About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years and currently have two of my own. I have experience volunteering for animal shelters and can handle meds, clean up, walks, or assistance for special needs animals. I am insured with Pet Sitters Associates. While in my care, your fur babies are my highest priority and I will love them as if they were my own! I’m currently on a sabbatical from work and am available most days during the week. After taking care of my own, I am free for walks and play starting at 8:30am until 6pm. Peace of mind, pet safety, and your pets contentment is my highest priority and I will follow the exact instructions provided by the pet owner.
“We are very fortunate to have Katia T. in our family. Her love for animals makes us very comfortable to leave Katia T. with our precious miniature Dachshunds. Katia looked after Ray and Rosalie Sunday night. It was a same day request. While we were gone we received timely updates and pictures of the dogs lounging comfortably next to Katia T. We highly recommend Katia T. and will use her services again in the future.”

“Catherine has consistently been a super reliable friend to our pets and makes us feel so safe and happy every time we’re away. She’s quick to respond and makes sure she understands exactly what your pet needs (especially with our cat who is very picky with his food and meds). Would recommend always!”

“Kailey was the best cat sitter for our 5 month old kitten Cora! Cora has never been home alone before but Kailey made it a great experience for everyone and made sure to send us text and picture updates everytime she stopped by. A great first Rover experience for us and Cora.”


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: I’m a lifelong animal lover who cares for every pet as though they’re my own. From energetic pups to shy cats, I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I offer flexible hours, plenty of walks, and reliable care. Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I schedule time each morning and evening for walks, feeding, play, and check-ins, making sure every pet gets consistent attention, comfort, and care throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walking, and playtime at their usual times. I keep their space clean, provide plenty of affection and attention, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect that all animals are sensitive and have unique needs. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm environment with regular exercise, cozy rest areas, and presence to make sure they’re happy and healthy. If I provide services at your home, I ask that you please remove any plug-in air fresheners and minimize synthetic incense/fragrances.
About: Self-identified nature and animal lover, in transition from attorney to chaplaincy and mindfulness meditation teacher. I have cared for dogs for over 20 years, from zoomie puppies to slow-moving seniors. I am comfortable administering medication and feeding whatever combo of kibble+/-wet food your pup enjoys. Belly rubs and nature walks are always on offer. All are welcome here. I am home full-time and am able to supervise, care for and play with the dogs throughout the day. We begin each morning with an early one to five mile hike depending on energy levels and weather. The remainder of the day is free time to play, nap, repeat. Meals are usually at 8am and 4pm. In our home: Your dog will have free range of our entire home and fully-fenced acre with access to fresh drinking water at all times. There are several dog beds and toys around the house. Our resident pup Poppy is happy to share! Note: My doggie day care rate covers up to six daytime hours (between 8am - 6pm). We can add more time (starting at +$20) so you don't have to rush doing fun human-only activities. Special requests are always welcome.
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.

“Caitlin is the best! She communicates thoroughly, gives of her time and energy with the animals, and is very reliable in her services. The pictures we received well presented the cats stories while we were away. I highly recommend Caitlin for your situation.”

“Jessie took great care of our three large dogs! They loved her and were sad when she left. She went above and beyond what I requested. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and good with them. She was dependable And sent great pictures and updates. I will definitely use her again when we go back to Taos.”

“Amy was an excellent cat-sitter (drop-in visits) for us over the holidays. She was very easy to communicate with and always provided a daily update with pictures of our kitty. Would definitely hire her again!”

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.
“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.”

“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!!!!”

About: Hello! I am an active small business owner with a flexible schedule, and I am excited to help out in caring for your pup or kitty. I have lifelong experience caring for animals, and currently have a crew of 2 cats, 2 goats, and 1 rescue doggie at my beautiful 2 acres in Tres Piedras, NM. My work consists in leading local hikes with the assistance of the Nigerian Dwarf goats, "John Waters" and "David Lynch." Daisy, the 2 yo Rhodesian Ridgeback/hound mix, loves to frolic and play with other doggies, and is friendly with cats. We are conveniently located just past the intersection of 285 and 64, en route to all of the best Northern New Mexico or Southern Colorado adventures. Please feel free to check out our business, "The Little Goat House" (website and social media) for more information on us and our animals! Animals are given potty breaks, fresh water and food first thing in the morning. Pets receive plenty of love and playtime throughout the day. We take a minimum of 1 neighborhood or forest walk/hike each day with all of the animals, and we have everyone inside for dinner by dusk, followed by a final potty break before bedtime. Accommodations include the following: - Supervised unfenced outdoor activity time on our 2 acres with my own dog, Daisy - Supervised indoor time in my 1-bedroom cabin - Sleep in solar sunroom attached directly to the bedroom in my cabin, along with my own dog - Hike in neighborhood and National Forest daily

“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!”

“Audrey has been very patient loving and gentle with our grey faced lady! Prompt and very responsive communicator- and flexible with some last minute changes. Guin, who isn't a very demonstrative dog, loves her!”

“Mikayla is an absolute life saver. Not only was she kind, our meatball loved her. She was punctual, communicative and flexible. She went above and beyond. My first time using rover I was a little skeptical but Mikayla surpassed all expectations. Absolutely can not wait to use her again.”


