Lauren did a great job communicating what was going on with my cat while I was away. I really appreciated her willingness to be flexible, like turning on the AC for him, when needed. She’s a kind person who’s great with animals, and I’d definitely recommend booking with her!

Jessica was amazing! Every visit she spent quite a bit of time with Archer and sent 1-2 pictures each day, sometimes showing him eating and sometimes showing him getting cuddles. They clearly got along well, and he seemed happy and healthy when we returned. Jessica is quick to respond to texts, and even checked in with us on the last day to make sure we'd get back on time and Archer would be okay.

About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals all throughout college so I have lots of experience! I’m very nurturing and kind and I even have my own kitty that is very friendly. I have a flexible work schedule so I’m work from home most days. I love to go to the gym and go on walks. I am a home body so on the weekends I like to cook and prepare for the week. A typical day with your animal looks like playtime in the morning and a walk in the evening! If it’s a cat I make sure to play throughout the day and especially at night so they and I sleep well! If I am going to your home I will read and relax with them when I’m not playing with them and I will feed based on your schedule for your pet.

About: Through my life I have had many breeds of dog. Basset hound, labs, Akita, Australian shepherd and Chow Chow. Additionally I have been a secondary care taker for breeds such as Corgie, Brittany spaniel, pit bull, Belgian Shepard and Pomeranian. I work part time and take classes, and at the moment I do not have a pet of my own so I have plenty of time and energy to walk yours. I have walked dogs in many environments and areas of Albuquerque since I was a child. Safety will always come first, I keep dogs close but I am very willing to let them explore the area in a safe manner. I am very good at intervening and stopping fights between dogs and will always avoid off leash dogs while with your puppy.

About: I've grown up with dogs (mostly big ones) all my life. I've worked with big, small, and medium dogs and understand behavior stems not from breed but from how the fur babies have been treated. Currently in between jobs so Bear and I have lots of time for walks in the park and dog park fun. We love meeting other pups. I have a safe fenced yard with a dobie who get along with all sized pups. I make sure to keep the yard and house clean to ensure a friendly welcoming environment. We can also crate doggos if owners would like

I was so hesitant about having someone I didn’t know come into my home and care for my pups, but I’m extremely glad I booked Taylor. She did a meet and greet with us, which made me feel more more at ease. She was flexible with my changing schedule and communicated well. I have already rebooked her for another need and will continue to do so.

About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old and have watched pets for friends and family since I was a teen. Currently have two doggos. One 2 years old and one 9 years old. I have taken care of puppies, having house trained multiple dogs and have cared for senior dogs I work from home with a very flexible schedule on weekdays. So I have plenty of time for walks and playing with the pups. I am available to walk dogs multiple times a day. If your pup is staying with me they will gets walk and be able to go out for many bathroom breaks throughout the day. Since I work from home you dogs will never been left alone at any point. I have a fully fenced yard and two very well behaved dogs that love getting to play with other dogs. I can crate your dog if needed but since I work from home I am always able to keep an eye on them. I can take your dog on multiple walks, play with them in the yard, and make sure they go out for plenty of bathroom trips.

Thank you Brigit-for being such a great pet sitter. Your temperament is excellent I think when pets are stressing about where their pet parent went—-I’m so glad my Cleo came out from under the bed the first day with you and I appreciated the daily snapshot of your visit….was a treat for me to have daily check ins. Hope you can sit with my Cleo again as needed..

About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

We hired Levi to watch our cats while gone for 3 weeks out of the country. He did multiple daily checks that involved several tasks, including litter management, feeding, playing, and also took care of our plants. He was easy to get ahold of and is great to work with. Will definitely be using him again.
