Personalized care for your dog or cat - Valencia
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Valencia
“My two pups, Emmy and Cooper, just finished their first stay with Karen, and we will definitely use Karen to care for them again in the future! Karen sent photo updates multiple times a day, and the dogs were having a blast in every one of them! Karen truly cares about the happiness and well-being of the dogs, and I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with her for several days at a time.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Maellen, she is my go-to when I need to board my dog. My dog is a very shy dog but has really come to trust Maellen and her husband. She loves their yard and all the walks! I look forward to booking Maellen in the future! She is amazing!”
“Melissa and Carlos were great with our two pups. Riley and Ralphs love their home and large yard. This is our third time having her sit for us. She is attentive and communicated well sending photos of our boys thru the day. We will def be back again ?”
“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.”
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.
“Thomas & Matthew were nothing short of amazing!! Daily communication with photos plus private areas in the house + outside just for our pup. We had some unforeseen circumstances and emergencies occur at the end of our trip and Thomas & Matthew helped to ensure Oliver was taken care of, we were SO thankful for their flexibility and willingness to help. It was apparent with every photo that Oliver was having a BLAST with them and fitting right in. We will definitely be looking to Thomas and Matthew for future bookings!”
“Joshua has a great way about him and the big yard/environment felt right for my pup. When I was away Joshua’s photos gave me relief that my dog was having a great time. Will definitely go back!”
“Mark was great again!!! He took great care of our Blue. He gave us frequent updates and sent us a lot of pictures and videos! Blue is a nervous dog so we really appreciated Mark taking such good care of him and staying close to him all the time. We could tell Blue was very happy with Mark and we couldn't be happier!!!!”
“They have become my new dog sitter. They are very flexible, responsive, and accommodating to my schedule. They also send photo updates of Hammer with his new friends!”
“You will be able to tell right away that Debbie loves dogs. She took good care of my dog. He came back tired and happy. She checked in with me to let me know that everything was going well.”
“My two dogs had a great time with Shell. They loved playing with the other dogs and having freedom to go in and out as they pleased. Shell was a great communicator and sent me pictures and updates. We’ll go back in the future!”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
“Onrae did such an amazing dog watching my dog while I was gone for two weeks. The ask was rather sudden and he made me feel at ease. My dog recently had surgery and he took great of him. He constantly sent photos and updates. I feel really great knowing that I (and my dog :)) can trust his services. Could not recommend enough. Thank you!!”
“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!”
“Akira had a great time with Doug! It was very comforting knowing we didn’t need to worry about her while we were away. He was very flexible with our schedule and sent us a picture every day.”
About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me so much joy. I’ve had the honor of caring for all kinds of pets, including cats and dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful pups full of energy to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet for who they are. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. ❤️ I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I want every pet I watch to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their individual needs, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is not only to take care of your pet, but to make sure they have a happy, comfortable experience while they’re with me. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want someone to give mine. 🐾💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my family is my biggest priority, but I also wanted to find a way to continue contributing while doing something that genuinely brings me joy. Pet care has been the perfect fit for my life because it allows me to be present for my family while also opening my home and heart to caring for other people’s beloved pets. For me, Rover isn’t just a way to earn extra income—it’s a way to contribute, connect with animals, and do something I genuinely love while being there for my family. 🐾❤️ Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our family while they’re here. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats who are comfortable around other pets. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and handled safely with leashes. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.
“Great communication with text and pictures daily she took extra special care of our pup! She made him feel loved! Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”
“Sophie is so nice, gentle, accommodating, & a wonderful pup care-giver. Plus she sent an update and cute photos every day. We couldn't ask for anything more & will definitely use her again if she is available.”

“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!!”
“I hired Melissa recently and was very happy with her work. She sent me tons of pictures of my kitties while I was away and even my shy kitty warmed up to her quickly. It was very nice knowing my cats were in such good hands while I was away. 10/10 would hire again.”
“Mariah was great! She took excellent care of Skittles and I could tell she really cares for animals. Everything was in place and I had a happy cat when I returned home. I would use Mariah again.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Valencia
“Lauren was great. She greeted us on arrival and introduced her dog to ours. She kept us updated during the day by sending us photos of how our pup was doing. We would definitely use Lauren again when visiting Albuquerque.”
“Ernest had an absolutely wonderful stay with Pat. He came back home exhausted but clearly happy and energized. Pat is amazing with dogs and genuinely loves them, I feel 100% confident leaving my dog with Pat in the future. :)”
“This was my first opportunity to use Rover and I had a great experience and so did my Luna. I could really tell Bonni loved pets and took great care to ensure my Luna had a great experience. Thank you so much!”

“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”
“Spencer was incredible with Trident and me as well! I was so anxious to leave her for the first time and she came home happy and tired! I am so grateful to have found Spencer and Trident will be happy to spend a day there again I have no doubt!”
“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”
“Esperita was great with our puppy Chloe. It was our first time leaving Chloe with someone but I felt good leaving her in good care. Esperita provided updates and pictures throughout the day which helped keep my worries at bay. Chloe had a great time and fun with her fur friends. Would absolutely use Esperita again!”
“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!!!!”
“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”
“Onrae agreed to watch my dogs on short notice. He was extremely flexible and good at communicating throughout their stay with him. They were both happy to see him again the next time they went!”
“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”
“Julia is a sweetheart! She took us in last minute and was super flexible with our drop off. She made sure to send me updates and pictures through the day. I highly recommend booking with her!!”

