“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: My name Christina, I have been around pets all my life. My daughter has been doing Rover for over 6 years and she absolutely loves it! So, I decided to sign up! When my daughter was moving back from Alabama to New Mexico, I took care of her cat and dog for about 3 weeks. I fed them, walked her dog and gave them plenty of love until she returned. I am fully vaccinated for Covid. My schedule fluctuates because I have a part time job and the hours vary. So, we can talk about the schedule prior to booking. I would love to take care of your fur babies because I would treat them like my grand babies like my daughters babies and give lots of loving and care while you are away. My daughters fur babies & their personalities: She cat and a dog. Tucker is the most laid back cat you will ever meet. You can literally carry him like a baby. He is great for introducing dogs that have never met cats before. **Please be mindful though, if your dog does not like cats. Please please please let me know that when you message me.* Yoshi is the only dog. Yoshi is a Shiba Inu who loves loves loves to play! I got Yoshi about 6 years ago. My pets are fully vaccinated and gets flee medication once a month. He is neutered. Yoshi, is a Shiba and if you know anything about Shiba's they can have temperamental personalities. Yoshi gets along with other dogs but on his time. He does not like over dominate/ over aggressive dogs. If your dog displays that, please be mindful, honest and upfront about the dynamics. Your animals are top priority when it comes to safety as well as my daughter animals. Cancellation Policy: If you book a stay with me. You will have 3-days before the start of the stay to cancel to get a full refund. If you cancel after the 3-days, you will be refunded 50% of the stay. The the 3-day policy in place, because I value your time and mine as well. I understand when unforeseen things happen. When I commit to booking with you, I decline all other bookings if the other booking dates conflict with your booking date to ensure that your animals will receive the best care. If you cancel after, I will not be able to recover from the other bookings in a short time span. This is first on my bio so you completely understand what the cancellation process is, so you can prepare for it ahead of time. Thank you in advance for understanding. First book, first serve: When booking for my services, I implement a first come, first serve service. More like first book, first serve. If a booking request is sent to me but not paid for in full, the booking is still pending. Meaning the dates requested will still be open for another client to book. If I receive a booking and it is completely booked and paid for then those dates will be blocked off my calendar to ensure that another client can't book during those dates. My schedule fluctuates, I have a part time job. We can speak about scheduling prior to booking to make sure I will be a good for you and your babies. I have been around pets all my life.

About: As a pet parent to three cats and an experienced pet sitter, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and comfort level. For years, I've cared for pets through friends, family, and client referrals, providing personalized care for everything from energetic pets to shy, anxious animals who need extra patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for rescue and traumatized dogs who are fearful of humans, creating a calm, predictable environment where they can feel safe and secure. Whether I'm caring for a puppy, a senior cat, or small pets like sugar gliders, geckos, or ferrets, I adapt my approach to each pet's individual needs. For some house-sitting bookings, my husband may join me during portions of the stay and will accompany me to all initial meet-and-greets. Many clients appreciate the extra set of helping hands with pet-related chores and yard cleanup at no additional cost, while I remain responsible for all pet care, communication, and daily routines. If you would prefer that the booking be handled solely by me, I'm always happy to accommodate that request. My hybrid work schedule allows me to spend much of the day with the pets in my care, providing companionship, consistency, and plenty of attention while you're away. My goal is always to help your pets feel comfortable, maintain their normal routines, and receive the same level of care and respect I would want for my own. When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, emotional comfort, and respect for their home environment. I strictly honor every pet’s personal boundaries, double-check secure entries (doors, gates, and leashes), and closely follow feeding and care instructions to keep routines seamless. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, so I provide regular photo and text updates to keep you informed and give you peace of mind while you're away.

“Cassandra was incredible! Awesome check in pictures, good communication and timely. Thoughtful, clean and even made my dog home made dog treats! I had no worries while I was away! Fully recommend and play to work with her again in the future.”

Rose B.

“I have been lucky to work with Esparita for boarding over the last several years and this was the first time that I was able to have her come for a drop in visit while I was away. As always, she goes above and beyond with excellent communication, great care with my dogs, And I couldn’t ask a family member to take better care of them. Could not recommend anybody higher!”

Chip S.

“Heaven is just wonderful! When we did our meet and greet, I found that she had read both of my big dogs' profiles. She asked relevant questions about each dog's health and medical needs. She came wearing a small bell so that my blind dog would know where she was--so smart and thoughtful! Upon successive drop in visits, she made sure to follow all directions, gave each dog individual attention and belly rubs (which they loved!) and also made sure they had a backyard visit. She sent pictures and notes following each visit. It is very obvious that Heaven has dog experience and takes their care seriously. I am looking forward to using her services in the future and feel very happy to have found her!”

“Jessica was prompt, professional and personable. She took care of our two cats and responded timely, we requsted this service last minute and Jessica was great. We will definately use her again.”

About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.

“We hired Levi to watch our cats while gone for 3 weeks out of the country. He did multiple daily checks that involved several tasks, including litter management, feeding, playing, and also took care of our plants. He was easy to get ahold of and is great to work with. Will definitely be using him again.”

Conor S.

“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our cats! I could already tell the first time I met her that she would do a great job. She asked great questions had great attention to detail. Very responsive, always on time, and our cats were happy and well taken care of the whole time. Thanks again Marina!!”
