Dog Walking Enchanted Hills

“Natalie is the BEST! And my pup, Rio LOVES her & the long walks she gives him!”

About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. (I am a fast learner and would love to care for animals outside of these as well!) I also have experience giving medication to pets. I do currently work part time (4 hour shifts) But will update my availability as often as possible! I work about 2-3 days a week. I will follow your instructions on how you care for your pet exactly. My goal is that your animals will feel the least amount of stress possible by sticking to their routine. I will treat your animals with the utmost love, care and respect. As I do my own. :)

“Luke has been fantastic with Bailey! He keeps me up to date on what's going on and has been flexible with my work schedule. Bailey is always excited to see him and sets a great pace on their walk to burn some of her energy off.”

“Brittany was very responsive and kept me up to date with my dogs walk. Since she couldn’t walk them very long because of the rain she stayed and played with them in the house! Will be using her again!”

About: Hi there, I'm Erika! A true dog lover at heart & someone who enjoys the outdoors just as much! I love going hiking with my furry friends or taking them on outings to some of Abq's nicest parks, ice cream joints, dog friendly stores & events, & much more. I enjoy keeping my friends active unless they're more of a couch potato, in which we could certainly cuddle up & watch Animal Planet or Paw Patrol all night. I grew up with several rescue dogs, from small to large, and breeds of all sorts. That jumpstarted my absolute love for dogs & gave me the opportunity to learn the responsibility of caring for them at a young age. I've spent a lot of time fostering dogs, from puppies to seniors & the shy timid ones that just need a little extra time to warm up. I'm a big lover of the working breeds & understand the special kind that they are. I worked at an Animal Hospital for a period of time & spent some time learning from a professional dog trainer, which gave me more insight on dog cues & behaviors. With that said, safety is always my number one priority! I always take extra time to make sure everyone is secured before leaving the home, or that each pup has their own safe space when left alone. Do you have a pup that needs some extra tlc or has medical conditions that require an extra clean up, no problem at all! Regardless, I love anything with fur & paws & I treat all dogs with the love & care just as they are my own. I have flexibility in my schedule & tend to come & go a lot. This allows me to stay on top of potty breaks & schedules as needed. I work part-time & there are a few days a week in which I'm required to go in for a bit. Though, my hours aren't standard, so I have the opportunity to spend mornings & evenings having fun & loving on your pup. Safety & comfort are always my #1 priority! Dogs will always keep their collars/id tags on during the day, leashes/harnesses will be double checked, gates/doors stay locked. Dogs will be separated while eating & anytime they're not under supervision. They have the opportunity to go inside/outside as much as they like, however, someone always has eyes on them. We also have a couple of cameras that we use to check in on your pup while we're away for a period of time. Dogs are encouraged to get comfy wherever they like-up on our couch, the bed, or any of the orthopedic dog beds. If they're snugglers at night, we have room for them! We like to keep cooler temps or fans running to keep the longer coated pups relaxed. We want all of our furriends to be as comfortable as possible! Sending daily updates & pictures/videos are very important to me, so you can expect that. If I have a question about something, I'm never afraid to reach out & ask. I encourage pawents to message me anytime or check in as much as they wish, as I always want to make everyone feel at ease. While your pup is under my care, I can keep them on a schedule or let them call the shots-you tell me! Rest assured, their paws are in good hands!

