Doggy Day Care in Rio Grande, Albuquerque

“Brittany was cheerful and friendly, and seemed to enjoy caring for my dogs. She was also responsive in letting me know how they were doing and what was going on. I’ll definitely use her again hen I need a dog sitter.”

Mary L.

“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”

Emily D.

“One of the most incredible and compassionate dog sitters in the world. Katsu didn’t want to come home! Thank you for being patient with the old man and accommodating my schedule. Will be back to visit sweet boy Birthday.”

Susie V.

“Amazing daycare! Constant updates, photos, communication and they went on a big walk to the park with all the dogs. What we love about our dogs being here is that they have attention all day long because Matt works from home and they have roommates that love dogs! It’s a great fit for our very social golden retrievers and we know they’re in good hands with them!!”

Nadia M.

“Jody was amazing with our new rescue, Teddy. She was very communicative and worked with us on all of Teddy's quirks like separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Teddy definitely had a fun day full of fun and adventure! We super appreciate Jody working with us on such late notice and for being so kind!”

Jordan M.

“Mike was an incredible sitter. My little guy, Walter, took to him because he was so friendly. He gave me updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was walked, fed, and well loved. Would recommend and work with Mike again!”

Shane H.

“Peter took great care of my high energy black lab Birdie. Birdie and Peter's dog Mia hit it off right from the get go. Would not hesitate to leave Birdie with Peter anytime. Planning her next visit now.”

Ken S.

“Jamie was very friendly and communicated with me during the stay. She has young kids in the home for playtime with my small dog along with a friendly poodle of her own.”

Sonyia H.

“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”

Marianna E.

“She was able to help us last minute when we had to go to Albuquerque for a family emergency. It was so nice not to have to leave my furry baby alone in a hotel room and worry all day.”

Ashley S.

“Rex had a great time with Laura. He came home tired and slept for two days being a large German Shepherd. Laura sent me an email along with a photo of Rex every two days which was also awesome.”

Rafael G.

“Marcelle was incredibly communicative and accommodating with our schedule. Our pup was immediately comfortable around her and her Great Dane. He was completely tuckered out in the best way possible when we picked him up. 5/5 service.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).

“Alexandra is one of my favorite dog sitters.”

Glenn W.

“Thomas, Matt, and their friendly dog George made Ruckus’s play day a real pleasure.”

Juan S.

“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”

About: Hello! I am very experienced in any and all dog needs. I work from home, can provide enriching walks, and also have a huge fenced in back yard. I live with one very well trained and friendly dog of my own and am passionate about giving dogs amazing experiences! I work from home, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like! Typically, I leave my house for the gym once a day. I take care of every dog like they are my own. I have one well-trained and friendly pup of my own that yours can play with while they are here! There is a large and safe area for them to run around outside, as well as be cared for inside. No rooms or surfaces are off limits for pets, aside from sleeping in my bed.

“Diane was so great with our senior rescue poodle. She looked happy in the photos she sent. Tail was wagging when we picked up and she got lots of snuggles. We will be using her again!”
