Cat Sitting in Tesuque

“Stephanie was patient and sweet with my sometimes feisty kitty, I would very happily ask her to help me in the future - thanks so much Stephanie!”

“We are always so grateful for Kimmy! One of our senior cats has a few medicines and can be challenging, and Kimmy always figures out a way to get him to take his meds. Communication and photos are always exceptional. Highest recommendation!”

About: I grew up with dogs, where daily walks, training, and lots of cuddles were part of life. Caring for them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animal behaviour. I’ve also volunteered with Assistance Dogs of the West (ADW), assisting with the training and care of service dogs. Beyond dogs, I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds and aim to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pets individual personality and needs. I currently work five days a week (Tuesday-Saturday) from 12-6pm, which allows me mornings and evenings to dedicate time to pet care. Having a dog of my own, I understand the importance of routines and attention. I can provide morning/evening walks, midday visits, or longer weekend sessions to ensure each pet gets exercise, care, and companionship. In my own home, I provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where my dog receives daily walks, feeding, and plenty of attention. In clients’ homes I follow each pet’s specific schedule and preferences. I aim to respect your home rules and routines while giving your pet consistent care, attention, and affection so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.

“Wonderful cat caregiver! Wonderful and thoughtful communicator.”

About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.

About: Grew up working on a horse farm, have been cat & dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and for hire ever since I had my own transportation. Lots of experience as a foster volunteer working with shy puppies and reactive dogs. Firm believer in the power of mental enrichment and fear-free, positive reinforcement training. I’m and artist, writer, and part time marketer, so I get to make my own schedule. There’s plenty of flexibility in my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. Understanding pet body language is something I’m really big on; if I see cues your fur baby is getting uncomfortable in any situation, I’ll immediately start looking for alternative ways to help them feel safe and relaxed again. I take instructions from pet parents as gospel, and strive to keep care as loving and consistent as if you would for your fluffy ones.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve supported senior pets through their final stages with patience and compassion, and I’ve also helped care for newborn litters, closely monitoring their health and development as they grow. I also have personal experience caring for handicapped pets. I’ve owned and cared for an older three-legged dog, and I’ve helped friends with pets who needed assistance walking, standing, or getting comfortable. Providing gentle support and adapting to each animal’s unique needs is something I take seriously and approach with kindness. My lifelong experience with horses — including care at the professional competition level — has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to high-quality care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and IV treatments, and have experience doing so for dogs, cats, and horses. Above all, I treat every animal entrusted to me as if they were my own, providing thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loving care. I currently work a flexible 9–5 schedule, which allows me to stop by during the day for potty breaks, short walks, or check-ins as needed. Outside of my work hours, I have open availability aside from time spent at the gym or caring for my horses at the barn. I prioritize clear communication and planning to ensure your pets receive consistent, reliable care throughout the day. In my home, my pets are truly part of the family. I have a Belgian Malinois mix who has 24 hour access to our fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and explore. She can also come in and relax in our upstairs office whenever she would like, so she is free to choose where she feels most comfortable. We go on daily walks and occasional hikes to keep her happy and fulfilled. Because I also have three indoor cats, one elderly and one still quite young, I supervise full house access to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My dog is very cat friendly, but I am always mindful of each animal’s comfort level. My cats have free roam of the house, lots of toys, cozy spots, and supervised outdoor time during warm summer days. I pay close attention to their different personalities and needs, especially my senior kitty. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for them. I like to learn their routine, when they eat, where they sleep, how they like to play, and any little quirks that make them unique. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

“Melinda went above and beyond what I expected. I got daily notifications of my cat and his medicine regimen. My place was actually cleaner than when I left it too!”

About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little and I loved to care for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.

“Cheyenne was great! My dog Theo was super happy and excited when we got home from our vaca! Got pictures throughout the weekend that allowed me to enjoy my time away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Christina P.

“Vicki did great with my fussy cat. Philly doesn’t take to strangers very easily but she became comfortable with Vicki quickly. Philly allowed Vicki to brush her and played some. Vicki also did some extras around the house as needed. Very good communication with pictures.”

“Lewis is great! friendly, reliable, responsible. he took great care of our kitty and left our home clean. he sent us updates and photos everyday. highly recommend him!”

Amber B.

“This was my first time using rover and I’m so glad I found Gavin. He did such a great job watching over my two kitties while I was away. He was so kind and caring to them and he sent pictures every time he dropped by along with a quick message to update me on how they were doing. What I really thought stood out about Gavin’s care was that he went the extra mile and spent the time trying to win over my cats hearts with play times and treats to help them warm up to him. Whenever I’m away I won’t hesitate to contact him. I didn’t have to worry about them at all knowing that they were in good hands. Thanks Gavin! You rock! -Natalie”
