About: I have owned a dog since I was 5, and cats shorty after. I have always been a huge animal lover and have owned my own dog throughout the years. Currently, I have a 13 year old Boston Terrier/Boxer mix and a 1 year old cat. But my love doesn't stop with them! I love taking care of any furry friend & have for many years. How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I work from home so I have the ability to tailor my schedule to fit every need! We are home most of the time so our babies are indoor pets! We allow our dog to sit on the couch and sleep in the bed for maximum cuddles! Furry friends with more rules will abide by those (no secret couch sits) but will still receive all the love and attention they need. Walks are given with playtime for the most stimulation.

“Shows up on time ! And my dog loves her !! Thank you”


“Awesome job! Does a great job with my dog and with communicating back and forth with me!”


About: I've been taking care of dogs off and on my whole life, from my own, to helping family and friends with their own.

If there are any scheduling contlicts on my side, I will be quick to inform you. I currently don't have the space to host other people's pets at my place. I will be sure to follow any safety guidelines you may have and will inform you of any issues immediately.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs/cats as well as families pets, I can create a big connection with animals, especially dogs, I have a big heart for all animals I’m currently a stay at home mom of a 1 year old and she loves animals just as much as me, walking dogs or having to go visit them would get us out of the house and we’re almost always free. I do have a little Banana Bread side business too. I have a fenced yard, 3 dogs (a great dane thats a bit older, a chihuahua and a blue heeler mix) and one cat, the cat is an outdoor cat. Our dogs haven’t been around too many other animals besides families dogs but once they meet new dogs and get to know each other they can get along well with them.

About: Full time caregiver. I have always grown up with many pets including dauchsands, pitbulls, English bulldogs, parakeets, and even turtles. I do not have any pets currently besides my parakeet, but I am great with almost all. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats! Happy to pet sit in the Albuquerque area as well! I will water if anything needs to be watered or packages brought in during stays! Santa fe can be arranged for longer stays. I am available full time & I will give your pets all my love and attention! I enjoy being active so walks and/or hikes are a plus! I am very cautious and live in a home with a very high 6 foot brick wall and large back yard. It is perfect for running around and safe as well, as well as lots of indoor space!

“Lauren I appreciate your extra efforts that you made with Sadie this past weekend.Thank you for being thoughtful, sweet and dependable ??”

I have a variety of pets and they all are very well cared for. All my dogs from large to small live on plush when they aren’t busy having fun and being active .

About: Taking care of my dog for 12 yrs. Professional experience includes having worked at Petcoral Veterinary Hospital and Resort doing boarding and sitting in daycare along with helping veterinarians administer meds & etc. Senior care, med admin, nail trimming and bathing, caring for 30 plus dogs at once. Pet care fits into my daily routine because i'm working on various projects at home so i prefer not to be employed full time. I enjoy the freedom of working odd jobs and the enjoyment of meeting new pets/people. I'm happy to do whatever you need me to for your pet/s and make sure all their needs are met. I live in a van so i don't care for pets in my home but i'm happy to take them on walks and care for them in your home.

About: Reactivated 6/2025. I have a great amount of experience with dogs & many animals. I have been taking care of mostly dogs for 7 years now. I professionally boarded dogs in my past homes in Hawaii and Washington, d.c. I made bonds with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, & genders. I always adapt to each dog as they are unique. I am always striving to make them as comfy & stress free as possible in my care. I also enjoy living an active lifestyle & seeing a dogs smile while on a walk adds to my day. I like to make dogs feel as though they are on vacation, yet I enforce what my clients do in their own homes to maintain. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make our experience better. I look forward to connecting with you & your pet! If we are not able to do a Meet & Greet... I understand last minute things come up. If there is a time where we are not able to meet, I will ask questions about your animal through Rover. I am comfortable asking questions & you answering them honestly over message before drop off. We can also Facetime or Zoom if you would like to and/or prefer. I do work full time alongside taking care of pets. I am willing to help and accommodate when possible. Message to discuss details. Thank you! I take care of any and all pets as if they are my own. Animals are the most innocent and loving beings that deserve the world for their short lived lives.

About: Hi, I am a full time pet sitter which means I am home with your pets during the day and all night. I have fostered and rescued animals for 16 years with various rescue groups and city shelters. Animals bring pure joy to my life and I will give individual care to each animal as if they are my own. Your pets will get one on one care in my home which is fully fenced on an acre, and I have 3 separate yards that are individually fenced. I am also a yogi, Reiki practitioner and an artist. I have two large dogs that will not be interacting with your pets and are kept in a separte part of the home. I am very flexible and eager to help you and your pets in any way. I will always send you pics throughout the day so you can see how they are doing while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies. I am home full time and will make your fur babies my top priority. During my days I'm usually creating art with your kiddos under foot which brings me pure joy. My home is divided into two sections. I keep my fur babies at the back of the house with their own courtyard. While your fur babies will stay in my art studio / guest bedroom with their own yard. While their stay I spend my nights with them in the guest bedroom as they usually feel pretty lonely away from their family. I find this helps ease any anxiety they may have while staying with me.

