Pet Sitting Avalon

“Jennifer was great with my very anxious dog. He’s very scared of everything and she just sat with him and pet him and did her best to make him feel comfortable. I would definitely use Jennifer again.”

“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

About: I have had dogs of my whole life! I first started caring for others dogs around age 10, I helped an elderly friendly walk and care for her dog. In more recent years I have dog/house sat for numerous people. Dogs ranging from puppy to senior dogs. I do work a full time job Monday- Friday. Depending on location of the sit I can stop by during the day to let your pet out. I get off of work at 4:30 and can spend the evening with you pet. I follow all care instructions specific to your pet. I will also utilize the outdoor space provided and surrounding to ensure your pet is getting their need exercise.

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 full time at a veterinary clinic. My work days are Thursday-Sunday 8:30am-5:30pm, and half days on Mondays. I can always check on pets during lunch breaks, and I am available for overnights. I will always work with your pets needs, whether that is a walking schedule, medications, or other routines that are essential for their well being.

“My dogs seem to love Lillie! She is great at keeping us up to date during the visits and follows instructions well! I love how she remembers to keep important information, such as vet records and emergency contacts, updated! It makes us feel much safer knowing our babies are in good hands! Thank you, Lillie!”

“As always, Joel did an awesome job taking care of our cat, Nala, while we were away recently on am extended vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy kitty, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were away, knowing that she was in good hands!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving attention to their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I’ve worked at PetSmart and Ulta. I currently run a pet sitting and dog walking business called The Pet Nannies, where we also administer medications and offer overnight care when needed. I’ve completed animal behavior trainings through One Albuquerque’s volunteer program, including safe chemical handling, cat and dog behavior, and fraidy cat training. I’m dependable, compassionate, and prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety. I’m in the process of leaving my full-time job so I can focus on school, I'm studying wildlife conservation, and support myself by doing something I love: taking care of animals! I’ve got plenty of flexibility during the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, boarding, or house sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m excited to make it my main focus while I work toward my degree. I have a quiet, smoke-free home with two friendly cats and no kids or dogs—perfect for pets who prefer a calmer space. I also have a fenced-in backyard where your pup can play fetch, sunbathe, or just relax on the patio furniture while getting some love. I'm active and happy to take your dog (or adventurous cat!) on walks or runs. Whether in your home or mine, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

“Vanessa visited with my girls while I was away, and took the best care of them. They were instantly comfortable with her and Vanessa took care in giving them the attention and play time they need before their dinner, keeping them happy during a lonely time :) thank you Vanessa!”

“Erin was so communicative, and clearly so full of love for critters! I would absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for confidence in knowing your furry loved ones will be cared for like they are her own.”

Alexis S.

“Tracy is the best and both my dogs love when she comes around! She is attentive and is great about communicating what is going on! We love her!”

“Hands down the best cat sitter and nicest person I've met! Celeste was wonderful and so compassionate with my cat Teresa. They spent lots of time together and I appreciated the updates and photos. Excellent communication and details. Thank you so much!! Will definitely be booking again for my next trip out of town! ❤️🐈🎄”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. To ensure the safety of both pets and myself, I require a meet and greet before accepting new clients and may decline bookings if I don’t feel I’m the right fit for a pet’s specific behavioral needs.

About: I grew up in a house full of animals. As long as I can remember, my family has lived with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, lizards, frogs, snails, salamanders and all manner of wild backyard critters as well to attend. I was raised to respect these animals as well as attend to their needs. I believe love and respect go hand-in-hand, and I love creatures of all shapes and sizes! Since I was old enough to babysit, I was also pet-sitting! I believe that animals are not only our friends and our kindred spirits, but also our duty to care for well. I spent time working as a pet nutritional expert at a store in Austin, TX, and that experience only increased my passion for animals and their well-being. I love to travel, and know that it makes all the difference to leave someone you trust with your critters. My headline includes my vision statement; I endeavor to become a friend to your pet, and while you're away, provide my full presence, my dedicated care, and my joy at being with them. I'm a graduate student at UNM, so my class schedule is mostly afternoons right now. My cat's a rather needy fellow, so he's happiest when I'm home. I make sure to make time to spend with him on weekends, mornings, and evenings, and spend time making up for missed cuddles then. I keep his areas very clean, he drinks only from a fountain, and I keep him to a strict feeding schedule (much to his chagrin and occasional break-in attempts of the food container). My frogs, Gus and Markl, need live food once a week and clean water every day, and I maintain a heat lamp schedule for them as well, as well as regular maintenance to their bioactive terrarium. When my parents are out of town, I take care of our two dogs, Lilo and Clara, and nine chickens. The dogs need to be walked, the chickens need to be fed and their eggbox cleaned, and there's lots to do to make sure everyone is comfortable. Lilo's pretty anxious, and Clara's getting up in years, so I make time in my work schedule to return home midday to check on them if I'm out and about. Depending on your pet's needs, I'm flexible in terms of schedule. :) It's important to me that you are confident in your pets' safety and comfort. I will not take dogs outside without a leash, unless they are in a fenced-in yard, and I don't let cats outside unleashed on principle as I believe this makes them a danger to themselves, other cats, and smaller animals. You can expect photos from me of your pets if you'd like them, and if they let me I'll happily clean out eye-boogers, snuggle with them, and ensure that they have love and companionship during the stressful time you're away.

About: I’ve had been taking care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I’ve have multiple dogs at once (4: pitbull, Labrador, 2 Schnauzers) I’ve also been taking care of cats for more than 10 years. I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to care of your pets! I am currently seeking a part time Job so I can still do this job I have a fenced in yard, along with a dog and cat who are friendly with other dogs and cats! I however will not be providing boarding at my house

“Jessica was a great cat sitter! All instructions were followed and she was great at communicating. Skittles seemed very happy upon my return! I would book with her again.”

“Jesus has watched my fur babies twice now, and I know my babies are always safe with him! He’s very communicative and kind. Will absolutely ask for his help again when we travel!”

“Ashley was amazing! This was my first time “hiring” a pet sitter and not using a friend or family member so it was a little stressful thinking about leaving my babies with someone I didn’t know. My mind was at ease after the first day. One of my cats is very shy and skiddish and I expected her to hide under the bed during Ashley’s visits the entire time. Ashley was able to coax her out on the 2nd visit and pet her and play. After that she would come out on her own and greet Ashley when she came in! It was amazing. She sent pictures and reports after each visit letting me know everybody was eating and using the bathroom and playing. When we got home from our trip, the cats acted as if we had just gone out for dinner and back. They had been taken such good care of while we were gone that they weren’t all over us, starved for affection or acting like we’d abandoned them. I will absolutely call Ashley again to take care of our babies!! Thank you!”

About: Mostly I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, including seniors, pups and kittens. I am sensitive to and will want to get them care if an emergency arises. I love to love them all. Presently I am flexible to meet pet parent needs. I do need 1 day notice for planning 🙂 and ensuring I am prepared for your pets. Presently I am able to provides services at your home only ( except for very young puppies and kittens who can stay with me if needed) -in your home I’m most familiar with cats and dogs. I am glad to keep your pets environment fresh during visits including waste clean up, hair brush or deshedding with your tools, refresh food, water bowls as needed. I will have non-toxic cleaners for hard surfaces if needed.

“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
