“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.”
“Becky took such great care of our pups. They really enjoyed their time and we had the peace of mind that they were well cared for during our time away. Becky even gave our pups a thank you gift that they are obsessed with 😊 thank you Becky and we cant wait till their next stay with you!”
“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”
“Savannah did an excellent job with Quantum. She spoiled him with treats and walks and we got daily photos and updates. It was great being able to know he was happy and safe while we were away.”
“Zorro had an amazing time staying with Bill! His puppy Lola kept Zorro entertained, and Bill is a wonderful photographer able to capture the two pups playing! Bill is an absolute treasure to the community.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Maellen. They took amazing care of my dog while I was away and treated them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. Kumar came back relaxed and content, which says it all! Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—I would highly recommend Maellen to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Leslie and James were so great to Angel. When I dropped him off I knew my little dog was in good hands. Leslie was very communicative on how he was doing in their home, and she even sent me pictures of him happily getting along with their sweet dogs. I am so grateful for Leslie and James taking him last minute. I know in the future we have a safe option for boarding Angel ☺️ 🐶”
“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”
“Thomas, Matthew and George cordially welcomed my fur baby into their home. I was provided with updates and photos during my pups stay. I will definitely book another stay in the near future.”
“We left our dog Ben with Jamie and Patrick for a week and he enjoyed his time with their dogs and family. He came home healthy, happy, and tired! We highly recommend Jamie and Patrick for taking care of your pups when you need to get away!”
“Pat was great with our dogs. We are very happy after their stay as they came back happy and content. She is there most of the time which is important and shows great love for all dogs. She sent pics while we were away which is also very nice. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Josie, Peter & Paco treated my pup so well while I was out of town! They were super flexible and made my dog feel right at home- I’ve really never seen him so comfortable in someone else’s space! I got plenty of updates and my dog is tuckered out from all of his playtime. Definitely will be booking with them again next time we are out of town, so glad to have found them through Rover.”
“Rebecca was great! Very caring and great at keeping us up to date on how our Lincoln was doing. He’s a 9 month old puppy and it was his first time being boarded. He was happy and healthy when returned to us!”
“Patricia is lovely. My dogs were well taken care of, and enjoyed being able to play with Patricia's little dog, Sophie, and another (small dog) client of Patricia's. I received pictures each morning of my travels, and Patricia communicated with me. Her home and yard are well kept, and provide a comfortable and safe environment for the pets. Having Patricia as my dogs' sitter took so much stress and anxiety of my shoulders while traveling. I definitely plan to use Patricia's sitter services when i travel in the future!”
“Vanessa and her family were great! They worked around my flights and sent me updates and picture of my boy. I would definitely bring him to Vanessa again!”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
“Tracy and her family were AMAZING with our dog Chip. He is a recent rescue with anxiety so when looking for a sitter, I wanted a family that he could integrate with. At Tracy's, he felt right at home and immediately bonded with their daughter. When I picked Chip up after a very long stay, he was happy and healthy. Tracy provided regular photos/updates and answered any questions that I had. I would absolutely book with Tracy and her family again. Thank you!!”

Thanks, Denise, for the daily photos, clear communication, and for being so great at what you do!”

