtful with our dog!”
“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”
“Blue loves spending time at Melissa’s. Knowing Blue is being well taken care of and having fun while we’re out of town is such a relief. Thank you, Melissa.”
“Arman is like an extension of your family. He cared for my dog Bentley like he was his own dog. Took him for several walks, visits to see my daughter, cuddles in the couch and even a grooming appointment. He was SO extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Arman to anyone who needs pet sitting or care. 5 Stars!”
“Jamie & Patrick did a great job of watching Maggie. They were incredibly accommodating with my last minute booking - including letting me drop her off earlier than planned and pick her up a little later when my return took a little longer than expected. I would absolutely use them again.”
About: I’ve owned several types of dogs from small to big since i was a child! I now have my own cat that me and my partner take care after and give so much love to! I have experience of basic necessities such as walking dogs, playing with them, etc I am a full time ABA therapist where my schedule during the week ranges usually from 8 AM - 7:30 PM! I can check on your pets or take them for a walk anytime after that! Weekends are always free other than sundays from 2 PM - 5 PM! I ensure the pet's safety, comfort, and happiness by following the owner's instructions carefully. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and providing any medication as needed. I also maintain a clean environment by tidying up after the pet and respecting the client's home and belongings. I keep the owner updated with regular messages or photos to let them know how their pet is doing.
“This is Sasha's 3rd stay with Pat this year! Pat is extremely accommodating when it comes to our dropoff/pickup schedules. This past visit, we were an hour late dropping Sasha off due to an accident blocking both lanes were driving on. We kept her apprised of what was happening via text. Pat was understanding with no problem and looked forward to seeing Sasha when we finally arrived.”
“Christina was great! She kept us updated throughout our pups stay. Bree had a great time with her other boarder pup. Christina was very professional and we ( and Bree) liked her so much we are interested in setting up regular doggy daycare days!”
About: I've been providing trusted house sitting and pet sitting services for family members for over five years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I also spent about a year regularly caring for and walking my sister's dog, helping with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available for pet care on Friday evenings, as well as throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I can provide services such as dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting during these times. I am flexible on weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs and advance notice. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and reliable environment for every pet in my care. I have experience caring for dogs through both family and personal pet sitting, including walking and daily care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets are always supervised during care, kept in secure environments, and treated with patience and consistency. I also respect each owner’s home and follow all guidelines closely to maintain trust and reliability. My goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“The best sitters! They are wonderful caregivers and provide awesome photos and reassurance for the families. Our canine family member will stay with them as much as circumstances permit.”
“Patricia does a great job caring for my two small dogs. One of my dogs recently had a tummy issue, and was still weaning back to kibble from a chicken & rice diet when they went to Patricia's. Patricia was willing to follow the schedule I provided, and mix my dog's kibble with chicken and rice to finish weaning her back to pure kibble. My dogs get along with Patricia's small dog, Sophie, and enjoy their surroundings during their stay (Patricia has a beautiful patio and spends time with them outside). They always come back happy and healthy. Patricia is a great sitter!”
“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sandia Heights home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Sandia Heights.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Sandia Heights sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NM ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
