“Our dog was very depressed when he got home from staying at Megan’s house! Her kids loved on him and he had free access to their backyard. I got multiple pictures of him at the end of day. We are very satisfied and happy with Megan’s care. Highly recommend her”
“Guillermo took such wonderful care of our 7 month old Australian cattle dog,Tahlulah. His home is spacious and beautiful and he has such a kind heart. He was patient and understanding that she was still potty training, and he took care to verify any special instructions for her care. We appreciated the daily updates with photos of her having fun with her new friends. If we ever are in the area, and need a sitter, we will definitely book Guillermo again! 5 stars!”
“Thank you, Sarah, for taking such good care of Tootsie for my aunt! This was Tootsie's very first time away from home and you treated her like her very own, which was very comforting to us. We appreciated the updates and pictures throughout her stay with you and helped soothe our anxiety. To anyone considering Sarah as a dog sitter, I would have no hesitation recommending her to care for your precious pet.”
“Gigi and Dakota had never been without us before. Everywhere we go, they came with us. Unfortunately, this time they could not. We were recommended Rover.com by a friend and we are so glad we listened. They spent three days with Anna and they had a good time. Anna kept us informed by way of pictures and we saw that our little ones were happy. Thank you Anna for being such a great host to our extended family. We will once again ask for your help in the future. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone needing help with their family.”

“I left my 3 labs in boarding with Erika & her family for almost 1 week. I appreciated I could easily send and receive texts to her especially without downloading an app. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and videos on how they were doing. I appreciated Ericka's willingness to have flexibility to accomodate their needs. We really had piece of mind with her and her family giving our fur babies attention, comfort and love!”
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.
“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.”
“Louisa is great as usual! Pax loves her and is always excited when he gets to stay with her for a couple of days. She makes sure to walk him and take him to the dog park and takes pictures of everything.”
“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”

For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”

“Tommie was great! She was very easy to arrange a meeting time with. I was very happy with her because she actually spent the time with my cats instead of just scooping the litter and leaving. She played with them, put on the kitty TV for them, and sent me loads of pictures. She put me at ease when I was away from my babies for several days.”
“Janet was amazing. She did twice-daily drop-in visits and made sure my cat got her medication and supplements at the right times. More than that, though, she was great with with my cat, figured out her habits, and accommodated her whims. I was gone for ten days, and they developed their own routine. Janet sent lots of photos, so I knew my cat was doing well. I highly recommend her and will have her look after Tacy again in the future.”
“Savanna is a rock star ! She came through last minute and I am so grateful ! She also was very patient with Gatsby ans My other fur child Colby ! Thank you so much I will book again and with Savannah!!”

I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time.

My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
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.
About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals, both typical and exotic species of pets. I have AZA training in caring for reptiles and birds, have handled dangerous reptiles and amphibians, and have taken care of my own range of pets over the years. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I substitute teach for a local school district and can adjust my schedule to visit and properly care for your pet in your home. If you give me your instructions in how your pet should be looked after and cared for, I will follow your every instruction. I can even be innovative in terms of providing enrichment or treats to reward your pets for proper behavior. I won’t be able to host your pets in my home, but rest assured that I will be able to take care of your pet in your home and that nothing will be out of place.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. My mom worked in veterinary care as a vet tech while I was growing up, so I learned early on how to properly care for pets and pay attention to their health and behavior. I also fostered animals for many years, which gave me experience working with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. Some needed extra patience while adjusting to new environments, so I’m very attentive to body language and comfort levels. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets. My oldest cat is currently 15, and my oldest dog lived to be 17, so I understand the patience and gentle care older pets may need. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, from playful puppies to calm senior dogs. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions so pets stay happy and stress-free. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. During drop-in visits, I focus on making pets feel comfortable in their own home and keeping their routine consistent. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, medications if needed, and playtime or potty breaks. I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure to keep pets safe. I also keep the home clean and respect the owner’s space. After each visit, I send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Megan and her adorable children took excellent care of Iggy! He came back happy and pleasantly tired. She is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Makes me feel very happy to know he is in such a caring place.”

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.

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.

