About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since 5 years old. Grooming, walking, cleaning up after them and loving them. I have added birds, ferrets, and turtles to my pets in my adulthood. I foster neonatal kittens. I have trained many dogs and have shown them in obedience. I have had elderly dogs and cats and have helped them through their needs in old age. I love to throw the ball for your dog, play with cats or just sit and pet them, make sure they have their food on time and always have water. I can walk you dog around the block or for 5 miles. I am very experienced in reactive dogs and walking them. I have had large and small dogs. My last two dogs were Dobermans. I will be reliable and follow your instructions. I am a retired Occupational Therapist and have recently lost my sweet friend and companion, my dog Scarlet. I have time now to help others out who need someone to provide love and care to their pet. I am looking to care for your pet in your home. I may, be able to take a cat or dog into my home sometimes, but I have chickens in my backyard so it is not available. At your home I can stay overnight if necessary or just come and care for your pet in the comfort they are used to. I am reliable and trustworthy and will give all the love and care your pet needs and wants.
“Jennifer did an excellent job - she provided wonderful updates and photos each day, everything was in great shape when we returned, and our cats seemed relaxed and well taken care of. She also went above and beyond in doing things we didn’t request (i.e., taking out some trash). I would definitely recommend her and work with her again!”
“Mira did an amazing job taking care of my cat Malcolm while I was away! She is so kind and really cared about Malcolm's routines. She provided detailed and thoughtful updates and photos for each visit. She was able to administer eye drops for my cat which really put my mind at ease! Thank you so much, Mira!”
“Delena took such good care of my cat while I was away. She sent me regular updates and sent photos with each mealtime. Prompt communication and very professional. Highly recommended!!”
“Svetlana was our first cat sitter ever and we are very happy we found her. She is very responsable and was flexible to change the schedule due weather conditions. She also helped to check the mail while we were gone beside feeding the cats. We will hire her again if there is an other opportunity.”
“Heaven was an incredible sitter for my cats. She came every day for my 2 week trip and spent a lot of time playing with them. I strongly recommend hiring her as she'll do great for your pets”
“Patricia is really sweet. My cats took to her immediately. She kept in contact daily, sending photos and notes. She is really an animal lover. I would definitely use her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for the assist in a pinch! Everything was great, glad you had seen her run to her hiding spot, that makes me not the crazy guy with a bunch of cat stuff and no cat. ;-) 10 out of 10, will book again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently care for two cats and a dog of my own. I’m very comfortable with daily routines, playtime, feeding, and giving pets lots of attention and love. I also frequently dog sit for friends when they’re out of town, so I understand how important it is to provide reliable, trustworthy care while you’re away. I’m currently a psychology doctoral student finishing my final year, which gives me a flexible schedule and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals, so I’m excited to make some new furry friends while providing reliable, attentive care! I treat every pet like my own, with safety and trust as my top priorities. I’m very attentive to routines, behavior, and surroundings, whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home. I aim to create a calm, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for, and I’m always happy to send updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
About: I very much so enjoy sitting for people with cats 🐈 I’ve always had a love for cats, the way they set boundaries but are also so gentle when they deem it appropriate. I do like to believe I may be a *slight* cat whisperer. The cat in my photo is actually a local at a cafe in tijeras!

“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.”
“My dog absolutely loved it at Cindy's house!! It's my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but Cindy went above and beyond! You can tell she really loves dogs and knows what she's doing. I definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve dog sat for most of my life, I have a love for all dogs and deeply believe dogs are family and should be treated and cared for as such I currently work full time on the weekends so I am usually off on weekdays and would love some company cuddling on the couch or on walks. My partner usually has off on the weekends so someone will always be home to care for your loved one(s). We use this account together. I have a fenced yard and almost a half acre to run around. I have two beagles and a little yorkie that will keep your pup company.
“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.”
“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!”
“Brian is great - our dog is pretty shy, but he has been really patient with her and now she is excited to see him and the other dogs. He is also great at communicating quickly. Very thankful to have a safe, fun place for our dog to go.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Toast had the best day at daycare with Kathy and the crew! She took the time to make my slow to warm up pup feel right at home. I really appreciated the pupdates thought out the day and the fact she got to go out on a hike (a favorite activity of hers). Would definitely recommend and Toast can’t wait for her next adventure day!”
About: Caring, reliable, and experienced pet parent of a happy and lively 13-year-old male Papillon (retired champion show dog!). I have open availability in my schedule throughout the week. I would love to start taking care of new clients in Albuquerque. I especially love taking my furry friends for fun-filled long walks or having an impromptu photo shoot at your home to show off your pet. I'm comfortable with young, active pups and kittens as well as senior dogs and cats who require medication or other extra care for individual needs. I believe in creating a personalized experience for each animal, based on their preferences, activity level, and health. When I housesit, I am happy to include additional services beyond pet care, such as bringing in the mail and packages, watering plants, bringing the garbage and recycling cans around, and alternating lights to ensure it looks like someone is around while you are out of town. I have many years of experience walking dogs and pet-sitting overnight in my former hometown of Austin, TX, as well as in the Washington, DC area, with many highly satisfied repeat clients. I would be happy to have a meet and greet with you and your dog or cat (or rabbit or birds) to discuss more details! I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day and on weekends and holidays. If you'd like me to provide some socialization for your small dog while I'm walking them, we can see if our pets get along first. I only care for one household's pets at a time. Let me know the pet rules for your home (if fur babies can sit on the bed or what else might be off limits to them). I am very careful to properly harness dogs when taking them outside. Your pet will never be left unattended while in my care.
