About: I have been around a variety of animals most of my life. I am currently training my dog to be a service animal and have previously had a senior dog. With my senior dog, I provided loving care and support as his mobility changed. I am currently minoring in companion animal science, with the intent to become a physical therapist for animals. I am currently a full-time student at NMSU as well as a part-time employee at NMSU. My availability will vary depending on the semester. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the hours I am available. I can provide potty breaks throughout the day, afternoon walks, kennel them if needed, house sitting, and provide picture updates if you are missing your fur babies.
“I needed a dog walker on very short notice for a few days. Jasmine responded fast, we had a nice introductory meeting and she did a wonderful job with my dog during my absence. She was timely, did her task with my dog very lovingly and I will use Jasmine soon again. Wonderful experience and I would recommend her anytime!”
“Anna was superb! She was very caring and loving with our elderly dog. Also, because she is studying to be a physician, she was an excellent choice in pet sitters to help walk our dog with arthritis and provide him with eye medication. She was very thorough and professional at all times, and very friendly. She always kept her word and arrived early and spent extra time. Our little dog fell in love with her! She asked numerous questions and made sure she provided exactly the care that we were asking her to do for our dog. Her photos and descriptions of each of the walks with our dog were very helpful while we were out of state. This was our first time using Rover. Anna earned an A+ with us! She made us feel very comfortable in our absence. We would definitely use Anna again, and so would our dog Guinness!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! She took good care of my dog and was great with communication and sending me videos of my baby!! Definitely will be booking again!”
About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.”
“Allison has been my dog walker for over two months, and I couldn't be happier! She comes three days a week, and my dog absolutely loves her. He gets so excited when he sees her and will actually wait by the front door when he knows she is coming. It’s clear that he has formed a special bond with her, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is also incredibly dependable and caring. She has been wonderful about giving him his medication when needed and always treats him with patience and kindness. I truly appreciate knowing that he is not only getting his walks but also getting lots of love and attention while I’m gone. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring to take care of their pets. I am so lucky to have found her! 🐾❤️”

About: I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter. I work full-time from home, so I’m here throughout the day and night to care for your pup. My large, secure backyard is always open, giving dogs the freedom to come and go as they please. Access to the backyard is available all day for the dogs and they can freely go in and out as needed. I have a safe and secure home where dogs are allowed on the furniture and in every room of the house. I do not smoke or do any drugs and will ensure the safety, love, and care of your dogs. My home is a quiet, calm, and serene environment.
About: I am such an animal person- they are the best friends and sweetest creatures. I’m incredibly passionate about animal caretaking; I love meeting people’s pets and getting to know their personalities and quirks. I’ve been taking care of pets since I was young; I dogsat for families in my neighborhood and took care of my two cats. Before she passed, I took care of my senior cat Jasmine, so I also have experience in senior animal care. I currently walk, feed and take care of dogs in the local area while I work as a teaching assistant and master's student at NMSU. Additionally, I volunteer at a local animal shelter to take care of and keep company furry friends! Pet care is an important part of my routine; its good exercise and being around animals is one of my favorite things. Sometimes the best part of my day is when I get to meet a little friend! I really enjoy spending time with them outside as well. Before animal sitting, I make sure I go over the pet’s needs with the owner, any triggers, boundaries and environmental hazards. I make sure to be cleanly and efficient while making sure that the pet feels comfortable and engaged with!

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet. Animals have been a constant part of my life, and I have committed myself to taking care of them and I truly enjoy it . Growing up surrounded by pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and inspired me to gain as much hands-on experience as possible in animal care. I have volunteered with several animal organizations, including APA (Action Program for Animals), where I primarily provided dog socialization and took dogs on walks. Through this experience, I became comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and gained valuable experience working with larger breeds as well as reactive dogs, allowing me to provide patient, safe, and compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I have also volunteered with CCCS (Cruces Cool Cats), where I assisted with basic sanctuary sanitation by cleaning and maintaining the facility to ensure a healthy and comfortable environment for the cats. In addition, I helped with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) transportation and cat socialization, giving me experience working with cats of many different personalities. I also volunteer with ASCMV, where I completed a required dog handling mini course that taught proper handling techniques, canine body language, and safe interactions with dogs of different temperaments. This training has given me the confidence and knowledge to work with pets that are shy, nervous, reactive, or high-energy while always prioritizing their safety and comfort. Outside of volunteering, I own an Australian Cattle Dog mix, so I understand firsthand the dedication, patience, and exercise that high-energy breeds require. I am also an avid runner, which makes me well-prepared to provide energetic dogs with the physical activity and enrichment they need through long walks, runs, or active play sessions. Whether your pet enjoys an adventurous outing or prefers a calm, leisurely walk, I am happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I understand that pets are more than just animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you trust me with your pet, I will care for them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I am currently enrolled at DACC as a freshman, majoring in Associate of Science with plans to transfer to New Mexico State University's Animal Science program. My long-term goal is to attend veterinary school and become a veterinarian. Every opportunity to care for pets allows me to continue learning, growing, and gaining valuable hands-on experience, and I look forward to providing the highest quality care for your furry family members I’m currently a student and but I’m available after 12pm as well as full time on on Sundays and Saturdays. Weekday availability may vary, but I’m happy to coordinate schedules and work something out when possible! I can’t wait to meet your pets ! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I also send photo updates so owners can feel they’re confident their pets are in good hands !
About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.
About: I have had dogs for 10 years for small breeds, medium breeds, and large breeds. Love seeing dogs explore there full potential and enjoy life from their eyes.

Rachel always does so well with our furbabies and is very good at communicating any concerns, needs, and questions while doing care. My spouse and I trust her with the care of our animals. She has done exceptionally while walking my two dogs in the mornings when I had a last minute cancelation from someone and had work deadlines I needed to focus on. We would happily have her come help with our fubabies again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your University Park. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in University Park. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 82% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
