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 !

I currently have 2 cats both Seniors and 2 dogs. I spoil them rotten as they should be.
“Allison has been my dog walker for over two months, and I couldn't be happier! She comes three days a week, and my dog absolutely loves her. He gets so excited when he sees her and will actually wait by the front door when he knows she is coming. It’s clear that he has formed a special bond with her, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is also incredibly dependable and caring. She has been wonderful about giving him his medication when needed and always treats him with patience and kindness. I truly appreciate knowing that he is not only getting his walks but also getting lots of love and attention while I’m gone. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring to take care of their pets. I am so lucky to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“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. 🩷”

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
