Highly-rated overnight sitters - Bernalillo
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maellen, she is my go-to when I need to board my dog. My dog is a very shy dog but has really come to trust Maellen and her husband. She loves their yard and all the walks! I look forward to booking Maellen in the future! She is amazing!”
“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!”
“Thank you Brian, for taking such great care of our dog. We would recommend you to anyone in need of boarding their dog. We look forward to using your services in the future.”
“Brandi was an amazing choice when boarding Ace who hadn’t had a lot of time outside of the house. Ace loved her dog Aries and her kids as well! The kids didn’t want Ace to leave and loved on him the whole time, which made me so happy. She also has a lot of experience and taught him a couple new tricks while I was gone. She went above and beyond to learn about Ace and even had him sleep in a bigger crate than the one I brought, to ensure he was happy. Her whole family is the sweetest and I can’t wait to book with her again!!!”
“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”
“Josie, Peter & Paco treated my pup so well while I was out of town! They were super flexible and made my dog feel right at home- I’ve really never seen him so comfortable in someone else’s space! I got plenty of updates and my dog is tuckered out from all of his playtime. Definitely will be booking with them again next time we are out of town, so glad to have found them through Rover.”
“He was fantastic with our dog! Very caring and made sure our pup got walks and tons of play times. He included daily pictures of our pup. We will be using him every time in the future”
“This was our second time leaving Ash with Jamie and Patrick, and they took wonderful care of her. We really enjoyed receiving photos of Ash having a great time while we were on vacation. Knowing she was happy and well cared for gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Bobbi was she very helpful in a short notice. My first time her. She was sweet and kind to my baby and Bonni treated her like a princess.100% would recommend her again”
“We were in a bind due to a family emergency which prohibited us from taking the dog, and very apprehensive about the safety and care of our beloved Mowgli. Such gratitude that Cindy stepped in, we were able to meet that day and throughout the trip we received updates showing Mowgli so well cared for. When we got home he was completely contented. Thank you Rover and especially Cindy - you gave us peace of mind at a time when it meant so much.”
“Lisa was an amazing cat sitter! She was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our cat, Woody. He has never been away from home before, and I was really nervous — but both Lisa and her dog, Gullu, were so gentle and comforting with him. I was genuinely surprised by how relaxed and at ease he seemed around them. Lisa sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was very responsive whenever we had questions and was super flexible with our schedule. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”
“Crystal was amazing! She was extremely quick to communicate and gave me updates throughout Emma‘s stay with her. Emma almost didn’t wanna leave ! Would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“As usual, Brian provided excellent care for my friend Nick the snickerdoodle the 5 nights he spent there. Nick is always happy to go to Brian's with the huge backyard and a cast of rotating paw pals that visit for the day or have sleepovers. Best of all for me is that Nick comes home tuckered out but happy.”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”
“Shell was wonderful with Koda. It was the first time we left him and he's only 5 months old. Shell showed him lots of love when we went for the meet and greet and he took to her right away and was very comfortable. He loved playing with the other pups at her house and every time we asked about him Shell was quick to respond and even sent a picture to ease my daughter's mind. We plan to have Shell watch Koda again.”
“Liz was so great caring for our dog for 4 days! She was responsive, sent me lots of pictures and details about his day and genuinely seemed to care and love him. I will definitely use her again if we need a pet sitter”

“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.”
“Cheyne, P., took care of my 2 cats after I had surgery. She showed up on time, spent time with them, and did all the tasks on the to-do list. I will definitely contact her when I start traveling to take care of the animals and the house. Thank you so much, Cheyne, for all the love and care you give to all the animals you encounter. I enjoyed the pictures you showed me of your happy furry family members. Lynn S.”
“Highly recommend booking with Sara! She was so caring, attentive, and thoughtful. It was obvious how much she cared for our home and cat. And she completed everything in such a detailed way. We will definitely book her again!”
“Victoria was thorough, prompt, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat under her care for 2-1/2 weeks. I trusted her completely after meeting her, and she immediately connected with my cat who can be rather shy with humans. I will absolutely be reaching out to her for future vacations, and am delighted to finally have found a contact in my area. So grateful to her, thanks Victoria!”
