For daycare and boarding: everyone has full access to home and backyard, pups are allowed on sofas and beds. I treat animal companions just like family members <3 We also do our best, as weather permits, to have one group outing/walk per day For housesitting: I am flexible according to individual client's needs, just ask! For walks and home visits/drop ins: I will accommodate any particular needs upon request. During the hot months, I drive pups for midday visits straight to park or shaded trails, always carry water, and consider breed-specific needs as necessary

Pet care experience

Going on 11 years of providing services as a professional dog nanny, and I am fully committed to excellence and quality care. The last couple of years, I have been primarily focused on my established, repeat clients only - but recently have lost several of my long term folks to senior pups passing away, as well as clients moving out of state. I am looking to reinvigorate my core crew of amazing furry nieces and nephews! I am a "stay at home" mom who would love to take care of your babies. My family and I, we are all-around animal lovers and advocates for natural and simple living. We have a chemical-free home and lifestyle, no harsh cleaners or use of pesticides, etc. Lots of energy, affection, kindness, attentiveness and love are what we can offer. My kids also love dogs and are quite gentle with small and larger breeds alike. Experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to late teens. Able to provide a healthy balance between the outdoors, play, and rest. Individual walks (as needed) as well as group walks are a daily routine. Socializing with other pups in a safe and easy going environment is key to my particular style. Our home is conveniently located less than 2 minutes from I-25 and 7 minutes from the Abq Sunport. We do our very best to accommodate special needs and requests, just let us know!
