“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I really lucked out by selecting Bonni JN. as my boarder/sitter. My dog Murphy throughly enjoyed her stay, was well cared for and bonded immediately with Bonni’s dog and the two other smaller dogs she was sitting. Bonni was very thoughtful in texting me pictures of how Murphy was doing and reported to me everyday how she was eating, sleeping, and getting along with the other dogs. I will definitely be a repeat customer, in fact I have another reservation with Bonni in about a week. I highly recommend Bonni if you want peace of mind that your dog is well cared for.”

I got daily pictures and updates so that I never had to worry 🥰 Our dog needs daily medicine and they had no problem making sure she got it, they were even able to get around her pill defenses by putting it in cream cheese (a new trick I'm definitely adopting)! I was especially happy to hear how well our dogs got along and that lots of play and tug of war sessions were had 😄 Pepper was treated like family and we'll absolutely rebook next time we have to go away.”

“Amazing! Rebecca is a dog lover who adored our fur babies. She sent daily pics and videos and let us know how they were doing in a new place. One of our dogs is getting older and needed some extra attention as he's starting to have accidents. She was extremely accommodating and understanding of his situation. So glad we found her and we will be using again. She is a special caretaker you can trust.”

I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Our dogs had so much fun at Miranda’s house! We got pictures and videos to see what they were up to throughout our stay. We will definitely rebook with Miranda again!”
“Jamie and Patrick were awesome. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. This was my dogs first stay away from us and they were understanding of that. Trustworthy, friendly and caring. I would definitely use them again.”

About: I have a passion for high-frequency experiences and environments as well as spreading positive energy wherever I go! Because animals are naturally more connected to existential energies, I find that spending time with them helps keep my frequency high and I can be of better service to the Collective! They have so much to teach us when we tune in... As owner of my previous pet sitting business, daily responsibilities included scheduling client visits, creating/sending invoices, walking/playing with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as other types of interesting creatures, cleaning up after them, feeding them, overhauling litter boxes, occasionally administering medications, and regularly communicating with clients regarding daily visits with their pet(s). 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. All instructions will be followed regarding the safety of your pet(s) and I will be in contact immediately should anything unexpected occur.
“Natasha did an awesome job! My dog really enjoys her stopping by, she does a great job making sure my dog gets enough time outside. She plays with her even though my dogs a Pitbull mix and plays ruff and even cleans her paws so my house isn't left muddy. Also does a great job communicating back and forth and sending pictures👍👍”

About: I’m a total animal lover who doesn’t mind being slobbered on! I love being active and going to the park or on long hikes. I can also just lounge around and cuddle if that’s what your dog needs. I have had pets my whole life and currently care for my English Bulldog, Scoop who I adore more than anyone! I’m able to give dogs medication without a fuss and I’m a local Herbalist who makes flower essences which my dog Scoop takes regularly for his emotional issues due to him being a rescue.

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.

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.
“Lauren and Devan were so great helping my nervous little dog get comfortable and feel at home on long days in a strange place. I felt she was safe around other dogs and was so glad that she got more playful and relaxed after being there for a short time”
“FIRST TIME USING THEM ….. AND THEY WERE GREAT SITTERS ….WILL USE AGIAN …. Love that they kept us informed and updated of there stay 5stars all day long …. Love Thor and Red”
“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”
“Kimberly was very patient with Rio, who was very intimidated by her beautiful, big Ridgebacks. Kimberly seemed very willing to let them get acquainted slowly, but Rio was shy and needs more experience with other dogs. Kimberly followed all my instructions for feeding and treats. She has a big yard and a large shaded patio for the dogs. They are able to also go into a big enclosed garage- like space to get out of the heat or cold.”
“Cindy was great with my 2 year old baby. I sent Sandia for my 12 hour shifts and Cindy was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I got lots of picture updates. Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets with medical conditions that require close monitoring. My experience includes administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring behavior changes, and providing patient, compassionate care. I have experience caring more multiple pets in the same household and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines while their owner is away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving the owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates. I treat every pet like my own and take pride in providing dependable, trustworthy care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I build my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, so I make it a priority to follow each pet's routine and provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether its a drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I am committed to making sure pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home. pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a clean, pet-friendly environment. I take time to play with them, monitor their behavior, and make sure they are comfortable throughout their stay. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely to keep pets on their regular routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication as needed, and providing companionship. I also make sure the house is respected and left cleaned while keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can have a peace of mind while away.
“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!!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Daycare with James was awesome! My dog Addie was very comfortable at his house and I could tell she really enjoyed being around him. James was quick to respond to any of my questions and I will definitely be booking him for daycare again soon!”
“Melinda was wonderful, she took amazing care of Willie. I received pictures and updates on how he is doing. She is warm and responsible and takes good care of those fur-babies! highly recommend and will come back.”
“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!”
About: I have provided care for cats and dogs for many years. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs that need more attention due to health issues. I will be available Monday-Friday, 9-5pm. I would love to hang out with your pets all day! I work from home so I can care for your animals during my work day. I will care for your animals, take them to the dog park, feed, water and even walk in the park. I have a small pool in my backyard for cooling off in the summer months.
“I had such peace of mind leaving my dog with Charles for doggy daycare. Charles updated me regularly with photos and accommodated my variable drop off and pick up times. I will definitely utilize Charles again!”
“This was the first time I have left Horace with a sitter and I am so pleased how well it went. Celeste responds immediately to texts and sends photos of how the day is going. So appreciated. I would send Horace to Celeste’s for the day in a heartbeat!”

