“I am so lucky to have found Marissa! I am the definition of an overprotective dog mom and so when my dog Gino had bilateral knee surgery I was terrified at the thought of leaving him to go back to work. He still had staples in his incisions and needed help to get out to go to the bathroom. Marissa came to stay with him and managed his pain and sedation meds so that I was able to work without having to worry about how he was doing. He is an anxious dog to begin with and he took to her almost immediately! Marissa sent pics so that I knew everything was going well which was huge for my sanity! And, on top of all of that, she was able to keep my other dog Zeke who has endless energy entertained while his brother was on bed rest. She helped make something that was highly stressful for both myself and Gino run smoothly and I can't thank her enough!!”
“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.
About: What can I say, I love dogs!!! Iv'e been around dogs my whole life, beginning with my Husky that loved chaperoning me around our backyard when I was a baby. I'm very grateful to have the experience with a dog since youth! I was raised around other animals too, bunnies, mice, and hamsters. Lol but I bond especially well with dogs. I hope to make new memories with your pet if you choose me! I am flexible and willing to work around your dogs schedule and my own. We can work something out to meet both our needs of course. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can be available overnights if needed if you are going away on a trip.
“Danielle took excellent care of Zelda and our house while we were gone. She followed instructions perfectly and spent lots of time with Zelda, walking her every day and playing her favorite game. Would definitely recommend Danielle and we plan to invite her back in the future!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 10. I’m a big dog lover and I’ve had three of my own at home and miss them dearly. I love to go on long walks or just play and chill. I’m a student but I’m basically free all week besides when I have class! I can also just hang out with your dog while I do homework. I have a front yard and a great space for taking dogs on a walk. I also have a room that fits a crate if that’s preferable!
“Jean-Philippe stayed with our three pets for almost three weeks. He was very attentive and was able to devote much of his time to our animals, which was necessary for our high energy puppy. Everyone was very happy when we arrived home and our house was left spotless.”
“My puppy was happy and calm upon my return. Lynn did a great job caring for my puppy. In addition, her cat caught a mouse at my house! Lynn and her team went above and beyond the call of duty. ❤❤❤”
“Hannah house/cat sat for us once again when we had an unplanned emergent trip. She was responsive to our request and accommodating even though it wasn’t the most convenient time for her. She is so very kind and conscientious that I feel at ease leaving my cat in her care. It’s a real gift! Thank you Hannah.”
About: Working at Chicago Dog Runner 24 years ago started my journey towards providing the most exceptional pet care. Since moving out of the city, I’ve expanded my sitting to include chickens, donkeys, ducks, and more! I’ve had lots of puppy and senior dog/cat experience as well. Also, I joined Therapaws Michigan almost 10 years ago, helping board and train therapy animals and it has been the absolute best experience. Being an EMT, I understand the importance of timely medication administration and can give injections as well as oral/topical medications. I take pride in communication and photo ops! Having special needs animals in my life, I take care in educating myself with pets behavioral and health concerns and am always open to any conversation and adjustments regarding your pet’s care. Working from home I have a very flexible schedule and can follow your pet routine as required. I’m able to adapt and change scheduling as needed. I have a reliable pet friendly vehicle with a ramp for senior pup access. I believe keeping your pet’s schedule consistent is important and helps keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Please share details about feeding and/or walking/potty times, I am happy to accommodate.
“Elena was a great dog/house sitter! She and Rosa bonded immediately, and honestly it seemed like Rosa was bummed when we returned from our trip. I think she hoped Elena would be here for another day. Elena kept the place in great shape and helped take care of our tree watering; in addition to walking and snuggling with Rosa.”
“Lis was a godsend for us. She's watched our babies three times now. We found her a week before we were heading out of town. We had just moved from AZ to NM and we didn't want to leave our animals in a strange home while we were away. Lis jumped at the chance to watch our 4 animals (2 cats and 2 dogs) and not to mention in a home that was filled with boxes and only an air mattress for her to use while she stayed overnight with our fur babies. But our first experiences with Lis don't speak volumes about the help she provided us when we had an emergency situation. With no notice, we needed Lis to stay with our animals for a couple of days. She immediately made room in her busy schedule to help us. If you're looking for a phenomenal, trustworthy pet sitter who truly treats your pets like they are hers - Lis is your perfect find. Thank you for everything you've done for us, Lis! I truly cannot begin to express how grateful I am for you.”
“Caroline was phenomenal with our two large dogs and with taking care of the house for the full week. Charlie and Stella were in such good hands with her. Caroline sent tons of pictures, and really bonded with them. I highly recommend Caroline!”
“Amanda was great with our dogs. She made us feel very comfortable at the meet and greet with her questions re care, and listened to us drone on and on to how awesome our pets are...ha! She also was super helpful in dealing with one dog who has anxiety. We definitely will use her again. She was also responsive and helpful to our questions asnewcomers to Springfield.”
“Bobbie was great with June. She listened to my descriptions about her quirks (esp around eating!) and communicated about them with me while I was away, without me having to ask. Some random household things occurred as well when I was gone, and she sent pictures and took care of things. Overall a great communicator, always responsive and a true animal lover. I will book her again for sure!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for three years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!

Chase R.Star Sitter
“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!”
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!”
Mel W.
“We have been super happy with the top notch care Mel has given to our pup. He is incredibly attentive, goes out of his way to accommodate our crazy travel schedules, and makes sure our dog has a fun time while we are away. It really is priceless to go on travel and not have to worry about my dog. Also, our pup has had severe stomach issues, so she now has a limited diet; Mel has accommodated her diet and is very careful to feed her meals on time. Lastly, not only has Mel been super responsive with us, he voluntarily reaches out with pupdates and photos that brighten our day, when we are missing our pup. If you ever need a dogsitter in the Santa Fe area, Mel is your guy. We are happy clients and appreciate how loved our dog is when in Mel’s care!”