About: I have over 10 years experience caring for cats of my own as well as my friends cats. However, my childhood was filled with cats and I just love all of their quirky personalities traits. My own cat is very particular about who she lets pet her and I'm proud to say I'm high up on that list. I'm adaptable and comfortable with all types of cats - young and old, sassy and chill, shy and wild. I'm a great communicator and will provide regular updates and pictures on how your cat is doing. I want to be able to give you peace of mind while you're away and to do so, I'll do my best to learn how best to take care of your cat. I have great attention to detail so if you provide a care instruction, you can rest assured that it won't go unnoticed. I'm comfortable giving your cat food, water, and treats. I'm also comfortable cleaning out litter boxes. My schedule is flexible as I am currently home full time and I can accept last minute bookings. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns so that I can help put your mind at ease. I look forward to working with you and your cat(s)!
“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!”
“Dawn always goes above and beyond! Our kitty is a master at hiding, but she finds him and is quickly earning his full trust. It’s a huge comfort to know she is caring for our kitty.”
About: I have dealt with every personality. Whether the pet is shy, elderly, anxious, or energetic, I can adapt. I also give every pet the love it deserves. Walks and cuddles. Not just “watching” but truly engaging. I am currently enrolled in school, so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your little guys. On weekends I am available all day and on weekdays I am available after 2:30pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine the same, giving them lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow all instructions, keep their space clean, and send photo updates so you always feel comfortable and informed.
“For some reason my cat didn’t want to come out for Sarah, but I believe she did everything I asked. She worked with my schedule and responded to requests. My door wasn’t fully closed when I got back, which was concerning but luckily no one got in or out, so this didn’t end up impacting the cat or security.”
About: I have helped out the community with my own local TNR groups! I have had my fair share of sassy cats and kittens. I also volunteered to help and support adults with disabilities on maintaining a clean and healthy environment for there pets!😆❤️
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life, and I know first hand what it takes to care for them. I’ve regularly cleaned litter boxes, played with our cats, and taken them to the vet. When we’ve gone on vacation ourselves, we’ve used cat sitters, and I’ve seen first hand the report they’ve left. I know what it takes to care for cats, and I have immense love in my heart for our feline friends.
“Mira is the best! I was so happy to rebook with her and I can't recommend her enough. She is responsible, patient, communicative, kind, and sends the best updates after each visit. My sweet kitty has really warmed up to her!”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for friends and family over the years. My husband and I have a Westie who is 14 years old but still very spunky! I recently started using the rover app for dog sitting and dog walking and have been enjoying all the sweet pups I have been able to care for! I work part time and have a flexible schedule to be able to do walks during the day and throughout the week. Would love to take your dog for a walk! My roommate has a small dog, so I would only be able to take dogs overnight who do well socially with other dogs. I am open to house sitting/dog sitting at your home as an alternative.
“Martina jumped in literally in the hours before I was leaving as my other sitter cancelled very last minute. Martina was attentive to all the needs of my very elderly cat, gave him his meds, cared for him as if her own. She left my house in really good condition and tidy/clean after an 11-day stay!”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I have two sweet Pitbull-Lab mixes at home who’ve taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. I have hands-on experience with administering medication (oral and topical) and even diapering pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or needs special attention, I’m confident in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for them. I proudly service Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, and parts of the East Mountain villages. I’m happy to work with your schedule, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and detail-oriented, I’m your person. Let’s set up a meet and greet! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have two Pitbull-Lab mixes who keep me on my toes! Between walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles, I’m used to building my day around pets and their needs. Taking care of other people’s pets just feels like a natural extension of what I already do. I’m flexible with my schedule and love being around animals, so whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to make it work! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine with feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and all the cuddles they want! I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.
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.
“Kerianne took good care of our cat Tina! She kept her food and water bowls full and fresh, and got some play time in as well. We really enjoyed the cute pictures of our cat while we were away!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bernalillo
About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.
“Michael was great with my dog Peanut, he was very professional; he walked my dog twice and sent timely pictures and behavior reports. I used his services twice in 2 days and my dog Peanut really likes him and I intend to use his services in the future.”
“Arysta was wonderful! She helped our puppy relax and enjoy her time with other dogs, and helped me relax ? on my trip without the worry of what my fur baby was doing. Thank you, Arysta.”
“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).
