“Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.”

About: I’m 25 years old, I’m currently in the Air Force on my third year. I have 2 cats and 1 puppy and I love them so much. I am a very outdoorsy person, so I love to go on walks and adventures outside. I figured a pet sitter would be an excellent job for me to have while I have free time outside of work. I’ve been around many pets and been taking care of them since I was a little kid. I am so excited to see all the pets I get to work with. I am currently a part-time server. I usually work nights all week excluding mondays and Tuesdays. I am almost always free in the mornings, but am willing to taking time off for specific days 2 weeks in advance. I have a fenced home with an English bulldog to keep your baby in furry company. I have a beautiful deck where your doggies can sun bath in peace. I will always be close by to watch your pets just to keep an extra close eye on them if needed while outside.

Latest I can do drop ins/walks is 11:30 pm (Before midnight preferably) I do have a playful dog named Manolo he is a mixed pug, he is adorable and has lots of energy if your dog ever needs a friend to play with! He is well behaved and is currently progressing at his potty training on dog pads. He also has is shots :)

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: 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.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. Most of them I have either met online or the neighborhood. I have worked with any age from 0-12 and can make your baby feel at home while their owners are not around. I currently work night shifts 4 days a week so I have tons of time to feed, walk, or bathe you’re loved ones. Whenever I am not at home I do have my boyfriend at home holding down the fort so your baby will never be alone. You can trust me with feeding, walking, bathing and/or giving them their medicines. I will show them just as much love as I show my own furries and if they are at my home, my babies will make them feel welcome.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Sandia Heights is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 798 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Sandia Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sandia Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Sandia Heights after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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