“I can’t say enough good things about Maellen. They took amazing care of my dog while I was away and treated them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. Kumar came back relaxed and content, which says it all! Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—I would highly recommend Maellen to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”
“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.”
“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!”
“My cats loved their stay so much they didn't want to come home! Kathryn was easy to deal with, good communication, and obviously loves cats. Highly recommended.”
“This is the 4th time I’ve left my dogs with Bonnie. She goes out of her way to spoil them with food and love. She makes them chicken without my asking and they devour it. She puts a special blanket on their favorite chair where they look out the window. She sent the cutest photos. I’m so happy to be able to rely on her to take good care of my dogs.”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“I was confident leaving my dog with Anne. She is experienced in having multiple dogs stay with her. My dog was well cared for. We received many "proof of life" pictures and updates during our vacation.”
“Sophie was so wonderful with our dog Bob. Bob seemed very happy and got lots of time with Sophie and her family, and Sophie even gave Bob a bath before pickup! Sophie was also super flexible with our pickup and drop off schedule. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Pat was great with our dogs. We are very happy after their stay as they came back happy and content. She is there most of the time which is important and shows great love for all dogs. She sent pics while we were away which is also very nice. I highly recommend her.”

“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”

“Angela is a great cat sitter! Our cat Pounce was well cared for and we appreciated the photo updates. Thank you Angela for making our first time using Rover a smooth experience!”
“Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.”
“Tawnia came and checked on our cats for a last minute booking. She is very attentive to detail and loving to all our animals. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Brigit has been a fantastic cat sitter. She's reliable, communicative, and experienced. Both of my cats have some health issues (one has diabetes, the other one is just very old), and I feel very safe leaving them in her hands. I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Alexus was phenomenal, 13/10 rating! Her notes are thorough with a dash of humor spread in. She gave our babies so much love and we can’t thank her enough!”

“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.”
“My cat was instantly comfortable at Tabitha‘s house which is amazing. Storm has totally stressed out with other cat sitters so I felt great about leaving him with Tabitha. She watched him for almost a month for me and he really seem to enjoy it. And when I picked him up he was so calm. I can usually tell how he’s doing because he had a tendency to pull his hair out when he’s unhappy but he did not do that at all I will totally always use Tabitha as my pet sitter!”

“Kim is WONDERFUL!! She is always accommodating and loving with my two fur babies “Finch” & “Cash.” They always know where they’re going when we drive towards her house lol Kim is always understanding and accommodating when I’m running later than usual to pick up my fur babies. I cannot appreciate her more! Finch & Cash always look happy and wiggly when I pick them up :)”
“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!”
“Lauren and Devan were so great helping my nervous little dog get comfortable and feel at home on long days in a strange place. I felt she was safe around other dogs and was so glad that she got more playful and relaxed after being there for a short time”
“I read Rita's reviews before booking with her and she is all that and more! Foster came back happy to see us and his normal bouncy self, no signs of stress. She sent several updates. It was good to see our boy having fun with his new friends. We will use her again when we come to Albuquerque!”
About: I have had dogs for many years and loved them all. Whippets and rescues, poodles, and mixed breeds have all found love in my home. I have cared for dogs of others, both in my home and as a house sitter. (I will housesit for cats but cannot have them in my home due to family member allergy). I have cared for puppies and all ages, including senior dogs. Medication, feeding, walks, playing, loving...all can be done. I am retired from working as an art therapist. We have a young pup at home who loves other dogs. I am home throughout the day and will work with needed schedules. When I am out on errands, etc, my pup currently is free to roam the house. We have a fenced yard, a dog door, and easy care home. I will work with whatever requirements are needed to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.
“Adam was a great pet care provider for day care for our 4 year old BC. Adam promptly answered our texts when we arranged booking and for drop off. He ixx AC a friendly and personable guy. His dog a Aussie was friendly and playful. This was a great experience and we highly recommend Adam for your pet care needs. Great Job! Thanks”
“Spencer was incredible with Trident and me as well! I was so anxious to leave her for the first time and she came home happy and tired! I am so grateful to have found Spencer and Trident will be happy to spend a day there again I have no doubt!”
“Highly recommend! First time using a dog sitter and Shayna was perfect for my dog. Communication was great and I received updates/photos of my dog throughout the day. Shayna made me feel at ease knowing my dog would be in great care. I would request Shayna again for future doggy day care. Thank you Shayna!”
“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 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.
“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
“Thanks to Amy for helping watch our little Gus. Amy is wonderfully compassionate with dogs and with her experience we were so comfortable leaving him with her. He clearly enjoyed his time with her and her dogs! Thank you!”
“Michelle was great with our pup. She was very friendly and very prepared, and clearly loved to be around dogs. She had plenty of space and toys, and thoughtfully laid out water and had treats for him too.”
“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 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!!!!”
“Charles and Cadence are so kind and caring, I felt extremely safe and relieved to leave my 2 fur babies with them. They did everything to give the pups a great stay.”
“Melinda was so kind and such an incredible caretaker for our dog while we were in Albuquerque for a day. She was such a quick responder to all messages, was so sweet, and truly exemplified what it meant to be a “dog lover.” She made sure all accommodations were met for our little Luna and made us feel at ease while we got our car fixed. Would definitely recommend Melinda to anyone looking for a sitter for the day or overnight!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of the boys while we were in Albuquerque for the day. I wish you were closer so we had a reliable sitter in Denver. The pictures helped us through out the day know that the boys were safe and having fun too! Look us up if you're ever in Colorado. Ve”

