“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maellen, she is my go-to when I need to board my dog. My dog is a very shy dog but has really come to trust Maellen and her husband. She loves their yard and all the walks! I look forward to booking Maellen in the future! She is amazing!”
“He was fantastic with our dog! Very caring and made sure our pup got walks and tons of play times. He included daily pictures of our pup. We will be using him every time in the future”
“Thank you Brian, for taking such great care of our dog. We would recommend you to anyone in need of boarding their dog. We look forward to using your services in the future.”
“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.”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“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!”
“Brandi was an amazing choice when boarding Ace who hadn’t had a lot of time outside of the house. Ace loved her dog Aries and her kids as well! The kids didn’t want Ace to leave and loved on him the whole time, which made me so happy. She also has a lot of experience and taught him a couple new tricks while I was gone. She went above and beyond to learn about Ace and even had him sleep in a bigger crate than the one I brought, to ensure he was happy. Her whole family is the sweetest and I can’t wait to book with her again!!!”
“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.”
“This was our second time leaving Ash with Jamie and Patrick, and they took wonderful care of her. We really enjoyed receiving photos of Ash having a great time while we were on vacation. Knowing she was happy and well cared for gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“We were in a bind due to a family emergency which prohibited us from taking the dog, and very apprehensive about the safety and care of our beloved Mowgli. Such gratitude that Cindy stepped in, we were able to meet that day and throughout the trip we received updates showing Mowgli so well cared for. When we got home he was completely contented. Thank you Rover and especially Cindy - you gave us peace of mind at a time when it meant so much.”
“Bobbi was she very helpful in a short notice. My first time her. She was sweet and kind to my baby and Bonni treated her like a princess.100% would recommend her again”
“Lisa was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our cat, Woody. He has never been away from home before, and I was really nervous — but both Lisa and her dog, Gullu, were so gentle and comforting with him. I was genuinely surprised by how relaxed and at ease he seemed around them. Lisa sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and was super flexible with our schedule. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”
“Crystal was amazing! She was extremely quick to communicate and gave me updates throughout Emma‘s stay with her. Emma almost didn’t wanna leave ! Would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“As usual, Brian provided excellent care for my friend Nick the snickerdoodle the 5 nights he spent there. Nick is always happy to go to Brian's with the huge backyard and a cast of rotating paw pals that visit for the day or have sleepovers. Best of all for me is that Nick comes home tuckered out but happy.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my doggo! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog felt comfortable at her home with her loving care and attention. Sara also took the time to give my dog her daily supplements and treats. I really felt like Sara took care of my dog like her own pets--so loving! Thank you so much, Sara!!”

“Kerrigan was/is awesome. Great communication and updates on my cat (Koda). She delivered on love and attention for him while I was away. Looking forward to the next time that Kerrigan is available.”
“Highly recommend booking with Sara! She was so caring, attentive, and thoughtful. It was obvious how much she cared for our home and cat. And she completed everything in such a detailed way. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I have dealt with every personality. Whether the pet is shy, elderly, anxious, or energetic, I can adapt. I also give every pet the love it deserves. Walks and cuddles. Not just “watching” but truly engaging. I am currently enrolled in school, so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your little guys. On weekends I am available all day and on weekdays I am available after 2:30pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine the same, giving them lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow all instructions, keep their space clean, and send photo updates so you always feel comfortable and informed.
“Desirea was exactly what we were looking for — someone to come check on our cat, give her some love, attention, and play time, and feed her in the morning. She even was willing to come over and meet me and my cat ahead of time to get to know us. She sent us pictures and was very easy to communicate with the whole time. We’ll definitely reach back out to her the next time we’re headed out of town!”
“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!”
“For some reason my cat didn’t want to come out for Sarah, but I believe she did everything I asked. She worked with my schedule and responded to requests. My door wasn’t fully closed when I got back, which was concerning but luckily no one got in or out, so this didn’t end up impacting the cat or security.”
