Top rated Rio Chiquito dog boarders

“Highly recommend Rachel! My puppy was so very happy, it was a caca for her. Every picture I received, Daisy Mae was smiling. Rachel added to my pups experiences with socializing and being around other humans ( she learned manners) I never expected to be so pleased! I will always book with Rachel!! Rachel is a fur babies Parent, dream come true!!”



“Tami was great! Everything from the meet and greet to her policies and her dog knowledge. We felt completely secure with our dog staying with her. It seemed our sweet girl had a great time too!”


“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”


“Angel is very knowledgeable and loves the “fur babies”. She went above and beyond with our old dog making sure she ate well and had her medication. I think both our dogs enjoyed their stay.”


“Athena was great with my dog. She’s extremely caring, forthcoming with updates, and attentive to details. She was flexible to add an additional day to her sitting. I highly recommend her services and am considering booking her for another sitting session.”


“Heidi is fantastic. Warm, caring, attentive, great communicator. Couldn’t recommend more. Bindi’s a great host as well! Our 8 1/2 year old dog Emmy stayed with them for two weeks (after our regular dog sitter had a last minute medical emergency and we were lucky to find Heidi). Emmy took a little time to get adjusted and Bindi (Heidi’s dog) gave her space and kept her cool. I’m really thankful to them both for giving Emmy such a welcoming, safe and fun place to stay. She loved the fenced-in outdoor space. And didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”


“I left my cats with Elthea and Joshua so i could go on a short vacation with my family. I expressed my concern about them never being around anyone else other than me and she sent me pictures of them multiple times to reassure me. They are great!”


“I believe that how your dog behaves as soon as you pick them up after a stay really says a lot about their experience with a dogsitter. When I reunited with Zoe after almost 2 weeks away, she was happy to see me but I could also see how comfortable she was with Gavin and his dog, Wana. Zoe behaved her usual happy-go-lucky self. What was even cuter was that Wana jumped right into my car with Zoe. They became good buddies. Gavin was an amazing communicator and Zoe seemed to really enjoy staying with Gavin and Wana. The daily updates and photos of the dogs playing and cuddling together were greatly appreciated. Zoe seemed to really feel right at home- I think that says a lot about how great an environment and experience Gavin provides to his doggy guests. Thank you Gavin and Wana. Zoe will certainly be excited to vacation with you and Wana again!”



“Marissa took care of Harry cat for 5 days. After meeting Marissa I was very comfortable leaving Harry cat with her. She gave me updates and pictures everyday. I would definitely recommend Marissa for your pet care. Thanks again Marissa.”


“She absolutely SAVED us when we had a last minute sitter cancellation due to some weather at home. She was able to accommodate us so quickly with zero issues. The dogs loved it there! Very satisfied! Highly highly reccomend.”


“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”


“Very communicative throughout. And my dog loved her from the first moment. Joy is very gentle and loving. It gave me peace of mind to know she had senior dog experience. And the fact that she works from home was a bonus for a dog that loves companionship!”


“Michelle was a terrific dog sitter, caring, attentive and I know my dog enjoyed his time at her house. She sent photos daily which I appreciated and her dog and mine got along great. Thanks so much!”


“We came to Santa Fe for a long weekend along with our dog, Dalton. There were some days where we had activities planned that unfortunately didn’t allow dogs so we hired Stevvi to care for our little guy for an evening and full day. Dalton was happy and relaxed when we picked him up and Stevvi was quick with communication during the 24 hours Dalton was in her care. Thanks so much!”


“Our 1yr old mini doodle had a blast with Genevieve’s 2 dogs - he knew where he was going the 2nd visit & was so excited! We had a blast while he had a blast - peace of mind. We will definitely see Genevieve & her sweet pups on our next trip.”


“Katie has been nothing but supportive and loving of our dog Simon. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning with her expertise and know how. I would strongly recommend Katie to anyone and will continue taking our dog to her every chance we get.”