“I hired Holly right after I got my puppy and she has been a LIFESAVER. Not only does he look forward to walks with her, but she has answered lots of questions for me as I navigate puppy-life. She is so sweet and so knowledgeable, and loving with my puppy. I can not say enough good things!”
About: Reliable pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets in home settings, including daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I am currently changing careers and have lots of flexibility. Dogs are part of my everyday life as I have 2 of them at home. My partner is retired and provides constant care to our dogs, allowing me to be available for pet sitting outside the home. I am not looking to pet sit in my home. I am interested in pet sitting outside the home. My home has a full fenced yard, and my dogs have free access to the yard and home.
“Priscilla was above and beyond amazing helping me with my dogs while I was in town working. She’s always on time and very communicative. She graciously gave me tons of info about the town and best places to walk my dogs. I will def be using her the next time I’m here.”

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.

“Great first meet-and-greet with Caitlin! She is very friendly and is a very capable and loving dog-person, even with challenging dogs. We are looking forward to having her walk and stay with our dogs again soon.”

“Tania managed a very unusual request: we had her pick up our dogs from our Venue and take them back to our hotel and feed them. We messed up giving her the key and it turned a bit chaotic and she handled it excellently. Can’t thank her enough for making sure everything still got done. She’s dependable and flexible and would recommend for any pet needs!”

About: I am very good with dogs. I have always been the person to call within my family for dog care. I love going on walks and have a very flexible schedule to cater to what you and your dogs need! I have a very flexible schedule. I am a full time student so the only things I will need to work around are my classes, but i have a light course load coming up which gives me lots of time to spend with your pets. I love walks and I love exploring hikes in San diego. I have a dog friendly household with a few roommates who LOVE animals, so if your pet has to come to my place they only have pets and cuddles to look forward to. If I am at the pets house I plan on doing the same, but with only me.

About: I have 6+ years of experience house-sitting and taking care of people's pets of all ages and breeds. Taking care of an animal and making them feel loved are two different things... I make sure to do both. I work remotely as a virtual assistant and content creator so my schedule is very flexible. I have two cats of my own that I get to spend all my time with. Whether it's just a drop-in or a walk, I provide you, your animal, and your home with respect, trust, and transparency. I can follow your lead and instructions while providing love to your furry friends.
About: I am currently back in New Mexico visiting until the end of July and I am interested in meeting new people (and animals) here. I have over 15 years professional experience in housekeeping and babysitting. I grew up with multiple pets in our home including several cats and a sweet golden retriever that my siblings and I shared in caring for. I also have experience caring for fish, birds and hamsters including their feeding and cleanup. I have had the responsibility of taking care of pets in the household I've worked in from walking, feeding, and outside time. I can be relied on to be punctual and communicative in regards to your animals. I look forward to hearing back from you and your pet! I have a shop in town that I run during the day several days a week so I can provide your pet with plenty of attention and frequent outdoor activity. I make sure the dogs have plenty of outside time and have a good ratio of rest and fun throughout the day. I have a friendly and playful red heeler that loves playing with other dogs and gets along with most cats. I am always attentive to the pets to make sure they stay close and don't stray too far.
About: Hey everyone! I am Izzi! I am a remote personal assistant & because of this I have lots of flexible hours. Apart from loads of childcare experience & nannying for many families with pets ranging from dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, I also frequently house sit & pet sit in the area Philly suburb area! I am super easy going & very flexible, I love all animals & being outside in nature. I grew up with two HUGE amazing & cuddly Bernese mountain dogs. Marshall, who is still with my family, has a ton of health problems, so typically feed him special food, provide his medication & ear drops when my parents aren’t in town. They have a place in FL & the Bernese would just be too hot in that climate so can’t go down with them! I am extremely active and enjoy yoga, hiking, skiing and running! I joined Rover because I have ample free time & would love to spend it loving your furry friends! I typically have 1-2 remote meetings a day between 9:30-1pm ET. During these meetings though I can provide house sitting services. Before & after these meetings I have tons of free time. If you need super early pet care, late/overnight care, & even during the day I am mostly free! I grew up with 2 large berneses! One is still living with my parents, who split there time between PA/FL so I often take care of him. He has TONS of health issues. He gets special mix of wet and dry food w/ coconut oil each morning, daily allergy medication, & ear drops. I’ve had to administer different medications for him as well such as fever medicine. I typically roll this medication in some cheese & that’s how he gets it down! I am capable of any type of care for any animal such as feeding, walking, giving medication, taking to the vet, taking to the park etc. My roommate also has a Pitt mix & is in Vet school, so I occasionally feed & walk him for her when she is busy. He is very enthusiastic & strong so I can manage these types of dogs !
About: I've taken care of pets most of my adult life. I've rescued dogs, feral cats and volunteer time at a horse rescue as well. I love taking dogs for hikes and/or walks, or staying in with your pet. I've trained dogs and horses throughout my life and love all breeds! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care is something I can devote time to. I'm an avid hiker, so working in dog walking is great as well. I can pick up an animal for a walk/hike or walk from the clients home. I normally like to meet the pet and owner when possible and spend some time getting to know you & your pet, their routine so they feel comfortable and safe when I arrive for our first pet sit or walk.
