“My dog has never been happier staying with someone. The entire experience increased her ability to socialize with dogs and people so much so that she's been calmer and more confident after the stay.”
About: I am a dog owner myself and absolutely love my girl Louise and understand how important pets are to their people and vice versa. Dogs and cats have always loved me. My style is to allow them to get comfortable around me before I try to engage with them. Once we are comfortable with each other they will enjoy regular walks outside and indoor games of fetch, hide and seek, and belly rubs! I'm back and forth from Santa Fe to Denver so am available in both areas. I am very responsible with other peoples furry loved ones and always enjoy being around animals. I feel strongly that our pets are family and will see your pets as family too. I am active and love to be outside so you'll be sure that your dog will get plenty of excercise!!
“Debbie is a wonderful dog person! Quick response, flexible, daily updates, daily walks, I was assured that my dog was having a blast while I was away! Additionally, her Labradors are super friendly and awesome playmates with my dog. She treated my dog as family. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend to anyone else.”
“Anne and Buddy are great! Very friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Mocha in their care. I highly recommend them and will definitely be rebooking with them.”
About: I have owned dogs all of my life and understand that they are family members and should be treated as such! I love all dogs from big to small and young to old.

I am currently off for the summer leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. From August to May, I work 2 days a week so I will still have plenty of availability. I have two daughters who live with me part time ages 9 and 7 who love pets as well. I would love to care for your pets as you see fit in your home! Just let me know their daily routine and I can accommodate.

“Lorenzo was great! Kept me constantly updated with my dogs status, and sent pictures. I would 100% recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a great, experienced dog sitter.”
“Another EXCELLENT visit with Julia for our Charlie!! We are are grateful for how easily he has settled in at Julia's due to her great work with him. It is a big treat for him to spend time with her and he knows the way to her place- he gets so excited on our way there. And he loves her dogs, comfortable home, and her beautiful setting. We are impressed by her warm and thoughtful and calm and insightful approach to Charlie (older dog with lots of affection needs). Charlie and Julia have formed a wonderful bond. And her frequent communication gives us many smiles and joy while we are away.”

“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”

“Paul watched my 2 dogs (one 13yr old and one 6mo old) for 5 days. He was communicative and sent pictures throughout the week. My dogs had a good time as he took them for walks, hikes, and to the dog park. He has a nice back yard too which my dogs loved having access to. I plan on using him again for boarding.”
“There are not enough words that can express how wonderful Pam is! My Bruno was so well cared for and loved during his stay with Pam. She sent pictures of Bruno and updates each day. I am so thankful I found her!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Renee—your cat’s new favorite human (even if they pretend not to care). 🐈⬛ I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life—from lap-loving purr machines to fiercely independent under-the-bed dwellers. I admire their perceptiveness, their independence, and their ability to set boundaries without apology. Cats don’t need constant attention, and I respect that. But when they do want affection, I’m all in—whether it’s petting, playtime, or just sitting quietly nearby. I’m completely comfortable with litter box duty, giving medications, and tuning into the subtle cues that tell you when something’s off. I believe cats are family, and I care for them with the same gentleness and respect I’d want for my own. Whether your kitty is social, shy, spicy, or somewhere in between—I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved.
“Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!”
“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!!”
About: I've had cats most of my adult life, most of which were rescues. I've fostered cats in the past and can usually get even the most timid kitties to warm up to me. I'd love to give your fur babies love and pets while you're away.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to have Hannah’s continued presence as our house/cat sitter. She has developed a real connection with our beloved cat which is invaluable when we need to leave for long periods. I have peace when I’m away and know my home and cat are safe and very lovingly care for.”
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
“Jennifer is dependable, reliable, and professional. Felix really likes her and she is good with him and to him. Jennifer left our home neat and cleaned up (cat dishes, litter box etc) and followed all instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer and Felix will see her again, I am am sure! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”
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.
“Savanah did an amazing job with my cat. She made sure Ensley was taken care of and sent lovely pictures that put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure my pet was happy. 5 stars”

“Nancy is always amazing. We have come to depend on her doggy daycare for our sensitive dog. He always enjoys his stay and trusts her so he can rest. For our elderly dog, it’s so much better than trying to take him to a business where the dogs are moving around and barking and anxious. That is too exhausting for our dog. Nancy’s peaceful home is ideal.”

