“Debbie was the perfect sitter for my dog. She was very responsive from inquiry and meet and greet to booking through boarding and pickup. She treated My dog like one of her own. My dog who is normally nervous when meeting new people and dogs took right to Debbie and her dogs. Whether looking for boarding or just day care I would recommend her. I will be using her services in the future. Thanks Debbie for taking care of BeBe!”
“My dog has never been happier staying with someone. The entire experience increased her ability to socialize with dogs and people so much so that she's been calmer and more confident after the stay.”
“Esperita was very good and very accommodating. we had to leave early at the last minute and Esperita took the dogs one day early without hesitation. She even changed the booking so all we had to do was accept which made it easy on us. She also took pictures of the dogs and wrote to us every day telling us what they did that day and how they were doing. We will definitely use Esperita again.”
“Such an amazing sitter Rebecca went out of her way to help me and my boy Mugzie. She kept me updated and Mugzie seemed to be very comfortable definitely 5 star!”
“Bonnie is amazing! Charlie loves her and is excited to go stay with her. She takes care with all the dogs she watches and she is also quick to respond to me. I'd recommend to anyone. Our dog is in good hands with her.”
“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”
“Coco loves staying with Maellen and her family! I love that I receive photos and videos, but can stay worry free while I am away. Thank you for taking such good care of Coco.”
“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!”
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.

“Marissa has watched Hera 3 times now and it has always gone great, my dog always seems to have lots of fun with hers. Marrisa has been very accommodating with last minute plans of mine or changes to my schedule and I know my dog is happy and safe with her. I have no doubt I’ll be contacting her again the next time I go away without my dog.”
“My pup had a great time with Josie, her husband and especially their dog Paco. I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”
“A great sitter for our pup! She boarded with Onrae for 8 nights and was well cared for during her stay! We received pix and videos often while we were gone, which was reassuring for us as we had not left her before. Cali says, "Thanks, Onrae, for the great care!!"”
“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”
“Jamie did a wonderful job taking care of my three dogs! She was kind, communicative, and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. I picked up happy, relaxed pups, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly appreciate the care she gave them and would definitely book with her again!”
“Auntie Pat, as my pup Frida and I call her, is fantastic! Can't say or write enough great things about her. My only fear is that too many people will find out about her and then she'll be booked up for life! So shhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!”

“awesome sitter! I would highly recommend her. She cares about the animals, goes the extra mile and is very reasonably priced. I'm sure my pup will love to come back as many times as necessary!”

“Our 2 cats met Emily last week and then she completed drop in visits for 4 days. While we were away, I looked forward to reading her daily summary which showed her building a connection with each pet. She gave us the peace of mind that our kitties are in good hands. It means a lot that she's learning their quirks and what works well.”
“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!!”
“Rita was amazing! I have a diabetic cat, and this was the first time I left her with a sitter. Rita completely put my mind at ease. She sent me twice daily updates and pictures.

I will completely follow any instructions provided by the pet owners in order to supply the utmost level of care and upkeep that the pets require.
“This was the best experience ever. Erich is a clear professional and is extremely knowledgeable about animals. I am very thankful to have found him. Thank you Erich!”
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've had cats most of my adult life, most of which were rescues. I've fostered cats in the past and can usually get even the most timid kitties to warm up to me. I'd love to give your fur babies love and pets while you're away.

About: Hi, I’m Renee—your cat’s new favorite human (even if they pretend not to care). 🐈⬛ I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life—from lap-loving purr machines to fiercely independent under-the-bed dwellers. I admire their perceptiveness, their independence, and their ability to set boundaries without apology. Cats don’t need constant attention, and I respect that. But when they do want affection, I’m all in—whether it’s petting, playtime, or just sitting quietly nearby. I’m completely comfortable with litter box duty, giving medications, and tuning into the subtle cues that tell you when something’s off. I believe cats are family, and I care for them with the same gentleness and respect I’d want for my own. Whether your kitty is social, shy, spicy, or somewhere in between—I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved.
“Lorenzo is the best. He is very kind and allows my pets to be themselves. I needed immediate help and he was ready the day of my emergency. He given us hope, I never knew this kind of care was available. My pets are together, and they've grown to know their surroundings there. I will be happy after our pets stay to recommend and use his services again. He is very understanding with pet visits and updates. If ever in need of a kind loving home for your pet, I would say he is very reliable and easygoing. Definately what we needed.”
About: From fostering a Great Dane and her seven puppies to caring for my own aging dog sick with cancer, I can care for animals at any stage. I’m newish on Rover, but I have been traveling and pet sitting all over the country, so my reviews are on Trusted House Sitter for reference. I look forward to chatting! I work during the week and remotely at times, so I have flexibility to accommodate any schedule. I have a car and can transport wherever. It’s just me and my dog in my apartment, but we have a first floor with a small yard out front that Kesey likes to sunbathe in. All the neighbors stop and say hello.

