Personalized care for your dog or cat - Monticello
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Monticello
“Highly, highly recommend Rosalia. She provided great daily updates with multiple photos, and I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable in all of them. We also always have a sense of how things went when we pick him up, and that also made it clear that he'd enjoyed Rosalia's! Couldn't have been more perfect. She also has a very secure setup at her home, so, even though our dog has tried to make a run for it in the past due to his high prey drive, we didn't worry about that one bit when he was with Rosalia!”
“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!!”
“Debbie was great. I had to change my reservation several times and she was so accommodating to work with me. I have already booked her for another stay for Peanut. I will definitely be using her a lot!! Thanks Debbie!!”
“First time boarding for my 9 yr old Terrier Mix. Was concerned about his reaction to other dogs but Anne integrated him beautifully and he did quite well. She sent pictures every day. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”
“Misty, our German Shepherd had a great time running around at Jessie’s for 5 days. Jessie did a great job of keeping us informed with daily updates and pictures of the dogs having fun. Thank you again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!”
“Lorenzo was great! Kept me constantly updated with my dogs status, and sent pictures. I would 100% recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a great, experienced dog sitter.”
“Absolutely fabulous! Emily took on our cat so that we could attend our daughter’s wedding. Emily kept us posted about how our cat was doing and took care of everything. An absolute lifesaver! Thank you Emily :)”
“This was my first time leaving my two dogs overnight at a strangers house and I'm so glad it was with Marissa!! She both reassured the dogs, AND she also was reassuring to me - and that helped a lot. She sent me updates and photos and took really good care of my two dogs that were not at all used to staying somewhere other than my house. It felt to me like she got to know each dog personally, not just give them food and shelter for the night... I would certainly book with her again when the need arises!!”
“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!”
“Kate was great! Our last sitter moved out of Albuquerque and Kate was able to watch our Gambit on short notice. She took great care of him and sent pics. Thank you, Kate! 🐾❤️”

“We have four kitties, which is enough of a challenge for anyone. But they’re also particular and quirky and two have medical needs. Brooke did an amazing job getting them all their meds and making sure they were well fed and they all like her! Would definitely rebook with her in the future.”
“Katie is utterly reliable, very flexible with arrangements and a real animal lover. My timid cat trusted her straight away. I felt very reassured knowing that Katie was caring for my cats.”
About: I have been pet sitting since my early teens watching all my neighbors' animals. I've always been an animal lover and you can see it quickly in how your animals will respond to meeting me!

I will take the time to make sure your pet is played and socialized in the manner they are most used to!
“Elliot was excellent! She took the time to meet with me before taking care of my shy cat to understand how best to care for him. Patient, attentive and not intrusive with the little guy, I found a happy, healthy cat when I came home. I definitely recommend her.”

