“Stephanie was great with my Poochie. She took care of him as her own. He seemed to be comfortable and at home while being watched, which gave me peace of mind, I will be using her again my next weekend out of town! 🥰”
“Karen is truly wonderful. Entrusting anyone with my fur baby was a tough thing to do but she has made it easy. Baylee does very well with her and she loves to run and play in her huge yard. Karen keeps me informed the entire time she has my girl. I have a long trip coming up and I am fully confident Baylee will be well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Miranda did a great job taking care of our German Shepherd, Oso! She has lots of outdoor space, she gave him a ton of attention, and always kept us updated on his stay with tons of pictures and videos! She also accepted a last minute booking from us after other plans fell through, which we really appreciated! You can’t go wrong with Miranda!”
“Rebecca was outstanding! She clearly loved and cared for our puppies during our recent trip, and we'll definitely use her again. We couldn't be happier with the service. From our first meeting, she put us at ease about leaving our pets, and she provided updates with adorable pictures that showed how much fun they were having. It was a huge relief knowing our puppies were in such caring and friendly hands.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.
“I couldn't be happier. Our experience with Jaime couldn't have been more flawless. I'm so glad we made this choice, I feel like our dog Chelsea was having a vacation of her own and not just in a kennel. Jaime's dogs were friendly and a perfect match. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea was as disappointed to come as we were to end our vacation. Highest recommendations.”
“I was so glad to have had Melissa and her sweet family watch Olivia. She was so reassuring and made me feel like I didn't have anything to worry about, and I didn't at all. Daily updates and pictures of my pup. When we met she answered any of my questions and gave me great info on just what Olivia would be doing, where she'd be sleeping, etc. It was so great to be able to leave Olivia with a family instead of a kennel. So friendly and reliable, I'll definitely be going back.”
“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”
“Once again, Laura and Ruben saved the day. We requested a last minute booking and they accepted no questions asked. Our boy Monty loved his stay as always and we are so grateful!”
“Courtnay did a great job with my two frenchies. Always sent pics and videos to keep me up to date and my pups seemed very happy and looked like they had a good job.”
“Cheri was great!! She gave Dax time to get used to her house before introducing him to her precious dog. She sent pics and updated me when I picked Dax up. I was running late and she was very gracious about that.”
“Drop off and pick up was easy because Vanessa was flexible with the times. Vanessa has a welcoming home and asked if the dogs were allowed in the bed with her; a simple question but it was good to hear that she would respect our boundaries. Our pups came home happy.”
About: Here's a bio you can drop straight into Rover — written to lead with trust and play up your small-dog experience: --- Hi, I'm Gaby! Your dog will feel like part of the family the moment they walk in. I share my home with three schnauzers, so I've spent years fluent in the small-dog world — the big personalities, the specific quirks, the way a little dog just wants to be in the middle of everything. That's exactly what I'll bring to your pup. I'm based in Mesa Del Sol and offer boarding and dog walking, with a focus on small dogs who'll fit right in with my crew. Your dog won't be a lonely guest, they'll have three friendly companions, a cozy spot to settle, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My large patio is great for supervised outdoor time, and I build in regular walks so everyone gets their exercise and sniffs in. What you can count on: frequent photo and video updates, a consistent daily routine, and honest communication about how your dog's doing. I'm background-checked through Rover, and I treat every dog like I'd want mine treated when I'm away. Have a pup with special routines, medications, or a shy streak? Just tell me — I'm happy to work with! Yes! My husband and I are a duo/team. I go on long walks in the morning to Tucker out the pups before heading to work. Then my husband watches them and takes them out for a mid day stroll (temperature willing) before I return home at 3 pm. Weather/temperature allowing I take the dogs on 1-3 mile walks once I am home. I love to play with the animals as it brings me joy. I find happiness in providing attention and time to your best friend. The apartment is completely safe and will receive many walks along with play time in the park.
“Kudos to Jacqulyn for a job well done. I was in a bind with a pre-scheduled trip and a special needs cat who needed human supervision. My cat, Niso, suffers from a neurological disorder and has difficulty maintaining his balance. He is on medication and requires special care. Jacqulyn never hesitated to accept the assignment, and she delivered quality, first-class care for Niso. I highly recommend Jacqulyn.”
“Sabrina was amazing!! My dog absolutely loved her and staying at her home. Sabrina provided a lot of pictures and videos and did a great job with administering my dog’s daily medication! I definitely recommend Sabrina if you are looking for a sitter!”
“Tracy and her family were AMAZING with our dog Chip. He is a recent rescue with anxiety so when looking for a sitter, I wanted a family that he could integrate with. At Tracy's, he felt right at home and immediately bonded with their daughter. When I picked Chip up after a very long stay, he was happy and healthy. Tracy provided regular photos/updates and answered any questions that I had. I would absolutely book with Tracy and her family again. Thank you!!”
“I have written a 5-star review for Celeste before, and am writing another one because she really went above and beyond this last time we left our dog with her! We ran into travel issues and couldn't get home until a full day and a half later than expected; Celeste was so flexible and very responsive through the whole time, and took such good care of our dog! He absolutely adores going to Celeste's and his little tail starts going like a fan whenever we go near her place. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“I’m so happy we found Ryan to watch our GSP on short notice when we came in town for a wedding! He is friendly and treats your dog like his own. He was excellent in communicating and ensuring our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Ryan to take care of your pets and would use him again!”
About: I’ve taken care of various types of animals so I know how to make sure everything is comfortable for them and they feel at peace I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to walk, play and care for animals of others. Can’t wait to start! I do not have a fenced yard, I also have two dogs and two cats who are all very friendly with other animals to keep our guest company and entertained.

