Pet Sitting Barelas

“Lauren was great. Detailed Rovers cards, picked up on short notice, and followed all the cat instructions to a T. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals all throughout college so I have lots of experience! I’m very nurturing and kind and I even have my own kitty that is very friendly. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m work from home most days. I love to go to the gym and go on walks. I am a home body so on the weekends I like to cook and prepare for the week. A typical day with your animal looks like playtime in the morning and a walk in the evening! If it’s a cat I make sure to play throughout the day and especially at night so they and I sleep well! If I am going to your home I will read and relax with them when I’m not playing with them and I will feed based on your schedule for your pet.

“Leah is our go-to sitter!! She is reliable, communicative, and so sweet to our fur family. We appreciate her pictures, videos, and diligent care of our three very charismatic kitties. Thanks Leah!! 😻”

“Fiery is great with my cats. It is hard to find someone who is good with cats. I am so happy I found her. She keeps me informed with every visit so I don’t have to worry about my boys.”

“Greg has done several drop ins including one at the very last minute. He is 100% reliable and I completely trust that he will be here when he says he will be here. The dogs appear comfortable and relaxed around him. Thank you Greg!”

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

“Jamie is extremely prompt & reliable! She’s sweet with my boys. I’ve already rebooked with her, and will continue to request Jamie for future trips :)”

“Alexus was great! Our dogs are a bit skittish and she won them over. She went above and beyond to help de-shed our blue heeler when she was over. Highly recommend and will rebook!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up my family had horses, geese, cats, dogs, and chickens. I have a plethora of experience working with animals of all kinds. Bathing, walking, feeding, I have experience in it all. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I'm working part-time right now, and having just graduated college I now have plenty of time and energy for caring for your pet! I am fairly flexible about my time and so I can work with you and whatever schedule you may have! I am currently living in an apartment with two other furry friends, a cat, and a dog! Both are friendly but space is limited. I am not able to care for other pets in the home as space is limited. I am able to take them out for long jaunts in the neighborhood and give plenty of care and attention along the way.

“Eden was awesome! Got pictures every day of my fur babies. They seemed very happy around her. She took the time to play and walk my dogs. Reported each activity each day. I highly recommend her. We are very happy with her services.”

“Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well taken care of as well as helping my wife with some tech issues! Super communicative and sent pictures, would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again in the future!”

Catharina H.

“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

Kathleen K.

“Marilee takes great care of our cats while we’re away. We booked her twice in one month and look forward to rebooking with her whenever we need a sitter.”

“Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my Sofi! Lots of happy pictures!”

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.

“Laurie was great with our dog. She was very attentive and made sure to keep us informed of everything that was going on during her visit visits. I would definitely use her again. Our dog is very timid and scared and she did everything she could to make sure he was comfortable while we were gone.”

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, regularly assisting my mom with her own pet sitting jobs since I was about 14 years old and receiving my own clients when I became an adult. I have been employed at a local Animal Shelter since 2024, having gained lots of Fear Free handling and medicating experience with both dogs and cats. I also have 3 cats of my own and my roommate has 3 cats as well, with varying personalities/sensitivities. I have full availability on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, and work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday with a set schedule from 8am-6pm. I do get an hour lunch so I can also make a quick visit during that time. I've learned Fear Free handling methods from my workplace, regularly practicing patience and reading a pet's body language to understand when they start to become uncomfortable. I will adjust to your pet's needs to make this time as comfortable as I can.

“My senior rescue dog loved Nicolle! She can be a little shy with new people, but she took to Nicolle right away. She followed all of my instructions and sent me detailed updates. I’ll be booking Nicolle again in the future!”
