Dog Walkers in La Mesa, NM

“Nayeli is always so professional in and around my home and my dogs--she is knowledgeable and friendly! Even my shy kid warmed up to her almost immediately! My dogs love her! I haven't been able to walk my dogs due to some health issues, and she has been so valuable to our family. Thank you so much for your continued care!”

About: During the past nine years, I've generally taken care of small pets, but I also have experience with medium/large-sized dogs. Also, I've fostered a lot of cats and kittens and placed them in loving homes. I do work full-time at a retail store, but I'll do my best to meet your pet(s) needs. As a pet owner myself, I always check to make sure your pet(s) and mine are healthy and ready to face the day :) I have a cozy fenced yard and two little dogs to keep your pup company. Additionally, I provide a medium crate for your dog(s) if required.

About: Ive worked with German Shepards and chihuahuas i also take care of a German shepherd/coyote mix so im more than prepared to take care of any pet. I watch 3 dogs daily all different sizes so im able to watch all kinds of animals at anytime as long as im not in school. Ive taken care of and trained animals that have been crate trained and non crate trained for over a decade. I am more than suited to handle any and all kinds of animals with all behaviors.

About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*

“Jean-Luc seems to have had a great time and looks so tired and happy so he is gonna take a big nap since he had so much fun exploring. Sadie was very communicative and patient with my crazy puppers. I recommend her if you have a puppy or a hyper dog bc she did very well when taking him in and he was happy to meet a new friend will definitely come back to Sadie:)”

About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll

“Dejanae was great :) she kept me updated with how my dog was doing, took him on a long walk and took photos of him. Tucker loved it! Definitely 5+ stars”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my 2-year-old pup who means the world to me. Through the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I understand how important it is to give them love, structure, and attention. From daily walks and playtime to routine care and comforting cuddles, I treat every dog like family. l Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. From morning walks and feedings to playtime and evening wind-downs, I make sure my dog’s needs are always met with love and consistency. Caring for animals brings me joy, so I’m always happy to fit it into my day—whether it's sticking to a regular schedule or being flexible to meet each pet’s unique needs. **How I Care for Pets as a Dog Sitter** As a dedicated dog sitter, I prioritize the comfort, safety, and well-being of every dog I care for. My approach adapts to the unique needs of each pet and the preferences of their owners, whether the care takes place in my home or the client’s home. **In the Client’s Home:** * I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any specific care needs. * I ensure the dog’s environment is safe and comfortable, maintaining familiar spaces and routines to minimize stress. * Regular playtime and walks are provided according to the dog’s energy level and preferences. * I monitor the dog’s health and behavior, keeping the owner updated with photos and messages. * I respect the client’s home by maintaining cleanliness and order during my visits. **In My Home:** * I create a calm and welcoming space tailored to each dog’s needs, including a cozy sleeping area and access to fresh water at all times. * I maintain a consistent routine with regular meals, walks, and playtime to keep dogs happy and healthy. * I supervise all interactions to ensure safety, especially if there are multiple dogs or other pets. * I provide lots of affection and mental stimulation through games and training exercises. * I keep detailed notes on each dog’s behavior, diet, and any special requirements, communicating regularly with the owner. Regardless of the setting, my goal is to provide loving, attentive care that makes both dogs and their owners feel confident and at ease while they are apart

About: Pets, the only family you actually like. I grew up with our family Labrador and am now the proud mom of two crazy cats. I’ve helped look after many animals (including goats!) and was a volunteer dog walker for a couple of years. I work remotely from home (when I’m not on the road). Between my flexible work schedule and access to my own transportation I’m able to easily help look after someone’s beloved pet. I will care for your pets with your guided instruction and care. If possible, I would love to take them on hikes and explore the outdoors.

About: I have dealt with animals, exotic and domesticated, since I was young, and am working with exotic animals more recently. Any animal isn’t too much for me. I am currently in school at Las Cruses , NMSU. I am also a new mother to a wonderful son. I am going to school to further my passion with animals. As I can have a lot on my plate I can and will find time for you and your pet any day of the week! I will keep the clients how clean and neat, while taking care of any pets. Along with this, I will make sure the proper restraints are used. As well as giving proper exercise and care to these special family members.

“Zuleika walked my dogs for the allotted time. They were happy campers. She also accepted the request very last minute, which I appreciated. Would definately use her again.”