About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats that require extra patience and attention. I understand that every cat is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and comfort levels.

I also recognize the importance of respecting a cat's space and helping them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable. stress-free care that keeps cats happy and gives their owners peace of mind.

“My cat, Brutus, received excellent care. When I returned home, he showed no signs of stress as he had shown previously when he stayed away from home. I hope to use Jennifer again.”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs/cats as well as families pets, I can create a big connection with animals, especially dogs, I have a big heart for all animals I’m currently a stay at home mom of a toddler and she loves animals just as much as me, walking dogs or having to go visit them would get us out of the house and we’re almost always free. I do have a little Banana Bread side business too. I have a fenced yard, 3 dogs (a saint bernard thats a bit older, a chihuahua and a blue heeler mix) and one cat, the cat is an outdoor cat. Our dogs haven’t been around too many other animals besides families dogs but once they meet new dogs and get to know each other they can get along well with them.
“Karen is a joy to work with. She is obviously an animal lover. She certainly has the. ‘Magic touch’ when it comes to making our Emit kitty feel comfortable and loved while we were away. I really appreciated the photos and updates daily. I’ll definitely booking Karen next time we’re going out of town. Thank you Karen for your excellent care. We appreciate you.”

About: People laugh when I say "dogs are my only friends." Started in 2022, I never imagined this would become my full time job. Ive grown up around animals my entire life, from horses, cows, chickens, goats, fish, dogs and cats, so its truly an honor to be able to pursue something I love and care for so deeply. I have lots of experience in specialized care, from potty training, to senior care. My goal is to always make the dogs feels like home, and ensuring small controlled environments for a stress free stay, all while building their confidence, to maintain a happy healthy dog. I live on an acre fenced in with 5ft high piped fence all the way around. The yard is very secure. There is lots of room for dogs to explore and play. The property is shaded by a variety of trees. We have a mini swimming pool setup to cool the paws off during the hot summer months. We have a large concreted shaded porch. It is very cozy and welcoming. I do this full time as mentioned above, so I am around dogs pretty much 24/7, but some other passions I have is gardening. When you pull up to the property during spring and summer you will see that I have flowers hanging on every post on the porch. I also have a garden in the back fenced off from the dogs that I tend too. We also have chickens! (Dont worry they are completely safe and fenced in from the dogs and any other predator that would want to reach them.) I am licensed and insured as well as Pet CPR/First Aid certified. Some services I offer: In my home: Daycare and overnight pet sitting. At your home: Drop in Care. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I do pet daycare and boarding full time. So you can imagine just how much of my daily life is revolved around dogs. I spend a majority of my days with them. I have a fenced secure yard, 5ft tall piped fence all the way around. My goal for in home sitting is to try and keep their routine the same as much as possible. We also have cameras setup and if we’re not at the home, the dogs are still monitored.
“Daniel was great with our dog Lola, took her walking and running and making her special breakfast and dinner! Kitties did great even though one did hide for a while which is her norm. House was left very clean and I really appreciate his daily updates.Will definitely use again!!”
“Spencer was a great communicator and authentically excited to spend time with our senior cat, Cash! Cash warmed quickly to him and said he had a lot of fun with Spencer. Thorough updates and pics, I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing he was being taken care of!”
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”

