About: I'll take your dog out for some fun and enriching exercise while peacefully training them to calmly follow along at your side with no pulling, whining, or reacting! I am a dog trainer, field biologist, and academic coach driven to lead people towards a mutually fulfilling life with their dogs, and to share my knowledge and wonder of nature to promote stewardship and love for all sentient beings. I have cared for family pets (cats, dogs, fish, rodents, rabbits, etc) throughout my life, and I have performed extensive animal husbandry during my PhD in Animal Behavior and Ecology (I have even trained and rehabbed hummingbirds!). I began formally dog walking and training in January 2025 and have helped each of my clients transform their relationships with their dogs by learning how to efficiently and peacefully communicate. I hope to: 1) refresh your dog's basic obedience and floppy leash walking skills; 2) help you be aware of your dog's body language, and your own habits; and 3) empower you to become the leader your dog needs! I am happy to offer free nail checks and trimming! 1% of all proceeds will go to Blackhat Humane Society, a Navajo Nation rescue/ foster organization where I adopted my service dog Louie from! I am currently based in Albuquerque, and I have a very flexible work and life schedule, so I can likely accommodate requests for walks at any time and frequency! I have an extensive experience house and pet (and plant!) sitting for family and friends, and I always treat clients' dogs and homes with utmost respect. I am currently unable to host pets in my home.
“My 2 dogs loved Abigail immediately; her calm and grounded energy was great for both the fur babies and this nervous mama. It was my first time using Rover and Abigail made it a smooth and easy experience. Her friendly yet professional demeanor was appreciated.”
“Lisa was a reliable pet sitter. We enjoyed her detailed descriptions of her visits with our dogs. Both our dogs are happy with their experience too! ?”
“Misty was great with my two dogs! We will hire her again for sure! Not only is she a great person, she's great with animals and is very professional and friendly. My husband and I trust her with our fur babies and our home!”
About: I absolutely love animals. I currently have 3 of my own, two dogs and a cat. I grew working with my mom in shelter and rescues. I love meeting new animals and forming relationships. I will go above and beyond in animal care and ensure your animals are happy and well taken care off. I am currently doing college online so I have tons of time to spend with your animals. I am willing to do it all when it comes to what your animals need! My animals come first I do everything for them and to ensure they have a good life. I will make sure to give your animals the love they would revive when your home and care for them like they are my own
“This review is quite delayed as I am still learning the Rover program. Rita was my pet sitter previous to my current one. She was amazing. She took care of my dog as though she was her own, kept me updated and took so many great pictures. I was so sad that she moved but hope she has continued to provide this care where she moved to.”
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.
“Nathan was a great with drop-in visits for our dogs and cat while we were away. He took really well to the adverse personalities of our dogs when first meeting them so it made me feel comfortable with the visits.”
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.

“We have a 2.5 year old Husky-Australian Cattle Dog mix with more energy than she knows what to do with. While she is a smart, gentle, happy, and kind pup, she definitely has a hard time on walks… she goes into sled pulling mode. We’ve struggled with it for about a year and a half and kid you not - in 2 sessions with Erich, she suddenly knew how to stick by our side. He was patient with our dog and he taught us the skills and tactics to keep her by our side on walks so that she listens and obeys us, even when Erich isn’t there. We’re very grateful for Erich’s help and have talked about how we think he might be a dog whisperer!! Highly recommend working with Erich!”
