“Michelle was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout the booking process. She provided excellent care for my dog, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“We love Kristen! Chewby is smitten with her and so am I. She is great with his special needs, being a puppy. Kristen has a laid back attitude but is very responsible. Her home is comfortably dog friendly with a large park around the corner. I searched and searched for a suitable dog sitter and finely found an excellent one with Kristen. Highly recommended!”
“Stevvi was great with our paraplegic dog! When we picked him up he seems very comfortable and happy and when we did shoot a message during the day to check on our pup she got back to us within minutes. We absolutely will book with Stevvi again.”
“Katie is wonderful!!! I was traveling for work away from my usual support group for my dog, and Katie instantly made me feel at ease. She’s kind, patient, and and great with anxious dogs like mine! 10/10 would recommend if your dog needs a friend in Santa Fe!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our little buddy today. We super appreciate you being able to take him last minute while we went on our adventure. Dominic is in great spirits, and we can tell he had a wonderful day with you. Thank you again, and we look forward to reaching out when we are back in Santa Fe.”
“Leahlani was awesome! Super responsive with our last minute request and she took great care of kona. She gave detailed feedback as to how Kona did and was available throughout the care experience to text. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm Eva! I’ve had dogs and been surrounded by pets my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Portuguese Water Dog, Claude. He craves social time with other dogs (big and small) and demands at least two trips a day to the grassy park down the street. He is very active and loves to hike or run after work when it's cool out. He loves learning new tricks and recently passed his Canine Good Citizen test. I work from home Monday - Friday and have a fenced in yard in the back if the dogs are desperate to get some energy out sooner rather than later! I work Monday - Friday on East Coast hours so am usually done by 3/3:30 to get the dogs out and enjoying the sunshine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day for walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We love to go for a run or hike after work when it is cool out! I am available all day, able to provide excellent communication and attention for your dog. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs can play in anytime they wish.
“Patris was a wonderful pet sitter to work with during a family trip to Santa Fe. She was prompt with responses and very accommodating on the days when we needed daycare for our pup. She took great care and sent pics/updates throughout the day. We really appreciated her help!”
About: Raised, trained & showed Brittany Spaniels for 25 yrs. Owned rabbits, multiple cats & different dog breeds while living in the country on 20 plus acres. Recently put down my 24 yr old tuxedo shelter cat, "Serenity". I live in an ideal neighborhood close to the plaza, trails & Marcy Community Park for walking your pet. My backyard is enclosed. I very much look forward to meeting & caring for your pet. I have often been told I am "a pet magnet." I am a retired 72 year old single gal so I have lots of time to devote to your pet. I enjoy frequent walks in my neighborhood. Hiking is a possibility if owner agrees. I have an enclosed backyard. I do not have children nor do I smoke. I would walk your pet on a leash frequently & create space & a distance from other dogs. Written instructions would be preferable about your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old. I have a 3 year-old Portuguese Water Dog who loves to have friends stay over. He’s incredibly friendly and welcoming to dogs staying over. I have a fenced yard (with GRASS!). I work from home so your dog will be given constant love and attention. Long walks are a must—especially to the two parks that are 5 minutes away. I work from home full time and have plenty of time throughout the day for walks. I am happy to pick up your dog from your home and bring them to ours! Claude, my 3-year-old Portuguese Water Dog, has had plenty of sleepovers lately and loves having a friend to hang out with at home. He’ll show your dog our fenced-in grassy yard, will gladly share his spot on the couch, and will advocate for your dog to get treats all day!
“Sue was the PERFECT sitter for our pup. She’s sweet, kind, and professional. She’s easy to communicate with and took time for my dog to become comfortable. My dog seemed to love her time there, especially playing with the other sweet dog. We’re so thankful we found Sue to care for our dog.”
About: I grew up overseas in a family that seemed to always have at least four dogs at home. My first dog (that truly felt like my own) was Lapsi, a beautiful crossbreed, that followed us home one day and never left. She went on to live with us for 16 years, giving birth to several generations of pups that we took care of and distributed across the Valley into caring family homes. In The States my first dog was not actually mine, but my freshman roommate's chestnut lab that he brought from home and that we both took care of - and now, full circle, my current roommates have 3 dogs! I think that qualifies me as a dog person, even if only by association. Throughout it all, I have learned to love our furry friends in all their variety: to receive love from them, to take care of them, watch over them, and even occasionally take urgent action to protect their well being. Pets have been a big part of my life and I'd love to share this enthusiasm with you. In the end it's a relationship that requires a little bit of nurturing and a whole lot of love. Cheers thanks for considering me! I'm currently in between work so I have ample time to afford your animal. In the heat, I find it's best to walk out side of peak hours - but depending on the naimal I am willing to forage in the midday heat. I have a compound with an animal gate that can provide security for most sizes of animals. It's important that all animals have spaces that are appropriate for them and if not that they can access a space that's suits them on a daily basis.

“Eva has watched my dog many times. She’s responsible, communicative, and takes the time to make the dogs she watches feel cared for and loved. My dog is very high energy so Eva took him for long hikes and trips to the park. It’s great that she works from home—she’s always around to give my dog attention when he stays with her. I would definitely recommend Eva—she’s responsible, caring, and a great dog sitter!”

Sandra H.
“I've known Sandra for at least 8 years. She's honest, thoughtful, considerate and always kind to animals. Very often over the years her cat would move in with me when Sandra would travel, and it was obvious the cat was well cared for and loved. The cat was well behaved and sweet (and so is Sandra).”
Russell S.
“Russell grew up with loving dog companions and learned early in life about the responsibilities and privileges of dog care. He is devoted to his 3 year old Portuguese Water dog: taking him for long runs, mountain hiking, swimming, and participating in a play group for dogs. He has carefully trained his dog to be an excellent canine community citizen and reading therapy dog at our library. He knows how to consistently and lovingly set expectations and boundaries using positive reinforcement. He is always proactive in keeping dogs safe, healthy, and happy. In short, Russell is extremely professional, caring, reliable, responsible and safe. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Andrea L.
“Andrea is amazing! She LOVES the dogs and they love her. She is extremely responsible and attuned to them; she has great skill in handling all types of dogs. If a dog barks, pulls, etc., she has the tools to help the situation. I think her biggest asset is how CALM she stays. This helps the dogs feel calm and.m safe themselves. Highly recommend Andrea.”
