“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!”

“Brigit was responsible, responsive, and capable with our maltipoo puppy for four days while we were gone. She sent picture updates, left the house tidy, and our pup was happy.”

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.

“Alexis did an amazing job caring for our pup Benny and our home while we were on vacation. I’m usually pretty anxious about leaving Benny since he can be a bit high-energy, but Alexis handled him so naturally and confidently. She kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which really helped put me at ease. She made sure Benny got his walks and lots of love, and even left our home clean before she left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—10/10, we would absolutely hire Alexis again!”

“Jamie and Patrick did a great job caring for our pets during our 10 day trip! They sent regular updates, took our dog for walks, and took care of all our pets needs so that we could relax and not worry at all during our vacation! We definitely plan to use them again!”

“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.”

“Greg spent three weeks at our house looking after our beautiful dog Misty. Greg was wonderful, he cherished and cared for Misty as if she were his own. He also looked after the house, and kept us informed with pictures, videos, and texts, we have no complaints. I highly recommend Greg; you will not be disappointed.”

“First turn since moving that we left our pets for a week, and Hossanna made us feel super comfortable and we could relax knowing our pets were being well taken care of! Very communicative and took great care of the house and our creatures.”

“Vy did an amazing job looking after our Cosmo! she abide by all of our requests, and was able to fit in in such short notice! Cosmo was super happy that somebody stayed with him, it was his first day alone without either of us, so being able to find a sitter to watch him when he’s just a puppy was amazing! I will definitely book with Vy again in the future!”

“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”


“Vincent has watch our dogs, and home, twice. He is very professional, courteous, dependable, and communicates well. It gives great peace of mind knowing that our dogs are being well cared for in their own home when we are away. Thank you, Vincent! Looking forward to next time.”

“Our girl Honey is an older dog with hearing a vision issues as well as doggy dementia. Needless to say, we get nervous about leaving her. Luckily, Leah was fantastic with her over the five days she watched her. She also took wonderful care of our house. Honey is looking forward to seeing Leah again soon :)”

“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”

“Once again August thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur babies! Especially caring for the sore under Whiskey’s ear!! We feel so comfortable leaving them knowing they are in your care!”

Stronghurst pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sheri was an amazing dog sitter for us! She was extremely responsive, and kept us in the loop daily with what was going on. Sent pictures of the dogs every morning and let us know how they were doing. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got back! Would recommend Sheri every time.

Brigit was great. My animals all are happy and well cared for. She was completely comfortable giving medications to my dog and with maintaining the routines my animals are used to. My house was clean and as I left it. She sent pictures daily, which l sincerely appreciated. Definitely a positive experience. Thank you so much!!

Riley was great - she is communicative, sweet, and took good care of my pup and house! My dog was on a couple of meds so was feeling off during her stay and she made sure to give him his meds and was understanding of his weird little behaviors. I had total peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were gone. Thanks you!! 😊

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.

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.

We couldn’t have asked for a better house and cat sitter during our 10-day trip. From start to finish, she was incredibly responsible, communicative, and flexible, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, and it was clear our cats were in great hands. Even our shy cat—who usually keeps to themselves—came out to interact with her (especially at treat time!), which says a lot about the care and patience she showed. She handled medications without any issues and made sure all of their routines were followed. Beyond pet care, she took excellent care of our home as well. Everything was clean and well-maintained when we returned. She watered our plants, managed trash and recycling, and kept up with mail and packages, which was incredibly helpful. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and thoughtful sitter.
