“We had never used Rover before but were so glad we did because Tammy took amazing care of our two cats. She was very communicative, professional and kind. We felt so relaxed having her watch our cats. Don't hesitate to book her!”
“Stephanie was wonderfully caring of my 5-month old kitten. Extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. Was kind enough to pick her up and drop her off during the busy holiday season. Our kitten stayed at Stephanie's for 3 weeks and by the looks of it enjoyed her stay there with her other feline friends. Would definitely trust her with my kitty again:) Highly recommend!!”
“So glad Reiley was able to take care of my kitties over the holidays, he did a great job at making sure they stayed happy and healthy and gave me peace of mind with photos and visit summaries! Thanks, Reiley!”
“Lise was wonderful, she updated me frequently and she really cares about my pets and it shows! She told me Luna wasn't eating all of her food and went out of her way to give her extra kibble and treats. I really trust her with my pets!”
“Ian did an awesome job taking care of my cat Edgar. Edgar requires extra grooming, and Ian handled it like a pro. This was our first experience with Ian and we will definitely use him again!”
About: I have had cats and dogs and cared for them since I was old enough to, about 20 years. I have done a good amount of pet sitting and walking. I volunteered for a couple summers at my local veterinarian office. I get along very well with animals and they always like me. I love the outdoors and I love to walk around with dogs. I work in film in Northern NM and would love to do this as a job during slower months, such as the winters. I especially understand that work schedules can get in the way of you being with your beloved pets and the need for quality pet care. I often have a more open schedule than many to work around all your needs! I would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your fur baby! I am currently on a hiatus from the film industry because of slowdowns, so I have more time than many to watch your fur babies! To care for pets in my home or other's homes I will feed them, play with them, brush them, cleanout litter box where applicable. Walk them if applicable.
“Danielle did an amazing job with our 3 cats. She gave them lots of love, pets and even administered medicine to one of our dear felines who can be hard to catch. We will definitely utilize her services again and tell our friends about her professionalism and kind spirit.”
“Brittany was everything we could have wished for and more! Our cat absolutely adored her and we loved how well she communicated with us and gave us daily updates. We would book Brittany again in a heartbeat and recommend her to everyone ❤️”
“I have been booking drop-in sitting services for my cat with Kimmy for three different times. Kimmy has been very friendly and accommodating throughout our communications. As for taking care of my cat Luke (a 4 year old orange tabby), Kimmy does really great in following my care tips and sending me pictures of Luke and communicating Luke's behaviors. Since Luke has a sensitive stomach and sometimes vomits, I was very worried before I went out of town. But Kimmy's great care for Luke relieved my worries, and amazingly, Luke didn't vomit for over a week with Kimmy's constant brushing and petting him! I guess receiving a lot of attention and love really helped Luke from throwing up. Overall, Kimmy is a fantastic pet sitter and I could see that my cat is really happy and healthy under her care.”
“Daisy was amazing! She took care of my two cats for a week, and even coaxed the scaredy-cat out of hiding and got her to play a little. She left the house clean and tidy and my cats well cared for, and sent lots of pics.”
“I definitely recommend Megan & Ryan for watching your fur friends. I have 2 kitties & they were very prompt on their visits, sent pictures & gave updates. Will definitely be using them again!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could. Probably the best animal caretaker on the planet. Incredibly reliable , thoughtful and on top of it. Melinda made 2 trips a day to take of my senior cat with health issues. Her level of care , consideration and kindness was above and beyond. Melinda sets the bar high. I don’t know if I will ever be able to find a replacement.”
“Melanie did a wonderful job caring for my elderly cat. She is great about responding to messages, and took extra care to keep me updated on how he was doing. She is friendly and organized and clearly has a lot of love for animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.”
About: My family has always had pets so I'm comfortable with everything from cats and dogs to turtles and chickens. Young, old, wild, lazy, medicated, need to be medicated, I've dealt with it all. I've babysat and petsat for a variety of people off the books over the years and haven't had any complaints or issues. I like to send update photos to pet parents since I know leaving the babies with strangers can be a stressful experience. I work at the Lab Monday - Friday, 7-4ish. Otherwise, I'm open for business. Adjustments to my 4 o'clock time can be made with advanced warning. I can drop in or hang out as needed. Let me know. Santa Fe residents: I work at the Lab Monday - Friday, 7-4ish. That is a long stretch when including commute. If your pet needs to be let out for potty breaks or medication during weekdays, please keep this in mind. Like I said I can make adjustments with enough warning. I leave my availability as it is because I occasionally have a client in Los Alamos/White Rock that I can accommodate easier. Rover simply doesn't allow that kind of distinction on the basic settings so I try to be up front here. I can't board unfortunately but I can hang out on your home turf. This tends to be most comfortable for your pet anyway. I can drop in or stay the night, both are fine with me.
About: There has never been a time in my life when I haven’t had a pet! My dog Hazel Grace and I take daily walks together❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so dog walking fits perfectly into the day and allows me to get outside too! Yes! We have a completely fenced in yard with plenty of room to romp and play. All areas of the yard are visible from inside. I also have a very friendly labradoodle who gets along with everyone.

Dj H.
“We were so fortunate to find Debra and lucky enough to have her house sit / pet sit our dog Rex for us twice with another stay on the calendar. We are looking forward to a longstanding relationship. Debra's attention to detail is very much appreciated. From administering medication to walks, talks and belly rubs. Our home as managed as specified, errands run and a happy dog. Communication is so very important and Debra is great. Photos of Rex daily, so very enjoyable. Crystal”
