Amanda was fantastic with our three dogs and one cat! One day one, our youngest had an accident in the crate and she handled it like a pro! We’re so glad she was with our babies while we were away and we’ll definitely book Amanda again!

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. ❤❤❤

About: Weekend boarding, weekday walks and weekday visits are what I have to offer. Cuddling, petting, belly rubs, hiking, whatever your doggie needs I’m happy to supply the love. I love animals and am a vegetarian- that stated, I have no problem feeding doggies raw meals or whatever diet you prefer. I’m very patient and kind. Your dog will have a safe and happy environment here with me. We can do a meet/greet first to make sure we’re a good fit. Thank you. All my best. When I take on a doggie, dog care is my sole focus. I do not take other jobs. I'm all about focusing on dogs when they are in my care. My home is fenced. We have a doggie door. The dogs are welcome on my bed and furniture. Loving on dogs is what I'm all about.

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: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve supported senior pets through their final stages with patience and compassion, and I’ve also helped care for newborn litters, closely monitoring their health and development as they grow. I also have personal experience caring for handicapped pets. I’ve owned and cared for an older three-legged dog, and I’ve helped friends with pets who needed assistance walking, standing, or getting comfortable. Providing gentle support and adapting to each animal’s unique needs is something I take seriously and approach with kindness. My lifelong experience with horses — including care at the professional competition level — has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to high-quality care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and IV treatments, and have experience doing so for dogs, cats, and horses. Above all, I treat every animal entrusted to me as if they were my own, providing thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loving care. I currently work a flexible 9–5 schedule, which allows me to stop by during the day for potty breaks, short walks, or check-ins as needed. Outside of my work hours, I have open availability aside from time spent at the gym or caring for my horses at the barn. I prioritize clear communication and planning to ensure your pets receive consistent, reliable care throughout the day. In my home, my pets are truly part of the family. I have a Belgian Malinois mix who has 24 hour access to our fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and explore. She can also come in and relax in our upstairs office whenever she would like, so she is free to choose where she feels most comfortable. We go on daily walks and occasional hikes to keep her happy and fulfilled. Because I also have three indoor cats, one elderly and one still quite young, I supervise full house access to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My dog is very cat friendly, but I am always mindful of each animal’s comfort level. My cats have free roam of the house, lots of toys, cozy spots, and supervised outdoor time during warm summer days. I pay close attention to their different personalities and needs, especially my senior kitty. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for them. I like to learn their routine, when they eat, where they sleep, how they like to play, and any little quirks that make them unique. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

About: I’ve loved and cared for my own pets ever since I was a child well into my adulthood. As a young adult I started pet sitting for friends family family and even new and old acquaintances. I love all fur babies and all fur babies deserve love. I am currently unemployed and in a tight spot with being able to find work. I love caring for pets and thought I’d finally create a profile to get some form of consistent work instead of only caring for my friends and families pets I have my own dog and my roommates dog I currently care for in my own home. I am willing to care for pets in clients home with whatever rules they require me to follow

Karen-Joyce is a gem. I live out of town on some acreage, down a dirt road, with lots of animals and goings on. She handled everybody with ease, caught on quickly to house rules, and showed just general confidence and sense on how to run the house. I felt confidence when I left on my trip! When I came home, everybody felt happy, settled, and the house was clean and organized. She is adaptable, communicative, responsive, capable... I strongly recommend her. Thank you, Karen-Joyce!

About: After my dog Currito passed away, I realized how much love I still have to give. Caring for other dogs is my way of honoring him and sharing that love. I will treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and truly loved. I am currently working full time but I am available daily after 3:45 pm. I can offer boarding on weekends after Fridays at 3:00 pm. I can take care of your pet at your own home or at my mine ( I live in an appartment) I adapt to your lovely fur friend.

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.

Robert took care of Miss Ziggy while I was out of town for the holiday. He took excellent care of her as well did an amazing job house sitting. He's professional, courteous and communicated clearly. Ziggy seemed to take a liking to him so if she's happy I'm happy. Id recommend Rob for any per care needs.

Jerrett did a great job with our house and two pups during an 5-day overnight stay. He’s very responsible, communicative and shared lots of photo/video updates. Our vacation was stress-free as we knew everything was going well at home. Would highly recommend him to care for your pets!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for 5 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!

I don't think Hallie wanted to leave. There is truly something special about the kindness and genuine care Sara has provided my girl. It is not easy caring for a Great Pyrenees but I know Sara lavishes her with love and gets in all the exercise she needs.

About: Hello I'm Madeline, and I'm here to care for your pet just as I do for my own! I love cats and dogs alike, and have taken care of many different breeds and personality types over the years. I've yet to find any pet that I can't handle! Your pets will be loved and cared for so you don't have to worry while you are away :) For Boarding: I live on 5 acres of a wonderful pinon paradise, where your dog(s) can play and hike to their heart's content! I take my own pup for 3 walks a day, so yours will get plenty of exercise. And if they don't mind the car, I'm happy to take them to parks and longer hikes if you like! I work from home so will give them my full attention 24/7. I pay very close attention to any specific needs for diet, behavior, or whatever special instructions you give. I love to send photos and updates as often as you like, so you can see they are happy and healthy! If it's drop-in visits only, I give my full attention to playing, hugging, entertaining your pets the entire time they are here. I hate leaving my pets behind while I travel, so I know how to ensure other owners that their pets are cared for as if they were my own :) I currently work my own schedule so can be flexible with whatever your pets needs may be. If they are boarding in my home, they will have 24/7 attention. I own 5 acres with a good portion fenced in if staying at my home. I love energetic hikes and walks and will cater to your dog's fitness level. I take my own cat outdoors on a harness and would be happy to train yours too! Whatever level of care your pet is accustomed to, I will deliver the same while they are in my care.
