“Karen has always been wonderful in taking care of Kami. Kami is allowed to run around looking at chickens and a neighbors cow. She takes plenty of pictures daily with a worded text. I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry friends.”
“Thank you so much, Boo had a lovely time she wasn’t stressed at all when we picked her up . I loved all the update pictures. Really put my mind at ease.”
“This was our second booking with Bonnie and just like the first time our two fur kids were well loved and cared for. We appreciate knowing we had a safe and comfy place to leave them when we were gone.”
“Maellen is a dream! She sent pictures and videos every day and took the best care of our little pugs. Highly, highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again (Jeffery and Waffles miss her already!). Thank you!!”
“Rebecca is incredible! Followed up, made sure we had clear directions, and was so gracious even after I screwed up on my timing! She is a definite go-to and I will be requesting her again for sure!”
“Josie and her husband made our little man Yoshi feel like family. She offeted great communication and checked in with daily updates. He ate well, got daily walks, and tons of playtime and cuddles. Very dog friendly home with toys and beds galore and a large backyard to play in. Paco the resident dog is friendly and playful. I recommend Josie 100%.”
“Cecilia is a wonderful caretaker for my dog Baldr, I have left him with her twice. She is very communicative and kind and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved older dog with her.”
“This is Sasha's 3rd stay with Pat this year! Pat is extremely accommodating when it comes to our dropoff/pickup schedules. This past visit, we were an hour late dropping Sasha off due to an accident blocking both lanes were driving on. We kept her apprised of what was happening via text. Pat was understanding with no problem and looked forward to seeing Sasha when we finally arrived.”
“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! 🥰”
“Can't say enough about these guys. When our dogs hear Patrick pulling into the driveway for pickup, they grab their leashes and start jumping around and barking with excitement. I feel confident that when they leave the house that they are always well cared for. If I could leave 6 stars I would. I won't go anywhere else.”
“Cindy took great care of our dog The meet and greet was very helpful. When we returned to leave her, she was excited to go play with Cindy’s dog. Cindy sent us daily updates with photos that were so reassuring. We were a little late getting back to pick her up. Cindy was very accommodating. It’s great to know that she is in our area for future trips.”
“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”
“Savannah was amazing! Extremely communicative radically from the Dan. Super thankful she was able to take care of Joey while on vacation! Would highly recommend and would absolutely go to again!”
“Mark has been a fabulous sitter for our standard poodle Remy. He makes sure that Remy gets his daily walk. Plus he sends us frequent photos and even videos so we know that Remy is doing well while we are away. It’s clear that Mark loves dogs and our Remy enjoys staying with him.”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Courtnay will give you peace of mind when you leave your precious doggo with her. She provided daily updates/pics of my boy, and I loved how he had friends while he stayed by her so he got a little bit of socialization with the other dogs (they had a time). Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed a connecting flight and came in later than expected. She kept my boy for a few extra hours and really helped me out. Will definitely be booking again in the near future!”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”
“Celine always takes the best care of Ellie! We have complete peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands. It’s clear how much Celine loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and Ellie is always happy and excited to be there. We truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and excellent care she provides.”
“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.”

“Seriously the most amazing sitter on this app. She goes above and beyond, we had an unforseen change in plans, and she made it work. She cares about all of the animals she watches and our fur babies love her. I can't say enough how amazing and how appreciative we are for her. Thank you Nicole!!!”
“Rachel, Thank you so much for the excellent care you’ve given Tufay, the garden, flower pots and Mr. Toad. You are an excellent care giver. You have our highest recommendation. Best regards, Stephanie & Vern”
“Karen did drop-ins for my cat and I have no complaints. I received updates and photos of the drop-ins and my cat seemed happy to get some company while I was away.”
“Brooke was wonderful with our kitty! She was a new kitty, so we were a bit nervous about leaving her, but everything went beautifully! Brooke played with her and sent pictures every day, so we knew she was being stimulated, looked out for, and cared for. Thank you so much, Brooke! Highly recommend!!!”
“Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.”
“Vanessa is always super responsive and my cats absolutely adore her! She's given me peace of mind my cats are being loved and cared for while family is away!”
About: I’ve raised my 2 senior dogs from puppies. My family has relied on me to watch their fury babies. Where I provide walking, play time, feeding, bathing, and tons of love.

When clients were away, I spent the night in their home with their pet(s), took out/brought in trash cans, mail, packages, alternated lights in the home, watered plants, gave the appearance that the home was occupied to increase security, and anything else asked of me within reason. Let me know what you need and we can work together to create a mutually beneficial plan! I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your furry family members! I will stay in your home with your pets where they are comfortable and familiar.

“Miriam took Bully for short walk and visited with him on her visits. From the pics and videos Bully looked like he had a great time with her. I scheduled her to do the same visits 2 weeks from now.”
About: I have owned diabetic dogs and one with epilepsy. Friends and coworkers always ask me to watch their furbabies because they know how good my husband and I are with our own. They trust us and coming from someone who rarely traveled and when I did I took them with me because I don't trust others would take care of them like I do. I understand the anxiety that comes with having to leave them behind for whatever reason. Knowing they will be loved and have fun makes it that much easier for both you and your pet. Safety and security are also most important to us so rest assured they will be okay. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband's business is from home so we are both always here. We never leave for more that 3 hours due to our 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around.