“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!”
“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
“Paul & his wife are the best caretakers I’ve had. Our dog, Grey, loved them because they loved her like she was their own. Thank you very much, Guys! A+++”
“Mabel was very happy to be left with Onrae for a few hours, which isn't always the case with sitters. But dogs are a good judge of character, right? All went well and Onrae was an excellent communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
“Amber was amazing! She was incredibly responsive and was able to take my dog last minute, which I really appreciated. She kept me updated with photos throughout, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend and would happily book with her again!”
“I was visiting town and needed a last-minute dog daycare option, and she was fantastic. She was very responsive and took the time to meet me and my pup beforehand, which made me feel comfortable right away. My pup was tired from the day and all the activities, but she handled her with both care and confidence. She quickly became part of the pack, played with the other dogs, and came back happily exhausted. She also sent photos and text updates, which I really appreciated. I especially liked how attentive she was with my pup’s prescribed medication. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was safe, cared for, and having a great time while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
“5+ stars! Spencer was an excellent sitter for our dog Luna! He was incredibly flexible, had great communication and took very good care of Luna. We left her with him 3 different days while visiting Maine and we could tell that she had a great time and enjoyed her stay with Spencer and Buster! She was always happy and very tired when we picked her up so I know that she was well taken care of, stayed active and was very loved! We highly recommend Spencer as a Rover sitter and will 100 percent use him again if we ever return to Brunswick! :) Thank you Spencer and Buster! Buster was a cutie and Luna got along with him very well btw! :)”
About: I have a true passion for caring for pets and always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for each one. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and respect for every pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a playful dog or an independent cat, they always receive love, personalized care, and genuine companionship—because to me, they’re not just pets, they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I carefully organize my time to ensure punctual feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and quality time with each pet. I am committed to maintaining clear and consistent communication with pet owners and to following all care instructions closely. Responsibility and consistency are very important to me, and I always prioritize the well-being, safety, and peace of mind of the pets in my care. When I care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I carefully follow their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, hygiene, and rest. I provide a clean, calm, and well-supervised environment at all times. I also pay close attention to their behavior and emotional needs, offering companionship, affection, and patience. I always respect the owners’ instructions and maintain clear communication so they feel at ease while they’re away.

Finding one’s self with little to do after retirement, caring for animals just fit in so well and what a stress reliever these fur babies are. 😄 I have double fenced in areas, with all sizes of houses. My preference is to care for animals in their own environments. They are Less stressed at home.😉

I have a fully trained Belgian Malinois and a sweet Siamese cat, both of whom are my babies. I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care. If your dog pulls on the leash, that's not a problem at all! I'm tall and strong, and I'm confident in my ability to handle even the most determined pups. With your permission, I can also incorporate some proven training exercises from professional trainers to help improve their leash manners. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely love and have plenty of experience with. Animals are so pure and full of love, and I strive to be the kind of person they deserve.

About: I am a former zookeeper and I have a couple of years experience in veternary care. I’ve had animals of all kinds my entire life. I live with my husband and we both love spending time with animals. I work for the film industry and would love to pet sit your pet while I’m in between jobs. Productions have slowed down a lot over the past few years, so I have time currently. I have a larger fenced in yard that can actually be divided into 2 separate yards. Pets are allowed on our furniture and encouraged to sleep in the bedroom with us at night.

I have worked in vet offices... I am in close contact with many of my veterinary friends ... So if I have a concern I'm going to go straight to the top to insure the best care for your pet. Must love dogs!! Because I do ❤️ I guarantee I'll treat your dog like one of my own. I'm am free to dedicate a part of my day for your furbaby. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. It would be my pleasure to serve your needs! I am extremely careful when it comes to my pet's safety and yours as well. I am familiar with using leash techniques to prevent escape by utilizing fencing and confidence and rewards so your pet and I trust each other. Like my own.