“Once again Celio did a great job watching one of my dogs. I just adopted Paco, who had surgery and I needed help with him after surgery due to work demands. Celio took such good care of him - gave him his meds, made sure his stitches looked ok, and really just treated him like his own dog AND sent me many pictures. Celio is awesome!”

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.

About: I pet sat dogs when I was younger and cats for years. I have more time now that my kiddo is an adult and would love to give your babies a lot of attention. 🐶 😺 Please note that my rates are for stays under 2 weeks and include 1 walk per day for dogs. I am happy to lower rates for longer stays (over 2 weeks), and happy to add additional walks for an additional fee. Thanks for considering me! 🐕 I currently work from home Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with a LOT of flexibility. I am available overnight 7 days per week with little notice and can adapt to your pets needs and routines. 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! ❤️
“He was great with my fur baby. He kept me updated throughout his time at my house and out on the walks. He even made sure there was fresh water in his bowl before he left. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: Since a kid I've been surrounded by dogs. I was taught young how to care for and interact with them. Since then I've always had pets and made sure they lived the best lives they possibly could. While I don't have any sort of specialized skills when it comes to pet care I do have plenty of experience. The majority of my adult life has been spent in the military and security industry. Giving me the required skills to provide a safe and secure environment for your fur child. I am currently working part time with a very open schedule. I'm free most days except from the times of 5pm to 8pm usually. Leaving me plenty of time to check on your pets. I have an enclosed yard with two dogs at home. One small and one big. Both very friendly and would love a trip with your pup to the nearby park.
About: I have grown up with a house full of animals since I was born until now. By the time I was five, I had 10 puppies to look after and care for while having two cats and lastly, five horses. I have always maintained the skill of taking care of animals and loving other pets as if they are my own. Animals are just as sensitive, pure and unique as us humans that deserve just the same love. I work full time while being in graduate school part time. I am happy to make accommodations for any services that people may need! Thank you! Since I am in college, I currently have no space for my own pets but with my own pets, I watch them closely and make sure they are safe in an enclosed space. I make sure they always have food, water, toys and anything else they may need at hand and keep a leash nearby incase of emergencies.
“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.”

“My two pups, Emmy and Cooper, just finished their first stay with Karen, and we will definitely use Karen to care for them again in the future! Karen sent photo updates multiple times a day, and the dogs were having a blast in every one of them! Karen truly cares about the happiness and well-being of the dogs, and I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs with her for several days at a time.”
“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!”
“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”
“I am so lucky to find Jenny to take care of my baby. Jenny loves dogs and I felt comfortable and ease leaving Wolfie with her. will book again and so happy I found someone whom I trust take care of my fur baby. She sent photos of Wolfie which was so comforting when I was away. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”
“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.”
“Apollo can be a handful with his anxiety and reactivity, and Bri handled it beautifully. They had a rocky first night, because he kept barking at every small noise. After several hours of this, he had her a bit worried about whether or not she could get him to settle down and sleep. But she stuck with it and got him to calm down and pass out. From there the visit went great. She followed our feeding and medication instructions exactly, worked on some training with him during his stay, and did a nice job with redirecting his attention when he got reactive on walks. Communication was excellent throughout. I received regular photos and updates, and she flagged any concerns as they came up rather than letting them sit. The best sign of how the weekend went: at pickup, Apollo planted himself on and between her feet multiple times while we were talking about how the weekend went. He clearly trusts and adores her, which can be difficult given his anxiety. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“My two dogs had a great time with Shell. They loved playing with the other dogs and having freedom to go in and out as they pleased. Shell was a great communicator and sent me pictures and updates. We’ll go back in the future!”
“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!”
“Leslie & James takes great care of my standard poodle Zulu when I travel with updates of photos and videos. They are very friendly, courteous and accommodating if I have to change my pick ups if I’m delayed at the airport, etc.”
“Very friendly and great communicator. I loved the photos he sent! My anxious pup warmed up to him immediately and had a comfortable time. Definitely would recommend!”
“Rita is awesome! She was able to quickly pick up our dogs while we were traveling and in a pet-sitter debacle. She followed our senior dog's medication regimen, walked the dogs, gave them treats and sent daily updates. Rota is very attentive and responsive to inquiries, which is amazing. Normally I worry about our dogs a bit while we are traveling but I didn't have a care in the world while they were in her care. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again!”
“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I adopted my current dog from the dumb friends league and lover her so much i have a tattoo of her :-) I currently work full-time but available any time after 1:00pm for all dog walking and dog sitting needs. I am open any time Wednesday and Thursday. I care for my dog and others by giving them proper attention and love! I clean up messes right away and make sure they have ample time to do their business during walks.
“I am SO glad to have met Peter & his pups! He took great care of my pups for 2 nites and I was SO pleased how much everyone got along and were so happy spending the time together! I was totally at ease leaving my dogs (which I rarely ever do)! Highly recommend!!!”
“We're so grateful we found Bill, he and his wife are great people and you can tell they really care. Our pup is usually pitiful while we're away but he had a great time boarding with Bill. Highly recommend!”
“Jessa and Kevin took care of Milly for 11 days and I’m pretty sure Milly felt like she was on the vacation of her dreams. I got updates of her and how she’s doing everyday and Milly was well taken care of! Both Jessa and Kevin really treated Milly like she was their own and I was able to be on my trip worry-free. I will be booking with them again!”
