Cat Sitting in Pecos

“Becca was an excellent sitter in every way! I received detailed updates and my cat had everything she needed while I was away. Becca went above and beyond by becoming one of the first people my cat doesn’t hide from- which was astonishing. All that I was hoping for was to make sure she had water and assumed that she would just hide under the bed. Instead, I came home to a very happy little girl, who really wanted me to know she had made a new friend. Highly recommended!”

“Madeline was wonderful with my two cats! They loved her and she sent photos of happy cats while I was on another continent— feeling secure that my house and kitties were in good hangs!”

About: Grew up working on a horse farm, have been cat & dog sitting for friends, neighbors, and for hire ever since I had my own transportation. Lots of experience as a foster volunteer working with shy puppies and reactive dogs. Firm believer in the power of mental enrichment and fear-free, positive reinforcement training. I’m and artist, writer, and part time marketer, so I get to make my own schedule. There’s plenty of flexibility in my schedule to ensure your pets get the attention and care they deserve. Understanding pet body language is something I’m really big on; if I see cues your fur baby is getting uncomfortable in any situation, I’ll immediately start looking for alternative ways to help them feel safe and relaxed again. I take instructions from pet parents as gospel, and strive to keep care as loving and consistent as if you would for your fluffy ones.

“James was awesome! He communicated well, is punctual but most importantly, the dogs loved him!”

About: After my dog Currito passed away, I realized how much love I still have to give. Caring for other dogs is my way of honoring him and sharing that love. I will treat every dog with patience, affection, and respect, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and truly loved. I am currently working full time but I am available daily after 3:45 pm. I can offer boarding on weekends after Fridays at 3:00 pm. I can take care of your pet at your own home or at my mine ( I live in an appartment) I adapt to your lovely fur friend.

About: I've grown up with dogs in my family my whole life. We've always had one. I love dogs and all animals. I understand the patience and care they require. I have my own border Collie Mix and she is highly trained. She knows 20 different commands! I can't wait to meet your family friend! I’m staying in New Mexico for the next few months and am seeking a small number of steady pet-care clients with a daily schedule. I have a genuine love for animals of all sizes, strong hands-on experience, and I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive in your home. References available upon request. Yo hablo español un poquito. Plenty of attention and pets. Walk 3 times a day. Take outside to use the bathroom 4 times a day (or when she needs to go) Lottie gets a special breakfast and dinner. She receives all the love and attention a pup could need.

About: I am a friendly neighborhood dog walker, available to care for your pets needs. Reliable, trustworthy, and a good communicator. I'm comfortable with cats as well. I currently work part time, and on my own schedule, so I am available to tailor my schedule to help better suit your pets' needs. I can come in a timely fashion to your home to feed, walk, and provide love and care for your animals. I have my own transportation and can take your animals to the vet in case of an emergency.

“Mel was Amazing with Margaret! They were very understanding when our plans changed and flexible with our schedule. Mel sent an update daily and very communicative! Will definitely book again! 😸”

“I had Kaleigh stop by my apartment daily for a week to check in on my cat while I was gone and she was fantastic! I could tell that my cat was well taken care of and loved. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”

About: Pets and animals are precious to me. I’ve had small animals and medium dogs all my life. They deserve the best loving care. I have watched cats for friends. I’m a retired 48 yr old and looking for jobs I enjoy. I’ve provided medication for my own. So I can do those things. I understand dog signals and read what they want most times. I can tell when they are feeling bad, scared and happy. I try to calm and provide security for them as best as I can. I am retired and available for your pet(s). I am available most days and nights. I do have a couple days that I have Zoom meetings for couple hours which are Thursday 7 to 9:30 pm and Sunday’s 10-11:50 am. Some Saturday morning’s but I am flexible. I can pick up pets 3 hrs before these hours. I have a wide open yard but I don’t let dogs just roam on their own. I walk dogs outside on leashes. Most of my small dogs stay inside for safety. I walk my own dogs at dog parks when no people are around or go for small outings to get fresh air and a walk. I can watch at my place or near your place or hotel. Whatever makes you feel at ease and comfortable. My daughters small dogs are friendly. There are 3 yorkies and 2 chihuahuas. There is a room I can keep them to feel safe if they feel afraid. They can roam around the house. They are in safe loving hands because I want the owner to feel at ease and not to worry.

