“Marcus is truly an exceptional dog walker and person! He took great care of our dog and was especially observant and careful on hot days—he came very early in the morning and always took care to make sure she was ok. He left great, detailed reviews and was always happy to help with any concerns—he truly goes above and beyond! Our dog loves him and we look forward to working with Marcus whenever possible!”

“We loved Greg and miss him. He ALWAYS took great care of Athena and was available if our schedules changed. If we’re ever in Albuquerque again we’ll contact him again”

“Thank you for the quick response. Sombra is awesome and usually have a friend pick her up on unexpected longer days but they weren't available. Lauren was able to step in on a moments notice. 🐾 of thanks!”

“Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!”

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.

“Faris is absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Benzo and Sasha! They love him so much and get so excited whenever they see him. Every time they come back from a walk, they’re happy, relaxed, and completely tired out — which is exactly what we want! Faris is reliable, caring, and clearly loves spending time with dogs. We always feel comfortable knowing Benzo and Sasha are in good hands. We highly recommend Faris to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with their pets!”

“Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.”

About: I am a veterinary assistant that has been taking car of pet for at least 9 years. I started pet sitting for my family and neighbors pet. Then I whent to the pound walking and helped in the clinic. Then I became a veterinary assistant to help more animals. I am currently working full time 10 hour shifts with 3 days off a week. So I have 3 days to focus all my time with your pets. I have a full fenced yard. I have 1 lovely dog that is friendly and get along with other dogs. I also have a crate if you would like me to use that.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life - as a child, through adulthood, and with my own family. Now, my wife and I have Zeus and Nala, two adorable lab mixes who rule our life with walks, baths, and dinner time. I'm a longtime professional transitioning to a new career. Currently, I have no recurring commitments and have lots of availability and flexibility for intermittent or regular walks and sitting. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I'm at home most of the day, and the doors stay open with access to a breezy porch and lots of sunlight.

About: I grew up around dogs ages 1-13 and have spent 3 years taking care of other dogs. I'm experienced in providing medication, cleaning up after them, and preparing food. I'm always ready to hear what your dog needs! I am a current student at UNM, and I have a part-time job. I am always home in the evenings, and have time to come home and make sure your animal is well fed, and all needs are met! I also have enough time to pklay with your pet and make them feel loved. I have a fenced-in yard and live right next to a park that we can walk to and play at so they get all their energy out. I will also make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and do everything in my power to make sure they are having the same relaxing vacation as you! I love going on walks and playing with animals, so no matter where we are, they will have a great time!

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with both. I currently have four cats of my own and volunteer at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where I help make sure every homeless kitty gets the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting and walking for friends and neighbors since middle school, I’ve worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. There, I was responsible for supervising group play, feeding dogs with specific dietary needs, administering medications (including pills and liquids), bathing dogs, and keeping their environment clean, safe, and fun. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, a nice walk, or making sure your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family! My schedule is flexible, but I do have classes from 11–12 and 1–2 on weekdays. I’m typically available in the mornings, afternoons after 2, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m usually off on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I often have more availability those days. However, I do occasionally work, so my schedule may vary slightly. Feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own space. I follow feeding routines, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give them all the attention they need. For dogs, I love going on walks and spending time outdoors. For cats, I offer lots of affection (when they want it!) and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. Whether it’s staying overnight or stopping by for a check-in, I always treat every pet like my own.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—my dad, my grandparents, everyone in my family had them—so caring for pups is second nature to me. I have a great pyrenees of my own who brings endless joy to my days and loves making new friends. At my home, your dog will have plenty of fun and comfort. I offer a doggie pool for summer splashes, a ball launcher for endless fetch, and a variety of toys to keep tails wagging. If your pup needs a kennel when left alone, I have two here so you won’t need to bring your own. My home comfortably accommodates up to four dogs at a time, so your furry friend will have plenty of company without feeling crowded. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a safe space to relax, I treat every dog like my own—because to me, they are family. I currently work 8-5 and take the dogs out during my lunch! I have a big backyard and one friendly house dog that are always looking for new friends ☺️ There’s also a doggy pool outside for them to cool down in the summer. The pets are allowed free range of the house (as long as they are house broken) and the backyard. I feed my dog twice a day and give them dental sticks once daily, but will follow the feeding/grooming/walking routines your dog is used to.

“Hector has been a fantastic dog walker for Dolly. She adores him and looks forward to their walks. Hector is consistently prompt and flexible with scheduling, making it easy to coordinate even on busy days. Highly recommend his services! He is reliable, caring, and a great fit for Dolly!”

About: Every pet deserves love, patience, and personalized care. Having cared for animals my entire life—from dogs and cats to birds, ducks, and chickens—I understand that every pet is unique. I’ll treat your furry or feathered family member with the same attention and care I’d give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, so I’ll always follow your routines, instructions, and preferences closely. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing at the park, or relaxing at home, I’ll provide attentive, loving care while keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. Regular updates and photos are always included so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”

About: Mostly I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, including seniors, pups and kittens. I am sensitive to and will want to get them care if an emergency arises. I love to love them all. Presently I am flexible to meet pet parent needs. I do need 1 day notice for planning 🙂 and ensuring I am prepared for your pets. Presently I am able to provides services at your home only ( except for very young puppies and kittens who can stay with me if needed) -in your home I’m most familiar with cats and dogs. I am glad to keep your pets environment fresh during visits including waste clean up, hair brush or deshedding with your tools, refresh food, water bowls as needed. I will have non-toxic cleaners for hard surfaces if needed.

About: A little about me, I am a 27 year old and I’ve owned animals since I was 5. My family and I also used to run a rescue farm where we cared for animals that had been abandoned or mistreated. We no longer run this rescue anymore because we moved to Albuquerque full-time, but boy do I miss it. All of my pets have been rescue animals and I fully support adoption and rescue shelters! Some of the pets I’ve personally owned are cats, dogs, guinea pigs, different birds, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, alpaca, a mule and even a pig! I love and always will love animals, they are beautiful inside and out. I know it takes a lot of patience to work with animals and I promise you that I have that and more to offer to you and your fur baby. I have experience with senior dogs, senior cats, administering medication, short tempered animals, abused animals, surgery recovery, potty training and much more! I currently work full time but my schedule allows a lot of flexibility during the day and I have weekends off so that really helps with making time for taking care of wonderful fur babies! I care for any animal in my home or anywhere else for that matter, just as I would for my own. I have a very secure backyard as well as a two door system for the front door to ensure the safety of any pets staying inside of my home. I have a very routine schedule allowing me to meet medication schedules and the proper amount of time in-between potty breaks. I also ensure to “puppy proof” my house before a stay, no matter the age just to ensure that they will be kept safe and not get into anything that would make them sick. I care about dogs with my full heart and I know how hard it is to find great dog care, I want to be here to provide that.
