“Michelle was a very good companion for our dog. She sent us pictures and kept us informed during the day. Michelle played with our dog and made him comfortable in her beautiful and very clean home. I totally and completely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for help with their dog.”


“Stevvi was great with our paraplegic dog! When we picked him up he seems very comfortable and happy and when we did shoot a message during the day to check on our pup she got back to us within minutes. We absolutely will book with Stevvi again.”


“We are only in Santa Fe for the weekend and Katie was willing to work with us with little notice. She clearly has a great deal of experience, was great at communicating, and our pup felt comfortable with her and her husband right away. Katie sent photos and gave us updates on how things were going throughout the day. Would happily wort with Katie again.”


“My dog, Sissy is difficult to board as she's fearful and selective with both dogs and people. Melinda's quiet, easy manner was just what Sissy needs. Melinda didn't push anything and as a result Sissy was on her back asking for a belly rub shortly into her day visit. Melinda's dog, is completely and seemed to realize Sissy was scared. I'm hoping to book Melinda again soon for our 3 week upcoming Peru trip.”


About: I’ve spent the past 5 years rescued animals, volunteer at shelters, and caring for pets of all kinds.I currently have a 10month old German Shepherd mix who loves playing with all kinds of dogs, kids, and people. Right now, I’m available for full-time pet care on weekends. I work a full-time job during the week but I’ll be fully available for pet care throughout the entire month of July. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and take my dog to the dog park every day. We also go hiking often! I’ll treat your beloved pet like family in your home or mine!☺️ I’m also very flexible with schedule changes or anything!

“Abby had a great time with Eliza and Alejandro and came home tuckered after plenty of walks and cuddles. I have them booked again for two different days next week also. I appreciated the photo updates. THANKS!!”


“We love Kristen! Chewby is smitten with her and so am I. She is great with his special needs, being a puppy. Kristen has a laid back attitude but is very responsible. Her home is comfortably dog friendly with a large park around the corner. I searched and searched for a suitable dog sitter and finely found an excellent one with Kristen. Highly recommended!”


About: I was very lucky to grow up in a house with many pets, including many dogs, cats, fish, and birds. I love all types of dogs from tiny shitzus, to the largest Rottweilers. I also love all cats, from the ultra-fluffy cuddlers to the lone-lions. I believe that all animals deserve loving homes and that they are essentially doing their best; and it is us as owners who can show them how to behave, communicate, and love in our hooman world. I have pet-sat for my family and friends many times over the years, and have experience in animal rehabilitation, including dogs and cats with medication needs and injuries. My partner and I have a sweet German Shepherd/Golden Retriever who we’ve raised and trained since she was a puppy, and we have a cuddly rescued turkish angora cat. They mean so much to us! I strive to give other pets the same level of love while their hoomans are away. I work remotely with a very flexible schedule. I’d be available to come feed, play, walk, and hang out with your furry friends at most hours of the day on any day of the week— and would be open to overnight stays as well! Sometimes I travel for work, in which I would let clients know in advance when I am not available. I am an excellent communicator and will be available for calls/texts and updates whenever appropriate. I will make sure to note all client details down so that I do not miss any important routines. If/when we offer boarding or day-care, we have a large fenced backyard for the pupps to play in (supervised). We ask that any dogs we board be cat-friendly, and non-aggressive.


“Our little guy Fergus had a delightful time with Patris. He can be a bit standoffish when meeting new people for the first time, but when we got home it was clear that Patris is his new BFF. And, we/he loved having Seandarby visit as well. Thank you Patris!!”


About: Hi, I'm Eva! I’ve had dogs and been surrounded by pets my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Portuguese Water Dog, Claude. He craves social time with other dogs (big and small) and demands at least two trips a day to the grassy park down the street. He is very active and loves to hike or run after work when it's cool out. He loves learning new tricks and recently passed his Canine Good Citizen test. I work from home Monday - Friday and have a fenced in yard in the back if the dogs are desperate to get some energy out sooner rather than later! I work Monday - Friday on East Coast hours so am usually done by 3/3:30 to get the dogs out and enjoying the sunshine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day for walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We love to go for a run or hike after work when it is cool out! I am available all day, able to provide excellent communication and attention for your dog. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs can play in anytime they wish.

“Sue was the PERFECT sitter for our pup. She’s sweet, kind, and professional. She’s easy to communicate with and took time for my dog to become comfortable. My dog seemed to love her time there, especially playing with the other sweet dog. We’re so thankful we found Sue to care for our dog.”


“Althea and Josh were awesome for our baby boy blue. They kept us informed with him and sent great pictures of him. The only draw back was they're location from us tourists. However, we would use them again if and when we come back to Santa fe. Good peeps!!!”

Andrea L.
“Andrea is amazing! She LOVES the dogs and they love her. She is extremely responsible and attuned to them; she has great skill in handling all types of dogs. If a dog barks, pulls, etc., she has the tools to help the situation. I think her biggest asset is how CALM she stays. This helps the dogs feel calm and.m safe themselves. Highly recommend Andrea.”
