Dog Boarding in Albuquerque

My name is Mary and I have worked with all sorts of animals, especially dogs, for 30 years.

We own our home and have a good sized yard for our dogs and guest dogs.

I do work full time as a zookeeper, have odd days off. This allows someone to be home often with our dogs and guests. The whole family helps and we really enjoy spending time with the dogs. I have experience with special diets and medicating, whether orally or injections if necessary. Please contact me with any questions or if you would like to meet us!

I did vet tech work in the US Army, worked with Animal Welfare Depts. in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho. I have also worked at some boarding kennels in CO and NM. Currently I am a Primate Zookeeper.

Why I love dog sitting

I grew up on a farm and have always been around dogs. I also served in the U.S. Army where I took care of the Military Working Dogs. I have also worked at animal shelters and boarding kennels.

About my yard

Our backyard is very dog friendly. Pretty good sized yard, makes a large U shape. The yard is fenced in with block wall. Lowest side is over 5 ft, most of wall is at least 6 ft. Lots of room to run and play!

My experience administering medication

Yes, I have a lot of experience administering medications.

My children and I love pups. I have been on dogvacay which is now Rover for more than 5 years now. I would love to be your pup sitter. I have been around all types of animals my entire life. I am a stay at home mom so pups are rarely left alone in my care. I bring them in and they become apart of my family and are spoiled rotten. Well as much as you do not mind them being spoiled. We do not feed them anything but their own food. I have a doggie door with 24 hour access to inside and out. They can sleep wherever they want. They will get lots of love and attention between me and my kids. They must get along with other dogs and not be able to jump over a 4 1/2 foot fence.

My hours are 7 days a week from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM and at times vary in regards to other commitments.

I’m a warm caring pet lover. I recently lost my 2 senior dogs. I used to feed them homemade organic food and treats. I love to walk outdoors and go to park with your furry babies. I Wouldn't mind bathing pets, I love to have them around. I Also have a pet stroller for senior pets. I Miss having dogs around to play with and keep me company. I am a teacher but stopped working to stay home with my fur babies when they got older. I Stay at home all day. Used to be a stay at home senior doggy mom until they got to old and passed away, one passed away in February and the other in November of 2017, at the age of 16. This is my way to heal to watch your fur babies and give them the love I used to give to my fur babies. I have a big home that is tiled and a big grass yard front and back where pets can play. I also have a kid pool for hot days so they can swim.your dog will be loved and cared for. I love dogs and can't wait to cuddle with your dogs.

My home is waiting for your beloved pets to come and hangout with us! We love to play, cuddle, and give lots of attention to your babies! I love to have them over and will treat them as my own with lots of love and attention!

About this sitter:

I've never had a time in my life where I have lived without dogs! In addition to dogs, we have cats, ferrets, a guinea pig, a horse (stabled elsewhere), and will eventually fulfill our lifelong dream of building a primate sanctuary on our land in northern New Mexico!

Why I love dog sitting

I have loved dogs my entire life - I honestly cannot remember a time in my life, aside from my mandatory freshman year of college in the dorm, where we haven't had dogs.

About my yard

We have a reasonable 'city' yard. We have an area with synthetic turf where the dogs love to romp, and space with mulch for digging, bathroom needs, etc. The entire yard is fenced because both our husky and border collie are 'jumpers'.

My experience administering medication

Yes. One of my dogs needs pain medications three times a day, and I have had, in my life, many dogs, both young and old.

I am a 100% dog person!

I have had 1 or more dogs in my home for over 42 years, typically raising them from youth through their geriatric years.

I am experienced in administering medication and was a member of the Dog Training Club of Dallas County for several years.

I love to cuddle with my furry friends and am able to walk dogs in my care if running around the yard is not enough exercise.

Dogs are family and are treated as such.

I have crates for crate trained guests and multiple doggie beds around the house. I accept non-crate trained dogs, also.

I am flexible and willing to follow guests daily routines as closely as possible.

A meet and greet is required to ensure the safety and compatibility of all furry and human friends.

I have had dogs my whole life small breeds to large breeds . I take care of everybody's best friend as if they are my own pet. I have a blue healer named Jasmine who is very friendly who will keep your pet company all day long. In addition if necessary I can also shampoo and wash your dog I give special attention to senior dogs... You never will have to worry about your pets happiness

As lifelong dog lovers & owners, we love all breeds and sizes and have cared for everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes in our three years on Rover. Your doggies will have everything they need to be comfortable and feel at home while they're with us! We're pretty mellow and our two dogs are too. We live in a 3 bedroom home and have a large fenced yard in the beautiful North Valley with lots of room to run and play. We also live close to dog parks.

When your dogs are with us they will have access to inside and outside and a comfy place to take a nap, whether that's in their own crate or bed or on one of ours. Ultimately, we want to make sure your dogs feel safe and have fun!

We foster for both the City and Animal Humane - including special needs dogs. The neighbors know us as the dog family. Cindy served on Animal Humane's board and continues to be involved with special projects. Randy is retired and a stay at home dog dad. He makes homemade dog treats. Our house is set up for dogs - blankets and extra crates in all the rooms. They will have as much fun with us as you will have on your vacation.

Having grown up on a ranch with all kinds of animals such as birds (including many kinds of parrots, chickens and lovebirds), horses, guinea pigs, mice, rats, snakes, fish, rabbits, cows, cats and, of course, dogs, taking care of The Dog Pack is a way of life! I am an animal lover and have taken care of many different types of dogs for people when they have been away from home. I have a lot of experience in working with dogs. Your dogs will be well taken care of and will have fun when they stay with us in our home in the mountains or when I visit and take them on walks. I can also administer medicines and attend to their individual needs with two large living areas (one for our cats if necessary) and 2 bedrooms available in case someone needs their own room to be comfortable or doesn't get along with someone else or is just needs a time-out.

I am a stay at home mom who would love to take care of your babies. My family and I, we are all-around animal lovers and advocates for natural and simple living. We have a chemical-free home and lifestyle. Lots of energy, affection, kindness, attentiveness and love are what we can offer. My kids also love dogs and are quite gentle with small and larger breeds alike. Experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to late teens. Able to provide a healthy balance between the outdoors, play, and rest. Individual walks (as needed) as well as group walks are a daily routine. Socializing with other pups in a safe and easy going environment is key to my particular style. We do our very best to accommodate special needs and requests, just let us know!
