“Bonni took great care of my 15-pound dog and she sent me several cute pictures. Bonni also graciously refunded a portion of my booking fee when I decided, with short notice, to bring my dog a day later than I originally planned. Overall, great experience and I knew my dog was in good hands so I didn't have to worry during my trip. Bonni also did a meet-and-greet before the stay so that my dog would be familiar with her home.”
“It is so nice to be able to be away from our boy and know that he is being well-taken care of. We are blessed to have Cecilia and Dan love and care for our boy. They are wonderful!!!”
“Our dog Darcey appears to have really enjoyed himself he seemed to not want to come home. He even learned to swim which he never did before. I would definitely book again as he was well taken care of and I believe he really enjoyed himself.”
“I have left my pup with Gavin many times. Gavin is very easy to work with, and is so good with my dog who is always happy to go to Gavin's home. Highly recommend.”
“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”
“Celine was awesome! She took awesome care of our baby and she communicated with us every day. Our dog was very well taken care for and I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Pat has been watching Beau during the daytime for some time now and recently we left him a 4 over nights for the first time. We had no worries leaving him with Pat and felt assured he would be well taken care of. Beau is always happy and excited to see Pat which makes us happy. Pat sent us several updates during his stay and anytime that I asked how beau was doing, Pat would quickly respond. In one of the photo updates we noticed Beau had an additional dog tag, which we came to find out was Pat's contact information. Small details like that confirm that Pat really cares for Beau.”
“Second time staying with them and we are just as happy as the first time! Our kitty was well taken and care of and clearly loved from all the picture updates we got. She honestly didn’t want to come home! We travel a lot and will definitely book again!”
“Patricia does a great job caring for my two small dogs. One of my dogs recently had a tummy issue, and was still weaning back to kibble from a chicken & rice diet when they went to Patricia's. Patricia was willing to follow the schedule I provided, and mix my dog's kibble with chicken and rice to finish weaning her back to pure kibble. My dogs get along with Patricia's small dog, Sophie, and enjoy their surroundings during their stay (Patricia has a beautiful patio and spends time with them outside). They always come back happy and healthy. Patricia is a great sitter!”
“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”
“I absolutely recommend Bill to care for your pup. My guy loved his stay with Bill and his family. I was a nervous mom dropping her boy off, but Bill made the drop-off smooth. I received daily pictures and knew my dog was being well taken care of, even a little spoiled. Thanks Bill!”
“Leslie & James takes great care of my standard poodle Zulu when I travel with updates of photos and videos. They are very friendly, courteous and accommodating if I have to change my pick ups if I’m delayed at the airport, etc.”
“Highly, highly recommend Rosalia. She provided great daily updates with multiple photos, and I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable in all of them. We also always have a sense of how things went when we pick him up, and that also made it clear that he'd enjoyed Rosalia's! Couldn't have been more perfect. She also has a very secure setup at her home, so, even though our dog has tried to make a run for it in the past due to his high prey drive, we didn't worry about that one bit when he was with Rosalia!”
“Josh was very positive in our dealings and made both our dog Oreo and ourselves extremely confortable. We are looking forward to more bookings with Josh in the future.”
“Chad was amazing with Dakota. We were skeptical at first because this was our first time having to leave our fur baby somewhere. Chad was responsive and caring. Definitely booking with him next time.”
“Doug was so easy to work with and accommodating. My dogs had a lovely time with him. Even though one of my girls got sick with tummy troubles a couple of days before the stay, he agreed to still watch all 3. Stellar experience overall”

“Lauren was amazing. She came to my house beforehand to meet my cat, Levi, and to learn where his food, litterbox and supplies were stored. My cat took to her right away, and I felt very confident to leave him in her care. She was dependable and shared photos of him during every visit--usually in her lap or playing! I will definitely book her again when I'm out of town.”
“Leah was fantastic! Super communicative and responsive, incredibly sweet to our two cats and accommodating of their needs, and provided us with daily updates, photos & videos which was so lovely while we were away. She even vacuumed around the little boxes before we got home, which was above Ana beyond. We’d absolutely rebook with Leah again.”