“Shell is a wonderful caretaker of our puppy Yogi and he came home tired and happy! He was excited to see her in the mornings and enjoyed his time with her! We were so lucky to find her!”
“First time using a pup sitter, so definitely first time using Rover. It went great, especially since it was a last minute needed booking. Michael was just great with Rio! Thank you, Michael”
“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.”
“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.”
“Brandi is so nice and caring with her dogs and was the same with my dog, Buttercup. She helped make the introductions between Buttercup and her dogs go smoothly by slowly letting them meet each other. She sends pictures and updates throughout the day to keep you updated on the fun times your dog is having. Buttercup had a great time playing with Charlie and Jasmine. I was very reassured when I dropped Buttercup off and was very happy when I picked her up and saw how happy she was. Would definitely recommend Brandi to anyone looking for a safe, fun dog sitting experience.”
“Becka is a rescued dog, so afraid of everybody. Not with Robert and Holly, she was smiling when I picked her up. I am so grateful of how nice they were with her. So, happy yo have them to help me with my beloved dog!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Oso Grande
“Cassandra has been amazing! She clearly loves dogs and treats ours with so much care and affection. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile. We feel completely at ease knowing our dog is in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“As usual, we continue to be happy with Emily's services. We have used her many times over the last several months. She is responsive, reliable, and loving toward our animals.”
“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”
“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!”
“Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.”
“My dog got two awesome walks today thanks to Robert and Holly. The walks were long and I loved being able to see the map of where they went. Good pics were sent. My dog said hello when I got home and then fell right asleep! I think she had a very good day. I look forward to hiring them for my next outing.”
“Adrienne is awesome! She genuinely cares for your dog as if it’s her own. I have been using her for the last month and will continue to do so! Thanks for everything:)”
“We were so nervous as our dog watching plans fell through. I hopped on rover and was quickly put at ease by Elena. The most amazing experience ever. Far exceeded our expectations for taking care of our fur baby. Winston, my dog, fell in love. Amazing communication and super accommodating. Elena sent several pictures every visit that showed our doggy was happy every walk she took him on. She gave him food and water twice a day every day and took him on wonderful adventures. Very prompt responses and updates on our puppy made us so glad we chose Elena. Her messages every visit made us smile and put us at ease. I can't stress enough how wonderful she is. Stop looking and book her now! I have found our forever puppy sitter. Thanks again Elena.”
“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.”
“Delena is great with Koda and Colson. They had an instant connection. She puts on their leash and is off on their walk. They already know that she is there to take them out. Will continue to work with her.”
About: Since the age of 6 I have taken care of many animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, and goats. I also enjoy hiking and tons of exercise. I joined the app in hopes of gaining a friend to enjoy the scenery with. Due to having many different classes at different times of the day I get many breaks. Within these breaks I usually take walks on my own to decompress from school. A friend told me she used Rover as well and I thought might as well have a furry friend join me on my walks and enjoy the sunshine too. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends for many years and feel I am very respectful of their homes. While working at a clients home I feel communication is key to build trust and that their house should be the same when I leave as when I entered prior to sitting.
“Valerie was a great sitter for my dog and it was easy leaving knowing he was in good hands! I received plenty of messages and pictures after walks so I knew what they were up to every day. I can't recommend Valerie highly enough!”
About: As a proud pet mom, I completely understand the trust it takes to leave your baby in the care of another. I offer flexible walks, drop in visits and occasional boarding. Growing up with animals, I’ve taken care of various friends/family members pets and have tons of experience in the pet sitting world. I am currently a student, working part time, and have a schedule that allows me to provide flexible drop in visits & walks when needed! As a vet assistant, animal lover and pet sitter your pets comfort and safety is my top priority, whether it’s a walk or drop in visit, you’ll be sure to receive plenty of pictures & updates along the way!
“Coda absolutely adores Jennifer. I saw it first hand when I was home due to an illness and she came to walk Coda when I am usually in class. It was heartwarming to see.”
About: I've been providing trusted house sitting and pet sitting services for family members for over five years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I also spent about a year regularly caring for and walking my sister's dog, helping with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am available for pet care on Friday evenings, as well as throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays. I can provide services such as dog walking, drop-ins, and pet sitting during these times. I am flexible on weekends and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs and advance notice. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and reliable environment for every pet in my care. I have experience caring for dogs through both family and personal pet sitting, including walking and daily care routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and specific instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets are always supervised during care, kept in secure environments, and treated with patience and consistency. I also respect each owner’s home and follow all guidelines closely to maintain trust and reliability. My goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“When I get home, my sweet and active lab always greets me with a smile and spins. When she has a really good day her smile is extra big and she spins and jumps more than usual. Tonight I counted 14 spins so it was a really happy day because she had a fun walk with Valerie!”
About: When I used to have my pet dogs I liked to take them out jogging for exercise. When I was a kid we owned a beagle for at least 4 years and we also had a chocolate lab for about 10 years, so I have some experience taking care of dogs. I enjoy being outdoors, and would be happy to throw a toy around a dog park, or just take your dog on the leash to go walking. I like being with dogs and I'm an active person so I'll have no problem keeping your dog busy! I'm only driving for Instacart right now, so my schedule is very flexible. I might be looking for a part time job soon, but I'm not sure yet. I'm mostly here for the dog walking, and some pet sitting in the clients home. I live in a small apartment so I'm not really interested in sitting an animal at my place unfortunately. I'm currently working part time and am looking for another job, so am in need of extra work. I'm usually very active and love hiking and being outdoors Give me instructions to follow for caring for your pets in your home, and I'll make sure that your friends have everything that they need when you are away! You can always reach out to me on my cell phone if you need to check in

Will definitely be looking to call him again in the future for our pet care needs!”
