About: Avid animal and Jesus lover! I have been around animals all my life! I grew up with multiple cats and dogs, and I currently have 3 cats that are my pride and joy! Within the past 3 years, I have also started horseback riding and volunteering at local animal shelters. I love taking care and spending time with animals, and I would love to watch your pets! I have frequently watched animals for friends and family members in the past, and I'm always excited to make new fur friends! I work a typical 8-5, Monday-Friday job. Other than work, I am usually at home spending time with my animals. I would be able to watch and board your animals anytime during the weekends, and after 5 PM on weekdays I am available! I have a fenced backyard with 3 friendly cats that would keep your fur baby company! I also have plenty of room to separate my pets from yours if need be. I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take your pet for walks and spend plenty of time outside!

About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.

About: As an animal lover, I have grown up with and taken care of cats and dogs all my life. Even horses. I have experience working at a doggy daycare. I have experience with dog to dog aggression issues and fights. I know how to feed, groom, and clean up after all sizes and breeds. Most importantly I love, hug and kiss on every dog and cat I meet. I'm currently available all days of the week and any time. Overnight stays, drop ins, walks and holidays. My schedule is very open and flexible. The most important thing is to be vigilant and aware. If something is not right with your pet you investigate. If you're walking your dog around other dogs be very cautious. Keep the house clean as so they don't get into anything and anything harmful out of their reach.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for the past three years, including overnight stays and daily check-ins. I’ve cared for a variety of pets such as cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs! I’ve also trained multiple dogs of my own and attended formal training classes, so I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and special needs. I’m patient, attentive, and love building trust with every pet I care for. Hi! I’m a student-athlete at the University of New Mexico. I play hockey, I’m a runner, and I’m a lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’m reliable, active, and always happy to help keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly lab to keep your dog company. Wherever your pet is, I will make absolutely sure that they are comfortable and are getting the love and other things they need.
