“Maellen took wonderful care of our pup. She kept us updated every with pictures and even videos, accommodated all of Chula's needs, and played with her and took her for walks. We couldn't have asked for a better or more understanding person to take care of Chula.”
“Brian and Jerri we're very thorough in making sure our dog got along with their own dogs and other guests. They asked great questions and made us feel so comfortable that we did not worry about him. Our dog made himself right at home and enjoyed their little family. Our pup definitely will be returning.”

“Becky was a fantastic sitter! She was super responsive, a great communicator, and took very good care of our pup.

We will definitely have Becky watch our dog again and will confidently recommend her to our friends!”

About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”

Shell was great with my puppy Bella. We did a meet and greet before I booked with her for the first time and she has a great setup for dogs. Keeping the smaller dogs separate from the bigger dogs. I liked that my dog Bella got to interact with other dogs as she is our only puppy and we work from home. Shell sent updates to let us know how bella was doing and also has great communication. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off times as long as we gave her a heads up. Will definitely book with Shell again.
Crystal was very accommodating and flexible on a last minute request. Brown Dog and I moved just a few days ago and have been anxious, but Crystal and her dogs put us at ease immediately with the chill energy in the home. I think he loved his sleepover with his new friends!
My doggy passed on last week, and I am still very heartbroken, but I wanted to leave a review for Billy. I travel extensively for work, and over the past 3 years or more I have trusted Billy to take care of Finn. Finn was a rescue pup 13 years ago and had a tough puppyhood and was very afraid of people. He warmed up to Billy pretty quickly, and I sometimes would have to leave him with Billy for 3 weeks to sometimes over a month as I work overseas. I would get regularly updated reports and pictures, and I always felt that Finn was in good safe hands. I highly recommend Billy, he is a serious, trustworthy and reliable person to leave your pet with!
Tatiana did an absolutely amazing job of taking care of our little guy. Caring for a deaf dog is not always easy but she did a wonderful job! She sent great updates and was so easy to communicate and work with! Thank you again for taking such great care of our Lenny boy!
Lucy was immediately comfortable with Pat. Dogs know who loves them. All our communications were clear and quick. There was flexibility in the pickup and drop off times. We felt Lucy was well cared for and didn’t worry about her at all, knowing that she felt good in a good place.
I can’t recommend Rachael G. highly enough! From the moment we met, I knew my pets were in the best hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my three high energy dogs felt safe, loved, and comfortable while I was away. I received daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. When I returned home, my pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for—like they had been on vacation! The attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and professional reliability truly set Rachael apart. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who treats your furry family like their own, look no further. 🐾 I’m so grateful to have found Rachael and I’ll never use anyone else!