About: Hi there, I'm a stay at home mom who has always loved animals. Before having kids I was a groomer and kennel technician. Growing up I always had pets. Dogs, cats, lizards, gerbils, snakes, fish, pigs, horses, birds..i'm probably forgetting a few lol. I was the weird kid, saving every bug or animal around that was in danger. I'm very compassionate and empathetic. I was a very gentle groomer. I'd be happy to take care of your grooming needs as well although I dont have all the equipment..i can trim/dremmel nails, clean ears, sanitary shave, trim around the eyes, bathe and such. I have no problem administering medication. My kids are great with animals as well and love to help out. We have dogs and a cat of our own but your pets are welcome to have a room for themself if they stay over or they can join the pack! If we seem like a good fit for yall, lets chat! We are pretty much always at our home, if not at the park or out running errands. We can work around your schedule, no problem! We live on acreage, although not fenced. Leash walking is not an issue and we can take them to the back of the property to run around as well! We have 4 dogs of our own so we know how to manage a pack.
“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
“Tracy was incredibly kind and caring with our fur baby, she was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during her stay. Also super flexible! Our pup loved Tracy!”

About: I have owned a dog since I was 5, and cats shorty after. I have always been a huge animal lover and have owned my own dog throughout the years. Currently, I have a 13 year old Boston Terrier/Boxer mix and a 1 year old cat. But my love doesn't stop with them! I love taking care of any furry friend & have for many years. How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I work from home so I have the ability to tailor my schedule to fit every need! We are home most of the time so our babies are indoor pets! We allow our dog to sit on the couch and sleep in the bed for maximum cuddles! Furry friends with more rules will abide by those (no secret couch sits) but will still receive all the love and attention they need. Walks are given with playtime for the most stimulation.

I understand all pets are different and that their needs vary. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs that your pet may have.
About: Hello everyone!! I am an honorably discharged Army Veteran (served 11 years), as well as a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I was raised surrounded by animals and being responsible for their wellbeing, so I understand, and I am aware of what it takes to care for animals. I know how to give oral medications/insulin/injections. I do pet sitting for fun; however, I have been considering doing it full time. I enjoy meeting all animals and maintaining a client base. I have one kitty cat that is about 14 years old, she is a rescue. Unfortunately, my dog Zeus (the golden retriever on my profile) passed away 4 months ago. I will care for your animals and treat them as I treat my own, with love and compassion. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I would be happy to answer any questions. I am currently switching over to doing this full time, so your pets will have my full attention (along with my pets of course lol). I’ll care for your dogs and cats as I care for my own. With love, compassion, and lots of pets (even lots of pets for cats if they let me).
About: I've owned dogs my whole life. German Shepherds and high energy dogs are my wheel house. But have plenty of experience with smaller dogs like Pomeranians and bigger dogs like great Pyrenees. Cats I've raised from nursing kittens to senior cats. I also am familiar with reptiles such as snakes and lizards. I can also care for small pets such as hamsters and guinea pigs and rabbits. Just inquire me if you have a special pet you might not find often. I work a full time job Monday through Thursday, I also have my own pets. All rescues. 4 guinea pigs, 4 cats, 1 dog, and a sand boa. I have a fully fenced yard and a high energy 90lbs dog. Inside, the small animal room stays closed to keep them safe, the rest of the house is built for my cats
About: Looking for a reliable and loving sitter to accompany your pets while you’re away? Look no further! Providing a safe, loving, and tailored care, just like you’re still home. My availability is fully open at the moment. I’m free on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to adjust my schedule as needed. Reliability, communication, and flexibility are priorities for me, so coordinating times is never an issue. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, love, and genuine care. I’m passionate about creating a calm, gentle environment where your pet feels safe and understood. Your guidelines and preferences are always my top priority, and I make sure their routine, comfort, and happiness are fully respected. Your pet’s well being truly matters to me.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats and am confident in providing attentive, reliable care. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I strive to provide dependable care so owners can feel confident while they are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I currently care for two kittens and a puppy, so my schedule includes feeding, playtime, walks, training, and cleaning throughout the day. Because I’m used to balancing the different needs of young pets, I’m organized, attentive, and consistent with routines. This makes it easy for me to provide reliable, high-quality care for additional pets during the week. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision, regular feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow established routines and provide age-appropriate care, including training support for puppies and enrichment for kittens. In a client’s home, I respect their space and closely follow all care instructions to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. This includes feeding, walks, litter box or waste cleanup, playtime, medication if needed, and regular updates to owners. My goal is to maintain consistency, reduce stress, and ensure each pet feels secure and well cared for.
About: From fostering a Great Dane and her seven puppies to caring for my own aging dog sick with cancer, I can care for animals at any stage. I’m newish on Rover, but I have been traveling and pet sitting all over the country, so my reviews are on Trusted House Sitter for reference. I look forward to chatting! I work during the week and remotely at times, so I have flexibility to accommodate any schedule. I have a car and can transport wherever. It’s just me and my dog in my apartment, but we have a first floor with a small yard out front that Kesey likes to sunbathe in. All the neighbors stop and say hello.
About: Hello! I’m a 31-year-old work-from-home entrepreneur and former flight instructor with a passion for animals. After graduating from the University of Florida in 2015, I moved to Los Angeles, where I worked as a nanny before becoming a flight attendant. It was during that time that I discovered my love for aviation, eventually earning my certifications to become a commercial airline pilot. Now, I’m looking for additional opportunities to provide exceptional care for your pets. I’ll care for and love your fur babies as if they were my own, ensuring they are safe, happy, and well-looked after. I’m responsible, flexible with scheduling, and have reliable transportation, making me available to accommodate any special needs, including transporting your pets if necessary. Please feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love the opportunity to support you and your pets! My schedule is flexible and easily accommodating to your pet’s needs. I make my own schedule and can accommodate. Please reach out for more information. I have a fenced patio and a grassy side yard for the pups to play. I have easy access to walks for much needed activity and exercise.

