“Max was amazing! He gave us constant updates, didn’t leave our dogs for long periods of time which was our biggest request and he left our house spotless. He is professional, kind, and trustworthy. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing my dogs were in good hands.”

“Arman was great with our two pups! Since it was a longer trip he walked them for us as well as staying at the house which was huge since they are both very active and need time outside every day. Quick to respond and took good care of the house too. Will definitely book again.”

“Our first time using Christina L. and it was a joy. She came and stayed at our home and took care of our two fur babies and our home as if they were her own. She made us feel so comfortable that we will be booking again. It has been awhile since we felt so at ease leaving them behind. Would highly recommend”

“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”

About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
“Malcom did a terrific job taking care of our two dogs and the rest of the house. His communication was excellent and timely. I would highly recommend him for your dog and house sitting needs.”


“Cindy was so sweet and patient with our cat Jasper and dog Morty, especially Morty who is very timid and anxious with new people. We will definitely request to have Cindy sit again for us!”

“Candace took wonderful care of our dogs over Christmas! She was attentive, reliable, and handled everything with ease, including one of our dogs who requires a little extra patience. Coming home to happy dogs and a clean house was such a relief. We were very impressed and are excited to have found someone we can rely on for our future petsitting needs. We would not hesitate to use Candace again!”

About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all!

I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree.

Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!
“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”

“Autumn stayed with my three dogs for a week while I was away. She was so great with them! She handled my old dog and my reactive little dog so well. I appreciate how much time she spent with them! Other sitters I’ve used just pop in for meals and leave, then come back close to midnight, only to sleep and take off again in the morning. Autumn actually spent time with them. I always worry about the old guy falling…and the reactive one is a handful…absolutely no worries with her here! Another review noted how clean she was - and they were right - you’d never know she was here…not that I would have minded a mess, as my 3 dogs are a handful and she was so great with them. Best River experience ever, and I’ve had several.”

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

“Took great care of our dog and our friends dog, and kept the house so clean while house sitting. Responsive, flexible, and the dogs were very happy with her.”

“August is a pro. Here are just a few examples. -Established immediate rapport with, and respect from, our teenage Bernedoodle. -Came to the meet and greet prepared to take notes -Confirmed the dates after our meet and greet, as well as confirmation the morning of the job. -Left our home every bit as tidy as when we left -Sent pictures and gave Tigger good walks We'll plan to hire August again.”

“Grace was available last minute for pet sitting in my house, and was very accommodating for my open-ended return. She sent pictures and good updates daily. The house looked great when I returned and my dog was very relaxed - I could tell she had enjoyed her stay with Grace and that Grace had treated her very well. I can recommend Grace for your peace of mind while you are away.”

“Erin was very caring and took great care of my dog. She was very responsive to my needs regarding Willow and sent pictures to me while I was out of town. I felt very comfortable with her.”

Sandia Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Scott did a great job taking care of our home and dogs! The dogs instantly liked him, and he sent photos and updates to us during our trip, as we had agreed upon. One of our dogs came down with a UTI just before we left, and Scott was just fine administering the additional medication that she needed to take for that. (she's all better now! Yay!) Our home was clean when we returned and Scott even kept the outdoor plants alive while we were away - in spite of the dry weather and heat. We look forward to having Scott as a house sitter again!

Armen was great with Dewey! Armen communicated well in advance, asked great questions during our meet-up and took really great care of Dewey while we were gone. He was very respectful of our home and followed the instructions perfectly. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Armen again.

CK did a great job with my four legged kids! Our flight from Dallas was delayed for over an hour, which put us home at 11:30 pm. CK put the dogs to bed and was there when we came home. She sent pictures of my pets when we were gone. We tipped her cash for the extra time. We would gladly use her again.

Erin did an excellent job caring for my 3 cats. When I got home, they seemed relaxed and calm, so I knew they were happy with her, too. One of my cats that doesn't come out to meet visitors was on the sofa next to her, letting her pet him. She sent me photos and gave me updates. Her communication is fantastic. I'm so grateful I found Erin to look after my cats and that she's reliable and trustworthy. She's a gem.

Stephanie is fantastic! She was responsive and prepared - even more than me! As a pet parent of not only a senior pet, but one receiving chemo treatments, I was nervous about leaving his care up to someone else, but Stephanie had me completely at ease! We started off with an out-of-home meet & greet at my apartment complex's dog park, and both dogs loved her. <3 We then went to tour the house and meet my cat. Stephanie was incredibly thoughtful, remembering to ask important questions about the pet's habits and care. She was also completely at ease giving medication, even joining in on our demo. During the stay, Stephanie sent me regular updates with photos, which I greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Stephanie enough for your pet's care. I will be using her again should I leave town where I can't bring my pets with me.
