Dog Walkers in Ranchos de Taos, NM

“I hired Holly right after I got my puppy and she has been a LIFESAVER. Not only does he look forward to walks with her, but she has answered lots of questions for me as I navigate puppy-life. She is so sweet and so knowledgeable, and loving with my puppy. I can not say enough good things!”

About: Reliable pet caregiver with a genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets in home settings, including daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and maintaining a safe, calm environment. I am currently changing careers and have lots of flexibility. Dogs are part of my everyday life as I have 2 of them at home. My partner is retired and provides constant care to our dogs, allowing me to be available for pet sitting outside the home. I am not looking to pet sit in my home. I am interested in pet sitting outside the home. My home has a full fenced yard, and my dogs have free access to the yard and home.

About: I am a writer and thus would be mostly at home with your animals. I lost my own dog in recent years, and find that I do best when I have dogs and cats to look after. I love being interrupted by a dog asking for attention and play! Walking is a joy for me. I specialize in tuning in to what anxieties need clear support and confidence to help build successful interactions. I welcome caring for animals with special dietary or medication issues. To have the company of a senior dog or a puppy is something I really look forward to. I organize my working rhythms around pet care. I enjoy having my work broken up with odd tasks and interruptions from animals. In general, providing pet care generally makes me more productive in other areas of my life. I like having a set walking and feeding schedule, and then everything flows from there. My work is portable on my laptop, so as long as I can have a perch to work at, I can be present for animals in the spaces they are accustomed to having company in. I do house visits, walking, and home stays. I enjoy staying overnight with animals because we can tune into each other. I try to get a sense of how the animal parent interacts with and supports their animal through daily routine, and then try to replicate that routine. I pay close attention to what they animals are saying about what they need, and what brings about their contentment.

“Tania managed a very unusual request: we had her pick up our dogs from our Venue and take them back to our hotel and feed them. We messed up giving her the key and it turned a bit chaotic and she handled it excellently. Can’t thank her enough for making sure everything still got done. She’s dependable and flexible and would recommend for any pet needs!”

About: Self-identified nature and animal lover, in transition from attorney to chaplaincy and mindfulness meditation teacher. I have cared for dogs for over 20 years, from zoomie puppies to slow-moving seniors. I am comfortable administering medication and feeding whatever combo of kibble+/-wet food your pup enjoys. Belly rubs and nature walks are always on offer. All are welcome here. I am home full-time and am able to supervise, care for and play with the dogs throughout the day. We begin each morning with an early one to five mile hike depending on energy levels and weather. The remainder of the day is free time to play, nap, repeat. Meals are usually at 8am and 4pm. In our home: Your dog will have free range of our entire home and fully-fenced acre with access to fresh drinking water at all times. There are several dog beds and toys around the house. Our resident pup Poppy is happy to share! Note: My doggie day care rate covers up to six daytime hours (between 8am - 6pm). We can add more time (starting at +$20) so you don't have to rush doing fun human-only activities. Special requests are always welcome.

About: I understand how much our beloved pets are part of our family! I look forward to helping you with your pet’s needs! You can count on me 😃 My schedule is flexible and I’m able to make myself available to you and your pets. Let me know what your preferences are and we I look forward to making this an easy experience for the pet and owner, please let me know what preferences you have and I’m very flexible and able to adapt

“Great first meet-and-greet with Caitlin! She is very friendly and is a very capable and loving dog-person, even with challenging dogs. We are looking forward to having her walk and stay with our dogs again soon.”

About: I'm an animal communicator and energy healer, so if your animals are in need of communicating anything to you I can relay that information. I've been around all types of animals my whole life and have always had a special way of communicating with them. I have a very calming energy that is very healing for the animals I care for. I’ve taken care of dogs and have been a pet sitter for over 20 years now. I'm a go to sitter for my friends, family, co-workers as well as their friends, family and co-workers. I’m very attentive to the animals needs and wants and can pick up on things intuitively that your pets are going through or experiencing. I treat every animal I care for as if they are my own and take the responsibility of caring for animals very seriously. I also will get down and play with them and interact with them on a soul to soul level. I understand that your pets are part of your family and I treat them as such. I often get told I take care of people’s animals better than they do. I have a deep love for animals and I always share that love with the animals I care for. I'm well-versed in administrating medication, dog walking and grooming. I had a job as a pet groomer, so if your animal needs a bath and brush during our time together- you can add that to our time together. Please note, I don't do nail trims or coat trims- only bath and brush. I also have a special skill set of working with breeds that are picky eaters and have digestive issues such as Shih Tzus. My schedule is flexible as I currently work remotely so I have time to spend with your pet and show them the attention they need. I’m also an introvert and empath so I don’t spend long hours away from the pets I care for. I’d rather be playing or hanging out with animals any day of the week. I'm available for overnight pet sits, check ins as well as dog walking. I take care of pets in client’s home with the utmost respect and care as possible. I take responsibility of the pet and home as if they were my own. If there are instructions left for the pet I will follow them to a ‘T.’ I also have the ability to intuitively pick up on the pets cues of being anxious, uncomfortable, happy, sad and any emotion in between. I'm very attentive on dog walks, always scanning the area for cars, other dogs, stray dogs, and people. Your dogs safety is my highest priority.

