“August did a wonderful job caring for our girls again! They got lots of love while we were gone, which makes it easier to travel knowing they are in good hands.”
“Susana was wonderful! She took great care of our three cats and a bunch of our little foster kittens! She even managed to administer last minute medications for all three squirmy kittens. She was great to communicate with and we definitely plan to book her again!”
“Hannah was great! She came out to meet our cat (and us) and get the run-down. Monkey seemed to like Hannah right away, which is weird for Monkey. Hannah was responsive throughout our trip and left the place spotless. I'll be happy to have Hannah cat-sit the next time our usual friend is unavailable - we are grateful she got us out of a tight spot this time!”
“My second time working with Esperita! She continues to go above and beyond and looks for extra things to make sure my cats are comfortable. I had an emergency in my home and she accommodated me to make sure the cats were ok and give me priceless peace of mind. My cats seems to have warmed up to her and I LOVE the summary cards at the end. Thank you Esperita!”
About: Hi, my name is Sam. I am in the Albuquerque area and would be happy to help you with your pets. I have tons of experience with animals including volunteering for cat adoption days with PACA, rehoming abandoned animals, petsitting special needs animals, fostering, agility and show dog training, and behavioral training with dogs. I also have a passion for my fish hobby :) due to this app being a little odd with keeping a lot of our pay lets discuss on our own time a good solid plan ahead with your furry friend that way everyone is happy :) I am available in the afternoons up to the early evenings. However, I can make an exception for some early morning check-ins or walks. Just feel free to ask first! Because I work from home, I am more flexible when it comes to extended periods of pet-sitting as long as I have a quiet place to work. Whatever instructions and guidance I am given I am happy to respect and adhere to those rules when it comes to being in someone else's space or if they are coming to my house. In my own home, it is calm, quiet, with a gated area in the back patio with a garden. The animals are free to move about in the house. I do not have a backyard per se but the back patio is a decent size and secure for dogs to do their business and relax for a bit. I do not have animals of my own at the moment.
“Fantastic! I can't say anything more positive for Jennifer. She met me beforehand to meet my cats, asked questions, was very personable, and I could tell that she cares a lot about animals. She provided photos every day of both drop-in and when she left. She texted and responded promptly. I really felt safe with her coming into my home to take care of my cats each night I was gone. If you're looking for somebody in Albuquerque, look no further. She is it. Seriously. Thank you again, Jennifer. And I will always go to you to care for my kitties if I have to leave town! Also, I could tell my cats were very attached to her. One of them, can be shy around new individuals but she immediately went up to her. Was definitely a good sign from the beginning.”
About: I currently work as an animal protection officer for the City of Albuquerque animal welfare department. I'm can handle energetic pets with high physical activity needs. I have 2+years experience as a shelter volunteer and 1 year experience as doggy daycare attendant. I have worked with dogs and cats various breeds, ages, temperaments and sizes. I've handled various behavioral problems, health problems, and even special needs (visual impairment, hearing impartment, trauma, missing or damaged limbs.) I can do minor medical work, bottle feed, and have experience with cats and dogs from early puppyhood to end of life. I will use my knowledge, skill, and experience to ensure the best quality care for your pet. I currently have two dogs that I care for every day. I moved here recently so I'm in the process of becoming a volunteer at a shelter here. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs. My dogs are walked often and the first thing I do in the morning in give them attention. I've done some basic obedience training with them and have had them for several years.
About: I am an active individual who enjoys caring for animals! I work as a behavioral health technician so caring for beings is my thing! I would love to care for your pets and make sure they have a clean space, plenty of exercise, and company! I work Sunday-Tuesday 6:30am-7:30pm. I am happy to care for your pets before or after my shifts, but otherwise I am available all day Wednesday-Saturday! Caring for your pets is also caring for you! I believe that respect for your space and wishes comes first! I will ensure that all boundaries you set for your pets and home are honored.
“Tammy and her husband did a great job of taking care of our pets, even during an ice storm. She also reached out to us during a power outage with questions. Would be happy to have her come by if/when we go away again.”
“Nothing is more important to me than "peace of mind" when I am out of town and knowing Travis was taking care of my cats delivered just that. When I arrived home this morning I think they were disappointed it was me and not Travis. He went the extra mile to give them so much more than the feeding instructions I requested. Absolutely a professional and caring person.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand that every pet deserves patience, compassion, and personalized attention. In addition to caring for my own pets, I volunteer and foster with animal welfare organizations, giving me experience working with animals of different ages, personalities, and special needs. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and capable hands. I work Mon-Fri however I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can visit and feed in the mornings and am usually off work by 3pm or 4pm which give me plenty of time to walk feed and spend time with your furry friends. I care for every pet as though they are a member of my own family. My own pets receive daily love, attention, enrichment, fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a consistent routine that helps them feel safe and happy. I pay close attention to their behavior and health so I can quickly notice if something seems out of the ordinary. When caring for someone else’s pet, I follow their routine as closely as possible because I know consistency helps pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, respecting their boundaries while giving them the affection, playtime, exercise, or quiet companionship they need. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping litter boxes and living spaces clean, providing walks, or simply spending quality time together, my goal is to ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for until their family returns.
About: I love animals. I will give your pets lots of attention and care. 40+ years experience taking care of various animals. I am very attentive. I am not currently working at the moment and I homeschool my 17 year old teenage son. He loves animals too! I am very flexible. I give them lots of attention, pets, cuddles, playtime and go for walks. There is an off-leash dog park just down the street from me. I know how to administer meds easily and stress-free.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 465 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Tijeras. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