About: I have had dogs that I trained and took care of through the first 18 years of my life before I moved here to attend UNM. I occasionally watch my neighbors dog and helped train him when they were ill-equipped to do so. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday I have class from 10am-10:50am and 4:15pm-5:00pm so I am available between those times or after 5pm. I am available all day Friday after 1pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, I have class from 9:30am-10:45am and 2:00pm-3:15pm so I am available between those times and the rest of the day after 3:15pm. On Monday I have class from 10am-10:50am, 2pm-2:50pm, and 6:20pm-9:30pm so I am available between those times. this will update every semester. I only provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits your dog has. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. That includes regular walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. While staying in your home, I treat it with respect—keeping things clean, bringing in mail/packages, and making sure everything is secure. I’m reliable with timing and always show up when expected. I also send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well and you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
“August was phenomenal, as always! We really appreciated the help making sure our girls were well taken care of while we were out of town this weekend.”
About: Though never having any of my own, many of my friends have cats and they’ve become like my own! Through experience, friends and online research, I’ve come to know how to care for fish, birds, turtles, dogs and cats. Sitting for my friends with kitties, I came to know cats and dogs are very different. Cats enjoy a more gentle demeanor though they do enjoy their enrichment time as well! I would love to play and care for your kitties as well.
About: I have 7 years experience owning my own cat, and 1 year of experience cat-sitting for family and friends. I have given cats baths (with minimal scratches), administered medication (liquid and solid), and took care of my cat after she was spayed. Whether your cat is clingy or prefers co-existing, I'd be honored to take care of them!
“Kim was very conscientious about Laylas care. I got updates daily with some pictures. I wasn't clear on some things but Kim figured it out and Layla had all she needed.”
“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”
About: As a life long animal lover, I would enjoy getting to meet your fur babies. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I love going for walks, hiking and hanging out playing fetch! I am currently a part time student that enjoys being active and caring for animals. With my spare time I have enjoyed dog sitting and house sitting. While caring for your pets, I will make sure to follow your instructions carefully. You can be sure I’ll be giving them lots of love, attention, fresh water, exercise, and stick to their feeding schedule. Communication with you, pet owner is key to understanding what your pets need’s. I love to send pictures and updates!
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Avalon
“Peter took great care of my high energy black lab Birdie. Birdie and Peter's dog Mia hit it off right from the get go. Would not hesitate to leave Birdie with Peter anytime. Planning her next visit now.”
“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.”
“Rebecca was fantastic! I'm so lucky to have found her last minute! She obviously cares about the fur (or furless 😉) babies she cares for in a sincere way and has a beautiful energy. She did a fantastic job working with my puppers hairless needs and making me feels comfortable and confident in leaving him. He had never been around other dogs before this point and I feel she accommodated him well when it was to much for him. I'm grateful she was even willing to consider those needs, work with me to meet them, and feel like he was genuinely seen and not just there. She communicated very well and I looked foward to receiving pics during my day. There was unfortunately one big down side, she's not in my town! I do hope if she ever is, she gets into contact with me so I can show her what my colleagues and I were working on and get to know her better 😉!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi there! If you are a first-time client, please take a moment to read my full profile before requesting a booking. I want to make sure my home and care style are a good fit for your pet. I’m Celine, an artist living in Albuquerque who loves helping people care for their pets. Pet sitting has been a meaningful way for me to support my art practice while spending time with wonderful animals. I grew up with dogs, had a plott hound named Lucy, and have been pet sitting for many years, first for friends and now regularly on Rover. I’m comfortable with a range of personalities and focus on creating a calm, secure environment for each dog. - I board only one dog at a time, ensuring your pet receives my full attention in a peaceful space with no other animals or children. I’m open to occasional exceptions for small dogs from the same household so they can stay together. I have a fenced yard and provide regular daily walks so your dog gets plenty of safe outdoor time and enrichment. - My partner Randy also lives with me. He is a wildland firefighter and is often away for extended periods. When he is home, he enjoys spending time with the dogs, but I am the primary caregiver and handle all daily care and communication. - I send regular updates with photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! - Policies & Requirements: I require a meet and greet for all new clients. During this meeting, I assess whether the dog is a good fit and observe how they respond to new people. Please share any behavioral concerns or important details at that time. - If a dog is extremely high energy, has never been left alone without their owner, or shows signs of anxiety, I may request a trial daycare stay before approving a longer booking or overnight stay. - Because I am often fully booked, I may schedule meet and greets during an active boarding. The dog I’m boarding is always safely separated, and I don’t allow dogs to meet or interact. - I accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis. A stay is not confirmed or reserved until it has been paid for and officially accepted through Rover. - For boarding stays, please bring everything your dog needs from home, including food, bowls, medications, toys, treats, crate (if crate trained and used to sleeping or spending time in a crate), bed, leash, and poop bags. I work from home as an artist and illustrator. My schedule is fairly flexible, which will ensure that I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Though I am at home most of the time, I do occasionally have to step out for 1-6 hours at a time for meetings and other errands. I take measures to make their time alone as stress-free as possible, providing toys and treats to occupy them. I prioritize safety through close supervision and clear communication with owners. I will take extra care to follow any instructions you have for feeding and administering medication, ensuring they get the care they need.

