“What a wonderful caring person Michelle is! A last minute booking and I felt totally confidant and at ease leaving our two dogs (including a special needs pup) with her. Happy tired dogs- the best!”


2. Joy L.

“Joy is a doggie day care legend. She went above and beyond at taking care of my pup. She took him to the park, followed all instructions, and gave him genuine love and care. Will definitely ask for her services when I'm in the area again!”


3. Stevvi A.

“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.”




4. Patris K.

“Our family visited Santa Fe and needed a dog sitter to assist with daytime care for a few days. Patris was wonderful with our pup, very accommodating, and quick to respond. Thank you Patris for all your help!!!”


5. Leahlani S.

“Leahlani was super helpful. I recommend her as a sitter!”


6. Jerrett S.
“For 2 years, we trusted Jerrett to watch our beloved dog, Otis. Along with being incredibly responsible and timely, Jerrett created a bond with Otis that made him wag his stubby tail every time he saw him! On longer trips, we received picture updates and daily texts about how he was doing. Being able to leave our dog at home with Jerrett made our dog's life less stressful, as he was able to stay in his own yard and sleep in his own house & bed. We have a new dog now, and have yet to leave her, but when we do, we'll hire Jerrett.”


7. Austin g.

“Open, flexible, communicator. Austin is all that. He was good with my puppy and kept in touch throughout the day. He introduced Zo to another dog as well. Picked up my pup and Zo was happy to see me of course but not stressed out. My dog is very sensitive and I could tell he did well with Austin. I’d request him again.”


8. Susan W.

“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.”




9. David V.

“David was great! Responded to my last minute request and took excellent care of Chief for the day. Received lots of pictures & videos throughout the day!”


10. zoe p.

“Zoe took amazing care of Oso and was so caring to his needs! He has a lot of energy as we explained, so Zoe took him on a long hike and even brushed him! So grateful for the extra care!”

About: I started with cat sitting as a tween, but started walking dogs at the humane society in college and fell for dogs! I've sat for many a neighbor dog, and learned many practical things in that time. Owning my first dog made all of my "knowledge" laughable! I had to potty and leash train my 1 yr old, 125 lb, extremely anxious rescue dog - a Herculean feat!! I've found that I'm good at training and I have LOTS of patients with difficult dogs. I am an artist that works from home, which is good because my dog has extreme separation anxiety! We would love to have your pup join us! We are in a duplex with a big, fenced-in backyard. I love snuggling and lounging around with dogs and am a master at fetch! My own dog is a lazy 6 yr old mastiff/dane who only feels comfortable with small dogs. Depending on his mood and your own dog's energy level, he may play with them, snuggle, or simply ignore them and sleep the day away as usual.




12. Ezra L.
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.




13. Lynn C.
“Lynn Celeste has watched after my babies with dependable care and love, going on several years. Sadie is an elderly Aussie who needs exercise (just the right amount these days) as well as attention and care. I can count on Lynn for timely visits for feeding, medication, and exercise...and sometimes an extra brushing. On longer trips, I can count on her to watch the house and as well as run Sadie to the groomers, etc if needed. She is great with my two cats as well! While I've used neighbors and other house/pet sitters in the neighborhood, I'll always try to get Lynn if she's available.”


14. Elthea & Joshua M.

“Althea and Josh were awesome for our baby boy blue. They kept us informed with him and sent great pictures of him. The only draw back was they're location from us tourists. However, we would use them again if and when we come back to Santa fe. Good peeps!!!”


15. Lauren W.

“My dog is skittish around new people but Lauren took the time to get him comfortable. Thank you Lauren!”


16. Cristina R.

“This was our pup’s first experience with a sitter, and Cristina made it a great one for all of us. She even gave us tips for how to spend our time in town. Highly recommend!”


17. Britt B.

“Britt was perfect. I would request him 100x’s again”


18. 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.”


19. Jesse G.
“Jesse has been raised on a farm and has always taken care of all kinds of animals. He has always had a pet growing up and is a current pet owner. He is a honest and responsible adult and knows how important pets are as a special part of the family.”


20. Shaylene M.
“Shaylene is a down to earth caring and loving person she is a true dog lover. We were able to enjoy being away from our babies with no worry at all and when returning home all three babies were relaxed and happy!! Will definitely recommend Ms Shaylene. Looking forward to our next get away as I know for sure my animals are in good hands.”
