“Joy went above and beyond while looking after Kitty for two weeks. She made sure my cat was comfortable, healthy and loved. Great communication with lots of pictures and laughter. Joy has a very interesting way of life, avid about health, care and nutrition.”
About: With a mother who works as a vet tech and a household full of elderly dogs, I’ve learned to spot subtle changes in behavior, administer medications with care, and handle everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of a blind senior dog. I’ve been pet sitting since high school, caring for cats, dogs, horses, and farm animals—and I treat every animal like the innocent soul they are. As a mom of five, I’m no stranger to messes, and I genuinely don’t mind the less glamorous parts of pet care—poop scooping, litter box cleaning, or giving meds. I believe animals are family, and I show up with patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing spirit every time. Whether your pet is playful, shy, aging, or in need of extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of flexibility in my schedule during the week, so most of the time I can attend to your pet with very short notice and flexible hours. While weekends are typically reserved for family time, I may be able to make exceptions with a little more advanced notice than what I would need on weekdays. I have no barriers to early morning check-ins. I care for pets in their homes, acknowledging that it is their space and not mine and as a homeowner myself, I will treat your property with the upmost respect. I will use any information you share with me about your pet’s likes and dislikes and dos/don’ts in regard to your home space to make sure that your animal is comfortable and given consistency that matches their regular routine.
“Misty stayed at our house, taking care of our two cats and did a great job!! Our cats are very skittish, and do not really like strangers, but Misty did everything she could to socialize with the cats and make them comfortable. By the end of the stay, I believe the cats were not as afraid, and started warming up to her, which is a big accomplishment! She sent pictures and updates daily, and assured us that things were going well. She kindly agreed to feed and water the wild birds and rabbits, and even sent pictures of them. The house was immaculate upon our return, and we knew that the cats were safe and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Misty, and look forward to having her house sit in the future!!”
“We are beyond grateful for the amazing training our dogs received. Erich is very knowledgeable, had incredible patience with our dogs and myself, while being professional and friendly. They responded very well to his training. You can see he genuinely loves what he does and cares about a well trained and happy dog. Highly recommend Erich E. Thank you!”
About: I've raised 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a flock of chickens over the last 15 years, and have also pet sat for friends and family extensively. My husband and I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats in our family, and two of the pups are certified therapy dogs whom we take to a memory care facility to visit the residents every other week. Before starting therapy dog work, I volunteered at the local animal shelter as a dog walker for 12 years, giving me a wide breath of experience with different dog breeds and personalities. I have a soft spot in my heart for pitties because they're such cuddle bugs, but have grown to love all types of dogs, from crazy energetic border collies to lazy couch potatoes to little grumpy old men. My husband and I adopted a 14 year old pup from the shelter to give him a retirement home, so I also have experience with the extra care that our senior citizens need. Besides the typical cats and dogs, I'd be happy to take care of any other critters you have, from little rodentia like hamsters and guinea pigs to outdoor livestock like chickens and goats. For me - as for you - pets are truly family members, and I look forward to meeting your family and taking the best care of them while you're off on your adventures. I am currently transitioning from a two-decade-long career in engineering science research to pursuing a dream to start a farmstead. As I get my farm off the ground, I have ample time to share my love of animals with your family. My schedule is completely flexible, so I am able to adapt to what you need and what works best for your critters - whether it is dropping in once or twice a day to feed, love, and play with everyone, taking the pups on a mid-day walk, or staying overnight if they need extra care. If you require a specialized arrangement, let me know, and I can make it happen! In my personal experience, many dogs and most cats are more comfortable in their own environment, so I would prefer to come to you and take care of everyone in your home; however, if you'd prefer to board your pups with me, let's talk about options. When I come to you for a drop-in visit, I will spend a minimum of 30-60 minutes feeding everyone, playing in your house or fenced in yard, and giving lots of love. For dog-walk visits, we'll go for a 30-60 minute walk around the neighborhood; if you have more than two dogs, we'll go in rounds of 1-2 dogs per walk. If you'll be gone for an extended trip and/or your animals need some extra attention, I can stay at your house overnight. In addition to the primary responsibility of caring for the animals, I am also willing to do any other little chores you need taken care of, such as watering plants and feeding the fish. I'm very flexible and will work with you to ensure everyone gets the care they need. No matter which approach we take, I'll send you regular text updates and plenty of pictures, and will always be available by phone if something comes up.
