Doggy Day Care in Barelas, Albuquerque, NM

“Becka is a rescued dog, so afraid of everybody. Not with Robert and Holly, she was smiling when I picked her up. I am so grateful of how nice they were with her. So, happy yo have them to help me with my beloved dog!”

Marilena G.

“Thank you so much for taking care of the boys while we were in Albuquerque for the day. I wish you were closer so we had a reliable sitter in Denver. The pictures helped us through out the day know that the boys were safe and having fun too! Look us up if you're ever in Colorado. Ve”

“We are delighted with the care Peter provided Oliver. Oliver loved going to doggie daycare at Peter’s, in particular all of the outings he went on. We will definitely call on Peter to watch Oliver in the future. Thank you.”

“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”

Melissa B.

“She was able to help us last minute when we had to go to Albuquerque for a family emergency. It was so nice not to have to leave my furry baby alone in a hotel room and worry all day.”

Ashley S.

“I am so glad that Maggie took care of Sol. My little Sol immediately liked her and walked in like it was her house. Birthday is the cutest friendliest dog ever. And I cannot express how grateful I am for your care with my baby especially during a stressful week.”

Liza A.

“Hazel came home so happy after daycare. She loved Giddy and Jo Jo! She was welcomed as a 12 week old puppy into the pack and had plenty of play and attention from Corinne and her pups. Highly recommend Corinne if you need puppy care in those first few months!”

Kristy W.

“Marcelle was incredibly communicative and accommodating with our schedule. Our pup was immediately comfortable around her and her Great Dane. He was completely tuckered out in the best way possible when we picked him up. 5/5 service.”

Mackenzie W.

“Thomas, Matt, and their friendly dog George made Ruckus’s play day a real pleasure.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).

“Tracy was incredibly kind and caring with our fur baby, she was very responsive and sent lots of pictures during her stay. Also super flexible! Our pup loved Tracy!”

“Rex had a great time with Laura. He came home tired and slept for two days being a large German Shepherd. Laura sent me an email along with a photo of Rex every two days which was also awesome.”

“I highly recommend Melinda. She was very accommodating to care for my dog while we traveled in ABQ. She was very patient with my dog who is extremely shy. She even texted me after an hour to let me know all was well as we do have a separation anxiety issue. Great sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of various types of animals so I know how to make sure everything is comfortable for them and they feel at peace I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to walk, play and care for animals of others. Can’t wait to start! I do not have a fenced yard, I also have a dog and a cat who are both very friendly with other animals to keep our guest company and entertained. I can crate or separate your furry friend from my own if needed.

“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”
