“As a first-time Rover user and a nervous dog mom, I was hesitant to leave Banjo with anyone, especially since we just adopted him from a shelter. However, Jenelle completely exceeded my expectations. She was incredibly thoughtful and even suggested a meet-and-greet before the stay to make sure Banjo would be comfortable. She showed such patience and care with him, especially since he’s a shy and nervous dog. Throughout our trip, Jenelle kept us updated with regular photos and videos, which really helped ease my worries. Banjo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time with Jenelle and her own dogs. I think he was a little upset that we were taking him home because he had so much fun!! We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”
“Diana is so kind and knowledgeable. My dogs were perfectly at home in her care. She gave us tons of photos, videos, and updates while we were gone and spoiled them with lots of walks. We will definitely book with her every time we travel from now on.”
“Melissa is amazing with Diggory. We feel so confident when we leave him. He loves to go and he comes back happy and well cared for. We love how she sends pictures and keeps him active. If he can’t be with us this is the place I’d want him to be. Thanks Melissa!”
“Chelsey and her roommates did a great job taking care of Daisy! They played with her and took her on walks. I was nervous about Daisy being with another dog but by the next day they were best friends! I will deffiently be using Chelsey again when I need Daisy to go to a sitter. Chelsey sent me pictures and messages to let me know how it was going throughout the visit.”
“Thank you Khanh for your service. Our experience with you was wonderful. Thank you for sending us pictures and updates on Shumu everyday that we're gone. Now we're not hesitating to go on more trips knowing he is well taken care of. We appreciate you very very much. Looking forward to seeing you again. Shumu”
“Jennifer was great!! She watched our 7 m/o Lab for the weekend and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures/videos. Would 100% recommend her to anyone and we will use her again if needed! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“From Sarah we got quick response, she sent pictures, she is very kind and did a great job taking care of Maggie. Maggie had a very good time with Sarah and her doggies. Definitely we would book with Sarah again.”
“Boarding with Lola was great! We were worried about our sweet boy Franklin as we’ve boarded at our doggie daycare before and he didn't do very well. So heading into this boarding experience, we were nervous to leave but Lola made the experience so much less stressful! We felt comfortable leaving him with her from the start! We also got pictures and videos through the boarding experience and Franklin looked like he was having the best time! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy 💙”
“Jaden was wonderful. Very friendly and accommodating. Blue loved his stay with Jaden. She was always in touch with pictures and videos of blue’s stay. She went above and beyond to deliver a 5 star service. Would definitely recommend her to everyone. Thank you Jaden.”
“Megan and her family were absolutely amazing with Lucky. They provided him with amazing care and love just like he was their own. I received daily texts and pictures about how he’s doing and how much fun he was having. Our family is so grateful and appreciative of Megan, and will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you so much Megan!”
“Jocelyn did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our fur baby, Stetson, while we were out of town. It’s never easy leaving your dog behind, but she made the whole experience so much easier and stress-free. She kept us updated with tons of pictures and messages, which meant the world to us when we were really missing him. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to watch their pup!”
“Thanks to Faith we have a spot for our baby when we cant take her with. She was very helpful and gave us some great tips on order spray and leashes. Thanks so much to faith. Our baby loved her tike at her home”
“Leslee was great! Our Australian Shepherd mix doesn't always get on with other dogs, so we wanted someone without other pets, which can be hard to find sometimes. Thankfully, we found Leslee and she took great care of our girl while we're gone for a week. We got pictures almost every night, and communication with Leslee was great. If we find ourselves going on another trip where we have to leave our pup home, we'll definitely be looking to see if Leslee is available!”
“Emily did a wonderful job and provided an enjoyable and safe environment for our 4 dogs inside and outside of her home. She was also always easy to communicate with and quick to respond. She put us at ease with sending us photos of our babies at her home relaxing and playing. Would use her again.”
“Our 8 month old active puppy Anna stayed with Rachelle for 11 days and had a great time! Rachelle even took her to our vet because of a cough she developed right before we left and administered the meds needed to clear her infection. We received constant communication and pictures of Anna during our vacation to ease our minds. She loves dogs and it shows! We would not hesitate to leave Anna with Rachelle again!”
“I brought two dogs to stay for a night, and Alyssa was great with them! She was very accommodating, keeping them in a space together, which was great. She also sent pictures and told me how it was going, which is always comforting. And they were given a parting treat on their way out! Good experience overall ?”

“Bubs had a great time with Khanh! She was able to accommodate his need to physically be away from other dogs because he’s not quite old enough to get all his vaccines. He was always excited to get to daycare in the morning! She was also willing to work with me and my crazy work schedule - we’ve already booked more time with her. I trust her with my puppy. 🤗”

