Pet Sitting Big Bend

“Jana did excellent in taking care of my 2 cats. She sent a lot of cute pictures of my cats. She is very reliable and great with cats. She also went above and beyond agreeing to water my plants too.”

About: I’ve grown up with many cats (tabbies, calicos, and black cats) and dogs (pit bulls) throughout my childhood. I’m very familiar with environments that involve pets. I’m also known to be very punctual, have friendly and positive attitude, and pay excellent attention to detail! I’m a 22 year old young adult and I work part time as a prep cook for a Mexican restaurant! I live with my fiancé who works as a caregiver but we have opposite schedules, so there will always be a person in the house to look after your pet. I work Thurs-Sunday from 7am to 3pm. I may be out of the house once a day for a hour or two to run errands. Besides that, we’ll be available to keep an eye on your furry friends! :) I live in a 650 sqft apartment within a gated community! The apartment complex has a small outside pet area with other sidewalks and grass to enjoy. I can also provide food and toys if needed!

“Jenny took wonderful care of our dogs. She gave great updates and we never worried about our pups while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”

“Adrienne was an excellent sitter/walker for my hyperactive Brittany. He needs his walks in foothills daily and Adrienne was prompt with her arrivals and always provided a cute photo of my pup enjoying his walk. This really put me at ease for my first trip away from my dog. I would highly recommend Adrienne for your sitter/walker needs!”

About: I lost my sixteen-year-old fur baby in October, 2018 and find myself missing that special energy only pets can bring. I have been caring for various pets for my friends and family for about 20 years and have done drop ins and overnight visits. I do have a full-time 8-5:30, Monday-Friday (and many Saturdays) job however, and am not available to provide constant care for pets. I do have more than enough time to devote myself to the love and care of your fur baby. In my home, in my life, dogs and cats are family and deserve the same love, care, and respect that human beings deserve. Perhaps more. While I have more experience with dogs I haven’t met a cat I couldn’t win over. Rest assured that if you place the care of your beloved pets in my hands they will be well loved while you are out of town. Your home will be cared for as well. I do have a “regular” 8 am to 5 pm job. My evenings and nights are free. Weekends are also more flexible for me when it comes to spending quality time with your baby. I am not able to provide constant care. I live in an apartment complex so I am more than happy to visit your fur baby in their own environment. I want to make sure your pets are as comfortable as possible so I’d prefer to maintain the schedule and comfort they’re used to.

“Fantastic as usual!! August is an awesome communicator and always does a great job with my furry crew. Our dog had an accident in her crate and August did a great job to get her cleaned up until we got home. 10/10 😊”

“Tawnia did an excellent job checking on our finicky dogs. They behaved for her very well. I recommend Tawnia and I will use her in the future as a dog sitter when the need arises.”

“Absolutely love how well Holly and Rob take care of our pups! They are very kind and attentive. We have a dog who has trouble getting up and they ensure to gently help him up to ensure he gets some time walking around. Thank you so much!!”

Jennifer L.

“Emily has taken care of my senior cat multiple times and treats her like gold. She is an excellent communicator, feeds and plays with Michelle. I feel secure and comfortable with Michelle in her care.”

Susan M.

“Katie was stellar, as usual. Our cat had a medical condition, which required some extra attention, while we were gone but due to Katie’s watchful eye we felt safe to leave him with her.”

Viola M.

“Great communication, asks questions & gives updates, and most important - dog likes her :)”

“Mira came to my home earlier in the week and did a walk through meet and greet. She was very pleasant to meet. On the day of pet care she kept me posted and sent some comforting photos of the love they received. She is trustworthy and reliable and highly recommended to care for your fur family”

“Thank you Malcolm. It looks like Kenji remembered you. I really appreciate your flexibility. I’ll look at the calendar and let you know of future bookings. They will likely be in the early evening.”

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for them through every stage of life. I’ve helped care for senior dogs who needed extra support with mobility, including lifting and assisting dogs over 50 pounds. I understand the patience and attention that older dogs sometimes need. I currently have a dog of my own, and because I work from home with flexible hours, I’m able to exercise him three times a day and give him plenty of attention throughout the day. I know every dog is different, so I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, routine, and individual needs. Whether your dog needs a long, energetic walk, a slower senior stroll, or just some extra patience and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m currently completing my master’s degree part-time from home, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. Pet care already plays a big role in my daily routine—I take my own dog out for walks and exercise three times a day. Since my coursework is remote and I don’t have another job outside the home, I have plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and spending quality time with pets throughout the day. I’m happy to work around each dog’s usual routine and individual needs. I’ve personally had dogs with very different personalities and comfort levels, which has taught me how important it is to read each dog and respect their boundaries. One of my dogs growing up was uncomfortable with new people at first but became incredibly loving once properly introduced, so I learned not to simply walk into a dog’s space and expect immediate trust. Another of my dogs loves having people in the home but is much more uncomfortable around people while out on walks. These experiences have taught me to pay attention to body language, introductions, triggers, and the environment rather than assuming a dog will react the same way in every situation. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and prioritize making their dog feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I’ll even do the silly things our dogs make us do. Like microwave their food.

“Max did an amazing job. He met me the day before to receive instructions and meet Whiskey and Willow. He was thoughtful and asked smart questions. For the stop-ins, he came at consistent times each day and sent photos. He was reliable and trustworthy and I’d hire him again”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My dad is a herpetologist, so I grew up caring for snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, and fish, along with dogs, cats, and chickens. This gave me an early understanding of different species, temperaments, and individual care needs. I recently relocated from Pennsylvania, while my dog is staying with my family, where she is very loved and well cared for. I’m currently saving my Rover earnings toward a road trip home to bring her here to New Mexico. Even knowing she’s in great hands, I understand how hard it can be to miss your pet and how important it is to trust the person caring for them. That perspective is a big part of how I approach pet sitting—I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with animals of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, and I treat each one with the same patience and attention I would want for my own. Please message me your pet sitting needs and I can likely accommodate! My availability is more open than reflected on Rover. Presently, I drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting/overnight care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a small dog yard and a nearby park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment and will diligently follow all care instructions and routines closely and give each pet the individual attention they need to feel secure and at home.

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!

“Our fur babies were so happy to have Valerie take care of them! She did an excellent job! She kept them healthy and happy. Her daily reports and photos were very reassuring. We are so thankful to Valerie for the love and care she gave our pets.🩷🩷”
