“Jennifer was fantastic with our two cats and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone for roughly 5 days. One of our cats has pretty bad anxiety but she made them feel companionship and peace. Jennifer was flexible and made the best of some occasional circumstances outside of her control too, definitely would strongly recommend!!”

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.”
“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”

About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.

“Michael was great with my dog Peanut, he was very professional; he walked my dog twice and sent timely pictures and behavior reports. I used his services twice in 2 days and my dog Peanut really likes him and I intend to use his services in the future.”
“Brian has a calm energy that the dogs immediately respected, and felt safe with a confident leader! Thank you Brian for your selfless service for us to go to our seminar and have no worries at all:)”
“Brian is the absolute best! Hex did a wonderful job of making my anxious dog, Oslo, feel safe and calm. He opened his home to Oslo and gave him the freedom to be indoors or outdoors whenever he chose. Brian’s energy and interactions with Oslo made him feel so comfortable that my shy dog now loves going to Brian’s home.”
About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.
“Brandi is so nice and caring with her dogs and was the same with my dog, Buttercup. She helped make the introductions between Buttercup and her dogs go smoothly by slowly letting them meet each other. She sends pictures and updates throughout the day to keep you updated on the fun times your dog is having. Buttercup had a great time playing with Charlie and Jasmine. I was very reassured when I dropped Buttercup off and was very happy when I picked her up and saw how happy she was. Would definitely recommend Brandi to anyone looking for a safe, fun dog sitting experience.”
About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.
About: Hi\! I’m a dedicated dog lover with 3 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities\. Whether your pup needs a long walk, drop\-in visit, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m here to provide safe, reliable, and loving care\. I have experience with daily walks, feeding, refilling water, playtime, potty breaks, and following each dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress\-free\. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality, energy level, and specific needs\. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities\. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away\. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend\! **My Availability** At the moment, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Since I’m currently between commitments, I’m able to accept both scheduled and last minute bookings whenever possible. This availability is temporary, so I’m excited to help as many pet owners as I can while my schedule is open. If you need a reliable and caring pet sitter or dog walker, I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.That’s why I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they’re surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. Staying in their own environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel more relaxed. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention during walks, make sure gates and doors are secure, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and keep their space clean and safe. I also take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and routine so they receive the best care possible. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, not just a job. I love building trust with every pet I meet and treating them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is receiving dependable, loving care in the place they feel happiness your home.
“Victoria was great! She was able to watch my pups on short notice and responded quickly to my questions. My girls got to hang outside and enjoy the great views from the yard.”
“Arysta is a godsend! She understands dogs and is a true "dog whisperer." Whenever I need to board my puppy somewhere I know he'll be safe and with someone I know is dependable, Arysta has my full confidence.”

I will feed them, walk them, make sure they get daily exercise, and play time, as well as seniors if they have any severe joint problems I can help massage and make them feel better.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child. Over the years I’ve grown to know more and more about animals and it has helped me care for my own fur babies.

I also have experience caring for exotic animals. Anyone who needs care for those pets can message me as well! ** Please feel free to ask me about my coupon code for $20 off your first booking on rover :) ** I’m working part time and go to school full time so I have plenty of time for your pets on weekends and in between my work schedule!