“Karen is truly wonderful. Entrusting anyone with my fur baby was a tough thing to do but she has made it easy. Baylee does very well with her and she loves to run and play in her huge yard. Karen keeps me informed the entire time she has my girl. I have a long trip coming up and I am fully confident Baylee will be well taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Miranda did a great job taking care of our German Shepherd, Oso! She has lots of outdoor space, she gave him a ton of attention, and always kept us updated on his stay with tons of pictures and videos! She also accepted a last minute booking from us after other plans fell through, which we really appreciated! You can’t go wrong with Miranda!”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.
“I couldn't be happier. Our experience with Jaime couldn't have been more flawless. I'm so glad we made this choice, I feel like our dog Chelsea was having a vacation of her own and not just in a kennel. Jaime's dogs were friendly and a perfect match. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea was as disappointed to come as we were to end our vacation. Highest recommendations.”
“I was so glad to have had Melissa and her sweet family watch Olivia. She was so reassuring and made me feel like I didn't have anything to worry about, and I didn't at all. Daily updates and pictures of my pup. When we met she answered any of my questions and gave me great info on just what Olivia would be doing, where she'd be sleeping, etc. It was so great to be able to leave Olivia with a family instead of a kennel. So friendly and reliable, I'll definitely be going back.”
“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”
“Once again, Laura and Ruben saved the day. We requested a last minute booking and they accepted no questions asked. Our boy Monty loved his stay as always and we are so grateful!”
“Cheri was great!! She gave Dax time to get used to her house before introducing him to her precious dog. She sent pics and updated me when I picked Dax up. I was running late and she was very gracious about that.”
“Drop off and pick up was easy because Vanessa was flexible with the times. Vanessa has a welcoming home and asked if the dogs were allowed in the bed with her; a simple question but it was good to hear that she would respect our boundaries. Our pups came home happy.”
“Sabrina was amazing!! My dog absolutely loved her and staying at her home. Sabrina provided a lot of pictures and videos and did a great job with administering my dog’s daily medication! I definitely recommend Sabrina if you are looking for a sitter!”
“I have written a 5-star review for Celeste before, and am writing another one because she really went above and beyond this last time we left our dog with her! We ran into travel issues and couldn't get home until a full day and a half later than expected; Celeste was so flexible and very responsive through the whole time, and took such good care of our dog! He absolutely adores going to Celeste's and his little tail starts going like a fan whenever we go near her place. We cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“I’m so happy we found Ryan to watch our GSP on short notice when we came in town for a wedding! He is friendly and treats your dog like his own. He was excellent in communicating and ensuring our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Ryan to take care of your pets and would use him again!”

“Frijol had a great time at Marcelo’s. Marcelo was very good with Frijol and Frijol seemed happy and well-fed when we picked him up. Marcelo’s large yard and friendly dogs were perfect for Frijol who is used to having lots of space.”
