“We had such a great experience with Brigit during a recent trip! She was extremely professional, reliable, efficient, and detail oriented. We especially appreciated her consistency in sending us pictures of our beloved kittens throughout our absence. I would absolutely and enthusiastically opt for her services again.”


“Alexis was a lifesaver with my last minute request for drops in’s. I really appreciate how thorough she was and the pictures and detailed notes gave me piece of mind. I will definitely book her again.”

“Cassandra took great care of my senior dog. I'm a worrier and Cassandra kept me updated on everything the whole time so I could feel confident that my little buddy was doing fine while I was gone. Loved the report card too!”
“Alexus was great! Our dogs are a bit skittish and she won them over. She went above and beyond to help de-shed our blue heeler when she was over. Highly recommend and will rebook!”


“Wow! I’m super please and grateful for Dante! Life has been so busy with the birth of our new baby that we haven’t had much time to give one on one attention to our fur baby, Mia. Dante treated her so sweet, like she wa done of his own. She is 13 years old and he used our stroller to take her on her fav thing to do… walks around the neighborhood. Dante was on time, respectful, professional, and I would trust him with my fur baby Mia any day. He was super mindful of her needs. Will book again !”

About: My family has a history of adopting older dogs and rescues with health and behavioral problems, so I have lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra care and attention. Rover is my full time job. I usually work weekday mornings and afternoons, but I'm happy to work with clients individually to come up with a schedule that works. Let me come to you! I can't accommodate pets in my home or car, so I will come to your home to care for and spend quality time with your furry friends!

About: I have had animals my whole life, and have worked in the pet industry for 6 years. My day job experience has been managing 2 different local pet food stores, where I’ve learned a lot about the needs of dogs and cats, and their body language. My old job had foster cats, so I have experience taking care of up to 10 cats at a time (feeding, litter cleaning, meds, and playtime). I also have pet sat for many of my friends and family members. I love walking! I enjoy taking my own dog on short walks or really long walks to get his energy out. I have experience with high energy dogs that may pull or not be comfortable around other dogs or people. I also have experience with puppies, kittens, and special needs pets. I’ve owned 2 disabled dogs that required diaper changes, meds, and regular bathing and cleaning up after them. Please note that my rates are a starting rate, and if you are more than 6 miles from me, I may charge a travel fee to compensate for gas and wear and tear on my vehicle. I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I start the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!
“I would highly recommend. They were very friendly when we met. They took care of my little puppy so well! There was lots of pictures and details given after every visit. They went above and beyond with the items I requested. Never late and stayed the whole time.”

“Faith was very professional and I felt completely confident leaving my young puppy knowing she would be dropping in to see her. Will book her services again for sure!”

“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified
About: ive been around dogs whole life and wanting to lend a helping hand to other fur parents who need someone to check in on their babies! I am currently a student finishing up my last year and CNM. i work part night nights on the weekends and school during the day but can be pretty flexible with whatever is necessary have 2 dogs who just turned 3 who are fairly high energy so lot of walks and sniff spots in our area. i normally care for them during the day and my boyfriend and I will walk and play with them in the evening after dinner to prep them for bed

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. To ensure the safety of both pets and myself, I require a meet and greet before accepting new clients and may decline bookings if I don’t feel I’m the right fit for a pet’s specific behavioral needs.
About: I have cared for my own pets, friends pets, and family members pets for decades, including multiple senior pets and those with specific medical needs. I work from home and have my own pets who are spoiled with constant company and attention to needs. I walk my own dogs in the morning throughout the summer to avoid the hottest part of the day. It is unlikely I am ever out of the house for more than 90 minutes, ensuring that neither your nor my own dogs are left unattended for long enough to become anxious. My backyard is fully shaded, fenced, and has a small pond. Even on the hottest days my backyard is suitable for lounging despite the high desert heat.
“Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.”

“Lauren did a great job communicating what was going on with my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her willingness to be flexible, like turning on the AC for him, when needed. She’s a kind person who’s great with animals, and I’d definitely recommend booking with her!”

I had to leave my two dogs home for a week. Kristen came every day, fed them and made sure they had fresh water, spent time with them, and watered a potted plant I had outside. I felt totally confident that my kids were safe and well. And I got pictures every day. The best part - my anti-social 14-year-old dog likes her.
Jen is just the best. Words can’t describe how much she genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. Its so nice to have peace of mind when I’m traveling to know my sweeties are in such good hands. I very highly recommend her !!

Wow! I’m super please and grateful for Dante! Life has been so busy with the birth of our new baby that we haven’t had much time to give one on one attention to our fur baby, Mia. Dante treated her so sweet, like she wa done of his own. She is 13 years old and he used our stroller to take her on her fav thing to do… walks around the neighborhood. Dante was on time, respectful, professional, and I would trust him with my fur baby Mia any day. He was super mindful of her needs. Will book again !

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my cat for the three weeks I was away! I really appreciated your updates, attention to detail, and how well you cared for her. I came home to a happy, healthy kitty, and that gave me so much peace of mind. Thank you!

Always so great with our cats! Our older cat needed medicine this time around for our second booking with Angela, and we were so thankful to have someone there to make him feel safe and comfortable. Would always recommend to anyone in search of a pet sitter!

Cerah took excellent care of my two cats while I was out of town! Even though they only needed drop-in dinner visits, she handled the task with aplomb. She was very communicative during our visits (even when my shy cats didn't give her much to report) and I especially appreciated her making time before we left to connect and go over their routines, their layout, and where we keep our supplies. It really put my mind at ease while we were away.