About: I grew up around dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have three dogs and three cats along with plenty of other animals. I've watched pets for friends and family and I've fostered dogs while I found good homes for them. **PLEASE READ COMPLETELY THROUGH** I'm available for part time but will still have plenty of time to watch over pets. I work from 2:00pm-12:30am Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays and can check in any time before 1 on those days. I'm unable to watch any animals at my own home but will go to a client's home to feed, play with, or let out a pet. I can also take pets for walks or to a dog park.
About: With a mother who works as a vet tech and a household full of elderly dogs, I’ve learned to spot subtle changes in behavior, administer medications with care, and handle everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of a blind senior dog. I’ve been pet sitting since high school, caring for cats, dogs, horses, and farm animals—and I treat every animal like the innocent soul they are. As a mom of five, I’m no stranger to messes, and I genuinely don’t mind the less glamorous parts of pet care—poop scooping, litter box cleaning, or giving meds. I believe animals are family, and I show up with patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing spirit every time. Whether your pet is playful, shy, aging, or in need of extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of flexibility in my schedule during the week, so most of the time I can attend to your pet with very short notice and flexible hours. While weekends are typically reserved for family time, I may be able to make exceptions with a little more advanced notice than what I would need on weekdays. I have no barriers to early morning check-ins. I care for pets in their homes, acknowledging that it is their space and not mine and as a homeowner myself, I will treat your property with the upmost respect. I will use any information you share with me about your pet’s likes and dislikes and dos/don’ts in regard to your home space to make sure that your animal is comfortable and given consistency that matches their regular routine.
“Svetlana was punctual and great with our dogs. I loved the updates and photos she sent during their walks. We appreciate having her nearby and potentially available even for last minute care or walks.”
About: Ive taken care of my dog and other clients dogs for the past 2 years and I'd love to provide a good service for people like me that love animals. Pet care is something I take seriously. I love animals and i want to be able to take care of people's pets like I take care of my pet. At my home my boy gets plenty of walks and I'll occasionally cook him a good meal. And I love to provide that same care for other people's pets.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes most of my life with various health issues which I’ve been fortunate to learn from. I’ve been raising a now almost 3 year old Rottie pup (Raja); well-versed in training through positive reinforcement and happy to support any training that you are working on while your fur baby is in my care! I send lots of photo updates (I know how daunting it can be to leave your baby with a stranger), and I am always a call away for peace of mind. Know that your pup will be treated as family and very well loved while they are in my care 😊! This is currently my full time gig while I work on becoming a certified herbalist so my schedule is pretty flexible for playing or walking with your pups! I am available Monday-Friday with some weekends depending on the week. I am currently only taking home visits or walks as I get my outdoor area at home more situated! Safety and trust are very important to me, I will never put your dog or myself in any questionable situations, and will make sure our activities are suited to your comfortability. Water and treats are always on hand (let me know of any allergies they may have).
About: I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, small mammals, exotic and domestic birds, reptiles, and fish. I have experience as both a short and long term pet/house sitter. A large portion of my life has been spent working at pet stores, aquariums, wildlife rehabilitation facilities and with animal trainers so I have good background knowledge surrounding a large variety of animal care. By trade I am a biologist with a focus in the marine sciences. As a full-time field biologist, the field part of my job doesn’t allow me time to have pets of my own. So between field jobs I greatly enjoy the opportunity to pet sit since I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet! I feel that pet sitting is a great way to get some animal time in while also helping out. I am very attentive, caring, trustworthy, and dedicated. Every home has a routine and flow all its own, one of the most important things a sitter can do is maintain that rythem while the pet parent is away, and give lots of extra love too. Thank you for taking the time to review my information, I would be thrilled to speak with you about how we can work together to meet you and your pets needs.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life so I understand the basics of training and taking care of them. I currently have an orange tabby named Prince who gets along super well with other dogs and cats! No worries if your pet doesn’t get along with others though, I can also have other people watch him while yours stays. I can care for pets whenever, I have classes throughout the week but since I stay on campus I’m never more than 5 minutes walking distance away from my dorm. On average I have about 3 hours of classes per week day so I’m home the rest of the time. I will be able to board always and do dog walks any day of the week. I have reliable transportation as well. My dorm is quite large so I have space to take care of pets, as well as toys and food and a litter box for cats if you can’t bring yours. I also live in a very outdoorsy campus so I can take dogs on long nature walks.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for others for over a decade. I'm currently childless and can work from my laptop anywhere on a flexible schedule. I have maximum flexibility to meet needs you may have. Please note: continuous all day care in your home is my default service and my price reflects that. I'm primarily a vacation sitter and book only one client at a time. If you book my nightly rate I guarantee 18 out of the 24 hours in the day will be at your home with your pet(s). If you want to get price down and are in Albuquerque I might suggest booking my drop in services or discussing with me your expectations for hours so we can get to a price that works for us both. I also may lower price charged for each additional pet depending on pet's energy level and needs. For example, if you have a second or third dog that mostly sleep all day can lower the price extra for each extra dog fee. I'm an avid outdoor hiker and walker so even high energy pups are good with me. I also take care of your home and pets as if they were my own. Golden rule. For house sitting, I have 60 mile radius I work in with -includes ABQ and Sante Fe. I'm available to pet sit in your home while working from home day hours starting early morning M-F if your home is conducive for me to do so and generally stay overnight unless you'd like me not to. I need a table wifi, and ac for working. I can do drop in visits if you are ten minute drive from me during M-F as well. On Saturday and Sunday I am fully available for your pets unless I have made plans or am traveling myself. For spending night in your home, I am respectful of your privacy and only go in bedrooms for sleep and can wash the sheets for when you get back. If you don't want me in bedroom and have a comfy couch I am fine with that too. I can care for pets in your home where they are most at ease. I am not able to board at my home because of my HOA :(