“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!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Avalon
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.

About: Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve completed multiple courses focused on dog behavior, handling, and training techniques. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including timid cats, high-energy cats, seniors, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! I just moved to Albuquerque from Austin Texas and I am currently looking for jobs right now so I am available anytime for your pets needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone in both your home and with your pets. I care for my own senior cat with patience, consistency, and close attention to comfort and routine, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I always take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and needs. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, medication, feeding schedules, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I treat every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home and animals are being looked after responsibly and compassionately.

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.
About: I’ve spent many years making tails wag both professionally and personally! As a seasoned groomer, I’ve mastered the art of turning “ruff” days into paw-sitive experiences. Beyond the salon, I’m a devoted pet parent who knows that every whisker, paw, and wagging tail deserves love, attention, and care. From quick drop-ins to full pet sitting, I bring a “fur-tastic” mix of expertise, patience, and heart—ensuring your pets feel pampered, safe, and happily spoiled while you’re away. I am a dedicated animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets. While I work full-time, I make it a priority to ensure that every animal I care for receives attention, love, and responsible supervision. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and companionship, and I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment during every visit. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended pet sitting, I bring reliability, empathy, and a deep appreciation for animals to every interaction. Your pets will feel loved, secure, and happy under my care. A typical day for my pets starts with a hearty breakfast followed by some scheduled outdoor time to stretch, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure they get attention, play, and care suited to their needs. The day winds down with an evening walk to burn off any extra energy, followed by a cozy cuddle session to relax and bond before bedtime. Every day is about keeping pets happy, healthy, and feeling loved from sunrise to snuggle time.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!
“Gabriella is incredibly patient and friendly, always taking the time to make sure my pup feels comfortable and happy. She goes above and beyond to provide plenty of exercise. My dog absolutely loves her walks and comes back so much more relaxed and content. Highly recommend Gabriella for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker/pet sitter! 😊”

About: I hope one day I become an experienced specialty veterinary technician. I currently work at the emergency VCA specialty center here in Albuquerque as veterinary assistance for almost 6 years now. I am also a committed part time caregiver for a family member. This gives me a good amount of free time for walking pets in the neighborhood. I Would love to discuss a schedule. I am using this app to accomplish my long term career goals of going back to school to become an RVT. I work in the ICU at the emergency VCA on Paseo del Norte 3 days a week. My weekly schedule is set and I hope to one day have more personal clients to go part time at my clinic and have more time for flexibility with personal dog sitting. I live in a small apartment right now so I'm not able to care for any pets in my own home unfortunately at this time.
About: I have always grown up around all types of animals. I am capable of giving medication, going on walks, playing, bathing, feeding and help in training in basic skills such as sitting, shanking hands,etc. Currently working part time working with service animals as a kennel tech soon to be starting dog training internship. As of right now, my hours are completely open and flexible. If I do have to go anywhere I always try to make it pet friendly so I may bring a companion along so they do not feel abandoned. However, if I am not able to bring a pet along I try to make the trip as quick as possible. There is usually always someone at home with the pets, If they ever have to be alone it is only for about an hour and a half for a doctors/ Therapy appointment. I have a loving 3 bedroom home with more then enough space to house your pet. The home offers a large back yard for the dogs to run and play. There are several dog parks and parks with in walking distance.

This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly!
