“Elthea and Joshua were awesome. They were so hospitable for our dog- and even accommodated a meet and great before our trip so our dog could get a sense of the space and their cute dogs. Throughout our time away, they sent many pictures and updates so we always knew our precious dog was well taken care of! We would totally recommend them to anyone who is looking for a kind, attentive, dog-loving place for their pooch!”
“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”
“Britt worked out so well for us! We were staying a night at Ojo Caliente (and they don’t allow pets). It was a great option for us to have a wonderful pet sitter so close to Ojo. Britt was an excellent communicator both before and during our pup’s (Axel) stay with him. He took Axel on walks and sent pictures through the stay. We highly recommend Britt for dog sitting, and would welcome the opportunity to use him again if we need a dog sitter!”
“Our 1yr old mini doodle had a blast with Genevieve’s 2 dogs - he knew where he was going the 2nd visit & was so excited! We had a blast while he had a blast - peace of mind. We will definitely see Genevieve & her sweet pups on our next trip.”
About: Lifelong compassionate caregiver of all ages and sizes. Detail-oriented, patient homebody with time to care and land to roam. Queer folks and women first but all welcome! 🌈🐾 I work part-time remote. My schedule bends to the needs of your pets. I do not board pets from different households at the same time. Fenced, secure yard; dog-proof everything indoors; separate rooms if needed, otherwise plenty of clean, cozy common area. Frequent yard time and walks. Experienced with senior care, medications (including injections), patience for puppies, and love for all canines!
“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”
“Chandra was such a hero for me! I was passing through, to visit the spa at Ojo Caliente, and dogs are not allowed there. Chandra was ultra flexible, as my schedule was at the whim of my travels from Colorado to New Mexico, and on both days she drove 30 minutes to meet me in a convenient meeting place. My dogs took to her immediately. Next time I come through Taos I’ll be sure to look her up.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets. I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.
“Alison is amazing. She took such wonderful care of our newly adopted dog. We were very worried about leaving him so soon after adoption, but he was treated with kindness and enjoyed daily walks and playtime with her and her sweet little dog. I would recommend Alison without hesitation and will definitely book with her in the future.”
