“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: 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. I have to take care of my cat and dog daily and I often watch my neighbors dogs, cats and horses for them while they travel. I always make sure I take care of the animals according to the owners instructions, or to take care of their house as they ask.
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: 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.