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: I've had large dogs since I was born and when I was young I remember going outside and feeding them with my mom and giving them treats. Now I have two small dogs I've had for 10 years that I trained myself, they know pretty much every basic command plus some that are more advanced. I also groom them myself such as brushing and bathing. I love walking my dogs and getting out of the house and getting fresh air, it always tires them out so they can sleep throughout the night. I'm available full time since I left Amazon in Feb. I will be able to give dogs or cats my full attention all day and night. I can take them out for walks or even give them outdoor time in my yard. I'm new to pet sitting in-home but I'm sure I'll learn along the way. I have a fenced yard they can play in and a park is close by to play at. I don't crate my pets but I can crate yours if needed.
About: I pet sat dogs when I was younger and cats for years. I have more time now and would love to give your babies a lot of attention. 🐶 😺 I currently work from home Sunday, Tues and Thursday, with a LOT of flexibility. I am available overnight 7 days per week with little notice and can adapt to your pets needs. I can care for pets in your home and follow your rules and your pets needs as directed. I'm an adult with a grown kiddo who also loves animals and can give extra attention! ❤️
About: Nice to meet you, pet parents! I’m so excited to meet your pets and learn how I can help to give them the best care possible. I have experience caring for my own dog, my boyfriend’s family’s dogs (they have four big dogs!), and cats and dogs at animal shelters. I’m currently available to care for your pets on weekdays after 4pm and weekends anytime! In the future my job will switch to a part-time role, and I will have much more flexibility on weekdays as well. I possess the utmost respect for your pets and your home. My friends and coworkers describe me as kind, clean, and considerate, and I will reflect these qualities in how I treat your space and time.
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
About: I worked at the Albuquerque BioPark zoo for 5 years taking care of many types of animals. My time there has made me passionate about providing the highest quality animal care and enrichment. I make it my goal to give your pets a stay-cation while you vacation or work! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, and also small animals, birds, and barn animals. I am especially good with elder pets and am familiar with their mobility and medication requirements. I currently dog-walk and pet-sit full time so I’ll be able to provide lots of care and attention during the day/evenings. I usually only leave the pets for a few hours at a time and can adjust this to fit your schedule. I usually do not care for pets in my home. I believe that by staying in your home and keeping pets in their usual routines, they thrive the best.

