Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!

About: I grew up with cats and various small pets and always house-sat for my neighbors and family. I've given medication before and am comfortable with timid animals. I've always volunteered at local animal shelters and cannot get enough animal time! I work from home 6am-3pm, but I am able to work from anywhere as long as there's wifi. I can make drop-ins during my lunch and use the afternoon to hang out for longer periods. I have two large dogs that are timid, so I understand how to introduce myself to a nervous pup. I don't mind cleaning up litter boxes or critter cages and am comfortable giving medications.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

I have also volunteered with CCCS (Cruces Cool Cats) helping provide basic sanctuary sanitation tasks such as cleaning and maintaining the sanctuary because I understand how important a clean environment is for a pet I have also helped in TNR transportation as well as Cat socialization. I understand how important your pet is too you a pet is a part of a family and when booking my services your pet will be treated as such.

About: Hello all! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! A little about me is that I am a huge animal lover (especially a dog lover) so much so that I began watching dogs for many family and friends and from there I became the go-to dog sitter in my area! What I enjoyed about it was spending time with different breeds and learning about their unique personalities. So, I decided to gain clientele once I heard about rover. I now have a pup that is a little over 3 years old and he is very sweet and loves all people and gets along with other dogs. My goal for your pets stay is for you and your pup to feel comfortable and safe, as I would want for my own dog. I send various updates and am open to special requests. I promise you, your pup will be in great hands! I work from home with a flexible schedule-so I am completely free to care for your pets most of the day. Working from home gives me the flexibility to accommodate to your dogs schedule by making sure they stick to a similar routine that they are used to at your home. I have a very friendly pup that would love to be friends with your pup! We have a fenced in yard for them to enjoy. I am very knowledgeable on body language when it comes to dogs socializing together and will never leave your dog unattended with mine just to be extra cautious. However; a meet and greet is recommended before booking overnight stays to ensure our pups will do well together. Still unsure if I’m the right choice for your pet? No worries! I am available to take any questions you may have!

About: I enjoy spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student at Central New Mexico Community College, and during this summer I’m taking online classes so I have a much more flexible schedule. While I do have other activities, I’m still able to make multiple visits throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! I provide a safe and caring environment whether I’m walking your dog or I care for your pet at your house. At your house, I will make sure your fur baby is well cared for and gets lots of attention. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities.

About: Hi, I’m a graduate college student at NMSU ! Majoring in environmental science hence the headline, therefore I love nature. I have been around dogs since the age of 6. My first dog was a Rottweiler and I loved him with all my heart until he passed of old age. Now I have 2 Havanesse, small and energetic and I love it. Dogs are a mans best friends and I can be your pets friend too!! Your dog and I will go to the park and play all day or just have a peaceful stroll. And if we have a sit-in the stomach rub will be endless along with some fun (no messing up the house of course;) ). I’m super friendly and personable so please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time with any questions. These are your dogs and I want to do everything I can for them. I’m currently back home from college with one more year left. So I have a pretty lenient job and will be able to adjust often. I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets by adhering to any specific care instructions provided by clients. This includes maintaining a clean and pet-friendly environment, following dietary guidelines, providing regular exercise and playtime, and ensuring constant supervision to prevent any accidents or mishaps.

Heather is great with our two cats, even with one that is less than friendly. She is very personable and we will continue booking Heather every time we go anywhere. We can’t say enough good about her and we don’t have to worry if the girls are being taken care of.

About: I’m not as experienced in caring for dogs. However, I am flexible and willing to learn and help out wherever I am needed. I am more comfortable with small dogs for now. I’m a substitute teacher during the school year, so while school is out, I have plenty of time to drop in to give your pets companionship and care. In my own home I do my best to always make sure my cat has several sources of water and a clean litter box and plenty of ways to entertain herself while I’m away. While caring for others’ pets I make sure to follow instructions closely and follow established routines.
