Pet Sitting Painted Sky

“Jessica is a fantastic cat sitter! She has watched my cat Cookie twice, and both times she was so thorough with her care and made sure Cookie got playtime and cuddles. I will always feel comfortable having Jessica take care of my pets :)”

“Marcus was amazing with our 3 dogs. We have a 90lbs German Shepard, 30lb medium dog and a small 15lb dog and he handled each so well. He is friendly, kind and very knowledgable. He treats our animals as if they were his own and they loved him!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I have experience with both energetic dogs and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a slower pace with extra attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing plenty of affection, supervision, fresh water, exercise, and updates while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer oral medications if needed, reinforce basic training routines, and accommodate any special instructions so your pet receives the care they’re used to at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting while maintaining a reliable routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by treating every pet like my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep pets supervised, provide a clean environment, and make sure they receive attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel secure while you’re away.

About: I have two dogs that absolutely adores me. Have a great rapore with dogs, they search me out in public. I am patient and loving and am known as the "puperoni lady". I have a doggie door and good sized yard. Play time is essential. I have had dogs all my life. I love giving attention and don't mind if they like being on the furniture or bed. My husband is also an animal lover. We always socialize our babies with travels and they are well behaved. We bath our dogs every two weeks. I look forward to meeting with you and your fur baby and will treat them as my own fur baby. I spend lots of time playing and interacting with my babies, talking with them and they vocalize excitement. They are well socialized as we take them everywhere. Dogs are allowed on furnitue and on the bed with us. We have lots of dog beds and toys for your babies to play with. Unfortunately, during a meet and greet, my Duchess suffered a brutal unprovoked attack from a "friendly" pitbull so I choose not to accept bullie breeds. I am retired, so home most of the time. Lots of toys and things to keep them busy. Play outside with babies. Large back yard. I have a fenced back yard and one friendly pup, recently lost our Scooter to the Rainbow Bridge. Grass and trees for shade. Would prefer having dogs in my home, instead of yours.

“Fantastic, and great care to my special girls while I was away. They have been a little sick and needed extra care, and Joel took great care of them”

“Again Katherine continues to surpass our expectations! She had a real knack for calming our high energy pups. Since we have never been seperated overnight we are going ro continue with visits and book overnights gradually leading up to a full blown vacation away. Not only is Catherine trustworthy, she demonstrates incredible patience, compassion, and excellent dog handling skills.”

About: I have experience working with an wide range of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, and goats. I treat every pet like family, providing patient, attentive care tailored to their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience, consistency, and love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I have a full-time 8–5 job, but I make time before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends give me dedicated time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding, medication, potty, walking, and bedtime instructions carefully, while giving plenty of affection, playtime, and individual attention. I want every pet to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their person is away.

About: Woof! Meow! Hello, my name is Al and I hope to soon meet you and your pet. My background in animal care began in high school when I was a dog sitter for local families during the summer while they were on vacation, and from there my passion grew! I am personable and calm, equipped to support each animal's unique needs, and thorough in my care and attentiveness. I am a proud parent to two cats and a senior rabbit at this time, and until I can bring a dog into the bunch I like to spend my time looking after yours with the same love and dedication. No matter how small or large, shy or outspoken, all pets welcome! This fall, I have very open availability while I acclimate to the surrounding area after a cross country move. I am aspiring to be open for requests in many different neighborhoods and different types of animals to get to better know the landscape. I am a non-smoker. I am respectful of house rules and ways of doing things and will defer to your instruction, while also leaning on my expertise in times where flexibility is needed. Adept to behavioral quirks, I take supporting your training protocols seriously and will always ask at first meetings what your animal is receptive to and how to respond when changes in their routine emerge. Especially experienced with separation anxiety, I am diligent in ensuring as I build trust with you I am also building trust with your pet and communicating with you throughout the sit.

“Tracy is the best and both my dogs love when she comes around! She is attentive and is great about communicating what is going on! We love her!”

About: Dogs have a very special place in my life and there’s nothing I love more than spending time with them. I worked for a couple months at a dog and cat boarding facility, I loved it and wish I was able to fit it into my schedule. I’ve owned all kinds of animals my whole life and currently have a senior dog, a cat, and 2 rabbits! I’m 18 and a high school senior, I have school from 8-2:20 on weekdays. I can house sit overnight and leave at 7:30-40 and be back before 3. On the weekends I can stay at your home all day or stop by every couple hours. I can provide outside time, walks, potty breaks, and crate time if needed. I’m comfortable feeding wet, raw, and dry food for both cats and dogs. I’m also comfortable with administering medications as long as the pet isn’t reactive.

