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!
“Juan was great! He came to my house last minute while my husband was in the hospital and stayed with Bacon for us. He took great care of our baby. He actually had him come back the next day to help again.”
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.
“Kristen did great with my Bernese mountain dogs. By the end of the weekend even my scared rescue was going to her for some pets! She sent photos and updates each day easing my anxiety about leaving them. Definitely would recommend and will use her again! Thank you Kristen!”
“August did a great job taking care of my dog, Ellie. August was great at keeping me updated and sending me pictures to let me see how well Ellie was doing. I could tell my shy rescue felt safe and comfortable around them. I would happily have August sit for Ellie again, they are awesome.”
“Yet again, Autumn went above and beyond in taking care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She sent awesome pictures that showed how well they were getting along, and stayed an extra night when I had to change my travel plans. I trust Autumn completely with my animals, and my animals are my life. I know that she loves my fur kids, too. Very grateful to have found her!”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Reliable and great communication in a timely manner, which is hard to find nowadays. Malcolm was punctual, informative, and never once did I have to reach out for updates. Excellent service at an affordable price. Will definitely book again in the future”
“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!”
“Amber took good care of our pets. This was our first time using rover and a non family member to take care of our pets while away. Amber made me feel at ease and was really sweet and patient with our pets.”
About: I grew up on a farm with multiple dogs and cats, as well as your typical farm animals like horses, cows, pics, sheep etc. I especially love dogs and helped to train our dogs on the farm, as well as my current little Dachshund Obi who is the sweetest little boy. My most recent elderly dog sitting was a 3-week in-home visit that required a lot of physical assistance, as well as administering medications. I also find joy in taking care of animals and making both them and their owners comfortable. I'm a retired circus performer that currently directs, choreographs and teaches. Because this is part-time work, I have lots of free time to be available for your pets. When I'm in town, I'm available almost any day of the week and can easily work around my part-time work. I'm currently offering in-home visits, dog walking, and overnight care in your home. I always make sure to proactively communicate with my clients so that I'm fully informed as to how to make your pet to still feel at home, even with you away. Making sure they're healthy, happy and comfortable are my main concerns.
“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.”
“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and reptiles since I was young. I love all animals and look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I currently work as a bartender/server. I have lots of free time to take care of animals and animals bring me a lot of happiness. I currently live in an apartment complex and have a great space for animals. We do have a dog park at the complex and I live down the street from a golf course, which has a great path to walk.
“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.”
Sonora pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cannot recommend Lily highly enough! Communicative and went out of her way to make sure she had everything she needed before house/pet sitting. She made my travels so much easier knowing everyone was well cared for. Came home to happy pets and a well cared for space. Thank you thank you!!
Luca took care of our dogs and house for a full week, and we could not have asked for a better first experience with an in-home pet sitter. We were especially nervous because our newer dog is extremely timid around new people, but Luca was incredibly patient and took the time to build trust with her before we left. That effort made us feel so much more comfortable going into the trip. Right before we left, our older dog also started having stomach issues and needed a specialized multi-step diet. Luca followed all of the instructions carefully, kept us updated every day on how she was doing (including stool updates), and handled both outdoor cleanup and a few indoor accidents without complaint. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs. It was obvious our pets were comfortable and loved while we were away. We would absolutely book with Luca again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.
We hired Keri to pet/house sit for us while we were away over a 2 week period. I could not be more thrilled with her work! All 4 of my pets adored her. Keri sent so many pictures and videos. I never had to worry about how they were doing. I loved seeing all the fun they were having, especially the wonderful walks my dog got to go on. Keri left our house in amazing condition. Everything was clean including fresh bed linens on the bed she used. She even left a note detailing what pet supplies we needed to replenish soon. It made coming home so easy. The pets were excited to see us, but didn't freak out and get overwhelmed when we walked through the door. That was a sign to me that they had been thoroughly taken care of and loved while we were gone.
Kristen is fantastic! She has done drop ins for me several times before and is great with Betty, prompt and very communicative . This was my and Betty’s first time having someone stay overnight with her. Kristen was very patient with Betty who was nervous and shy suddenly about me not being home at all. I highly recommend her and plan on using her services again in the future!
This is my second time working with Sheyenne for house sitting in my home, and it has been a great experience each time. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog and cat are well cared for when I’m away. Even my shy cat cuddles with her 🥰 Sheyenne is reliable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Maleah is one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s professional, communicative, and reliable. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that Maisie was in good hands. She left our home pristine and Maisie was clearly content when we came home. A sign that she was well taken care of! We definitely hope to have Maleah stay 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.
