I hired Michelle to care for my dog Ranger, who had never been left with anyone before—and she was absolutely wonderful. She kept me updated throughout his stay with regular pictures and notes, which gave me real peace of mind. It was great to see photos of Ranger playing fetch, going on walks, and spending time with her sweet dog CJ. He looked relaxed, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Michelle is attentive, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again when I am back in Santa Fe—highly recommend! Thanks Michelle!

Michelle is very professional and flexible with our arrangement. She kept us updated and sent me photos of Goldie. We were able to enjoy pur short vacation in Santa Fe. Thank you so much Michelle!

Michelle was incredibly patient and accommodating throughout the booking process. She provided excellent care for my dog, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the area and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.

I’m a grad student who’s in a hybrid program. I love to work from home and have the pet-sitting flexibility. I understand what it’s like to be away from your pets/loved ones. Therefore, I wanted to extend a helping hand and help you feel good about your pet being taken care of when you’re gone too.