“Brian is the absolute best! Hex did a wonderful job of making my anxious dog, Oslo, feel safe and calm. He opened his home to Oslo and gave him the freedom to be indoors or outdoors whenever he chose. Brian’s energy and interactions with Oslo made him feel so comfortable that my shy dog now loves going to Brian’s home.”

This availability is temporary, so I’m excited to help as many pet owners as I can while my schedule is open. If you need a reliable and caring pet sitter or dog walker, I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.That’s why I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they’re surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. Staying in their own environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel more relaxed. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, make sure gates and doors are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and safe. I also take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine so they receive the best care possible. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I love building trust with every pet I meet and treating them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in the place they feel happiness your home.
“Highly recommend! First time using a dog sitter and Shayna was perfect for my dog. Communication was great and I received updates/photos of my dog throughout the day. Shayna made me feel at ease knowing my dog would be in great care. I would request Shayna again for future doggy day care. Thank you Shayna!”
“Lisa was absolutely lovely and my shy little dog was instantly comfortable with her. Lisa is very responsive given that I had a last-minute need for doggy daycare on an on a weekend day and she got back to me very quickly which I was grateful for. She has a kind, gentle demeanor, and from the videos she sent me, I got to see her adorable little poodle socializing with my pup. Maisie, my girl, clearly enjoyed it because het tail was wagging madly when they were together in the pictures and video. I’m so glad to have found Lisa and know that there’s someone really good in the New Rochelle Mamaroneck area”
“Brian & Jerri love, love, love pups, all kinds & sizes and they have such an amazing big, backyard. They have a great setup for daycare and boarding, and they’re a great, kind couple. I look forward to booking my Rio with them many, many times.”
“Lauren was great. She greeted us on arrival and introduced her dog to ours. She kept us updated during the day by sending us photos of how our pup was doing. We would definitely use Lauren again when visiting Albuquerque.”
“I 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!”
“I contacted Shell at the last minute to pick up and drop off my dog. She agreed quickly, understood exactly what I needed, and most importantly, took excellent care of my little one. She was perfect! I’m so grateful to her for helping me. I will be contacting Shell first the next time I need a pet sitter. Thanks, Shell! Your kindness was greatly appreciated!”
“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.”
“Holly was great with Loki! She picked up on his occasional anti-social attitude toward other dogs and let him stay close to her where he is more comfortable. He seemed happy when I picked him up. They were very responsive with communication and easy to make an appointment with!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Bernalillo
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.
“Ashleigh is wonderful! ‘Chandler’ took to her right away. She’s not only reliable, but quite accommodating with my changing schedule. She’s a true dog lover and I highly recommend her.”
About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles and fish.

I do currently work part time (4 hour shifts) But will update my availability as often as possible! I work about 2-3 days a week. I will follow your instructions on how you care for your pet exactly. My goal is that your animals will feel the least amount of stress possible by sticking to their routine. I will treat your animals with the utmost love, care and respect. As I do my own. :)
About: Ever since I can remember, I've had a furry friend by my side. I've had dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and birds. I'll be more than happy to hang out with whatever species your babies are! I work nights, so im available pretty much every day to check in on your pets and/or take them on a walk. I work nights, so I'm available from 9-4 for walks and drop-ins. Since I am new to rover, my schedule may change as I get the hang of it, but I will keep my profile updated! At this time, I will only be servicing pets in their own homes, as I have a reactive puppy in my own home that I am working on socializing. I will follow whatever house rules and requests you give me, just please be clear and concise! :)

About: I have had dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for friends and family over the years. My husband and I have a Westie who is 14 years old but still very spunky! I recently started using the rover app for dog sitting and dog walking and have been enjoying all the sweet pups I have been able to care for! I work part time and have a flexible schedule to be able to do walks during the day and throughout the week. Would love to take your dog for a walk! My roommate has a small dog, so I would only be able to take dogs overnight who do well socially with other dogs. I am open to house sitting/dog sitting at your home as an alternative.
About: I have dealt with every personality. Whether the pet is shy, elderly, anxious, or energetic, I can adapt. I also give every pet the love it deserves. Walks and cuddles. Not just “watching” but truly engaging. I am currently enrolled in school, so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your little guys. On weekends I am available all day and on weekdays I am available after 2:30pm. I care for pets by keeping their routine the same, giving them lots of love, playtime, and attention. I follow all instructions, keep their space clean, and send photo updates so you always feel comfortable and informed.