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, and I learned how to attentively take instructions when it came to the care of an animal. I have dealt with dogs and cats that have digestive issues, as well as knowing my way around taking care of (oral) medication. I am also used to dogs or cats that need daily exercise or some that are very energetic and need a lot of attention. Before moving to New Mexico, I had two dogs, and I was always keen on keeping them safe + well taken care of, but most importantly, checking that they were always happy and healthy. And I would be honored to take care of your pet in the same manner. Because I am searching for work, all of my time is dedicated to Rover at the moment. I am available every day of the week. I have a two bedroom apartment and two cats, so I cannot board any fur babies in my home unless you are absolutely sure they are okay around cats. On the other hand, I can guarantee that I will keep an eye on any pets I take care of in a client's home, as well as provide updates based on your preference!
“Rachelle was wonderfully attentive and extremely helpful when our family needed help with Levi. She accommodated his needs and understood our scheduling needs. Her home and pups were extremely welcoming and Levi had a delightful day being loved and cared for by Rachelle and playing with her pack!”
“Karen is a great pup sitter!! My dog responded to her right away and it was very obvious that she had a great time with Karen and her 2 furbabies. Was very comfortable leaving my pup at her home in her care.”
About: Finding the right sitter matters — especially when your dog needs more than just a walk and a bowl refill. That’s where I come in. I have over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs and behaviorally challenging cases, I’ve cared for and handled dogs with a wide range of needs. My background includes extensive volunteer work at animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience reading canine body language, managing stress, and working safely with dogs that require extra patience and structure. In 2021, I earned my Certified Dog Trainer credential through Animal Behavior College, and I continue my education through Leerburg University, focusing on canine behavior, handling, and communication. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every dog is different, and I tailor my care to what helps your dog feel safe, calm, and confident. If you’ve been told your dog is “too difficult” or “too much” for most sitters, I encourage you to reach out. I have experience with reactive, anxious, high-drive, and medically complex dogs, including administering medications and injections when needed. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to advocate for them while you’re away. For safety and individualized care, I only accept one family of dogs at a time. This allows me to focus fully on your dog’s routine, comfort, and well-being — no overcrowding, no chaos. I’d love to schedule a meet & greet so we can make sure it’s a great fit for everyone. You’ll leave knowing your dog is in capable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring hands. Thanks for stopping by my profile — I look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon. I'm hoping to make canine boarding/training my new job. I still work full time in a hybrid remote role. I will only accept boarding reservations where I know I will be home. I prefer to exercise dogs by walking them, but will do anything to keep your friends on their own routine. Anything you can share with me about your dogs preferred routine will help me keep their schedule as normal as possible.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 10 plus years. I have lots of personal experience with animals I have had over the years. I also have family and friends who have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and play with their pets. I am a big animal lover and enjoy spending time with my own pup. I have a German Rottweiler named Atlantis. So I also have experience with dogs over 100lbs. I'm currently in cosmetology school earning my license. I'm in school Tuesday through Friday. I have availability all day Monday, Saturday and Sundays. Tuesday through Friday I would be a available 6pm to 10pm l. I have a nice size yard for your fur baby to play in. A comfy couch for pup snuggles and love. I can crate if that is needed. I will also have a variety of pup toys for inside play, as well as some doggie treats.

“Glen walked our dog, Gene, for about 2 weeks while I was traveling. He was super responsive and always uploaded pics each day which I always appreciated seeing. I know Gene was very happy to have someone coming by during the day and I was too. I absolutely recommend Glen and will hope to be able to use him in the future when I am out of town!”
About: I have experience administering all kinds of medication to all ages of dogs. I love meeting your older dogs and have experience helping them navigate stairs and the home if necessary. I am patient and if your dog needs extra accommodation I am happy to provide assistance. I am currently a college student on break for the summer so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am available for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between. I understand it can be nerve racking trusting someone with your pet, but I am extremely communicative and will keep you updated as frequently as you wish. I have pet sat for multiple families who have always returned to tidy homes and happy pets. As someone who has had the privilege of loving many animals, big and small (snakes, lizards, geckos, cat, hamsters), I understand the importance of your pet.

About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. As a child, I had pet sheep, rabbits, dogs, cats, and cows. As an adult, I have always had cats. My 20 year old long hair cat just passed away in January. It was heartbreaking. I miss him dearly. We loved our guy so much. In his last 5 yrs, I spent many hours catering to his elderly issues. Medications and night yowling were issues that I happily took care of as he lived out his twilight years. I have a soft spot for all animals as they go through all stages of life :) I work from home and set my own hours, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am open to many kinds of arrangements- one time sitting, a weekly routine, daily walks, weekends, etc. I am extremely fortunate to have a flexible schedule. My teen daughter and I live in a large 4 bedroom home, so we have tons of space to accommodate furry friends who need company. We do not have a fenced in yard, but our neighborhood is great for long walks. Our neighborhood has trails through the woods and a home owner’s association that maintains the trails. We have lots of fun walking the trails. I am an avid jogger/walker. I go out everyday, regardless of the weather. I have a very active lifestyle! We recently adopted a cat, but he stays in his own area on a different level of the house. He has claimed my daughter as his and lives in her room. When dogs come to stay with us, he typically stays in his room & pups never see him, although he has made friends with some of our regularly visiting pups 😊 I have a very flexible work schedule. When I do have to be away from home for work, I am gone about 2-3 hrs at a time. My daughter is at home often and also helps with pups. She is great with animals! We both like to take frequent walks throughout the day! In my home, I have a large open floor plan with tons of windows. During the day, I like to have pups next to me in my office, but some like to lay in prime viewing area of all the windows.

We’re so grateful for her wonderful care and will absolutely be leaving Banjo with her for all our future trips. Highly recommend!!”

“It's definitely hard to trust your pet with someone you don't know. I put my trust in Madison to take care of my pup for a week and she was spectacular. I could tell she was a caring person when I dropped him off and that he would be well taken care. I got timely updates about his stay and that helped put my mind at ease. If you are on the fence about leaving your pet with someone else, take my word for it and trust Madison. I will definitely book with her again if the time ever arises.”

“Becky and Joe were great! Becky kept us updated throughout Franklin’s stay and was always willing to send photos! Their house is exceptionally dog friendly with toys, a backyard, and a crate if need be. Franklin loved snuggling, spending time outside, and playing with their other two goldens!”
“Sierra was able to accommodate boy of my sweet pups last minute. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during their 4 night stay with her. I’d send my boys back to her anytime! Definitely recommend”
