***My books are closed for new clients for the remainder of 2026. If you are a previous client, please send a message to inquire about my schedule availability! :)*** Hello doggie, kitty and critter parents! My name is Blake (he/they) and I had previously been a veterinary technician/assistant for 8 years, working in both private practice and emergency and critical care. I am a UNM graduate and I’m attending nursing school. I have pets of my own and I know how stressful it is to leave your pet(s) behind while traveling or going for a night out. I have pet sat everything from pigs to dogs to chickens to horses, and much more! I absolutely adore all animals and will treat your fur (scale and feather too!) kids as if they were my own. I have volunteered and worked with veterinary clinics and animal shelters so I know basic pet first aid as well as warning signs of sicknesses. I have been pet sitting for 15+ years and have gained much more knowledge and fun activities to do with your pets. I hope to meet you and your furbabies soon! Resume and references available upon request. Ask me about nail trimming, anal gland expression, ear cleaning and other bathing and grooming services! Thank you for supporting my small business! <3

Blake was communicative and our two cats were happy when we returned after our week-long trip. Easy to work with and would recommend. Thanks Blake!

This was my first time using Rover and Blake made me feel comfortable right away. Blake was very professional and you could tell that they loved animals and truly cared about their well being. I received daily updates and pictures of my cuties as well as overall reassurance that all was going well while I was gone. Thanks Blake! I’ll definitely rebook in the future!

Blake took great care of our two senior pups and our house while we were on vacation. We appreciated the communication and photo updates of our gals, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip without worrying !

Blake stayed with our two Aussies while we went out of town for a quick overnight getaway. Blake was great to work with in every way, from the meet-and-greet, to communicating, sending us beautiful photos of our doggos, and taking great of them. Highly recommend -- thanks, Blake!

Blake took care of my home and my two pups. My dogs were well=taken care of, safe, and happy when I got home. Blake kept in touch, and sent me pictures of my sweet babies. I will definitely book with Blake again soon.
