“Brigit was AWESOME! Got photos and updates every day, house was left perfect, and I felt my furries were well card for, my house was safe, and Brigit did everything asked. I was nervous on the frontside, as I've had bad sitters before. Not anymore! I will use Brigit every time-if she is available! Thank you Brigit!”

“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!”

“Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!”

“Leah was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two dogs, and really listened to my instructions on my shy/skittish dog! She left my place clean, and my dogs were well cared for! Would absolutely hire her again!!”


“Tessa did a fantastic job with my three dogs. She communicated daily and sent pictures which was reassuring. She was responsive to my requests to help with watering plants and bringing in mail. I will definitely book Tessa again. She is a wonderful dog & house sitter!”

“August was a wonderful caregiver to our 2 mid-sized labrador mix dogs, one 12yrs, one 6yrs. August slept in our home during our family's wk long vacation. They provided several walks a day, fed, medicated and supported a relaxing, consistent environment for our beloved pups. Our older dog required medical support while in Augusts' care. August maintained conversation, with health updates with our veterinarian and myself which allowed me peace of mind while we were traveling. August was able to set up and manage playdates and excursions with our friends for our 2 pups. August left our home and our pups in perfect shape and I was very grateful for their presence. I highly recommend August and will absolutely use them again.”


“Vincent was awesome ! Followed all instructions regarding safety and kept our puppy safe and entertained . Our dog can be “difficult” at times but Vincent persevered and was patient with her . He’s great !”

“We thought Hoss did a terrific job. She was communicative, professional, and very loving to our two cats, who we like to describe as being needy. She sent us photos, kept us updated, and took care of the house. We couldn’t be happier.”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
“Geneva always takes great care of my dog Zelee and is very attentive, patient, and thoughtful. I appreciate Geneva’s excellent communication and frequently sending text/photo/video updates of Zelee while I’m away.”

“Rhiannon was a great sitter for our ~70lb pit/basset mix and our black cat. She had confidence with them and showed them a lot of love. She was great about sending pictures and with communication.”

“Greg was just as fantastic as I expected him to be. He treated my dear canines as if they were his own. He came back to return our key and was greeted enthusiastically by all three, which is the absolute best review I think anyone here could receive. I more travel planned later this year and Greg is at the top of my list for taking care of my furry, four-legged kids when that time comes.”

“Lauren was AMAZING! She spoiled Panchito with love, sent the cutest pics, and kept us updated the whole time. Total peace of mind knowing our little guy was living his best life. Would 1000% book her again!”

“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”

“We were out of town when our dog sitter called and she had to go to the hospital. Jamie and Patrick stepped up big time and saved our vacation. I was so worried about my dogs and I was so far away from them, but she assured me not to worry she had it covered. She took exceptional care of my dogs and baked me a pie! They are absolute life savers!!”

“Lam took great care of my pup and sent lots of photo updates throughout the weekend. She's my new go-to gal and I already have her booked for another stay!”

“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”

Sawmill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rose is tremendous. she is sweet and the dog and 3 cats love her. She is responsible and respectful of staying in someone else's home. I am an anxious pet mama and really didn't worry at all with her in charge. she sent tons of great pictures and updates. I have already reserved her for 2 more stays, so happy to have her on our team.

Sheri was awesome. She provided frequent updates and pictures of all our animals, and asked questions about how to adjust if something wasn’t seeming to click with them. She also left our home very clean after her stay. I would definitely have her watch our animals again!

Roxanne is incredible! I’ve found my go-to sitter for future trips. As a first-time housesitting client, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she exceeded every expectation, caring for my home and giving my two pups endless love and attention. Her photo updates throughout the weekend were such a thoughtful touch and truly put me at ease. I came home to a spotless house and two happy, relaxed dogs, the best feeling any pet owner could ask for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust completely. I’ll absolutely be booking with Roxanne again! 🐾

Jade was a fantastic sitter for my two dogs. She followed my dogs medication requirements and all of the directions that I left her. I can tell she took good care of them because when I got home, they didn’t seem to have missed me all that much. She went above and beyond to leave my house clean for me when I got back.
