Dog Walkers in Dona Ana, NM

“Jennifer is always on time and sends pictures of the pups with updates. I like how she responds instantly as well. I can tell the pups enjoy their walks when we come home from work. Thank you Jennifer for what you do!”

“Jasmine was amazing with my two golden retrievers and their walks! One of my goldens is super stubborn and she was very patient and gentle with her. That same golden has hip dysplasia and she worked with me to get her comfortable on her walks. So glad I found her. Definitely booking again! ?”

“I needed help walking my dogs due to a busy schedule, and I’m so glad I found Kayla. After meeting her last week, she has walked my dogs a couple of times and has done an excellent job. She’s very easy to communicate with, always prompt, and consistently shows up right on schedule. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. I’ll definitely be using her in the future, especially while I’m on vacation.”

“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!”

“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: 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.

“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 :)”

About: I have experience taking care of all shapes, sizes, and attitudes of pets. I have yet to meet an animal I don’t like! I understand that finding proper pet care can be stressful, I would be more than happy to help minimize these worries. I treat all fuzzy/furry creatures as if they are my own, in the same way I’d want my babies to be cared for. I am a current graduate student, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I find that I have availability for a least several hours each day if not entire days. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority! I can offer services such as simple walks and checks-in as well as more in-depth care such as staying with the animals for extended periods of time.

“Nayeli is always so professional in and around my home and my dogs--she is knowledgeable and friendly! Even my shy kid warmed up to her almost immediately! My dogs love her! I haven't been able to walk my dogs due to some health issues, and she has been so valuable to our family. Thank you so much for your continued care!”

About: Hi! I’m Rush, all my loving pet clients call me Auntie. 🥰 I’ve had pets my entire life — dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, birds, a hedgehog, an iguana, turtles, ducks, and even two horses. I’ve been called an animal whisperer more than once, and I think it’s because animals have always felt like home to me. I’ve lovingly cared for pets from their first puppy days all the way through their final chapters. My own blue heeler/border collie Clover has been my companion for 14½ years — he’s taught me everything about devoted, patient, and attentive care. Your pet won’t just be watched. They’ll be truly seen and adored. I am a full-time pet sitter and walker — caring for animals is my life’s calling. I’m new to the Las Cruces area and my books are wide open, so your pet gets my full attention and devotion! I primarily offer in-home pet care, coming to your pet in the comfort of their own space. I also have a fenced yard with four friendly, welcoming resident dogs who love making new friends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority.

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*

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! :)

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: 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: 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 am always on time and I genuinely love taking care and playing with animals! Previously having my own dog has taught me many things about pet care. I have all the skills needed to provide great care and attention for your pets. I can provide walking services as well as at home pet care! Im usually only available friday-sunday but I will be available every day for the next couple of weeks. I can come anytime needed on those days. Feel free to contact me about availability. I am able to provide them with lots of attention with every visit! Im able take care of their water, food, and bathroom needs. I am also able to provide them with exercise like walking and playing.

“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.”

About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.

About: Like many people, I grew up surrounded by animals and developed a deep care for them early on. While I am new to professional pet care, my main priority is to provide a safe, caring, and trustworthy environment for every pet and owner. I’m currently in school online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available Monday–Friday for daily walks and check-ins, and Friday–Sunday for house sitting, though I’m also open to weekday house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to focus and provide consistent, attentive care for each pet. While I have not professionally cared for pets, I am someone who is always trying to learn and understand how to give better care, whether that’s for a future pet of my own, general knowledge, or a professional setting. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is following their routine exactly as provided, including feeding, walks or litter box care, and ensuring they are safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owner is away. I also make sure the environment stays clean and that pets are not left unattended for longer than needed. My priority is building trust and creating a calm, safe environment so owners feel confident their pet is being cared for. As summer approaches, I understand pets may pant more after walks. I allow time for them to cool down and offer water in appropriate amounts, being mindful of feeding timing to help avoid discomfort or issues like bloat

About: I have had pets my entire life-- from dogs and cats to lizards, hamsters, chickens, guinea pigs, and gerbils. I was always the little girl who was bringing home stray wildlife and begging my parents to keep it. I have been petsitting and housesitting for about 20 years. I am honest, trustworthy, and above all I care deeply about animals. I have experience with senior animals, babies, and everything in between. I am comfortable administering medication, matching your dogs energy, going on walks, cuddling on the couch, and just being a fun companion for your pet when you can't be. I also have experience with animals who have been in traumatic situations. I understand how to navigate the boundaries of a scared animal, and I am a gentle and quiet-natured person who most dogs and cats learn to trust pretty quickly. I do have a baby that I occasionally need to bring with me to jobs. He never spends the night and I keep him safely in a pop-up playpen if he’s not right with me. I have a very flexible daily and weekly routine. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and even staying overnight if desired. I am married so my spouse is able to care for my pets while I am caring for yours! My priority is making sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and getting the care it needs. I let you tell me about their schedule, your preferences on my time at your house, and your dogs quirks. I am very amenable to adapting my routine to fit your pet's lifestyle.