About: I have helped out the community with my own local TNR groups! I have had my fair share of sassy cats and kittens. I also volunteered to help and support adults with disabilities on maintaining a clean and healthy environment for there pets!😆❤️
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two cats and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone for roughly 5 days. One of our cats has pretty bad anxiety but she made them feel companionship and peace. Jennifer was flexible and made the best of some occasional circumstances outside of her control too, definitely would strongly recommend!!”
“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”
“Hannah was great! She came out to meet our cat (and us) and get the run-down. Monkey seemed to like Hannah right away, which is weird for Monkey. Hannah was responsive throughout our trip and left the place spotless. I'll be happy to have Hannah cat-sit the next time our usual friend is unavailable - we are grateful she got us out of a tight spot this time!”
“Rita sent pictures and videos everyday as she cat sat for us. Our cat is not as anxious as she was when we left her alone over a weekend. She is still healthy and did not cling to us too much when we came home. I recommend Rita and will be looking to see if she's available first for future bookings!”
About: Hi, I’m Mary! I’m a Registered Dental Hygienist who pet sits on the side because I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals. Providing loving, reliable care for your pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to help families with their furry companions. I do have a busy schedule during the week, so if you are booking with me and need specific services, times, or hours, please be sure to communicate those details when making your booking request. My time is just as valuable as yours, and I’ve found that the app doesn’t always clearly communicate exact expectations. For example, a booking may show a broad time frame, such as 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, without specifying how long you actually need me there. To make sure we’re all on the same page and that I can provide the best care possible, please include any specific scheduling needs or expectations in your booking request. For safety and comfort, I am never alone during visits. My family members help me at all times. During a meet-and-greet, you may meet my sister, Abigail, or my partner, Coral. Depending on the situation, especially if a booking may be more challenging, my uncle may also assist. He always accompanies my sister when helping. We believe in maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for everyone involved, including your pets. Thank you so much for trusting me with your pets and for giving me the opportunity to care for them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! We can always talk when you are wanting to book with me, and we can see if our days will be able to correlate so that it works for your needs. I always show the animals love and just give them time to warm up. Most of the times my clients leave me notes and tasks to accomplish while they are away.
About: I grew up around dogs and horses. I love animals and getting outside. I am very attentive to the needs of pets and love working with special needs pets. I currently work at Stone Age Climbing Gym and am building a business in yoga and movement practice. I am flexible and love getting pets out during the day and hours that make it convenient for my clients. I offer whatever services are in need for a given pet and person and work with my clients to develop a plan of what that looks like. I send check ins and other updates to make you feel more comfortable.
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of a lot of furry friends. I recently moved to the city and i miss their faces. I have walked bathed and fed pets since I could walk! Let me help you take care of your bestfriends! I’m currently attending college and wanted a fun little side job. I take all my courses online therefore, other than planned appointments or meetings my schedule is very flexible to work with. I currently have two cats and a dog. Algodón Sal is my older adult cat, he’s definitely a mommas boy. Luna is a young adult long haired cat, she is beautiful. If the weather is good, I let them roam around freely in my backyard, they love hiding in the plants. Lastly, technically Benny is not my dog-he is my brothers-but i consistently take him on walks around the neighborhood or to the park. He’s very high energy so we usually do high intensity activities like fetch and running. Benny hurt his paw recently (nothing too serious) and I have been letting him rest with a couple days of therapy each week to get him back on his four little feet.
“Erika, Christian, and their pup Booker treated my miniature schnauzer like a member of their family! She stayed there for 4 nights recently and had the best time she's ever had while "on vacation"! Erika constantly sent pics and videos and truly gave my puppy the 5-star treatment. I would trust her with Piper anytime and feel so grateful to have found her!”
“Brittany was great! She was able to help out on short notice and was flexible. She was great with my dogs and communicating with me. This was my first time using Rover and everything was easy and went great. I would definitely ask for Brittany again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Algodones
About: As a life long pet owner, I have had great report with animals of all sizes. I have trained and enjoyed a kennel free environment. All my dogs have had happy lives and great disposition with kids and other animals. I will provide a safe and loving home for your dog where they will receive a ton of love and petting. I love that my dog will follow me around and look for any moment to get petting and affection; even will force my bathroom door open, knowing I am a captive audience. I look forward to doing the same for your pooch. I have walked dogs both short and long distances. Thank you for your consideration and look forward to meeting your family member (dog).
