Personalized care for your dog or cat - Carmel

Highly-rated overnight sitters - Carmel
“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”

“Rosalia was amazing! She kept me updated all day with messages & tons of cute pictures. My dog looked happy and loved all the cuddles given to her. Her dog Kiki was such a good girl too, she didn't mind sharing the attention. If I lived in Albuquerque, I'd totally book Rosalia everytime!”

“I just want to give a big thank you to Chad for accepting my last-minute request to watch my dog, Luna. It meant so much to know she was in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate your time and the care you gave her. Thank you again for being available.”

“Josie, Pete & Paco are the best crew to take care of your pup! Josie always sends great updates and pics & you can tell how much she and her husband really care for your dog. We’ve had 2 dogs stay with Josie and I’d highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to have a great time while they’re away!”

“Cecilia is a wonderful caretaker for my dog Baldr, I have left him with her twice. She is very communicative and kind and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved older dog with her.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”

“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”

“Doug did a great job taking care of my German Shepherd's. I have never used this app before and he eased my mind by sending me updates and pictures. The dogs came back home, healthy, and happy.”

“A great sitter for our pup! She boarded with Onrae for 8 nights and was well cared for during her stay! We received pix and videos often while we were gone, which was reassuring for us as we had not left her before. Cali says, "Thanks, Onrae, for the great care!!"”

“This is my first time using Rover. Safe to say Preston had a great time! He slept all day when I picked him up to take him home. I was very anxious about using Rover for the first time, but Bonni kept me updated with pictures every day and is very accommodating. Highly recommend.”

“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”

“The pups LOVED Anne and can hardly wait to go back! You can tell she loves dogs. We were in ABQ for the Balloon Fiesta and realized that I had left the dog's bag with their food and food bowls in it at home when I went to drop off the pups. She had spare food for them to eat and even a spare leash to take Penny and Baxter for a walk, because I forgot that, too! First time ever I have done that, but Anne is prepared for every catastrophe a pet owner could have, with multiple leashes, bowls, and yes, even food available for pets. He house is like a luxury pet resort. Makes me wish I was a dog so I could have stayed with her!”

“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

“Rita is absolutely amazing! Hands down, the best Rover dog sitter around that we have had look after our dogs. She cared for our dogs like they were her own. With daily updates and pictures, my dogs always looked like they're were having the best time. Rita walked them, spoiled them, and loved on them. She took our dogs to the dog bakery to get treats because one of our dogs had a birthday while we were gone. It was precious seeing pictures and knowing that she was spoiled on her special day. Again, Rita was so good with our girls. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Liz was so great caring for our dog for 4 days! She was responsive, sent me lots of pictures and details about his day and genuinely seemed to care and love him. I will definitely use her again if we need a pet sitter”

“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”

“We are thrilled to have found Shell! I truly appreciate that she does a meet and greet and lets us know if the dogs would be a good fit or not. It shows me that she truly cares about the pups and their well being. She treated my dogs like family—making sure they were well-fed and exercised. I got photos and messages that showed just how comfortable and content they were; one even made a best friend! Both the dogs came home exhausted which shows us how great of a time they had. I think they were a little sad when they came back home because at Shells they got to play 24/7! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to watch your pets, look no further. I will 100% book Shell again without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my pups, we will see you again soon!”

Finally I found Candice. Candice explained everything from the beginning to the end. We had a meet and great with Candice. She is a very sweet and loving person. I feel like we struck gold with her. She stayed in communication with us the entire time she was sitting out dog. She sent us pictures and even went above and beyond.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Carmel
“I was visiting town and needed a last-minute dog daycare option, and she was fantastic. She was very responsive and took the time to meet me and my pup beforehand, which made me feel comfortable right away. My pup was tired from the day and all the activities, but she handled her with both care and confidence. She quickly became part of the pack, played with the other dogs, and came back happily exhausted. She also sent photos and text updates, which I really appreciated. I especially liked how attentive she was with my pup’s prescribed medication. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was safe, cared for, and having a great time while I was away. Highly recommend!”

“Esperita is perfect for my dog Molly! Molly is a Tijuana Rescue Cockapoo so she can be wary of new people and places and needs understanding and patience. Esperita took the time Molly needs and now they are fast friends! I am so lucky to have found her! I will be a regular user!!!”

“Holly and Robert were fantastic! They responded quickly, took him last minute and they had other dogs that my dog loved playing with. I will be going to them again.”

“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”

“Wonderful communication. Stella is thriving in environment. Really helping her to keep up her dog socialization and to get more comfortable with humans.”

