Alexis did an amazing job caring for our pup Benny and our home while we were on vacation. I’m usually pretty anxious about leaving Benny since he can be a bit high-energy, but Alexis handled him so naturally and confidently. She kept us updated with plenty of messages and photos, which really helped put me at ease. She made sure Benny got his walks and lots of love, and even left our home clean before she left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—10/10, we would absolutely hire Alexis again!

Skyler was a great pet sitter and house guest! She watched my two cats for a week. She shared a lot of updates and pictures the whole time. My cats were very happy and unbothered when I came home. I’ll definitely use Skyler again for future trips!

Greg spent three weeks at our house looking after our beautiful dog Misty. Greg was wonderful, he cherished and cared for Misty as if she were his own. He also looked after the house, and kept us informed with pictures, videos, and texts, we have no complaints. I highly recommend Greg; you will not be disappointed.

My dogs and I loved having Lauren stay with them. She is observant and trustworthy. I can tell how they connect with her that they felt at home with her. My 2 large dogs are high energy and talkative. They have been difficult to manage for friends and family in the past. Lauren was able to communicate with them and set firm boundaries. I really appreciated having her stay, spend time with them, and know they were safe and loved with her.

Second time we have asked Regina to come and watch the doggos for us. Once again she has exceeded expectation. I can't stress enough how well she takes care of the dogs, gives them a ton of attention, and continues to take them through their routines while we are gone. If available, we will always reach out to Regina to watch the pups. Everyone here is a huge fan of her!

About: I grew up surrounded by pets; from dogs and cats to birds and guinea pigs. I've been helping others go on vacations, certain their pets are comfortable and loved while they're away. Your furry (or feathered or scaley) friends require a little extra love while their family is gone, and I am committed to giving these pets a sense of peace and safety with plenty of extra snuggles and some fun too. I am a student at UNM and love heading home for breaks or for the night to animals and taking care of another creature. Being a student, my schedule is more open than those who work full-time jobs. When caring for someone's pets in their own home, I am careful to ensure the pets don't feel that I am "invading" their space, but that I'm a friend staying with them; ready to sit in quiet, play, or give space as they get used to someone new in their home.

Hossanna took great care of our dog and cat! She sent photos and checked in with us. She stayed overnight with them and we felt so much better knowing she was looking after them and they weren’t lonely. She gave medications to our dog, and must’ve done a great job because he is happy and healthy upon our return! Even our cat who is usually shy, made friends with Hossanna.

Regina did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. I received daily updates with pictures of the cats. She was on top of everthing that needed to be done. One of my cats need medication 3 times a day. Regina didn't miss a beat. She adminstered the pill with no problem. She did have a difficulty on one occasion. I told here if she misses one medication the world would not end. It meant a lot to me that she let me know. Overall Regina did an amazing job. I would absolutely provide a good review should someone show interest in having Regina pet sit.

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!
