“Bonnie is an amazing sitter. Arlo loves staying at her place. She keeps us updated daily with pictures and texts. It is comforting to know that Bonnie is looking after Arlo and that he is having the best of times.”
“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.”
“Patricia always does a great job taking care of my doggies. One of my dogs in particular is pretty emotionally sensitive, but seems to have a good time at Patricia's and always appears relaxed and happy in the pictures and videos Patricia sends. Patricia has also been able and willing to administer medicine and feed according to specific instructions. She was very flexible with us picking up the dogs later than anticipated after flight delays. Very happy we've found such a great sitter for our beloved dogs. She makes this part of traveling so much easier on me!”
“Savannah was amazing! Extremely communicative radically from the Dan. Super thankful she was able to take care of Joey while on vacation! Would highly recommend and would absolutely go to again!”
“Pat took care of my shy senior dog and treated her like a member of her family. Made sure to clarify my dog’s routines/preferences before the stay and provided timely updates. It felt good knowing my pup was in great hands.”
“Hunny was well taken care of by Jamie and Patrick while we were on our trip! It was so nice knowing she was happy and having a good time while we were out of town.”
“Leslie and James were so great to Angel. When I dropped him off I knew my little dog was in good hands. Leslie was very communicative on how he was doing in their home, and she even sent me pictures of him happily getting along with their sweet dogs. I am so grateful for Leslie and James taking him last minute. I know in the future we have a safe option for boarding Angel ☺️ 🐶”
“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”
“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
“Thomas & Matthew were nothing short of amazing!! Daily communication with photos plus private areas in the house + outside just for our pup. We had some unforeseen circumstances and emergencies occur at the end of our trip and Thomas & Matthew helped to ensure Oliver was taken care of, we were SO thankful for their flexibility and willingness to help. It was apparent with every photo that Oliver was having a BLAST with them and fitting right in. We will definitely be looking to Thomas and Matthew for future bookings!”
“Rosalia takes excellent care of our dog Sloan and keeps us updated about how things are going. Sloan loves it there. We're very happy repeat customers.”
“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.”
“Hossanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Azula. From the start, she was so accommodating and kind, and she even met with us for two walks before Azula’s stay, which made a huge difference in helping us feel comfortable. I have very detailed (and sometimes neurotic) instructions when it comes to my dog, and Hossanna never once made me feel bad about that. She was patient, understanding, and clearly cared about doing things right for Azula. She sent us many thoughtful photos throughout the stay, and it was obvious Azula was comfortable, happy, and safe in her care. If she would have us again, I would absolutely book with her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”
“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“We're so grateful we found Bill, he and his wife are great people and you can tell they really care. Our pup is usually pitiful while we're away but he had a great time boarding with Bill. Highly recommend!”
“Tracy and her family were AMAZING with our dog Chip. He is a recent rescue with anxiety so when looking for a sitter, I wanted a family that he could integrate with. At Tracy's, he felt right at home and immediately bonded with their daughter. When I picked Chip up after a very long stay, he was happy and healthy. Tracy provided regular photos/updates and answered any questions that I had. I would absolutely book with Tracy and her family again. Thank you!!”