About: Dogs of all ages are welcome here! My wife Mandi and I are lifelong dog lovers who provide a safe, fun, and loving home for your furry family member. What sets us apart is our experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. Last year, we said goodbye to our beloved 17-year-old black Labrador, Bella. Caring for her in her senior years taught us patience, compassion, and the importance of individualized care. We are comfortable caring for puppies, active adult dogs, and seniors who may need medication, extra potty breaks, or a slower pace. We are also Airbnb Superhosts and understand the importance of trust, communication, and providing exceptional care. In addition to caring for our own dogs, we've been pet sitting for friends and family for years and genuinely love welcoming animals into our home. We share our home with our two friendly dogs, Holly and Philbert. To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, all guest dogs must be friendly and non-aggressive. We require a meet and greet to make sure all dogs are a good fit and comfortable together. You can expect plenty of love, attention, updates, and photos during your dog's stay. Our goal is simple: treat every dog like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of our daily life! I am home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. My wife Amanda and I take our dogs, Holly and Philbert, on daily walks and make sure they get lots of exercise and affection. On weekends, we love taking them on adventures such as hikes, trips to the park, dog-friendly outings, and play dates. If your dog enjoys being active, we'll do our best to keep them engaged while also respecting their individual energy level and routine. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer or a laid-back couch companion, we'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. Dogs staying in our home have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel like part of the family. We have a dedicated dog room equipped with a dog door that provides access to a secure outdoor dog run, as well as a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. For cleanliness and safety, guest dogs have access to the tiled areas of our home, including the dedicated dog space and common areas, which are easy to keep clean and comfortable for everyone. My wife Amanda and I are experienced dog owners, and I am home full-time, so dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. We follow each dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate routines, and any special care instructions. For everyone's safety, all dogs are required to complete a meet-and-greet to ensure they are a good fit with our dogs, Holly and Philbert, and our home environment. We do not leave dogs unattended for extended periods. The only exceptions would be brief errands when necessary, and dogs will always be safely secured and comfortable during that time. We provide regular updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for.

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.

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.

“Crystal was amazing. She took on caring for our two dogs when one had a very complicated med schedule. This allowed us to go on our planned vacation. Both our dogs were very cared for and everything was well organized for us when we picked them up. They came home healthy and happy!”
“Great people to take care of your dog. She sent me pictures on a daily basis so I could see that Ivy was enjoying herself. I intend to use her in the future. Thank you Victoria”
“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of my doggo! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog felt comfortable at her home with her loving care and attention. Sara also took the time to give my dog her daily supplements and treats. I really felt like Sara took care of my dog like her own pets--so loving! Thank you so much, Sara!!”
“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”
“We were lucky to find Lily when our regular sitter was unavailable. When we picked Tyson up I think he would gladly have stayed longer. We would be very comfortable booking with Lily again.”
“Arysta provided wonderful care for Iggy. She kept me updated and I had no concerns while I was gone. Her human and canine family kept Iggy entertained and loved. I am 100% happy with his care! Thank you, Arysta!!”

About: Dogs of all ages are welcome here! My wife Mandi and I are lifelong dog lovers who provide a safe, fun, and loving home for your furry family member. What sets us apart is our experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. Last year, we said goodbye to our beloved 17-year-old black Labrador, Bella. Caring for her in her senior years taught us patience, compassion, and the importance of individualized care. We are comfortable caring for puppies, active adult dogs, and seniors who may need medication, extra potty breaks, or a slower pace. We are also Airbnb Superhosts and understand the importance of trust, communication, and providing exceptional care. In addition to caring for our own dogs, we've been pet sitting for friends and family for years and genuinely love welcoming animals into our home. We share our home with our two friendly dogs, Holly and Philbert. To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, all guest dogs must be friendly and non-aggressive. We require a meet and greet to make sure all dogs are a good fit and comfortable together. You can expect plenty of love, attention, updates, and photos during your dog's stay. Our goal is simple: treat every dog like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of our daily life! I am home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. My wife Amanda and I take our dogs, Holly and Philbert, on daily walks and make sure they get lots of exercise and affection. On weekends, we love taking them on adventures such as hikes, trips to the park, dog-friendly outings, and play dates. If your dog enjoys being active, we'll do our best to keep them engaged while also respecting their individual energy level and routine. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer or a laid-back couch companion, we'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. Dogs staying in our home have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel like part of the family. We have a dedicated dog room equipped with a dog door that provides access to a secure outdoor dog run, as well as a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. For cleanliness and safety, guest dogs have access to the tiled areas of our home, including the dedicated dog space and common areas, which are easy to keep clean and comfortable for everyone. My wife Amanda and I are experienced dog owners, and I am home full-time, so dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. We follow each dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate routines, and any special care instructions. For everyone's safety, all dogs are required to complete a meet-and-greet to ensure they are a good fit with our dogs, Holly and Philbert, and our home environment. We do not leave dogs unattended for extended periods. The only exceptions would be brief errands when necessary, and dogs will always be safely secured and comfortable during that time. We provide regular updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for.
