About: I've had dogs as pets for my entire life. In fact, there hasn't been a time since I was 5 that I haven't had a dog. I've also been a trusted dog sitter for friends and family. Animals are my favorite thing in the world and they bring me so much joy, especially dogs. I've cared for seniors, puppies, and every age in between. I had a senior dog with medical issues so I am no stranger to providing gentle and attentive care. I am also very familiar with puppy care and using positive reinforcement when it comes to training. You will have complete peace of mind with me as your pet's caregiver! I am currently in a graduate program and my schedule is very flexible and open throughout the week. I can do same day services as long as the request has been made within a reasonable time frame. I have reliable transportation. Establishing trust with owners as well as their fur babies is extremely important to a successful and fun experience. As I mentioned before, I have had dogs my entire life and I have been their protector, caregiver and family for their entire life. I will acknowledge and respect any and all specifications and requirements that an owner has.


About: I am an experienced positive method dog trainer. I work during the day and I a make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and happy while I am not home. Kennel training helps keep everyone safe if they are boarding but we can discuss options. My dogs are very sweet and mellow as is my kitty so they get ahold well with most everyone. I do special need animals and have experience with blind and def animals. Additionally, I have have contacts to local vets/ vet techs for advice if emergency issues or questions arise on visit if you or your vet cannot be reached.

I want to make sure everyone is safe.

I work part time as server and the rest of the time I work and go to school at home, leaving me with plenty of time to be your furry friends companion.

About: Hi there! I'm Celine, an artist living here in Albuquerque who loves helping people out with their pets. Working as a pet sitter has been an amazing way to support my art while spending time with wonderful animals. I previously had a plott hound named Lucy and grew up surrounded by dogs, so I have plenty of experience and a big heart for furry friends. I've honed my ability to understand and cater to the unique personalities, preferences, and needs of each pet, creating a comfortable and secure environment that promotes their overall health and joy. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and boarding, ensuring your pets get the care and attention they need. I only board one dog at a time, providing a calm oasis free from other animals and children. My home is perfect for pets that need a peaceful environment. My partner Randy also lives with me. He is a wildland firefighter and is often away on long trips for his work. While he loves to play with the dogs if he is home, I'm the primary caregiver and will ensure your pets get the best care possible. Whether you need someone to check in on your cat, take your dog for a walk, or provide a safe and calm place for boarding, I'm here to help. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I work from home as an artist and illustrator. My schedule is fairly flexible which will ensure that I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. For daycare requests, I will ensure that I am with your dog for the full day. For boarding stays, I do occasionally have to step out for 1-6 hours at a time for meetings and other errands. I take measures to make their time alone as stress-free as possible, providing toys and treats to occupy them. Whether during drop-in visits or boarding stays, I understand that your pet may be missing you and their normal routine. I will be sure to give them lots of love and attention to hopefully put them at ease. I will take extra care to follow any instructions you have and will make an effort to accommodate any special requests regarding your pet. I only host one dog at a time in my home, making my boarding service ideal for dogs who thrive on individual attention, personalized care, and a cozy, stress-free environment.

About: I grew up around cats and dogs, and now have 2 large dogs of my own. I've trained 3 dogs as an adult. I am confident in my ability to care for any animal for you. My schedule is about to go through some big changes, so my availability will vary. I'll likely be moving to part time, leaving me lots of time to care for your animals! I'm very situationally aware to ensure safety for your animal at home or on a walk. I am a fast learner and will always pay attention to your animal's safety.

About: I love to run so if your dog is active I can help get all the energy out before your pet comes home. If your cat or dog is a homebody we have two big comfy couches for your pet to sleep on. And we have a private backyard if your pet likes to explore. Anything you need we can accommodate 😊 Im an editor so Im home all the time and I will have more than enough time to spend with your pet to play and have a great day. We have a private backyard that no one else has accomplished to besides us. Your pet will have full access to the backyard and living room but if you need it we can crate your pet in its own area so they feel more comfortable and secure 😊
