About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!

“We love Lam! From the moment we met her, we felt at ease & we could tell our pup felt it too! Definitely recommend - great care & a wonderful person!”

“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“Gabriel was quick to respond, flexible, and took amazing care of my two dogs who have very different energy levels. He was communicative while I was gone, and even stayed the night with them. You can tell he really loves animals and takes great care of them!”

“Brigit stayed with my cat, Minnie Muusah, for one night this week and everything seemed to go very well. Minnie is not exactly a social cat. She was traumatized as a kitten and although she has bonded with me, she is not too keen on having anyone else pet her. Brigit was not put off by this and was flexible when I had to make a small change to my travel plans. I'll invite her back the next time I need to leave town. I recommend Brigit for other pet-sitting positions.”

“Thank you so much! Hossanna cared for our dog and cat while we were away for a week. We were so happy to receive photos and they were so well-cared-for!”

“Skyler did an amazing job with cooper and sally. She sent pictures to let us know everyone was doing ok, we definitely will be calling on Skyler again”

“Gavin watched our dogs at our home for a weekend away and we are so grateful! He sent lots of pics of the pups and left our house just as he found it, probably better actually! Would totally recommend Gavin to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“Vincent did a wonderful job. My dogs are happy and relaxed. The house and yard are clean. He was in touch with me daily, I appreciated the pictures.”

Kate N.

“Aarti was an excellent dogsitter. She’s very calm and patient which was amazing for our two anxious pups. She gave regular updates so we were confident our girls were safe and cared for while we were away. Would highly recommend and look forward to her taking care of our pups again!”

Vasu S.

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7 years. I love house sitting and spending time cuddling with pups or playing outside with them. I have experience giving elder dogs medications or following detailed care instructions. I have a full-time job and work in the office Monday through Thursday. Otherwise, I’m available to be with your pup at home taking care of them. I’m familiar with crate training, as I crate my own dogs when I’m gone. I’m always happy to a walk through of how to lock things up and set up things to keep your fur babies safe. For walking, I’ve used harnesses and gentle leads.

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

“Greg was patient with both me and the boisterous beasts. He looked after the gardens, the dogs, the pond, the fish, and our sensibilities. If you have a complicated situation like ours Greg is a super good fit. Highly recommend him.”

“Tatiana was an amazing sitter for my three pups! She was super easy to communicate with and was able to come meet me and the dogs and check out our home. She appreciated the house and dog notes I left and followed them perfectly! My dogs quickly fell in love with her and miss her already! I’m so happy we found her.”

“The best cat sitter. Sent me so many pics of them and kept their litter box clean and made sure they were always happy. Would definitely have house sit my pets again he genuinely cares about how they are.”
