“Maellen was amazing with my dog Luna. Luna is very afraid of new people but warmed up to Maellen very quickly. She loved all the walks and love Maellen gave her! I will definitely book her for any and all future trips. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Great people to take care of your dog. She sent me pictures on a daily basis so I could see that Ivy was enjoying herself. I intend to use her in the future. Thank you Victoria”
“Brian and Jerri took such great care of our older girl! They are incredibly communicative, kind, and truly love doggos. Our pup is older and needs extra TLC including medicine and more specific care guidelines, and they were more than happy to accommodate and take the extra care of her. We would gladly use them again for our fur babies. Thank you both so much!”

“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 has been great with our dog. We’ve left him with her several times and he always comes home so calm and happy. I have no doubt he is super loved and well cared for when at her home.”
“Bonni is Murphy’s home away from home. Bonni takes great care of Murphy. Murphy especially likes being around other dogs and is very comfortable and happy at Bonni’s. Murphy requires daily medication and Bonni can be trusted to give Murphy her medication and treat her as if she were he own.”

“I just want to give a big thank you to Chad for accepting my last-minute request to watch my dog, Luna. It meant so much to know she was in good hands, especially on such short notice. I truly appreciate your time and the care you gave her. Thank you again for being available.”

Cat caregivers near you - Algodones
“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.”
“Sara did amazing and well exceeded my expectations for the care of my cats! She gave great updates and sent wonderful pictures. Would love to have her take care of my cats again.”
“No complaints. Cindy did everything I requested. She had to go above and beyond to find Blitzen. I had her look in all the rooms he could have scurried into before we left as she couldn't find him. He finally made an appearance the next day - the little imp.”
“"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.”
“Sheyenne was wonderful! She took really great pictures and it was very easy to see how happy my cat was! It was great knowing that he had a good friend while I was out of town!”
“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.”
“Leaving our cats and dog with someone new made me nervous, but Luca completely exceeded my expectations. Luca came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and asked questions about our cats and dog's routine. Luca sent multiple photos daily, giving total peace of mind. I highly recommend and will absolutely booking again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Travis did a wonderful job with Mogwai, my giant rabbit child. He provided daily updates and some pictures. I felt Mogwai was in great hands and I came home to a well kept living area. I would absolutely rebook with Travis and recommend!”
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 have 24 years of experience taking care of animals. Most of it personal. I do have almost 3 years of professional pet care. I currently work at a grooming assistant/groomer. I am trained in administration of all sorts of medications including administration of insulin. Best number to reach me will be the 505 number. I no longer have the 972 area code in service and I can't remove it for some reason. I am currently a grooming assistant/groomer and currently working friday-tuesday from 9:30-5:30. Occasionally days tend to get canceled, run longer, or even shorter. Most of the times it depends on how the pet does and how many pets there are in a day. For the safety of your pets I would recommend I stay at your home as one of my dogs can be aggressive/reactive with new dogs. Should there be no other options my dog is kennel trained and can be in his kennel and alternate turns getting attention and going outside. I have a fenced backyard but will take pet on leashed walks around the neighborhood or have supervised playtime in the yard.
“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!”
About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Algodones
“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: 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).
“First time using a pup sitter, so definitely first time using Rover. It went great, especially since it was a last minute needed booking. Michael was just great with Rio! Thank you, Michael”
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.

