“Alison is great! She is reliable and caring. She sent pictures during every visit. I have one very friendly cat and one very skittish cat who hides from everyone. Alison even checked on my skittish kitty who hid from her and sent a pic of her too.”

About: Hey there! I'm Tara Marksberry, and I absolutely adore animals! With 15 years of experience in pet sitting, veterinary offices, shelters, and boarding facilities, I've had the joy of working closely with furry friends of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I pride myself on being dedicated, punctual, and loving in all aspects of pet care. Your furry companions deserve nothing but the best, and I'm here to ensure they receive just that. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day! I work full time from 7:00am to 5:00pm . I am completely comfortable staying in your home and will generally remain there unless I’m running to the store or heading to grab something for dinner. Depending on the proximity of your home to my employer I may be able to conduct afternoon drop in visits. Early morning feeding or medication schedules are no problem! While at your home your pets safety is my first priority. I will never leave your pet unattended in the yard and make a habit of checking gates and fences while we’re outside. I will never open the front door in a manner that could allow a pet to escape and will not invite any unauthorized guests or my personal pets into your home. I like to provide picture updates to you throughout the stay so you can rest easy knowing your pets are happy and healthy. I do prefer to have written care instructions to reference so I make sure I’m taking the best possible care of your pets.

“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: 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.

About: I have grown up with animals all my life. I had 2 dogs and 2 cats growing up and I currently have a German Shepard, Weiner dog, and 2 flat faced cats. I also have experience taking care of fish and reptiles. I just moved to ABQ from Atlanta. I love animals and would love to continue taking care of them out here. I am free for drop in visits or house sitting. I would be able to drop by your house, feed the dogs and take them out to play and use the restroom. As for my own dogs, I train them myself with no shock collar or crate.

“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”

About: Hello, I'm Michael, an experienced house sitter in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Though I'm native to NM, I've completed over 22 home-based sits just in the past 2 years around the western hemisphere; from Nashville to Seattle, Vancouver to Barcelona, Big Sky to Dublin, and more. I'm experienced, trustworthy, kind, compassionate, and zen. I provide a variety of services to ensure your home is secure and well-maintained while you're away. In addition to overnight home and pet care, my "drop-in" services include pet feeding, mail collection, plant care, snow clearing, and trash & recycling. I am experienced in administering medication, can do lite grooming care and bathing, and have cared for both older and younger pets alike. I also keep my head in emergencies and believe that honest, clear communication is key to resolving most issues efficiently. I am a freelancer by trade, working primarily digitally (which allows me the freedom to travel from time to time), so my schedule tends to be somewhat flexible. I do like to have some notice when planning care for pets, and clear (as possible) instructions when pet needs are more complex. I cannot care for pets in my home, however; I'm happy to travel to your home for drop-ins as often as you'd like. I prefer longer engagements as I feel that pets in general prefer people they know, and I don't enjoy causing them any unnecessary anxieties, so overnights are the types of gigs I commit to. That being said, I'm here to help YOU, so don't hesitate to let me know how I can be of service.

About: I love caring for all types of pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, and fish! I love walking, playing and spending time with these cuties! I'm currently a student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of classes and always have my evenings and weekends free for your pets! I love taking care of your pets the way you need! Whether that's walking, putting them outside, spending as much or as little time each individual pet needs, because I know sometimes they just want me to go away, even if I would love to play with them more!

About: I’ve had my own dogs and cats and have taken care of pets for friends and neighbors. I’ve also helped out on farms. I’m experienced with taking care of doggies, cats, horses, and goats. Enjoy spending time with animals and am happy getting to know yours :) I have a flexible job which makes it easy to take care of animals if anything should arise midday. I am available for overnight care and am open on weekends. I have a roommate who’s allergic to dogs, so I can only board cats. I am available for overnight care for dogs in their homes. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know animals and meeting them where they’re at.

“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”

Alexandria went above and beyond! She took the time to play fetch with my pup and even cleaned up all the poop from my yard which she by had do. I was so happy to come home to a clean yard and my doggo completely crashed and calm. She clearly has a very high work ethic and a love for people and animals that is hard to find these days. Highly highly recommend! Thank you Alexandria!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Sandia Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sandia Park is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 878 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sandia Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters 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 sitter.
