House Sitting Rio Communities North

About: I have cared for all sorts of pets including dogs, cats and birds for at least 10 years (not including the time I spent caring for and helping to train my own dog growing up). I would periodically watch my grandmother’s two senior schnoodles as a teenager, have been asked over the years by family friends to house/petsit for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes and with different medication needs, and once lived with two cockatoos who I got to care for as well. I am currently working as a substitute teacher which means my schedule is very flexible and -with advanced notice- I can be available for longer periods during the day to dedicate plenty of time to your pet(s). Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, I do my absolute best to treat them and your space as I would my own. I know how much trust it takes to allow someone into your home with the things that mean the most to you and take that very seriously!

About: My family and I will care for your pets like our own. We have a little farm and love dogs and cats.Let the fun begin on our little farm with you furry friends. I work part time and have plenty of time to care and play with your fur babies. Clean safe environment. I’ll treat them like my own. I have a fenced yard safe for your pets as well as kennels and baby gates for in home care to keep pets happy and safe.

About: I absolutely love dogs, and will treat your baby like mine. I got into this because finding good care for my dog is such a stressful experience as my tolerance for risk is extremely low. I am a nervous dog mom and will care for your pets like they are my own, they will be safe and secure with me and you will get as many updates as you would like. I’m available for boarding on the weekends as well as from Tuesday- Wednesday night. I work in ABQ as well so if you need someone to stay at your house during the week while you are on vacation I am happy to do that as well. In clients home I want to make sure I have a good understanding of their routine and behavior. Having a high level overview of your dog will help me care for them. A former roommates dog had a thing for people on skateboards so when we were on walks, I knew I needed to hold him tight as they were passing. Understanding your dogs quirks will help me care for them.

“Lauren came to sit our dog for a long weekend and we've been pretty happy with how everything went. Surely ask her to come stay here again for our next trip!”

About: Since a kid I've been surrounded by dogs. I was taught young how to care for and interact with them. Since then I've always had pets and made sure they lived the best lives they possibly could. While I don't have any sort of specialized skills when it comes to pet care I do have plenty of experience. The majority of my adult life has been spent in the military and security industry. Giving me the required skills to provide a safe and secure environment for your fur child. I am currently working part time with a very open schedule. I'm free most days except from the times of 5pm to 8pm usually. Leaving me plenty of time to check on your pets. I have an enclosed yard with two dogs at home. One small and one big. Both very friendly and would love a trip with your pup to the nearby park.

“Shawna was on time, provided regular photos and feedback. Shawna has experience as a Vet Tech -- this knowledge made it easier to have her take care of my aging dog. Highly recommend Shawna”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Mara ten stars, I wouldn’t hesitate. Mara spent an entire in-home week, here. We, my family, have not gone on a vacation in years. We live in the country with 4 dogs, 4 parrots, a group of parrotlets, an old german owl pigeon named Hootie, 2 Sulcata tortoises, 3 aquariums, 1 Honey bunny, & a small flock of free range bantam chickens. I explained all of this to Mara prior to our meet and greet & gave her every opportunity to “run for the hills,” so to speak. To my surprise, she wanted to meet with me. Mara was more than willing to put in the extended period of time needed for our meet and greet. She welcomed the learning experience & embraced the challenges of what it takes to care for our multi species family. I was particularly concerned in regards to our parrots (Eclectus, African Grey, Dusky Pionus & Blue Crown Conure). I was worried Mara would find them intimidating. I was worried about her level of confidence, handling them & meeting their emotional needs in our absence. I had nothing to worry about. Mara asked tons of questions, and I watched her interact with them. With her positive energy, they accepted her almost immediately. And, with all of the feeding, I did my part to help set her up for success. Our dogs absolutely adored her & Mara adored them. She let them sleep with her like we do! She spent time with all of our companions. Throughout the week, she sent pictures that reassured me it was ok to have fun void of home worries. Mara has such a great disposition & attitude. She’s so positive and upbeat. Because of her, I DID enjoy a week off. She did such a great job for all of our companions. And, she kept up with the house & kept it clean. I cant imagine ever hiring anyone else to care for our large crew. I would highly, highly recommend Mara to anyone. She takes pride in her work & in the happiness and wellbeing of those left in her care. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you so so much for all of your above and beyond Mara!”

About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets with medical conditions that require close monitoring. My experience includes administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring behavior changes, and providing patient, compassionate care. I have experience caring more multiple pets in the same household and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines while their owner is away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving the owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates. I treat every pet like my own and take pride in providing dependable, trustworthy care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I build my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, so I make it a priority to follow each pet's routine and provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether its a drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I am committed to making sure pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home. pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a clean, pet-friendly environment. I take time to play with them, monitor their behavior, and make sure they are comfortable throughout their stay. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely to keep pets on their regular routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication as needed, and providing companionship. I also make sure the house is respected and left cleaned while keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can have a peace of mind while away.

“We were away for 23 days on a long road trip, and our sitter did an amazing job taking care of our dogs while we were gone. She was responsible and communicative. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us during such a long trip. Highly recommend!”

“Brooke was exceptional! She went out of her way to ensure our two tabby cats were well looked after, tending to each of their specialized needs. We came home to two very happy kitties thanks to her loving care.”

“Thanks to Juan for looking after our dog and home while we were on vacation. He provided regular updates and gave us piece of mind while we were far away for an extended trip.”

“Paloma was so wonderful - my cat loved her! Our cat is a bit high maintenance and needs a lot of attention, sometimes acts out, and is happiest when the sitter can stay at our place with her. Paloma was so attentive and really met all of her needs. She sent updates with photos and made us feel so at ease that our cat and our home were in good hands. Came home to a happy cat and clean house. Would recommend Paloma highly to anyone!”

About: I have owned diabetic dogs and one with epilepsy. Friends and coworkers always ask me to watch their furbabies because they know how good my husband and I are with our own. They trust us and coming from someone who rarely traveled and when I did I took them with me because I don't trust others would take care of them like I do. I understand the anxiety that comes with having to leave them behind for whatever reason. Knowing they will be loved and have fun makes it that much easier for both you and your pet. Safety and security are also most important to us so rest assured they will be okay. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband's business is from home so we are both always here. We never leave for more that 3 hours due to our 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around. My brother also lives across from me and has over an acre of running room as well if needed. My husband and I work from home and are always available. We used to have dogs with medical issues and couldn't really leave them with anyone. My husband and I love animals and know how hard it is to leave them anywhere. Even at petsmart hotel they stay inside a small area and the play area isn't that big. We work from home and are never away longer than 4 hours. We have a 2 year old who is really good with the dogs as well but Rest assured we never let her play with them unattended. We have a large yard for dogs and know that they will be taken care of and loved while visiting us. All pets need love and attention. Even pet hotels leave them alone overnight and the thought of them having to hold it or use it in their space to feel ashamed is aweful. With us you get peace of mind and that's priceless In my home they will be treated like our own. They can play outside as long as they want. They scratch on the door ahead. They want in or out. They sleep inside on our bed with us of course. We want them to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. My dog buddy sleeps in his cage when he stays with others because he feels safe there so we understand everyone is different.

“I have a rowdy 1 year old pup, an older dog, and a bunch of chickens and she cared for all while we were out of town for a week. The house was clean and animals were all happy and healthy when we returned. She was communicative with us and vdry kind and caring to our pets. Sarah went above and beyond and I would definitely hire her again!”
