About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.

About: I've had animals in my life since I was a toddler. If you've seen it in a pet store, I have had it before! I am also married to a professional dog trainer, so I know where to go for any helpful tips! I work from home every day of the week, which gives me great flexibility in looking after your pet. I always strive to offer a warm and loving environment for your four-legged, furry friends. I currently work from home so I am always present and able to respond quickly to any issues. This ensures that I will always be aware of what is going on and you can be confident I'll be able to effective watch after your furry friend! We have a fenced back yard that has not allowed a dog escape yet as well as a lot of extra room in our house with extra areas that can be blocked off so that animals will not be super crowded.

About: Certified animal lover! I have many years of experience working with many different dog and cat breeds. I used to do professional dog grooming so I am educated in wide variety of breeds, behaviors, health conditions, coat care and proper restraint. My number one priority when caring for your fur baby is safety. I grew up around animals and I currently own a Great Dane and Doberman mix. My Doberman has a history of health conditions so I am familiar with administering medication to dogs. Communication is important to me so I try to respond to messages and phone calls as soon as possible. Usually after I sit I give feed back to let you know how things went while you were away. I’m willing to do what ever it is my client asks for to satisfy their needs with their animals that I am being trusted to care for while they are away. I am currently available every day of the week and I have a very flexible schedule. Please contact me for any additional scheduling questions or concerns. When I stay at a clients home I ask for emergency contact information, safe areas, and off limit rooms. If your pet has any known health concerns I ask that you communicate them with me so I can keep an eye out. The safety of your home is just as important to me as your pet! Please let me know if there is any additional requests such as locking up, alarm system rules, checking the mail, etc.