About: I started volunteering at vet clinics in 2006. I've been caring for other people's pets since 2012, including dogs, cats, exotic birds, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I am experienced with special needs animals, elderlies, and those recovering from surgery. I've completed over 100 volunteer hours walking rescue dogs at Animal Humane New Mexico (AHNM). I am comfortable working with some behavioral challenges. Completed training: 2026 Fear Free Shelters program “Play Groups, Meet-and-Greets, and Dog Fight Response Training.” AHNM 2025 “Advanced Dog Walker Training" AHNM “Calming Canines Training" AHNM 2024 “Safe Dog Walker Training" AHNM I've also been volunteering at spay/neuter events since 2016. Some of my photos are from those. Please note that I am not representing any organization. I work from home and I make my own schedule. I wake up before 6 am so I am available early. Helping out with pets is my favorite thing to do! Outside the home or your fenced yard, dogs will be on-leash and distanced from other animals and people. I do not mix animals from different homes.
“Jenny has been an amazing caretaker for my 8.5 year old shepherd/doberman pup. She's excellent with communication and very flexible for daily walks while I'm at work. When I get home, my dog is clearly well exercised and taken care of. I highly recommend Jenny (but also please don't steal her from us)!”
About: I have grown up with animals and love them all dearly <3 I have my own cat and dog at home and have helped out watching friends' animals since I was very little. I'd love to meet your cutie and help out! I am currently working part time or contract gigs until I head off to grad school in August! This makes my schedule flexible for all needs. 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. Depending on your pets needs, I will happily take them on one of my runs!
“Hossanna is an incredible dog walker! She's reliable, loves what she does, and always gives thoughtful notes and pictures during her drop ins. I would absolutely recommend booking Hossanna for all your dog care needs.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Eden is exceptionally reliable, communicative, and kind towards our boys!!! There has been a noticeable difference in our pup’s demeanor (he’s happier, more playful) but also in the way he handles on leash! I couldn’t be happier with Eden and I hope to be able to be her client for a very long time!”
“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.”
“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!!”
About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.
About: Hi, I’m Avery (Julie)! At the moment I do not have any pets of my own…yet keep dog treats in my mailbox for passers by. I have had dogs and cats in my life since I can remember. I have had 5 dogs at a time, and know how to lead, and listen. Highly intuitive and super happy person who genuinely cares about connection with animals. I am a communicative person and can definitely assist in helping with your pets - keeping you informed of their well being. Currently I am available on week nights after 4pm, and weekends, yet I retire very soon so will have time to attend during the week days. My home is very comfortable and there is enough space for pets to have room to explore. I have a fenced front and back yard. I also have a cooled sunroom that will also be available for summer or windy days.
“Brooke is the absolute best! She is consistent, punctual, an excellent communicator, and our dog goes nuts when he sees her. I’ve utilized several dog walkers/sitters through Rover in the past but none are as dependable as Brooke.”

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 walks 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.
“It was our first time leaving our dogs for that long and she made it such a great experience for us! She kept updating us throughout our vacation and she was very welcoming when we first met her during the meet and greet with the dogs. We would definitely recommend her to everyone and we would definitely book her again!”
“Super awesome with my pup -received tons of updates! My flight got delayed and Cindy was super flexible in letting him stay an extra night. Would definitely book again!”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
