“Debbie took great care of our dog Cooper while we were away for over a week. She sent via text a daily update & picture of Cooper to let us know how Cooper was doing. In the past, we always had to put Cooper in a boarding kennel where he would be caged. It was hard for us particularly because we knew his separation anxiety would make him upset and miserable. We are so glad that we found Debbie this time and that she was willing to watch Cooper at her house despite knowing Cooper's history. Debbie and her two labs made Cooper feel very welcome. We will certainly use Debbie's service again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loving and caring dog sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable pet lover. Since becoming an adult, I’ve been a devoted cat owner, and caring for my cat has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every pet has their own unique personality. After my husband and I started our family, we welcomed our own dog into our home. Caring for both a dog and a cat every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, and recognizing different behaviors and needs. My husband is a retired U.S. Air Force veteran, and together we have built a stable, loving, and pet-friendly home. We understand that trusting someone else with your beloved pet is a big decision, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our goal is to provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where every pet feels loved and at home. I believe pets are family, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, or administering medication when needed, I’ll make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Because I believe every pet deserves individualized attention, I only accept the number of pets that I can safely and responsibly care for. My priority is always providing quality care—not just supervision. I would be honored to care for your furry family member as if they were one of my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding, I make sure every pet gets the time, exercise, and attention they need. I respond to messages promptly and will do my best to accommodate your preferred schedule whenever possible. My husband and I have a stable, pet-friendly home where pets are treated like family. We currently have one friendly dog and one cat, so I’m experienced in caring for animals with different personalities and routines. I always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any special care requests. I introduce pets thoughtfully, prioritize their comfort and safety, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Karen has been wonderful the times that I’ve used her. She keeps me updated daily sometimes multiple times in a day with pictures of a very happy dog. I am very grateful for that. I also like that she tells a story with the pictures. I highly recommend Karen.”
“Rosalia was amazing! She kept me updated all day with messages & tons of cute pictures. My dog looked happy and loved all the cuddles given to her. Her dog Kiki was such a good girl too, she didn't mind sharing the attention. If I lived in Albuquerque, I'd totally book Rosalia everytime!”
“It’s scary to leave your pet with someone you don’t know but Miranda was so nice and answered all my questions so I felt more at ease leaving Fred in her care. She sent plenty of pictures and was ok with me texting to check in whenever I got worried. Fred was clean and happy when we picked him up. It was midday so she even picked him up and brought him to the car so he wouldn’t burn his paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to put Fred in her care again if needed.”
“Jacqulyn is a great sitter! She sent lots of pics and my pups (one of whom is a senior citizen ?) were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range in animals such as dogs,cats,fish,reptiles,rabits,and even senior animals.I love caring for animals and giving them a better life.Im a quick learner and can adjust to your babies needs. I have my own animals and some free time what better way to use that free time than to help care for others animals while they’re busy or away:) I have a 2.5 acre fenced yard and two sweet fur babies to keep your fur babies company,If you need them crated,or any routine/anything they need to take I can do so.I do own 3 cats and 2 dogs so if your baby is cat friendly,bring em over:)
“Stephanie was great with my Poochie. She took care of him as her own. He seemed to be comfortable and at home while being watched, which gave me peace of mind, I will be using her again my next weekend out of town! 🥰”
“The best sitters! They are wonderful caregivers and provide awesome photos and reassurance for the families. Our canine family member will stay with them as much as circumstances permit.”