“This is my first time using Rover and I am happy with the service. I met Emily W., she watch my 8 week puppy Wrigley. Emily was wonderful, she took care of Wrigley as if she was her own. I am grateful to Emily. Thank you!! I will most definitely book with Emily again.”
About: If there's anything that I can brighten my day, it's seeing a happy dog! Since I was young I have always had a soft heart for all animals. I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, and I will advocate for them however I can. I have cared for many dogs of my own over the years, as well as for others. Your fur babies will get as much love as I give my own. Caring for animals has always brought me a deep sense of comfort and joy. I especially enjoy supporting senior pets or those who need a little extra attention, patience, and care. I recently lost my beloved dog of 15 years to cutaneous lymphoma, which required attentive, around-the-clock care, including carefully timed medications and a thoughtfully managed diet tailored to his health needs. He was truly a member of my family, and his loss has left a significant space in my life—one of the reasons I’ve chosen to join Rover. I’m very attentive, protective, and detail-oriented when it comes to an animal’s well-being. My experience has also led me to learn extensively about canine health, particularly cancer prevention and supportive care. Caring for animals is important to me, as I know completely how worrisome it can be to give your baby to someone else and hope they get the same love and care. I have always been very cautious with my pets in any situation and this is one of the reasons I joined Rover. I understand the nervousness of giving someone else the responsibility of your beloved pet, and if I can be that relief to someone else then I would love to! The attention, detail, and care I put into them reflects my fees. Since my dog has passed, I truly miss the simple joys of daily walks and spending time outside with a dog, and I look forward to providing loving, reliable care for yours. I currently work on a project basis and have full availability, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care, walks, and play. I don’t have other pets, so your dog will receive my full attention and care. I’m home most of the day, providing a calm and consistent environment. I also enjoy taking walks, especially when visiting family in the Four Hills area, which offers great opportunities for outdoor time. I do go to the gym regularly, but I’m typically only away for about an hour, ensuring your pet is never left alone for extended periods. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs so I can keep their experience as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications and any special requests. I’m attentive to details, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and provide regular updates so you feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I have also been accepted as an APS substitute teacher, so I have passed an extensive background check. Along with dog sitting, my background also includes a professional career in the film industry, teaching English in Spain with families, and caring for a farm in Hawaii. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, secure environment with plenty of supervision, comfort, and affection. I ensure pets have a safe space to relax, access to fresh water, and appropriate exercise and enrichment based on their energy level and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I’m mindful during walks (leash safety, surroundings, avoiding hazards), and I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior or higher-needs pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine care.

“Emily is an amazing pet care giver. She reliably walked and/ or played with my dog for two weeks. She was very patient with him in the beginning as they got to know one another and now they are best buds. She updated me daily on his care and habits. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”

“I’ve been working with Erich for the past week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! He has been a huge help in improving my dog Cosmo's behavior on walks. Erich has gone above and beyond in not only walking Cosmo but also helping with little training moments that have already made a noticeable difference. He’s incredibly communicative and always keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about Cosmo’s well-being. I’ve loved working with him and will definitely continue scheduling with Erich moving forward!”

About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take good care of their pets and were never disappointed and could always depend on me. They gladly referred me to others for their pet sitting and house sitting needs. I have always enjoyed playing with pets of all kinds.i have experience caring for horses, cats, chickens, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, plants, etc. I have grown up with animals and just love having the furry companions around. I enjoy walking dogs and checking in on pets for clients who ask me to check on them. I like to play and cuddle with pets.
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.
About: I am a former zookeeper and I have a couple of years experience in veternary care. I’ve had animals of all kinds my entire life. I live with my husband and we both love spending time with animals. I work for the film industry and would love to pet sit your pet while I’m in between jobs. Productions have slowed down a lot over the past few years, so I have time currently. I have a larger fenced in yard that can actually be divided into 2 separate yards. Pets are allowed on our furniture and encouraged to sleep in the bedroom with us at night.
“Our two dogs took an immediate liking to Spencer, including our one dog who is picky about who he likes depending on their vibe! Spencer took some great photos even though it was just a short walk! I look forward to our dogs spending more time with Spencer in the future!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, from yorkies to German shepherds. I am unable to commit full to have a dog of my own just yet, but still want to provide the love and care to other dogs.