About: I grew up taking care of a big, sweet lab and spending time with my extended family’s large dogs. Since then I’ve had the privilege of bonding with the dogs of friends and past partners. I’ve been professionally dog sitting full-time for 2+ years, and off and on for 5. I follow the lead of the dog owner with commands and whether to have the dog(s) on leash or not. I’ve had many experiences of simple neighborhood walks, longer hikes in the wild, dog parks, car rides, giving medication, taking the dog to the vet when needed, and lots of playtime and cuddling. :) I love getting to know the unique personality of each dog I care for, and I do my best to make sure they have quality time and care while their person is away. I am a homebody + I am building an online business, so I am available to give steady presence to the pets, plants, and home I’m caring for. I value clear, direct communication, and I appreciate having detailed directions on how you would like me to care for your pet(s) and home. I’m very self sufficient and capable of dealing with unforeseen circumstances if they arise. I keep my space tidy and clean and will leave your home in as good or better shape than I found it. Please provide a clean and welcoming space for my arrival. I am careful to lock all doors/secure your home, bring in your mail and packages, and water your plants.

“Angel did a great job. She was on time for visits, sent lots of photos and contacted me when necessary for questions. Through her communication she put my mind at ease that my kitties were being well cared for. I will use her again.”

About: As a devoted pet sitter with over five years of experience, including a professional background as a veterinary assistant, I bring a heartfelt blend of expertise and genuine love to every pet I care for. I’m passionate about animals, and my extensive experience ensures that your furry friends receive top-notch attention, whether it’s for their daily needs, special care, or in an emergency. I know every pet is unique, and I customize my services to fit their individual personalities and requirements, offering not just care, but also companionship and affection. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in the hands of a seasoned professional who treats them like family. Taking care of pets is my passion, and I love making it a part of my everyday life. I’m here for all the meals, playtimes, and overnight snuggles, ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for around the clock. My Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins and Feedings: Each day starts with saying good morning to your furry friend and making sure they have a hearty breakfast. It's a special moment where we check in and start the day on a positive note. Exercise and Playtime: After breakfast, it's time for some fun! Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or some gentle play indoors, I tailor each session to match your pet’s energy and mood. Regular Breaks: Throughout the day, I make sure your pet has plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, meals, and some downtime. These regular breaks keep their routine predictable and comforting. Overnight Stays: Continuous Care and Companionship: I know some pets need that extra bit of companionship at night, so I offer overnight stays to make sure they never feel lonely. We’ll stick to their usual bedtime routine, creating a peaceful and secure environment for a good night's sleep. Calm and Secure Environment: I’m all about keeping things familiar and comforting, making bedtime a smooth transition with lots of cuddles and reassurance. Flexibility and Dedication: Adaptable Schedule: Life can be unpredictable, and I’m always ready to adjust my schedule to meet the unique needs of your pet. Whether it’s an extra play session or a last-minute overnight stay, I’m here to help. Attentive and Loving Care: Above all, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them all the attention and affection they deserve. With me, your pet is not just cared for—they're cherished. Every meal, every play session, every quiet moment is a chance to show them love and make them feel special. When it comes to caring for pets, I always tailor my approach to the unique needs of each furry friend to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, I create a welcoming and secure environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I stick to a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, exercise, and fun enrichment activities to keep pets both mentally and physically stimulated. For those with special needs or health concerns, I develop personalized care plans and closely monitor their well-being.

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.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was ten years old. Have raised puppies into adult dogs. From walking, feeding, to overnights, canines are a huge part of my life I’m a creative consultant who recently finished my MFA at Columbia University who is interested in fresh air and furry friends when he’s not working I have a fenced in yard to care for your dog overnight and neighbors who are dog lovers too. I’m also willing and able to care for your pet in your home

“Melanie was very communicative with her updates about the kitties. Would definitely rebook and recommend her!”

About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.
