Dog Walkers in Dona Ana, NM

“Jasmine is wonderful! Our very shy girl, Zia, is so comfortable with Jasmine and she looks forward to her afternoon walk and time to spend on the sun. I don't know what we'd do if Jasmine wasn't available to help us out!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! She took good care of my dog and was great with communication and sending me videos of my baby!! Definitely will be booking again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.

About: My whole life I've been surrounded by pets. I was born into a house with a bird and 2 dogs, but once I turned 5 I had convinced my mother to bring home a cat from the grocery store after absolutely falling in love. Years down the line I moved and eventually had 4 dogs that I walked, played with, fed, bathed and mostly took care of myself. With time I moved in with my brother to help him take care of his house with 11 guinea pigs, 3 cats, and a leopard gecko! Once I turned 18 I was finally able to adopt my own cat, and since then I have adopted another one and who brings me so much joy. I love all animals and will take care of yours like my own! I am free everyday, weekdays and weekends! I am willing to change my schedule around to fit your needs as Rover is my main focus at the moment! Safety is always my number one priority. I do my best to keep my eyes on pets at all times to make sure they're not doing something they're not supposed to or getting into things they aren't supposed to. For walks I will never just lazily hold onto the leash, instead I'll be prepared like they can run off in any second. When I feed pets I watch them to make sure they don't eat too fast and throw up, and try to encourage them to drink water as well as check to see if they need to go to the bathroom when they're done. If I'm watching a pet and they show any sign of distress it's of immediate concern to me and I will be contacting the parents, as well as a vet if needed. If you entrust me to take care of your pet I will ensure they receive the best care possible until their favorite people get home! :)

“Maria was fantastic and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again! She took great care of Pumpkin on his walks and was a delight to work with :)”

“Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.”

About: Dogs are better than most people! What sets me apart is my ability to connect with pets quickly and make them feel safe. I’m patient with animals who need time to warm up. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality that deserves routine and connection that makes them feel right at home, even when you’re away. I have experience administering oral and topical medications, keeping up with special diets, and following detailed care instructions to the letter. I have specific experience with dogs that have CHF as well as dogs with liver disease and cancer. I’m a current volunteer and foster with Action Programs for Animals, though I have taken a break from fostering to focus on offering boarding and pet sitting services. I have no small children and work from home, so my flexible schedule allows me to offer walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays at times that work best for you and your pet. I’m big on communication- I send photo and video updates so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind while your pet gets all the love, attention, and care they deserve. If boarding your pet, my home is fenced and in a low-traffic and quiet neighborhood. When caring for pets in their own home, I keep their routine as close to normal as possible with same feeding times, same favorite spots, same walks or play sessions they love. I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

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: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.

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.

About: I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter. I work full-time from home, so I’m here throughout the day and night to care for your pup. My large, secure backyard is always open, giving dogs the freedom to come and go as they please. Access to the backyard is available all day for the dogs and they can freely go in and out as needed. I have a safe and secure home where dogs are allowed on the furniture and in every room of the house. I do not smoke or do any drugs and will ensure the safety, love, and care of your dogs. My home is a quiet, calm, and serene environment.

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: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*

“Tommie did an amazing job with Ringo while we were gone for the weekend. She took care of him beyond extra. I hope we can still book her for next time.”

“Alexa has been outstanding as a dog walker and companion for my dog, Piglet. I highly recommend her for your pet needs. Very sensitive and caring.”

About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
