“Brian knows a lot about dog behavior and treats the dogs with respect and kindness. The place is clean and orderly, and the dogs are free to explore and play. I felt completely good about leaving my dog with Brian, and I'm very grateful to know of this safe place where she can stay when I need to be out of town.”

“I thought Maellen was terrific. A few days before our cruise, Lili, our corgi had to be fitted with "the cone of shame" for a skin condition. I contacted Maellen to see if this would create a problem and offered to find another sitter but Maellen said it would be fine. She treated the skin condition twice a day took excellent care of Lili for the 7 day cruise. Lili obviously had a great time and was in excellent condition. She did not seem to be in a big hurry to leave so I know she liked it. THANK YOU, MAELLEN.”

“Rosalia cared for our dog Winnie for 3 weeks while we took a dream vacation. It was pretty hard for us to feel good about leaving Winnie for so long, but Rosalia made it easy with daily updates. It was clear to us that Winnie was having a great time, which enabled us to have a good time on our trip. Thanks Rosalia!”

“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike!

“This was the ideal home for my 13-year-old boy Dimitri to spend the holidays (if it couldn’t be with our family). Alli and her family (including her husband, 3 daughters, and 2 sweet doggies) gave Dimitri lots of love and comfort. He was excited to see us pick him up, but I could tell he was going to miss spending time with them. As sad as I was to leave him for Christmas, I couldn’t have asked for a better home for him to go to. I will definitely contact them again the next time we are going out of town!”
“My cats loved their stay so much they didn't want to come home! Kathryn was easy to deal with, good communication, and obviously loves cats. Highly recommended.”

“Josie, Peter & Paco treated my pup so well while I was out of town! They were super flexible and made my dog feel right at home- I’ve really never seen him so comfortable in someone else’s space! I got plenty of updates and my dog is tuckered out from all of his playtime. Definitely will be booking with them again next time we are out of town, so glad to have found them through Rover.”
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.

“I can't say enough good things about my pup's stay with Pat! I picked him up healthy and happy and better socialized than before! I've had my 17lb nervous whippet for 4 months. I was a bit scared to leave him for the weekend... but this was the perfect fit. He got along great with Pat's 4 doggies, which I could tell through 2x/day text updates. She even let him sleep in her bed, which he loves to do! Thank you Pat! Bingo will be back soon to see you and your pups! And btw- Pat is a lovely person- gentle, knowledgeable, flexible and kind... exactly the person you'd want caring for your furry friend.”

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life, and I know first hand what it takes to care for them. I’ve regularly cleaned litter boxes, played with our cats, and taken them to the vet.

I know what it takes to care for cats, and I have immense love in my heart for our feline friends.

About: I've taken care of cats with different personalities and they are lovely. I once had an experience with a feral cat that was extremely cautious of people. He went from hissing at me to playing with me with great enthusiasm! I have given multiple cats their baths. I have the ability gain trust with them.

I do not take pets in my home as I have other animals in the house. I am happy to provide care at the clients home. I do walks, play time, dog parks, etc!

“We needed daycare for our small pup while traveling so we could go to a museum. Shell was responsive when scheduling and attuned to our dogs needs while he was there. Good experience all around!”

About: "I've taken care of dog's and cats of every kind i have fostered through the city of Albuquerque for years and have my own dog's and cats. Animals are truly my passion and this wouldn't be just a "job" for me. I have a flexible a schedule and you can always talk to me if you need different days or hours we can go from there. I will take care of your fur baby as if was my own. I will listen to every detail you tell me and make sure it gets done and give your fur baby lots of love and pets.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

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’ve had a few family friends and family members count on me to check in on their pets or sit them when they’re not able to be home and they’ve continued to count on me. 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!

I have two extra bowls I can provide if needed and an extra large crate to fit dogs up to approximately 100 pounds

“Kim is WONDERFUL!! She is always accommodating and loving with my two fur babies “Finch” & “Cash.” They always know where they’re going when we drive towards her house lol Kim is always understanding and accommodating when I’m running later than usual to pick up my fur babies. I cannot appreciate her more! Finch & Cash always look happy and wiggly when I pick them up :)”