About: I have taken care of many rescues and have housed many dogs and cats. I have always been the go to when it comes to watching people’s pets! I also enjoy long walks to the park! I am currently on break from school, and I only work part time in my day job! I am free in the mornings and at nights to assist with animal care! I can stay all day on the weekends and come see them for an early morning walk and be back by 4pm for another walk and some cuddles! I have three senior dogs! They all have arthritis and are very old so I’m not able to take them out for long walks, but I do push them in a wagon so they can get fresh air! One of my senior citizens is blind and deaf so having another dog around him might spook him, but I can watch the home and pet for you!😆❤️
About: I give your pets attention and affection, keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I send pictures most days to assure you all is well. My services include house-sitting, so your pets stay home where they’re comfortable. I have decades of experience with a variety of breeds. Let’s talk about what worries you and we’ll find a solution everyone is happy with! I’d prefer to visit your pets before securing the booking, to make sure we all get along. I am self employed and pet care is one of the ways I earn my living. I also work remotely for some of my clients and use the wi-fi to get tasks done. I have been house/pet sitting for decades. I treat your home as if I was a welcome guest, but not a part of the household. Over the years, I’ve had jobs where I was bonded for security, which means I have a clean record. I’ve been entrusted with confidential & proprietary information. I’ve adhered to HIPAA rules without breaking a sweat. I am trustworthy and friendly. I have a silly sense of humor and have skewed streaming algorithms with binging scifi. I’ve lived in the extremes of rural to urban environments. I can greet & thank people in ten languages. My idea of a party is a bowl of ice cream and a movie (sci-fi, British drama). Before we book anything, I’d like to stop by the house and give the critter(s) a chance to get a good look/smell of me and you can give me the lay of the land. Housesitting: I’m being hired to keep the critter(s) company, and that’s what I do. Nana comes to visit and keeping the house safe and the animal(s) safe and happy is my primary duty. My habit is to bring my own supplies, so when you get home, everything is how you left it. I have a ukulele and I sing familiar covers, so I’ll mention it now in case the neighbors mention something about it. (I have yet to have a dog howl as I sang, though the huskies were very talkative.) Drop-In: Depending on our discussion during the Meet & Greet, I will swing by your house according to the schedule we’ve set up. I will make sure the water is fresh and the food bowl has plenty of food. (My job is to make sure the animal(s) know they are being cared for and that they don’t have to stress about whether or not they will starve to death - I’m thinking of cats especially here who see the bottom of the food bowl and start to panic. Not on my watch!) Walk: I’ll be at your house at the time(s) we’ve discussed, put on the collar and leash, and set out on the adventure. My habit is to sing as I walk so that any other critter has a chance to get out of sight - a lesson learned by startling a skunk. It is important that I know if the neighborhood is friendly or if folks keep to themselves. Do(es) the dog(s) visit friends on the trail? or should I keep them on their own?
About: I love dogs so much and have had at least one for my whole life (big and small)! Currently I’m a college student and I wanna help out all the puppies while I can’t have my own! I volunteered at Animal Humane NM and completed their dog walking & dog behavior courses so I am absolutely equipped to handle your dog(s)! I’m a student right now so my schedule depends on my classes! This semester I only have classes on Tues & Thurs so I’m available any other days! I’m super flexible and can accommodate any of your dogs needs as long as I learn your routine! I know how to walk, feed, give treats, crate, and give attention to your dog!
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: Hi there, my name is Mercedes. I've had family dogs for my whole life and absolutely can't get enough of them - I've had experience with multiple breeds and sizes as well as ages. I love being around puppies, older dogs, and any age in between! I work full time and try to be as open/flexible as possible and keep my calendar updated. I can work around your schedule so send me a message to work out the details! I’ve had such a great experience on Rover and really love all the dogs I’ve gotten to look after so far. Please let me know about your dogs exercise needs and how to best care for them! I currently have a cat who is not the biggest fan of dogs, so it’s fun to care for dogs on Rover when they’re parents are at work or out of town :) I currently work full time, but I work fully remote so I am flexible around your pets routine. Please let me know details when you book! I do not offer services in my own home, but will follow all of your home rules when it comes to safety and boarding. Please let me know details when you book.
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.
