About: Hello, my name is Leevi. Since I was young, I have always been the one taking care of the family pets. I love all animals, and taking care of them. I have leashed and behaviorally trained multiple dogs for friends and family, as well as served as the designated animal watcher for both cats and dogs for friends and family. I have also raised multiple jumping spiders and lizards. I care about the needs of all animals; seeing them happy makes me happy. I work full-time from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Despite my evening work schedule, I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy staying productive throughout the day. As soon as I wake up, I am usually on the move, whether I am exercising, running errands, handling personal responsibilities, or spending time outdoors. I value making the most of my mornings and early afternoons before beginning my shift. I will care for your fur baby with the same patience, attention, and affection I have always given my own pets—as a valued member of the family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I have hands-on experience training and caring for several of my family’s dogs. My experience includes leash training, reinforcing positive behaviors, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular walks and playtime. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and adapting to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and daily routine. I am also attentive to the ways dogs communicate their needs. Whether a dog is feeling stressed, hungry, excited, tired, overheated, or simply in need of reassurance, I recognize the importance of observing their body language and behavior closely. I prioritize safe walks, hydration, a calm environment, and plenty of positive interaction to ensure each dog receives the care and attention they deserve.

“Have had such a wonderful experience with Lucy. She was willing to do a meet ahead of time. She won over my very reluctant dog, and he has such a good time and come back happy. Lucy was very timely and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.”

“We had a great experience with Marcus! Misty absolutely loved him from the start. He was very attentive and provided detailed information after the walk. His genuine affection for dogs really shines through. Highly recommend him—Misty can't wait for her next adventure!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats since I was 8. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and entertain their pets. I currently work full time but am available 24/7 on the weekends. During the week, I can walk/feed/play morning and evening around my work schedule. I understand all pets are different and that their needs vary. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs that your pet may have.

About: I have trained and raised family dogs growing up. My family loves doberman's so I have a lot of experience with bigger dogs as well as medium more energetic dogs like German shorthaired pointers. I have experience taking care of family friends dogs as well from dogs of any size or breed. I'm currently attending school at UNM on MWF. I am available for early morning and night drop-ins Sunday-Monday as well as afternoon visits on Mondays and Fridays. My dog is high energy. I play with her favorite toys when I get home and take her on daily walks around the neighborhood. My dog loves pats and I give her lots of attention.

“Hector has been a fantastic dog walker for Dolly. She adores him and looks forward to their walks. Hector is consistently prompt and flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate even on busy days. Highly recommend his services! He is reliable, caring, and a great fit for Dolly!”

About: Hello everyone!! I am an honorably discharged Army Veteran (served 11 years), as well as a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I was raised surrounded by animals and being responsible for their wellbeing, so I understand, and I am aware of what it takes to care for animals. I know how to give oral medications/insulin/injections. I do pet sitting for fun; however, I have been considering doing it full time. I enjoy meeting all animals and maintaining a client base. I have one kitty cat that is about 14 years old, she is a rescue. Unfortunately, my dog Zeus (the golden retriever on my profile) passed away 4 months ago. I will care for your animals and treat them as I treat my own, with love and compassion. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I would be happy to answer any questions. I am currently switching over to doing this full time, so your pets will have my full attention (along with my pets of course lol). I’ll care for your dogs and cats as I care for my own. With love, compassion, and lots of pets (even lots of pets for cats if they let me).

“Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.”

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.

“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”

“Luke has been fantastic with Bailey! He keeps me up to date on what's going on and has been flexible with my work schedule. Bailey is always excited to see him and sets a great pace on their walk to burn some of her energy off.”

About: Hi there! :) My name is Melissa, a true animal lover. I can't wait to meet your fur baby/babies! I have raised many many dogs and cats. I grew up with a dad that loved animals, so I was around every kind of animal you can think of. I truly love all animals and enjoy taking care of them very much. Thank you for taking your time to get to know me. I know looking on here for a sitter for the first time can be scary. Trusting your loved one with a stranger can be difficult. I want to put your mind at ease and let you know if you choose for me to watch them, they will be well taken care of, played with and shown extra love. I will send you tons of pictures and keep you updated as much as you'd like me to. I have some reviews for you to check out along with some pictures of some happy fur babies I've watched. I do have 2 dogs in my home but Sandi stays upstairs in my mom's room at all times. Worm also stays upstairs with Sandi when I have someone over. So if you decide to have your fur baby here, I will have them stay upstairs. I will always have all my time and attention to your loved one. When they are here they can expect a fun, safe, and good time! :) Please if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer you. :) Use code MELISM43190 to get $20.00 off your first booking with me on Rover: https://www.rover.com/sit/melism43190 I can fit you in on my schedule. I'm very flexible. Please just ask, I promise to do my best in making you a priority. I'm sure your dog will love it here. I have a fenced in yard that they can enjoy. I don't let them stay outside long though because of the weather. I always look out for their safety. They are welcome to snuggle up on the couch inside where it's nice and fresh or nice and warm depending on the weather. :) I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby/furbabies :)

“My dog and I both love Christie!”

About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 20 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.

About: Hello, my name is Lina. Growing up I always had animals in the house. I never knew a home without them. I enjoy any type of dog, or cat and love bonding with them. I have experience in child care as well, which can/and is very helpful with animals. I am very patient with animals, and have even helped friends train their dogs that are hyper-active and are now able to be in the house. I have a very open schedule and all the money on Rover I receive is going to go towards going to nursing school. I have a huge interest and passion in the medical field, and want to be able to get my degree and pursue my passions. If you pet is fully of energy or is older and prefers to sleep I can accommodate to both. I enjoy learning about animal psychology, and as silly as it sounds, animals can exhibit traits of anxiety,depression, and ocd. With this knowledge that I’ve learned in school and my own time, I know how to better accommodate any pet.

About: In college I was a house and pet sitter. I have had pets since I was in elementary school and am now a senior. I currently have three dogs of my own. I’m emotionally intelligent and good to work with. I work a half day as an Occupational Therapist educator in Wednesdays and as an OT practitioner on Fridays. I would be available in the afternoons on these days. I will not take care of pets in my home but am happy to come to yours to care for, walk, pet and feed your fur babies.