“Charles was extremely professional and responsible and he took EXCELLENT care of my lab, Tamale, with the help of his dog, Shiso. He sent regular pictures of their walks, the dogs playing together in the yard together, cuddling for naps, and having meals and snacks- it was obvious she was in good hands. Tamale had a wonderful time, was thoroughly exhausted and most importantly, she was VERY well cared for. I felt so fortunate to find such a warm, wonderful home in my neighborhood with a kind human and his family to look after my girl while I worked and my husband was out of town. She already misses her new friends. Thanks again, Charles! We will absolutely be booking again.”

About: I love all dogs of all breeds, I have taken care of all sizes and breeds for 5 years on and off. Animals are life. I'm currently working at home.

I can be home at all times if needed for any reasons. My 2 dogs are very friendly.

We are a loving home where are pets are part of the family.
“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”


About: I mostly have experience with medium to larger dogs. I love going on walks so I will take pets along for the journey. I grew up with bulldogs and I’ve personally owned German Shepards and Huskies. I am currently in between jobs and preparing for a certification test for signed language interpreting. I have plenty of free time for pets and love to get out and about like going for walks, hikes and enjoying the sun. I have a private small patio with many dogs parks in my apartment complex. Also close to my apartment is a golf course that is a clear and safe walk for fur babies. I can crate your dog if needed (: they are allowed on furniture to make them feel like home!
“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.”

“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”

“We are delighted with the care Peter provided Oliver. Oliver loved going to doggie daycare at Peter’s, in particular all of the outings he went on. We will definitely call on Peter to watch Oliver in the future. Thank you.”

“Mabel was very happy to be left with Onrae for a few hours, which isn't always the case with sitters. But dogs are a good judge of character, right? All went well and Onrae was an excellent communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”

“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”

“Kathryn was punctual, actually arrived a couple of minutes early, which was great. She handled our high energy GSP puppy very well! We will contact her again! Thanks Kathryn!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and sitter! Jenny did drop-in visits for our dogs while we were out of town, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely cares about animals. She made sure our dogs were well fed, kept their water bowls full, and took them on twice-daily walks. Most importantly, she made sure they weren’t lonely. She even squeezed in extra visits in her busy schedule just to give them more company and attention, which meant so much to us. She is also fantastic with communication. She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved her and always looked forward to seeing her. They would wait excitedly for her visits! It was obvious they felt comfortable and happy in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to caring for their pets.”

“Elena is fantastic! Gunner and Izzy both absolutely love her already! I was concerned initially about having a stranger in my house when no one is home but, those feelings quicklys dissolved when I saw how amazing she was, and how quickly they took to her. I would highly recommend her to eveyone!”


“Patricia is great and so kind!! We had a crisis over a missing dog leash and she was so flexible and relaxed and made do with what she had. We will be booking with her again!!”


“Rose helped me out in a pinch with my puppy Chase. Rose responded promptly to the request, came to meet us and receive instructions. Rose was very kind, calm and loving with Chase. He loved her and I would absolutely use her again! Thanks!”

About: I have past experience in administering medicine including insulin and pills, as well as cleaning litter boxes, picking up dog poop, and feeding bearded dragons. I'm a college student working at a restaurant, but I am available throughout the day between school and work, and at nights. Overall pet sitting fits into my schedule just as well as any average person. I have a cat in my home who is vaccinated and well cared for, so if a pet is coming to my home it must be OK around cats, my cat is also used to dogs and other animals, although I would prefer to watch animals at their house. I care for them by feeding them according to their schedule, always providing fresh water, and taking them on any necessary walks, or runs, and of course cleaning up the poop or puke that occurs.
“If you need assistance with your animal, Heaven is an awesome choice. My dog actually miss her when he thinks she should be there to take him for his walk. I believe it is wonderful the way she bonds with her human and animal clientele.”

They all have arthritis and are very old so I’m not able to take them out for long walks, but I do push them in a wagon so they can get fresh air! One of my senior citizens is blind and deaf so having another dog around him might spook him, but I can watch the home and pet for you!😆❤️

About: I grew up with dogs (mostly German shepherds with the golden retriever or terrier thrown in there). My husband is not a dog person, but I love them so I'm hoping to be able to get my dog fix by helping people who find themselves away from their fur babies for extended periods. I will play with and love on your dog while they enjoy the comfort of being in a familiar environment. I will give your dog the same level of care that I would expect for my own child. My kids are getting more independent, leaving me with lots of time during the day to play with your pups! I am an avid runner and would love to give your fur babies lots of love and exercise. I am comfortable following the instructions you leave to the letter. I am calm and friendly, letting animals decide how they feel about me in their own time. One of my highest goals is to build trust with your dog and you.

