“Chandra is incredible with dogs! We stayed in Taos on our way home to Arizona after visiting family in Denver and Chandra took care of our dogs while we were in town. We have a Golden Retriever and lab mix. Chandra has a huge property where our dogs were able to explore, run and play with her dogs. In addition, she took our two dogs for a hike. She sent me text updates and many pictures. I could definitely tell she loves dogs and doted on our pups while they were in her care. We have used several Rover dog sitters where we live in Scottsdale, AZ and other locations. Chandra is certainly one of the best Rover dog sitters we have hired thus far!”

About: I did not grow up with cats, but I did grow up working with horses which meant having lots of cats around. I enjoy the eccentricities of cats and letting them chose how they interact with me. My method is to give them opportunities to interact if they so choose! I am very respectful of a cat's physicality and do not tend to pick up cats unless they owner tells me that is what they like. And then I still listen to the cat's communication! I am happy to provide special attention to medications or other routines.

About: Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets. I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.

About: Cats are the easiest of all, probably because they're so smart. I tend to enjoy cat sitting the most, so most requests for cats are easily approved!

“Adelita was incredible. Our puppy absolutely adored her right from the start, and came back a happy boy. She went above and beyond, took him to the park, and let him play with her dogs at home. She worked on training with him and gave him treats to reward him. She was willing to pick our puppy up and drop him back off with us, making our plans for the day so much easier. She also took the sweetest pictures of our puppy so we could see how his day went. Highly recommend!!!!”

“Bonnie took extra time to do a meet & greet the day before doggy day care. It was evident right away that her energy/personality would be a perfect match for Ally. Bonnie took extra good care of our little gal. She was gentle and patient. Thank you, Bonnie for making us feel calm and confident about leaving Ally with you.”

“Sara really went above and beyond for us and we are so grateful for her.”

About: Hi! My name is Cal, and I’ve been working with dogs since I was a kid. I grew up volunteering at the humane society and took classes in college on how to train shelter dogs. I have two dogs; one Golden Retriever and one Red Heeler who love to play with other dogs. They are high energy, so we go on regular hikes every day. I’m a firefighter/EMT, so you can feel safe knowing that I can render care if needed. If your dog likes to go on hikes, they’ll have a good time with us. I currently work weekends and some Fridays. My schedule is pretty open during the week and I am flexible to be there when you need me. I have trackers for my dogs and can provide one for yours if your dog is good off leash. I follow directions well and can tailor my day based on your needs.

“Callahan is calm and trustworthy. My dog enjoys the time he spends with Cal and his pack, and always comes home tired. Great communication and follow through. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Callahan for taking such good care of my boy!”

About: I am a writer and thus would be mostly at home with your animals. I lost my own dog in recent years, and find that I do best when I have dogs and cats to look after. I love being interrupted by a dog asking for attention and play! Walking is a joy for me. I specialize in tuning in to what anxieties need clear support and confidence to help build successful interactions. I welcome caring for animals with special dietary or medication issues. To have the company of a senior dog or a puppy is something I really look forward to. I organize my working rhythms around pet care. I enjoy having my work broken up with odd tasks and interruptions from animals. In general, providing pet care generally makes me more productive in other areas of my life. I like having a set walking and feeding schedule, and then everything flows from there. My work is portable on my laptop, so as long as I can have a perch to work at, I can be present for animals in the spaces they are accustomed to having company in. I do house visits, walking, and home stays. I enjoy staying overnight with animals because we can tune into each other. I try to get a sense of how the animal parent interacts with and supports their animal through daily routine, and then try to replicate that routine. I pay close attention to what they animals are saying about what they need, and what brings about their contentment.

About: A lifelong animal lover, I will love your pets just like you do! I can drop by your place for a doggie visit, so your dogs can be let outside mid-day, and I can take them out for a good long walk, let them sniff around, handle their business, burn a few calories. I can give snacks, feed and administer meds as instructed, even brush or snuggle with dogs and with kitties too, in your home or mine! I even pick up poop and clean litter boxes. ;) I volunteer with Stray Hearts and have completed Foster training, and walk dogs occasionally. I can sit dogs at my place too, I call it DD's Doggy DayCare. I'm located north of Questa in the small "town" of Cerro, close to the Wild Rivers Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. I'm flexible, schedule is usually wide open except for a few appointments or photo shoots. I retired from the Army in 2016, basically now a stay at home mom to a teenage boy, who also loves pets. I try and stay home with my dogs as much as possible, but in my spare time I normally just volunteer at VFW Post 9516 and substitute at the local schools when needed. My family and I have 4 acres of fenced in yard, (gate will have to be closed at driveway for dogs to roam freely) but I have a small front courtyard which I can keep small dogs inside, with artificial grass for them to potty on and an extra large crate to use when they're ready to nap indoors. My family and I have a super friendly 7-year old yellow lab named Gracie and an almost 2-yr old named Mama Spot.

“Chandra is incredible with dogs! We stayed in Taos on our way home to Arizona after visiting family in Denver and Chandra took care of our dogs while we were in town. We have a Golden Retriever and lab mix. Chandra has a huge property where our dogs were able to explore, run and play with her dogs. In addition, she took our two dogs for a hike. She sent me text updates and many pictures. I could definitely tell she loves dogs and doted on our pups while they were in her care. We have used several Rover dog sitters where we live in Scottsdale, AZ and other locations. Chandra is certainly one of the best Rover dog sitters we have hired thus far!”
