House Sitting La Mesa

“Daniel went above and beyond. We have three 50lb girls, and they were in perfect spirits when we got home from a trip that was longer than two weeks. We got pictures every day, so much fetch was played that I can see a little path worn into the dirt in our yard, and they even got special cooked meals for the holidays! On top of all that, Daniel was a great steward of our home. Everything was neatly kept, and in order when we got back. As someone that's worked with a variety of animals, from cats to horses, I was incredibly impressed. 10/10 will book again.”

“Thank you so much! Hossanna cared for our dog and cat while we were away for a week. We were so happy to receive photos and they were so well-cared-for!”

“Marty is awesome! He has now stayed with our pups on multiple occasions and has done a great job. He is very trustworthy and respectful of our home and dogs. He has been able to connect with our very hyper girls and understands their need to be active. He reaches out to us just to let us know the dogs are doing well while we're away. He gives us peace of mind while traveling knowing our dogs are safe and being taken care of. That is priceless! Thank you for all of your help, Marty! We highly recommend Marty to anyone who needs someone reliable, trustworthy and in tune with your pets!”

“Our girl Honey is an older dog with hearing a vision issues as well as doggy dementia. Needless to say, we get nervous about leaving her. Luckily, Leah was fantastic with her over the five days she watched her. She also took wonderful care of our house. Honey is looking forward to seeing Leah again soon :)”

“Autumn has watched my dog and cat several times, and takes such good care of them. I know that my furry kids are in great hands with her. My dog Evan has severe separation anxiety, but Autumn gives him so much love that he is able to work through it. For this past booking, I had some scheduling changes and asked Autumn at the last minute if she could stay three additional nights. She immediately accepted, giving me such peace of mind. She sends tons of amazing pictures and updates. We are so grateful to have found her!”

“LANI was excellent with Molly Bea. She gave her all she needed including play at the dog park. She dealt with an unexpected Molly health emergency, for which we are so very grateful. Lani communicated with us by phone and text, took excellent care of her, kept us updated. She took Molly to the emergency vet, picked her up again and stayed with Molly until we arrived home from our trip last night. I highly recommend Lani!”

“Brigit was excellent. Went out of her way to come meet my dogs first before the in house sitting. She was on time and took great care of my boys. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. One of my dogs had just dislocated his shoulder too and and I felt even more comfortable knowing with her experience and current schooling my boy would be in good hands and she would know what to do if an emergency came up.”

Amanda P.

“As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.”

Melinda D.

“Juan did a great job with our boy. We got updates and pictures and he was very responsive to any messages we sent while we were away. Took great care of the house as well!”

Shannon P.

“Kim took care of Molly and responded quickly when we had questions or concerns. The communication and follow up was very good. Molly is pretty active and sometimes a bit much, and we feel that Kim handled her well.”

Donna K.

“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”

Beatrice K.

“Vincent is the absolute best. He is calm, cool, collected and caring. He was flexible with my changing schedule (a few times), and was kind and understanding. He asked great questions about the dog (Skipper), beforehand. He sent me updates each day, and even came up with ideas for how to better get Skipper to take his medicine. I feel so comfortable and happy knowing Vincent was watching my dog (and my house). He is excellent, trustworthy and an all-around cool dude. I can't recommend him highly enough.”

Lauralynn D.

“Thanks Tahlese! She was responsible and dependable with great communication and attention to detail. She was also flexible and worked with us when we had a last minute (slight) change of plans. I would recommend Tahlese for your dog and cat care needs!”

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.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Reliable and great communication in a timely manner, which is hard to find nowadays. Malcolm was punctual, informative, and never once did I have to reach out for updates. Excellent service at an affordable price. Will definitely book again in the future”
