“Chase was absolutely amazing with our dog. He took care of her very well and made sure that she was as happy as possible. He also took stunning photos of our dog during the stay.”


“Beth was fanatic. Having her around really made me more comfortable with leaving my little Bodhi all alone for an entire week. I don't know what I would have done without her, she kept the house clean and was very dependable. Would definitely hire her again!”


About: I’ve cared for small and medium dogs since I was 14. I’ve loved taking care of animals ever since I was a little girl. With my parents being animal lovers I’ve encountered many animals throughout my life. As of right now I have 2 Dogs, 2 Cats, and 3 Horses! I provide loving attention, walks, feeding, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. I am calm, reliable, and respectful to you and your home. Your pets will feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.💕 I work part-time in Los Alamos, but only two days a week that I choose. I am pretty available anytime the pet owner needs me. In highschool, I dogsat on the weekends but now that I am out of highschool I’ve been doing it consistently. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether I’m at their home or mine. I stick to their usual routine provided by the pet owner. Feeding, walks, playtime, so they don’t get stressed. I keep their space clean and give them lots of attention and love. I’m calm and patient, so pets feel relaxed in their home.

About: I’ve been around and had pets my whole life. My personal animals are very well loved and cared for. I’m committed to sharing the same attention, love, & quality care that I have for my furry children for yours as well. Currently I’m available 6am-1pm Sunday through Thursday and Fridays and Saturdays I’m available all day. I have my other job I do during the evenings. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime! I am dedicated to the meticulous needs your pet may need whether that be medication, water, attention, exercise, special dietary needs, treats, pup cups, etc. Whatever the case may be your pet is special and I’m committed to whatever they might need.

“So thorough and great at communicating and sent the most amazing pictures of our cats. Was gone for a week and wasn’t worried at all! 10 out of 10 service!”


“Alicia gave our Maxwell his supplement and took care of him. She’s very good with him.”


“Becca was an excellent sitter in every way! I received detailed updates and my cat had everything she needed while I was away. Becca went above and beyond by becoming one of the first people my cat doesn’t hide from- which was astonishing. All that I was hoping for was to make sure she had water and assumed that she would just hide under the bed. Instead, I came home to a very happy little girl, who really wanted me to know she had made a new friend. Highly recommended!”


“Was super nice and I knew my pet was in great hands. Consistently provide feedback when ever we asked and always gave extra updates too which was super helpful and made us feel a lot better. The best thing overall was the puppy report card”


About: What can I say, I love dogs!!! Iv'e been around dogs my whole life, beginning with my Husky that loved chaperoning me around our backyard when I was a baby. I'm very grateful to have the experience with a dog since youth! I was raised around other animals too, bunnies, mice, and hamsters. Lol but I bond especially well with dogs. I hope to make new memories with your pet if you choose me! I am flexible and willing to work around your dogs schedule and my own. We can work something out to meet both our needs of course. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can be available overnights if needed if you are going away on a trip.

About: I grew up taking care of a big, sweet lab and spending time with my extended family’s large dogs. Since then I’ve had the privilege of bonding with the dogs of friends and past partners. I’ve been professionally dog sitting full-time for 2+ years, and off and on for 5. I follow the lead of the dog owner with commands and whether to have the dog(s) on leash or not. I’ve had many experiences of simple neighborhood walks, longer hikes in the wild, dog parks, car rides, giving medication, taking the dog to the vet when needed, and lots of playtime and cuddling. :) I love getting to know the unique personality of each dog I care for, and I do my best to make sure they have quality time and care while their person is away. I am a homebody + I am building an online business, so I am available to give steady presence to the pets, plants, and home I’m caring for. I value clear, direct communication, and I appreciate having detailed directions on how you would like me to care for your pet(s) and home. I’m very self sufficient and capable of dealing with unforeseen circumstances if they arise. I keep my space tidy and clean and will leave your home in as good or better shape than I found it. Please provide a clean and welcoming space for my arrival. I am careful to lock all doors/secure your home, bring in your mail and packages, and water your plants.

About: I’ve spent a lifetime caring for family pets. Now, an opportunity to professionally help families in need is too good to pass up! As a member of Rover, I will fulfill you/your pet’s needs with care, to the best of my ability and with the utmost transparency. I’m currently working full-time but can devote every day starting at 4 pm for any walking needs. I’m also available for pet sitting — I just need at least 24 hours in advance for scheduling. I’ve always treated pets as members of the family. It’s amazing how well dogs and cats can interact with us if we just pay attention. I have a calm demeanor and am patient with animals. My residence is not good for house sitting but I can travel, can house sit and am very easy to accommodate with any rules you have.


“This was our first experience using Rover and after meeting Danielle and Joshua we immediately felt at peace that they would be carrying for our dogs. They're isn't really enough good things about the experience and how happy we were. We plan to seek Danielle out again for the next trip and we're so happy to have found such amazing people to care for our fur babies!”


