“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!!”

“Lauren did an amazing job watching my two kitties, Sushi and Miso! Miso is a bit of a shy guy but I knew she did great when she mentioned he began to warm up to her :) I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a pet sitter, very communicative throughout my trip and very sweet with them both! Thank you again Lauren!”


About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals all throughout college so I have lots of experience! I’m very nurturing and kind and I even have my own kitty that is very friendly. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m work from home most days. I love to go to the gym and go on walks. I am a home body so on the weekends I like to cook and prepare for the week. A typical day with your animal looks like playtime in the morning and a walk in the evening! If it’s a cat I make sure to play throughout the day and especially at night so they and I sleep well! If I am going to your home I will read and relax with them when I’m not playing with them and I will feed based on your schedule for your pet.

About: I’ve been trusted to care for elderly dogs that need medication, to the littles still in potty training. I will follow whatever instructions are left to give the best care. Even if your baby needs their food “cooked” on the stove or need to be tucked in for a story. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and one cat, all who love to play. Ex-teacher on summer break so my schedule is open. I will be starting school in the fall so scheduling will change but I can easily be flexible and respond quickly. I can accommodate crating, open, yards, going for walks, etc. I aim to give your pet consistency so they are safe and comfortable when in my care.
“Greg has done several drop ins including one at the very last minute. He is 100% reliable and I completely trust that he will be here when he says he will be here. The dogs appear comfortable and relaxed around him. Thank you Greg!”


About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, regularly assisting my mom with her own pet sitting jobs since I was about 14 years old and receiving my own clients when I became an adult. I have been employed at a local Animal Shelter since 2024, having gained lots of Fear Free handling and medicating experience with both dogs and cats. I also have 3 cats of my own and my roommate has 3 cats as well, with varying personalities/sensitivities. I have full availability on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, and work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday with a set schedule from 8am-6pm. I do get an hour lunch so I can also make a quick visit during that time. I've learned Fear Free handling methods from my workplace, regularly practicing patience and reading a pet's body language to understand when they start to become uncomfortable. I will adjust to your pet's needs to make this time as comfortable as I can.
“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

“Jessica was a great cat sitter! All instructions were followed and she was great at communicating. Skittles seemed very happy upon my return! I would book with her again.”

“Leah is our go-to sitter!! She is reliable, communicative, and so sweet to our fur family. We appreciate her pictures, videos, and diligent care of our three very charismatic kitties. Thanks Leah!! 😻”

“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She was here when she said she would be. Very prompt which was important due to the fact that our cat Speedy needs his meds at the same time each day. She cleaned up after feedings of wet food and sent pix of our boys, which was really nice to receive. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family. Thank you Amanda! ;o)”

“August was phenomenal, as always! We really appreciated the help making sure our girls were well taken care of while we were out of town this weekend.”

About: I have had dogs that I trained and took care of through the first 18 years of my life before I moved here to attend UNM. I occasionally watch my neighbors dog and helped train him when they were ill-equipped to do so. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday I have class from 10am-10:50am and 4:15pm-5:00pm so I am available between those times or after 5pm. I am available all day Friday after 1pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, I have class from 9:30am-10:45am and 2:00pm-3:15pm so I am available between those times and the rest of the day after 3:15pm. On Monday I have class from 10am-10:50am, 2pm-2:50pm, and 6:20pm-9:30pm so I am available between those times. this will update every semester. I only provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits your dog has. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. That includes regular walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. While staying in your home, I treat it with respect—keeping things clean, bringing in mail/packages, and making sure everything is secure. I’m reliable with timing and always show up when expected. I also send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well and you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
“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!”

“Angela is very responsive to messaging and prompt. She gets along great with all of my dogs and is flexible with her schedule. I will continue to use her for all of my sitter needs.”


About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old and have watched pets for friends and family since I was a teen. Currently have two doggos. One 2 years old and one 9 years old. I have taken care of puppies, having house trained multiple dogs and have cared for senior dogs I work from home with a very flexible schedule on weekdays. So I have plenty of time for walks and playing with the pups. I am available to walk dogs multiple times a day. If your pup is staying with me they will gets walk and be able to go out for many bathroom breaks throughout the day. Since I work from home you dogs will never been left alone at any point. I have a fully fenced yard and two very well behaved dogs that love getting to play with other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed but since I work from home I am always able to keep an eye on them. I can take your dog on multiple walks, play with them in the yard, and make sure they go out for plenty of bathroom trips.
“Hannah went above and beyond taking care of my cat Fidel. She was constantly giving me updates ans she was super responsive when I had questions. I could see that she truly cared about my fur baby. She helped me with my packages and even took the trash out with my ask. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7 years. I love house sitting and spending time cuddling with pups or playing outside with them. I have experience giving elder dogs medications or following detailed care instructions. I have a full-time job and work in the office Monday through Thursday. Otherwise, I’m available to be with your pup at home taking care of them. I’m familiar with crate training, as I crate my own dogs when I’m gone. I’m always happy to a walk through of how to lock things up and set up things to keep your fur babies safe. For walking, I’ve used harnesses and gentle leads.

About: I’ve house sited for friends and neighbors pets. I love all animals since I was little and I know it gets hard when people are busy to care for pets and I would love to help I’m currently working full time but I’m off on weekends and can even fit time to visit after work hours if needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule so anything that works around your schedule as well I will always provide a safe environment for all animals. I will respect their environment and love and play with them. Make sure they feel safe as well
“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.”
West Old Town pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!!

We hired Levi to watch our cats while gone for 3 weeks out of the country. He did multiple daily checks that involved several tasks, including litter management, feeding, playing, and also took care of our plants. He was easy to get ahold of and is great to work with. Will definitely be using him again.

Andrea is the best. She is so caring and took wonderful care of my senior dog Gus. He has special needs and Andrea is very mindful of them. She is very organized and communicative. She provides pictures and updates. If you need a great Housesitter look no further!

Catherine was fantastic. My cat Alien loved the attention and daily brushing. Catherine also changed out litter box and vacuumed when it needed it. She also watered my plants. We were gone for almost 3 weeks and I never felt like I had to worry. She also sent photos and videos regularly which I really appreciated. Catherine was very good. I highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs,