“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She was here when she said she would be. Very prompt which was important due to the fact that our cat Speedy needs his meds at the same time each day. She cleaned up after feedings of wet food and sent pix of our boys, which was really nice to receive. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family. Thank you Amanda! ;o)”
“Highly, highly recommend! Denise is a caring animal lover with heaps of experience from all her work at the animal humane. My rescue felt comfortable with her very quickly and was well cared for during the week+ that I was away. On top of that, my house was in great condition when I got back. Thanks, Denise, for the daily photos, clear communication, and for being so great at what you do!”
About: I have loved cats since my childhood and have several of my own. I have cared for cats of all ages and sizes, the youngest being 2 weeks old and the oldest being 23 years old. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with responsibilities such as administering medications, special diets, etc.
“Hannah went above and beyond taking care of my cat Fidel. She was constantly giving me updates ans she was super responsive when I had questions. I could see that she truly cared about my fur baby. She helped me with my packages and even took the trash out with my ask. I highly recommend her services.”
“Jennifer is dependable, reliable, and professional. Felix really likes her and she is good with him and to him. Jennifer left our home neat and cleaned up (cat dishes, litter box etc) and followed all instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer and Felix will see her again, I am am sure! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Brigit was awesome and lovely! Very communicative and always answered questions! Made our trip so much less stressful! Will definitely ask her to watch our babies again!”
“Angela is a delight. She spends a lot of time with each pet, doing things that make each one feel comfortable and seen. She even cozied up on the floor to make a newer member of the pet family feel like home. She also sends tons of pictures, which is great! I love seeing them being well taken care of. Definitely will ask to help again in the future.”
“Lucy was awesome! We loved the daily photos and knowing that our cats were in great hands. Lucy is super responsive and responsible and we returned home to happy kitties and a clean and tidy apartment. Would 1000% hire Lucy again!”
“Leslie was fantastic with our two cats! We are full time travelers and our situation is a little strange (she had to visit our RV park to feed them) but she was amazing. She sent pictures of the cats each day so we knew they were happy and safe. Would definitely have her watch our cats again.”
“As always, I had a wonderful experience with Celine. She was professional, caring, and attentive to my pet’s needs. I appreciated her regular updates. My cats were happy and relaxed upon my return. I highly recommend her”
“Brenna did a wonderful job of watching over our kitty, Asla! She was quick to respond to my messages and sent us photos of our cat when she went to drop by. Not only that, but when we returned from our vacation she had left a little checklist of all the tasks she had done while we were gone and left a cute note along with it! I highly recommend Brenna if you need a Rover to drop in, she was amazing! For the record - I think it’s worth stating that our cat is VERY afraid around strangers at first but opened up to Brenna immediately :)”
“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”
“Jessica is so flexible with the schedule . She was patient with one of our kitties who is bit territorial towards her . She also helped out with watering the indoor plants.”

“Lauren was great. She greeted us on arrival and introduced her dog to ours. She kept us updated during the day by sending us photos of how our pup was doing. We would definitely use Lauren again when visiting Albuquerque.”
“Jamie was very friendly and communicated with me during the stay. She has young kids in the home for playtime with my small dog along with a friendly poodle of her own.”
“Cecilia and family were very kind and understanding of Buffalo’s insecurity being left behind. Her dogs were very kind with my dog and had no issues. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures that reassured me that Buffalo was comfortable and safe.”
“Bonni was good with our little Havanese dog. I liked the yard area including some grass. Bonni was accommodating to our schedule of daytime/evening schedules. We took our dog with us at night. Thanks Bonni!”
“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”
“Peter did a great job with our dog despite the challenges that a young dog brings. He was extremely professional and took care of our dog like his own. We received updates and photos throughout the day which was great as well. He has a real passion for dogs and is a caring & trustworthy person. Thanks again!”
“Mike was an incredible sitter. My little guy, Walter, took to him because he was so friendly. He gave me updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was walked, fed, and well loved. Would recommend and work with Mike again!”
