“Stasia took great care of our dogs and our home while we were away! The house looked exactly as we left it when we returned. She was great at communication before and while we were gone as well. We have 3 GSPs and they seemed very well cared for by her.”


“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: Dogs are my great addiction. I've owned dogs and walked and trained them all my life, but until I settle into my next job, I can't have a dog of my own again, so I'm petsitting and walking dogs for extra “dog time.” I have trained dogs for decades and now I also walk dogs at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. in the past, I assisted a vets, once in the mobile spay/neuter clinic in the Navajo Nation, and in a few other instances with wildlife rehab and injured animals. I kept all my own dogs into old age and love senior dogs. With my family I raised 2 litters of Shepherd puppies, and Ive fostered mothers and puppies at my home. I work part-time and online, and can fit my schedule around your dog, cat or housesitting needs. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors in any weather so you never have to worry that your pet's schedule will be interrupted. Your home is as important to me as your animal family and both will receive loving care and attention from me. I've cared for many homes in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado and have excellent references from clients, neighbors and friends to share.

“We’ve had the pleasure of having Angel care for our dogs multiple times while we’ve traveled internationally, and each time has been exceptional. There is no better feeling than knowing your fur babies are in such capable and loving hands. Angel is incredibly attentive, professional, and reliable. Our animals absolutely adore her, and we always return to a peaceful home filled with happy pets, blooming flowers, and everything impeccably clean. Her communication is consistent and reassuring, and the love she shows our pets is evident in their calm demeanor when we return. We’re so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her highly enough.”


“These animals were so well cared for. We couldn’t ask for anyone better. Excellent communication, superb senior pet care to a doggo who needed something ever couple of hours, we have a new set of pics of everyone, and house was so clean upon arrival. Above and beyond, we are grateful.”

“Svetlana was amazing with our boys. She sent us updates everyday and was amazing with them. She did amazing administrating insulin to our dog Koda twice a day. Definitely going to book again!”


“The absolute best! Daniel took very good care of our very senior dog and left our house in perfect condition. We will definitely be booking with him the next time we need a house+dog sitter.”


“Susana was great, filling in in last minute... She is great with my pup and cat and leaves the house very neat and tidy. I appreciate her so much and won't hesitate to ask her to stay again”


“Juliette is a gem. She took great care of Bailey and our home. She is personable, friendly and accommodating. We will definitely reach out to her if we need someone to watch Bailey again!”


“Dont really want to extole Laurie's work here because I want to keep her the best secret ever, but that wouldn't be fair. She's kind, smart, conscientious, flexible, my dogs LOVE her. She's great! The house was tidy and her communication was just right, not too much but enough to give me confidence that all was going well. I'm going to book her again any chance I get.”


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

“Cody kept Dog & Bob from missing us, too much, while we were gone. Doggies were happy and well contented when we got home to them. For two larger and excitable dogs it is much appreciated.”


About: I've been a pet ownee since the age of ten. (Seems like they own us rather than the other way around :-) I've had some great companions over the years including our current dog: Norah Bones. She's 13 and may be the happiest dog on the planet. She's at least in the top ten. There's usually been a cat or two in my house connected to my wife, kids or roommates that I care for as well. Friends have asked me to care, board and travel with their pets more often now that I'm semi-retired. And it seems I'm a pet-whisperer of sorts according to friends. Their pets have always bonded with me sooner than most people they know. I'm traveling often and around the country more now. Denver in July. May be in your area soon. My only concern is when I return home and my dog, Norah wants to know all about the new scents and who I've been seeing. Happy to work out details for your pet's care as needed. Morning and evening walks/outdoor pee breaks would be standard. I'm a retired math/science teacher and can learn any special care needs your pet requires. Also have friends in Atlanta that are well trained in pet care and vet tech services.

About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.

About: Allow me to love your pet as if it were my own! I have been a pet sitter for over ten years now and I have watched anything from cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, birds, ferrets, snakes to chickens and then some. I have also worked as professional dog walker for an extended period of time. I have experience with overnights. I have experience with drop in visits. I have experience with senior animals, medicine administration and round the clock care. I have volunteered in a professional vet facility and took four years of pre vet tech classes through out my high school career. My house is no longer pet free and I am unfortunately not able to host any new fuzzy friends. Thanks for stopping by and I cannot wait to meet you! I'm regularly available Wednesday thru Saturday and open to making exceptions if your needs fall outside my scheduled availability. We can work it all out! I always set up initial meet and greets to ensure we'll be a great fit. Additionally, I provide quick, respectful and open communication from start to finish.

Karen-Joyce G.
“I’m currently on my 19th house/petsit of this year. If I have any question at all about a dog I’m currently caring for I call Karen-Joyce. She’s got years of experience not only as an owner but as a trainer, walker, sitter, vet’s assistant and volunteer at the local humane society. When owners leave their pets in the care of others they want them not only to be fed and walked and played with, they want them to be loved. No one I know loves dogs (and all animals, really) more than Karen-Joyce. She is passionate. The fact that she will go to the local humane society to walk dogs when she has the time is that passion manifested. Who does that? Someone who absolutely loves dogs. If it’s important to you that your dog is LOVED while you’re away, this is your gal!”
