About: I'll take your dog out for some fun and enriching exercise while peacefully training them to calmly follow along at your side with no pulling, whining, or reacting! I am a dog trainer, field biologist, and academic coach driven to lead people towards a mutually fulfilling life with their dogs, and to share my knowledge and wonder of nature to promote stewardship and love for all sentient beings. I have cared for family pets (cats, dogs, fish, rodents, rabbits, etc) throughout my life, and I have performed extensive animal husbandry during my PhD in Animal Behavior and Ecology (I have even trained and rehabbed hummingbirds!). I began formally dog walking and training in January 2025 and have helped each of my clients transform their relationships with their dogs by learning how to efficiently and peacefully communicate. I hope to: 1) refresh your dog's basic obedience and floppy leash walking skills; 2) help you be aware of your dog's body language, and your own habits; and 3) empower you to become the leader your dog needs! I am happy to offer free nail checks and trimming! 1% of all proceeds will go to Blackhat Humane Society, a Navajo Nation rescue/ foster organization where I adopted my service dog Louie from! I am currently based in Albuquerque, and I have a very flexible work and life schedule, so I can likely accommodate requests for walks at any time and frequency! I have an extensive experience house and pet (and plant!) sitting for family and friends, and I always treat clients' dogs and homes with utmost respect. I am currently unable to host pets in my home.
“Mikayla was very sweet with my kitty and took great care of him. I had previously started him on a new food before my trip was confirmed and he had diarrhea/ loose poop while I was gone. Mikayla kept me updated and cleaned up after him when he didnt make it to his box. I can’t say how much I appreciate her for taking such good care of him.”
“Katie was great with Millie. We just needed her for a one time visit but she also did a meet and greet the day before. She was professional and prompt.”
“Kerianne took good care of our cat Tina! She kept her food and water bowls full and fresh, and got some play time in as well. We really enjoyed the cute pictures of our cat while we were away!”
About: I'm the one that has helped a toad cross the road, I've bottle fed goats growing up. I will catch bugs in my house and make sure they go back into nature. Hanging out with animals makes my heart happy. Administration of meds and giving them the love and attention they need is important to me. I've had pets since I was 5. I have had cats and dogs all my life, never not having them around. I have helped my dog give birth and helped with the membrane when some of the puppies were born too quickly and the mom was not able to free her puppies fast enough. I've administered medications.

I can help keep your furry friend feel comfortable with me and not feel like a whole lot has changed when their best friend isn't around.
“I have to hand it to Sierra--she really went the extra mile. When our wily, adventurous kitty escaped (which was our fault, due to a faulty screen) she was incredibly persistent and spent hours trying to retrieve him. Another person would have shrugged their shoulders and given up. We so appreciate her quality care and communication. Thank you, Sierra!”

About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.

Erich E.Star Sitter
“We have a 2.5 year old Husky-Australian Cattle Dog mix with more energy than she knows what to do with. While she is a smart, gentle, happy, and kind pup, she definitely has a hard time on walks… she goes into sled pulling mode. We’ve struggled with it for about a year and a half and kid you not - in 2 sessions with Erich, she suddenly knew how to stick by our side. He was patient with our dog and he taught us the skills and tactics to keep her by our side on walks so that she listens and obeys us, even when Erich isn’t there. We’re very grateful for Erich’s help and have talked about how we think he might be a dog whisperer!! Highly recommend working with Erich!”

Sierra D.
“I can say with total confidence that there’s no one more perfect for dog sitting than Sierra. Her background as a vet tech means she’s not only incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to animal health, but she’s also calm, capable, and professional in any situation. I’ve seen her lovingly care for animals of all kinds—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs—and every single one seems to fall in love with her instantly. She’s experienced with administering medications and even giving injections, which gives me total peace of mind when my pets need a little extra attention. But beyond all that, what really stands out is her heart. She has such a deep, genuine love for animals—it’s part of who she is. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and care for them with both skill and compassion, she’s the one.”

Patricia A.
“I had the wonderful experience of having Patricia Adams take care of my dogs(Doug & Lola) several times in the past two years. I know that she will care for my dogs as I would. I am quite comfortable with Patricia caring for my dogs, as she really relates to each ones individually, dedicated in doing whatever you ask of her whether it be walking or playing with your dogs, and caring for their well-being as if they were her own while we are away. Along with pet sitting, she goes above and beyond to ensure that your home is safe by checking to ensure doors are locked, windows are closed/locked, and a general walk thru of the whole house, which gives me much peace of mind. Also, she has been available to work with my schedule and at short notice. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone looking for pet sitting/walking services, because she is wonderful and dedicated with pets and is dependable. Thank you Patricia Adams Theresa Cdebaca (gooly77@gmail.com)”