“One of my cats has asthma and requires a daily medication, so leaving him can give me a ton of anxiety. Knowing Cristina has experience taking care of cats put my mind at ease!”
About: My family has had a cat since 2017, and I have continued to gain hands-on experience through caring for family pets. My sister also has a cat that has lived with us for the past two years and now stays with us during the summer. While most of my experience has been with family pets, I have consistently been responsible for their daily care, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and supporting recovery needs after surgery. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats and take their well-being seriously. I also believe cats are often misunderstood and are truly some of the most affectionate and rewarding animals to care for.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since 5 years old. Grooming, walking, cleaning up after them and loving them. I have added birds, ferrets, and turtles to my pets in my adulthood. I foster neonatal kittens. I have trained many dogs and have shown them in obedience. I have had elderly dogs and cats and have helped them through their needs in old age. I love to throw the ball for your dog, play with cats or just sit and pet them, make sure they have their food on time and always have water. I can walk you dog around the block or for 5 miles. I am very experienced in reactive dogs and walking them. I have had large and small dogs. My last two dogs were Dobermans. I will be reliable and follow your instructions. I am a retired Occupational Therapist and have recently lost my sweet friend and companion, my dog Scarlet. I have time now to help others out who need someone to provide love and care to their pet. I am looking to care for your pet in your home. I may, be able to take a cat or dog into my home sometimes, but I have chickens in my backyard so it is not available. At your home I can stay overnight if necessary or just come and care for your pet in the comfort they are used to. I am reliable and trustworthy and will give all the love and care your pet needs and wants.
“Alexus was phenomenal, 13/10 rating! Her notes are thorough with a dash of humor spread in. She gave our babies so much love and we can’t thank her enough!”
“Max did an amazing job. He met me the day before to receive instructions and meet Whiskey and Willow. He was thoughtful and asked smart questions. For the stop-ins, he came at consistent times each day and sent photos. He was reliable and trustworthy and I’d hire him again”
About: As a retired employee of Sandia National Laboratories with a Department of Energy security clearance, I have a lifelong passion for animals, particularly golden retrievers. I currently share my home with a rescued cat and enjoy daily walks with my pal Dixie, a very clever rescue dog in Sandia Heights. My experience includes providing companionship to individuals, including a recent stay with a lady experiencing mild dementia. I am available as needed. As a retiree, I am available most days to provide pet care, including walks and cuddles. While I am unable to have a dog of my own, I welcome the opportunity to care for your furry friend. I specialize in providing comprehensive in-home pet care, offering personalized companionship, feeding, and walking services tailored to each pet's unique needs. A fenced backyard is available for supervised activities, although the gated section has wide openings.
“Yet again, Autumn went above and beyond in taking care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She sent awesome pictures that showed how well they were getting along, and stayed an extra night when I had to change my travel plans. I trust Autumn completely with my animals, and my animals are my life. I know that she loves my fur kids, too. Very grateful to have found her!”
“Kyndal was so helpful and attentive with my two puppies on a late notice. She took them for walks, took plenty of pictures, stayed in communication, and was super flexible with my wild schedule! 1000% would rebook.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Monticello
“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”
“Kim is WONDERFUL!! She is always accommodating and loving with my two fur babies “Finch” & “Cash.” They always know where they’re going when we drive towards her house lol Kim is always understanding and accommodating when I’m running later than usual to pick up my fur babies. I cannot appreciate her more! Finch & Cash always look happy and wiggly when I pick them up :)”
“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”
“Adam was a great pet care provider for day care for our 4 year old BC. Adam promptly answered our texts when we arranged booking and for drop off. He ixx AC a friendly and personable guy. His dog a Aussie was friendly and playful. This was a great experience and we highly recommend Adam for your pet care needs. Great Job! Thanks”
“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!”
About: I have a 5-year old dog, Roxy, who is very sweet and loves making new dog friends. We live in a home with a fenced-in yard and about one block from a park that is great for dog walks. I can provide a large crate if needed. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m typically available for contact unless I’m in a meeting, but will respond soon after. Roxy gets backyard playtime and walks around the park daily. She eats one large bowl of food in the evening and also receives treats. Of course I can accommodate your dog’s schedule and needs.
“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!”
“What an amazing peace of mind!! My dog came back happy and so well taken care of! Will be booking again!! Thank you so much for your love and care to animals!”
“Paul & his wife are the best caretakers I’ve had. Our dog, Grey, loved them because they loved her like she was their own. Thank you very much, Guys! A+++”

“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
About: I have a true passion for caring for pets and always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for each one. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and respect for every pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a playful dog or an independent cat, they always receive love, personalized care, and genuine companionship—because to me, they’re not just pets, they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I carefully organize my time to ensure punctual feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and quality time with each pet. I am committed to maintaining clear and consistent communication with pet owners and to following all care instructions closely. Responsibility and consistency are very important to me, and I always prioritize the well-being, safety, and peace of mind of the pets in my care. When I care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I carefully follow their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, hygiene, and rest. I provide a clean, calm, and well-supervised environment at all times. I also pay close attention to their behavior and emotional needs, offering companionship, affection, and patience. I always respect the owners’ instructions and maintain clear communication so they feel at ease while they’re away.
“I was visiting town and needed a last-minute dog daycare option, and she was fantastic. She was very responsive and took the time to meet me and my pup beforehand, which made me feel comfortable right away. My pup was tired from the day and all the activities, but she handled her with both care and confidence. She quickly became part of the pack, played with the other dogs, and came back happily exhausted. She also sent photos and text updates, which I really appreciated. I especially liked how attentive she was with my pup’s prescribed medication. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was safe, cared for, and having a great time while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Gail was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using Rover and it was a great experience. My 11 week old puppy absolutely adored her and she gave updates and pics of the day. I am already planning to book with Gail again, I highly recommend her!”
“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”
