About: I’ve been around and had pets my whole life. My personal animals are very well loved and cared for. I’m committed to sharing the same attention, love, & quality care that I have for my furry children for yours as well. Currently I’m available 6am-1pm Sunday through Thursday and Fridays and Saturdays I’m available all day. I have my other job I do during the evenings. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime! I am dedicated to the meticulous needs your pet may need whether that be medication, water, attention, exercise, special dietary needs, treats, pup cups, etc. Whatever the case may be your pet is special and I’m committed to whatever they might need.

“Becca was an excellent sitter in every way! I received detailed updates and my cat had everything she needed while I was away. Becca went above and beyond by becoming one of the first people my cat doesn’t hide from- which was astonishing. All that I was hoping for was to make sure she had water and assumed that she would just hide under the bed. Instead, I came home to a very happy little girl, who really wanted me to know she had made a new friend. Highly recommended!”


“Mel was Amazing with Margaret! They were very understanding when our plans changed and flexible with our schedule. Mel sent an update daily and very communicative! Will definitely book again! 😸”


About: Pets and animals are precious to me. I’ve had small animals and medium dogs all my life. They deserve the best loving care. I have watched cats for friends. I’m a retired 48 yr old and looking for jobs I enjoy. I’ve provided medication for my own. So I can do those things. I understand dog signals and read what they want most times. I can tell when they are feeling bad, scared and happy. I try to calm and provide security for them as best as I can. I am retired and available for your pet(s). I am available most days and nights. I do have a couple days that I have Zoom meetings for couple hours which are Thursday 7 to 9:30 pm and Sunday’s 10-11:50 am. Some Saturday morning’s but I am flexible. I can pick up pets 3 hrs before these hours. I have a wide open yard but I don’t let dogs just roam on their own. I walk dogs outside on leashes. Most of my small dogs stay inside for safety. I walk my own dogs at dog parks when no people are around or go for small outings to get fresh air and a walk. I can watch at my place or near your place or hotel. Whatever makes you feel at ease and comfortable. My daughters small dogs are friendly. There are 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas. There is a room I can keep them to feel safe if they feel afraid. They can roam around the house. They are in safe loving hands because I want the owner to feel at ease and not to worry.

About: I’ve spent a lifetime caring for family pets. Now, an opportunity to professionally help families in need is too good to pass up! As a member of Rover, I will fulfill you/your pet’s needs with care, to the best of my ability and with the utmost transparency. I’m currently working full-time but can devote every day starting at 4 pm for any walking needs. I’m also available for pet sitting — I just need at least 24 hours in advance for scheduling. I’ve always treated pets as members of the family. It’s amazing how well dogs and cats can interact with us if we just pay attention. I have a calm demeanor and am patient with animals. My residence is not good for house sitting but I can travel, can house sit and am very easy to accommodate with any rules you have.


“Danielle did an amazing job watching my animals! She understood and handled our rescue dogs with patience and love. She also dealt with our cat and kitten expertly, making me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care! She took extra time to make sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. We'll definitely be scheduling visits again!”


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: I grew up taking care of a big, sweet lab and spending time with my extended family’s large dogs. Since then I’ve had the privilege of bonding with the dogs of friends and past partners. I’ve been professionally dog sitting full-time for 2+ years, and off and on for 5. I follow the lead of the dog owner with commands and whether to have the dog(s) on leash or not. I’ve had many experiences of simple neighborhood walks, longer hikes in the wild, dog parks, car rides, giving medication, taking the dog to the vet when needed, and lots of playtime and cuddling. :) I love getting to know the unique personality of each dog I care for, and I do my best to make sure they have quality time and care while their person is away. I am a homebody + I am building an online business, so I am available to give steady presence to the pets, plants, and home I’m caring for. I value clear, direct communication, and I appreciate having detailed directions on how you would like me to care for your pet(s) and home. I’m very self sufficient and capable of dealing with unforeseen circumstances if they arise. I keep my space tidy and clean and will leave your home in as good or better shape than I found it. Please provide a clean and welcoming space for my arrival. I am careful to lock all doors/secure your home, bring in your mail and packages, and water your plants.


