“Marissa has stayed with our dog multiple times over the past year and she has done a phenomenal job every time. She always takes the best care of our dog and our house when she stays. Tucker takes oral and injectable medications and I am never worried when she stays with him. I know he is in the best hands.”


“Chase was fabulous. He took great care of our dog and home, and sent us so many wonderful photos. Having a dog sitter hasn't always been easy for our dog but Chase made it effortless. We will definitely utilize his services again. Peace of mind is priceless. Many thanks!”


“Angel is incredible. Sherlock and our other critters were extremely well taken care of, and the house was spotless. Angel sent photos and videos daily along with quick updates on how everything was going. We are so pleased to have found Angel and have already booked another stay!”


About: Dogs are my great addiction. I've owned dogs and walked and trained them all my life, but until I settle into my next job, I can't have a dog of my own again, so I'm petsitting and walking dogs for extra “dog time.” I have trained dogs for decades and now I also walk dogs at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. in the past, I assisted a vets, once in the mobile spay/neuter clinic in the Navajo Nation, and in a few other instances with wildlife rehab and injured animals. I kept all my own dogs into old age and love senior dogs. With my family I raised 2 litters of Shepherd puppies, and Ive fostered mothers and puppies at my home. I work part-time and online, and can fit my schedule around your dog, cat or housesitting needs. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors in any weather so you never have to worry that your pet's schedule will be interrupted. Your home is as important to me as your animal family and both will receive loving care and attention from me. I've cared for many homes in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado and have excellent references from clients, neighbors and friends to share.

“Stephanie was wonderfully caring of my 5-month old kitten. Extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. Was kind enough to pick her up and drop her off during the busy holiday season. Our kitten stayed at Stephanie's for 3 weeks and by the looks of it enjoyed her stay there with her other feline friends. Would definitely trust her with my kitty again:) Highly recommend!!”


About: What can I say, I love dogs!!! Iv'e been around dogs my whole life, beginning with my Husky that loved chaperoning me around our backyard when I was a baby. I'm very grateful to have the experience with a dog since youth! I was raised around other animals too, bunnies, mice, and hamsters. Lol but I bond especially well with dogs. I hope to make new memories with your pet if you choose me! I am flexible and willing to work around your dogs schedule and my own. We can work something out to meet both our needs of course. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can be available overnights if needed if you are going away on a trip.


“Carolyn did a fabulous job - dog and house sitting in our absence. She was able to handle both of our pups on long walks, and her talents as a photographer were apparent with all of the adorable photos she sent, along with the updates on the "kids." She also took care of watering plants and collecting the mail. We recommend her highly and without reservation for all of your pet and house sitting needs!”


“Danielle took excellent care of Zelda and our house while we were gone. She followed instructions perfectly and spent lots of time with Zelda, walking her every day and playing her favorite game. Would definitely recommend Danielle and we plan to invite her back in the future!”


“This is the second time Lydia has sat for us. We are so grateful for her care and love for our pups! She's sweet, attentive to details and a trustworthy person. Our dog ended up chewing some fabric and throwing up and she handled the situation in a way that didn't make us panic. Our flight got delayed and she offered to stay longer with our dogs. The house was sparkling clean. She's our number one sitter! Thank you Lydia ❤️”



“Jean-Philippe stayed with our three pets for almost three weeks. He was very attentive and was able to devote much of his time to our animals, which was necessary for our high energy puppy. Everyone was very happy when we arrived home and our house was left spotless.”


“Rowan provided an outstanding experience while pet sitting my standard poodle, Ghost. From the start, her communication was professional—she responded to texts within 5 minutes, answered all my questions thoroughly, and sent regular updates. Ghost adjusted well to Rowan – his first experience with a pet sitter. Knowing Ghost was in capable hands gave me total peace of mind during my four day trip. What I most appreciated was that she took him on long, adventurous hikes, ensuring he stayed active and happy. Rowan also kept the house clean and brought in the mail. She clearly takes pet care seriously. If you want a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter who brings a depth of experience and dog knowledge, I would recommend Rowan without reservation.”


“Hannah house/cat sat for us once again when we had an unplanned emergent trip. She was responsive to our request and accommodating even though it wasn’t the most convenient time for her. She is so very kind and conscientious that I feel at ease leaving my cat in her care. It’s a real gift! Thank you Hannah.”


“Corey took excellent care of my dog, and was super easy to coorinate and communicate with. I knew my dog was in expert hands with Corey, felt great about having her stay over at my house, and I came home to a calm, happy dog. I'll definitely look to her for future dog-sitting!”


“High praise for Jessica C. My dog Sunny took a liking to her immediately on our meet and greet. I felt confident that she was a great choice. Sunny was cared for, fed and kept safe while I was away. My home was equally cared for. I highly recommend Jessica C.”


About: I will treat your pet like royalty! I have a huge fenced in yard with trees and lots of room to run and play. I work from home and nothing makes me smile more than animals. The animals I watch over I give lots of love and attention, as though they were my own. That’s the honest care and love I bring to each new animal I meet. I've always loved animals. When I was a kid I thought for sure I’d be a vet, or animal researcher or zoologist so I quickly became my neighborhood dog walker, cat sitter, fish feeder, bird watcher, snake charmer, etc. the list could go on! Since then, I have enjoyed sitting for friends and family. I’ll never say no to hanging out with a fur ball. I have experience with small and big dogs. I am active, strong, able to lift 100+ pounds and I love to spend time to really get to know each animal's personality. (I'll give them some serious love and attention.) I will give baths, groom and administer meds with precision. Whatever your dogs unique needs are, I’ll meet them. I also have experience with injured animals and newborns (neighborhood kittens have a way of finding me.) Rest assured your dog will be in good, safe, loving hands. If you happen to have cats, look no further. I adore spending time with the feline kind. I’ve cared for several dogs, cats, horses and rabbits for the majority of my life and love animals. Depending on where you live, I love taking dogs for long walks, and know a lot of the Santa Fe parks or places to exercise - my favorite right now being: Rose Park, Smith Park and Frank S Ortiz Dog Park. Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or medications and instructions for feeding and/or bathing. Please only reach out if your dog is 100% house trained, older than one year and plays well with others. I am not able to dog sit dogs who are not house trained or have aggression issues.

“Christie stayed at our house for the first time last weekend. She was very focused on taking care of our home and especially our two small dogs. Her communication with us was also excellent. Looking forward to having her again.”

He is attentive to the owner’s and dog’s needs, and he communicates efficiently and promptly with the owner. If you have an active doggo, he’s definitely your guy. Mel takes them on hikes, drives, walks, parks, and will snuggle up to your dog at night to ensure love and safety for them. Awesome caregiver hands down!!”