We used to have dogs with medical issues and couldn't really leave them with anyone. My husband and I love animals and know how hard it is to leave them anywhere. Even at petsmart hotel they stay inside a small area and the play area isn't that big. We work from home and are never away longer than 4 hours. We have a 2 year old who is really good with the dogs as well but Rest assured we never let her play with them unattended. We have a large yard for dogs and know that they will be taken care of and loved while visiting us. All pets need love and attention. Even pet hotels leave them alone overnight and the thought of them having to hold it or use it in their space to feel ashamed is aweful. With us you get peace of mind and that's priceless In my home they will be treated like our own. They can play outside as long as they want. They scratch on the door ahead. They want in or out. They sleep inside on our bed with us of course. We want them to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. My dog buddy sleeps in his cage when he stays with others because he feels safe there so we understand everyone is different.

“Lauren is super fantastic and conscientious of my dogs needs and my worries. Roja is ecstatic when I drop her off and I feel that she is safe and loved. Lauren is reliable and professional and kind”
About: I am an animal lover and love having any kinds of fur babies over, even caged animals. Let my family become your fur baby family away from family. We will pay lots of attention to your fur baby and love on them and spoil them rotten. We are homeschool family so we are always home. We will treat your fur baby like one of our children. We have a fenced in yard and 5 kiddos who will give them lots of kisses and hugs. Your babies will be inside our home and will not be left outside for any amount of time, unless they are going potty or the kids are outside running around. we don't kennel pets unless its requested by the owner. I provide updates or pictures, even on occasion a video update. I offer long term pet sitting as well for as long as 6months to a year ect. Your babies would love to come back. I will follow any diet you ask or even give medication when needed. I am a stay at home parent/homeschool, so your babies will get alot of attention from all of us. We feed them on your schedule and if they are food aggressive, we can feed them away from other animals I have a fenced in yard, so dogs can easily run around and play fetch freely. We cuddle on the couch or in bed, and give treats. We can crate as needed and of you require it but we prefer bot to crate.
“Far and away a better experience than the first go on Rover. She kept us informed with text updates and pictures of the doggos. Sweet hounds and plenty of space to roam. Your dogs are safe in her hands!”
“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!”
“My dog absolutely loved it at Cindy's house!! It's my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but Cindy went above and beyond! You can tell she really loves dogs and knows what she's doing. I definitely recommend!”
“Stella loves going to see Kimberly and her new doggie friends. She is so excited to go there and cannot wait to hang out and play with her buddies.”
“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”
“This was my first opportunity to use Rover and I had a great experience and so did my Luna. I could really tell Bonni loved pets and took great care to ensure my Luna had a great experience. Thank you so much!”
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.
“Melinda was so kind and such an incredible caretaker for our dog while we were in Albuquerque for a day. She was such a quick responder to all messages, was so sweet, and truly exemplified what it meant to be a “dog lover.” She made sure all accommodations were met for our little Luna and made us feel at ease while we got our car fixed. Would definitely recommend Melinda to anyone looking for a sitter for the day or overnight!”
“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!”
“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”

“James and Leslie are great. I’ve been leaving my newly adopted dog with them once a week and he’s become calm around other dogs and people. He’s also playing well with other dogs and comes home tired and happy. Very glad I found them!”
“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!!!!”
“Tracy was incredibly kind and caring with our fur baby, she was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during her stay. Also super flexible! Our pup loved Tracy!”
“Christina is a very thoughtful sitter! She has a great set up. Extra dog crates, a gate before the door so no one runs out, covered couch she lets the dogs up on, and a good little yard. My dog had a blast playing with her and other dog she was watching. We were delayed in our travels and she was very flexible! Told me not to rush and sent a ton of pictures letting me know Lyra was having a good time. She even let me book last minute with a quick meet and greet the night before. Thanks Christina!”

About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college.

About: !!!!BOOKED OUT FOR HOUSE SITTING SERVICES UNTIL JULY 13 2025!!! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, quite literally. I had 13 childhood dogs, as I grew up they grew older with me and unfortunately most passed away. Since moving to New Mexico 3 years ago I found myself on a dilema, I miss my fluffy friends. I chose to provide services for rover and through the years I’ve gotten to take care of many different breeds, small dogs, big dogs, puppies, and senior dogs and it has probably been one of the best decisions I’ve ever taken. I’ve realize that the old saying of “a dog is a man’s best friend” is 100% real. A couple months ago I started co-parenting a mini schnauzer with my sister and it has made me realize how much I enjoy being around these fluffy friends, spending time with them, and entertaining them. These beautiful creatures provide unconditional love and affection. For us our pets are just a chapter in our life, but from them we are the whole book ❤️ and as a sitter I’m here to provide help and shadow your routine for the times you have to be away from them, providing them a big amount of time, love, comfort, and joy! I became a certified trainer 4 years ago. Im mainly a homebody, while I do go to school from Monday- Thursday I spend around 16-20 hours of the day at home guaranteed! While I do work from home, I have a small part time job that requires me to be away from home 4-5 hours a day only in the weekends Im a dependable and trustworthy sitter! As I shadow your routine and follow your schedule, I get to cherish your pet, play with them, take them on walks, make them feel comfortable and loved.