“Five stars all the way for Lorenzo and his pet sitting services! From the moment I reached out, Lorenzo exuded professionalism and genuine care for my furry baby. His attention to detail and commitment to providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets is truly commendable. Not only did he adhere to all of my instructions regarding feeding and exercise, but he also went above and beyond to ensure my pet felt loved and cherished in my absence. Lorenzo’s updates and photos throughout my trip provided peace of mind, allowing me to relax and enjoy my time away knowing my pet was in capable hands. I highly recommend Lorenzo for anyone seeking top-notch pet sitting services. You won’t find anyone better!”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
About: I have lived with at least 2 dogs in my household for the past 20 years. Providing them with the opportunities to live fulfilling and healthy lives has been my priority. Although I am their caregiver, I consider them also to be my teachers. Learning how to communicate with them is the best way to ensure they are happy and calm, and that they feel safe. I am currently retired and spend quite a bit of time at the dog park. My dog and I are mostly inseparable. I take him with me to run errands when I can. It isn't always practical and so he minds the house when I am away. Barney is my only companion, and, even though I'm kind of a loner, Barney is NOT. He is extremely friendly and social and craves the company of other dog;, that factors into my decision to care for other dogs in my home. Barney will help me keep your dog comfortable and happy while in our care. We have a fenced back yard (4 foot). The surrounding properties have no dogs at this time. If your dog can jump a 4 foot fence, this may not be the safest home for him or her.
“Cheri was great!! She gave Dax time to get used to her house before introducing him to her precious dog. She sent pics and updated me when I picked Dax up. I was running late and she was very gracious about that.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 24 Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets... I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I walk my dogs 2 times a day no matter what I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company.I can easily crate your dog if needed... Usually never like to crate tho
About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. Dogs and cats mostly, with this I am aware of how much love and care goes into taking care of our little fur babies. I have had 5 cats and 4 dogs in my entire 24 years of life. I am not scared to play with them if they want, I will give unconditional love to your fur babies like they are my own. I am not a licensed trainer or anything of those sorts, but I am compassionate for animals, and they will be in good hands with me. I am currently able to play with your babies whenever you need and they need! I am currently going to school to become a teacher and also working part-time. So, whenever you need me, I will communicate with you! My two cats are fed daily, given water, freedom to run around and play in my apartment. I love them unconditionally and they are always my top priority. I will do the same for your furbabies.
About: Here's a bio you can drop straight into Rover — written to lead with trust and play up your small-dog experience: --- Hi, I'm Gaby! Your dog will feel like part of the family the moment they walk in. I share my home with three schnauzers, so I've spent years fluent in the small-dog world — the big personalities, the specific quirks, the way a little dog just wants to be in the middle of everything. That's exactly what I'll bring to your pup. I'm based in Mesa Del Sol and offer boarding and dog walking, with a focus on small dogs who'll fit right in with my crew. Your dog won't be a lonely guest, they'll have three friendly companions, a cozy spot to settle, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My large patio is great for supervised outdoor time, and I build in regular walks so everyone gets their exercise and sniffs in. What you can count on: frequent photo and video updates, a consistent daily routine, and honest communication about how your dog's doing. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I treat every dog like I'd want mine treated when I'm away. Have a pup with special routines, medications, or a shy streak? Just tell me — I'm happy to work with! Yes! My husband and I are a duo/team. I go on long walks in the morning to Tucker out the pups before heading to work. Then my husband watches them and takes them out for a mid day stroll (temperature willing) before I return home at 3 pm. Weather/temperature allowing I take the dogs on 1-3 mile walks once I am home. I love to play with the animals as it brings me joy. I find happiness in providing attention and time to your best friend. The apartment is completely safe and will receive many walks along with play time in the park.
“Iris and her family were amazing! Great communication prior to and during the entire stay, and she sent photos of our dogs daily. She was flexible when we decided to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”

