“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.”
“I thought Maellen was terrific. A few days before our cruise, Lili, our corgi had to be fitted with "the cone of shame" for a skin condition. I contacted Maellen to see if this would create a problem and offered to find another sitter but Maellen said it would be fine. She treated the skin condition twice a day took excellent care of Lili for the 7 day cruise. Lili obviously had a great time and was in excellent condition. She did not seem to be in a big hurry to leave so I know she liked it. THANK YOU, MAELLEN.”
“Jamie and Patrick were great with Ruth and Thurgood! They came back tired and happy from their vacation, it was wonderful. I’d recommend highly!”
“Bonni J was a great communicator, posted pictures and video each day. She was lovely to trust my babies with. For a second, I didn’t think they would want to come home. Wonderful job!! I will be booking her from now on.”
“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.”
“Pat was wonderful to Smokey and a great help to us. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice for our senior dog. I definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“Our dog Willow was in great hands with Doug while we took an out of state trip. Doug is a terrific communicator and very responsive. He sent photos of walks with Willow, and seemed to truly enjoy our pup. Doug was super flexible about drop off and pick up times, which we greatly appreciated!”
“Joshua has a great way about him and the big yard/environment felt right for my pup. When I was away Joshua’s photos gave me relief that my dog was having a great time. Will definitely go back!”

“Melissa and Carlos are amazing! We couldn’t have been happier with the care Watson received. We received several pictures daily throughout the week. They took him on walks and just treated him with so much love. When we picked him up they said if he wasn’t in such a loving home they would want to keep him. They went beyond out expectations. We look forward to his next stay.”
“Ben did an awesome job watching my two boxers. They can be high energy pups and that didn’t seem to bother him at all. They got lots of love, we got lots of pics and would definitely book Ben again.”
“Savannah was great with my Charli. Daily photos were sent to update me. My pooch is still a puppy and Savannah was patient, understanding and even taught Charli how to go up stairs. ?”
“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.”

“Brigit did a great job caring for our kitty. I like that she sent a picture of our cat each time she came over. I will definitely call on Brigit again when needing someone to take care of our kitty. She’s reliable and knowing she was there for us made me feel less stressed while I was away.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I have experience with both energetic dogs and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a slower pace with extra attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing plenty of affection, supervision, fresh water, exercise, and updates while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer oral medications if needed, reinforce basic training routines, and accommodate any special instructions so your pet receives the care they’re used to at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting while maintaining a reliable routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by treating every pet like my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep pets supervised, provide a clean environment, and make sure they receive attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel secure while you’re away.
“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!!”
About: I’ve had cats for many years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how different each cat’s personality can be. Through both my veterinary background and pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for cats ranging from playful kittens to seniors, including shy, fearful, and medically complex cats. I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring litter box habits, recognizing changes in behavior or appetite, and following detailed routines. Whether a cat enjoys playing, cuddling, or simply wants a quiet presence, I adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of animals within my own home ever since I became a teenager- I have experience with bathing, feeding, walking, and playing. I genuinely love all kinds of animals, but especially dogs and cats. I’m a student at CNM who is currently registered for Monday and Wednesday classes. Mondays I will still be available after 2pm, but Wednesdays I can only do nights. I make sure to keep an eye out for general well-being, checking on pets regularly. I also make sure they get what they need when they need it according to any schedules.
“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.”
About: from grumpy do-nothing cats, to adventurous outdoor sight seekers, i’ve owned and cared for all types of cats. I’m willing to meet your cat where they are, whether that’s hanging out on opposite sides of the room, to hiking around together. Don’t tell the dogs this, but cats own my heart and i’ll probably be more fond of your grumpy buddy than any man’s best friend.
“Fiery was responsive, communicative, and above all really really passionate and loving with my cat! she was punctual, and always left wonderful notes and pictures of my cat engaging in energetic play. an amazing sitter, just went above and beyond in being communicative and clearly loving and caring about animals. would definitely reccommend to others in the ABQ area! 5/5 stars.”
“Skyler was very attentive to our senior cats needs. She went out of her way to make Seeker was comfortable with her, and she was very reliable about communicating with us daily.”
About: I have been pet sitting regularly for about three years however, I live on a Ranch and have experience in animals of all sorts. I have so many barn cats and four personal house cats. I can handle from your smallest hamsters to your largest breeds. I’m your girl
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, sub-q fluids, etc.
“Sara was great with our anxious cat! She did a lot to make him feel comfortable, he has a problem with strangers but took treats from her and even ate while she was in the house - a big deal for him!”
About: I have experience with everything from fiesty kittens up to grumpy old cats. I enjoy getting to know cats as each cat has their own personality and preferences. Recently, I have been helping a 21 year old cat, and with regular brushing and social interaction, he has really improved his own grooming and behavior.

I offer more than just sitting; I provide a tail-wagging experience filled with love, attention, and playful adventures. With a keen eye for each pup's needs and a passion for creating a safe and joyful environment. I'll ensure your dog feels right at home when you can't be there. Let's make their time away from home an unforgettable tail-wagging adventure! Jumping into experience and home life: I have taken care of pets, dogs specifically, since I was 9 years old. I am currently a stay at home mommy to my son (3 years old) and to our 3 bundles of joy. I love animals so much. They are more than just a pet or an animal, they are family. I will take care of yours with soft and gentle arms, as if they were my own. I do not professionally train, although both of my dogs are very good at what I have taught, (tricks and such). I also have no problems administering medications. I want to provide you a stress free getaway while know your babies are safe and sound. I will always send daily photos and/or videos of how your babies are adjusting to their stay. Our household is me, my fiance, our son and our three dogs. All of which will care for your babies just as much. I love that Rover allows us to provide personable stays to allow 1x1 tailored time with your pet that eases a lot of stress for everyone. I own an at home dog grooming kit which includes a dog vacuum that combs them while taking out the excess fur. Let me know if you need any deshedding services! My availability is totally available everyday! I work from home so I’m here on call for sure! If you are in need of drop-in visits, my fiance does come along for meet and greets and occasional visits as well. In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets. This includes maintaining a consistent feeding and exercise schedule tailored to each pets needs. I ensure plenty of playtime and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. Additionally, I maintain cleanliness by regularly cleaning feeding areas, litter boxes, and any pet messes promptly. Above all, I provide affectionate companionship and attentive care to make sure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
“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.”
“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.”
“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”
“FIRST TIME USING THEM ….. AND THEY WERE GREAT SITTERS ….WILL USE AGIAN …. Love that they kept us informed and updated of there stay 5stars all day long …. Love Thor and Red”

Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”
“Christina is a very thoughtful sitter! She has a great set up. Extra dog crates, a gate before the door so no one runs out, covered couch she lets the dogs up on, and a good little yard. My dog had a blast playing with her and other dog she was watching. We were delayed in our travels and she was very flexible! Told me not to rush and sent a ton of pictures letting me know Lyra was having a good time. She even let me book last minute with a quick meet and greet the night before. Thanks Christina!”
