Dog Walkers in Eldorado at Santa Fe, NM

About: I am a mature and reliable person. My special skills comes by experience over time. I have had several feline companions over 40 years and had administered fluids via IV. I’ve had 2 canines. One for 10 years, one for 3 years. One had heart disease requiring regular pilling and anal gland expression. Another was a cockapoo I often groomed myself. I have a good sense when something is wrong. It may not be glaringly clear, but I do pick up on odd behaviors and look out for possible problems. I steer clear of edibles outside, but should I miss it, I can reach into mouths and attempt to remove before swallowing. I have been pet sitting since 2019. I have handled pets with various issues mental, emotional and physical. I love my new job. I am confident I will easily instill in you confidence and trust in me. Your companion(s) is priority in my schedule. My volunteer work, professional and social appointments can be made around their schedule. I am retired and do not NEED to be anywhere. I care for your companions same as you. I pay attention to any communication. I follow all the instructions I am given to the best of my abilities. I call or text if there is a question or situation not covered. I give affection and attention but gauge the appreciation. Watch for problems or changes, including in feces. I will send texts and pics daily.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all shapes and sizes most of my life with various health issues which I’ve been fortunate to learn from. I’ve been raising a now almost 3 year old Rottie pup (Raja); well-versed in training through positive reinforcement and happy to support any training that you are working on while your fur baby is in my care! I send lots of photo updates (I know how daunting it can be to leave your baby with a stranger), and I am always a call away for peace of mind. Know that your pup will be treated as family and very well loved while they are in my care 😊! This is currently my full time gig while I work on becoming a certified herbalist so my schedule is pretty flexible for playing or walking with your pups! I am available Monday-Friday with some weekends depending on the week. I am currently only taking home visits or walks as I get my outdoor area at home more situated! Safety and trust are very important to me, I will never put your dog or myself in any questionable situations, and will make sure our activities are suited to your comfortability. Water and treats are always on hand (let me know of any allergies they may have).

About: Bachelors in animal science, with an emphasis in companion animal care and medicine. Two years veterinary experience. I have companion animal training experience and education. Pet care is an important part of my weekly routine. I dedicate time to exercise, feeding, and monitoring pets’ health, ensuring they get the attention and care they need every day. This routine helps me stay connected with animals and maintain my skills in handling different needs, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra support. I provide attentive care by staying in owners’ homes or doing daily check-ins, ensuring pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for in their own environment.

“Lise was amazing to work with would highly recommend!”

“Lana is great! Very communicative. Keeps me super up to date. Really goes above and beyond when trying to form a bond with a dog. My dog can be a stubborn and shy girl when it comes to new people, and Lana has really taken the time to let my dog get to know her with a great deal of patience.”

“Angel takes such great care of our pup! She’s quick to respond and flexible with our schedule. Can tell from the pictures she sends that our dog is happy and enjoys walks with Angel.”

Olivia H.

“Hannah started regular dog walks for our sweet girl last week. After two weeks of daily walks (M-F), we are as big a fan of Hannah as she is of our pup. Daily reports are a treat to read and we know Sophie’s leash is in capable hands each afternoon while we are at work. Hannah is prompt and reliable and great with our dog. Five stars.”

Rebecca R.

“Gavin came over for a meet & greet under really short notice and was available all week when we had a schedule change. He took my two boys on long walks and sent pictures- always a plus! I felt like my dogs were in great hands with him, and we will definitely be using Gavin again in the future.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life so I understand the basics of training and taking care of them. I currently have an orange tabby named Prince who gets along super well with other dogs and cats! No worries if your pet doesn’t get along with others though, I can also have other people watch him while yours stays. I can care for pets whenever, I have classes throughout the week but since I stay on campus I’m never more than 5 minutes walking distance away from my dorm. On average I have about 3 hours of classes per week day so I’m home the rest of the time. I will be able to board always and do dog walks any day of the week. I have reliable transportation as well. My dorm is quite large so I have space to take care of pets, as well as toys and food and a litter box for cats if you can’t bring yours. I also live in a very outdoorsy campus so I can take dogs on long nature walks.

About: I love all animals and have extensive experience with cats and dogs, from personally owning them myself to volunteering with local shelters. I have done it all. I am pretty flexible. My daily routine already includes taking care of my 5 rescue cats, which includes feeding them and cleaning their litter areas. I like to make sure I make the pets feel at ease however I can. I know this experience can be anxiety-inducing, and I am patient with all kinds of personalities.

About: My pets growing up were 3 dogs Lacy, Maya and Frodo as well as many kitties. Oso was my Cat, we had him from the time I was 4-14years old. We also had a chicken coop we were responsible for, horses that were our landlords but that we fed, and a fish tank with guppies and sucker fish. My 1st gig watching someone else’s pet, was for an elderly woman at my church when I was about 12. Milo was an older golden retriever. I walked him, cleaned his outside restroom area, fed, bathed, and blow-dryed him. Family and friends have always reached out to me for help over the years, I have cared for Rottweilers, pit bulls, small dogs, handicap animals, both cats and dogs. I am great with communicating and accustomed to following the routines their owners have set for them as I believe that is most respectful. My schedule is 8am-1pm. So I am free all afternoons typically Mon-Thursday. Weekend hours vary for me but I am usually available either morning or night. I have stone floors 1 roll out carpet, and live in a non-smoking apartment. I have a small backyard with dirt area and kennel. Willing to do house visits as well! Don’t mind taking dogs to parks in my car either as long as it’s okay with the owner.

“Brittany is INCREDIBLE. She is made to be working with animals! I feel blessed to be able to leave my pup in her care when I’m at work. She’s professional, provides great updates (with photos), and is an all around wonderful human. I am so lucky to have found Brittany to care for my puppy.”

About: animals are the best, i’ve grown up with cats & dogs my whole life - finally adopting my own in college and they are my bff’s. i always want to find someone reliable & caring to watch my pets when im out of town so i want to provide that service to others !! i’m pretty flexible at the moment! can fit in week days & weekends as well as overnight as necessary - reach out & will work with you! i make sure my pets get alllll the attention, are well cared for and loved as well as properly fed, hydrated and given any other necessary accommodations. i always prioritize a clean house as well! i’m very type A about cleanliness & schedule which my pets sure appreciate!!

About: I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, small mammals, exotic and domestic birds, reptiles, and fish. I have experience as both a short and long term pet/house sitter. A large portion of my life has been spent working at pet stores, aquariums, wildlife rehabilitation facilities and with animal trainers so I have good background knowledge surrounding a large variety of animal care. By trade I am a biologist with a focus in the marine sciences. As a full-time field biologist, the field part of my job doesn’t allow me time to have pets of my own. So between field jobs I greatly enjoy the opportunity to pet sit since I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet! I feel that pet sitting is a great way to get some animal time in while also helping out. I am very attentive, caring, trustworthy, and dedicated. Every home has a routine and flow all its own, one of the most important things a sitter can do is maintain that rythem while the pet parent is away, and give lots of extra love too. Thank you for taking the time to review my information, I would be thrilled to speak with you about how we can work together to meet you and your pets needs.

About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little and I loved to care for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.

About: I have experience working with animals as a kennel tech at a vet hospital. I’ve owned pets ever since I was little, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs. I work full time but am WFH flexible so I can stay at home all day whenever I like! I am free any day of the week! I live in an apartment but near enough to a park to walk around in often! I currently have one cat living with me who is dog friendly.