“Victoria took excellent care of our pug, Doug, for a day of daycare! She has an incredible back yard and keeps a close eye on the dogs playing with each other. I had no concerns while he was in her care, and she sent us great updates throughout the day! We will definitely use her again.”
About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.
“Michael was great with my dog Peanut, he was very professional; he walked my dog twice and sent timely pictures and behavior reports. I used his services twice in 2 days and my dog Peanut really likes him and I intend to use his services in the future.”
“Arysta was wonderful! She helped our puppy relax and enjoy her time with other dogs, and helped me relax ? on my trip without the worry of what my fur baby was doing. Thank you, Arysta.”

About: Hi\! I’m a dedicated dog lover with 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities\. Whether your pup needs a long walk, drop\-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to provide safe, reliable, and loving care\. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, refilling water, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress\-free\. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, energy level, and specific needs\. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities\. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away\. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend\! **My Availability** At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Since I’m currently between commitments, I’m able to accept both scheduled and last minute bookings whenever possible. This availability is temporary, so I’m excited to help as many pet owners as I can while my schedule is open. If you need a reliable and caring pet sitter or dog walker, I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.That’s why I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they’re surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. Staying in their own environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel more relaxed. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, make sure gates and doors are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and safe. I also take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine so they receive the best care possible. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I love building trust with every pet I meet and treating them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in the place they feel happiness your home.
“Brian is the absolute best! Hex did a wonderful job of making my anxious dog, Oslo, feel safe and calm. He opened his home to Oslo and gave him the freedom to be indoors or outdoors whenever he chose. Brian’s energy and interactions with Oslo made him feel so comfortable that my shy dog now loves going to Brian’s home.”
“Brian & Jerri love, love, love pups, all kinds & sizes and they have such an amazing big, backyard. They have a great setup for daycare and boarding, and they’re a great, kind couple. I look forward to booking my Rio with them many, many times.”
“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!”
“Lisa was absolutely lovely and my shy little dog was instantly comfortable with her. Lisa is very responsive given that I had a last-minute need for doggy daycare on an on a weekend day and she got back to me very quickly which I was grateful for. She has a kind, gentle demeanor, and from the videos she sent me, I got to see her adorable little poodle socializing with my pup. Maisie, my girl, clearly enjoyed it because het tail was wagging madly when they were together in the pictures and video. I’m so glad to have found Lisa and know that there’s someone really good in the New Rochelle Mamaroneck area”
“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!”
“Holly was great with Loki! She picked up on his occasional anti-social attitude toward other dogs and let him stay close to her where he is more comfortable. He seemed happy when I picked him up. They were very responsive with communication and easy to make an appointment with!”
“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.”
“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.”
“I contacted Shell at the last minute to pick up and drop off my dog. She agreed quickly, understood exactly what I needed, and most importantly, took excellent care of my little one. She was perfect! I’m so grateful to her for helping me. I will be contacting Shell first the next time I need a pet sitter. Thanks, Shell! Your kindness was greatly appreciated!”
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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Algodones
About: I am an avid animal lover and love my own dogs more than I like most people! I have watched and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members for at least ten years as a side job and just a hobby. I volunteer with a local animal shelter and walk their dogs at least once a week, and it’s the best time. I love interacting with animals and getting to be a part of their day. I work remotely, so I have my days and nights to walk, visit, and sit with your pet. They are my priority when I am with them and I love giving them all of my attention. You can expect your pets to be spoiled rotten while you are away. ❤️ My own two dogs have very different schedules. My 15 year old goes out potty at least every two to three hours and enjoys his short, but refreshing strolls. My 9 year old hates mornings and won’t probably leave the bedroom until much later. Her and I will go at least a couple miles on one of our walks and even then she’s not tired out! In my clients home, I always try to leave the home the way it is found after playing with your pet. I follow instructions to the letter when it comes to pet sitting, as I have had to care for senior dogs with special dietary and medical needs. If I have questions, I will always ask.
