“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.”
“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!”
“Maellen took wonderful care of our pup. She kept us updated every with pictures and even videos, accommodated all of Chula's needs, and played with her and took her for walks. We couldn't have asked for a better or more understanding person to take care of Chula.”
“Mark C. gave our dog lots of attention and love. He only takes care of one dog at a time. We received lots of photos and updates. Our dog spent five nights with Mark and I would recommend Mark.”
“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.”
“Courtnay did a great job with my two frenchies. Always sent pics and videos to keep me up to date and my pups seemed very happy and looked like they had a good job.”
“Michael is the greatest. He has really been wonderful keeping my pup happy. I receive texts and pictures everyday and he always updates me on how my dog is doing. I highly recommend Michael as a sitter. My dog took to him right away that's just the kind of person he is.”
“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.”
“Sophie is so nice, gentle, accommodating, & a wonderful pup care-giver. Plus she sent an update and cute photos every day. We couldn't ask for anything more & will definitely use her again if she is available.”
“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”
“Holly and Robert took excellent care of Bailey and we really appreciated their flexibility with drop off and pick up times. They also provided updates on how she adjusted to her new environment. We will use them again in the future.”
“My dog Capri had a great time with Melissa and was very well taken care of! Melissa is very professional and attuned to dogs and their needs. I trusted her immediately. She was very communicative and sent lots of pics. I would definitely use her services again!”
About: I have lived with at least 2 dogs in my household for the past 20 years. Providing them with the opportunities to live fulfilling and healthy lives has been my priority. Although I am their caregiver, I consider them also to be my teachers. Learning how to communicate with them is the best way to ensure they are happy and calm, and that they feel safe. I am currently retired and spend quite a bit of time at the dog park. My dog and I are mostly inseparable. I take him with me to run errands when I can. It isn't always practical and so he minds the house when I am away. Barney is my only companion, and, even though I'm kind of a loner, Barney is NOT. He is extremely friendly and social and craves the company of other dog;, that factors into my decision to care for other dogs in my home. Barney will help me keep your dog comfortable and happy while in our care. We have a fenced back yard (4 foot). The surrounding properties have no dogs at this time. If your dog can jump a 4 foot fence, this may not be the safest home for him or her.
“Marissa has watched Hera 3 times now and it has always gone great, my dog always seems to have lots of fun with hers. Marrisa has been very accommodating with last minute plans of mine or changes to my schedule and I know my dog is happy and safe with her. I have no doubt I’ll be contacting her again the next time I go away without my dog.”
“Anne took great care of our dog on an extended stay. She kept in contact with us and sent lots of pictures. He had as much fun on his vacation as we did on ours! We will definitely use her again.”

