Cienna took great care of our pack of babies. We received many pictures and updates while we were away and Cienna was respectful of our home, which made it easy for us to relax while away.

I’ve had Ren house/ pet sit for me a few times now and it’s been a great experience each time! The communication is excellent and I get updates with pictures throughout the time I’m away. The house is well taken care of and the animals love Ren too. I would highly recommend this sitter (:

Jaime is an excellent house sitter and dog caregiver. Cooper loved him. He was very thoughtful in taking care of the house and even pitched in on a chore or two that was above and beyond. Checked in as requested. Highly recommend.

Kellie is great. We have two big Akitas that need supervision to prevent them from destroying the house when we are gone. The dogs warmed up to her immediately. She arrived right on time and there were no issues. Would definitely hire her again!

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.

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.

About: Even though I'm fairly new to dog care, I approach every dog with patience, attentiveness, and a strong willingness to learn and very detail oriented. I structure my daily routine around cat pet care, so it's never an afterthought. I start my mornings with feeding, refreshing water, which fits naturally into my day. Midday, I schedule check-ins for playtime or litter box cleaning. In the evenings, I dedicate time for feeding and quality interaction. I care for pets in my clients' homes by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation. I respect the clients home by keeping everything clean and secure, and I provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are safe and well cared for.

We were a little nervous at first since we'd never had anyone take care of Banjo other than family. Jasmine put our minds at ease immediately. She took great care of our spoiled pup. She sent regular updates to let us know everything was going well. In addition to taking great care of Banjo, she also was very respectful of our home. We look forward to booking her again. It went so well, my wife and I only half-jokingly talked about scheduling future trips based on Jasmine's availability.

About: Hi there! I’m Kris, a passionate animal lover with 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, belly rubs, or cozy naps on the couch, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. While I am new to the Rover app. I am not new to giving you peace of mind that your pet (of any size breed, fur or scales) will be taken care of. I work in the medical field so am comfortable with any special needs or medications should the need arise. I am also a certified (not officially) belly and head scratcher of all animals and am more than capable of playing fetch at great lengths. I will make sure to communicate with you on how your pet is doing, and am happy to provide pictures if requested. I currently work full time two days a week in the medical field. This allows for ample time off to walk, play, or drop in to check on your four legged friends. My schedule is flexible and I don’t mind holidays as long as I am in town. I currently live in an apartment so dog sitting in my home is extremely limited at this time. I am more than happy to schedule a meet and great to get to know you and your loved ones needs and style. I am also happy to take your dog out on walks, have playtime, and any needed cuddle time to help you feel better when you’re away.

TOP NOTCH, is probably the best way I can describe Jennifer. I am a newbie to New Mexico and had to make an unexpected trip to California. I was a bit stressed about leaving my girls behind because back home I could leave them with a family member. When we did our meet and greet it was obvious that Jennifer would be a great choice. My girls especially my smaller dog Lucy took to her right away, the meeting eased my anxiety about having to leave them. Jennifer sent daily pictures and updates, she took them for walks, calmed Lucy when she heard fireworks, and really feel she went the extra mile. I don’t think I could have left my girls in better hands. I sincerely appreciate the care she gave then and would recommend her in a heartbeat. I will defiantly be using her again Jennifer is a keeper!

Allison was great! She came the night before we left (we had to leave before 5am to catch our plane) so we had enough time to discuss dog care. She sent daily texts with photos so we knew our dog was doing well. When we returned, the house was very neat and she washed her sheets and towels, and that was very appreciated. Allison is very pleasant and obviously likes dogs very much. We will definitely request her again.

About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.

Cienna was reliable and communicative, and took good care of my dog while I was away. When I returned home, my dog was happy, healthy, and calm. I also appreciated Cienna's flexibility in staying an additional day when my travel plans unexpectedly changed. I'm grateful for the care she provided and would book with her again in the future.

Bethany is amazing! She sent photos and updates and even the pups that don't do well with strangers took to her; and to be honest, I trust the dogs instincts over my own! :) Despite getting ER sick while here, she made sure everything was done before taking herself to the hospital! To me, putting yourself aside to care for someone else's pups is just above and beyond! We will definitely be booking again!
