House Sitting Story Rock

“Daniel went above and beyond. We have three 50lb girls, and they were in perfect spirits when we got home from a trip that was longer than two weeks. We got pictures every day, so much fetch was played that I can see a little path worn into the dirt in our yard, and they even got special cooked meals for the holidays! On top of all that, Daniel was a great steward of our home. Everything was neatly kept, and in order when we got back. As someone that's worked with a variety of animals, from cats to horses, I was incredibly impressed. 10/10 will book again.”

“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”

About: Volunteered at a vet clinic & pet sat for friends and family & discovered the joy of comforting pets when they're feeling anxious and home sick. I am pursuing a master's in computer science at UNM, and my schedule can be flexible. I will be home for the most part, but if I ever need to step away it's only for a couple hours. My boyfriend and I work as a team in caring for our dogs, and we do the same for our clients. It's normal for your pet to feel homesick, so we do our best to make them feel like they are at home and give them the quality time and affection they are used to from their loved ones ❤️ Baxter is 9 yo pit mix & Chiqui is an 8 yo Pomeranian/chihuahu. We have a small fenced yard and a kennel that Baxter uses for whenever we have to leave the house to run errands. Our dogs sleep in their beds upstairs in our bedroom, and we set up your pet's bed next to us as well. We typically ask clients to bring their pet's bed or crate/kennel and a blanket or toy they like to cuddle with to remind them of home 🤍 If you could also pack their food, food bowl, and leash for their stay, that would be great! 🐾

About: Hello! My name is Kailey… but you can call me KACI!🖤 I’ve dog-sit🐶, cat-sit🐱, guinea pig-sit🐹, bunny-sit🐰 and rat-sit🐀 since I was 16 for pets of all sizes and personalities. Hence, why I’ve finally chosen to create an account on Rover🐾! (see my testimonials so far). From a quick check-in to an extended stay, I’m here to provide you a reliable, attentive service creating happy experiences through safe and loving care focused on affection, routines, and stress-free time away.<3 I work part-time at a cafe (usually early mornings) and I’m also a Film student here at UNM🎥. Despite that, I have open availability and all the time in the world for your fluffy friends!☺️ I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly puppies; 2 miniature poodles (Leo and Raphael; boys) and 1 little wiener dog (Splinter; girl). They all follow morning and evening feeding schedules, regular outside time, as well as walks to our local dog park that’s just down the street from where I live!🏞️ When it’s time to settle down, they get put in there kennels at night… along with their many toys (their cuddle buddies). Aside from the occasional treat and many many cuddles, that’s about all that’s needed to keep them happy and healthy. c:

“Tatiana went above and beyond taking care of our dogs. She gave them lots of love and attention, gave consistent updates, and took very good care of my home. I would recommend her to anyone in need of dog sitting services.”

“We are so happy to have met Melanie! The pack loves her and appreciate her care and love. We can’t wait to see her again - when the humans go on their next adventure.”

Steph and Keerat S.

“Jessica was amazing! She communicated very well and was very flexible/accommodating. My dogs can sometimes be iffy with people, but they adjusted to her really well! She left the house very clean and cared for the dogs as asked!”

Taylor L.

“Abigail helped us in a very hectic moment. We needed someone for a few hours and she replied within a minute of the request. She was willing to FaceTime and chat and headed to our place immediately. She was also very responsive during the sit. It eased a lot of anxiety I had (unrelated to her). I highly recommend Abigail.”

“Skyler was very attentive to our senior cats needs. She went out of her way to make Seeker was comfortable with her, and she was very reliable about communicating with us daily.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.

“Ethanee was so great with our anxious small dog Holly, who also just happened to injure herself right before our trip out of the country, so she needed medication and special treatment during our week away. Ethanee was communicative, sending us lots of updates, and left our house in great shape. Holly has a hard time with new people, but seemed to warm up to Ethanee right away! We felt so relieved that she was in good hands, and wouldn't hesitate to book Ethanee again!”

“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.”

“Another excellent pet sitting experience with Kilee! Kilee is very sweet and professional! She has a lot of patience with Jon Jon and great skills and experience!”

“My daughter and i went on a toadtrip to CA to visit potential colleges for about 10 days. I contacted a lot of people on Rover somewhat last minute. Faris was the first to respond! And I am so happy and appreciative that I chose him! He is the absolute best! He's so kind and friendly and professional and funny and totally loves my 2 husky brothers. He's making home-made dog food due to my pups sensitive digestion. He walks them daily if not twice a day when its not too hot. He's house sitting as well and stays with my guys most of the time. He's very aware of protecting them from the heat. He's a great communicator. He listened to me about the dog training Ive dome so he could keep it up while Im away. He sends messages daily with walking pics and others. He often tells me how much he loves my Huskies! I am overjoyed that I found him!! I know without a doubt that my Pups are having the time of their lives! Thank you Faris!!!”

“Leah sent us daily updates and we came back to a tidy house and calm and happy kitties. We appreciated that she took care of kitten messes and kept us informed.”

“I was very hesitant to have a stranger stay at our home with our girls….much less a stranger that I found on the internet. After reading Tracy’s profile, I felt that she was best suited for our girls and boy was I right! She took the time during our meet and greet to talk with me and get to know our girls. Throughout our trip she gave thorough updates and sent pictures to ensure everyone was good. We have a reactive dog and Tracy showed her grace and patience, and with her knowledge and experience she was a friend not foe by the end. We have always put off trips that come up because of the dogs and never feeling comfortable with anyone staying with them. This is definitely not the case anymore now that we have established a relationship with Tracy. I would recommend her a million times.”

Leah R.

“Bri is amazing! She watched pup for a little over a week and provided lots of updates and pictures. Came home to a clean house and a happy dog. Will definitely use her services in the future. Highly recommend!”

Danielle O.

“Miranda was awesome with Benji and was so conscientious! She sent regular updates and was great about communicating with me during the sit. I came home to a content puppy and a very tidy home. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!”

Victoria C.

“Lucy was awesome! She sent us updates an d photos. Our dogs were well taken care of and we appreciated having the peace of mind living in a new city. She left our house exactly the way we left it. Thank you!”
