“I would highly and heavily recommend Erica to anyone! Not only is she extremely kind, but she had no issues with the amount of detail I provided for my fur children. She also always provided amazing updates and photos which made me feel so reassured while being away. She communicated frequently if anything came up as well. You will not be disappointed if you choose her.”

About: My name is Juliette Conzuelo, I been working with animals for 10 years now. Now being around other peoples fur babies is my part time job that I enjoy soo much. I will give full care and love toward the animals you hold dear to your heart and treat them as my own giving them their space and patience to letting them to get to know me. I make sure to play and walk animals and that they are promptly fed during their accustomed feeding hours and make sure any medicine is taken when needed. I always make sure water bowls are filled. I have six babies of my own, four dogs and two cats and I am fortunate that my little babies have uplifted my spirits on bad days and in return I like to give them the joy of just being outside for a hike or go backpacking, playing or cuddles! I can do housesits from San Felipe to any where near by Jemez, Santa Ana, Bernalillo, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Albuquerque. For check ins and dog walks I prefer to be close to home from San Felipe to anything in between Rio Rancho.I do check ins at 10am - 6pm. Dog walks are also from 10am-6pm. I will not do any boarding or pet care at my own home. I have too many animals, would not want to overwhelm any animals.

About: I'm the one that has helped a toad cross the road, I've bottle fed goats growing up. I will catch bugs in my house and make sure they go back into nature. Hanging out with animals makes my heart happy. Administration of meds and giving them the love and attention they need is important to me. I've had pets since I was 5. I have had cats and dogs all my life, never not having them around.

I can help keep your furry friend feel comfortable with me and not feel like a whole lot has changed when their best friend isn't around.
About: My name is Yolanda Patricia. I understand that most of us pet owners love our little ones as part of our family and the importance for a reliable, loving, caring nanny who can nurse and care for pets.

This schedule opens a 4 day window for me to take care of pets. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are available days when I can fit your pets in my schedule for potty breaks, medications, meal time and dog walking. When I come in the first thing is to make sure pets are fine by observing their behavior, guide them to their potty break or play time, check mail, lights in the house whether is day or night, check door locks, make sure pets have a clean area, food and water.

Lisa T.
“We had Lisa house-sit and watch our cat while we were out of town. She kept us updated all week and left the house just as we left it. Would definitely book her again!”
Patricia A.
“Hello, as Patricia's son I can personally attest first hand that Patricia is a very caring and responsible animal (pet) caregiver. Growing up we had numerous pets that included, Iguanas, Snakes, tarantula spider, birds, American hedgehogs and multiple dogs, Patricia always took care of them, from feeding to training. She learned and taught our Basset Hounds obedience and trained them for beauty shows as well as obedience and obstacle shows, she also has a certification in pet grooming. When it comes to pets, she is very knowledgeable. Patricia babysits for our two dogs, one cat and multiple fishes when we go out of town and we always feel reassured and can count on her to be there and properly take care of our pets. Also she seems to form a wonderful personal and lasting relationship with the pets. From my personal knowledge on her poet sitting and caring, I would recommend her as a pet sitter, you and your friendly pet will not regret having her as a caregiver.”
Sierra D.
“I can say with total confidence that there’s no one more perfect for dog sitting than Sierra. Her background as a vet tech means she’s not only incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to animal health, but she’s also calm, capable, and professional in any situation. I’ve seen her lovingly care for animals of all kinds—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs—and every single one seems to fall in love with her instantly. She’s experienced with administering medications and even giving injections, which gives me total peace of mind when my pets need a little extra attention. But beyond all that, what really stands out is her heart. She has such a deep, genuine love for animals—it’s part of who she is. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family and care for them with both skill and compassion, she’s the one.”
Gretchen A.
“Gretchen is a dedicated dog lover and ideal caregiver; she takes the emotional and physical needs of every pup seriously. She has experience fostering and rescuing dogs (including dogs with behavioral issues), and in all cases she naturally and instinctively provided them with the patience, care, and attention they deserved. She volunteers at the local shelter. She says hello to every dog she meets. Your pet will be in careful & loving hands.”
