“Buttons enjoyed her stay at Debbi’s home. I got to see lots of pictures. Her two labs were very friendly to my dog. Her home and backyard are awesome for cats”
“Savannah took really good care of Maple. She was patient, understanding of her unique needs and helped fixed a nutrient problem we didn't realize was an issue. Maple came back "smiling" with the zoomies. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Rita was the best dog care we have ever had! Everyday when we were out of the country she would send updates and pics and our dog always looked happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Rita to anyone and will for certain use her again when needed!”
“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“Mark was the perfect sitter for my small dog. He sent me regular updates/photos/and videos--which really helped with my own separation anxiety from my pup. I will use Mark again and highly recommend him. Thanks, Mark!”
“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.”
“Cindy took great care of our dog The meet and greet was very helpful. When we returned to leave her, she was excited to go play with Cindy’s dog. Cindy sent us daily updates with photos that were so reassuring. We were a little late getting back to pick her up. Cindy was very accommodating. It’s great to know that she is in our area for future trips.”
“Doug kept up with sharing pics and texts with me during my pups stay. The updates kept me from all worries I might of had. Doug seemed to figure out our dog’s play style, and shared with us new tricks Akira and him were doing. It sounded like they really had a fun time. Plus our dog got to meet new friends, go on lots of walks, and had a good amount of attention and treats.”
“Celine was great with our dog Ellie. We were updated daily on how she was doing along with pictures! We will book Celine again in the future. Thank you!”
“Brian took excellent care of my 12 lb dachshund, Peaches. When we picked her up she was unstressed, laying comfortably in Brian’s arms. He texted me a status photo during the day which I 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!”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Jamie was amazing! Our poor baby became ill and she knew something was wrong with her and immediately took her to the vet. We love how Jamie treats our dog like her own.”
“Brain was great with our babies! They were so worn out from playing all the time that they came home and just slept most of the day. My smaller dog didn’t even want to leave lol. Brain was great with communication and I felt super comfortable leaving both my dogs with him. Thanks Brian!”

“Jana did a great job caring for my two very elusive cats. She is very good with animals, and I received daily updates with pictures. I would hire her again in a minute!”

“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:):)”
“Katie was stellar, as usual. Our cat had a medical condition, which required some extra attention, while we were gone but due to Katie’s watchful eye we felt safe to leave him with her.”
“Christina was great! She kept us updated throughout our pups stay. Bree had a great time with her other boarder pup. Christina was very professional and we ( and Bree) liked her so much we are interested in setting up regular doggy daycare days!”
“August was awesome!! I am a very anxious pet parent and I was able to feel comfortable leaving my 3 cats. Each report card was detailed and had tons of pictures, and I came back to 3 very happy kitties. They are normally spooked for a while after a sitter, but August really made an effort to make them feel safe and they clearly became friends. Would absolutely book again for pet care. 😊”
“Jennifer was fantastic! She checked in the day before just to make sure she had everything in order. She made me feel very comfortable that she was good with adminstering one of my boy’s meds. She checked in on the day of and sent one of the best pictures of my cat I’ve ever seen! thank you Jennifer!”
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.
“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!”
“Max dropped in to check on my two cats, fed and gave them some attention twice a day over Memorial Day weekend. I found them in good condition on my return. Thanks, Max!”
“Delena was great in caring for my kitty! She made me feel like he was getting care and attention. I loved the daily phones and text. She also gathered my eggs and brought in packages. I will call her again!”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“My cats were in good hands with Valerie! She kept the cats clean & healthy. She communicates clearly and promptly. Would 100% book with Valerie in the future.”
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.

Perfect for high energy dogs - S Y Jackson
“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!”
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.
“Cindy was great with my 2 year old baby. I sent Sandia for my 12 hour shifts and Cindy was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I got lots of picture updates. 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 :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was the first time I have left Horace with a sitter and I am so pleased how well it went. Celeste responds immediately to texts and sends photos of how the day is going. So appreciated. I would send Horace to Celeste’s for the day in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
“Brian was fantastic! His house is set up for dog play and he obviously loves all the dogs he takes care of. Teddy was happily exhausted when I picked him up. Brian was flexible with me on pick-up and drop-off times which was very helpful. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a safe fun place to leave their dog!!”
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.
“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!”
“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”
“We needed daycare for our small pup while traveling so we could go to a museum. Shell was responsive when scheduling and attuned to our dogs needs while he was there. Good experience all around!”
“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.”
“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”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - S Y Jackson
“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!”
“Emily is an amazing pet care giver. She reliably walked and/ or played with my dog for two weeks. She was very patient with him in the beginning as they got to know one another and now they are best buds. She updated me daily on his care and habits. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“Malcolm has been walking Alika since August 2024, and they both have a good trust in each other. Malcolm handles Alika really well. Alika, a Boxer can be a handful with his high energy. Malcolm is professional, punctual, and trustworthy.”
“Candace is great to work with. I reached out for dog walking my two rescues. They have some quirks and she manages them well. I’m happy she’s available when I need her. I will use her service again.”
“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: 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!
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.
“Sam is so great with my babies . They just came back from an epic outing and they were so happy - so I was very happy. Sam can handle whatever your dog needs and no drama.”
“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!”
“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