About: Mostly I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, including seniors, pups and kittens. I am sensitive to and will want to get them care if an emergency arises. I love to love them all. Presently I am flexible to meet pet parent needs. I do need 1 day notice for planning 🙂 and ensuring I am prepared for your pets. Presently I am able to provides services at your home only ( except for very young puppies and kittens who can stay with me if needed) -in your home I’m most familiar with cats and dogs. I am glad to keep your pets environment fresh during visits including waste clean up, hair brush or deshedding with your tools, refresh food, water bowls as needed. I will have non-toxic cleaners for hard surfaces if needed.

About: I've been around animals my entire life. We had family friends who lived on a farm and that place was like a second home to my sister and I. Alongside that, we had 3 family dogs. The first two dogs we had since I was about 5 and the other was given to me on my 10th Birthday. During the 13 wonderful years she was in my life, she had two full liters of puppies in which I was responsible to help my parents manage from birthing to selling them. I have the knowledge and skills to take care of older pets as my Miley got really frail in her older years. I am someone who has always had a deep emotional connection towards animals, dogs specifically. I believe that once you adopt, take in, or purchase a animal that they are automatically apart of the family. I am currently my grandmother's caregiver in the morning and in afternoon I work part-time as a CYFD Family Visitation Monitor. I care for my grandmother for 2 hours in morning and in afternoon I am gone anywhere between 3 to 5 hours depending on when scheduled in but am always back by 630ish. I live on half an acre fenced property so there is plenty of safe room for your dog/dogs to be entertained and loved on by my 2 sweet doggies and myself. I do have the means to crate easily if necessary, as well as, plenty of rooms and space if separate feeding is needed. I do have several water stations in my home, which I change daily, so your doggie will always have access to fresh water. At night, my puppy gets closed in my makeup room where her bed is with some water and toys to keep her company; while my older dog sleeps freely in the home. Every morning I wake up at 7, let dogs out while I get ready for my grandmother's, and then they get returned to crates while at grandmothers. After I get home from Grandmother's I let dogs out and feed them. After they eat, I let them outside and leave them out for a little depending on the weather. My house has several big dog toys which are constantly played with inside as well as out depending on the weather. And of course I have treats because you can never forget to reward the babies for good behavior and just to occasionally spoil them.

“Karen has always been wonderful in taking care of Kami. Kami is allowed to run around looking at chickens and a neighbors cow. She takes plenty of pictures daily with a worded text. I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry friends.”
“Maellen is a dream! She sent pictures and videos every day and took the best care of our little pugs. Highly, highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again (Jeffery and Waffles miss her already!). Thank you!!”
“Cecilia is a wonderful caretaker for my dog Baldr, I have left him with her twice. She is very communicative and kind and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved older dog with her.”
“Can't say enough about these guys. When our dogs hear Patrick pulling into the driveway for pickup, they grab their leashes and start jumping around and barking with excitement. I feel confident that when they leave the house that they are always well cared for. If I could leave 6 stars I would. I won't go anywhere else.”
“Cindy took great care of our dog The meet and greet was very helpful. When we returned to leave her, she was excited to go play with Cindy’s dog. Cindy sent us daily updates with photos that were so reassuring. We were a little late getting back to pick her up. Cindy was very accommodating. It’s great to know that she is in our area for future trips.”
“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”
“Savannah was amazing! Extremely communicative radically from the Dan. Super thankful she was able to take care of Joey while on vacation! Would highly recommend and would absolutely go to again!”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”
“Celine always takes the best care of Ellie! We have complete peace of mind knowing Ellie is in such good hands. It’s clear how much Celine loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and Ellie is always happy and excited to be there. We truly appreciate the attention, kindness, and excellent care she provides.”
“Debbie is a wonderful dog person! Quick response, flexible, daily updates, daily walks, I was assured that my dog was having a blast while I was away! Additionally, her Labradors are super friendly and awesome playmates with my dog. She treated my dog as family. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend to anyone else.”
“Drop off and pick up was easy because Vanessa was flexible with the times. Vanessa has a welcoming home and asked if the dogs were allowed in the bed with her; a simple question but it was good to hear that she would respect our boundaries. Our pups came home happy.”
“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!!!”
“Crystal took such good care of my older lab. He has anxiety when he’s away from home. She sent pictures and videos everyday to me to assure me he was doing well. I’m so glad we found someone that cares and loves fur babies. We will be contacting Crystal again when we travel. I highly recommend her.”
“Doug was so easy to work with and accommodating. My dogs had a lovely time with him. Even though one of my girls got sick with tummy troubles a couple of days before the stay, he agreed to still watch all 3. Stellar experience overall”
“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”
“This family is the best for pet sitting! Great updates and pictures of my dog while I was away. He was calm when I picked him up which tells me he was comfortable and got lots of love!”
