Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Villa De Paza, Albuquerque, NM

“Thank you Brigit-for being such a great pet sitter. Your temperament is excellent I think when pets are stressing about where their pet parent went—-I’m so glad my Cleo came out from under the bed the first day with you and I appreciated the daily snapshot of your visit….was a treat for me to have daily check ins. Hope you can sit with my Cleo again as needed..”

“Lucy is our go-to to ensure our pups are taken care of when we’re away for an extended period. She takes great care of the dogs and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our high maintenance geriatric dogs.”

“Geneva was fantastic with my kitties! She was super responsive and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable leaving my cats to her for the holidays. Even my cat who is skiddish warmed up quickly to her! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an attentive and friendly sitter. Thanks, Geneva!!”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.

“Rachel was amazing, she did everything we asked of her. Our 2 cats are shy but warmed up to her very quickly. She communicated great with us and was very punctual with her visits. She also took the sweetest pictures of our cats for us. Highly recommend her.”

“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

About: Loving pet parent, foster pet mom, and experienced pet sitter. I have run my own drop-in pet care service for pets of film workers for a year and I'm absolutely THRILLED to branch out and offer my services to pets in my immediate area on Rover! Pets of film workers need a little extra TLC because their moms and dads work such long hours (10-14 hours a day on average!), so the majority of my time has been spent honing my enrichment skills! I take great care to provide the best walks, play sessions, cuddles, etc to help dogs and kitties feel fulfilled while mom or dad are at work. Dog or cat, young or old, I would LOVE to welcome your fur babies to my roster and pack our sessions with enrichment! :) As a loving pet mom of 5 including 3 rescue dogs and 2 rescue cats, I specialize in multipet households and know just how important it is to give each pet their own specific attention. No 2 dogs or 2 cats are the same, and I make sure to take time to listen intuitively to each dog and each cat to match my care routine to their needs as well as the needs you, their loving and amazing parents, specifically request for them! Need a rigorous walk for your high energy dog? I've got you! Need a quiet sitter to spend time with your kitty while they eat? I'm on it! No matter what your request - you can rest assured that I will bring endless understanding, love, cuddles, and TLC to the table to make sure your babies feel safe, secure, entertained, and loved in our time together. I will respect every detail and make sure to handle every single pet with care. Special Needs and Senior Experience: My oldest baby is a 17-year-old special needs senior kitty named Catun. She requires daily medicated eye drops, a special diet, and a whole lot of TLC during mealtime due to neurological damage. We've nursed her back to health through some dire times, and despite all odds, she is the happiest, healthiest, and most amazing kitty! I absolutely ADORE caring for her and welcome any of your complex senior or special needs pets as a result. I wouldn't change a single quirk about Catun - she is perfect and taking care of her is the joy of my life. If you have any special needs pets - particularly seniors with special needs, you can trust me with their care and I'm so happy to help! I will listen to them and to you, and love them like my own. Nothing gives me more fulfillment than caring for animals. I can't wait to care for your pets! I'm an entrepreneur and maker- jewelry making and pet care are my full-time job! I am flexible and available outside of the care and needs of my own pack. I often times won't be available for vacation stays due to my husband's film industry schedule, but never hesitate to reach out with last minute needs - if I have capacity, I'm happy to help! I am available for drop-in visits in your home and neighborhood! I offer on-leash walks when it isn't too hot for dog paws and yard plays in your fenced yards or in your home anytime. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home at this time. I can always come to you!

“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”

“Rhiannon was fabulous! Our cat loved her. She sent photos and videos from visits and even brought some emergency litter when our cat's litter ran out. We will absolutely hire Rhiannon in the future!”

“Burger LOVES Tracy! She is so good with him! I can tell this will be the start of a beautiful friendship!”

About: From time to time for the past 3 years I have taken proper care of my family’s pets outside my home but I can confidently say that I’ve been taken care of my own pets for my whole life! There hasn’t been one day that’s gone by where I haven’t taken care of them somehow. I’ve naturally grown the knowledge over the years how to properly care for small and large dogs and of course, cats! Right now I am temporarily working a part-time job, I am usually scheduled early in the mornings or evenings. I have to work around my job schedule which changes every week but I know my work schedule 2 weeks in advance. I have experience with scheduled feedings twice a day for dogs, daily feeding for cats, giving fresh water everyday, switching dogs and letting them outside throughout the entire day. I have experience with kennels for my own dogs sleep in their kennels. I have lots of experience with dogs that have to stay separated from one another due to dog fights, (my pets don’t like each other). I also have experience dog walking, playing and being able to identify changes in their well-being. I perform all these duties everyday with my own dogs and have experience doing so outside of my home. I take care of dogs that aren’t mine like my own according to the customers needs.

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”

“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”

Patti M.

“I was first time user for this type of service and I'm really happy that my cat Lucy was visited by Joel. He was very good in following my instructions I left for him and he was professional. I will definitely us this service again. I just hope I can get Joel again because it would be nice to have a familiar face for Lucy's visits. Thanks Joel!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I’ve worked at PetSmart and Ulta. I currently run a pet sitting and dog walking business called The Pet Nannies, where we also administer medications and offer overnight care when needed. I’ve completed animal behavior trainings through One Albuquerque’s volunteer program, including safe chemical handling, cat and dog behavior, and fraidy cat training. I’m dependable, compassionate, and prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I’m in the process of leaving my full-time job so I can focus on school, I'm studying wildlife conservation, and support myself by doing something I love: taking care of animals! I’ve got plenty of flexibility during the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, or house sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m excited to make it my main focus while I work toward my degree. I have a quiet, smoke-free home with two friendly cats and no kids or dogs—perfect for pets who prefer a calmer space. I also have a fenced-in backyard where your pup can play fetch, sunbathe, or just relax on the patio furniture while getting some love. I'm active and happy to take your dog (or adventurous cat!) on walks or runs. Whether in your home or mine, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I've had dogs in my care since I was a little girl. From the puppy years to when they cross the rainbow bridge. I've had chihuahuas, cocker spaniels and my personal favorite pit bulls. Currently my pitty is named Sandy and we just love her so, especially when she smiles and tap dances! Most dogs that cross my path usually take on to my spirit and know I'm their friend! I'm an animal person through and through, they're such great companions and therapy! I'm currently self employed with a flexible schedule, as I make my own hours. I do have kids that are still in school but can be creative as far as schedules go I have experience with rabbits, hamsters, horses and ferrets. I currently have 2 cats and a dog, who oddly enough, have to separate my cats from time to time as our kitty can be jealous of my senior cat. Where as my pitty could care less than to get involved in their drama.. they all roam free but aren't allowed on furniture. But we give in from time to time Although your way may be different, and that's fine too, I can follow instructions