“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.”
About: I’ve had numerous experiences with all kinds of animals. I’m a Retired RN and can give injections/meds to your sick/senior babies. I have lots of time to spend taking care of your babies. I retired this year and that allows me to be available 24/7. Also weekends and holidays are not a problem. Medical Care not an issue. I am available to stay overnight in your home if needed. I currently have 2 cats both Seniors and 2 dogs. I spoil them rotten as they should be.
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.
“This was my first time ever utilizing the app. I was so nervous and worried. She ensured me all would be fine. Sophia sent pictures along the way. She did amazing. She will definitely be my Mercedes favorite person in no time. 🩷”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a pet. Animals have been a constant part of my life, and I have committed myself to taking care of them and I truly enjoy it . Growing up surrounded by pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and inspired me to gain as much hands-on experience as possible in animal care. I have volunteered with several animal organizations, including APA (Action Program for Animals), where I primarily provided dog socialization and took dogs on walks. Through this experience, I became comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and gained valuable experience working with larger breeds as well as reactive dogs, allowing me to provide patient, safe, and compassionate care tailored to each pet's individual needs. I have also volunteered with CCCS (Cruces Cool Cats), where I assisted with basic sanctuary sanitation by cleaning and maintaining the facility to ensure a healthy and comfortable environment for the cats. In addition, I helped with TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) transportation and cat socialization, giving me experience working with cats of many different personalities. I also volunteer with ASCMV, where I completed a required dog handling mini course that taught proper handling techniques, canine body language, and safe interactions with dogs of different temperaments. This training has given me the confidence and knowledge to work with pets that are shy, nervous, reactive, or high-energy while always prioritizing their safety and comfort. Outside of volunteering, I own an Australian Cattle Dog mix, so I understand firsthand the dedication, patience, and exercise that high-energy breeds require. I am also an avid runner, which makes me well-prepared to provide energetic dogs with the physical activity and enrichment they need through long walks, runs, or active play sessions. Whether your pet enjoys an adventurous outing or prefers a calm, leisurely walk, I am happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. I understand that pets are more than just animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you trust me with your pet, I will care for them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I am currently enrolled at DACC as a freshman, majoring in Associate of Science with plans to transfer to New Mexico State University's Animal Science program. My long-term goal is to attend veterinary school and become a veterinarian. Every opportunity to care for pets allows me to continue learning, growing, and gaining valuable hands-on experience, and I look forward to providing the highest quality care for your furry family members I’m currently a student and but I’m available after 12pm as well as full time on on Sundays and Saturdays. Weekday availability may vary, but I’m happy to coordinate schedules and work something out when possible! I can’t wait to meet your pets ! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well looked after. I also send photo updates so owners can feel they’re confident their pets are in good hands !
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care. I work Monday through Wednesday. I can also work Friday and Saturday if needed, and prefer to have Sundays off to maintain a balanced schedule. Currently living in a townhouse with a small fenced yard. Living with three dogs, we have 2 crates we use when all occupants are out of the house.
About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals, both typical and exotic species of pets. I have AZA training in caring for reptiles and birds, have handled dangerous reptiles and amphibians, and have taken care of my own range of pets over the years. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I substitute teach for a local school district and can adjust my schedule to visit and properly care for your pet in your home. If you give me your instructions in how your pet should be looked after and cared for, I will follow your every instruction. I can even be innovative in terms of providing enrichment or treats to reward your pets for proper behavior. I won’t be able to host your pets in my home, but rest assured that I will be able to take care of your pet in your home and that nothing will be out of place.

“Our dog was very depressed when he got home from staying at Megan’s house! Her kids loved on him and he had free access to their backyard. I got multiple pictures of him at the end of day. We are very satisfied and happy with Megan’s care. Highly recommend her”
“Guillermo took such wonderful care of our 7 month old Australian cattle dog,Tahlulah. His home is spacious and beautiful and he has such a kind heart. He was patient and understanding that she was still potty training, and he took care to verify any special instructions for her care. We appreciated the daily updates with photos of her having fun with her new friends. If we ever are in the area, and need a sitter, we will definitely book Guillermo again! 5 stars!”
“Gigi and Dakota had never been without us before. Everywhere we go, they came with us. Unfortunately, this time they could not. We were recommended Rover.com by a friend and we are so glad we listened. They spent three days with Anna and they had a good time. Anna kept us informed by way of pictures and we saw that our little ones were happy. Thank you Anna for being such a great host to our extended family. We will once again ask for your help in the future. I would highly recommend Anna to anyone needing help with their family.”
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
“I left my 3 labs in boarding with Erika & her family for almost 1 week. I appreciated I could easily send and receive texts to her especially without downloading an app. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and videos on how they were doing. I appreciated Ericka's willingness to have flexibility to accomodate their needs. We really had piece of mind with her and her family giving our fur babies attention, comfort and love!”
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.
“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.”
“Louisa is great as usual! Pax loves her and is always excited when he gets to stay with her for a couple of days. She makes sure to walk him and take him to the dog park and takes pictures of everything.”
“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”
About: Dogs are my best friends. Rover is a blessing in the fact I can do what I love and love to do and that is care and talk to dogs. My home and time are available 24 hours a day. For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”

About: I do really well with pets, If ever I'm at a gathering and there's pets around, I'm usually with them instead of talking to humans. i am very extremely available basically everyday of the week. Heck, you can call me in the middle of the night when you're hungover at a friend's house and I'll watch your pet pets need love like everything does. I am very calm with animals. I tend to get close to them with a soft voice, never rough house or pet wildly to bother them. They respond very well to a calm demeanor
