Personalized care for your dog or cat - Arroyo Hondo

“We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter on Rover! Our dog Homer was absolutely spoiled with love and care while staying with her. She took him on walks twice a day, gave him plenty of belly rubs, and he had full access to her large backyard—which he loved. He also got along great with her dog, which made the experience even better. When we came to pick him up, he was so happy and relaxed… honestly, he looked a little reluctant to leave! It was clear he felt right at home. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for treating Homer like one of your own!”

“Lita was great with our dog! She sent several pictures of him enjoying his stay and playing with other dogs! We would definitely leave him with her again, she took really good care of him!”

“Mikayla was an excellent sitter! We could not recommend her any more highly. 10 STARS. She was as thoughtful and caring as anyone could ask for. She sent updates(incl pictures) every morning and night, which made us feel much better. She took our pup out for many walks and adventures. She respected our requests, and reached out when questions came up. Communication was great. Thanks Mikayla!!”

“Sara was kind and welcoming to both Hallie and myself. I truly believe Hallie was sweetly loved and nurtured by Sara while I took an overnight getaway. I have much confidence and trust in her with an upcoming week in which Sara will care for Hallie.”

About: I did not grow up with cats, but I did grow up working with horses which meant having lots of cats around. I enjoy the eccentricities of cats and letting them chose how they interact with me. My method is to give them opportunities to interact if they so choose! I am very respectful of a cat's physicality and do not tend to pick up cats unless they owner tells me that is what they like. And then I still listen to the cat's communication! I am happy to provide special attention to medications or other routines.

“Mikayla was the best for my first time using rover. She was trustworthy and ensure Malcom was very well taken care of. She sent me pictures and if there was issues she was very good at informing me. Would definitely rebook her again when I need a sitter”

Michelle R.

“Audrey did a great job looking after our very shy cat who likes to hide. Every day she was sure to locate her, treating her to her favorite snack and snapping photos along the way!”

Tricia S.

“Nadine was great. Arrived at a regular time each day and communicated well with both me and my dog. Would definately use her services again”

Jim I.

“Kailey did an excellent job taking care of my two cats when I was traveling for a week. I came home to a very nonchalant greeting from both cats which is how I know they were very well cared for! Kailey sent daily pics and updates. She was great to communicate with which made for a stress free trip! I would highly recommend. Thanks Kailey!”

“Catherine is incredible! On her first visit there was an issue with the key (my error). Trying to resolve the problem -- she tried to squeeze through the bottom of the garage door! It did not work, though she gave her all! She is a kind and caring pet sitter! My kitties love her!”

About: Self-identified nature and animal lover, in transition from attorney to chaplaincy and mindfulness meditation teacher. I have cared for dogs for over 20 years, from zoomie puppies to slow-moving seniors. I am comfortable administering medication and feeding whatever combo of kibble+/-wet food your pup enjoys. Belly rubs and nature walks are always on offer. All are welcome here. I am home full-time and am able to supervise, care for and play with the dogs throughout the day. We begin each morning with an early one to five mile hike depending on energy levels and weather. The remainder of the day is free time to play, nap, repeat. Meals are usually at 8am and 4pm. In our home: Your dog will have free range of our entire home and fully-fenced acre with access to fresh drinking water at all times. There are several dog beds and toys around the house. Our resident pup Poppy is happy to share! Note: My doggie day care rate covers up to six daytime hours (between 8am - 6pm). We can add more time (starting at +$20) so you don't have to rush doing fun human-only activities. Special requests are always welcome.

“Kealey was amazing…would highly recommend. Our Duchess loved her !”

“Victoria was great! She took good care of my little old lady cat and checked up on my chickens as well.”

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets. I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.

“I hired Britt for a drop-in visit for my two cats, and it was such a relief knowing he was checking on them. He made sure they were okay and had plenty of food and water. The photos he sent gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend him.”

About: Cats are the easiest of all, probably because they're so smart. I tend to enjoy cat sitting the most, so most requests for cats are easily approved!

About: Hello! My name is Amber and I’m so excited to take care of your animals! I have always loved animals and have found that they bring me a great amount of joy to be around. Starting in 2021 I worked as a kennel attendant at a boarding facility for dogs and cats called Cherokee trail boarding. I worked there for over 2 years and have gained extensive knowledge on taking care of all different breeds of dogs and cats. I also worked in Alaska as a dog sled handler for 5 months where I took care of over 25 dogs at a time. I am very qualified to take care of your animals whether that’s administering important medication or just letting them get their energy out on a walk. I have a very flexible job so I would be able to work with any kind of scheduling that you feel is right for the care of your animals! I would not be able to take dogs/cats into my home but would be very willing to take care of them at your house whether that’s spending the night or seeing them throughout the day.