About: I love dogs so much and have had at least one for my whole life (big and small)! Currently I’m a college student and I wanna help out all the puppies while I can’t have my own!

I am flexible, dependable, and committed to providing quality care and attention for every pet I work with. I provide attentive and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s specific needs and owner instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being at all times. While I do not crate my own pets, I am comfortable crating dogs if requested by the owner. Pets are fed on their regular schedule, always have access to fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and treats when permitted
About: I’ve taken care of my senior dog for four years before she passed away. This includes feeding, bathing, brushing, meeting her potty needs and walking. I also pet sit for two dogs when their owner is out of town. I work for a restaurant during the morning or afternoon shift for roughly 6 hours. I can work in between those times and I only have one shift a day. (Some days are completely open!) I am very good about respecting spaces and following directions. I usually walk dogs twice a day around the neighborhood; however, I will follow whatever directions are given. I love giving attention to pets, especially dogs that need some extra care. Adopting my dog as a senior gave me a special love for all senior dogs!

“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”

“I just want to give a big thank you to Chad for accepting my last-minute request to watch my dog, Luna. It meant so much to know she was in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate your time and the care you gave her. Thank you again for being available.”

“Cecilia is a wonderful caretaker for my dog Baldr, I have left him with her twice. She is very communicative and kind and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved older dog with her.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”

“Doug did a great job taking care of my German Shepherd's. I have never used this app before and he eased my mind by sending me updates and pictures. The dogs came back home, healthy, and happy.”

“A great sitter for our pup! She boarded with Onrae for 8 nights and was well cared for during her stay! We received pix and videos often while we were gone, which was reassuring for us as we had not left her before. Cali says, "Thanks, Onrae, for the great care!!"”

“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”

“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”

“Rita is absolutely amazing! Hands down, the best Rover dog sitter around that we have had look after our dogs. She cared for our dogs like they were her own. With daily updates and pictures, my dogs always looked like they're were having the best time. Rita walked them, spoiled them, and loved on them. She took our dogs to the dog bakery to get treats because one of our dogs had a birthday while we were gone. It was precious seeing pictures and knowing that she was spoiled on her special day. Again, Rita was so good with our girls. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”

“We are thrilled to have found Shell! I truly appreciate that she does a meet and greet and lets us know if the dogs would be a good fit or not. It shows me that she truly cares about the pups and their well being. She treated my dogs like family—making sure they were well-fed and exercised. I got photos and messages that showed just how comfortable and content they were; one even made a best friend! Both the dogs came home exhausted which shows us how great of a time they had. I think they were a little sad when they came back home because at Shells they got to play 24/7! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring to watch your pets, look no further. I will 100% book Shell again without hesitation. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my pups, we will see you again soon!”

“Brandi was nice!! Also very flexible for my situation that happened when meeting, which I was Grateful for.. She replied to my messages, and gave me an update on how My dog was settling in .. it was a very good experience..”

“Can't say enough about these guys. When our dogs hear Patrick pulling into the driveway for pickup, they grab their leashes and start jumping around and barking with excitement. I feel confident that when they leave the house that they are always well cared for. If I could leave 6 stars I would. I won't go anywhere else.”

“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”

“Sofie was the best! From our first communications, to the met and greet, to the end of the stay, she was flexible and friendly. I had no reservations about leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures everyday with a little update that confirmed she knew our dogs habits. Would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again myself!”

“Kate was great! Our last sitter moved out of Albuquerque and Kate was able to watch our Gambit on short notice. She took great care of him and sent pics. Thank you, Kate! 🐾❤️”

“My dog and I met Cindy and her dog before we boarded with her for the first time. It was apparent right away that she was capable of providing a good, caring home environment for my dog. I felt very comfortabke knowing he would be in the best place away from home. My 12 year old dog takes daily meds that were adminustered properly. He ate his meals,was abke to go into the yard and enjoyed her glass front door to look out. I highly recommend Cindy as a dog sitter and have booked our next visit She is the type of person you can feel confident leaving your beloved pets with.”

“Crystal was amazing! She was extremely quick to communicate and gave me updates throughout Emma‘s stay with her. Emma almost didn’t wanna leave ! Would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”

“Savannah was amazing! Extremely communicative radically from the Dan. Super thankful she was able to take care of Joey while on vacation! Would highly recommend and would absolutely go to again!”
