Doggy Day Care Augustine

About: I boarded and walked dogs in Los Angeles for three years, so I'm comfortable with most breeds and temperaments. My secret weapon? Bone broth ice cubes—they're a constant hit! My sister-in-law is a professional dog trainer, and I've learned a ton from her. I'm happy to reinforce your pup's existing training so routines stay consistent. Plus, with two high-energy, playful dogs of my own, your pup will have built-in best friends and a fenced yard to zoom around in all day. As long as your pup is dog friendly this will be a paradise. Ready to book a meet-and-greet? Send me a message—I'd love to meet your pup and show you the yard! 🐾 I work from home, so I'm around all day for potty breaks, belly rubs, and playtime. Breakfast is served around 9 AM, dinner at 5 PM—routine keeps pups happy! Depending on the weather, we'll either hit the trails for a morning hike or skip straight to zoomies in our fenced yard. Afternoon? More yard time, tug-of-war, or just napping at my feet while I work. Evenings are for winding down with cuddles. Safety is my top priority. Our yard is completely fenced six foot high with no gaps. The dogs will stay outside unless it’s cold or rainy. Inside, I keep a clean (tho covered in fur), dog-friendly space with water always available and hazardous items well out of reach. There are two cats inside so I do need to know if your dog is or isn’t cat friendly. I know dog body language from my years of boarding, so I can spot stress or overstimulation before it becomes an issue. If any pup needs a break, I have quiet spaces set up for alone time. I also require updated vaccines and am comfortable giving oral medications if needed. With two friendly resident dogs, I carefully manage introductions and group play to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

“Shene is just amazing. She had the perfect paradise for your fur baby! She is caring and understanding. Would definitely come back, cause dog already loves her!”

“FANTASTIC!!! If you're looking for a professional, friendly, educated alpha, you need to book through Esperita! She is very quick and responsive to messages. She picks my pup up for me, and sends me a picture msg of my dog, letting me know they made it to her place! She also sends updates with pictures! (LOVE IT!!!) I could tell my hyper GSD had a blast at her place because she's always so tired afterwards! Thanks again Rita for being sooo awesome and caring <3”

About: I am retired and a animal lover with experience caring for puppies, seniors, rescues, and giant breeds. Reliable, patient care in a safe, pet-friendly environment. I am currently retired from government work and a non profit career. I retired very young and I am very active, loving nature and walking. I have two very large dog runs with dog houses in each. My pets are both indoors at night and in their dog run daily.

“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”

About: Me and my husband got our rescue dog in 2021. We were able to make him adapt our lifestyle and trust us and helped him with anxiety issues from separations and some random environmental triggers. Our dog is sweet and gentle, we were able to train him for 10+ tricks and be gentle to small and or young creatures. I also volunteer at Animal humane NM to help dogs getting comfortable with human interactions and building confidence I work hybrid so not every week days are wfh at the moment. We walk our dog twice a day and we have a big dog park and field that might fit for different dog needs. We have a back yard so dogs can play there as well Our house is on a quiet street with back yard fenced. Super nice area with big dog park and fields. I LOVE ALL DOGS, and all of them will get more than enough attention from me

“Cindy was great with my 2 year old baby. I sent Sandia for my 12 hour shifts and Cindy was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I got lots of picture updates. Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”

“Spencer was incredible with Trident and me as well! I was so anxious to leave her for the first time and she came home happy and tired! I am so grateful to have found Spencer and Trident will be happy to spend a day there again I have no doubt!”

About: I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and individualized care throughout the day. As a longtime dog owner, I know every pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make sure they feel safe and at home. I have a large, secure yard with plenty of room for supervised play, exploring, or simply finding a sunny spot to relax. I’m also happy to provide walks, playtime, socialization, basic training reinforcement, and light grooming based on your dog’s needs and routine. I’m active by nature, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for dogs who prefer a quieter pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard adventures, couch time, or a combination of all three, I’ll tailor their stay around what makes them happiest. I work remotely, so when I’m not traveling for work, I’m home and available throughout the day to provide consistent, personalized care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and one-on-one attention. I’m very active and happy to keep up with dogs who enjoy walks and play, but I’m equally content spending time with pups who prefer a slower pace, backyard lounging, or snuggles on the couch. I can easily adapt my routine to match your dog’s normal schedule so their time away from home feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have a secure yard with a separate fenced dog run, giving pups a safe space for outdoor time, play, and fresh air. Inside, my home is relaxed and pet-friendly and dogs are welcome on the couch and furniture and are treated like part of the household. I also have two small rescue dogs of my own. I understand that not every dog wants or needs to socialize, so I can keep pets comfortably separated when needed or allow supervised introductions and playtime for dogs who enjoy making new friends. I’m happy to provide a comfortable crate or create a separate, personalized space based on your dog’s routine and preferences. I always recommend bringing a favorite bed, blanket, or other familiar item from home to help your pup settle in and feel secure while you’re away. My goal is to follow your dog’s normal routines as closely as possible and provide an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Very communicative, and friendly and did awesome with all my dogs needs. Will definitely be returning as needed.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 15 years old. Most of them I have either met online or the neighborhood. I have worked with any age from 0-12 and can make your baby feel at home while their owners are not around. I currently work night shifts 4 days a week so I have tons of time to feed, walk, or bathe you’re loved ones. Whenever I am not at home I do have my boyfriend at home holding down the fort so your baby will never be alone. You can trust me with feeding, walking, bathing and/or giving them their medicines. I will show them just as much love as I show my own furries and if they are at my home, my babies will make them feel welcome.