“Lauren did an amazing job watching my two kitties, Sushi and Miso! Miso is a bit of a shy guy but I knew she did great when she mentioned he began to warm up to her :) I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a pet sitter, very communicative throughout my trip and very sweet with them both! Thank you again Lauren!”
“Highly, highly recommend! Denise is a caring animal lover with heaps of experience from all her work at the animal humane. My rescue felt comfortable with her very quickly and was well cared for during the week+ that I was away. On top of that, my house was in great condition when I got back. Thanks, Denise, for the daily photos, clear communication, and for being so great at what you do!”
“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!!”
“Alejandra did a great job with lots of communication and photos. She also was great at navigating any mishaps, like escaping chickens. Would definitely book again!”
“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She was here when she said she would be. Very prompt which was important due to the fact that our cat Speedy needs his meds at the same time each day. She cleaned up after feedings of wet food and sent pix of our boys, which was really nice to receive. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family. Thank you Amanda! ;o)”
“Leslie was fantastic with our two cats! We are full time travelers and our situation is a little strange (she had to visit our RV park to feed them) but she was amazing. She sent pictures of the cats each day so we knew they were happy and safe. Would definitely have her watch our cats again.”
About: I have 7 years experience owning my own cat, and 1 year of experience cat-sitting for family and friends. I have given cats baths (with minimal scratches), administered medication (liquid and solid), and took care of my cat after she was spayed. Whether your cat is clingy or prefers co-existing, I'd be honored to take care of them!
“Brenna is such a kind and attentive sitter! She took the time to get to know our cats and their routines before their time together and gave them lots of love while we were away! She even left a personalized note and treats after their time together. We will definitely book Brenna again and highly recommend her!”
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, etc.
“Jessica is a fantastic cat sitter! She has watched my cat Cookie twice, and both times she was so thorough with her care and made sure Cookie got playtime and cuddles. I will always feel comfortable having Jessica take care of my pets :)”
“Brigit did a great job taking care of my two cats! I would definitely book with her again. She sent pictures of my cats every day and I felt extra comfortable leaving my cats with her knowing that she has some veterinary knowledge.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. From dogs and cats to horses, birds, fish, and even ferrets, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my days with so many wonderful animals over the years. Each one has taught me something new about love, patience, and companionship, and I carry that experience with me into every pet I care for. Right now, I share my home with a lively crew—a sweet senior Husky hybrid who’s 15 years old, a playful 7-month-old Cattle Dog, two affectionate cats (one a sprightly senior of 14 years), and a handful of fish who bring calm and beauty to my space. Because of them, I have firsthand experience with pets at every stage of life. I understand the patience and special attention seniors need, as well as the energy and safe guidance puppies and kittens require as they grow. My passion for animals has inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician, but no matter the path, one thing is certain: caring for animals will always be at the heart of what I do. I love spending time outdoors with pets, going on walks, playing their favorite games, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or prefers quiet snuggles and gentle care, I’ll treat them like one of my own. When your furry (or feathered, or finned!) family members are with me, you can feel confident that they’ll be cared for with warmth, patience, and lots of love.
About: Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for shy cats, senior cats, high-energy cats, multi-cat households, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. I understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, and I always do my best to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their home environment. I also have a senior cat of my own, so I understand how important gentle care, consistency, and close attention can be, especially for older pets. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like family and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your cat needs drop-in visits, feeding, medication, playtime, litter box care, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help!
“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”
“Kim was very conscientious about Laylas care. I got updates daily with some pictures. I wasn't clear on some things but Kim figured it out and Layla had all she needed.”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter. She was gracious with me on the pre-sitting process such as meet and greet and then communicating on meeting for the keys. She shared her photos with us on the cats on each visits (close ups as I have cameras which see from far). She communicate with me on any issues with the cats (none so far) and her visits which were remedied quickly. I would like to rebook her again in the near future.”
“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.”

“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.”
About: I love looking after animals and making them feel loved and cared for. Your animal’s safety and care is my top priority. In addition to frequently, dog, cat and housesitting, I also have two dogs of my own. If I am housing your dogs in my space, they will get along great with your pet, as they are very friendly dogs. I am open to both housesitting and boarding your dogs. I love to take frequent walks, many play breaks, and snuggles if your animals like to cuddle. I have experience with anxious animals, and I know how to be a calming presence that respect their boundaries and make them feel comfortable. I have experience with both very small dogs up to very very big dogs. I currently work from home, so if I’m boarding your pet or house sitting, I can work while taking care of your furry friends! I walk dogs daily, let them out to use the bathroom about every 2-4 hours, and love to play and cuddle! At my home, I have a small enclosed yard and never leave things out that animals can get into. At yours, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure to keep them safe.
“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.”
“Rob was very friendly, helpful and accommodating, and our dog Laifu was so happy he didn’t seem to want to leave. Will call Rob next time we need help in Albuquerque”
“Celine was great with our Belgian Malinois for a daycare visit. She is calm, organized, and quick to respond to questions. Jana immediately seemed to feel comfortable with her and we will definitely book with her again.”
About: I love to run so if your dog is active I can help get all the energy out before your pet comes home. If your cat or dog is a homebody we have two big comfy couches for your pet to sleep on. And we have a private backyard if your pet likes to explore. Anything you need we can accommodate 😊 Im an editor so Im home all the time and I will have more than enough time to spend with your pet to play and have a great day. We have a private backyard that no one else has accomplished to besides us. Your pet will have full access to the backyard and living room but if you need it we can crate your pet in its own area so they feel more comfortable and secure 😊

Adventure-ready dog walkers - West Mesa
About: I've had large dogs since I was born and when I was young I remember going outside and feeding them with my mom and giving them treats. Now I have two small dogs I've had for 10 years that I trained myself, they know pretty much every basic command plus some that are more advanced. I also groom them myself such as brushing and bathing. I love walking my dogs and getting out of the house and getting fresh air, it always tires them out so they can sleep throughout the night. I'm available full time since I left Amazon in Feb. I will be able to give dogs or cats my full attention all day and night. I can take them out for walks or even give them outdoor time in my yard. I'm new to pet sitting in-home but I'm sure I'll learn along the way. I have a fenced yard they can play in and a park is close by to play at. I don't crate my pets but I can crate yours if needed.
“Thank you for the quick response. Sombra is awesome and usually have a friend pick her up on unexpected longer days but they weren't available. Lauren was able to step in on a moments notice. 🐾 of thanks!”

