Rachel was great with our pups when we needed them walked and fed for the day. She was very responsive, great at communicating and I had no worries that the pups were being cared for as we expected. We had a “meet and greet” before that day and her love of dogs was evident. Our anxious one warmed up to her quickly and I knew she’d be a great fit. Don’t hesitate to hire Rachel to care for your pets!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.

About: I have been taking care of animal since I was little and currently have two kittens of my own! I have been pet sitting/ dog walking on an off since high school and am used to taking care of all ages, breeds, and type of animal! I work part time and go to school full time during the academic year but my schedule tends to be pretty flexible with hybrid classes so i can always work around whatever fits your needs! I am used to dealing with high energy dogs, as well as big dogs. I am able to go on long walks or even take the dog to the park! I also am able to stay and play with your dog/cat at the house for however long you need!

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, ranging from chihuahuas to mastiffs, so I have a bunch of experience with caring for them. I’ve taken care of special needs dogs and seniors dogs; so I have experience giving medicine, helping them go to the bathroom when needed, adhering to strict food and medical routines, using medicated shampoos for baths, and making sure they get the exercise they need. I’m currently taking a break from a structured career, so I’m available as needed. I’m typically available 7 days of the week any time after noon, but am willing to take care of your pals any time that your schedule needs. I understand that your home is your’s and your pet’s safe space, so you can rest assured that it will be treated with the utmost care and respect as will your best friend. I make sure they get all the hugs, cuddles, and kisses while you’re away. Some pets need extra care when their owners have to leave and I’m always willing to do whatever it takes to help out and make sure your pet feels cared for. I’m currently a student at Santa Fe College and have a flexible schedule. I currently take afternoon classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-5:30, but I am free otherwise. Don’t be afraid to reach out even it’s out of my availability, I’m not on campus every day and would love to help out when I can! I know that your home is not only your safe space, but your pet’s as well. You can trust that it will be treated with the utmost care and cleanliness while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I have had pets my whole life and have been pet sitting/walking for almost 9 years now. I’ve cared all sorts of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, horses, and other farm animals. I have basic veterinary knowledge so if your furry friend needs any medications, I would be happy to help with that. Pet training has been something that I’ve always had interest in as well so if you have any specific training you have been doing with your pet, I’d be happy to follow along with that. I’ve cared for many older dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens as well. My current dog is very energetic so I do have experience handling more energetic dogs. I would love to help you out with your furry friend when I can! Please let me know if you have any questions. I am a part time student right now so I’m not available Monday mornings but other than that I am usually available to take care of your pets! If you’re ever unsure if I’m available, feel free to send me a message! I am very big on communication so if I have any important questions that will help me care for your pet, I will make sure to ask. I will send updates as requested and if anything does happen, I will reach out immediately. I will make sure to follow instructions to make sure your pet is as comfortable in their routine as possible.

Noah has taken excellent care of our pets over the years. When he was only six, we adopted a dog and cat, and despite his young age, he was always responsible and helpful. Pets have been in his life ever since, and I am confident he can provide that same care to your pets that he showed to our own!

My dogs favorite person in the world besides me is Finn. I’m pretty sure Mali would chose him over me if she had a choice! Finn sees her about once a month and she freaks out every time, she doesn’t stop smiling and wagging her tail for hours while he’s around! I don’t know what it is about him but she loves him to death!! I’m not being dramatic at all my 100 lb mastiff mix is a lap dog and Finn LOVES it he could pet her for hours! 10000% would recommend!

I have known Laura for many years, especially in the capacity of pet care. She stayed at our house with our cats and dog while we were away on vacation. She loves our pets as if they were her own. Our dog, Rosie, has an exceptionally tight bond with her as she went out of the way to take her on car trips and worked on dog walking commands. Laura has unlimited experience with pets and animals of all kinds from her own dogs and cats, to farm animals such as horses, pigs, donkeys and goats. You can't find a better pet/house sitter out there!!
