Myra is an easy 5 star rating, no exceptions. She is a genuine animal lover. My cats were all quite content upon return. She is dependable and learns quickly. She always responds and usually initiates. Thank you Myra!

Cindy did a great job taking care of our three cats while we were away for 6 days. She was very reliable and punctual. I would not hesitate to hire her again.

Victoria was thorough, prompt, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat under her care for 2-1/2 weeks. I trusted her completely after meeting her, and she immediately connected with my cat who can be rather shy with humans. I will absolutely be reaching out to her for future vacations, and am delighted to finally have found a contact in my area. So grateful to her, thanks Victoria!

About: I am an avid animal lover and love my own dogs more than I like most people! I have watched and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members for at least ten years as a side job and just a hobby. I volunteer with a local animal shelter and walk their dogs at least once a week, and it’s the best time. I love interacting with animals and getting to be a part of their day. I work remotely, so I have my days and nights to walk, visit, and sit with your pet. They are my priority when I am with them and I love giving them all of the attention. My own two dogs have very different schedules. My 15 year old goes out potty at least every two to three hours and enjoys his short, but refreshing strolls. My 9 year old hates mornings and won’t probably leave the bedroom until much later. Her and I will go at least a couple miles on one of our walks and even then she’s not tired our! In my clients home, I always try to leave the home the way it is found after playing with your pet. I follow instructions to the letter when it comes to pet sitting, as I have had to care for senior dogs with special dietary and medical needs. If I have questions, I will always ask.

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’ve had a dog since I was around 10, so I’m very comfortable with daily care like feeding, walking, and keeping pets on a consistent routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and used to handling busy environments from my job, so I stay calm and focused. I make sure pets feel safe, get plenty of exercise, and receive updates while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I can provide consistent care, walks, and check-ins, and I’m flexible with last-minute bookings when needed. I always prioritize safety, routines, and clear communication with pet owners. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment and provide regular updates with photos. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and keep everything clean and secure.

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. My big love for all kinds of house pets has brought me to the desire to be a pet caregiver while owners are away for work, vacations or owner not being able to provide care for the pet in that moment. I have a lifetime experience with pets since throughout my life I owned and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Certified dog walker from IAP career college. Worked as a dog groomer for PetSmart from 2002 to 2006. Dog walker in the year 2002 in Dallas, Texas. I'm currently working as a care giver on Friday Saturday and Sunday. 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.

Rita sent pictures and videos everyday as she cat sat for us. Our cat is not as anxious as she was when we left her alone over a weekend. She is still healthy and did not cling to us too much when we came home. I recommend Rita and will be looking to see if she's available first for future bookings!
