“Holly and Robert took excellent care of my boy at doggy day care. They provided updates and have an obvious love and passion for caring for dogs. I appreciated their knowledge of dog behavior and understanding of when it is appropriate to intervene. Ziggy came home absolutely pooped, so I know he had a great day with them. I will absolutely be reaching out to them again for any future pup care needs!”
“J Sue is a little melancholy by nature but she loves the days she gets to spend at Sam’s. As we get close to Sam’s, Jessie’s enthusiasm goes from about 20% to 100% from the time we turn on the street to time we get to the front door. A day at Sam’s can lift Jessie’s mood for days.”
“Rita is always great with our dogs. She was kind enough to let me add our new dog with very short notice. She is wonderful with dogs of all sizes!”
“Brian is great - our dog is pretty shy, but he has been really patient with her and now she is excited to see him and the other dogs. He is also great at communicating quickly. Very thankful to have a safe, fun place for our dog to go.”
“My dog had a blast playing with the other dogs at the house! Brittany was great to communicate with and very flexible with scheduling. I will definitely plan more play dates with her and her pups!”
“Wonderful communication. Stella is thriving in environment. Really helping her to keep up her dog socialization and to get more comfortable with humans.”
“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”
“Onrae agreed to watch my dogs on short notice. He was extremely flexible and good at communicating throughout their stay with him. They were both happy to see him again the next time they went!”
“Nori had a great time with Mike and Rojo! We had her stay for the day while we visited family. Mike took the request even though it was a little last minute. We’ll definitely book with him next time we’re in town!”
“First time for my dogs to experience doggie day care. They returned happy, a bit tired (a good thing!), and I suspect they'll look forward to their next experience. Cassi was very attentive to their needs.”
“Christina is so good for my pup! My dog has grown comfortable with her already. Christina also communicates well with me and I appreciate all of her service.”
“Charles was extremely professional and responsible and he took EXCELLENT care of my lab, Tamale, with the help of his dog, Shiso. He sent regular pictures of their walks, the dogs playing together in the yard together, cuddling for naps, and having meals and snacks- it was obvious she was in good hands. Tamale had a wonderful time, was thoroughly exhausted and most importantly, she was VERY well cared for. I felt so fortunate to find such a warm, wonderful home in my neighborhood with a kind human and his family to look after my girl while I worked and my husband was out of town. She already misses her new friends. Thanks again, Charles! We will absolutely be booking again.”
About: As a life long pet owner, I have had great report with animals of all sizes. I have trained and enjoyed a kennel free environment. All my dogs have had happy lives and great disposition with kids and other animals. I will provide a safe and loving home for your dog where they will receive a ton of love and petting. I love that my dog will follow me around and look for any moment to get petting and affection; even will force my bathroom door open, knowing I am a captive audience. I look forward to doing the same for your pooch. I have walked dogs both short and long distances. Thank you for your consideration and look forward to meeting your family member (dog).
“Absolutely the best sitter I've ever had! My dog can be a handful, but Arysta handes him with grace and a smile. He always comes home exhausted from all the fun he has. The only sitter I'll ever use”
“First time using a pup sitter, so definitely first time using Rover. It went great, especially since it was a last minute needed booking. Michael was just great with Rio! Thank you, Michael”
“This was my first time (and will not be the last) to use day care for Stella with Marlaena. She is very knowledgeable about every thing related to dogs and other pets. My Stella got to socialize with other pets, including dogs, a cat and a feathered pet. Stella is the only pet at my house and has no one to play with so I was very happy she got to have this fun experience. Marlaena sent me photos throughout the day and messages about how Stellas day was going, what she was doing throughout the day and the fun she was having. I will look forward to having Marlaena providing day care again and I know Stella will too!!!”
“Jennifer was very flexible with our schedule. She is very friendly and our dog did not have any problems with her pets. I strongly recommend her sitter's service!”
About: Genuine fun loving animal person. Been in the caring and general services for most of my life, jack of most. Certified dog walker with KC Pet project volunteer program. Open schedule, currently doing gig delivery so out and about most days. Familiar with the area, honest trustworthy and caring. Routine is appreciated but temporary is doable as well. I understand the want and need of a pet and for them to be treated with respect and cared for as much as we care for our selves. Very understanding and here to help in anything you need help with for caring for your loved pet.
About: Ever since bullying my parents to get a dog at age 10 (I threatened to move out and they caved!), I’ve been hooked. From puppies to seniors, terriers to huskies, I love them all and have the privilege of taking care of them through sickness and health, youth and old age. As a teacher with a flexible schedule I’m home all day Friday-Sunday and all holidays. My husband also works from home and is part of our care team. We currently have one dog and he is a huge part of our lives - everything we do, he does. Expect your pet to be treated like family too! We live in the Sandia Mountains and a walk in nature is just right outside our front door. Based on your dog’s preferences, we can go on gentle nature walks, hikes through the mountains, or even take the short drive to a local dog park for social dog play. Pets have access to all of our family living spaces and they can sleep anywhere they are comfortable, although we love having them in our bedroom with us at night. We have a safe, fenced yard with an optional dog door so anytime your pet needs a potty break, they are welcome to go.
About: I've owned and taken care of pets my entire life. Family and friends have relied on me to watch their furkids for many years. I'm semi-retired and have the time and love to look after your pets. I have experience taking care of horses and chickens as well.

Our yard is completely fenced in, and there are great trails from our house for walking and exploring. We have two small dogs, two cats and two kids under eight. We are a loving home where are pets are part of the family.

13. Pam C.
“In a sea of inexperienced teenagers and wannabe dog owners, Pam rises above the rest. I've known and used Pam for years as my dog caregiver simply because she is the absolute best. As a lifelong dog owner, she knows everything when it comes to diet, exercise, discipline, medication, and playtime. I rest easy on vacation knowing that my dog is having her own vaction when she is with Pam. I assure you, you will not find a more loving, responsible, and compassionate caregiver on this site.”
