Dog Walking Rio Rancho

“Marcus is truly an exceptional dog walker and person! He took great care of our dog and was especially observant and careful on hot days—he came very early in the morning and always took care to make sure she was ok. He left great, detailed reviews and was always happy to help with any concerns—he truly goes above and beyond! Our dog loves him and we look forward to working with Marcus whenever possible!”

“Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!”

About: Hello, my name is Leevi. Since I was young, I have always been the one taking care of the family pets. I love all animals, and taking care of them. I have leashed and behaviorally trained multiple dogs for friends and family, as well as served as the designated animal watcher for both cats and dogs for friends and family. I have also raised multiple jumping spiders and lizards. I care about the needs of all animals; seeing them happy makes me happy. I work full-time from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Despite my evening work schedule, I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy staying productive throughout the day. As soon as I wake up, I am usually on the move, whether I am exercising, running errands, handling personal responsibilities, or spending time outdoors. I value making the most of my mornings and early afternoons before beginning my shift. I will care for your fur baby with the same patience, attention, and affection I have always given my own pets—as a valued member of the family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I have hands-on experience training and caring for several of my family’s dogs. My experience includes leash training, reinforcing positive behaviors, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular walks and playtime. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and adapting to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and daily routine. I am also attentive to the ways dogs communicate their needs. Whether a dog is feeling stressed, hungry, excited, tired, overheated, or simply in need of reassurance, I recognize the importance of observing their body language and behavior closely. I prioritize safe walks, hydration, a calm environment, and plenty of positive interaction to ensure each dog receives the care and attention they deserve.

“Luke has been fantastic with Bailey! He keeps me up to date on what's going on and has been flexible with my work schedule. Bailey is always excited to see him and sets a great pace on their walk to burn some of her energy off.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, giving me firsthand experience with their unique personalities, needs, and proper care. More recently, I was a member on another pet sitting website when I was a student at a university in Paris,France, where I had experience taking care of dogs and cats in my own apartment for a few different families for a period of time. The best part about watching pets is the pleasure I get from being able to give them love while their owners were away. I am open to pet sitting weekdays and weekends. I work during the week with days off in between. Early mornings and late nights are no problem. I’ll closely follow a pets routine, providing fresh water, food as instructed, exercise/playtime, medication if needed, a safe environment, and of course lots of love and affection.

“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”

About: I give your pets attention and affection, keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I send pictures most days to assure you all is well. My services include house-sitting, so your pets stay home where they’re comfortable. I have decades of experience with a variety of breeds. Let’s talk about what worries you and we’ll find a solution everyone is happy with! I’d prefer to visit your pets before securing the booking, to make sure we all get along. I am self employed and pet care is one of the ways I earn my living. I also work remotely for some of my clients and use the wi-fi to get tasks done. I have been house/pet sitting for decades. I treat your home as if I was a welcome guest, but not a part of the household. Over the years, I’ve had jobs where I was bonded for security, which means I have a clean record. I’ve been entrusted with confidential & proprietary information. I’ve adhered to HIPAA rules without breaking a sweat. I am trustworthy and friendly. I have a silly sense of humor and have skewed streaming algorithms with binging scifi. I’ve lived in the extremes of rural to urban environments. I can greet & thank people in ten languages. My idea of a party is a bowl of ice cream and a movie (sci-fi, British drama). Before we book anything, I’d like to stop by the house and give the critter(s) a chance to get a good look/smell of me and you can give me the lay of the land. Housesitting: I’m being hired to keep the critter(s) company, and that’s what I do. Nana comes to visit and keeping the house safe and the animal(s) safe and happy is my primary duty. My habit is to bring my own supplies, so when you get home, everything is how you left it. I have a ukulele and I sing familiar covers, so I’ll mention it now in case the neighbors mention something about it. (I have yet to have a dog howl as I sang, though the huskies were very talkative.) Drop-In: Depending on our discussion during the Meet & Greet, I will swing by your house according to the schedule we’ve set up. I will make sure the water is fresh and the food bowl has plenty of food. (My job is to make sure the animal(s) know they are being cared for and that they don’t have to stress about whether or not they will starve to death - I’m thinking of cats especially here who see the bottom of the food bowl and start to panic. Not on my watch!) Walk: I’ll be at your house at the time(s) we’ve discussed, put on the collar and leash, and set out on the adventure. My habit is to sing as I walk so that any other critter has a chance to get out of sight - a lesson learned by startling a skunk. It is important that I know if the neighborhood is friendly or if folks keep to themselves. Do(es) the dog(s) visit friends on the trail? or should I keep them on their own?

“Ashleigh is wonderful! ‘Chandler’ took to her right away. She’s not only reliable, but quite accommodating with my changing schedule. She’s a true dog lover and I highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love and respect for animals of all kinds. Caring for them isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I have extensive experience around dogs through my father, who breeds and trains dogs for protection sports, so I’m comfortable and confident handling dogs of all sizes, including large and high-drive breeds. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also passionate about learning more about canine behavior and training, with the long-term goal of becoming a certified dog trainer and participating in dog shows. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra attention, or simply a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I’m happy to work around your routine and accommodate your pet’s needs. I am really good at communicating any schedule changes. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual personality and routine. In my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, affection, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, playtime, and any special routines. My goal is to give pets the same love, structure, and attention they receive from their own family.