About: Ever since I can remember, I've had a furry friend by my side. I've had dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and birds. I'll be more than happy to hang out with whatever species your babies are! I work nights, so im available pretty much every day to check in on your pets and/or take them on a walk. I work nights, so I'm available from 9-4 for walks and drop-ins. Since I am new to rover, my schedule may change as I get the hang of it, but I will keep my profile updated! At this time, I will only be servicing pets in their own homes, as I have a reactive puppy in my own home that I am working on socializing. I will follow whatever house rules and requests you give me, just please be clear and concise! :)
About: I have dealt with every personality. Whether the pet is shy, elderly, anxious, or energetic, I can adapt. I also give every pet the love it deserves. Walks and cuddles. Not just “watching” but truly engaging. I am currently enrolled in school, so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your little guys. On weekends I am available all day and on weekdays I am available after 2:30pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine the same, giving them lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow all instructions, keep their space clean, and send photo updates so you always feel comfortable and informed.
About: I have taken care of many rescues and have housed many dogs and cats. I have always been the go to when it comes to watching people’s pets! I also enjoy long walks to the park! I am currently on break from school, and I only work part time in my day job! I am free in the mornings and at nights to assist with animal care! I can stay all day on the weekends and come see them for an early morning walk and be back by 4pm for another walk and some cuddles! I have three senior dogs! They all have arthritis and are very old so I’m not able to take them out for long walks, but I do push them in a wagon so they can get fresh air! One of my senior citizens is blind and deaf so having another dog around him might spook him, but I can watch the home and pet for you!😆❤️
About: I used to work for a company that did house soft and dog training. 12 years of animal experience. I will check on animals and attend to them no matter the circumstances. I used to be a dog trainer and can help teach many cues. I work during the day but during the night and weekends I can help. I work full time at an animal shelter as a behavior Specialist. I can care for the animals overnight and before and after work. If needed I can do an afternoon check in. I work from 9am to 6pm at my other job. I treat the clients pet like my own. I feed them and care for them. I want to build a relationship with them and make them feel safe.
“Luca has been my dog's walker for 6 months now. He is very caring and attentive and my dog Brigid loves him. He's always willing to adapt, whether it's to a new cat or impromptu vet visit.”
“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.”
About: I love all dogs of all breeds, I have taken care of all sizes and breeds for 5 years on and off. Animals are life. I'm currently working at home. Which allows me to be with my dogs every day and come and go as needed. I'm very flexible with the animals. I have a large fenced yard both front and back. I can be home at all times if needed for any reasons. My 2 dogs are very friendly.
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, from Yorkies to German Shepherds. Providing the love and care to other dogs while you’re away is my priority! To give you the peace of mind your fur baby is both physically and mentally stimulated during our time together. I am very active, love going on hikes and finding new parks in the area! I am in the end of my surgical residency making my schedule relatively flexible. While I am unable to have a dog of my own full time, I can care and love for others in the mean time! While I do live in an apartment, there is a park with walking trails right across the street that I walk daily. Staying active is an essential part of my life!
“Wow, I'm so happy with my Cygna while she was with Mariah !!! She pooped on the walk yay!!!! She is 14 months and she has made pooped 2 times on a leash when she was a puppy! ... 20 🌟 s!!!!!”
About: Hello! I’m Miranda and I love animals, I have volunteered at my local animal shelter for almost a year! I helped with dog walking, socializing the dogs with people and with community events to help the light shine over our animals. I’m going to be a substitute teacher for this next school year! During the summer I am wanting to stay active and make new furry friends along the way. I’ll be available during the weekends when the school year is in session, but I am also committed to work a schedule after school hours as well. I have a fenced yard and some sections of my yard have a separate fence so my small dog can explore without being close to the road. She has her own car seat on my vehicle. Volunteering at the animal shelter has helped me specialize in high anxiety dogs and very active big dogs.