“My dog has never been happier staying with someone. The entire experience increased her ability to socialize with dogs and people so much so that she's been calmer and more confident after the stay.”
About: I am a dog owner myself and absolutely love my girl Louise and understand how important pets are to their people and vice versa. Dogs and cats have always loved me. My style is to allow them to get comfortable around me before I try to engage with them. Once we are comfortable with each other they will enjoy regular walks outside and indoor games of fetch, hide and seek, and belly rubs! I'm back and forth from Santa Fe to Denver so am available in both areas. I am very responsible with other peoples furry loved ones and always enjoy being around animals. I feel strongly that our pets are family and will see your pets as family too. I am active and love to be outside so you'll be sure that your dog will get plenty of excercise!!
“Debbie is a wonderful dog person! Quick response, flexible, daily updates, daily walks, I was assured that my dog was having a blast while I was away! Additionally, her Labradors are super friendly and awesome playmates with my dog. She treated my dog as family. I will definitely be using her again and would highly recommend to anyone else.”
About: I have owned dogs all of my life and understand that they are family members and should be treated as such! I love all dogs from big to small and young to old. While I do not have any pets of my own right now, I would love to help care for yours whether it be feeding, walking, playing, loving on them or more. I am currently off for the summer leaving me plenty of time to care for your pets. From August to May, I work 2 days a week so I will still have plenty of availability. I have two daughters who live with me part time ages 9 and 7 who love pets as well. I would love to care for your pets as you see fit in your home! Just let me know their daily routine and I can accommodate.

“Lorenzo was great! Kept me constantly updated with my dogs status, and sent pictures. I would 100% recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a great, experienced dog sitter.”
“Another EXCELLENT visit with Julia for our Charlie!! We are are grateful for how easily he has settled in at Julia's due to her great work with him. It is a big treat for him to spend time with her and he knows the way to her place- he gets so excited on our way there. And he loves her dogs, comfortable home, and her beautiful setting. We are impressed by her warm and thoughtful and calm and insightful approach to Charlie (older dog with lots of affection needs). Charlie and Julia have formed a wonderful bond. And her frequent communication gives us many smiles and joy while we are away.”
“My dog Lucy had a great stay with Celeste! I came home to a healthy and happy pup. Celeste kept me updated throughout Lucy’s stay and sent photos as well. I will definitely book again! Thank you Celeste for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“We could not be more grateful to have found Marlena for our first River experience! Especially on a last minute notice! Leaving our doggos with someone new is always a bit stressful, but she instantly won them (& us) over & treated our dogs like her own. Throughout the stay (overnight plus additional hours), Marlena was incredibly sincere & honest with us about how our dogs were doing. She provided detailed updates, photos & videos, we so appreciated her open communication. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such a safe, capable, & loving hands. Our dogs just loved her so much. We will absolutely be booking with Marlena again!”
“Arman was great to work with! He is very good at communicating and helped us through our first time using rover. He took good care of our dog and loved being there! He even sent us pictures to show how our dog was doing! Will rebook with Arman again!”
“Paul watched my 2 dogs (one 13yr old and one 6mo old) for 5 days. He was communicative and sent pictures throughout the week. My dogs had a good time as he took them for walks, hikes, and to the dog park. He has a nice back yard too which my dogs loved having access to. I plan on using him again for boarding.”
“There are not enough words that can express how wonderful Pam is! My Bruno was so well cared for and loved during his stay with Pam. She sent pictures of Bruno and updates each day. I am so thankful I found her!!!”
About: Caring for all animals. Fur babies large and small. Young and old alike. Barn animals… horses,mini horses,goats chickens and donkeys. Of course your kitty too. We do reptiles. Finding one’s self with little to do after retirement, caring for animals just fit in so well and what a stress reliever these fur babies are. 😄 I have double fenced in areas, with all sizes of houses. My preference is to care for animals in their own environments. They are Less stressed at home.😉
About: I am a former zookeeper and I have a couple of years experience in veternary care. I’ve had animals of all kinds my entire life. I live with my husband and we both love spending time with animals. I work for the film industry and would love to pet sit your pet while I’m in between jobs. Productions have slowed down a lot over the past few years, so I have time currently. I have a larger fenced in yard that can actually be divided into 2 separate yards. Pets are allowed on our furniture and encouraged to sleep in the bedroom with us at night.