“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. She was knowledgeable about giving my cat her insulin injections, and she took perfect care of my cat while I was gone. I 100% recommend Rita, and I look forward to booking with her again.”
“Danny did a great job taking care of our home, adult cat, and kitten. I’m not sure the cats even noticed we were gone, and the house was in a better state than we left it. Our time away was so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the check-ins and pictures. We’ll definitely use Danny again the next time we travel.”
“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”

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.

About: Me and my husband got our rescue dog in 2021. We were able to make him adapt our lifestyle and trust us and helped him with anxiety issues from separations and some random environmental triggers. Our dog is sweet and gentle, we were able to train him for 10+ tricks and be gentle to small and or young creatures. I also volunteer at Animal humane NM to help dogs getting comfortable with human interactions and building confidence I work hybrid so not every week days are wfh at the moment. We walk our dog twice a day and we have a big dog park and field that might fit for different dog needs. We have a back yard so dogs can play there as well Our house is on a quiet street with back yard fenced. Super nice area with big dog park and fields. I LOVE ALL DOGS, and all of them will get more than enough attention from me
“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!!!!”
About: Hello, my name is Tabatha and I started pet-sitting for my aunt and her 7 cats when I was 14. I am now 35, and she now has one doggy that I continue to care for. I always enjoy the time I am able to spend with different animals as a pet sitter. I grew up in a rented home and wasn't able to have my own pets until I was 16. At 16 I was adopted by a beautiful tuxedo tom cat named "Moo." I had 15 wonderful years with my baby. My partner and I just adopted a stray kitten we found. Her name is Sprout. She is playful, but not aggressive. We are currently having clients do a meet and greet with her at our place before accepting any boarding requests. I've been a volunteer at the Albuquerque Eastside shelter, and I am looking forward to volunteering there soon, and at some point Walking in Circles Ranch. I have taken an animal first aid course with the Red Cross and hope to further that knowledge more this year. I have experience with small pets like mice, guinea pigs, and hedgehogs. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats. I also pet/house sit regularly for multiple-pet homes. PLEASE NOTE: During the summer, I do not walk dogs on city streets between the hours of 10 am and 8 pm. It gets too hot for me and the pups. I don't mind taking them to a park though! When house-sitting I prefer to have a visual walk through of procedures and also written instructions. I follow orders exactly and contact owners if there are any questions. I send pictures often of pets. I keep homes and animal areas as they were when owners left. I am also comfortable administering medications.

About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.

“Debbie took great care of our dog Cooper while we were away for over a week. She sent via text a daily update & picture of Cooper to let us know how Cooper was doing. In the past, we always had to put Cooper in a boarding kennel where he would be caged. It was hard for us particularly because we knew his separation anxiety would make him upset and miserable. We are so glad that we found Debbie this time and that she was willing to watch Cooper at her house despite knowing Cooper's history. Debbie and her two labs made Cooper feel very welcome. We will certainly use Debbie's service again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a loving and caring dog sitter.”

Since becoming an adult, I’ve been a devoted cat owner, and caring for my cat has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every pet has their own unique personality.

Caring for both a dog and a cat every day has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, cleaning up after pets, and recognizing different behaviors and needs.

“Karen has been wonderful the times that I’ve used her. She keeps me updated daily sometimes multiple times in a day with pictures of a very happy dog. I am very grateful for that. I also like that she tells a story with the pictures. I highly recommend Karen.”
“It’s scary to leave your pet with someone you don’t know but Miranda was so nice and answered all my questions so I felt more at ease leaving Fred in her care. She sent plenty of pictures and was ok with me texting to check in whenever I got worried. Fred was clean and happy when we picked him up. It was midday so she even picked him up and brought him to the car so he wouldn’t burn his paws. I wouldn’t hesitate to put Fred in her care again if needed.”

I highly recommend Lorenzo for anyone seeking top-notch pet sitting services. You won’t find anyone better!”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
“Cheri was great!! She gave Dax time to get used to her house before introducing him to her precious dog. She sent pics and updated me when I picked Dax up. I was running late and she was very gracious about that.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.
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.
“Spencer had my dog for overnight boarding and it went great! I really appreciated all the updates he sent me. My dog came back to me happy and relaxed. Spencer is very thoughtful, kind, and communicative. I will definitely be rebooking with him.”
About: If you’re looking for someone to take care of your fur babies like their own, then I’m the perfect fit! I currently have a husky named Ziggy and Ace. I like playing with my dogs in the backyard. I like taking them on walks and spending as much time with them as I possibly can. I have a special heart for every dog i see no matter what breed it is. I am a friendly and fun individual. I work M-F 8-5. When I get home, I pay extra attention to my own dogs with lots of loving. I will do the same with your loved ones. I have a fenced yard and a dog that loves to play with others. We go outside and play with toys. We get lots of snuggles.
About: I have a very close connection with animals and pets and I'm not afraid to get down and dirty playing with dogs. I have a very well trained and obedient dog that only knows how to be friendly. I've done all my own training with all the pets I've had and they all have been commended by others for their training. It has been noticed and mentioned countless times that I have a special connection with animals, especially dogs. I use a Camelback stocked with an additional 2 40oz water thermos, collapsible water bowls, clean-up bags, toys, and a first aid kit to keep everyone hydrated, entertained, and safe on walks and hikes. My schedule is flexible to care for your furry babies. I am available most hours of the day and usually able to accommodate new customers and pets. I keep pets leashed anytime they are not inside a house or a fenced in area to keep your loved ones safe and protected. I am careful of what is accessible and safe for any pet to encounter or consume.