About: I have grown up with big dogs since I was little as well as 2 cats! I’ve been with huskies and pomskies as well as labradors and shepherd dogs! I can take care of high energy and low energy dogs! I love cats as well! I know their temperament and how to approach them! My friends have had pit bulls which I do not discriminate against! I have helped with raising puppies and taking care of sick dogs, I promise to treat your pet with the utmost respect and care as if they were my own child! I am working part time at Starbucks and I work on Wednesday’s Thursday's and Sunday's, other than that I have morning classing Monday-Friday and I am good! I do online school so my schedule is very flexible for leaving in the mornings, and sometimes afternoons! At my home we have a big back yard and it is fenced in, we let our animals inside the house as well as outside, I don’t do pet care in my home because we have 4 big dogs and two cats and that would just be stressful on our dogs and cats as well as the dogs or cats I’m taking care of!
About: I'll make sure to take care of your family like if they were my own family. Each family member is treated with care and love. I'm a stay at home parent so I have loads of free time and what is better than filling that up with cuddly adorable pets. As soon as I wake up in the morning I will make breakfast for my family and myself and then proceed to feed the dogs as well. And through the day we will all hang out and even go for walks.
About: I'll he honest, I've only cared for other people's animals a couple times and it's been random and brief but it went great each time! I myself have had many animals and still do. Dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes…let’s not forget the kids. 😉 Totally joking, although they can be wild. 😏 I currently homeschool my 3 kids. I work part time and have a very open schedule. There's plenty of time for my kids and I to care for, walk, play or board your fur babies! I have a fence yard and a large dedicated dog run. It has tons of shade and space to run and play. I have 5 dogs to keep pups company. I can kennel or dedicate their own space as well.
About: I pet sat dogs when I was younger and cats for years. I have more time now that my kiddo is an adult and would love to give your babies a lot of attention. 🐶 😺 Please note that my rates are for stays under 2 weeks and include 1 walk per day for dogs. I am happy to lower rates for longer stays (over 2 weeks), and happy to add additional walks for an additional fee. Thanks for considering me! 🐕 I currently work from home Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a LOT of flexibility. I am available overnight 7 days per week with little notice and can adapt to your pets needs and routines. I can care for pets in your home and follow your rules and your pets needs as directed. I'm an adult with a grown kiddo who also loves animals and can give extra attention! ❤️
About: I have had animals my whole life, and have worked in the pet industry for 6 years. My day job experience has been at 2 different local pet food stores, where I’ve learned a lot about the needs of dogs and cats, as well as body language. My old job had foster cats, so I have experience taking care of up to 10 cats at a time (feeding, litter cleaning, meds, and playtime). I also have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I love walking! I enjoy taking my own dog on short walks or really long walks to get his energy out. I have experience with high energy dogs that may pull or not be comfortable around other dogs or people. I also have experience with puppies and kittens, and special needs pets. I’ve owned 2 disabled dogs that required diaper changes, meds, and regular bathing and cleaning up after them. I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I start the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!
“Karen is a caring dog enthusiast! My 2 Shih Tzus look forward to their mid-day break while we are at work. Karen sends cute pictures of my fur babies that just brighten my work day! I will use Karen many more times!”
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.
About: I have loves dogs for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs of my own, and have a lot of experience of dog breeding and taking care of their puppies who have all gone to nice homes. I love the animals with all my heart is my dream to become a vet ever, since I was little. I also have a bird who is living a long nice life, taking care of her has shown me how to stick to a schedule and to watch out for any hidden details, since birds hide their sickness well, because of that it has also helped me identify if anything is wrong with my dogs. We have Paisley (9), Olly or Oliver (6), and Pepper (3). They are all extremely kind and do great with other dogs. They are Cavalier, King Charles spaniels. Paisley has had 3 litters and Pepper 2. Because of their litters I have experience delivering the puppies and taking care of them until they go to their new home, if you want to see if this is true, you can go to my moms website “Turners Cavilers” on Facebook and you’ll be able to see the lil’ cuties! I am available any time of the day! My job just recently closed down and I’m a college student so I’ve been looking for jobs that could help my exercise and work from home so I will be able to do my assignments! But if anything came up I would be able to let you know immediately and work with you to see how we can still come to an agreement! How I care for my pets is we have a water bowl inside and out, we feed them at very specific times to avoid them gaining to much weight and take them on occasional walks, the backyard is fenced with green grass (besides a patch of dead grass where the dogs have made a path) there’s is plenty of shade in the backyard if your dog tends to get warm easily, but most of the time we keep our dogs inside and have a huge dog bed for all three of them. If your pet requires it we do have dog bowls and I can keep out for your pet. We also have crates if this is something that you want for your pet if I ever offer overnight stay. Our three dogs are extremely playful and friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs. We also have our own grooming station in our garage that we use for our own dogs.

