“Stella has done such a great job taking care of my puppy while I'm away at work. I feel so much better being gone, knowing that May is in great hands!”

“Greg is amazing! He was able to help us out last minute and our Kenzie loved him. He spent time with both my cat and dog and gave them cuddles and attention when we were away. Highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve had my own animals and helped care for family and friend’s animals since I was young. (30+ years!) I am a runner/walker for more active animals but also love snuggles or calm indoor play. I’m comfortable with all ages of cats, dogs, chickens, guinea pigs, and more! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule and prioritize getting outside daily, so I’d be happy to bring your dog along for my walks or make time for indoor play as well! I like to send photos and updates to pet parents to let you know your fur babies are being well-loved. I have a reliable vehicle for bringing them to a park or larger space if needed.

“Can’t possibly recommend enough.”

“Marcus was amazing with our 3 dogs. We have a 90lbs German Shepard, 30lb medium dog and a small 15lb dog and he handled each so well. He is friendly, kind and very knowledgable. He treats our animals as if they were his own and they loved him!”

Barbara B.

“I had a wonderful experience with Jennifer over the past five days. She was consistently on time for every check‑in, and the care she provided for Apollo was exceptional. She listened closely to my concerns and showed genuine compassion toward my dog. I highly recommend her and rate her 5 stars.”

“Ethanee was great with my cat! Was super responsive & such a relief to know he was in good hands :) Will be booking again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 5 years. I have experience with all ages. Such as, giving medication, going on walks and bathing. I’ve also taken care a variety of other animals such as chickens, horses, goats etc. I love this job! I’ve always been connected with animals. I hope to see you soon with your furry friend! On weekdays (Monday through Friday), I balance school with pet care and am fully available for drop-ins, walks, and evening care after 3:30 PM. My weekends are dedicated to full-time pet care. I am completely open on Saturdays and very flexible on Sundays. I maintain a consistent schedule, I am able to provide attentive care, daily updates, and plenty of quality time for your pets. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a secure, fun, and comfortable environment. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard for safe playtime and exercise, as well as a friendly female dog to keep your pups company. I am fully prepared with plenty of toys, treats, and crate accommodations. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strictly follow their established daily routine to keep them feeling safe, calm, and comfortable. Whether it's active play, neighborhood walks, or patient attention for pets that need extra time to warm up. I adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs. Above all, I prioritize open communication, safety, and flexible care to give pet parents total peace of mind.

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

“Madelynne was very attentive and communicative with our two cats, especially Petra who is a little bit more of a handful. She didn’t shy away from handling Petra and her unique situation, and even called us to ensure everything was handled correctly. Then they were all best friends by the end of the visit!”

Christopher O.

“Savannah was kind, polite and followed all my instructions. My dog loved her right away, despite usually being shy with new people. It's obvious from the photos she sent that my pup was so well loved and cared for during her visits. I would definitely book her again!”

Emily J.

“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. To ensure the safety of both pets and myself, I require a meet and greet before accepting new clients and may decline bookings if I don’t feel I’m the right fit for a pet’s specific behavioral needs.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified

“This is the second time we've had Tessa watch our cat, Maxine. Tessa is dependable, communicates well, and is someone we will continue to trust to take care of Maxine.”

“Hi Hossanna, Watched my pups and did a great job. Showed up for the drop-in visits, took pics of the dogs, fed them and even checked my mail. I would re-book with Hossanna again. Thanks!”

About: I'm an avid thru-hiker who completed the 2,192-mile Appalachian Trail, and a lifelong dog lover. I'm active every day with hiking, walking, and yoga, so your dog will never be under-exercised. I currently feed and care for six semi-feral backyard cats, so I'm comfortable with animals of all temperaments. Reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet's routine exactly. I've also hiked Spain's Camino del Norte and run a small hiking YouTube channel (Dundee Hikes). I am retired, my days are flexible and built around staying active — morning yoga, daily walks or hikes, and plenty of time at home. Pet care fits naturally into that: I'm around most of the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and company, and I can adapt to your pet's existing routine. I will take clear and concise notes and follow your pet's routine exactly. I will care for them like they are my own and be respectful of your property.

About: Woof! Meow! Hello, my name is Al and I hope to soon meet you and your pet. My background in animal care began in high school when I was a dog sitter for local families during the summer while they were on vacation, and from there my passion grew! I am personable and calm, equipped to support each animal's unique needs, and thorough in my care and attentiveness. I am a proud parent to two cats and a senior rabbit at this time, and until I can bring a dog into the bunch I like to spend my time looking after yours with the same love and dedication. No matter how small or large, shy or outspoken, all pets welcome! This fall, I have very open availability while I acclimate to the surrounding area after a cross country move. I am aspiring to be open for requests in many different neighborhoods and different types of animals to get to better know the landscape. I am a non-smoker. I am respectful of house rules and ways of doing things and will defer to your instruction, while also leaning on my expertise in times where flexibility is needed. Adept to behavioral quirks, I take supporting your training protocols seriously and will always ask at first meetings what your animal is receptive to and how to respond when changes in their routine emerge. Especially experienced with separation anxiety, I am diligent in ensuring as I build trust with you I am also building trust with your pet and communicating with you throughout the sit.

“As always, Joel did an awesome job taking care of our cat, Nala, while we were away recently on am extended vacation. We came home to a happy, healthy kitty, and it gave us such peace of mind while we were away, knowing that she was in good hands!”
