Top rated Mesilla cat sitters

“I would highly recommend Shannan to look after your pets. She is very kind and attentive to the pets needs, as well as very communicative about how the kitties were doing and sending daily updates, photos and videos!!! It gave me peace of mind to know that my cats were in her capable, caring hands! Barbara B.”


“My boys were so well taken care of! They really enjoyed the play time, and everything went super well! I really enjoyed getting photos of my kitties, it lifted my spirits so much knowing that they had Pam and Kathryn there to care for and play with them!”



“Emily was an exceptional cat sitter to our baby Nala! She took great care of our cat, ensuring she was fed, entertained, and well-loved during our time away. She kept up great communication everyday. Her updates and photos kept us reassured that she was in great hands. She kept Nala’s areas very clean! Emily's attention to detail and genuine affection for animals really showed. We’ll definitely be booking her again for our future trips! :)”


“Jennifer is awesome. My kitties loved her and would follow her around everywhere. She took care of the kitties so well. They all looked happy when I returned home. I would highly recommend Jennifer. She is truly a great pet sitter. I plan on booking her for December. Thank you so much for all the care you gave my kitties.”


“Second time using Rebekah for my little fur ball. Quite the upstanding individual and was able to accommodate on relatively short notice. Always goes above and beyond anything I ask for. Someone I can genuinely trust to watch over him and the house while out of town.”


“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”



“Diana and Mark are our go-to dog sitters, and we couldn’t be happier with their services. We regularly use them, and our pups just love them. They take exceptional care of our pups, providing us with peace of mind because we know they are in caring hands. Highly recommend Diana and Mark! I can’t say enough great things about them!”


“Amy and Eli took the best care of Teddy I could have wanted. I took an 8 day vacation, using 2 visits a day. I got notified at the start and end of each visit. I got photos and a short update. The photos are adorable and keepers. I came home to find Teddy stress free. His coat was beautiful and he is his usual laid back, loving self.”


“Bethany was great, very communicative and flexible! Both cats were well cared for. She gave medication to one cat and was very understanding when he was being uncooperative. Would definitely book again.”


“Sonya is an amazing human being who goes above and beyond when taking care of your loved one. I had to find a different pet-sitter last minute and she was the perfect choice. She took care of my cat, Pita, with the most absolute delicate and proper care. I am so grateful. Thanks Sonya!!!”


“Tommie took great care checking in on my cat Bear over the recent holiday. She is a good communicator and left check in notes that put my mind at ease while away. I would rebook with Tommie.”


About: Hey there! I'm Tara Marksberry, and I absolutely adore animals! With 15 years of experience in pet sitting, veterinary offices, shelters, and boarding facilities, I've had the joy of working closely with furry friends of all kinds. I'm certified in pet CPR and first aid, and I pride myself on being dedicated, punctual, and loving in all aspects of pet care. Your furry companions deserve nothing but the best, and I'm here to ensure they receive just that. Thanks for your time, and have a wonderful day! I work full time from 8:00am to 5:00pm on the east side of Albuquerque. I am completely comfortable staying in your home and will generally remain there unless I’m running to the store or heading to grab something for dinner. Depending on the proximity of your home to my employer I may be able to conduct afternoon drop in visits. Early morning feeding or medication schedules are no problem! While at your home your pets safety is my first priority. I will never leave your pet unattended in the yard and make a habit of checking gates and fences while we’re outside. I will never open the front door in a manner that could allow a pet to escape and will not invite any unauthorized guests or my personal pets into your home. I like to provide picture updates to you throughout the stay so you can rest easy knowing your pets are happy and healthy. I do prefer to have written care instructions to reference so I make sure I’m taking the best possible care of your pets.

About: Give your pets the compassionate care they deserve when you're away! My 15 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience, combined with over a decade of personal pet ownership, means your furry family members will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a special affinity for senior pets, understanding their unique routines and comforts, thanks to my experience with my older cat. Let me provide the peace of mind you need, knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved in my care. Currently going to school so I have plenty of time to check on your furr babies throughout the day. I am free early in the morning and evening. Rest assured, your cats and dogs will be in experienced and playful hands! My own two sweet indoor cats thrive with plenty of toys and two large scratchers, so I understand the importance of keeping indoor felines happy and entertained. I absolutely adore playing with my own cats and dogs, and I'll bring that same genuine love and active engagement to your pets, making sure they feel secure and well-cared for in their own environment.

About: I’ve always had a variety of pets in my house. Growing up my family cared for dogs, turtles, fish, hamsters, frogs, hermit crabs, and chickens. We never owned a cat because my mom is allergic to them but since I moved in with my auntie during university, I have lived with one and have loved it! With my grandma, we currently have 6 dogs! We had two (a chihuahua mixed with poodle and another mixed dog) who are the parents of the other four. I was the only one in my house present when my doggy gave birth to all her babies and I was more than excited to be there with her :) I’m a full-time university student at NMSU. I made this account because I plan to be available everyday during my breaks. This might change for a couple of days but I’m not sure yet. Since I will be on break I also plan to be available nights and weekends. My dogs are family dogs and live outside. I don’t have a house of my own but live with my grandma and mom along with my three siblings and one cousin. The dogs are cared for amongst all family members.

About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. My family always had animals growing up. For a long time, we had 2 dogs and 3 cats. Now I have an old grumpy dog who I take care of with my partner, Jo. Our dog now is a Great Pyrenees and Alaskan Malamute mix. When I lived with my parents, I helped them look after a Swiss Mountain dog and a beagle mix. Before that we had Lab/Rottweiler mix- so I'm pretty good with dogs of all sizes! I've also grown up with all sorts of cats and love them just as much as dogs! I just finished my masters and am taking a break, so my schedule is routinely free! There will certainly be days where I have plans, but be it giving your dogs a potty break or spending the night to take care of some animals, I will most likely be free to do so! I'll be sure to send pictures of your fur-baby throughout the time I'm taking care of them so you know your fluffy buddy is happy, safe, and having a good time.

About: My whole life I've been surrounded by pets. I was born into a house with a bird and 2 dogs, but once I turned 5 I had convinced my mother to bring home a cat from the grocery store after absolutely falling in love. Years down the line I moved and eventually had 4 dogs that I walked, played with, fed, bathed and mostly took care of myself. With time I moved in with my brother to help him take care of his house with 11 guinea pigs, 3 cats, and a leopard gecko! Once I turned 18 I was finally able to adopt my own cat, and since then I have adopted another one and who brings me so much joy. I love all animals and will take care of yours like my own! I am free everyday, weekdays and weekends! I am willing to change my schedule around to fit your needs as Rover is my main focus at the moment! Safety is always my number one priority. I do my best to keep my eyes on pets at all times to make sure they're not doing something they're not supposed to or getting into things they aren't supposed to. For walks I will never just lazily hold onto the leash, instead I'll be prepared like they can run off in any second. When I feed pets I watch them to make sure they don't eat too fast and throw up, and try to encourage them to drink water as well as check to see if they need to go to the bathroom when they're done. If I'm watching a pet and they show any sign of distress it's of immediate concern to me and I will be contacting the parents, as well as a vet if needed. If you entrust me to take care of your pet I will ensure they receive the best care possible until their favorite people get home! :)
