Doggy Day Care in La Villita

“Michelle was terrific with our Muppet! Very accommodating on our short notice request. Would definitely recommend to others and have her watch our pup again if needed. Thanks Michelle!”

“We are very happy to have found Kristen to watch our pup Oban while I was at work and my husband was out of town. She lives in close proximity to us and to Fort Marcy. She was accommodating with my early work start time. Oban got good walks in and we got photo updates. I highly recommend her.”

“Katie is heaven sent. We were in town for a week and needed someone to take care of Oliver, (our sensitive 9year old chihuahua mix), for one night. Katie responded and made time to meet Oliver the day before to make him comfortable. Katie is a the closest thing to a dog whisperer we’ve experienced! Thank you Katie!!!”

About: Hi, I'm Eva! I’ve had dogs and been surrounded by pets my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Portuguese Water Dog, Claude. He craves social time with other dogs (big and small) and demands at least two trips a day to the grassy park down the street. He is very active and loves to hike or run after work when it's cool out. He loves learning new tricks and recently passed his Canine Good Citizen test. I work from home Monday - Friday and have a fenced in yard in the back if the dogs are desperate to get some energy out sooner rather than later! I work Monday - Friday on East Coast hours so am usually done by 3/3:30 to get the dogs out and enjoying the sunshine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day for walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We love to go for a run or hike after work when it is cool out! I am available all day, able to provide excellent communication and attention for your dog. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs can play in anytime they wish.

“Thank you so much for taking care of our little buddy today. We super appreciate you being able to take him last minute while we went on our adventure. Dominic is in great spirits, and we can tell he had a wonderful day with you. Thank you again, and we look forward to reaching out when we are back in Santa Fe.”

“Stevvi was great with our paraplegic dog! When we picked him up he seems very comfortable and happy and when we did shoot a message during the day to check on our pup she got back to us within minutes. We absolutely will book with Stevvi again.”

“Patris was remarkable! I had a late notice and she was able to accommodate. She lives in a very dog-friendly area and my Chito had the greatest time. He was filled with excitement when I picked him up and stayed a bit to chat with Patris; running around and jumping and just happy in his environment. I was able to connect with Patris and form a relationship in such a short time. She communicated throughout the day and assured me Chito was well. She is someone I will definitely trust Chito with next time. Thanks so much!”

“My dog is skittish around new people but Lauren took the time to get him comfortable. Thank you Lauren!”

“Sue was the PERFECT sitter for our pup. She’s sweet, kind, and professional. She’s easy to communicate with and took time for my dog to become comfortable. My dog seemed to love her time there, especially playing with the other sweet dog. We’re so thankful we found Sue to care for our dog.”

About: Raised, trained & showed Brittany Spaniels for 25 yrs. Owned rabbits, multiple cats & different dog breeds while living in the country on 20 plus acres. Recently put down my 24 yr old tuxedo shelter cat, "Serenity". I live in an ideal neighborhood close to the plaza, trails & Marcy Community Park for walking your pet. My backyard is enclosed. I very much look forward to meeting & caring for your pet. I have often been told I am "a pet magnet." I am a retired 72 year old single gal so I have lots of time to devote to your pet. I enjoy frequent walks in my neighborhood. Hiking is a possibility if owner agrees. I have an enclosed backyard. I do not have children nor do I smoke. I would walk your pet on a leash frequently & create space & a distance from other dogs. Written instructions would be preferable about your pet.

“David was great! Responded to my last minute request and took excellent care of Chief for the day. Received lots of pictures & videos throughout the day!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old. I have a 3 year-old Portuguese Water Dog who loves to have friends stay over. He’s incredibly friendly and welcoming to dogs staying over. I have a fenced yard (with GRASS!). I work from home so your dog will be given constant love and attention. Long walks are a must—especially to the two parks that are 5 minutes away. I work from home full time and have plenty of time throughout the day for walks. I am happy to pick up your dog from your home and bring them to ours! Claude, my 3-year-old Portuguese Water Dog, has had plenty of sleepovers lately and loves having a friend to hang out with at home. He’ll show your dog our fenced-in grassy yard, will gladly share his spot on the couch, and will advocate for your dog to get treats all day!

About: I grew up overseas in a family that seemed to always have at least four dogs at home. My first dog (that truly felt like my own) was Lapsi, a beautiful crossbreed, that followed us home one day and never left. She went on to live with us for 16 years, giving birth to several generations of pups that we took care of and distributed across the Valley into caring family homes. In The States my first dog was not actually mine, but my freshman roommate's chestnut lab that he brought from home and that we both took care of - and now, full circle, my current roommates have 3 dogs! I think that qualifies me as a dog person, even if only by association. Throughout it all, I have learned to love our furry friends in all their variety: to receive love from them, to take care of them, watch over them, and even occasionally take urgent action to protect their well being. Pets have been a big part of my life and I'd love to share this enthusiasm with you. In the end it's a relationship that requires a little bit of nurturing and a whole lot of love. Cheers thanks for considering me! I'm currently in between work so I have ample time to afford your animal. In the heat, I find it's best to walk out side of peak hours - but depending on the naimal I am willing to forage in the midday heat. I have a compound with an animal gate that can provide security for most sizes of animals. It's important that all animals have spaces that are appropriate for them and if not that they can access a space that's suits them on a daily basis.

“This was our pup’s first experience with a sitter, and Cristina made it a great one for all of us. She even gave us tips for how to spend our time in town. Highly recommend!”

“Sitter flexible and caring.”

“Althea and Josh were awesome for our baby boy blue. They kept us informed with him and sent great pictures of him. The only draw back was they're location from us tourists. However, we would use them again if and when we come back to Santa fe. Good peeps!!!”
