Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In La Luz De Sol

“Jennifer is dependable, reliable, and professional. Felix really likes her and she is good with him and to him. Jennifer left our home neat and cleaned up (cat dishes, litter box etc) and followed all instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer and Felix will see her again, I am am sure! Thank you Jennifer!!”

About: I’ve been trusted to care for elderly dogs that need medication, to the littles still in potty training. I will follow whatever instructions are left to give the best care. Even if your baby needs their food “cooked” on the stove or need to be tucked in for a story. I’ve raised two dogs of my own and one cat, all who love to play. Ex-teacher on summer break so my schedule is open. I will be starting school in the fall so scheduling will change but I can easily be flexible and respond quickly. I can accommodate crating, open, yards, going for walks, etc. I aim to give your pet consistency so they are safe and comfortable when in my care.

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, regularly assisting my mom with her own pet sitting jobs since I was about 14 years old and receiving my own clients when I became an adult. I have been employed at a local Animal Shelter since 2024, having gained lots of Fear Free handling and medicating experience with both dogs and cats. I also have 3 cats of my own and my roommate has 3 cats as well, with varying personalities/sensitivities. I have full availability on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, and work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday with a set schedule from 8am-6pm. I do get an hour lunch so I can also make a quick visit during that time. I've learned Fear Free handling methods from my workplace, regularly practicing patience and reading a pet's body language to understand when they start to become uncomfortable. I will adjust to your pet's needs to make this time as comfortable as I can.

“Lucy is our go-to to ensure our pups are taken care of when we’re away for an extended period. She takes great care of the dogs and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our high maintenance geriatric dogs.”

About: I have had dogs that I trained and took care of through the first 18 years of my life before I moved here to attend UNM. I occasionally watch my neighbors dog and helped train him when they were ill-equipped to do so. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday I have class from 10am-10:50am and 4:15pm-5:00pm so I am available between those times or after 5pm. I am available all day Friday after 1pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, I have class from 9:30am-10:45am and 2:00pm-3:15pm so I am available between those times and the rest of the day after 3:15pm. On Monday I have class from 10am-10:50am, 2pm-2:50pm, and 6:20pm-9:30pm so I am available between those times. this will update every semester. I only provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits your dog has. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. That includes regular walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. While staying in your home, I treat it with respect—keeping things clean, bringing in mail/packages, and making sure everything is secure. I’m reliable with timing and always show up when expected. I also send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well and you don’t have to worry while you’re away.

“August was phenomenal, as always! We really appreciated the help making sure our girls were well taken care of while we were out of town this weekend.”

“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She was here when she said she would be. Very prompt which was important due to the fact that our cat Speedy needs his meds at the same time each day. She cleaned up after feedings of wet food and sent pix of our boys, which was really nice to receive. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family. Thank you Amanda! ;o)”

“Alexandria always does such a great job watching my kitty 🥰 She makes sure to play with her and give her lots of attention. Thank you for your wonderful service!!”

“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”

“Brooke was fantastic. She took care of our ladies like we would have. We will be booking her again in all of our vacations and trips out of town.”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and currently have two dogs and a cat of my own. Caring for pets has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different animal personalities. I love spending time with animals, whether that's walking, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I am currently unemployed and only do babysitting routinely on Mondays. This means I am available full-time to help you and your pets! I have very little time restrictions what it comes to pet care. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they're my own by following their routine, providing lots of attention and affection, and making sure their needs are met. I enjoy spending time with animals and work to create a calm, comfortable environment where they can feel safe and happy.

About: In college I was a house and pet sitter. I have had pets since I was in elementary school and am now a senior. I currently have three dogs of my own. I’m emotionally intelligent and good to work with. I work a half day as an Occupational Therapist educator in Wednesdays and as an OT practitioner on Fridays. I would be available in the afternoons on these days. I will not take care of pets in my home but am happy to come to yours to care for, walk, pet and feed your fur babies.

About: As a retired Registered Nurse, caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, which gave me a lifelong love and understanding of pets and their unique personalities and needs. After years of providing compassionate healthcare to people, I've happily transitioned that same level of attentiveness, patience, and dedication into caring for animals. I'm trained in pet CPR and first aid, and I take pride in providing safe, reliable and loving care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, medication support, or simply a calm and caring presence, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced, trustworthy hands. As a retired RN, I now have the time and flexibility to dedicate my days to something I truly love - caring for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine and brings purpose, joy, and companionship to my everyday life. I enjoy staying active through walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention with pets, and I appreciate the comfort and happiness that a consistent, caring presence provides for both pets and their owners. Since I'm retired, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the patience, attention, and dependable care they deserve throughout the day. Creating a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care is my top priority. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease while they're away. I provide attentive, compassionate care where pets can feel secure, relaxed, and loved. I treat every animal like family. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience where pets feel happy, safe, and genuinely cared for.

“I was first time user for this type of service and I'm really happy that my cat Lucy was visited by Joel. He was very good in following my instructions I left for him and he was professional. I will definitely us this service again. I just hope I can get Joel again because it would be nice to have a familiar face for Lucy's visits. Thanks Joel!”

About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work full time at a veterinary clinic. My work days are Thursday-Sunday 8:30am-5:30pm, and half days on Mondays. I can always check on pets during lunch breaks, and I am available for overnights. I will always work with your pets needs, whether that is a walking schedule, medications, or other routines that are essential for their well being.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 7:00am. My husband also adores animals and does help me with Dog Sitting and House Sitting . He is also fully verified on Rover with the background check. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can keep your fur baby company. They are both so sweet and crate trained. I can also create your dog baby if needed.

About: Hi! We’re Kathy and Val. We recently moved to Albuquerque from Santa Fe. We both work from home as contractors and are available for dog boarding and doggie day care at our home. We have 2 dogs, Odin and Brady, who are very friendly. We are very active and enjoy long walks, hikes, etc. We also enjoy cuddling with dogs and sharing lots of love with them. Since we work from home our schedule is flexible. We are available from 7am - 9pm. Daycare (full day) and boarding include a 1-2hr hike, depending on activity level and need of the dog. For boarding the hikes can be as often as every other day depending on their activity level and needs. I currently work from home so caring for my pet and the pets of others is a nice way for me to get off the computer and outside. Your dog will receive play-time, walks, cuddles, and treats (if allowed) from me! I try to stick to their routine/times of going out as much as possible.

“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”
