“This is our second time using Alexus and she did not disappoint, yet again! She’s so diligent and attentive to our pups every need and more. She goes above and beyond to make sure our dogs don’t even miss us while we are away! She stays on schedule so they don’t feel a change in routine. We are so grateful for her! She is the best and I highly recommend her for loving your fur babies while away. Thank you million’s Alexus!”

“Brigit is the BEST. We have had her house sit with our dogs multiple times and we have been so grateful. She’s the sweetest person and i know she’s taking care of my dogs. We never have to worry when we are out of town. I got a ton of packages delivered while she stayed and she was amazing and made sure all of them were inside even though they were VERY heavy. We will continue to use Brigit anytime we need a dog/house sitter.”
“This is the 3rd or 4th time Autumn has taken care of our dogs. This time for two weeks. As always, she took amazing care of them, which gave us peace of mind while on vacation…she is so good and patient with our super senior dogOliver and our reactive anxiety dog, Mickey.”

“Jessie took great care of our kitty and the house. She's super communicative and responsive. Our cat was one happy camper. I highly recommend Jessie, and I'm sure we'll be repeat customers.”
“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.”

“August is an amazing sitter! Our ladies are old and not the easiest. A couple of hiccups occurred and August handled them just as we would have. We got communication every day with photos and our ladies were relaxed in every photo. We were able to enjoy our vacation with no stress about our dogs, which was wonderful! Our home was left in impeccable shape. We will definitely book with August for any future needs (as long as he's available). We couldn't have expected a better experience!”
“Gabriel is a dog whisperer! When our German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix proved to be a bit skittish, Gabriel confidently lended a calming and supportive presence, over an extended caregiving stay, that helped our dog warm up and feel safe. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind he provided, and we would not hesitate to have him care for our pup again! Plus, he left the house in great shape. We wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel! Thank you!”

“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.”

“Josie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home. The dogs were very happy and the house looked great. I would definitely have her back again. Thank you!”

“Becca has watched my old dog in my home (house sitting) a few times and is always friendly, reliable, communicative, and respectful of my home. My dog has a lot of needs at her age, and Becca takes such excellent care of her. I highly recommend Becca!!”

“Vincent was super nice about helping us out at the last minute when a family emergency changed the availability of our usual dog sitter. Our dog Shiloh liked him right away! He kept us updated and took great care of Shiloh and our house.”

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.
“Juan was great! He came to my house last minute while my husband was in the hospital and stayed with Bacon for us. He took great care of our baby. He actually had him come back the next day to help again.”

“Corinne was great - our dogs are very suspicious to everyone they meet, but Corinne made friends with them very fast. She send us daily updates and pictures and we felt that they are in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Corinne again - and I hope she will be available than as well.”

About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!

Great experience! Heaven is very kind, communicative, and very thorough. From start to finish, I felt that she really wanted to make sure both me and my dog felt comfortable. Especially since this was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family. I highly recommend and plan on rebooking with her in the future. :)

We had a very positive experience overall and would absolutely hire Ava again. Once the pet-sitting began, she was dependable and consistent, took initiative without needing much hand-holding, and kept us updated throughout. We especially appreciated that she let us know when supplies were running low and that she cleaned up after herself - those thoughtful details made a big difference and gave us peace of mind. She clearly cared for our pets and our home, and we felt they were in good hands. The one piece of constructive feedback would be around communication before the job started. We had some difficulty reaching her in the days leading up to the visit and again the morning of, which created a little stress on our end. That said, once everything was underway, communication improved significantly, and Ava was reliable and proactive throughout. Overall, she did a very good job, and we’d feel comfortable recommending her to others looking for a caring and capable pet sitter.

Excellent and prompt communication, appropriately cautious when meeting a new dog, did everything I requested including watering plants and refilling bird feeders. Stayed with my dog all day on the one of the two days I was gone that she wasn’t working. Everything was clean and tidy and as I left it. I appreciate everything and will definitely hire her again if she isn’t already booked!

Vy did an amazing job looking after our Cosmo! she abide by all of our requests, and was able to fit in in such short notice! Cosmo was super happy that somebody stayed with him, it was his first day alone without either of us, so being able to find a sitter to watch him when he’s just a puppy was amazing! I will definitely book with Vy again in the future!