“FIRST TIME USING THEM ….. AND THEY WERE GREAT SITTERS ….WILL USE AGIAN …. Love that they kept us informed and updated of there stay 5stars all day long …. Love Thor and Red”
“Madelyn was fantastic. She was flexible and easy to communicate with, and she took great care of our pup. If we're in Santa Fe again we won't hesitate to book her again! Thanks Madelyn!”
“Brian was fantastic! His house is set up for dog play and he obviously loves all the dogs he takes care of. Teddy was happily exhausted when I picked him up. Brian was flexible with me on pick-up and drop-off times which was very helpful. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a safe fun place to leave their dog!!”
“Absolutely the best sitter I've ever had! My dog can be a handful, but Arysta handes him with grace and a smile. He always comes home exhausted from all the fun he has. The only sitter I'll ever use”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, and I have trained puppies to learn basic obedience along with tricks. I have pet-sat for family members before, and I love taking dogs for walks. I am home for the summer, from college, so I will have plenty of time to walk dogs and take care of them at home. I have a fenced in yard, and 3 friendly dogs that can keep your dog company. We have a dog door that leads from the inside of our house to the backyard, so they are free to go outside whenever they want.
“Rita was great and super welcoming. My dog looked like he had a great day with her, she had other pups there so it was even better so he’d be with company. Her updates were great and she’s super flexible with her schedule. Overall was a great first experience with rover.”
“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!”
“Christina is a very thoughtful sitter! She has a great set up. Extra dog crates, a gate before the door so no one runs out, covered couch she lets the dogs up on, and a good little yard. My dog had a blast playing with her and other dog she was watching. We were delayed in our travels and she was very flexible! Told me not to rush and sent a ton of pictures letting me know Lyra was having a good time. She even let me book last minute with a quick meet and greet the night before. Thanks Christina!”
“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.”
“First time using Rover and Shell provided a great experience for me and my dog! She was very responsive to messages during pick up and drop off. My dog was super happy by the end of the day and had a great time running around with some of the other dogs. He was more than happy to come back for another day of fun a couple days later, making a beeline for the house whereas during the Meet and Greet he was much more reserved and cautious. Happy and tired dog at the end of the day makes our nights easier, and we look forward to more fun times at Shells daycare soon!”
“Remy had so much fun at doggy day care with Venise! She is so sweet and loving with the pups and has a nice spacious home & yard for them to play. We are so happy we found Venise and will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Kimberly was easy to book a Meet and Greet and also my Doggy Day Care. Going back to the office more, I felt bad leaving Sadie home all day by herself, so I figured a play day every now and then help. But I was worried, because Sadie has lots of energy and just wants to play when she's with other dogs. Kimberly made me feel very comfortable letting Sadie stay with her. My Sadie must have played hard with her Ridgebacks because she was exhausted when I got her home. She only got up to eat and back to sleep. Haha. Just what I wanted. Kimberly even gave her a homemade doggie popsicle, which she seemed to love. I would definitely book again. Thanks Kimberly!”

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 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.
“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.”
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'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: 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: 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.
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’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.

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.

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.

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.

You will not have to worry.

“Maellen was amazing with my dog Luna. Luna is very afraid of new people but warmed up to Maellen very quickly. She loved all the walks and love Maellen gave her! I will definitely book her for any and all future trips. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Great people to take care of your dog. She sent me pictures on a daily basis so I could see that Ivy was enjoying herself. I intend to use her in the future. Thank you Victoria”
“Brian and Jerri took such great care of our older girl! They are incredibly communicative, kind, and truly love doggos. Our pup is older and needs extra TLC including medicine and more specific care guidelines, and they were more than happy to accommodate and take the extra care of her. We would gladly use them again for our fur babies. Thank you both so much!”
“Misty, our German Shepherd had a great time running around at Jessie’s for 5 days. Jessie did a great job of keeping us informed with daily updates and pictures of the dogs having fun. Thank you again!”
“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!”

About: I've cared for my friends' pets for over 10 years, both in my own home and doing home visits. I currently have two dogs, one of whom is a special needs chihuahua. I'm comfortable with administering medication, various special needs, and senior dogs. I work from home and have very flexible hours. Whether you decide to board your pet or have me do home visits, I look forward to caring for your pet as you would. I have a fenced in yard that's completely secure. Because I work from home, I'm with my own dogs most of the day. If you decide to board your pet with us they will get more than plenty of social time as well as time with me.
“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!”
“We just moved to the area, and needed a new rover sitter for a couple day trip. We made a couple changes to the itinerary as we went, and Esperita was incredibly accommodating. It is overwhelmingly apparent to us that Espirta cares for the animals we trust her with immensely, and we would not hesitate to use her again.”
