“Elthea and Josh provided a safe and welcoming home-away-from-home and I would not hesitate to ask them to board our dogs again They spoiled and treated them like family. The pictures, captions and updates were much appreciated. Thank you!”


“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”


“Jess and her daughter were awesome and our doggo had such a great time with them and their doggo!! Definitely if we're out in Los Alamos again would use them! Definitely recommended them to our family who lives out here!!”


“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”


“Rachel did a superb job taking care of our 15 month old pup for two weeks! She went above and beyond making sure that Rio was comfortable, entertained and safe. She provided ample pics and updates. She even did puppy “artwork” with her, which we got to keep. I was amazed at this level of care, which allowed me to not worry a bit. Priceless.”


“Genevieve was a lifesaver during our family trip from austin to Santa Fe. Our 1yr old mini golden doodle hasn’t been neutered so none of the daycares would take him. We found Genevieve on Rover same day & she was able & willing to take Charley for the day. He had a totally blast with her 2 labs on her 1 acre backyard in Tesuque! We’re scheduling with her again this trip & Will for future trips! Highly recommended- she loves dogs!”


“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”



“This was Maggie’s second stay with Tami. She was extremely well cared for. Tami was great with daily updates and pictures, she really takes her work seriously and will let you know about any hiccups or if she should be doing something differently with your dog. Great attention to detail I will continue to use her!”



“We LOVE Sue! Our two Westies are always so excited to go see Sue! Sue has cared for our babies for many extended stays and gives them such good care! We always miss them, but never worry about them when they are with Sue. She is the best in Santa Fe!”


“She absolutely SAVED us when we had a last minute sitter cancellation due to some weather at home. She was able to accommodate us so quickly with zero issues. The dogs loved it there! Very satisfied! Highly highly reccomend.”


“Gavin is such a fun guy who took great care of my dog! He has a big yard that was perfect for my Aussie. Gavin sent lots of cute photos of his dog and mine playing together and passing out afterwards. Bear (my dog) was in great hands. Gavin communicated often and I never felt in the dark about how my pup was doing. I highly recommend him and will continue to leave Bear with him in the future.”

“Admittedly, I was a bit nervous to leave my quirky tripod at anyone’s house. Mylene is my queen but she is anxious, nervous and can be slow to warm up. Michelle and her family were the perfect fit for Mylene. It was so nice to not have to worry about Mylene while on vacation. I could tell that Mylene received a ton of attention on Mylene’s terms, exercise and clear/consistent direction from Michelle. This is why her stay went smoothly and she didn’t destroy anything due to not being stressed and she was able play with 2 other dogs. Michelle was very communicate and timely with responses which made securing this rover stay, drop off and pick up extremely easy. I am so grateful, I chose Michelle to watch my girl for this long stay.”

“Athena and Jordan, Thank you so much for taking such good care of Harlee! She came home happy and she’s says Thank you too. ! We will definitely keep you in mind for the next time we need a dog sitter!”


“Chase was great with our little cockapoo for a week. Thank you!!!”


“Very communicative throughout. And my dog loved her from the first moment. Joy is very gentle and loving. It gave me peace of mind to know she had senior dog experience. And the fact that she works from home was a bonus for a dog that loves companionship!”


“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”


“Heidi was awesome! She has a great yard for the dogs to hang out in and provided frequent updates. I would definitely use her services again.”


“We are incredibly grateful to Katie for the love and care our pup Miles received on a recent weeklong stay with her. From our first Meet and Greet with her, we knew that she knows dogs and has a wealth of experience and knowledge to help Miles thrive. She is a dog expert with a big heart. We will definitely use her services again!”


“This is the 3rd time Tut has been with Melinda. He is a senior dog and she handles his special needs very well. She always does a super job with him. Thanks Melinda.”