About: Genuine fun loving animal person. Been in the caring and general services for most of my life, jack of most. Certified dog walker with KC Pet project volunteer program. Open schedule, currently doing gig delivery so out and about most days. Familiar with the area, honest trustworthy and caring. Routine is appreciated but temporary is doable as well. I understand the want and need of a pet and for them to be treated with respect and cared for as much as we care for our selves. Very understanding and here to help in anything you need help with for caring for your loved pet.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the responsibility that comes with caring for them. I currently walk my own dog several miles a day, often totaling a couple hundred miles each month. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, high-energy dogs, and maintaining steady, structured walks. As an Army veteran, I bring reliability, discipline, and consistency to every visit. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and respectful of your home. I understand that trust is everything when someone is caring for your dog, and I don’t take that lightly. For friendly, social dogs, I also offer the option of bringing my well-mannered Sheepadoodle, Curly, along for walks at no extra charge. He’s great with people and other dogs and can provide positive companionship and added exercise. This is always optional and only done with your approval after a proper introduction to ensure a good fit. Whether it’s an exercise-focused walk or a drop-in visit, your dog will be treated with patience, structure, and genuine care. Curly is with me almost 100% of the time — he’s truly part of my daily routine and always close by. We walk every day, and I make sure he gets consistent exercise, structure, and attention. He’s on a Hill’s Science Diet prescription food due to urinary tract issues, so I’m very strict about his diet to prevent kidney stones and keep him healthy. Managing his care has made me very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and health monitoring. Because of that, I understand how important consistency is. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and harness, monitor them closely for traffic, other dogs, or hazards, and adjust pace to each dog’s comfort and energy level. At home, I supervise interactions with Curly carefully, ensure doors and gates are always closed, and separate dogs when needed to maintain a calm, safe environment. I provide daily walks, structured routine, and plenty of attention. I follow each owner’s feeding schedule carefully and stick strictly to any dietary instructions, as I understand how important that is from managing my own dog Curly’s prescription diet.
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of a lot of furry friends. I recently moved to the city and i miss their faces. I have walked bathed and fed pets since I could walk! Let me help you take care of your bestfriends! I’m currently attending college and wanted a fun little side job. I take all my courses online therefore, other than planned appointments or meetings my schedule is very flexible to work with. I currently have two cats and a dog. Algodón Sal is my older adult cat, he’s definitely a mommas boy. Luna is a young adult long haired cat, she is beautiful. If the weather is good, I let them roam around freely in my backyard, they love hiding in the plants. Lastly, technically Benny is not my dog-he is my brothers-but i consistently take him on walks around the neighborhood or to the park. He’s very high energy so we usually do high intensity activities like fetch and running. Benny hurt his paw recently (nothing too serious) and I have been letting him rest with a couple days of therapy each week to get him back on his four little feet.
About: I’ve taken care of my senior dog for four years before she passed away. This includes feeding, bathing, brushing, meeting her potty needs and walking. I also pet sit for two dogs when their owner is out of town. I work for a restaurant during the morning or afternoon shift for roughly 6 hours. I can work in between those times and I only have one shift a day. (Some days are completely open!) I am very good about respecting spaces and following directions. I usually walk dogs twice a day around the neighborhood; however, I will follow whatever directions are given. I love giving attention to pets, especially dogs that need some extra care. Adopting my dog as a senior gave me a special love for all senior dogs!
About: I love animals and have taken care of dogs and cats of many different kinds for 15 years. As an owner of both a dog (Beary) and a cat (Fufu), I understand the different needs of both. I’m very attentive to feeding schedules, mood changes, and exercise needs. What sets me apart: Full Overnight Availability: I have reliable support for my own pets at home, which allows me to stay at your house overnight and focus entirely on your pets without needing to leave. Professional Trust: I am a regular, trusted dog walker for my therapist and neighbors in the local area. Observation Skills: I closely monitor behavior and eating habits to ensure every pet is healthy and happy. Clean & Respectful: As a student, I am quiet and organized. I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. I have a very structured and organized routine. Because I am taking mostly online courses, my schedule allows me plenty of time for drop-in or full time visits, and I have reliable support at home for my own pets, which gives me the freedom to stay overnight at your house without any distractions. I am punctual, dedicated, and stay highly communicative with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. I truly believe pets are family, and I take their care seriously, especially when it comes to patience, routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also a regular dog walker for my therapist and several neighbors in my local area, where I am known for being reliable and safety focused. When I’m in your home, I provide a calm, steady presence. I follow your house rules and routines exactly as you like them, and I prioritize keeping a clean and safe environment for your fur babies. My goal is to give you genuine peace of mind while you're away.
