7. Chad K.

“Chad was amazing with Dakota. We were skeptical at first because this was our first time having to leave our fur baby somewhere. Chad was responsive and caring. Definitely booking with him next time.”


8. Amber H.

“Amber is all that you can ask for in a sitter. Great communication, professional, and pays attention to the details. I have nothing but positive comments regarding my elderly cat's stay with Amber. Thank you for providing a positive experience using this service for the first time!”


9. Veronica P.

“Thank you so much for getting me out of a bind. Thoroughly recommend. I came to Albuquerque to attend a science forum. When I arrived at the original sitters house, not this one, it was dilapidated and in squalor. Thankfully, they were not there at the appointed time. I left. And then I found Veronica. She was incredibly accommodating. She has a wonderful home with backyard and toys.”


10. Joshua P.

“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”


11. Maellen B.

“Maellen is the warmest, caring, and most attentive dog sitter we've ever had. She sent us daily updates with pictures and was very responsive anytime we had a question. We could tell our Toby was happy, safe and comfortable in Maellen's home. Not once did we worry about Toby's well being, safety or comfort and we were able to enjoy our time out of town. Toby got his daily walks, plenty of time with Maellen and we could tell that she took great care of Toby. We are looking forward to having Maellen watch Toby again. In fact, we have confirmed another booking with Maellen later in the year.”


12. Jenny W.


“Jenny and her family were amazing! We left our rambunctious lab with her for a week, and he came back happy as ever. During his stay Jenny sent me updates on how he was doing and I never had any worry whether he was being well card for or not. Will definitely be using Jenny and her family again!”


13. Doug R.

“This is the second time Doug has watched our pups! He is incredibly reliable and flexible. We got stuck in another state for an extra day and he was able to keep them for us. Doug is the best!”


14. Sharee W.


“Sharee was so great with my dog, Daisy. I got multiple picture updates during her stay and when I came to pick Daisy up she didn’t want to leave!”


15. Alexandria K.

“Alexandria took lots of pictures and sent updates of Bailey. She made him part of the family and Bailey seemed like he had a great time! He can be shy and slow to warm up to new people so he most have felt really comfortable with Alexandria and her family.”


16. Courtnay W.

“I’m so glad I found Courtnay! I’m new to ABQ and was worried about leaving my anxious pup behind, but Courtnay immediately made me feel like my girl was in fantastic hands. She sent tons of pictures and videos, was very communicative, flexible, and gracious. I’m so grateful and will definitely be booking again.”


17. Ck B.

“Great communication with text and pictures daily she took extra special care of our pup! She made him feel loved! Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”


18. Sage B.

“Sage is a lifesaver!! Sage really came to the rescue when I needed and took Seela under her wing so I could attend a funeral 300 miles away. Seela, being a puppy still, can be quite the handful as she is still discovering the world. Sage really took initiative and even taught a new command which I intend to follow. Sage is smart, caring, diligent, gracious, malleable, and most importantly, trustworthy and I couldn't recommend Sage's professionalism enough. I look forward to scheduling with Sage again in the future...you should consider the same.”




19. Debbie D.

“My puppy had a great time at Debbie's! She sent me pictures every day which helped me deal with our separation. She's obviously a very caring sitter and I will definitely use her next time I need a sitter.”


20. James D.

“Thank you James for taking such good care of Braxton! I was so nervous to leave our nearly 15 year old dog with someone new for the first time, but everything went very smoothly. Braxton stayed with James for 8 days. James did a great job, we got regular pictures and updates, and Braxton was so happy and healthy when we picked him up! I really appreciate the special care and it felt like Braxton made a whole set of new friends and had a really great experience. We would be happy to have James watch Braxton again!”
