“Emily is an amazing pet care giver. She reliably walked and/ or played with my dog for two weeks. She was very patient with him in the beginning as they got to know one another and now they are best buds. She updated me daily on his care and habits. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”


“Overall wonderful job with my doggies. Both dogs seemed happy and well cared for on their walks. Will be booking again when we need help in the future.”


About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.

About: Hello, I'm Rachel! A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME: Hi everyone! I’m Rachel. I have one amazing Husky Lab mix named Maya. I pet-sit and dog walk through Rover because I enjoy it SO MUCH! It's so much fun to be able to meet other dogs (and other animals and people!) through Rover. I have over 20 years of experience living with and loving all sorts of pets and hope to keep pet sitting and dog walking for years to come. I work full time from home and I have a somewhat flexible schedule so I can try to meet your pet’s needs. You will also receive photos from me of your pet(s) by text and through Rover so you can see how they are doing! I am very comfortable watching any breed, size, or age of pet, and have over 12 years of experience house + pet sitting for all sorts of animals for short and extended periods of time. I'm willing to work with what needs you and your pet have. Please send me a message to let me know how best I can serve you and your pet! I work full time from home and I have a somewhat flexible schedule so I can try to meet your pet’s needs based on their schedule. I am open and receptive to what your pet is used to or needs and can provide a comfortable environment for play or rest indoors as well, depending on what your pet likes to do.

“Max was great with my 7 year old Sharpei Arley. He arrived on time and treated him well. Good luck with your move Max!”


“Kimberly was able to help me out last minute, which was amazing! We didn't have time to do a meet and greet, but she was still able to follow my instructions and walk my dog. She is a great communicator and I will definitely use her in the future!”


About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take good care of their pets and were never disappointed and could always depend on me. They gladly referred me to others for their pet sitting and house sitting needs. I have always enjoyed playing with pets of all kinds.i have experience caring for horses, cats, chickens, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, plants, etc. I have grown up with animals and just love having the furry companions around. I enjoy walking dogs and checking in on pets for clients who ask me to check on them. I like to play and cuddle with pets.

About: Welcome to my pet sitting page! I'm a life long animal caregiver and owner. I have owned rescued dogs to the more exotic pets in my 24 years of animal care experiences. I have experience with puppies/puppy training and those dogs of many grey hairs (senior) who may need a little extra support. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have the ability to provide pet services during the day or night most days of the week. Our beautiful mountain home sits on 2 acres of land. 1 full fenced acre with dog door access 24/7. I have the ability to crate if requested. I have one younger dog named Mackie to keep your pups company if boarded. She has a friendly and playful disposition along with a calm demeanor in the home good for any visiting dog.

About: Growing up around dogs of all breeds has taught me about their unique personalities, preferences, and safety. I believe every animal deserves love and pampering—whether they’re couch potatoes or full of energy, I adapt quickly! Comfortable with both small and large dogs, I’ve seen it all—so nothing fazes me. As a big advocate for exercise, I’ll make sure active pups get plenty of walks. And don’t worry—your pet will get all the love and care they deserve. I’ve got plenty to give! I currently have an open schedule as I am returning to school come the fall semester. Once that begins, I will still be very open as most of my classes are online. I stick to their routine, dietary needs, and favorite activities (walks, playtime, or cuddles!). Safety and love come first, and I always keep owners updated. Dogs enjoy structured outings, while cats get play or space, depending on their mood. I adapt to each pet’s unique personality to keep them happy and comfortable!

“I’ve been working with Erich for the past week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He has been a huge help in improving my dog Cosmo's behavior on walks. Erich has gone above and beyond in not only walking Cosmo but also helping with little training moments that have already made a noticeable difference. He’s incredibly communicative and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about Cosmo’s well-being. I’ve loved working with him and will definitely continue scheduling with Erich moving forward!”


“Svetlana was punctual and great with our dogs. I loved the updates and photos she sent during their walks. We appreciate having her nearby and potentially available even for last minute care or walks.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and i’ve had many different breeds. I was the neighborhood dog walker when I was in middle school. I am working a part time job and I am in school but I am able to walk your dog every 3-4 hours during the week I have a fenced in yard for my dog and usually let him outside every hour or so. I also feed him dry food in the morning and wet and dry food at night

“Kai was excellent! Helped me out with very little notice. She was professional and punctual. My dogs loved the walks with her!”

I’m a recently retired animal lover with plenty of free time to visit, walk, entertain and care for your pets. I am available during the day or evening. I am a responsible, mature professional with years of experience caring for animals, that you can depend on to care for the safety of your home and pets while you are away.

“Kara is Loving and kind, provides good feedback and status updates, and truly treats your animals like her own. 100% recommend”

About: I have had pets of many varieties my whole life. I have taken the most care of dogs and cats, and I feel I understand their behavior and how to meet their needs. I currently have two senior dogs I've had since they were puppies. My upbeat, bubbly personality makes it easy for me to play and connect with most animals. I look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby! Right now my schedule is open in the afternoons during the week. I am available to hang out with your pets anytime after 12pm M-F, and I am willing to be flexible for the right client. I am a detail oriented rule-follower, if you sent out instructions on how to walk, play with, or otherwise care for your pet I will follow it to a T. I understand the stress and worry of leaving pets home alone while you work and of finding the right person to watch them, so I will do what I can to put those fears to rest. I prefer to give detailed communication with pet owners so they can know what is going on with their pet at all times while I am with them.


About: I have lots of flexibility throughout the day and on the weekends. I’m a proud fur mama of a 4 year old Shih Tzu. She’s very well behaved and loves other animals and people. We don’t have any other children or pets so when I pet sit she gets the opportunity to play with her friends at home. We have an open home where the dogs are free to roam around or in and out of the house to our gated and secure backyard. I wanted to become a sitter for a couple reasons. I know what its like looking for a dog sitter myself. It’s hard to know who to trust with our fury family members. I’m responsible, reliable, and most importantly I have integrity. My other reason is because, I enjoy it! I work part time as a Registered Nurse. If I have accepted to care for your dog in my home that is because I will be home all day to care for your furry friend. I will have time to play with them, take them for walks, and give them the attention they need. Safety is number one in my book. My home is clean and free of clutter. Pets are free to play in our secured and large fenced areas and watched carefully.

About: I have taken care of animals as far back as a kid. I was the neighbor who loved other people's fur kids. Through the years I have traveled being a military spouse and I was the spouse who always took in others' pets while they went on vacations or work-related trips. I have also done volunteer work at shelters and been a foster parent for dogs/cats when needed. I spent some time in Tanzania one summer and quickly became the cow and chicken whisperer at an orphanage I volunteered at. I am able to do drop-in or babysit your fur kids at my home; as I am always home. I am currently a full-time online college student and do not currently work. In the past years, I have done a lot of volunteer work with shelters and was an educational assistant to special needs kids in the public school system. Cats and dogs are welcome in my home, and I have dog/cat beds available for their comfort. I also have three small dogs of my own that are super dog and cat friendly. We also have a seven-month-old kitten we adopted and he does well with other cats and dogs. I do not have a gated fence, as mine are trained to stay in the yard. I can take other pets out on a leash and walk for potty breaks. We have 7 acres. For drop-ins, I can feed, water, and walk your pets. I also do clean up after them and spend time playing and loving on your pets too.