About: I give your pets attention and affection, keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I send pictures most days to assure you all is well. My services include house-sitting, so your pets stay home where they’re comfortable. I have decades of experience with a variety of breeds. Let’s talk about what worries you and we’ll find a solution everyone is happy with! I’d prefer to visit your pets before securing the booking, to make sure we all get along. I am self employed and pet care is one of the ways I earn my living. I also work remotely for some of my clients and use the wi-fi to get tasks done. I have been house/pet sitting for decades. I treat your home as if I was a welcome guest, but not a part of the household. Over the years, I’ve had jobs where I was bonded for security, which means I have a clean record. I’ve been entrusted with confidential & proprietary information. I’ve adhered to HIPAA rules without breaking a sweat. I am trustworthy and friendly. I have a silly sense of humor and have skewed streaming algorithms with binging scifi. I’ve lived in the extremes of rural to urban environments. I can greet & thank people in ten languages. My idea of a party is a bowl of ice cream and a movie (sci-fi, British drama). Before we book anything, I’d like to stop by the house and give the critter(s) a chance to get a good look/smell of me and you can give me the lay of the land. Housesitting: I’m being hired to keep the critter(s) company, and that’s what I do. Nana comes to visit and keeping the house safe and the animal(s) safe and happy is my primary duty. My habit is to bring my own supplies, so when you get home, everything is how you left it. I have a ukulele and I sing familiar covers, so I’ll mention it now in case the neighbors mention something about it. (I have yet to have a dog howl as I sang, though the huskies were very talkative.) Drop-In: Depending on our discussion during the Meet & Greet, I will swing by your house according to the schedule we’ve set up. I will make sure the water is fresh and the food bowl has plenty of food. (My job is to make sure the animal(s) know they are being cared for and that they don’t have to stress about whether or not they will starve to death - I’m thinking of cats especially here who see the bottom of the food bowl and start to panic. Not on my watch!) Walk: I’ll be at your house at the time(s) we’ve discussed, put on the collar and leash, and set out on the adventure. My habit is to sing as I walk so that any other critter has a chance to get out of sight - a lesson learned by startling a skunk. It is important that I know if the neighborhood is friendly or if folks keep to themselves. Do(es) the dog(s) visit friends on the trail? or should I keep them on their own?

About: I provide loving, reliable, and personalized care for cats and dogs in the Rio Rancho area. I have more than 40 years of experience caring for cats and many years of experience caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. I offer drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, extended stays, feeding, litter box care, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and animals who need a little extra patience, reassurance, or attention. Because I work remotely, I may also be able to stay in your home during the day for pets who do best with extra company. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. We can work out a schedule and coordinate activities to fit into a daily or weekly routine. Contact me, and we can set up a meeting. I don’t do in home cat or dog care for pets anymore at this time. Safety and trust are my top priority in the clients home

About: I have given dogs medicine and have experience with taking extra care of old dogs and puppies whose energy is off the roof. I have one huge dog so I’m also not afraid of pit bulls or mastiff’s and am able to fulfill any requests you have. I also have severe dyslexia so sometimes I may misread texts so please excuse any mistakes I make in reading or spelling. I have just started summer and go to unm as a art student so I am constantly having free time especially during the summer as my only plans are on Tuesday for counseling and Sunday’s for church. So I have a completely free week Everytime I go to a house I make sure to clean up after myself and to clean up extra just so when you come back it’s even cleaner than you lef!

About: Cats tend to trust me because I approach them with a calm, gentle spirit and allow them to connect with me at their own pace. I don’t force affection or treat their care like a checklist—I pay attention to their personality, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. My years of experience have taught me how to recognize when something may be wrong and how to respond calmly and responsibly. I take following instructions, maintaining routines, securing the home, and keeping owners informed very seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love cats and care deeply about their well-being. Every cat in my care will be treated with the same patience, protection, and compassion. I’m available most days and weekends. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Connect with me so we can discuss a schedule that works best for you. I primarily provide pet sitting in my clients’ homes, where cats can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, medication, litter-box care, playtime, companionship, and any special needs. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident that their cats and homes are being well cared for. References from previous in-home pet-sitting clients are available upon request. I generally do not care for cats in my own home, but I may consider special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. My home has multiple levels, no children, and a securely fenced backyard. I provide grooming services for cats only and on a case by case basis. I do no clip nails. I have years of experience bathing and properly cleaning cats, both my own and strays. I can provide the service for a small fee.

About: I have past experience in administering medicine including insulin and pills, as well as cleaning litter boxes, picking up dog poop, and feeding bearded dragons. I'm a college student working at a restaurant, but I am available throughout the day between school and work, and at nights. Overall pet sitting fits into my schedule just as well as any average person. I have a cat in my home who is vaccinated and well cared for, so if a pet is coming to my home it must be OK around cats, my cat is also used to dogs and other animals, although I would prefer to watch animals at their house. I care for them by feeding them according to their schedule, always providing fresh water, and taking them on any necessary walks, or runs, and of course cleaning up the poop or puke that occurs.