About: In college I was a house and pet sitter. I have had pets since I was in elementary school and am now a senior. I currently have three dogs of my own. I’m emotionally intelligent and good to work with. I work a half day as an Occupational Therapist educator in Wednesdays and as an OT practitioner on Fridays. I would be available in the afternoons on these days. I will not take care of pets in my home but am happy to come to yours to care for, walk, pet and feed your fur babies.

About: A little about me: I’ve had a dog by my side every day since I was six years old — dogs are an integral part of my life, not just something I do on the side. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament, from tiny lap dogs to a 90-pound Labrador, and from bouncy puppies to dogs in their older years. Experience: My deepest experience is with senior and special-needs dogs. My Labrador had a series of health challenges, including three separate leg surgeries. I nursed him through every recovery, which meant walking him with a support sling until he was back on his feet. When he was later diagnosed with cancer, I cared for him through hospice at home — giving his daily medications and keeping him comfortable and loved right to the end. So if your older dog needs medication, a little mobility help, or just extra patience and gentleness, that’s something I genuinely know how to do. I’m just as comfortable with high-energy dogs. That same Labrador was a handful in his younger years, so I know what it takes to keep a strong, active dog happy and well-exercised. I also love puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to walk more than one dog at a time, and I have experience with leash-reactive dogs — I know how to keep walks calm, controlled, and low-stress for a dog who needs a little extra management. Right now I share my home with two girls — a 15-year-old Chihuahua mix and a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier — so both ends of the age spectrum are part of my daily routine. Before them I’ve cared for several terriers and a Border Collie mix, among others. I walk my own dogs every single day and I’ll keep yours on a good routine too. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends who were thrilled with the care I provided — beyond looking after their dogs, I kept their homes tidy, watered plants, and brought in mail, treating each home with the same respect I’d give my own. Services: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting: • Dog walking — I keep dogs safely leashed and give them a proper outing with a good sniff, steady exercise, and a potty break, adjusting the length and pace sensibly for the weather. • Drop-in visits — I come to your home to feed, refresh water, handle potty breaks, play, and give plenty of affection, plus tidy up any little messes before I head out. • House sitting — I stay overnight in your home and keep your dog’s whole world running on schedule (feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and steady company) while also looking after your place by keeping it tidy, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. Availability: I work from home and set my own hours, so I’m around for your dog far more than the average sitter — and I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Pet care is the center of my day, not an afterthought, which means real time and attention whether it’s a midday walk, an unhurried drop-in, or being present in your home throughout the day on an overnight stay. The only exception is the occasional family commitment, which I always know about well in advance, so I can be upfront about my availability every single time. Peace of mind: Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m always happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your pup having a good time, and I’ll check in as often as you’d like while you’re away. And should anything ever go wrong, I’m able to drive your dog to the vet in an emergency — so you can travel with real peace of mind. Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I work from home, my schedule is very open and flexible, so I can build my day around your dog's needs rather than squeezing them in. The only exception is the occasional family commitment I schedule around, and because those are always planned well in advance, I'll always know my availability far ahead of time and can be upfront with you about it. To give you a sense of how I run a day: my own dogs eat at 8am and 6pm, get a 20–40 minute walk in the evening, and I stay attentive throughout the day to when they need to go out. My younger dog gets dedicated playtime with her toys, and my senior girl gets her medication right on schedule every other day. I keep that same consistency and attention for any dog in my care — sticking to your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication, and potty routine so their world stays steady while you're away. When I care for your dog in your home, safety comes first. I keep all doors and gates closed and latched, and I'm constantly aware of where your dog is — especially any time I'm heading in or out, so there's no chance of an escape. I follow whatever house rules and routines you set. I also treat your home with the same respect I give my own. When I dog-sat for family and friends, I kept their house tidy, watered their plants, and brought in mail while they were away. I will leave your home just as you left it, keep you updated with photos while you're gone, and communicate quickly about anything that comes up. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house in good order.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs and cats since I was 8. Neighbors, friends, and coworkers have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and entertain their pets. I currently work full time but am available 24/7 on the weekends. During the week, I can walk/feed/play morning and evening around my work schedule. I understand all pets are different and that their needs vary. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs that your pet may have.

About: I have had pets ever since I was 3 years old, I am now 20 and have lots of experience with taking care of them. I have also trained my dogs with the basics like, potty training, any tricks, simple house training etc. I am very experienced to take wonderful care of your fur babies and their needs. With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone. I always walk the dogs, follow any instructions that's given to me for the dogs care, eating habits, wash days, times to go out, and everyday I play with my own dogs keeping them active running around the yard and having plenty of toys. I also tidy up the house, sometimes with our fur babies the house can be a mess with toys all over and them shedding all the time so I can to provide that for you.

“Brittany was very responsive and kept me up to date with my dogs walk. Since she couldn’t walk them very long because of the rain she stayed and played with them in the house! Will be using her again!”
