We will be back!”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“Anna was so good to our 2 fur babies. She sent photos of them playing and kept me informed of how they were doing. Our Nova made a friend with one of her dogs too. Would recommend her to others and would love to be able to take a babies back to her.”
“2nd time with Isabel. Love her energy. She’s genuinely excited to care for your dog. She sent daily updates which is appreciated! Will use her again! Very dog safe environment in the home.”
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

“She did an amazing job taking care of my cats over the holidays. The daily photos showed how happy they were, she played with them, and even vacuumed their area without being asked. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care.”
“Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.”

About: "With years of experience caring for a variety of animals, I'm a responsible and compassionate pre-vet student eager to provide top-notch pet sitting services. From dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. Trust me to give your furry, scaly, or feathered friend the love and attention they deserve while you're away."

“Paige does an amazing job. My cats where butts, leaving messes and eating things they shouldn’t have, not coming home…. Paige went above snd beyond to keep my little stinkers safe.”
About: I’ve gained hands on experience working with cats in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with handling, monitoring, and daily care. I regularly work with cats of all temperaments from friendly and social to shy or more sensitive cats that need a calm, patient approach. I also help care for boarding cats at the clinic, where I’m responsible for maintaining their routines, keeping their spaces clean, monitoring their behavior, and ensuring medications are administered accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience working with cats in both medical and boarding environments, especially those who may be stressed or away from home. Outside of the clinic, I focus on creating a comfortable, low-stress environment where cats can feel safe and stick to their normal routines.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Santo Tomas
“My little dog,Joy, stayed for daycare with Sarah for the first time a few days ago. Finding Sarah was such a blessing! Joy, who is very afraid of change and strangers, was so happy when I picked her up at the end of the day. She had played with the other little dogs and cuddled with Sarah. Sarah is very caring and knowledgeable about the needs of dogs. I am so grateful and look forward to entrusting Hoy lto Sarah‘s care in the future for sure!”
“Diana provided excellent care for our 2 Whippets! My dogs are needy and clingy- and I was worried about how they would adapt. Diana kept them happy and entertained- they were so happy with her! I am extremely pleased and look forward to many future stays. I am confident and secure leaving my precious family members with Diana🥰”
About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.

I am able to provide pets with an animal and child-free environment.

“Emily was wonderful with our energetic dog, Tallie. It is obvious that she is a dog lover. An added bonus is two friends (her two sweet pups) for Tallie to play with. A great experience and will definitely call on Emily again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
“Ren is a delightful and reliable dog sitter! I was away for several week and I had peace of mind knowing my pups we in good hands with Ren. 10 out of 10 recommend Ren and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Anna was lovely and so helpful when we were in a pinch. She walked and played with our two pups daily, arrived on time, and communicated regularly. Anna also went above and beyond what we asked of her. Super happy with the care she provided.”
About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.
About: From bottle-feeding kittens to walking neighborhood dogs, I’ve always loved pet care. I house sit, feed, and walk dogs. I grew up with two pups of my own! Senior NMSU student with an open schedule and love for every animal. I am reliable for walks, tidy cleanup, and patient, loving pet care. Fridays-Sundays are open and all other days are flexible. I keep pets happy with energetic walks, playtime, or gentle care. I’m experienced giving medications and will support sensitive or senior dogs and cats with patience.
About: I just love animals just like everyone else and am looking to help out. I’ve cared for animals the majority of my life as my parents had that responsibility put on me, I’ve house sit animals plenty times before. I’m available pretty much always, I’m taking the summer to rest as I am a very busy college student but I need something to keep me busy. I don’t have the most optimal space to care for a pet at my place but at your place I am very flexible and willing to accommodate as needed.
About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.
“Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.”
About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*

About: Hi! I’m currently in school studying veterinary care, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been surrounded by pets since the day I was born—from dogs and cats to small animals—and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends and family members, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With my background in animal care and my education in veterinary studies, you can feel confident your pet is in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. I know how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I genuinely love and prioritize in my free time. I’m available for early morning and evening visits during the weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Even with a busy schedule, I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time or feeding, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. When caring for pets, I always follow their specific routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I make sure they get the exercise they need with safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and comfort. I also stick closely to their feeding schedule, ensuring they get the right food, portions, and any treats or medications they may need. When pet sitting or checking in, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone or anxious. For cats, I make sure their litter is clean, their food and water are fresh, and they have a calm environment to relax in. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

Trust me to give your furry, scaly, or feathered friend the love and attention they deserve while you're away."

I have many pets, no pet is to small or to big. I have worked with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and I am willing to care for any pet you call family.
About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.
About: I have been fostering through the pound for the past four years and have had my own animals since birth. I have experience with almost every type of animal and love them all, even spiders! I have been watching my neighbors, friends and families animals since I was ten. I started bottle feeding kittens when I was six and have had a passion for animals since birth. I’m currently waiting to have brain surgery so I can’t have a job where I’ll have to take off. I am currently available any day and all the time! In my own home I have a 7 foot tall fence along the whole perimeter of my backyard. I have experience with crate trained dogs and dogs who are allowed out all the time. I can work with leash trained dogs and friends who are still learning. I have experience with dogs of all training levels and levels of friendliness. I currently have three cats of my own (all who I raised from a few days old) and two foster kittens who are almost a month old! I can accommodate for just about any style of parenting that makes you and your pet the most comfortable!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
About: Since I was in middle school, I was chosen as the neighborhood petsitter due to my responsible nature and love for animals. To be trusted with the care of a loved pet is the most honorable position I can think of and one that I hope to continue here in New Mexico. To keep an animal happy when their owner is away is something I pride myself in. I also have experience in dosing medicine for multiple types of animals. I'm a graduate student and TA at NMSU with flexible class schedules where I would be able to attend to the daily needs of the client's pets. Because I don't work outside of the University, there would seldom be a time that I would be unavailable for pet care needs. I have always adhered to the highest standard of the needs of an animal based on the human owner's desire and interactions with their pet. I am adaptable in a multitude of ways, including the needs of the animal I will be caretaking in their place of comfort instead of a new environment. I have a clean background check and pride myself in creating an atmosphere of trust and dependability.

“Megan did a great job with our retriever. We got nice pics and videos daily letting us know how Tali was doing. I think our pup really enjoyed playing with Megan’s kids also. Highly recommend Megan for boarding or daycare!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with this experience! Guillermo’s love for dogs is obvious! Communication was fantastic and he was super flexible with my schedule. Don’t let the drive to his location keep you from the opportunity to have him care for your fur family. He made sure my senior dog got her meds and sent pictures every day. Thanks, Guillermo! We will be back!”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“Anna was so good to our 2 fur babies. She sent photos of them playing and kept me informed of how they were doing. Our Nova made a friend with one of her dogs too. Would recommend her to others and would love to be able to take a babies back to her.”
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

“Leonardo did amazing with Lola! He was so attentive and provided us with pictures and videos of Lola throughout her stay with him. We highly recommend him, and we are looking forward to booking with him again.”
“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”
“Here’s a cleaner, grammatically improved version while keeping your tone: Jennifer was excellent at taking care of my dog. I was in town to attend a concert, and at the last minute she was able to take care of my dog for the night. She responded quickly and provided constant updates. It definitely gave me peace of mind that my dog was in good hands!”
“Loui’s stays with Natalie have been the best he has experienced in El Paso so far. She was attentive to his needs and made sure he had time to spend outside, even during the hot weather. Throughout the day, she kept us updated by sending videos and pictures, so we always knew how he was doing. It is evident that Natalie genuinely cares about Loui’s safety and well-being. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are in El Paso.”