“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”

About: Caring for animals has always been something that brings me so much joy. I’ve had the honor of caring for all kinds of pets, including cats and dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. From playful pups full of energy to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love, I truly enjoy getting to know each pet for who they are. To me, pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. ❤️ I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I want every pet I watch to feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their individual needs, and give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is not only to take care of your pet, but to make sure they have a happy, comfortable experience while they’re with me. I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want someone to give mine. 🐾💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my family is my biggest priority, but I also wanted to find a way to continue contributing while doing something that genuinely brings me joy. Pet care has been the perfect fit for my life because it allows me to be present for my family while also opening my home and heart to caring for other people’s beloved pets. For me, Rover isn’t just a way to earn extra income—it’s a way to contribute, connect with animals, and do something I genuinely love while being there for my family. 🐾❤️ Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. When pets stay in my home, they become part of our family while they’re here. I have two friendly dogs and two friendly cats who are comfortable around other pets. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and handled safely with leashes. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.

About: Hello! My name is Caroline! I grew up with lots of pets including dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, and a duck. In my pet-sitting experience, I've cared for dogs, cats, snakes, frogs, chameleons, donkeys, horses, the list goes on. I've also always helped care for pets of my roommates and coworkers with every day tasks and when they go out of town. I love them as if they were my own and feel the same for any pet I have the pleasure of spending time with! I also have a ton of professional experience pet sitting and dog walking! I live right by Arroyo Del Oso Park in NE Abq and have plenty of space inside and out for your pet to feel perfectly comfortable. I also allow pets on the furniture, so they will be extra cozy :) I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Feel free to reach out directly with any special requests or inquiries! -Caroline I am in between jobs at the moment so I have pretty open availability throughout the week! I'm also single and have no children, so you won't ever have to worry about any emergencies coming up last minute. I have a fenced in patio/outdoor space and also have beds and couches and all kinds of comfy blankets and pillows for your pet to feel extra cozy and safe :) I also live right across the street from a very large park, perfect for dogs.

About: From birth I have been surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, chickens, goats, and many creatures in between. My dad trained dogs and horses (no such thing as cat training…. If you know, you know) and taught me all he knows. I have fostered and trained puppies and currently have 2 cats of my own who are great with dogs. I am a travel nurse and don’t think the long shifts would be fair to have a dog of my own, otherwise I would! I had to remove all of my bengal’s teeth after an emergency and had to fight a newly adopted bengal to give him his antibiotics and pain meds in forms of pills and drops. I have lived through many animals’s passing from old age so am well versed in senior cares as well. Through my career and life experiences no emergency is too big for me. Your pets activity level will become mine- young or old hearted I am here to hang! I got cats so I could go away for weekends and still hire folks on Rover to come give them love on trips they can’t come cause I feel too bad otherwise. Pets are our babies and alike to humans all have their own personalities. I am super excited to get to know yours and thank you for trusting me with your family members :) I work 12 hour night shifts from 7pm-7am 3 days a week, but my partner works from home so there is always someone to give them love. Off days are spent in the mountains on trails or relaxing around the house. I have a large backyard and 2 cats who are missing a dog to play with or rooms they can safely relax in if your furry friend is not other-pet friendly. I come home to go on a walk and wake up in time to drink some coffee and enjoy some hours before work. I have a high fenced yard. I like to keep the routine the same as their normal, so will rely on your directions on when to feed, exercise, and wind down if there are any specifics. Multiple walks a day during the cooler hours is my favorite way to exercise, and if your pup is social enjoy a good social outing to the local dog park. I like to fish up in the mountains so picnics and splashes in some mountain water is always a dog approved activity in my experience
