About: Dogs are my great addiction. I've owned dogs and walked and trained them all my life, but until I settle into my next job, I can't have a dog of my own again, so I'm petsitting and walking dogs for extra “dog time.” I have trained dogs for decades and now I also walk dogs at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. in the past, I assisted a vets, once in the mobile spay/neuter clinic in the Navajo Nation, and in a few other instances with wildlife rehab and injured animals. I kept all my own dogs into old age and love senior dogs. With my family I raised 2 litters of Shepherd puppies, and Ive fostered mothers and puppies at my home. I work part-time and online, and can fit my schedule around your dog, cat or housesitting needs. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors in any weather so you never have to worry that your pet's schedule will be interrupted. Your home is as important to me as your animal family and both will receive loving care and attention from me. I've cared for many homes in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado and have excellent references from clients, neighbors and friends to share.
“Great communication, photos and updates throughout the stay. Very friendly and professional, supportive and thoughtful. Related very well to both the doggy and the kitty, as well as considerate regarding the house and its needs. Hopefully we’ll be able to connect again for future needs.”
“Emily did an excellent job caring for my doggos while I was away for the week! Leaving a newly homed 8 month-old pup and an older dog who was unexpectedly put on medication the day before my departure was almost enough for me to cancel the trip all together, but Emily made sure to provide lots of pictures and updates during her stay in the home and put my mind at ease during the trip. She was also very respectful of the house and a pleasure to communicate with. I would highly recommend Emily and look forward to rebooking her for any upcoming dog care needs :)”
“Ola took care of our dogs, cats, tortoise, and home for a night. They seemed to love her right away, and everyone was happy and loved when we returned. We felt at ease leaving everything in her hands!”
“Lydia and her friend were amazing! She was the sweetest with my two dogs and left the house super clean. Lydia is flexible, friendly, sent us pics and kept me updated on everything. You’ll be so lucky to have her caring for your babies!”
“Many thanks to Danielle! She saved the day when I needed to make a surprise trip to Utah to bring home a new puppy. Tully was so happy with Danielle and Kiwi that I think he was sorry to see me home! Danielle is terrific, you couldn’t ask for better.”
About: I'll walk, sit and board your dog while you're away! Whatever you need. I'm a graduate student with open availability. I can come to your place for a quick or long visit. While boarding, I'll feed and walk; watch movies; play or just lounge around. I was raised on a farm with many animals and currently have a well-behaved dog of my own. Let me know the fine details of what you prefer and I'll make sure to see it through. I live near a dog park and I travel around the outdoors and hiking places your dogs will love, too. I look forward to hearing from you. I have a friendly cat and can care for cats, too! Animals of all types are welcome. I’m a graduate student that loves animals! I was raised on a farm and look forward to caring for whatever pet you have. I have open availability so anytime is a good time! I have a fenced yard and take my friendly dog to a local, fenced dog park. Pets are welcome to roam around my house and lounge as they please, or bird watch outside in the yard.
“My puppy was happy and calm upon my return. Lynn did a great job caring for my puppy. In addition, her cat caught a mouse at my house! Lynn and her team went above and beyond the call of duty. ❤❤❤”
“Hannah house/cat sat for us once again when we had an unplanned emergent trip. She was responsive to our request and accommodating even though it wasn’t the most convenient time for her. She is so very kind and conscientious that I feel at ease leaving my cat in her care. It’s a real gift! Thank you Hannah.”
“Corey took excellent care of my dog, and was super easy to coorinate and communicate with. I knew my dog was in expert hands with Corey, felt great about having her stay over at my house, and I came home to a calm, happy dog. I'll definitely look to her for future dog-sitting!”
“Amanda was great with our dogs. She made us feel very comfortable at the meet and greet with her questions re care, and listened to us drone on and on to how awesome our pets are...ha! She also was super helpful in dealing with one dog who has anxiety. We definitely will use her again. She was also responsive and helpful to our questions asnewcomers to Springfield.”
“Katie was an amazing dog sitter to my 2 dogs- one of which is a mouthy 4-month-old puppy! She was also a very respectful and responsible house sitter- leaving the house in immaculate condition. Katie has great energy and communication. I knew the dogs were in her loving and competent hands, which allowed us to truly enjoy our trip away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for three years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!