“Thanks Danielle. He was a happy boy!”


About: Pets and animals are precious to me. I’ve had small animals and medium dogs all my life. They deserve the best loving care. I have watched cats for friends. I’m a retired 48 yr old and looking for jobs I enjoy. I’ve provided medication for my own. So I can do those things. I understand dog signals and read what they want most times. I can tell when they are feeling bad, scared and happy. I try to calm and provide security for them as best as I can. I am retired and available for your pet(s). I am available most days and nights. I do have a couple days that I have Zoom meetings for couple hours which are Thursday 7 to 9:30 pm and Sunday’s 10-11:50 am. Some Saturday morning’s but I am flexible. I can pick up pets 3 hrs before these hours. I have a wide open yard but I don’t let dogs just roam on their own. I walk dogs outside on leashes. Most of my small dogs stay inside for safety. I walk my own dogs at dog parks when no people are around or go for small outings to get fresh air and a walk. I can watch at my place or near your place or hotel. Whatever makes you feel at ease and comfortable. My daughters small dogs are friendly. There are 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas. There is a room I can keep them to feel safe if they feel afraid. They can roam around the house. They are in safe loving hands because I want the owner to feel at ease and not to worry.

About: I sincerely love dogs and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I have a 9 year old dachshund that i claim as my little best friend.

I have experience with pet care as my employer has two large dogs which I am responsible for grooming daily, medication/ treats / food / inventory that include dietary restrictions. I also do occasional dog sitting. I would always love to have a quick chat to get to know your fur baby at the time a booking to assure they are feeling as comfortable as possible in their routine while their parents are away! I learn quick, enjoy picking up new skills. I love animals, helping people and giving out kindness in the world. I am employed and i work a part time schedule i am currently on my off season until October. I am available for weekend outings or late night dates! i will offer boarding for your furry loved ones. If the pup owner does not have a fenced in area I would assure a leash and colar is available for when they need to use the restroom or any fun walks! I would also ask the preferred way the pup owner would like things to be done!


“She knows what she is doing! I love her work! My dogs plus my clients' dogs were happy. She was willing to take over my clients' dogs while I had an urgent family affair (death) out of state. She's awesome!”


“I HIGHLY recommend Hannah. We had a bit of a unique request in that we needed someone to care for our axolotls while we were out of town. IT WAS Hannahs first time caring for them. She took exceptional care of our hungry munchkins! She sent us pics during each visit, cleaned their tanks, fed them, and more. She went above and beyond. You will not be disappointed.”


About: Hello I'm Madeline, and I'm here to care for your pet just as I do for my own! I love cats and dogs alike, and have taken care of many different breeds and personality types over the years. I've yet to find any pet that I can't handle! Your pets will be loved and cared for so you don't have to worry while you are away :) For Boarding: I live on 5 acres of a wonderful pinon paradise, where your dog(s) can play and hike to their heart's content! I take my own pup for 3 walks a day, so yours will get plenty of exercise. And if they don't mind the car, I'm happy to take them to parks and longer hikes if you like! They can sleep in their own bedroom or in a fully furnished cosy workshop if they prefer. I work from home so will give them my full attention 24/7. I pay very close attention to any specific needs for diet, behavior, or whatever special instructions you give. I love to send photos and updates as often as you like, so you can see they are happy and healthy! If it's drop-in visits only, I give my full attention to playing, hugging, entertaining your pets the entire time I'm there. I hate leaving my pets behind while I travel, so I know how to ensure other owners that their pets are cared for as if they were my own :) I currently work my own schedule so can be flexible with whatever your pets needs may be. If they are boarding in my home, they will have 24/7 attention. I own 5 acres with a good portion fenced in if staying at my home. I love energetic hikes and walks and will cater to your dog's fitness level. I take my own cat outdoors on a harness and would be happy to train yours too! Whatever level of care your pet is accustomed to, I will deliver the same while they are in my care.

“Mel is such a loving, caring, intuitive, and energetically excellent guy for your active canine pupper! He is attentive to the owner’s and dog’s needs, and he communicates efficiently and promptly with the owner. If you have an active doggo, he’s definitely your guy. Mel takes them on hikes, drives, walks, parks, and will snuggle up to your dog at night to ensure love and safety for them. Awesome caregiver hands down!!”


Meghan Q.
“Meghan was a wonderful sitter -- warm, open, and communicative from the get-go when we first met via Zoom; upon her arrival at my home, so that I had peace of mind when I got to my vacation destination; periodically during the week (including sending pictures of my little Gracie); and upon her departure/day of my return. I came home to an animated and healthy kitty, a clean and welcoming home, and a newsy update letter from Meghan with various details from the week. I am grateful for the care and attention Meghan gave to both my cat and my home, and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter!”
