My daily routine already includes taking care of my 5 rescue cats, which includes feeding them and cleaning their litter areas. I like to make sure I make the pets feel at ease however I can.

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for some sweet amazing pets over the years. Having 2 dogs myself : a Chihuahua and a husky: I'm able to care for various breeds and sizes. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing companionship to animals in their own homes. I've also had the opportunity to work with different breeds and temperaments, allowing me to adapt my caregiving techniques to each individual pet's needs. I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for my clients' furry friends, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for in their absence. Feeding, walking, and cuddling are all part of my daily routine, and my dogs would probably tell you I’m their personal superhero. I bring that dedication and joy to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When caring for pets in someone else's home, I prioritize their comfort and security. I follow their specific routines, ensuring consistent feeding times, administering medications as prescribed, and providing regular exercise. I treat their home with respect, cleaning up after the pets and maintaining a tidy environment. I also keep a detailed record of their behavior, any special needs, and any incidents that may occur. By providing attentive and responsible care, I aim to alleviate any worries the pet owners may have while they're away.

“Rachel is sweet and so kind to the pets. I felt very comfortable going out of town knowing she would come check in on my cats. Excellent first experience with the app and Rachel’s services.”


About: Hey there! I'm Tara Marksberry, and I absolutely adore animals! With 15 years of experience in pet sitting, veterinary offices, shelters, and boarding facilities, I've had the joy of working closely with furry friends of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I pride myself on being dedicated, punctual, and loving in all aspects of pet care. Your furry companions deserve nothing but the best, and I'm here to ensure they receive just that. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day! I work full time from 8:00am to 5:00pm on the east side of Albuquerque. I am completely comfortable staying in your home and will generally remain there unless I’m running to the store or heading to grab something for dinner. Depending on the proximity of your home to my employer I may be able to conduct afternoon drop in visits. Early morning feeding or medication schedules are no problem! While at your home your pets safety is my first priority. I will never leave your pet unattended in the yard and make a habit of checking gates and fences while we’re outside. I will never open the front door in a manner that could allow a pet to escape and will not invite any unauthorized guests or my personal pets into your home. I like to provide picture updates to you throughout the stay so you can rest easy knowing your pets are happy and healthy. I do prefer to have written care instructions to reference so I make sure I’m taking the best possible care of your pets.

About: I grew up around dogs. In my young adult life I had experience with three large German shepherds ,all whom I cared for as puppies until their end of life. Walking, hiking, bathing, grooming, feeding and friendship with all of them. Since then I have cared for the pets of my friends and family, whether it be an over night stay or an extended stay. they included small and large breeds ( please see my photos)! Every pup is different, how ever kindness and patience is key to a happy pup! I currently work 35 hours and am very flexible if need be. I am available evenings, overnights and weekends. I have no children or current dogs of my own. Your pets would be my main focus. I am available to watch your pet in their own home, to keep them comfortable. I am flexible with crates or sleeping at the foot of the bed, again, to keep your pet comfortable. The more routine we can keep for your pet, the more comfortable they will be.

About: Growing up, I always had a dog or cat in the house, as pets have been an instrumental part of my life. Since I was a teenager, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats while they were away, and would rest easy knowing their furry friends were in good hands. I recently moved in with my girlfriend at White Sands and have a very open schedule. I find that serving as a Rover sitter is a great way to establish relationships with local pet owners in the area, and love every chance I get to spend time with animals. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's needs! I respect my client's needs and desires for how they specifically care for their pet, be it allowing them onto furniture or strictly requiring that they follow specific rules. I'm very flexible when I have pets in my own space, and am more than willing to accomodate for all of my clients!

Adam C.
“Adam has cared about and for animals since a young age. His family brought home a puppy when he was 9 years old and he was given the privilege of naming her. Katie was with his family for 16 years. He played a large role in caring for her, beginning with helping to train her as a young puppy. In addition to helping with Katie on a regular basis, he provided pet sitting services to neighbors on several occasions. During the process of becoming an Eagle Scout, he chose to focus his service project on making dog beds for local shelters. His passion for caring for animals shines through when he interacts with friends' and neighbors pets. He is thoughtful and attentive to their needs. You can count on him to be reliable when caring for all animals and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to look after their pets.”
