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!”
“Jamie and Patrick were great with our dog while we were out of town. From the moment we met them we knew she would be well cared for and have plenty of playtime and attention. Jamie was great with communication and kept us updated with how she was doing and sent plenty of pictures as well. We will absolutely be booking with them again when the time comes.”
“Liz was absolutely amazing with Muppet! Great communication and flexibility. She sent us daily messages with updates about Muppet's day, and lots of pictures. Liz was very professional, friendly, and loving with Muppet. Thank you so much, Liz!”
“Bonni J was a great communicator, posted pictures and video each day. She was lovely to trust my babies with. For a second, I didn’t think they would want to come home. Wonderful job!! I will be booking her from now on.”
“Brandi was amazing! She accepted our same day request and was great at communicating and keeping us updated. Our mind was put at ease knowing they were in such great care. Would definitely book either Brandi again!”

“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!”

“Mei Mei was in good hands, I'm happy to say. She seemed to really enjoy her stay and I'm so happy we managed to Shell at the last minute. We were in a bind with boarders in the area and I gave Rover a shot and glad I did. Definitely would recommend her, and hopefully get another chance to board our pets in the near future with her again. :) Thank you!”
“Pat is a dream come true! She is constantly sending me updates on and photos of my dog, Marley, and I can tell that he loves her company. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and really takes the time to understand him. All of her dogs are really sweet and loving. Now I feel like when I go on vacation, my dog is also on vacation at Pat's house! Thank you so much, Pat!”
“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
“Great communication with text and pictures daily she took extra special care of our pup! She made him feel loved! Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”

“Alexandria always does such a great job watching my kitty 🥰 She makes sure to play with her and give her lots of attention. Thank you for your wonderful service!!”
“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”
“Brigit stayed with my cat, Minnie Muusah, for one night this week and everything seemed to go very well. Minnie is not exactly a social cat. She was traumatized as a kitten and although she has bonded with me, she is not too keen on having anyone else pet her. Brigit was not put off by this and was flexible when I had to make a small change to my travel plans. I'll invite her back the next time I need to leave town. I recommend Brigit for other pet-sitting positions.”
“This is my first experience with Rover and my first experience leaving my cats to someone else’s car here in New Mexico. I am very pleased and happy with Tabitha. My cats took to her when she came for her meet and greet with them. One cat is anxiety-ridden and the other really doesn’t like new people. So this was a pleasant surprise. I and my cats felt very comfortable setting up a schedule for Tabitha to come visit with them. They were very well taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend Tabitha to anyone who especially has cats.”
About: I dated someone for a year with cats and absolutely fell in love with the cats and not so much the partner 😂 would love to have more cats in my life
“Here’s a review for CJ’s Rover services: --- I cannot recommend CJ highly enough for her exceptional pet sitting services! We needed a last-minute drop-in visit for our dogs, Ozzie and Osito, and CJ stepped in seamlessly. From the very start, she was incredibly professional, kind, and communicative. Before we left, CJ made sure she had all the necessary information and even came for a meet and greet to ensure she was fully prepared. While we were away, she sent regular updates with pictures and texted to relay important information regarding our home and the security of our dogs. Her attention to detail and thoroughness gave us complete peace of mind. CJ is not only friendly but also extremely experienced and responsive. Her responsible nature was evident throughout the entire process. I would trust CJ anytime with my dogs and my home. She truly goes above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her outstanding care and dedication.”
“Cerah was great! She communicated regularly and responded to all my questions and concerns. I recently adopted a cat and Cerah helped me to continue the introduction process while I was away. She provided updates on how the cats were taking their food, their behavior, and her perspective on how they’re getting along. In the pictures she took, it was clear I had two very happy cats ? ? This is my first Rover experience, and Cerah calmed all my nerves while away!!”
“Rachel is a rockstar cat sitter! She thoroughly wears out my crazy kitten, so much so that she's still calm when I get home. The house is always in great shape when I get back. And she's so loving to the pair of them. I'm so appreciative of Rachel's consistent care! I would love to recommend her to a friend.”
“Leaving our cats and dog with someone new made me nervous, but Luca completely exceeded my expectations. Luca came for a meet-and-greet beforehand and asked questions about our cats and dog's routine. Luca sent multiple photos daily, giving total peace of mind. I highly recommend and will absolutely booking again.”
“Thank you for taking care of my best friends. They we’re healthy and we’ll fed upon my return. Thank you for the lovely pictures of them with your updates. It pleased me to see them in their environment while traveling.”
About: I have loved cats since my childhood and have several of my own. I have cared for cats of all ages and sizes, the youngest being 2 weeks old and the oldest being 23 years old. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with responsibilities such as administering medications, special diets, sub-q fluids, etc.
“Sydney is an absolute pleasure. Her dedication to our senior pups needs is just so appreciated. She’s also a wonderful person. So grateful to have found her!!!”
About: I have experience with everything from fiesty kittens up to grumpy old cats. I enjoy getting to know cats as each cat has their own personality and preferences. Recently, I have been helping a 21 year old cat, and with regular brushing and social interaction, he has really improved his own grooming and behavior.
“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”
“Heaven was an incredible sitter for my cats. She came every day for my 2 week trip and spent a lot of time playing with them. I strongly recommend hiring her as she'll do great for your pets”
About: For the past 8 years I have cared for pups to senior dogs. I have provided them with love, walks, cuddles, and plenty of treats. I’m currently a part-time student, with plenty of time to play with your furry friend(s)! My availability is flexible and I’m willing to work with your needs. My first priority is my furry clients safety and well-being, whilst also managing owners expectations. I can easily crate your dog if needed and provide personal attention to their special needs.
“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.”
“Taylor took great care of our two cats while we were out of town. She was kind, caring and kept us posted on our fur babies during an already stressful weekend. Definitely would rebook with her if needed to leave again!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - North Valley
“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 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!”
“Cecilia and family were very kind and understanding of Buffalo’s insecurity being left behind. Her dogs were very kind with my dog and had no issues. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures that reassured me that Buffalo was comfortable and safe.”
“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”
“We are delighted with the care Peter provided Oliver. Oliver loved going to doggie daycare at Peter’s, in particular all of the outings he went on. We will definitely call on Peter to watch Oliver in the future. Thank you.”
“I felt comfortable leaving my two anxious dogs with Mike for three days of doggie daycare while we attended a convention. I would feel comfortable leaving them with him again. Thank you!”
“Shell is the sweetest and has helped us so much to socialize our wild puppy! She always keeps open lines of communication and is the most trustworthy dog sitter we have found. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jamie was very friendly and communicated with me during the stay. She has young kids in the home for playtime with my small dog along with a friendly poodle of her own.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Brian was fantastic! His house is set up for dog play and he obviously loves all the dogs he takes care of. Teddy was happily exhausted when I picked him up. Brian was flexible with me on pick-up and drop-off times which was very helpful. I would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a safe fun place to leave their dog!!”
“Wonderful communication. Stella is thriving in environment. Really helping her to keep up her dog socialization and to get more comfortable with humans.”
“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!”
“Diane was so great with our senior rescue poodle. She looked happy in the photos she sent. Tail was wagging when we picked up and she got lots of snuggles. We will be using her again!”
“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!”
“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!”

