Doggy Day Care in Alcalde

“Dawn was so amazing with our dog Miles. He was new to doggy day care and she helped both of us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She was careful, considerate, and kind and we can’t wait to work with her again.”

About: I provide attentive, loving care and treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and very observant, which helps me quickly pick up on each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and crate training, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, slower walks, medications, or special diets. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent schedules, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of attention. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I’m flexible with walks, medications, and special care needs. My routine is calm and structured, making it especially ideal for puppies who need consistency and for senior dogs who benefit from a relaxed, attentive environment. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a calm, safe environment, regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow any training rules, dietary needs, and medication schedules closely. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving affection and companionship. I also make sure the home is respected—bringing in mail, cleaning up after pets, and keeping everything tidy. I always provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was 12. Ive helped friends potty train and crate train puppies. I cared for my senior dog for many years before he passed in 2024. Ive fostered animals through animal shelters as well as helped rehome friends and family pets when needed. Ive taken care of friends pets as well as family. If you have any further questions please dont hesitate to ask! (: I am a stay at home mom. We wake up early and I usually stay up late tidying and taking care of our other pets. We only leave for short periods during the day. Your pet and my children will not be left alone at anytime. I have a large fenced back yard. I also have a friendly medium sized dog named Halo who would love to keep your companion company. I can crate over night or during breaks as long as you bring an appropriate sized kennel for them. I may have one on hand if it is a weekly appointment.

About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.

“Sue was the PERFECT sitter for our pup. She’s sweet, kind, and professional. She’s easy to communicate with and took time for my dog to become comfortable. My dog seemed to love her time there, especially playing with the other sweet dog. We’re so thankful we found Sue to care for our dog.”

“I am visiting Santa Fe from out of town, and Stephanie took care of my high-energy Labrador for the day. My dog came back to me clean and tired, and Stephanie sent me photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely take Margot to her again!”

“Sitter flexible and caring.”

Catherine D.

“We are only in Santa Fe for the weekend and Katie was willing to work with us with little notice. She clearly has a great deal of experience, was great at communicating, and our pup felt comfortable with her and her husband right away. Katie sent photos and gave us updates on how things were going throughout the day. Would happily wort with Katie again.”

About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well

“Patris was wonderful with my standard poodle, Argent. Argent loved playing with Patris’ dog Ryka Kai. And then Patris took them for a walk and playtime with some other great dogs -all of which Patris captured on videos which she sent me. Argent left his play day happy! I will definitely have Argent stay with Patris again.”

“She was great! Had puzzles for the dog and took her for a lovely walk. I'd definitely have her watch our dog again!”

About: I grew up overseas in a family that seemed to always have at least four dogs at home. My first dog (that truly felt like my own) was Lapsi, a beautiful crossbreed, that followed us home one day and never left. She went on to live with us for 16 years, giving birth to several generations of pups that we took care of and distributed across the Valley into caring family homes. In The States my first dog was not actually mine, but my freshman roommate's chestnut lab that he brought from home and that we both took care of - and now, full circle, my current roommates have 3 dogs! I think that qualifies me as a dog person, even if only by association. Throughout it all, I have learned to love our furry friends in all their variety: to receive love from them, to take care of them, watch over them, and even occasionally take urgent action to protect their well being. Pets have been a big part of my life and I'd love to share this enthusiasm with you. In the end it's a relationship that requires a little bit of nurturing and a whole lot of love. Cheers thanks for considering me! I'm currently in between work so I have ample time to afford your animal. In the heat, I find it's best to walk out side of peak hours - but depending on the naimal I am willing to forage in the midday heat. I have a compound with an animal gate that can provide security for most sizes of animals. It's important that all animals have spaces that are appropriate for them and if not that they can access a space that's suits them on a daily basis.
