“My only experience with a dog sitter and I’m so happy we went with them. I have 3 dogs and one is fearful of most things especially humans and he warmed up to them eventually. Thats a huge deal for us and we are beyond grateful to find people we can trust for our pack. ❤️”
“We always rely on Brigit when we are out of town. We were gone for three weeks recently and we felt so much better knowing that we had her taking care of them twice a day. She is always professional, communicative, and of course sends cute pictures at each visit. I highly recommend her!”
“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”
“Seneca is really the best. I appreciate her so much checking on my dog when I am at work. She is friendly and I TRUST her so much with Marina. She is the best.”
“Laura was a blessing to have watching over my two cats while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking with her again. Absolute professional.”
“Kristin was a refreshing change from dog sitters we have used in the past (not with Rover). She showed up when she said she would, she sent pics of each visit and even went above and beyond on small things that made our absence easier. Thank you for being so diligent and responsible! Highly recommend!”
About: I have worked in zoos, wildlife rehabs, and shelters for over 5 years. I am well-versed in operant conditioning training and provided medication to many species including dogs, cats, and birds. My schedule is very flexible, so I can drop by to care for your pet in your home anytime that fits your schedule! I am not available for boarding pets at my home at this time. I am unavailable for long term stays, e.g. longer than one week I always take into account the owner's preferences for their pet. I will adapt to the way you want your pet to be cared for. With my background in the zoo field, working inside specific parameters is how animals get the best care in the way they are used to.
“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”
“Michael was wonderful with my cat while I was traveling. Very kind, communicative and professional. He even left her an extra little bag of treats. Highly recommend.”
“My 2 kitties received excellent care during my recent trip. Tabatha kept them fed, watered, and entertained- she even brought in packages that were delivered! She is a marvelous cat sitter and I do not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Five stars!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.
“After we fired our first sitter (at the beginning of our trip) for the lack of care she gave to our 2 dogs, we messaged multiple sitters hoping to find someone quickly who could provide better care for our girls. Samantha messaged me back first, and she accommodated us with our last minute request with grace. She was EXCEPTIONALLY better than our last sitter - on time, communicative, and good with our girls. We could tell from the photos that our dogs really liked her and her daughter, and it put me at ease so we could finish the last of our trip de stressed, knowing that our girls were getting good care. We will absolutely be reaching out to Samantha again for future visits!!!”
About: I'll take your dog out for some fun and enriching exercise while peacefully training them to calmly follow along at your side with no pulling, whining, or reacting! I am a dog trainer, field biologist, and academic coach driven to lead people towards a mutually fulfilling life with their dogs, and to share my knowledge and wonder of nature to promote stewardship and love for all sentient beings. I have cared for family pets (cats, dogs, fish, rodents, rabbits, etc) throughout my life, and I have performed extensive animal husbandry during my PhD in Animal Behavior and Ecology (I have even trained and rehabbed hummingbirds!). I began formally dog walking and training in January 2025 and have helped each of my clients transform their relationships with their dogs by learning how to efficiently and peacefully communicate. I hope to: 1) refresh your dog's basic obedience and floppy leash walking skills; 2) help you be aware of your dog's body language, and your own habits; and 3) empower you to become the leader your dog needs! I am happy to offer free nail checks and trimming! 1% of all proceeds will go to Blackhat Humane Society, a Navajo Nation rescue/ foster organization where I adopted my service dog Louie from! I am currently based in Albuquerque, and I have a very flexible work and life schedule, so I can likely accommodate requests for walks at any time and frequency! I have an extensive experience house and pet (and plant!) sitting for family and friends, and I always treat clients' dogs and homes with utmost respect. I am currently unable to host pets in my home.
“Thanks for taking care of Charlie and Pickles for us!”
“Candice is kind and responsible. She was flexible enough to last minute book with us and do a meet and greet and we are so thankful! The dogs loved her style and she picked up a package for us from outside and reported back with great detail. I wish she could be our walker every day!”
“Halley was great! All the cats warmed up to her quickly even our shy girl. She was very flexible with our changing schedule. I would recommend Halley for your drop in visit needs.”
About: For the past 8 years I have cared for pups to senior dogs. I have provided them with love, walks, cuddles, and plenty of treats. I’m currently a part-time student, with plenty of time to play with your furry friend(s)! My availability is flexible and I’m willing to work with your needs. My first priority is my furry clients safety and well-being, whilst also managing owners expectations. I can easily crate your dog if needed and provide personal attention to their special needs.
“I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Alexa took with my senior kitty. She was kind, responsible, communicative and definitely made my vacation worry free. It’s so wonderful to know you can go away and count on someone to be there for your furry family member.”
“Although sitter ended up in hospital, she communicated situation with us and had a close family member take care of the animal for the next 24 hours until we could rush home. Thanks!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my life, ever since I was a little boy I always love them. Dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, etc.. they always find a special place in your heart and become your family. I have experience in raising puppies and kittens ever since I was little and of course can’t forget about the older guys and just tend to their needs as needed Pet care fits into my routine because even though I am in the Air Force I have free time when I get off of work on the weekends and days off depending on which schedule I work that week I will always have time for pets I make sure my pets are well fed and have plenty of activity, I keep the house clean along with have a safe comfortable place for them to sleep with water when needy and potty breaks as well my fur babies are spoiled because they even get couch and privileges I I totally agree with both ways of training a pet

Kimberly L.
“Hello! I have two four-legged girls that I love very much. I am a picky dog mom who always wants the best for them, as you do for yours. I occasionally have to go out of town and want to be sure they are well cared for. I lost my last caregiver, so I did lots of research in my community and had good reports on Kimberly. She certainly lived up to her recommendations, and perhaps even exceeded them. She understands dogs, and after meeting my pitties, she was happy to care for them. We arranged for check-in calls, she took them for walks and played with them. I had a special request for certain rubs and massages, and it was no problem. When I picked up my girls, they were happy, clean, and energetic. I think you can be confident in Kimberly's care for your fur babies.”

Erich E.Star Sitter
“We have a 2.5 year old Husky-Australian Cattle Dog mix with more energy than she knows what to do with. While she is a smart, gentle, happy, and kind pup, she definitely has a hard time on walks… she goes into sled pulling mode. We’ve struggled with it for about a year and a half and kid you not - in 2 sessions with Erich, she suddenly knew how to stick by our side. He was patient with our dog and he taught us the skills and tactics to keep her by our side on walks so that she listens and obeys us, even when Erich isn’t there. We’re very grateful for Erich’s help and have talked about how we think he might be a dog whisperer!! Highly recommend working with Erich!”

Stormy W.
“Stormy is a very great and close friend of mine for the past 16 years. Throughout all these years she’s been so helpful and open to helping me take my pets to the vet, help train, or even simply babysit for a few days. She’s very great to rely on not only because of her great work ethic, but also due to her ability to connect with animals. She has the best intentions for pets along their owners and wouldn’t be anything other than amazing for pet care.”
