House Sitting Avalon

“My husky Koda, who is slow to warm up and suspicious of new people, absolutely loved Lauren! Her gentle demeanor was just what he needed, and I came home to a calm, happy dog.”

“Jamie was amazing! She took great care of our Littles (2 chihuahuas). They were so content! She sent lots of photos every day and texted me often with reports. Highly recommend!”

Shirley S.

“Thanks Tahlese! She was responsible and dependable with great communication and attention to detail. She was also flexible and worked with us when we had a last minute (slight) change of plans. I would recommend Tahlese for your dog and cat care needs!”

About: I have trained and raised family dogs growing up. My family loves doberman's so I have a lot of experience with bigger dogs as well as medium more energetic dogs like German shorthaired pointers. I have experience taking care of family friends dogs as well from dogs of any size or breed. I'm currently attending school at UNM on MWF. I am available for early morning and night drop-ins Sunday-Monday as well as afternoon visits on Mondays and Fridays. My dog is high energy. I play with her favorite toys when I get home and take her on daily walks around the neighborhood. My dog loves pats and I give her lots of attention.

“Erin agreed to watch our dogs last minute which I cannot be more thankful for. She was responsive, communicative, and always asked any questions that she had. I had no worries while we were away knowing that Erin was at the house!”

“Julie took amazing care of Marley and even extended the house sitting when my flights got cancelled. I knew Marley was in good hands and the flexibility was so helpful during such a stressful time.”

Amber E.

“Leah sent us daily updates and we came back to a tidy house and calm and happy kitties. We appreciated that she took care of kitten messes and kept us informed.”

Cathy D.

“Celeste is a true animal whisperer! She was so patient with our crazy husky and now our husky just loves her! We feel so comfortable leaving town knowing Celeste is watching our dog.”

About: Woof! Meow! Hello, my name is Al and I hope to soon meet you and your pet. My background in animal care began in high school when I was a dog sitter for local families during the summer while they were on vacation, and from there my passion grew! I am personable and calm, equipped to support each animal's unique needs, and thorough in my care and attentiveness. I am a proud parent to two cats and a senior rabbit at this time, and until I can bring a dog into the bunch I like to spend my time looking after yours with the same love and dedication. No matter how small or large, shy or outspoken, all pets welcome! This fall, I have very open availability while I acclimate to the surrounding area after a cross country move. I am aspiring to be open for requests in many different neighborhoods and different types of animals to get to better know the landscape. I am a non-smoker. I am respectful of house rules and ways of doing things and will defer to your instruction, while also leaning on my expertise in times where flexibility is needed. Adept to behavioral quirks, I take supporting your training protocols seriously and will always ask at first meetings what your animal is receptive to and how to respond when changes in their routine emerge. Especially experienced with separation anxiety, I am diligent in ensuring as I build trust with you I am also building trust with your pet and communicating with you throughout the sit.

“Martina jumped in literally in the hours before I was leaving as my other sitter cancelled very last minute. Martina was attentive to all the needs of my very elderly cat, gave him his meds, cared for him as if her own. She left my house in really good condition and tidy/clean after an 11-day stay!”

“Tara did an amazing job on our last minute booking!! She managed my dogs extremely well, gave them tons of love and attention, and her psychic powers to anticipate my animals' needs was incredible!! 10/10!!!”

About: I have been a dog owner myself. I had 10 great years with my cattle dog named Magenta. She was an explorer and adventurer by my side. I am a counselor, nature lover, and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. I am also an artist, writer, and traveler. I work from home as a telehealth therapist, which allows me to pet sit part time and enjoy connecting with pets. I grew up in Montana and Wyoming, spent time in Spain, Costa Rica, Colorado, and more. I am grateful to be living close to the mountains. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I work from home as a counselor and spend a lot of time with the pups I love getting out for walks to break up the day, and caring for your pets is top of mind. As each situation varies a bit, the prices may not be exactly accurate when quoted. Please inquire. I am available to pet and house sit in your home. I have 15 years of experience pet and house sitting, and treat your space with the same level of cleanliness, care, and respect as I would my own. I am clean and tidy and will leave your home the way I find it.

“Joel did a stellar job taking care of my enthusiastic wonder dog! Not a single hitch! Upon my arrival, Floki kept running back and forth from me to Joel, clearly a friendly bond was made. I wouldn't hesitate to have him take care of my house and pup again - making arrangements as I type this!”

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.

“We're so glad to have found Melissa. She took great care of our coonhound, Sal, in our home last weekend. She sent pictures every visit, kept us fully in the loop, and left a very happy dog for us to find when we returned. We'll definitely use Melissa again.”

“Second time we have asked Regina to come and watch the doggos for us. Once again she has exceeded expectation. I can't stress enough how well she takes care of the dogs, gives them a ton of attention, and continues to take them through their routines while we are gone. If available, we will always reach out to Regina to watch the pups. Everyone here is a huge fan of her!”

Brandon M.

“I was very pleased with how Hannah took care of my puppy and my home. Puppy kept thriving and she kept up with his daily training. It was a lot to ask for a long period of time.”

Pauline T.

“Misty did a great job with our not-so-easy crew. Our shy dog warmed up to her quickly, and she was able to manage our sometimes belligerent cat without issue. Everything was as expected upon arrival home. We will definitely use her again!”

Jennifer S.

“August did a great job taking care of my dog, Ellie. August was great at keeping me updated and sending me pictures to let me see how well Ellie was doing. I could tell my shy rescue felt safe and comfortable around them. I would happily have August sit for Ellie again, they are awesome.”

About: I’m a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys being active and spending time with pets. Being a four-year basketball and track athlete taught me discipline, communication, and responsibility. I’m comfortable following schedules, going on walks, giving pets attention, and respecting people’s homes while house sitting. I’m a UNM student with classes ending by 3:30 PM at the latest each weekday. I’m available afterward to walk, care for, and spend quality time with your dog/dogs! I also have more flexibility on weekends. I take safety and trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