“I have a special needs cat that requires expression of the bladder twice a day. Marissa handled this without a problem. She even offered to come back by if my flight was delayed. Both my cats were happy when I got home and house was clean! Recommended and will be calling her back.”


About: I absolutely love pets!! I currently have 4 dogs of my own who are my babies! Everyone that knows me knows my passion for animals!! They are like babies to me! I've had animals all my life and have experience working with animals! I was once a vet tech and also a dog bather! I cherish animals and get excited everytime I see one! I believe there is no better person to trust with any animal than me. I know how to groom dogs as well as nail clipping. I have experience with all ages from puppies to senior dogs. I feel when it comes to animals there is nothing I can not do or handle! If you have any questions feel free to ask! I am very flexible with my schedule, I am basically open 24/7 and can work around your schedule. Time and days should not be an issue. I have fully fenced front and back yard, my fur babies are very friendly with other animals. Your animals would basically be with me the entire time I am watching them.


“Carolyn was professional, friendly, and sincere. My cats were comfortable with her, which is alot. One of my cats would not let my mother see her for years, so it was remarkable that my cat let Carolyn pet her on the first visit!”


“I’m grateful for the opportunity to have Hannah’s continued presence as our house/cat sitter. She has developed a real connection with our beloved cat which is invaluable when we need to leave for long periods. I have peace when I’m away and know my home and cat are safe and very lovingly care for.”


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! They can sleep in their own bedroom or in a fully furnished cosy workshop if they prefer. 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 I'm there. 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.

About: Hello! I am 21 years old and have owned no less than 3 dogs at a time for my entire life. I currently own dogs, a cat, and a few different reptiles. I’ve been working a full-time job for the past 3 years at a doggy daycare where I was the manager as well. I recently decided to leave the doggy daycare industry and create my own animal care business. I have open availability and am ready to meet and care for your family members now! Because I recently left a full-time management job in the doggy daycare industry, I have open availability, although I expect to fill up quickly. I can stay overnight, offer daily feedings and walks, walks or dog park visits only, or whatever your family might need. I am also available for other housesitting tasks like plant watering and home care as part of my offerings. I am available to stay at your house for extended periods of time and also take your pup/s on walks, I am a licensed trainer here in New Mexico so if you would like training, I am happy to do that as well! Working at a daycare has given me lots of experience with routine: feeding, playtime, medical care, etc. Any critters are a friend to me! :)

About: I am a friendly neighborhood dog walker, available to care for your pets needs. Reliable, trustworthy, and a good communicator. I'm comfortable with cats as well. I currently work part time, and on my own schedule, so I am available to tailor my schedule to help better suit your pets' needs. I can come in a timely fashion to your home to feed, walk, and provide love and care for your animals. I have my own transportation and can take your animals to the vet in case of an emergency.

“Absolutely excellent! Friendly, courteous, and always professional. James has a calm, kind demeanor that immediately put Yue — my Belgian Malinois — at ease. His connection with her is genuine, and it shows. He’s always punctual and ready to go, making him an easy and trusted choice for anyone looking for a dependable dog walker!”

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!”


Meghan Q.
“Meghan is a AAA+ pet sitter and a joy to meet! She exudes confidence, reliability, and trust. My dog, Katie, took to Meghan instantly….which isn’t her ‘normal’. I think this says a lot about Meghan’s natural affinity for animals and their trust and interest in her. Meghan followed all the guidance to a ‘T’ and left me with a couple of house observations that I really appreciated. She left my home without evidence she was here, a testament to her clean and tidy profile. Will certainly ensure Meghan is aware of my future travels with hope she can return!”

Rowan M.
“One of our dogs was old and has now passed away, but while he was alive, Rowan would take him to his physical therapy and vet appointments and take him for short walks a few times a week with our other dog. She housesat for us a few times, and we found her to be excellent in every way. Our dogs were happy and well-adjusted when we returned and didn't do their usual sulking around to "punish" us for leaving them. I would trust my dogs and home to Rowan completely!”
