We especially appreciated her consistency in sending us pictures of our beloved kittens throughout our absence. I would absolutely and enthusiastically opt for her services again.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7 years. I love house sitting and spending time cuddling with pups or playing outside with them. I have experience giving elder dogs medications or following detailed care instructions. I have a full-time job and work in the office Monday through Thursday. Otherwise, I’m available to be with your pup at home taking care of them. I’m familiar with crate training, as I crate my own dogs when I’m gone. I’m always happy to a walk through of how to lock things up and set up things to keep your fur babies safe. For walking, I’ve used harnesses and gentle leads.
“Jen was fantastic for my last minute pop-up trip. Responsive, timely, friendly to my animal, and easy to work with. My pup loved playing with her and took to her naturally. Gladly will be using her again in the future.”


About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old and have watched pets for friends and family since I was a teen. Currently have two doggos. One 2 years old and one 9 years old. I have taken care of puppies, having house trained multiple dogs and have cared for senior dogs I work from home with a very flexible schedule on weekdays. So I have plenty of time for walks and playing with the pups. I am available to walk dogs multiple times a day. If your pup is staying with me they will gets walk and be able to go out for many bathroom breaks throughout the day. Since I work from home you dogs will never been left alone at any point. I have a fully fenced yard and two very well behaved dogs that love getting to play with other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed but since I work from home I am always able to keep an eye on them. I can take your dog on multiple walks, play with them in the yard, and make sure they go out for plenty of bathroom trips.
“Tabatha is the best. She’s a very caring, thoughtful caregiver. Super reliable and responsive with plenty of communication and photos. She even kept an eye on the plants. Will definitely be rebooking in the future if she’s available. Thank you so much Tabatha!”

About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!
About: I have been a cat owner most my life but am a lover of all animals. I've been a dog and cat sitter, house caretaker and dog walker for the past few years off and on. If you want certainty that your pet is safe, loved and entertained while you are away I am sure to make that happen. I work a regular 40 hr work week. I am available for dog walking or cat/dog check ins on week day evenings. I am available for overnight stays on the weekends. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies! I'm available weekends for walking and check ins. I am available evenings and early mornings during the weekdays. I will try to be as flexible as possible for your needs. I will be watchful and caring for your pets, follow instructions well and communicate when questions or issues arise. I will be sure to respect your home and pets.
About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals since I was little whether dogs, cats, or horses. I have trained every dog I've ever had. I am working part-time and i'm a full time student. But my weekends are empty and I need some extra activities to do for mental health and fun. I am back at school but I usually have long break in between classes to go for quick walks or drop ins! I am always playful and gentle with my pets. I enjoy playing fetch and running with my dogs. I enjoy giving them their commands and treats in return. I enjoy being with small dogs or big dogs and know how to play well with both as well as how to walk them.
About: Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve completed multiple courses focused on dog behavior, handling, and training techniques. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including timid cats, high-energy cats, seniors, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! I just moved to Albuquerque from Austin Texas and I am currently looking for jobs right now so I am available anytime for your pets needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone in both your home and with your pets. I care for my own senior cat with patience, consistency, and close attention to comfort and routine, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I always take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and needs. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, medication, feeding schedules, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I treat every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home and animals are being looked after responsibly and compassionately.

About: I’ve house sited for friends and neighbors pets. I love all animals since I was little and I know it gets hard when people are busy to care for pets and I would love to help I’m currently working full time but I’m off on weekends and can even fit time to visit after work hours if needed. I have a pretty flexible schedule so anything that works around your schedule as well I will always provide a safe environment for all animals. I will respect their environment and love and play with them. Make sure they feel safe as well
“My senior rescue dog loved Nicolle! She can be a little shy with new people, but she took to Nicolle right away. She followed all of my instructions and sent me detailed updates. I’ll be booking Nicolle again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had horses, geese, cats, dogs, and chickens. I have a plethora of experience working with animals of all kinds. Bathing, walking, feeding, I have experience in it all. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I'm working part-time right now, and having just graduated college I now have plenty of time and energy for caring for your pet! I am fairly flexible about my time and so I can work with you and whatever schedule you may have! I am currently living in an apartment with two other furry friends, a cat, and a dog! Both are friendly but space is limited. I am not able to care for other pets in the home as space is limited. I am able to take them out for long jaunts in the neighborhood and give plenty of care and attention along the way.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!
About: Hey there! I am looking to make some extra cash to help pay for college expenses while satisfying my need for some animal interaction! I have grown up on a "zoo" for my whole life, and I have had experience caring for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, horses, donkeys, birds, fish, and chickens! I am an animal lover at heart and being forced to leave my own dog at home when I moved away for school only means I am ever the more eager to interact with animals. I can accommodate any furry friend from the energetic puppies to the old timers who just need a friend. And if you have animals other than dogs, I have no problem caring for them! I love all pets!