“If you need assistance with your animal, Heaven is an awesome choice. My dog actually miss her when he thinks she should be there to take him for his walk. I believe it is wonderful the way she bonds with her human and animal clientele.”
“Patricia is great and so kind!! We had a crisis over a missing dog leash and she was so flexible and relaxed and made do with what she had. We will be booking with her again!!”
About: I've taken care of animals for forever and love them like my own. I am very good with puppy training if you are trying to train your pup and have certain commands you do let me know so I can do it as well! I am currently a college student and Substitute teach part-time. Although it seems like a lot it is not and can board on weekends and depending on the day of the week I am available anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a boy Australian shepherd named Brunson. He would be so excited to have a play date/sleepover with another dog. As for a clients home I would like to keep on the dogs schedule if they had one and would take them outside for walks and if they had backyard would love to go throw a ball.

“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maellen, she is my go-to when I need to board my dog. My dog is a very shy dog but has really come to trust Maellen and her husband. She loves their yard and all the walks! I look forward to booking Maellen in the future! She is amazing!”
“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!”
“Thank you Brian, for taking such great care of our dog. We would recommend you to anyone in need of boarding their dog. We look forward to using your services in the future.”
“Brandi was an amazing choice when boarding Ace who hadn’t had a lot of time outside of the house. Ace loved her dog Aries and her kids as well! The kids didn’t want Ace to leave and loved on him the whole time, which made me so happy. She also has a lot of experience and taught him a couple new tricks while I was gone. She went above and beyond to learn about Ace and even had him sleep in a bigger crate than the one I brought, to ensure he was happy. Her whole family is the sweetest and I can’t wait to book with her again!!!”
“He was fantastic with our dog! Very caring and made sure our pup got walks and tons of play times. He included daily pictures of our pup. We will be using him every time in the future”
“This was our second time leaving Ash with Jamie and Patrick, and they took wonderful care of her. We really enjoyed receiving photos of Ash having a great time while we were on vacation. Knowing she was happy and well cared for gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Crystal was amazing! She was extremely quick to communicate and gave me updates throughout Emma‘s stay with her. Emma almost didn’t wanna leave ! Would highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“As usual, Brian provided excellent care for my friend Nick the snickerdoodle the 5 nights he spent there. Nick is always happy to go to Brian's with the huge backyard and a cast of rotating paw pals that visit for the day or have sleepovers. Best of all for me is that Nick comes home tuckered out but happy.”
“Victoria is the real deal. Her love of pets is second to none and the updates I got of Penny having fun and getting all the love she needed was perfect! I am so happy to have found her and will be trusting her with Penny for any future stays!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Mary and her wonderful family. From the moment I met them, I knew Tula was in kind, capable hands. Mary has a loving home filled with children, cats, and dogs, and Tula settled in as if she had always belonged there. It was clear she was treated as part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. Knowing Tula was happy, safe, and well-loved gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to Mary and her family for welcoming her into their home, and we would not hesitate to trust them with Tula again. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for exceptional, loving care for their pet.”
“Shell was wonderful with Koda. It was the first time we left him and he's only 5 months old. Shell showed him lots of love when we went for the meet and greet and he took to her right away and was very comfortable. He loved playing with the other pups at her house and every time we asked about him Shell was quick to respond and even sent a picture to ease my daughter's mind. We plan to have Shell watch Koda again.”
“Onrae was great. We left Ansel with him for just over a week and it really let us relax knowing he was in good hands. He sent several updates and pictures and was always quick to respond to messages and questions. He did a great job in trying to keep a good routine for the dog, and it seemed like Ansel loved playing with the kids and having a new environment to explore! Will definitely be looking to call him again in the future for our pet care needs!”
“This was Mango’s second stay with Holly & Robert, and she had a blast! Holly was super accommodating with my flight delays and cancellations, which I really appreciated. We’ll definitely book again!”
“If I could leave more stars I would! Savannah is fantastic at communication, always sending updates and pictures and videos. She also spoiled my dog with quail egg treats and hikes at the Petroglyphs!”
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my doggo! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog felt comfortable at her home with her loving care and attention. Sara also took the time to give my dog her daily supplements and treats. I really felt like Sara took care of my dog like her own pets--so loving! Thank you so much, Sara!!”
“Celine was awesome! She took awesome care of our baby and she communicated with us every day. Our dog was very well taken care for and I can’t recommend her enough!”
