“Jennifer is by far the best catsitter I have ever had. She pays attention to every detail and has incredible patience and intuition with my super anxious cat. She followed every instruction to the letter and took extra care with leaving my home clean and secure. Highly recommend!!”
“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”

About: Hey there! I'm Tara Marksberry, and I absolutely adore animals! With 15 years of experience in pet sitting, veterinary offices, shelters, and boarding facilities, I've had the joy of working closely with furry friends of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I pride myself on being dedicated, punctual, and loving in all aspects of pet care. Your furry companions deserve nothing but the best, and I'm here to ensure they receive just that. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day! I work full time from 8:00am to 5:00pm on the east side of Albuquerque. I am completely comfortable staying in your home and will generally remain there unless I’m running to the store or heading to grab something for dinner. Depending on the proximity of your home to my employer I may be able to conduct afternoon drop in visits. Early morning feeding or medication schedules are no problem! While at your home your pets safety is my first priority. I will never leave your pet unattended in the yard and make a habit of checking gates and fences while we’re outside. I will never open the front door in a manner that could allow a pet to escape and will not invite any unauthorized guests or my personal pets into your home. I like to provide picture updates to you throughout the stay so you can rest easy knowing your pets are happy and healthy. I do prefer to have written care instructions to reference so I make sure I’m taking the best possible care of your pets.

They connected wonderfully with my dogs, providing them with the attention and care they needed. I highly recommend Diana and Mark to anyone looking for top-notch pet sitters—I'm so happy to have found them. They're fantastic!”
About: Give your pets the compassionate care they deserve when you're away! My 15 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience, combined with over a decade of personal pet ownership, means your furry family members will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a special affinity for senior pets, understanding their unique routines and comforts, thanks to my experience with my older cat. Let me provide the peace of mind you need, knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved in my care. Currently going to school so I have plenty of time to check on your furr babies throughout the day. I am free early in the morning and evening. Rest assured, your cats and dogs will be in experienced and playful hands! My own two sweet indoor cats thrive with plenty of toys and two large scratchers, so I understand the importance of keeping indoor felines happy and entertained. I absolutely adore playing with my own cats and dogs, and I'll bring that same genuine love and active engagement to your pets, making sure they feel secure and well-cared for in their own environment.
“Sonya is our go-to pet sitter for our kitty. He is very shy but she’s won him over with her care. We’re very pleased with her attention to him.”
“Very loving care. My sick cat did very well under her care. She is very easy to work with and met our needs perfectly. Will use again. Her doggies are very sweet.”
“I knew that my cats were in good hands under Julie's care. She was very cognizant of the timing of the medication that one of my cats needs and kept me updated on how they were doing. Photos were received every day so I could see how the fun they were having with her. I will definitely look to Julie to come take care of my cats again.”
About: My whole life I've been surrounded by pets. I was born into a house with a bird and 2 dogs, but once I turned 5 I had convinced my mother to bring home a cat from the grocery store after absolutely falling in love. Years down the line I moved and eventually had 4 dogs that I walked, played with, fed, bathed and mostly took care of myself. With time I moved in with my brother to help him take care of his house with 11 guinea pigs, 3 cats, and a leopard gecko! Once I turned 18 I was finally able to adopt my own cat, and since then I have adopted another one and who brings me so much joy. I love all animals and will take care of yours like my own! I am free everyday, weekdays and weekends! I am willing to change my schedule around to fit your needs as Rover is my main focus at the moment! Safety is always my number one priority. I do my best to keep my eyes on pets at all times to make sure they're not doing something they're not supposed to or getting into things they aren't supposed to. For walks I will never just lazily hold onto the leash, instead I'll be prepared like they can run off in any second. When I feed pets I watch them to make sure they don't eat too fast and throw up, and try to encourage them to drink water as well as check to see if they need to go to the bathroom when they're done. If I'm watching a pet and they show any sign of distress it's of immediate concern to me and I will be contacting the parents, as well as a vet if needed. If you entrust me to take care of your pet I will ensure they receive the best care possible until their favorite people get home! :)
