House Sitting in Los Alamos

“Jami is the best! She really cares and treats my pups as her own. She is so communicative and provides so many pictures of them during the stay. I have a special needs dog and it's difficult to find someone I can rely on to keep her on the pill schedule and well while I'm gone. Jami has gone above and beyond. You rock Jami!”

About: I am reliable and hard-working. I will love your animal while you are away so you can relax and enjoy your trip. All I need is a job from you! I am currently retired, so your schedule needs are easy. Just let me know when you need me and I will drive to you. I have nothing but time. I am currently not taking care of pets in my home. I can travel anywhere you need me to. I love exploring new areas around me.

About: I have been actively caring for animals since 2020 and have found such great fulfillment through it. Your furry friend's needs come first and I always make sure everyone feels secure and happy in every visit 🥰 I am able to do overnights any day of the week. My schedule is always flexible and I will always find a way to make sure your needs are being met! For drop in visits and walks, I have more flexibility on weekends. On Mondays-Fridays, I am able to do visits after 4:30pm. With any new animal, I start off slow and let them have the opportunity to sniff or be near me without feeling pressured. I analyze the animal's behavior and pick up any cues on how they're feeling before proceeding. Building trust is very important to me and I like to build connections with the animals!

“I cannot recommend Makani enough! She is a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We are so grateful to have found her on Rover. She took wonderful care of our two dogs in our home, providing regular updates and photos while also being respectful of our space. It’s clear she is a true animal lover, and having her care for our pups gave us complete peace of mind so we could fully enjoy our time with family and friends. We will absolutely be booking with her again—thank you so much, Makani, for everything!”

“She was on time and friendly. She sent me some photos of our pup and messages during 7hr sitting at our hotel while we were at a wedding. Glad I found her after our first sitter cancelled last minute even though we booked her 2-3 mo ago.”

“Ellen is the best! She’s watched our pup on a handful of overnights and he loves her. She’s communicative, friendly, takes Walt on walks and gives him lots of cuddles while we’re away. She’s our go-to sitter in town!”

Kelly S.

“Delanie took care of my pup while we attended a wedding and reception in a town far from home. I found her in this town and thank goodness!! I did not have to worry about my pup! After our first meeting Taco took to her right away. I did not have to worry after that. She sent me a couple of pictures that made me feel at ease. When we came back from the wedding my pup did not act like I have been gone. He was super calm not excited like when I return from the store. To me it says he was less stressed out. I feel he had a great time with Delanie,l. She took great care of him! I highly recommend her! If I come back and need her service I will not hesitate to book her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from raising animals for FFA to training my own dogs and working at an animal shelter. Animals have always been a big part of my world, and I treat every pet like family! I work Monday - Friday 7:30am to 4:30 pm I have an hour lunch and would love to take days off to help care for your furry baby’s. I plan to get more availability for the future. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I always follow instructions closely, use secure leashes and gates, and keep a calm, watchful eye on every animal in my care. With years of hands-on experience—from shelter work to farm life—I know how to handle pets gently, responsibly, and with lots of love.

“Heather took great care of my home & pets while I was out of town. Will be requesting her again the next time I need my pets cared for while I'm outnof town. Thanks for the great service!”

About: Dogs have been my constant companions since I was a little kid. I’m so lucky to have two furry friends: a playful Black Lab and a loyal Doberman Pinscher. They’ve taught me the true meaning of joy and responsibility when it comes to our four-legged family members. I’ve also been in the military, serving in the U.S. Army. That experience instilled in me the values of reliability, discipline, and dedication, which I now bring to every walk, every tail wag, and every dog-sitting session. I’m currently working part-time as a dog walker and dog sitter, ensuring each pup gets the exercise, care, and attention they truly deserve. Whether your dog prefers a brisk power walk, a relaxing stroll around the block, or simply lots of love and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and cherished. Time to get those paws moving! 🐾 I am currently available for part-time dog walking and dog sitting with a flexible, open schedule to accommodate your pet’s needs. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I am happy to work around your preferred times — mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends included. As a U.S. Army Veteran, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and trust. When caring for your dog in your home, my priority is to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety while respecting your home as if it were my own.

About: Currently training to become a certified dog trainer here in Santa Barbara. I have worked as a vet-tech and as a dog trainner assistant in the past. In love with all breeds with no exception.

I am a very active woman and love to exercise with them, if possible. I have always been surrounded by dogs and have experience with many breeds. I do also have some dog agility course training experience. My heart is full of love and respect for animals and dogs. I understand and appreciate the meaning of dogs in our lives. They just make everything better.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, I treat every pet like family. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each animal’s unique needs — from high-energy puppies to sweet senior companions. I'm trained in basic obedience for young dogs, experienced with medication administration, and attentive to special diets or mobility concerns. I believe communication is key, so you’ll always get photo updates and honest check-ins. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or just comforting company, I’m here to provide consistent, loving care that keeps tails wagging and hearts happy. I'm recently retired, which means I have extra time on my hands—and I can't think of a better way to spend it than caring for your pets. My days are wide open for long beach walks, fun car rides, and even the occasional pup cup stop (a fan favorite!). Whether your pet needs mid-day playtime, a quiet companion, or a full day of adventures, I’ve got the flexibility to make it happen. My schedule is open and stress-free—just like your pet’s time with me will be! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment with plenty of affection, routine, and supervision—no crowded spaces or overwhelming noise. I keep a close eye on each pet’s behavior and body language to ensure they feel relaxed and understood. In my home, pets have access to clean, pet-friendly spaces, cozy rest spots, and a fenced outdoor area (or safe leash walks, if preferred). When caring for pets in your home, I respect your routines and follow your care instructions to the letter—because no one knows your pet better than you do.
