Pet Sleepover

I am friendly and believe that the energy you give out comes back to you 100000 fold! I am very positive and responsible. I would love to watch your pet and treat it as I would my own. I spend weekends working in Santa Fe, and can only watch your animals at your house during that time. The other part of the week I live in Albuquerque. I have my own business there, which allows me to have somewhat flexible hours at work. When I'm in Albuquerque, I live behind the store, and can have your dog with me or in the house. They can play outside with my supervision. I offer service in your home, my home or a mixture of both. If you're out of town I would be happy to watch your animals. I will accept large or giant dogs here only if they are very docile because I am very small and don't like to feel overpowered. I am willing to water your plants, take in the paper, and I have experience with other animals too. Thanks for looking! Why I love pet-sitting I grew up with cats, chickens, and peacocks. I've always loved animals and it just makes me happy to be around them. I got my first dog Koda 10 years ago, and became totally hooked! I started dog-sitting so she could have friends. Meet my pet I have a new addition to our house: a very sweet year old black Bombay cat Zeldie. She gets along with dogs so far and is very sweet with them. If your pets don't get along with her, I am able to keep them separate and comfortable. My dog Koda passed away a couple of years ago, and I haven't had time to train a new puppy just yet. About my yard I have a huge backyard between my house and my business which is maybe 1300 square feet. It is completely fenced in with chain link and wood fence, and locked at all times. My experience administering medication: I am comfortable with pills, but not really with a syringe. I have administered medicines in cats ears, as well as dogs eyes.

Dog Walking • Oct 10, 2025

Emilia is by far the absolute best, most trustworthy, professional and caring dog walker and person I have had the pleasure of knowing. I feel so fortunate to have met her through Rover. My little poodle loved her and I never had to worry about him when Emilia cared for him/walked him. Without a doubt, I will call on her whenever I am near where she is. I travel a lot and use rover for all my dog walking needs and I so wish she lived near wherever I am. You cannot go wrong in hiring her to care for your fur babies. Thank you Emilia and I will pass by the Albuquerque area often just so you can care for Dunkin'. I so appreciate you!

Emilia was wonderful with all of our animals! She was responsive to our needs, ensured that all of the pets were loved as they needed, and kept in contact with us throughout. Would highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to give them love and affection in the morning before breakfast and then get them some exercise, whether that be going for a walk or playing. I try to get them at least to a point where they can be calm during the day while I work. I take them outside for frequent breaks and then take them out again in the evening for a walk or time at the park. If I’m running errands I’ll bring them with me if it’s something they enjoy. If I’m watching them in your home, i’ll get them fed in the morning and then dedicate some time for them being outside or getting a walk in. I generally spend 2 to 3 hours in the morning with them and again in the evening.

Pets

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: I take dogs to a park nearby, around my neighborhood, or small hikes in the foothills. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Your dog will sleep in my house with me, on their bed or on mine with me. Time I'll spend with your dog: If your dog is well behaved they can come with me everywhere. Otherwise, I will let them out during this time every few hours, and be with them at least 3 hours in the morning and at least 3 in the evening. We can play with their favorite toys, snuggle on the couch, take walks and do some light training with treats. Extra house-sitting services Not a problem!