“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”
“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”
“Celine was great with our Belgian Malinois for a daycare visit. She is calm, organized, and quick to respond to questions. Jana immediately seemed to feel comfortable with her and we will definitely book with her again.”
“Diane was so great with our senior rescue poodle. She looked happy in the photos she sent. Tail was wagging when we picked up and she got lots of snuggles. We will be using her again!”
“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”
“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”
“Tracy was incredibly kind and caring with our fur baby, she was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during her stay. Also super flexible! Our pup loved Tracy!”
“Julia is a sweetheart! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with our drop off. She made sure to send me updates and pictures through the day. I highly recommend booking with her!!”
“Rob was very friendly, helpful and accommodating, and our dog Laifu was so happy he didn’t seem to want to leave. Will call Rob next time we need help in Albuquerque”

“Leah is fantastic with Dobby. Our first meet and greet last month went very well with my normally reactive dog. But once Dobby sensed Leah’s energy - kind and safe - he had trust in her. He is excited when he see’s Leah and they have really good walks where his tongue is hanging out. We are grateful to have Leah help out with walking Dobby each week!”
“Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!”
About: I've had large dogs since I was born and when I was young I remember going outside and feeding them with my mom and giving them treats. Now I have two small dogs I've had for 10 years that I trained myself, they know pretty much every basic command plus some that are more advanced. I also groom them myself such as brushing and bathing. I love walking my dogs and getting out of the house and getting fresh air, it always tires them out so they can sleep throughout the night. I'm available full time since I left Amazon in Feb. I will be able to give dogs or cats my full attention all day and night. I can take them out for walks or even give them outdoor time in my yard. I'm new to pet sitting in-home but I'm sure I'll learn along the way. I have a fenced yard they can play in and a park is close by to play at. I don't crate my pets but I can crate yours if needed.
“Greg had worked with my dog a year and a half ago, and it was a very good experience. Sadly, that dog passed away but now I have a new dog and I reached out to Greg to see if he could help me get Scooby some extra exercise. He jumped right back in and is helping me and Scooby get off to a good start from the shelter! Greg is great with dogs, and very respectful when it comes to scheduling and communication”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love. I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.
“Hector has been a fantastic dog walker for Dolly. She adores him and looks forward to their walks. Hector is consistently prompt and flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate even on busy days. Highly recommend his services! He is reliable, caring, and a great fit for Dolly!”
About: I’ve house sited for friends and neighbors pets. I love all animals since I was little and I know it gets hard when people are busy to care for pets and I would love to help I’m currently working full time but I’m off on weekends and can even fit time to visit after work hours if needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule so anything that works around your schedule as well I will always provide a safe environment for all animals. I will respect their environment and love and play with them. Make sure they feel safe as well
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7 years. I love house sitting and spending time cuddling with pups or playing outside with them. I have experience giving elder dogs medications or following detailed care instructions. I have a full-time job and work in the office Monday through Thursday. Otherwise, I’m available to be with your pup at home taking care of them. I’m familiar with crate training, as I crate my own dogs when I’m gone. I’m always happy to a walk through of how to lock things up and set up things to keep your fur babies safe. For walking, I’ve used harnesses and gentle leads.
“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”
About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs since I 10. Anytime they went out of town, they called me to make sure to feed them or bring them over to my house while their gone. I work part time as server and the rest of the time I work and go to school at home, leaving me with plenty of time to be your furry friends companion. I have a little dog park at my apartment, as well as plenty of space to walk the dogs around my building. I also offer to take care of your animals at your home if that’s what you prefer.
“Rachel is prompt and easy to talk to. She pays attention and was really great with our dogs, who are a handful to walk. We will be booking her for pet sitting this month for sure.”
“Alyssa does a great job with my Bailey girl. She takes multiple pictures, let's me know how Baikey was from start to finish, if there is anything I should check when I get home. And most importantly Bailey loves when she comes over.”
“Gavin was awesome. Very flexible even with my moving process to a new home. Kind man who always sent me 2-3 photos of my dog to reassure me he was with him each day and walked him a good distance for having only 30vminutes to do so. Thanks Gavin!”

“Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.”