I'm very respectful for other people's things, and I'll follow pet owners request and recommendations to take care of their home and pets.and if your pet likes a special treat please let me know. 😊
About: I am a friend to all dogs and cats! I have had pets all my life and love taking care of fur babies. I work in food service and am generally always available for a drop in, daycare, and especially a home for the holidays. I have a small, blind dog of my own. I am also experienced with giving medicine in case your little one has any conditions which require said service. Whether it's going for a long walk around the neighborhood or taking a trip to the dog park, I promise your pets will be happy and safe with me! I work mostly on weekends during the day, so most other days and times I have open availability. Whether it's a drop in or walk, it is very easy for me to add to my regular routine. I care for every animal by giving them love and attention. I am the kind of person who enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they know they are safe and well cared for.
“Rachel is prompt and easy to talk to. She pays attention and was really great with our dogs, who are a handful to walk. We will be booking her for pet sitting this month for sure.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.
“Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!”
About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.
“Mariah P. Was amazing . She did a meet and greet with us at Cygna favorite park second favorite . Then we connected the 3 of us ! I booked her that same day! She was on time and it was nice for 30 mins to have the house to me and my other little one !! I'm definitely booking her :) love the pictures she sent me :)”
“Kathryn was punctual, actually arrived a couple of minutes early, which was great. She handled our high energy GSP puppy very well! We will contact her again! Thanks Kathryn!”
“Rose helped me out in a pinch with my puppy Chase. Rose responded promptly to the request, came to meet us and receive instructions. Rose was very kind, calm and loving with Chase. He loved her and I would absolutely use her again! Thanks!”
“Greg has met with Sasha for a meet and greet, then the next day for a 60 minute walk. My Sasha came home exhausted and happy! Looking forward to doing more business with Greg.”
“Most of the Rover sitters have been great, but we were starting to run into scheduling and response-time problems with the 20-somethings. I decided to try Patricia (started out by walking both our dogs) and she is the mature and responsible dog sitter/walker we've been looking for. We plan to have Patricia do some house sitting for us soon when we can take some badly-needed time away from our business.”
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. 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. 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 or British drama).
“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.”
About: In college I was a house and pet sitter. I have had pets since I was in elementary school and am now a senior. I currently have three dogs of my own. I’m emotionally intelligent and good to work with. I work a half day as an Occupational Therapist educator in Wednesdays and as an OT practitioner on Fridays. I would be available in the afternoons on these days. I will not take care of pets in my home but am happy to come to yours to care for, walk, pet and feed your fur babies.
“Hector has been a fantastic dog walker for Dolly. She adores him and looks forward to their walks. Hector is consistently prompt and flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate even on busy days. Highly recommend his services! He is reliable, caring, and a great fit for Dolly!”

When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
“Gerri and Brian were fantastic. First my husband, and I loved that they wanted to do a meet and greet first to ensure that Lexie was the right fit. So we went the day before. After the meet and greet, my husband and I felt very comfortable leaving Lexi with them. They had a nice set up where the dogs had part of their home to pretty much call their own and a dog door to go out to the backyard where they could come and go as pleased. They had a secured backyard. The other dogs there that we met seemed very happy and none that we could determine we’re overly aggressive or anxious,- that is one of the reasons they do the meet and greet. Lexie spent a day and a night there. In a picture that was sent to us, Lexie seemed right at home hanging out on their couch and appeared to get along with the dogs and even played with some. Overall, we were very pleased with the care that Gerri and Brian provided. Sadly, we were just passing through the area, but if we found ourselves back, we would definitely use them again.”
“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
“I absolutely recommend Bill to care for your pup. My guy loved his stay with Bill and his family. I was a nervous mom dropping her boy off, but Bill made the drop-off smooth. I received daily pictures and knew my dog was being well taken care of, even a little spoiled. Thanks Bill!”
“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...”
