House Sitting in Espanola

“Heather sent photos and videos and kept us updated on everything. Even brought in a 40 lb bag of dog food that was delivered early! Looking forward to having her watch our pack again!”

“Wonderful experience. Marissa and her son are very responsive and communicative, have a great deal of experience and clearly love working with animals. Marissa’s experience as a vet tech brings a lot of comfort as someone who has an older dog.”

About: I am a nature and animal enthusiast. I began caring for animals in high school giving me 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. From house sitting, dog walking to administering medications, I have had the opportunity to care for so many different animals. I have taken care of pets in the comfort of their own home which always seems like the most stress-free option. I love to take pictures of sweet squishy faces. I am available most of the day/night to care for your pets in your home to best meet the needs of both the owner and pet. I have one dog (Banjo) who will be cared for by my husband so I can focus on your pets. With my background in veterinary clinics, safety is my number one priority. I make sure pets are safe in the home, that they are maintained on a secure leash during walks, avoid encounters with other dogs/animals during walks, I check to make sure there is no access to items that could harm them, and pay attention to overall general health. I believe for the most part the safest environment for a pet is in their own home where they are comfortable.

“Steven was wonderful! He took the time to meet and ask all about Stella’s little quirks prior to me leaving.. and provided me all the updates when I was gone. I came back to a very happy pup!!”

“Dawn was great! She has a great space for dogs and clearly has a lot of experience. We felt comfortable that she was taking great care of our girls. We got regular updates and photos throughout their stay. Definitely recommend!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also volunteered for two years at the Santa Fe Humane Society, where I gained experience working with a variety of dogs and learned how to stay patient, attentive, and calm in different situations. I’m reliable, caring, and focused on making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special routines their pet is used to. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12. I grew up with cats and dogs and used to pet sit regularly for family and friends, including a husky puppy and eldery great danes. I love taking dogs on long walks/hikes and also cuddling! I work seasonally and don't start my job until May, so I'm very available! I do part-time tutoring as well but I'm generally free. Just message and ask! I'm very adaptable to different homes and can take care of your pet however you need! I respect boundaries and follow instructions to make sure the pet is safe and comfortable.

“My whole experience with Mona from start to finish was excellent. She came to my home for a meet and greet right away. She is friendly, smart, efficient, kind, and respectful. She had a good sense of humor about dealing with the four spoiled cats. She called it “herding cats”. She took perfect care of my home, and even brought her own sheets and towels! I have already booked her for another stay in July. I give Mona an A++++!”

“Vivienne was very accommodating, responsive, responsible and capable taking care of Holly. Huskies can be a handful and Vivienne handled everything dog-gone well. We would highly recommend her based upon our experience.”

Dan P.

“James was polite and professional, and took good care of my two dogs on a Friday night with very little notice. I would hire him again and highly recommend him for drop-ins or walks.”

“Karen-Joyce did a wonderful job pet sitting for us on a long weekend trip! She was very detailed in learning about our needs beforehand, and very communicative. It's easy to tell how great she is with dogs. While this was our first time using Karen-Joyce as a sitter, we immediately felt confident after our meet & greet and had no hesitations. She left our house clean and the dogs were happy and well cared for! Definitely recommend :)”

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.

“Chase was fabulous. He took great care of our dog and home, and sent us so many wonderful photos. Having a dog sitter hasn't always been easy for our dog but Chase made it effortless. We will definitely utilize his services again. Peace of mind is priceless. Many thanks!”

About: I provide attentive, loving care and treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and very observant, which helps me quickly pick up on each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and crate training, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, slower walks, medications, or special diets. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent schedules, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of attention. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I’m flexible with walks, medications, and special care needs. My routine is calm and structured, making it especially ideal for puppies who need consistency and for senior dogs who benefit from a relaxed, attentive environment. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a calm, safe environment, regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow any training rules, dietary needs, and medication schedules closely. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving affection and companionship. I also make sure the home is respected—bringing in mail, cleaning up after pets, and keeping everything tidy. I always provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.

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.

“Mel was great! Punctual, communicated well and took excellent care of Birdie and my home while I was out of town for a couple days. Would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter!”

“We were so happy to have Tara staying with our two cats. They were very happy and healthy when we got home, and Tara sent updates and adorable pictures every day. The house was also clean and well-taken-care of when we returned. She even left us with framed photos of each of them! Looking forward to having her stay again. Thanks!”

About: Weekend boarding, weekday walks and weekday visits are what I have to offer. Cuddling, petting, belly rubs, hiking, whatever your doggie needs I’m happy to supply the love. I love animals and am a vegetarian- that stated, I have no problem feeding doggies raw meals or whatever diet you prefer. I’m very patient and kind. Your dog will have a safe and happy environment here with me. We can do a meet/greet first to make sure we’re a good fit. Thank you. All my best. When I take on a doggie, dog care is my sole focus. I do not take other jobs. I'm all about focusing on dogs when they are in my care. My home is fenced. We have a doggie door. The dogs are welcome on my bed and furniture. Loving on dogs is what I'm all about.

“Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!”

Jocelyn J.

“Jean-Philippe provided great in-house care for our two dogs (senior dog and rambunctious 11 month puppy) and five cats while we were gone for a week. His constant presence in the house clearly kept the pets reassured, and they all were relaxed when we got home, unlike many previous trips where we just pet sitters stopping by. Jean-Philippe left our house very clean and we could hardly tell he'd been there!”