About: I am very good with dogs. I have always been the person to call within my family for dog care. I love going on walks and have a very flexible schedule to cater to what you and your dogs need! I have a very flexible schedule. I am a full time student so the only things I will need to work around are my classes, but i have a light course load coming up which gives me lots of time to spend with your pets. I love walks and I love exploring hikes in San diego. I have a dog friendly household with a few roommates who LOVE animals, so if your pet has to come to my place they only have pets and cuddles to look forward to. If I am at the pets house I plan on doing the same, but with only me.

“Kailey has been wonderful! She is so reliable and I know she takes great care of my dog! Lucy can be very shy and she doesn’t warm up to many people, but she loved Kailey!”

About: I have 6+ years of experience house-sitting and taking care of people's pets of all ages and breeds. Taking care of an animal and making them feel loved are two different things... I make sure to do both. I work remotely as a virtual assistant and content creator so my schedule is very flexible. I have two cats of my own that I get to spend all my time with. Whether it's just a drop-in or a walk, I provide you, your animal, and your home with respect, trust, and transparency. I can follow your lead and instructions while providing love to your furry friends.

“Had a long work day and staying in an Airbnb that’s a hard to reach location. Victoria was super flexible with everything and worked with me as I was on calls when she picked up and dropped off Harlow. He got his steps in (thanks to Fi tracker) and was exhausted for the rest of the day. Recommend!”

About: I've taken care of pets most of my adult life. I've rescued dogs, feral cats and volunteer time at a horse rescue as well. I love taking dogs for hikes and/or walks, or staying in with your pet. I've trained dogs and horses throughout my life and love all breeds! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care is something I can devote time to. I'm an avid hiker, so working in dog walking is great as well. I can pick up an animal for a walk/hike or walk from the clients home. I normally like to meet the pet and owner when possible and spend some time getting to know you & your pet, their routine so they feel comfortable and safe when I arrive for our first pet sit or walk.

About: Hey everyone! I am Izzi! I am a remote personal assistant & because of this I have lots of flexible hours. Apart from loads of childcare experience & nannying for many families with pets ranging from dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, I also frequently house sit & pet sit in the area Philly suburb area! I am super easy going & very flexible, I love all animals & being outside in nature. I grew up with two HUGE amazing & cuddly Bernese mountain dogs. Marshall, who is still with my family, has a ton of health problems, so typically feed him special food, provide his medication & ear drops when my parents aren’t in town. They have a place in FL & the Bernese would just be too hot in that climate so can’t go down with them! I am extremely active and enjoy yoga, hiking, skiing and running! I joined Rover because I have ample free time & would love to spend it loving your furry friends! I typically have 1-2 remote meetings a day between 9:30-1pm ET. During these meetings though I can provide house sitting services. Before & after these meetings I have tons of free time. If you need super early pet care, late/overnight care, & even during the day I am mostly free! I grew up with 2 large berneses! One is still living with my parents, who split there time between PA/FL so I often take care of him. He has TONS of health issues. He gets special mix of wet and dry food w/ coconut oil each morning, daily allergy medication, & ear drops. I’ve had to administer different medications for him as well such as fever medicine. I typically roll this medication in some cheese & that’s how he gets it down! I am capable of any type of care for any animal such as feeding, walking, giving medication, taking to the vet, taking to the park etc. My roommate also has a Pitt mix & is in Vet school, so I occasionally feed & walk him for her when she is busy. He is very enthusiastic & strong so I can manage these types of dogs !

About: I am a lifelong lover, owner and caretaker of animals. I was raised on a ranch and was around horses, chickens, dogs, cats and more for the better part of my childhood and have owned dogs and cats ever since. While I currently do not have any pets, I have dog and cat sat for friends and family for years and understand the importance of having trustworthy, loving people take care of your fur babies! I am currently working from home for 10 hours a week and trying to get a service industry job for 3-5 days a week. While my schedule is not concrete, I will be available for drop ins, walks, and animal sitting of scheduled in advance. I have a large fenced in yard and live in a fairly remote area. I love comforting animals, playing with them, and letting them know how good of boys/girls they are and that they’re owners will be home soon.

About: I am farm raised with lifelong experience caring for livestock, reptiles, cats, and dogs. House sitting allows me to learn more about the animals I love and support my studies. I am in school 3 days/week rotationally with additional flexible sales commitments. Feel free to reach out and I will be more than happy to work with your schedule. Whether it be going for a stroll or simply giving pup kisses and belly rubs, I find it important to spend down time with each animal to establish trust between us. When asked of me, I provide general and specific positive reinforcement training.