About: I have a very close connection with animals and pets and I'm not afraid to get down and dirty playing with dogs. I have a very well trained and obedient dog that only knows how to be friendly. I've done all my own training with all the pets I've had and they all have been commended by others for their training. It has been noticed and mentioned countless times that I have a special connection with animals, especially dogs. I use a Camelback stocked with an additional 2 40oz water thermos, collapsible water bowls, clean-up bags, toys, and a first aid kit to keep everyone hydrated, entertained, and safe on walks and hikes. My schedule is flexible to care for your furry babies. I am available most hours of the day and usually able to accommodate new customers and pets. I keep pets leashed anytime they are not inside a house or a fenced in area to keep your loved ones safe and protected. I am careful of what is accessible and safe for any pet to encounter or consume.

About: I’ve been around pets growing up and they’ve made the family complete. When anyone needs care for their animals on trips they call me ☺️ Im a full time worker but dedicated to care for your fur baby.I do have 3 days completely free I’m here for your pet for your busy weekend! I have a fully fenced yard and my own pets to keep yours company :) also I have two children who adore pets. I have the space to crate your pet if needed.


About: I’m a total animal lover who doesn’t mind being slobbered on! I love being active and going to the park or on long hikes. I can also just lounge around and cuddle if that’s what your dog needs. I have had pets my whole life and currently care for my English Bulldog, Scoop who I adore more than anyone! I’m able to give dogs medication without a fuss and I’m a local Herbalist who makes flower essences which my dog Scoop takes regularly for his emotional issues due to him being a rescue. I meditate quite frequently and I think dogs can sense that I have a calm demeanor and a love for them that is unconditional. I have a large, fenced yard with lots of shade that dogs just love.

About: I've been around animals my entire life. We had family friends who lived on a farm and that place was like a second home to my sister and I. Alongside that, we had 3 family dogs. The first two dogs we had since I was about 5 and the other was given to me on my 10th Birthday. During the 13 wonderful years she was in my life, she had two full liters of puppies in which I was responsible to help my parents manage from birthing to selling them. I have the knowledge and skills to take care of older pets as my Miley got really frail in her older years. I am someone who has always had a deep emotional connection towards animals, dogs specifically. I believe that once you adopt, take in, or purchase a animal that they are automatically apart of the family. I am currently my grandmother's caregiver in the morning and in afternoon I work part-time as a CYFD Family Visitation Monitor. I care for my grandmother for 2 hours in morning and in afternoon I am gone anywhere between 3 to 5 hours depending on when scheduled in but am always back by 630ish. I live on half an acre fenced property so there is plenty of safe room for your dog/dogs to be entertained and loved on by my 2 sweet doggies and myself. I do have the means to crate easily if necessary, as well as, plenty of rooms and space if separate feeding is needed. I do have several water stations in my home, which I change daily, so your doggie will always have access to fresh water. At night, my puppy gets closed in my makeup room where her bed is with some water and toys to keep her company; while my older dog sleeps freely in the home. Every morning I wake up at 7, let dogs out while I get ready for my grandmother's, and then they get returned to crates while at grandmothers. After I get home from Grandmother's I let dogs out and feed them. After they eat, I let them outside and leave them out for a little depending on the weather. My house has several big dog toys which are constantly played with inside as well as out depending on the weather. And of course I have treats because you can never forget to reward the babies for good behavior and just to occasionally spoil them.

About: Hi! I'm Chiara. I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs. Personally I have had dogs since I was a kid and I now have a doggo of my very own named Finnigan! I do have experience dog sitting for my sister and I have experience with puppies. I'm excited to meet all the doggos! My schedule is pretty open throughout the week! I typically am just at home hanging out with my own pets and family, so im sure I'll be pretty flexible At my house we have a huge yard for our dogs to run around and play, so I dont typically take them on walks, except on special occasions.

About: Along with my experience caring for my own pets, which I have lived with nearly my entire life, I have fostered kittens, and have professional pet sitting experience in which I was trained to administer insulin, provide various medications, feed specific diets and added supplements as requested, as well as manage many varying temperaments and ages of cat, dog, and other species! I am self-employed and run a small business! I am very flexible and have lots of time to spend with your furry friends! Let me know what works for your schedule and I will do my best to accommodate. I have a very large fenced yard in a small town, with four other dogs that are very friendly and would love to meet your pup! I am also happy to come to your home, and have professional experience in which I was entrusted with access to many clients’ homes whether they were in town or away! I will take great care of your home and pets!

There’s not much I haven’t dealt with or cleaned up. I only work part time and I am a mom of 4 children who all do rodeo.

Brandy G.
“I had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved pets to Hannah's care, and I must say, she is an exceptional pet sitter. From the moment I met her, it was evident that Hannah has a genuine love and understanding for animals. Her warm and friendly demeanor instantly put my pets at ease, and they formed an instant connection with her. Throughout the entire pet sitting experience, Hannah demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism. She was always punctual and went above and beyond to ensure that my pets received the best possible care. She followed all the instructions meticulously, including feeding schedules, medication administration, and exercise routines. I was particularly impressed by her attention to detail and her ability to adapt to the unique needs of each of my pets. One of the things that truly stood out about Hannah was her proactive approach to pet care. She took the initiative to provide regular updates on my pets' activities, including sending me adorable photos and videos. This thoughtful gesture not only reassured me but also allowed me to feel connected to my furry friends while I was away. I highly recommend Hannah as a pet sitter to anyone seeking dedicated, reliable, and compassionate care for their furry companions.”