About: I worked at the Albuquerque BioPark zoo for 5 years taking care of many types of animals. My time there has made me passionate about providing the highest quality animal care and enrichment. I make it my goal to give your pets a stay-cation while you vacation or work! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, and also small animals, birds, and barn animals. I am especially good with elder pets and am familiar with their mobility and medication requirements. I currently dog-walk and pet-sit full time so I’ll be able to provide lots of care and attention during the day/evenings. I usually only leave the pets for a few hours at a time and can adjust this to fit your schedule. I usually do not care for pets in my home. I believe that by staying in your home and keeping pets in their usual routines, they thrive the best.

About: Reactivated 6/2025. I have a great amount of experience with dogs & many animals. I have been taking care of mostly dogs for 7 years now. I professionally boarded dogs in my past homes in Hawaii and Washington, d.c. I made bonds with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, & genders. I always adapt to each dog as they are unique. I am always striving to make them as comfy & stress free as possible in my care. I also enjoy living an active lifestyle & seeing a dogs smile while on a walk adds to my day. I like to make dogs feel as though they are on vacation, yet I enforce what my clients do in their own homes to maintain. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make our experience better. I look forward to connecting with you & your pet! If we are not able to do a Meet & Greet... I understand last minute things come up. If there is a time where we are not able to meet, I will ask questions about your animal through Rover. I am comfortable asking questions & you answering them honestly over message before drop off. We can also Facetime or Zoom if you would like to and/or prefer. I do work full time alongside taking care of pets. I am willing to help and accommodate when possible. Message to discuss details. Thank you! I take care of any and all pets as if they are my own. Animals are the most innocent and loving beings that deserve the world for their short lived lives.
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.
About: I’m a total animal lover who doesn’t mind being slobbered on! I love being active and going to the park or on long hikes. I can also just lounge around and cuddle if that’s what your dog needs. I have had pets my whole life and currently care for my English Bulldog, Scoop who I adore more than anyone! I’m able to give dogs medication without a fuss and I’m a local Herbalist who makes flower essences which my dog Scoop takes regularly for his emotional issues due to him being a rescue. I meditate quite frequently and I think dogs can sense that I have a calm demeanor and a love for them that is unconditional. I have a large, fenced yard with lots of shade that dogs just love.

I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Our dogs had so much fun at Miranda’s house! We got pictures and videos to see what they were up to throughout our stay. We will definitely rebook with Miranda again!”
“Jamie and Patrick were awesome. Easy to communicate with and very responsive. This was my dogs first stay away from us and they were understanding of that. Trustworthy, friendly and caring. I would definitely use them 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...”
“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!”
“As always these gentlemen have spoiled my cat absolutely rotten! Even pulled out their own personal heating blanket for her to use.(She’s a hairless cat and gets chilly easily.) They are extremely accommodating to my last minute plans and just in general an absolute pleasure to work with! Even did some minor wound care and she looks almost completely healed! These guys are the best!”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
“Debbie took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated that she accepted on short notice. It was a short stay but it was nice knowing Zipper was in good hands”
“Emily and her family were absolutely wonderful with Mr. Elwood. She was incredibly communicative, providing daily photos and status updates that kept my mind at ease. When Mr. Elwood faced some minor challenges, Emily handled them with grace and expertise, ensuring he remained safe and happy throughout. I’m so grateful for their support during my business travels. Highly recommended!”
“Doug was very easy to communicate with and took great care of my two pups while I was on a quick over-nighter out of town. Will definitely use again for any future dog-care needs while traveling!”

“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
“Holly and Robert’s place is the best! They are super attentive to all dogs under their care and treat each dog like a member of their family. They are major dog lovers and take the time to learn about your dog before boarding. They are very knowledgeable about dogs and I felt super safe leaving my dog in their hands. My dog had a 15 night stay at their place and he had the best time- he even made a new friend! We were provided photos and updates every day. It truly felt like I was leaving my dog in the trusted hands of a family member!”
