“Alexis did an amazing job caring for our pup Benny and our home while we were on vacation. I’m usually pretty anxious about leaving Benny since he can be a bit high-energy, but Alexis handled him so naturally and confidently. She kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which really helped put me at ease. She made sure Benny got his walks and lots of love, and even left our home clean before she left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—10/10, we would absolutely hire Alexis again!”

“First turn since moving that we left our pets for a week, and Hossanna made us feel super comfortable and we could relax knowing our pets were being well taken care of! Very communicative and took great care of the house and our creatures.”

“Brigit was responsible, responsive, and capable with our maltipoo puppy for four days while we were gone. She sent picture updates, left the house tidy, and our pup was happy.”

“Alexus was so sensitive to our nervous pup, Rusty’s needs! He’s new to us and was anxious about us going out; he apparently was jumping up thinking we were home every time the heat came on, so she turned down the temperature so he could be more relaxed. Thank you so much, Alexis!”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
“Yet again, Autumn went above and beyond in taking care of my beloved cat, Zayda. She sent awesome pictures that showed how well they were getting along, and stayed an extra night when I had to change my travel plans. I trust Autumn completely with my animals, and my animals are my life. I know that she loves my fur kids, too. Very grateful to have found her!”

About: Animals are a large part of my life and I enjoy taking care of each one and their particular needs. I have a wide range of experience from livestock to feathered friends and love them all! I am comfortable administering medication, grooming, playing, and loving on indoor and outdoor animals of all ages. I am attentive to detail and will make sure your pets and home are taking care of to the highest degree. Please reach out with any questions and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you are away. I'm currently on summer vacation, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets attention and love! I am available to drop in for a visit or stay at your home. If I am already booked for a house stay, no worries, I can still check in on your pets! I can send lots of photos and videos to give peace of mind. Your pets will receive the highest quality of care, and I am happy to follow any special instructions for each and every one. I guarantee a save environment and happy animals!
“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Reliable and great communication in a timely manner, which is hard to find nowadays. Malcolm was punctual, informative, and never once did I have to reach out for updates. Excellent service at an affordable price. Will definitely book again in the future”


“Vincent has watch our dogs, and home, twice. He is very professional, courteous, dependable, and communicates well. It gives great peace of mind knowing that our dogs are being well cared for in their own home when we are away. Thank you, Vincent! Looking forward to next time.”

“Juan was great! He came to my house last minute while my husband was in the hospital and stayed with Bacon for us. He took great care of our baby. He actually had him come back the next day to help again.”

“My pups loved Regina! They were very relaxed when we got home, and she did everything we asked. We will definitely invite Regina back to watch Roscoe and Tilly.”
“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”

About: Hi! My name is Paulo. I love dogs and it is a pleasure been able to work with them. I have experience on taking care of dogs, since I have aways been a dog parent myself. I will treat your loved one with patience, respect and professionalism. I do dog walks and dog sitting. I am from Brazil, and I have such love for my dog that I brought my mixed dog Lupita from there to leave with me in New York City. She was rescued from a shelter there, and have made my life way more fullfil and happy since then. Other than that, I've aways had dogs and other pets since I was a kid and I have been walking and sitting dogs for two years.
“Gabriel is a dog whisperer! When our German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix proved to be a bit skittish, Gabriel confidently lended a calming and supportive presence, over an extended caregiving stay, that helped our dog warm up and feel safe. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind he provided, and we would not hesitate to have him care for our pup again! Plus, he left the house in great shape. We wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel! Thank you!”

“Jessie did a super job. She provided great care and communication over a long weekend, and my dog and dwelling were is superior shape upon my return. Much thanks to Jessie!”

Paloma went out of her way to care for our three adult/senior dogs and 15-week-old rescue puppy on relatively short notice, allowing us to spend much-needed quality time with family out of state. We had peace of mind the entire week we were away and returned to happy pets!

This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!

Riley was great - she is communicative, sweet, and took good care of my pup and house! My dog was on a couple of meds so was feeling off during her stay and she made sure to give him his meds and was understanding of his weird little behaviors. I had total peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we were gone. Thanks you!! 😊

As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.

Josephine took amazing care of my 13 year old shih-tzu Chloe, and was extremely attentive to all of her needs. Chloe has separation anxiety, so I was worried to travel but Josephine was reliable, communicative and made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup! Chloe was clearly so well taken care of & loved for 😊

Corinne was great - our dogs are very suspicious to everyone they meet, but Corinne made friends with them very fast. She send us daily updates and pictures and we felt that they are in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Corinne again - and I hope she will be available than as well.
