About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals all throughout college so I have lots of experience! I’m very nurturing and kind and I even have my own kitty that is very friendly. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m work from home most days. I love to go to the gym and go on walks. I am a home body so on the weekends I like to cook and prepare for the week. A typical day with your animal looks like playtime in the morning and a walk in the evening! If it’s a cat I make sure to play throughout the day and especially at night so they and I sleep well! If I am going to your home I will read and relax with them when I’m not playing with them and I will feed based on your schedule for your pet.

Greg had worked with my dog a year and a half ago, and it was a very good experience. Sadly, that dog passed away but now I have a new dog and I reached out to Greg to see if he could help me get Scooby some extra exercise. He jumped right back in and is helping me and Scooby get off to a good start from the shelter! Greg is great with dogs, and very respectful when it comes to scheduling and communication

We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.

Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future!

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old and have watched pets for friends and family since I was a teen. Currently have two doggos. One 2 years old and one 9 years old. I have taken care of puppies, having house trained multiple dogs and have cared for senior dogs I work from home with a very flexible schedule on weekdays. So I have plenty of time for walks and playing with the pups. I am available to walk dogs multiple times a day. If your pup is staying with me they will gets walk and be able to go out for many bathroom breaks throughout the day. Since I work from home you dogs will never been left alone at any point. I have a fully fenced yard and two very well behaved dogs that love getting to play with other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed but since I work from home I am always able to keep an eye on them. I can take your dog on multiple walks, play with them in the yard, and make sure they go out for plenty of bathroom trips.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7 years. I love house sitting and spending time cuddling with pups or playing outside with them. I have experience giving elder dogs medications or following detailed care instructions. I have a full-time job and work in the office Monday through Thursday. Otherwise, I’m available to be with your pup at home taking care of them. I’m familiar with crate training, as I crate my own dogs when I’m gone. I’m always happy to a walk through of how to lock things up and set up things to keep your fur babies safe. For walking, I’ve used harnesses and gentle leads.

About: I've had large dogs since I was born and when I was young I remember going outside and feeding them with my mom and giving them treats. Now I have two small dogs I've had for 10 years that I trained myself, they know pretty much every basic command plus some that are more advanced. I also groom them myself such as brushing and bathing. I love walking my dogs and getting out of the house and getting fresh air, it always tires them out so they can sleep throughout the night. I'm available full time since I left Amazon in Feb. I will be able to give dogs or cats my full attention all day and night. I can take them out for walks or even give them outdoor time in my yard. I'm new to pet sitting in-home but I'm sure I'll learn along the way. I have a fenced yard they can play in and a park is close by to play at. I don't crate my pets but I can crate yours if needed.

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

About: Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve completed multiple courses focused on dog behavior, handling, and training techniques. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including timid cats, high-energy cats, seniors, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help! I just moved to Albuquerque from Austin Texas and I am currently looking for jobs right now so I am available anytime for your pets needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone in both your home and with your pets. I care for my own senior cat with patience, consistency, and close attention to comfort and routine, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I always take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and needs. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, medication, feeding schedules, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I treat every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home and animals are being looked after responsibly and compassionately.

About: Hi! I’m 20 and am currently a student at UNM! I’ve have cared for dogs and cats since I was 5. I’ve helped with bathing, basic training, and often take dogs on mountain hikes and other adventures! I’m kind, responsible, and love animals of all sizes. I have lots of free time this summer and would love to keep your pet happy, active, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible summer schedule, so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, or extended care throughout the week -I love making pets part of my daily routine! I live in a safe, gated home with a large, private, and secure backyard perfect for play and potty breaks, and I am also just a short walk away from downtown parks and pet-friendly spots for our outings. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

About: I have had dogs that I trained and took care of through the first 18 years of my life before I moved here to attend UNM. I occasionally watch my neighbors dog and helped train him when they were ill-equipped to do so. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. On Wednesday I have class from 10am-10:50am and 4:15pm-5:00pm so I am available between those times or after 5pm. I am available all day Friday after 1pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, I have class from 9:30am-10:45am and 2:00pm-3:15pm so I am available between those times and the rest of the day after 3:15pm. On Monday I have class from 10am-10:50am, 2pm-2:50pm, and 6:20pm-9:30pm so I am available between those times. this will update every semester. I only provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits your dog has. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. That includes regular walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. While staying in your home, I treat it with respect—keeping things clean, bringing in mail/packages, and making sure everything is secure. I’m reliable with timing and always show up when expected. I also send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well and you don’t have to worry while you’re away.

About: Have owned pets my whole life. Always looking to play with them and have a great time whether that’s taking them to play with other dogs, give them a belly rub, or cuddle! I used to live alone and care for my dog by myself. I would take him out at least 5 times a day, take him to dog parks and even take him on road trips. Pets are like family to me. I have to admit I sometimes treat them better then people! There is no dog I prefer over the next, and I love how each dog has a unique personality to give. They fascinate me, and if I could have a dog with me at all times I would no doubt!
