“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”
“Jessica was great, she contacted me about needs and expectations before scouts walk and stopped by for a meet and greet! She really cared for scout on her check in and even made sure she had plenty of water before she left! Will definitely be using Jessica again.”
About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.
“My dog is often skittish with new people and doesn't let them touch him right away. That usually takes a while. He felt comfortable with Benjamin and let him pet him right away! Benjamin has a lot of experience with different dogs and it shows with his care and patience. I highly recommend!”
“My dog is becoming less and less reactive and a better walker the more time she spends with Robert and Holly. After each walk I get tips on how to reinforce what she's been taught. I'm amazed at how much progress she has made in such a short time.”
“Eden is exceptionally reliable, communicative, and kind towards our boys!!! There has been a noticeable difference in our pup’s demeanor (he’s happier, more playful) but also in the way he handles on leash! I couldn’t be happier with Eden and I hope to be able to be her client for a very long time!”
“Patricia is great and so kind!! We had a crisis over a missing dog leash and she was so flexible and relaxed and made do with what she had. We will be booking with her again!!”
“Tabatha really saved us during a week where our schedules kept changing. She was extremely flexible with the timing, and always responded right away to any communications. Of course she also took great care to learn about my dog’s needs and how to best walk him. My dog immediately loved her and had the best time playing in the dog park. I would definitely recommend Tabatha!”
About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.
About: Living with all types of animals since I was born! One dog, two cats and two lizards in home! Three years in professional pet care, exotic care included! Aspiring vet! I currently work part time with flexible hours. Looking for a reason to switch to pet care full time! I’d love to take care of your animal and hour of the week! I like to spend time with animals in my care. Try to let me know your animal’s favorite activities! If you’re looking for a pet to be cared for in my home, I have a female husky, and two female cats, all spayed. If you have a cat or dog that doesn’t get along with the other half. We keep the cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. No need for interaction if your pet doesn’t prefer it!
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified
“Hossanna is an incredible dog walker! She's reliable, loves what she does, and always gives thoughtful notes and pictures during her drop ins. I would absolutely recommend booking Hossanna for all your dog care needs.”
About: I have had pets all my life and looked after friend's and family's pets in the U.S. and Mexico. I love getting to know their habits and quirks and being their buddy, while they're people were away. I am a remote graphic designer and do landscaping. My schedule is very flexible and enjoy taking dogs for walks and sitting/playing with cats. I use Rover when I travel and know what it's like to be away from your pets. I love spending time with pets, giving them the extra care when their people are away. I think giving people the freedom to travel and work, and still take great care of their pets is very important.
About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors pets multiple times a year, and they’ve recommended me to other people in need of someone to watch their babies. Pet care fits into my life daily as I have 2 cats myself. I’m used to doing everything a pet needs, and I am extremely flexible about schedules. I watch my cats to make sure everything is good and healthy every day. I try to spend at least 20-30 minutes just spending time with them, and showing I’m there for them. I do this with clients pets as well.
About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs. I've fostered several pups—one of whom I adopted—and truly understand canine behavior, needs, and comfort. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family in a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work a part-time remote internship with a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I’m available when needed and always prioritize their well-being and comfort. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I keep pets supervised, ensure they have plenty of enrichment, and create cozy spaces for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and routines, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. In both cases, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience and attentiveness.
About: I have had cats most of my life, about 20 years, and I know that they are the bosses. They may have a reputation for being loners but most of the time they like attention, just on their own terms. I come up with clever games to get their wiggles out and treat each cat the way they like to be treated. They may seem like loners but playing is very important. Each cat has a different personality and that is very important to understand. I also take great photos and will gladly take some super cute portraits of your furry baby so you see that they are doing well while you are away. Your cats will be well fed, with clean litter boxes and lots of purrs when you get home.
About: Dogs have always been in my life. Since I was a kid, I would pet sit my neighbors’ dogs when they went out of town. When I grew-up and had roommates, I would joyfully watch their pups when ever they needed. I’m a mom to two very friendly coonhounds (7 and 5 yrs old) who love other dogs and kids. I enjoy taking them for long walks, to the dog park (which is a 30 second saunter down the street from my house), and hiking in the mountains. I raised both my girls from puppies and recently nursed my oldest dog through cancer treatments. I am happy to take care of dogs young and old, small and large, healthy and sick. I am diligent, caring, and responsible. I look forward to meeting your best friend! I am at home during the week, so I can watch your pup at my house and take them for walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park. I have a fenced in backyard. Your dog would have to get along with mine for a house visit, but both my dogs are passive, love dogs of all ages (including puppies!) and sizes (my boyfriend has a Chihuahua), are well socialized (they have tons of dog friends, go to the dog park and been to doggie daycare). I am also available evenings and weekends to walk your dog in your neighborhood and to watch dogs boarded overnight at your house or mine. Before booking a house stay, we can do a meet-up to make sure our pups get along! The dog park is down the street, so it’s easy neutral ground before a house tour.

Marilee W.
“We were in Europe for 5 weeks when we received notice our booked sitter needed to leave town. Fortunately, Marilee could fill in! When we had a wedding out of state a month after our return, Marilee was our first call. Our furry toddler Yoda clearly took to Marilee's care and attention during our first sit experience. It is unnerving to lose a caretaker, but Marilee filled the gap so well that when Marilee visited our home for an official orientation, Yoda was happy to see her and receive her attention. Returning from the long weekend, now our second opportunity to use Marilee, Yoda was not traumatized by us leaving. And we suspect, if Marilee visited in the near future, Yoda would again be glad to see her. It is hard to leave a pet, but Marilee sent unexpected photos and reports of Yoda's activities and overall status which also meant a lot.”
Katie & Pisces K.
“Katiek has watched my newfiepoo when I have had to go out of town. Katiek's pets are well socialized and good playmates. Katiek is attentive and loves my dog like her own. The yard is fenced, includes a doggie pool, is kept clean of poo. There is access to food and water. The dogs get plenty of exercise running around the yard and have access to toys and the air conditioning when inside. I recommend Katiek for the owners of well behaved Doodles.”

“Nico takes car of my 7 year old border collie mix and does an excellent job. He follows my instructions with medications and food. He is a very responsible dog walker and I feel my dog is very safe when with Nico. I highly recommend Nico for any animal owner.”
adielenah p.
“I have known Lenah for just about 6 years now and she has always been someone people trust. She is fun, loves playing with our cats, even waking up in the middle of the night when they ask to be pet. She understands that animals have needs and desires — for exercise, play, comfort, interaction — and she feels a responsibility to meet them. She is very considerate, even watering our friends plants or cleaning up when stopping by to visit their feline friends. She goes the extra mile to make sure our cats have everything they need, from scratchers, to toys, treats, and extra play time. I can't imagine someone better suited to care for animals than her.”
Corinne D.
“Corinne is really great with our dogs and you can tell she is really compassionate when it comes to caring for them. She is responsible and competent and we feel safe and comfortable in her watching our dogs. Our pups have become fast friends with hers, they get along really great and she gives them time to go play outside together, which the pups always enjoy. She has a big heart and is patient with them, which is helpful as they can sometimes be stubborn.”