“Bonnie is very reliable and was great with Sophie. Recommend her highly. We hope we can use her again in the future. Sophie loved playing with her wonderful dog, Poppy!”

About: Hi! My name is Cal, and I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid. I grew up volunteering at the humane society and took classes in college on how to train shelter dogs. I have two dogs; one Golden Retriever and one Red Heeler who love to play with other dogs. They are high energy, so we go on regular hikes every day. I’m a firefighter/EMT, so you can feel safe knowing that I can render care if needed. If your dog likes to go on hikes, they’ll have a good time with us. I currently work weekends and some Fridays. My schedule is pretty open during the week and I am flexible to be there when you need me. I have trackers for my dogs and can provide one for yours if your dog is good off leash. I follow directions well and can tailor my day based on your needs.

“Mikayla is super patient, flexible, and caring. Bert approachable and made sure my little guy had a fun safe experience while I was at work!”

Sabina R.

“Sara really went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful for her.”

Dana L.

“Adelita was incredible. Our puppy absolutely adored her right from the start, and came back a happy boy. She went above and beyond, took him to the park, and let him play with her dogs at home. She worked on training with him and gave him treats to reward him. She was willing to pick our puppy up and drop him back off with us, making our plans for the day so much easier. She also took the sweetest pictures of our puppy so we could see how his day went. Highly recommend!!!!”

Leslie I.

“Audrey is fantastic! Our dogs appear to really enjoy her visits. She captures their individual personalities in the pictures that she sends. She is on time and spends more than our agreed upon time with our boys ❤️ She’s a life saver!! So glad we found her!”

Kristi M.

“Mikayla is an absolute life saver. Not only was she kind, our meatball loved her. She was punctual, communicative and flexible. She went above and beyond. My first time using rover I was a little skeptical but Mikayla surpassed all expectations. Absolutely can not wait to use her again.”

Sarah H.

“Callahan is calm and trustworthy. My dog enjoys the time he spends with Cal and his pack, and always comes home tired. Great communication and follow through. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Callahan for taking such good care of my boy!”

About: Hi! My name is Tori and I currently live in the Sheffield Lake, OH area. I am available for dog walks, pet sitting, and doggy day care! I do have a part time job in the afternoons but available anytime before and after. I have been around dogs and cats my whole life whether it be volunteering at the animal shelter or taking care of my own. With time, I've learned how to care for animals physically and emotionally by either giving them medical attention or simply just loving on them. I've had plenty of experience with big and small dogs and then learned how to train them and especially earn their trust and with that, I hope to gain the trust of their owners. I know exactly how an owner would want their dog to be treated and I intend to treat anyone's pet the same loving way! Pet care is in my daily routine all day every day. With taking care of my own fur babies, walking, feeding and cleaning up after them is already expected. I care for my pets and all animals the same with the same respect and care. I make sure their needs are meet with food along with exercise and love the obviously need!

“Catherine was super responsive and truly went above and beyond for our pups. We're so grateful!”

About: I am a writer and thus would be mostly at home with your animals. I lost my own dog in recent years, and find that I do best when I have dogs and cats to look after. I love being interrupted by a dog asking for attention and play! Walking is a joy for me. I specialize in tuning in to what anxieties need clear support and confidence to help build successful interactions. I welcome caring for animals with special dietary or medication issues. To have the company of a senior dog or a puppy is something I really look forward to. I organize my working rhythms around pet care. I enjoy having my work broken up with odd tasks and interruptions from animals. In general, providing pet care generally makes me more productive in other areas of my life. I like having a set walking and feeding schedule, and then everything flows from there. My work is portable on my laptop, so as long as I can have a perch to work at, I can be present for animals in the spaces they are accustomed to having company in. I do house visits, walking, and home stays. I enjoy staying overnight with animals because we can tune into each other. I try to get a sense of how the animal parent interacts with and supports their animal through daily routine, and then try to replicate that routine. I pay close attention to what they animals are saying about what they need, and what brings about their contentment.

“Tania managed a very unusual request: we had her pick up our dogs from our Venue and take them back to our hotel and feed them. We messed up giving her the key and it turned a bit chaotic and she handled it excellently. Can’t thank her enough for making sure everything still got done. She’s dependable and flexible and would recommend for any pet needs!”

About: I have 6+ years of experience house-sitting and taking care of people's pets of all ages and breeds. Taking care of an animal and making them feel loved are two different things... I make sure to do both. I work remotely as a virtual assistant and content creator so my schedule is very flexible. I have two cats of my own that I get to spend all my time with. Whether it's just a drop-in or a walk, I provide you, your animal, and your home with respect, trust, and transparency. I can follow your lead and instructions while providing love to your furry friends.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for 5 years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!