About: With a mother who works as a vet tech and a household full of elderly dogs, I’ve learned to spot subtle changes in behavior, administer medications with care, and handle everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of a blind senior dog. I’ve been pet sitting since high school, caring for cats, dogs, horses, and farm animals—and I treat every animal like the innocent soul they are. As a mom of five, I’m no stranger to messes, and I genuinely don’t mind the less glamorous parts of pet care—poop scooping, litter box cleaning, or giving meds. I believe animals are family, and I show up with patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing spirit every time. Whether your pet is playful, shy, aging, or in need of extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of flexibility in my schedule during the week, so most of the time I can attend to your pet with very short notice and flexible hours. While weekends are typically reserved for family time, I may be able to make exceptions with a little more advanced notice than what I would need on weekdays. I have no barriers to early morning check-ins. I care for pets in their homes, acknowledging that it is their space and not mine and as a homeowner myself, I will treat your property with the upmost respect. I will use any information you share with me about your pet’s likes and dislikes and dos/don’ts in regard to your home space to make sure that your animal is comfortable and given consistency that matches their regular routine.

About: Ive taken care of my dog and other clients dogs for the past 2 years and I'd love to provide a good service for people like me that love animals. Pet care is something I take seriously. I love animals and i want to be able to take care of people's pets like I take care of my pet. At my home my boy gets plenty of walks and I'll occasionally cook him a good meal.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for others for over a decade. I'm currently childless and can work from my laptop anywhere on a flexible schedule. I have maximum flexibility to meet needs you may have. Please note: continuous all day care in your home is my default service and my price reflects that. I'm primarily a vacation sitter and book only one client at a time. If you book my nightly rate I guarantee 18 out of the 24 hours in the day will be at your home with your pet(s). If you want to get price down and are in Albuquerque I might suggest booking my drop in services or discussing with me your expectations for hours so we can get to a price that works for us both. I also may lower price charged for each additional pet depending on pet's energy level and needs. For example, if you have a second or third dog that mostly sleep all day can lower the price extra for each extra dog fee. I'm an avid outdoor hiker and walker so even high energy pups are good with me. I also take care of your home and pets as if they were my own. Golden rule. For house sitting, I have 60 mile radius I work in with -includes ABQ and Sante Fe. I'm available to pet sit in your home while working from home day hours starting early morning M-F if your home is conducive for me to do so and generally stay overnight unless you'd like me not to. I need a table wifi, and ac for working. I can do drop in visits if you are ten minute drive from me during M-F as well. On Saturday and Sunday I am fully available for your pets unless I have made plans or am traveling myself. For spending night in your home, I am respectful of your privacy and only go in bedrooms for sleep and can wash the sheets for when you get back. If you don't want me in bedroom and have a comfy couch I am fine with that too. I can care for pets in your home where they are most at ease. I am not able to board at my home because of my HOA :(
About: From fostering a Great Dane and her seven puppies to caring for my own aging dog sick with cancer, I can care for animals at any stage. I’m newish on Rover, but I have been traveling and pet sitting all over the country, so my reviews are on Trusted House Sitter for reference. I look forward to chatting! I work during the week and remotely at times, so I have flexibility to accommodate any schedule. I have a car and can transport wherever. It’s just me and my dog in my apartment, but we have a first floor with a small yard out front that Kesey likes to sunbathe in. All the neighbors stop and say hello.
About: I worked at the Albuquerque BioPark zoo for 5 years taking care of many types of animals. My time there has made me passionate about providing the highest quality animal care and enrichment. I make it my goal to give your pets a stay-cation while you vacation or work! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, and also small animals, birds, and barn animals. I am especially good with elder pets and am familiar with their mobility and medication requirements. I currently dog-walk and pet-sit full time so I’ll be able to provide lots of care and attention during the day/evenings. I usually only leave the pets for a few hours at a time and can adjust this to fit your schedule. I usually do not care for pets in my home. I believe that by staying in your home and keeping pets in their usual routines, they thrive the best.

“Debbie was the perfect sitter for my dog. She was very responsive from inquiry and meet and greet to booking through boarding and pickup. She treated My dog like one of her own.

I will be using her services in the future. Thanks Debbie for taking care of BeBe!”

“Esperita was very good and very accommodating. we had to leave early at the last minute and Esperita took the dogs one day early without hesitation.