About: My name is Juliette Conzuelo, I been working with animals for 10 years now. Now being around other peoples fur babies is my part time job that I enjoy soo much. I will give full care and love toward the animals you hold dear to your heart and treat them as my own giving them their space and patience to letting them to get to know me. I make sure to play and walk animals and that they are promptly fed during their accustomed feeding hours and make sure any medicine is taken when needed. I always make sure water bowls are filled. I have six babies of my own, four dogs and two cats and I am fortunate that my little babies have uplifted my spirits on bad days and in return I like to give them the joy of just being outside for a hike or go backpacking, playing or cuddles! I can do housesits from San Felipe to any where near by Jemez, Santa Ana, Bernalillo, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Albuquerque. For check ins and dog walks I prefer to be close to home from San Felipe to anything in between Rio Rancho.I do check ins at 10am - 6pm. Dog walks are also from 10am-6pm. I will not do any boarding or pet care at my own home. I have too many animals, would not want to overwhelm any animals.
“Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!”
About: Ive been watching my family’s and friends animals for years now. With the responsibility of feeding them, giving them water, and playing with them when needed.

“Madeline takes great care of our cats. She is great about communicating and taking care of the cats while we are gone. They always seem well adjusted to our absence when Madeline takes care of them. Highly recommend!!! Thank you!!! *****”
“Shelly was great. Communicated well, sent lots of pictures, and I truly believe she liked our cats (which makes me feel good). I don’t hesitate at all to recommend her and plan to call her the next time we need someone.”
About: I got my first dog when I was 12 years old and have had pets every since! I've had everything from dogs to fish! We even had a scorpion when I was little. I'm a stay at home mom dog to my Great Dane! I make sure he is always well stimulated with toys play time and walks! I even go on doggy play dates! I care for all pets as my if they were my own kid. Strays included! I'm known in my family as the crazy animal lady..
About: I’ve been taking care of pets, both my own and my family members, for 8 years. I was 10 years old when I got my first dog and he is the most calm natured and loving dog I’ve ever met. My family members regularly ask me to pet sit for them when they are busy or go out of town. I’m a high school senior and I need to raise money to afford college tuition. I get out of school at 1:30 every day and am free on weekends so I will almost always have time to care for your little babies :) I have a 1.5 acre fenced in yard so any pets will have lots of space to run and play. If they are allowed, I’ll give them treats. We have many toys for cats and dogs so they will always have something to entertain them.
About: I have 24 years of experience taking care of animals. Most of it personal. I do have almost 3 years of professional pet care. I currently work at a grooming assistant/groomer. I am trained in administration of all sorts of medications including administration of insulin. Best number to reach me will be the 505 number. I no longer have the 972 area code in service and I can't remove it for some reason. I am currently a grooming assistant/groomer and currently working friday-tuesday from 9:30-5:30. Occasionally days tend to get canceled, run longer, or even shorter. Most of the times it depends on how the pet does and how many pets there are in a day. For the safety of your pets I would recommend I stay at your home as one of my dogs can be aggressive/reactive with new dogs. Should there be no other options my dog is kennel trained and can be in his kennel and alternate turns getting attention and going outside. I have a fenced backyard but will take pet on leashed walks around the neighborhood or have supervised playtime in the yard.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 12… from dogs, to cats, to horses. I volunteered for a no kill animal shelter as a teenager where I cared for, exercised, and assisted in adoption efforts. I’m relied on by neighbors and friends to walk and care for their animals and look forward to caring for yours. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me plenty of time to care for your animals. I enjoy walking and hiking in the mountains with my dogs and look forward to incorporating yours. I have a fenced yard with 2.5 acres of land. I have a section fenced off in the backyard for smaller animals. I have two friendly dogs for your animals to play with.
About: I’ve always connected with animals and have a deep sense of understand them. I’ve always been great at training them from a young age. I’ve always had dogs from the time that I got my own place which was when I was 18. My job is flexible, I work full time but can adjust my schedule as needed. I am able to take care of your pups from your home, do check ins or walks as needed. My dog has a high fence outside is able to go in and out as needed through doggy door. There is someone always home as well to keep company. If I take your pups with me they would also have the same access, with walks, a crate is also an option
