“A wonderful couple who went above and beyond caring for our fur-babies. I truly appreciated them for cleaning up “accidents” caused by the animals, most people would’ve left it. The care you showed our Pit Bull baby Max lol, touched me and him obviously. Definitely will be using them again in the future.”


“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”


“Avery was amazing with our old lady Dixie. The photos she sent to us during our trip made me know that our pup was well taken care of. Avery was always on time, provided great feedback on the visit and when we came home Dixie was calm and relaxed. We will definitely be rebooking her!”

About: Avid animal and Jesus lover! I have been around animals all my life! I grew up with multiple cats and dogs, and I currently have 3 cats that are my pride and joy! Within the past 3 years, I have also started horseback riding and volunteering at local animal shelters. I love taking care and spending time with animals, and I would love to watch your pets! I have frequently watched animals for friends and family members in the past, and I'm always excited to make new fur friends! I work a typical 8-5, Monday-Friday job. Other than work, I am usually at home spending time with my animals. I would be able to watch and board your animals anytime during the weekends, and after 5 PM on weekdays I am available! I have a fenced backyard with 3 friendly cats that would keep your fur baby company! I also have plenty of room to separate my pets from yours if need be. I live in a safe neighborhood where I can take your pet for walks and spend plenty of time outside!

“Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.”


About: As an animal lover, I have grown up with and taken care of cats and dogs all my life. Even horses. I have experience working at a doggy daycare. I have experience with dog to dog aggression issues and fights. I know how to feed, groom, and clean up after all sizes and breeds. Most importantly I love, hug and kiss on every dog and cat I meet. I'm currently available all days of the week and any time. Overnight stays, drop ins, walks and holidays. My schedule is very open and flexible. The most important thing is to be vigilant and aware. If something is not right with your pet you investigate. If you're walking your dog around other dogs be very cautious. Keep the house clean as so they don't get into anything and anything harmful out of their reach.

About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.

About: Hi, I’m Sierra – your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I have two sweet Pitbull-Lab mixes at home who’ve taught me so much about patience, loyalty, and unconditional love. I have hands-on experience with administering medication (oral and topical) and even diapering pets who need a little extra care. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or needs special attention, I’m confident in creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for them. I proudly service Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Los Lunas, Bernalillo, and parts of the East Mountain villages. I’m happy to work with your schedule, send regular updates and photos, and make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and detail-oriented, I’m your person. Let’s set up a meet and greet! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have two Pitbull-Lab mixes who keep me on my toes! Between walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles, I’m used to building my day around pets and their needs. Taking care of other people’s pets just feels like a natural extension of what I already do. I’m flexible with my schedule and love being around animals, so whether it’s a quick check-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to make it work! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I stick to your pet’s usual routine with feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and all the cuddles they want! I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, and keep things tidy while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home.

About: I am a Travel Anesthesia Tech who has a super flexible schedule and can adjust to whatever works best for you! I’m currently in between contracts but I keep my schedule up to date. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, two eight year old Yorkie Terrier brothers, and a year old Tortie. I have also worked with showing dogs as an American Kennel Club Junior handler, working with Mastiff’s, Akitas, and Schnauzers. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats all my life, and love all animals. I am bilingual; I speak Spanish as well as English. I have also spent some time abroad in Ireland, where I volunteered at a dog shelter there, helping to look after all different breeds of dogs. I look forward to interacting with so many animals in the future. I am currently only working part time throughout the week, which allows lots of flexibility for any bookings! I don’t have specific work hours preset, so I can adjust my schedule to yours :) I am a big believer in animal body language and boundaries, and making sure animals are comfortable and happy through my time caring for them.