“Kristle was awesome! She was very professional and caring with our cats. It was great to get regular updates and photos of our little ones. Thanks Kristle!”

About: I grew up in a house full of animals. As long as I can remember, my family has lived with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, lizards, frogs, snails, salamanders and all manner of wild backyard critters as well to attend. I was raised to respect these animals as well as attend to their needs. I believe love and respect go hand-in-hand, and I love creatures of all shapes and sizes! Since I was old enough to babysit, I was also pet-sitting! I believe that animals are not only our friends and our kindred spirits, but also our duty to care for well. I spent time working as a pet nutritional expert at a store in Austin, TX, and that experience only increased my passion for animals and their well-being. I love to travel, and know that it makes all the difference to leave someone you trust with your critters. My headline includes my vision statement; I endeavor to become a friend to your pet, and while you're away, provide my full presence, my dedicated care, and my joy at being with them. I'm a graduate student at UNM, so my class schedule is mostly afternoons right now. My cat's a rather needy fellow, so he's happiest when I'm home. I make sure to make time to spend with him on weekends, mornings, and evenings, and spend time making up for missed cuddles then. I keep his areas very clean, he drinks only from a fountain, and I keep him to a strict feeding schedule (much to his chagrin and occasional break-in attempts of the food container). My frogs, Gus and Markl, need live food once a week and clean water every day, and I maintain a heat lamp schedule for them as well, as well as regular maintenance to their bioactive terrarium. When my parents are out of town, I take care of our two dogs, Lilo and Clara, and nine chickens. The dogs need to be walked, the chickens need to be fed and their eggbox cleaned, and there's lots to do to make sure everyone is comfortable. Lilo's pretty anxious, and Clara's getting up in years, so I make time in my work schedule to return home midday to check on them if I'm out and about. Depending on your pet's needs, I'm flexible in terms of schedule. :) It's important to me that you are confident in your pets' safety and comfort. I will not take dogs outside without a leash, unless they are in a fenced-in yard, and I don't let cats outside unleashed on principle as I believe this makes them a danger to themselves, other cats, and smaller animals. You can expect photos from me of your pets if you'd like them, and if they let me I'll happily clean out eye-boogers, snuggle with them, and ensure that they have love and companionship during the stressful time you're away.

About: I’ve had been taking care of dogs since I was 5 years old. I’ve have multiple dogs at once (4: pitbull, Labrador, 2 Schnauzers) I’ve also been taking care of cats for more than 10 years. I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to care of your pets! I am currently seeking a part time Job so I can still do this job I have a fenced in yard, along with a dog and cat who are friendly with other dogs and cats! I however will not be providing boarding at my house

About: Hi! My name is Tamyra. I have three large dogs of my own and grew up working with animals — my first job was at a dog boarding facility, and I volunteer at Watermelon Ranch. I also spent two years as a live-in nanny caring for two toddlers and three pets, so I’m experienced with busy households and all kinds of dogs. I treat every dog like family and would love to care for yours! I’m available all summer! I’m graduating from UNM this May, so I’m very flexible and can care for your pets any day of the week. I care for every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. My pup Jilly is truly my best friend, and I bring that same warmth and dedication to every dog I care for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and joyful environment—keeping their routines, giving them plenty of affection, and making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved at all times.

“Jesus has watched my fur babies twice now, and I know my babies are always safe with him! He’s very communicative and kind. Will absolutely ask for his help again when we travel!”

“Abigail was great with our two boys and also took good care of our house while we were out of town. She was reliably prompt and sent great pictures for each visit! One day when Sly was "missing" she reached out to us to ask about hiding spots, and sure enough Sly was being sly :)”

“Daniel is so good! I can't recommend him enough. He loves on my dogs and treats them like his own. They don't get stressed at all when I need to go out of because they aren't cooped up in a kennel with lots of other dogs. They are at home sleeping in their beds and loving the attention Daniel showers on them. Gives me peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.”

“Ashley was wonderful with my two kitties while I was out of town. She was very attentive to their needs and made them feel so comfortable while I was away. Ashely even got my shy one to come out for pets! Thank you so much for everything Ashley!”
