Doggy Day Care in Nob Hill, Albuquerque

“Kind, patient, helpful, friendly, professional… Those are just some of the words I would use to describe Holly and Robert. I’m very thankful for their help with my standard poodle.”

“J Sue is a little melancholy by nature but she loves the days she gets to spend at Sam’s. As we get close to Sam’s, Jessie’s enthusiasm goes from about 20% to 100% from the time we turn on the street to time we get to the front door. A day at Sam’s can lift Jessie’s mood for days.”

“Kimberly was very patient with Rio, who was very intimidated by her beautiful, big Ridgebacks. Kimberly seemed very willing to let them get acquainted slowly, but Rio was shy and needs more experience with other dogs. Kimberly followed all my instructions for feeding and treats. She has a big yard and a large shaded patio for the dogs. They are able to also go into a big enclosed garage- like space to get out of the heat or cold.”

“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”

“Nori had a great time with Mike and Rojo! We had her stay for the day while we visited family. Mike took the request even though it was a little last minute. We’ll definitely book with him next time we’re in town!”

“Onrae agreed to watch my dogs on short notice. He was extremely flexible and good at communicating throughout their stay with him. They were both happy to see him again the next time they went!”

“Peter took great care of my high energy black lab Birdie. Birdie and Peter's dog Mia hit it off right from the get go. Would not hesitate to leave Birdie with Peter anytime. Planning her next visit now.”

“I am so glad that Maggie took care of Sol. My little Sol immediately liked her and walked in like it was her house. Birthday is the cutest friendliest dog ever. And I cannot express how grateful I am for your care with my baby especially during a stressful week.”

“Marcelle was great with my dog. She was accommodating to Koda Bear who doesn't like cats. She invited me in to see where he would be staying and he had a great time with her. ❤️”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).

“Jessie is such a good dog friend. Juniper loves it at her house”

“If I could give Corinne 100 stars I would!! She was so gentsl with my dog. She also send me updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. Her 2 dogs are the cutest and played with dog. Corinne is 1 in a million and I highly recommend!!”

“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”

“Mikayla loves and cares for all animals as if they were her own. She would take in any animal that needed shelter if she had the space to do so. She will be a wonderful pet sitter to any animal.”

“Alex was remarkable! My Gus has never been with a sitter and was in a house fire last week, which left him a bit traumatized. Alex took such good care of him, his wife crocheted a toy for him and I now know Gus is good around kids! Thank you so much for beeing so kind to my little boy and on such short notice!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤️”

“My dog absolutely loved it at Cindy's house!! It's my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but Cindy went above and beyond! You can tell she really loves dogs and knows what she's doing. I definitely recommend!”

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kenny! He has intense separation anxiety and Erin made a lot of extra effort to make him feel comfortable. He didn’t even seem to want to leave which has never happened before.”

“Melinda was wonderful! She was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior, and that put us much more at ease. Our dog is deaf, so it’s always a little stressful having him stay with someone else for the first time, but he had an amazing time, and we would absolutely book with Melinda again!”

“Gus had a great day with Devta and her sweet dog Olive! We received a number of photos, all showcasing how relaxed he was with her in her home and large backyard. I appreciate her experience in dog training and was so happy that she was willing to continue with Gus during his stay. He came home all tuckered out, which we know is a great sign of a happy pupper! We can't wait for Gus to spend more days with Devta and Olive!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years now. Both of our dogs are street rescues from Detroit and are now living there best life in the mountains. I have been a steady volunteer at a non-kill rescue. One of our dogs that we took care of was epileptic and had to take 12 pills every day + occasional seizures so I am very comfortable with medications and sicknesses. I am a freelance photographer so I am typically available during the week days unless I have a gig which is only about 3-5 times a month. We live in a super cute neighborhood in ABQ with a perfect fenced in backyard for all dogs! Lots of love and playtime throughout the day.