About: LATEST PUPDATE (MAY 2026): Starting the month of June, I'll be able to start accepting drop in & sitting requests again. Boarding requests (in our home) are still unavailable at this time, as our pup continues to focus on his rehab & recovery. We will update this accordingly & hopefully be back to hosting your furry loved ones as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience & understanding. Hi there, I'm Erika! A true dog lover at heart & someone who enjoys the outdoors just as much! I love going hiking with my furry friends or taking them on outings to some of Abq's nicest parks, ice cream joints, dog friendly stores/events, & much more. I enjoy keeping my friends active unless they're more of a couch potato, in which we could certainly cuddle up & watch Animal Planet or Paw Patrol all night. I grew up with several rescue dogs, from small to large, and breeds of all sorts. Therefore, I learned the responsibility of caring for and walking dogs at a very young age. I've also spent a lot of time fostering dogs from puppies to seniors & the shy timid ones that just need a little time to warm up. I'm a big lover of the working breeds & understand the special kind that they are. Regardless, I love anything with fur & paws & I treat all dogs with the love & care just as they are my own.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets..." I work for my self. I would love to get to know your dogs and cats I have plenty of time on my hands right now. I'm very respectful for other people's things, and I'll follow pet owners request and recommendations to take care of their home and pets.and if your pet likes a special treat please let me know. 😊

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maellen, she is my go-to when I need to board my dog. My dog is a very shy dog but has really come to trust Maellen and her husband. She loves their yard and all the walks! I look forward to booking Maellen in the future! She is amazing!”
“He was fantastic with our dog! Very caring and made sure our pup got walks and tons of play times. He included daily pictures of our pup. We will be using him every time in the future”
“Thank you Brian, for taking such great care of our dog. We would recommend you to anyone in need of boarding their dog. We look forward to using your services in the future.”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“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!”
“Brandi was an amazing choice when boarding Ace who hadn’t had a lot of time outside of the house. Ace loved her dog Aries and her kids as well! The kids didn’t want Ace to leave and loved on him the whole time, which made me so happy. She also has a lot of experience and taught him a couple new tricks while I was gone. She went above and beyond to learn about Ace and even had him sleep in a bigger crate than the one I brought, to ensure he was happy. Her whole family is the sweetest and I can’t wait to book with her again!!!”
“This was our second time leaving Ash with Jamie and Patrick, and they took wonderful care of her. We really enjoyed receiving photos of Ash having a great time while we were on vacation. Knowing she was happy and well cared for gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”

“As usual, Brian provided excellent care for my friend Nick the snickerdoodle the 5 nights he spent there. Nick is always happy to go to Brian's with the huge backyard and a cast of rotating paw pals that visit for the day or have sleepovers. Best of all for me is that Nick comes home tuckered out but happy.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my doggo! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog felt comfortable at her home with her loving care and attention. Sara also took the time to give my dog her daily supplements and treats. I really felt like Sara took care of my dog like her own pets--so loving! Thank you so much, Sara!!”
“Onrae was great. We left Ansel with him for just over a week and it really let us relax knowing he was in good hands. He sent several updates and pictures and was always quick to respond to messages and questions. He did a great job in trying to keep a good routine for the dog, and it seemed like Ansel loved playing with the kids and having a new environment to explore! Will definitely be looking to call him again in the future for our pet care needs!”
“Shell was wonderful with Koda. It was the first time we left him and he's only 5 months old. Shell showed him lots of love when we went for the meet and greet and he took to her right away and was very comfortable. He loved playing with the other pups at her house and every time we asked about him Shell was quick to respond and even sent a picture to ease my daughter's mind. We plan to have Shell watch Koda again.”