“Emily is very responsible, timely and dependable. I'm super happy she could help me with my kitty. My cat liked her a lot. She followed my instructions exactly. I felt really good about her care and plan to ask for help again in the future.”
“Tabatha is such a wonderful Pet sitter! We were gone for an extended weekend and Tabatha did an amazing job of caring for our cats, giving one of my cats meds twice a day, playing with them, and making sure they were safe and loved. I would highly recommend Tabatha to anyone:):)”
“Tawnia is truly amazing, every time she visits I know my cat is well taken care of. She leaves the place exactly how I left it and gives me such a great update every day of how he is doing.”
“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”
“August did a wonderful job caring for our girls again! They got lots of love while we were gone, which makes it easier to travel knowing they are in good hands.”
“Alexis did a fantastic job taking care of our cats when we were camping. She gave them individual attention as well as feeding them and cleaning the litter box. She even ran a vacuum over our carpet so it was cleaner than when we left!”
“Cristina did a lovely job looking after our two kitties twice a day while we were gone for a few days. She communicated well and was very conscientious in the tasks that we requested. We will definitely be calling on her pet sitting services again.”
“Leah is our go-to sitter!! She is reliable, communicative, and so sweet to our fur family. We appreciate her pictures, videos, and diligent care of our three very charismatic kitties. Thanks Leah!! 😻”
“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”
“Levi was wonderful. He is prompt to answer messages, quick to understand complex care instructions, and delivers exactly as promised. He pictures with each visit and our cats are happy! 🐱”
“Eden was awesome! She did a great job taking care of my cats. She was also very gracious when one of them decided to be a handful. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Hossanna was very caring of the old rescue kitty I'm rehabbing. She was able to send me pictures of her on each of her drop-in visits which was very reassuring. This kitty hides from most people so I can tell she has an authentic rapport with animals. Hossanna always responded to texts promptly and was very upbeat and friendly. I really appreciated all her help and trust her completely to care for animals.”
“Marilee is absolutely wonderful and our two cats obviously adore her. She was diligent in her care of them and in providing updates. She fed them, scooped litter boxes, and played with them. I had forgotten a couple of small details before leaving and she reassured me that she would take care of things. She has a great sense of humor, puts out really good vibes, and is like the good neighbor you wish you had. Marilee made me feel confident that everyone and everything would be fine while we were away, and it was! I will definitely book with Marilee again.”
“Heaven did a great job taking care of my two cats! She did everything I asked of her and more. She was very gentle and interactive with them thus they liked her and they are very selective about who they’ll interact with. I would definitely request her again and highly recommend!”
“Robert and Holly did a wonderful job pet sitting for our diabetic cat Hank. We really appreciated the updates and pictures they provided at every visit and their attentiveness to his care and administration of his insulin. We will definitely calling on them again next time we need a sitter for Hank or our pup Murphy. Thank you!”
“Stacy is a wonderful care giver to my two older cats who I have worked with several times over the past year. She is a great communicator and very trustworthy. I highly recommend and would gladly work with her again in the future. Thank you for all your great care, Stacy!”

“Kind, patient, helpful, friendly, professional… Those are just some of the words I would use to describe Holly and Robert. I’m very thankful for their help with my standard poodle.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Mark, did an amazing job with our first timers. He checked with us frequently and it seemed our dogs loved it and where comfortable with him. For our dogs, it was there first time at another persons home and for us as well. Marks, patience was and understanding was greatly appreciated.”

“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”
About: Welcome to personalized care for your beloved furry friends! As a dedicated dog sitter (or cats,bunny,guinea pigs, birds, you name it!) 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.
“Melinda was very interested in getting to know our dog. She asked a lot of questions about his behavior, his personality, his normal day, etc. She was very concerned about making our dog feel like he was as much at home as possible. Peso seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We would definitively recommend Melinda for dog sitting. She was quick to respond to messages, and she sent us a picture of Peso. We would use Melinda again if we are visiting Albuquerque in the future.”
“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
About: I have a true passion for caring for pets and always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for each one. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and respect for every pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a playful dog or an independent cat, they always receive love, personalized care, and genuine companionship—because to me, they’re not just pets, they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I carefully organize my time to ensure punctual feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and quality time with each pet. I am committed to maintaining clear and consistent communication with pet owners and to following all care instructions closely. Responsibility and consistency are very important to me, and I always prioritize the well-being, safety, and peace of mind of the pets in my care. When I care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I carefully follow their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, hygiene, and rest. I provide a clean, calm, and well-supervised environment at all times. I also pay close attention to their behavior and emotional needs, offering companionship, affection, and patience. I always respect the owners’ instructions and maintain clear communication so they feel at ease while they’re away.

About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
“Put all your trust in Malcolm! My pup loves his visits from him! He goes above and beyond with his care and playtime. Takes lots of photos and gives plenty of updates. Follows all special care instructions to a T! Malcom’s availability is great and he flows with changes to the schedule! A huge help!”

“Eden has been walking our Australian cattle dog for over a year, we couldn’t be happier. Our Holly is a bit of a pill at times, but Eden loves her and works well with her. She isn’t just our dog walker, she has become a friend. Thanks, Ellen F.”
“My dog just keeps getting better. I say that every week but it's true. She is much more attentive and walks next to me with a loose leash and as much less reactive to other dogs.”
“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.”

I am a respectful, polite, conscientious person. I will make sure your pet is properly taken care of and leave your home the exact same way it was when I arrive.
