About: Hi! I was born on a farm in Vietnam and have been around dogs and cats since young. Once I moved to the US I was the dedicated pet sitter for all my family and friends. Additionally I volunteered at animal shelters throughout middle school - Highschool! I would love to meet and take care of your furry friends! My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to talk with you before you decide on me! I work remotely from home, so I’ll be around to take care of your furry friends! If you need me at your place I can also do that! I have no small children and other pets beside from a caged hamster, that will be in a separate room from your pets. I will be attentive to your pets and accommodate what their needs are.
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!”

“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.”

“We're so appreciate and can't thank Skyler enough for watching our pups on short notice! The dogs and house were very well cared for, in great hands, and we'd highly recommend Skyler!”

“Leah was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two dogs, and really listened to my instructions on my shy/skittish dog! She left my place clean, and my dogs were well cared for! Would absolutely hire her again!!”


“Vince was wonderful, highly recommend! He took great care of our chickens, goats, dogs and cats! Our dogs clearly missed him and were looking around the house for him when we got back.”

“August is a pro. Here are just a few examples. -Established immediate rapport with, and respect from, our teenage Bernedoodle. -Came to the meet and greet prepared to take notes -Confirmed the dates after our meet and greet, as well as confirmation the morning of the job. -Left our home every bit as tidy as when we left -Sent pictures and gave Tigger good walks We'll plan to hire August again.”

“Hoss is amazing!!! They were available on unreasonably short notice when the original sitter I had booked randomly disappeared. Our dogs were obsessed with Hoss from the first moment, and I have no doubt our precious ones felt safe and cared for the entire time. On top of looking after two finicky pups (one is elderly and requires medication, one is shy and stubborn, and they are both bratty), they took great care of our home and made sure to send us updates, even going out of their way to hand feed our little girl her kibbles when she went on hunger strike because of our absence. Hoss is attentive and understanding, a true animal lover. And to top it all off they have a great personality, radiating kindness and fun energy. We would be lucky to have them sit for us again. 10/10 highly recommend.”
“My dogs and I loved having Lauren stay with them. She is observant and trustworthy. I can tell how they connect with her that they felt at home with her. My 2 large dogs are high energy and talkative. They have been difficult to manage for friends and family in the past. Lauren was able to communicate with them and set firm boundaries. I really appreciated having her stay, spend time with them, and know they were safe and loved with her.”

“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.”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them. Being retired I can spend as much time as needed to care for your fur babies. My versatile schedule allows me availability to be with them whenever needed to let them out, play, feed and check on them. I look forward to meeting them, and you. I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.
About: I have had dogs for many years and loved them all. Whippets and rescues, poodles, and mixed breeds have all found love in my home. I have cared for dogs of others, both in my home and as a house sitter. (I will housesit for cats but cannot have them in my home due to family member allergy). I have cared for puppies and all ages, including senior dogs. Medication, feeding, walks, playing, loving...all can be done. I am retired from working as an art therapist. We have a young pup at home who loves other dogs. I am home throughout the day and will work with needed schedules. When I am out on errands, etc, my pup currently is free to roam the house. We have a fenced yard, a dog door, and easy care home. I will work with whatever requirements are needed to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.
“Jessie did a super job. She provided great care and communication over a long weekend, and my dog and dwelling were is superior shape upon my return. Much thanks to Jessie!”
Uptown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Josephine took amazing care of my 13 year old shih-tzu Chloe, and was extremely attentive to all of her needs. Chloe has separation anxiety, so I was worried to travel but Josephine was reliable, communicative and made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup! Chloe was clearly so well taken care of & loved for 😊

Corinne was great - our dogs are very suspicious to everyone they meet, but Corinne made friends with them very fast. She send us daily updates and pictures and we felt that they are in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Corinne again - and I hope she will be available than as well.

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!

Madelynne was very good with our cats and senior dogs. We aren't always comfortable leaving them with sitters as they've gotten older. She had to deal with a small medical emergency with one of our senior dogs, and administer medicine. She did great. All dogs and cats were comfortable and happy when we got home, and the house was tidy. Would definitely book again, and recommend booking with her. Thanks, Madelynne!