I’m available bright and early in the mornings all the way through the evening for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. My regular availability is from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day of the week, weekends included. I understand that every pet and family has different routines, so I’m happy to be flexible and work around the times that suit you best. I’m also available most weekends for house sitting, giving you peace of mind that your pets (and home) are well cared for while you’re away. If there’s ever a time I won’t be available, I’ll always update my schedule in advance so you’ll never be left guessing. My goal is to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets! I am able to travel throughout the county and city, and I’m comfortable caring for pets in a wide variety of environments, including apartments, houses, farm properties, sidewalks, parks, and outdoor settings. No matter the location, I make it a priority to ensure pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings. I follow all owner instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, or special accommodations. Maintaining consistency is important, and I will make sure your pets’ routines are carried out to your exact standards. While house sitting, I provide ongoing attention and companionship throughout the day, and during walks or check-ins, your pets will always have my full, undivided focus. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, proper meals, and any other care items they may need. I am also fully comfortable working in all types of weather and terrain, so your pets’ care will never be disrupted by outside conditions.
“Greg has met with Sasha for a meet and greet, then the next day for a 60 minute walk. My Sasha came home exhausted and happy! Looking forward to doing more business with Greg.”
“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”

About: I’ve spent many years making tails wag both professionally and personally! As a seasoned groomer, I’ve mastered the art of turning “ruff” days into paw-sitive experiences. Beyond the salon, I’m a devoted pet parent who knows that every whisker, paw, and wagging tail deserves love, attention, and care. From quick drop-ins to full pet sitting, I bring a “fur-tastic” mix of expertise, patience, and heart—ensuring your pets feel pampered, safe, and happily spoiled while you’re away. I am a dedicated animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for pets. While I work full-time, I make it a priority to ensure that every animal I care for receives attention, love, and responsible supervision.

Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended pet sitting, I bring reliability, empathy, and a deep appreciation for animals to every interaction. Your pets will feel loved, secure, and happy under my care. A typical day for my pets starts with a hearty breakfast followed by some scheduled outdoor time to stretch, explore, and enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the day, I make sure they get attention, play, and care suited to their needs. The day winds down with an evening walk to burn off any extra energy, followed by a cozy cuddle session to relax and bond before bedtime. Every day is about keeping pets happy, healthy, and feeling loved from sunrise to snuggle time.

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

I work part time as server and the rest of the time I work and go to school at home, leaving me with plenty of time to be your furry friends companion. I have a little dog park at my apartment, as well as plenty of space to walk the dogs around my building. I also offer to take care of your animals at your home if that’s what you prefer.
About: Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve completed multiple courses focused on dog behavior, handling, and training techniques. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including timid cats, high-energy cats, seniors, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! I just moved to Albuquerque from Austin Texas and I am currently looking for jobs right now so I am available anytime for your pets needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone in both your home and with your pets. I care for my own senior cat with patience, consistency, and close attention to comfort and routine, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I always take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and needs. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, medication, feeding schedules, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I treat every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home and animals are being looked after responsibly and compassionately.

I am very flexible and will work with you!! I am an early riser and have a vehicle to make my way to you with no problem. Unfortunately, now I will not be able to host animals at my home.

“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
“Thomas & Matthew were nothing short of amazing!! Daily communication with photos plus private areas in the house + outside just for our pup. We had some unforeseen circumstances and emergencies occur at the end of our trip and Thomas & Matthew helped to ensure Oliver was taken care of, we were SO thankful for their flexibility and willingness to help. It was apparent with every photo that Oliver was having a BLAST with them and fitting right in. We will definitely be looking to Thomas and Matthew for future bookings!”
“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“We're so grateful we found Bill, he and his wife are great people and you can tell they really care. Our pup is usually pitiful while we're away but he had a great time boarding with Bill. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”
“Doug was so easy to work with and accommodating. My dogs had a lovely time with him. Even though one of my girls got sick with tummy troubles a couple of days before the stay, he agreed to still watch all 3. Stellar experience overall”
“Chad provides a safe environment! My dog got along with his dog right away, which doesn’t always happen. The dogs have a great big backyard to play in, they don’t go for walks normally. Mentioning because if you want that you need to talk to Chad to arrange it. Chad agreed not to crate my dog which is good because he hasn’t been in a crate in years, and Max seems in good health when I picked him up, moved pretty good for a senior dog.”
“She was very kind and answred very quickly. She understood yoongis special needs and went beyond and gave her the best home away from home. Yoongi also had a good time with the rest of the dogs and i was happy to see the pictures of her with the other dogs. I will definitely recommend and will book again with her if ever needed.”
“She was great! She communicated with me while I was gone on vacation. I got multiple pictures. My dog was happy when I picked her up. I would definitely go back. Thank you Shell for taking care of my dog while we were away.”
“Kristle was communicative and flexible when we made a booking request for a holiday period. We appreciated that she took the time to do a meet and greet to make sure our dog would be a good fit in her household. Our dog looked happy and well loved during her stay - she even got her a gift! We really appreciated Kristle and would book with her again.”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
