Svetlana was punctual and great with our dogs. I loved the updates and photos she sent during their walks. We appreciate having her nearby and potentially available even for last minute care or walks.

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

Madrid, NM, 87010

About: Hello, and thanks for viewing my profile! My name is Madeleine, and I'd love to be your next pet sitter. I live in Madrid and can help out in that area, but have no problem at all traveling to Santa Fe, Albuquerque, or farther for work. I have two sweet cats at home - Ain and Vega. They have been in my life for 7 wonderful years, since they were kittens. I've even taught them a few tricks - their favorite is "high-five"! I currently work various gig-style jobs while preparing to start work as an EMT in Santa Fe. I have truly always loved pets, and grew up with cats, dogs, and chickens. I've had cats as pets for most of my life. I lived in New Mexico for many years before leaving to explore other parts of the country. My transition back here involved two back-to-back months-long cat/house-sitting arrangements, so I'm extremely well-practiced and my skills are very current. I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! I'm working various part-time jobs, but pets always take priority. I can schedule other jobs around the hours that you and your pets will need my attention. I keep my cats mostly indoors, since I live in a more rural area. We do get out and explore on harnesses and leashes from time-to-time. I am willing to look after strictly indoor, outdoor, or indoor/outdoor pets of all kinds.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of my senior dog for four years before she passed away. This includes feeding, bathing, brushing, meeting her potty needs and walking. I also pet sit for two dogs when their owner is out of town. I work for a restaurant during the morning or afternoon shift for roughly 6 hours. I can work in between those times and I only have one shift a day. (Some days are completely open!) I am very good about respecting spaces and following directions. I usually walk dogs twice a day around the neighborhood; however, I will follow whatever directions are given. I love giving attention to pets, especially dogs that need some extra care. Adopting my dog as a senior gave me a special love for all senior dogs!

About: I am a former zookeeper and I have a couple of years experience in veternary care. I’ve had animals of all kinds my entire life. I live with my husband and we both love spending time with animals. I work for the film industry and would love to pet sit your pet while I’m in between jobs. Productions have slowed down a lot over the past few years, so I have time currently. I have a larger fenced in yard that can actually be divided into 2 separate yards. Pets are allowed on our furniture and encouraged to sleep in the bedroom with us at night.

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.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, from Yorkies to German Shepherds. Providing the love and care to other dogs while you’re away is my priority! To give you the peace of mind your fur baby is both physically and mentally stimulated during our time together. I am very active, love going on hikes and finding new parks in the area! I am in the end of my surgical residency making my schedule relatively flexible. While I am unable to have a dog of my own full time, I can care and love for others in the mean time! While I do live in an apartment, there is a park with walking trails right across the street that I walk daily. Staying active is an essential part of my life!
