Doggy Day Care in Sandia Ridge, Albuquerque

“Kind, patient, helpful, friendly, professional… Those are just some of the words I would use to describe Holly and Robert. I’m very thankful for their help with my standard poodle.”

“Sending Jyrah to care with Sam is such a joy. Sam is so attentive to Jyrah and her energy level and Jyrah loves her so much, she can hardly wait to get to her when she greets her in the mornings as Jyrah stays with Sam for day care. She most recently cared for Jyrah while I was on travel and I was so relieved to know how dedicated Sam is to going the extra mile to ensure she is in tuned with Jyrah's needs and her tendencies to need some additional connection at times.”

“My dog had a blast playing with the other dogs at the house! Brittany was great to communicate with and very flexible with scheduling. I will definitely plan more play dates with her and her pups!”

Megan S.

“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”

“Charlie my dog had a fabulous day with Peter...beach, bones and attention! Peter's dogs were easy-going and hospitable ;-) I highly recommend Peter, so happy to have found a local dogsitter I feel great about!”

“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”

“Jody was a great sitter for doggy day care on short notice! She was very thorough in asking about our dogs and understanding what they were and weren't comfortable with.”

Emily S.

“I am so glad that Maggie took care of Sol. My little Sol immediately liked her and walked in like it was her house. Birthday is the cutest friendliest dog ever. And I cannot express how grateful I am for your care with my baby especially during a stressful week.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).

“A great stay for our pit mix so that we could spend a few hours at the Tram. She was pooped out and spent the rest of the day sleeping during our RV trip. Thanks again.”

“Jessie is such a good dog friend. Juniper loves it at her house”

“Melinda was very interested in getting to know our dog. She asked a lot of questions about his behavior, his personality, his normal day, etc. She was very concerned about making our dog feel like he was as much at home as possible. Peso seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We would definitively recommend Melinda for dog sitting. She was quick to respond to messages, and she sent us a picture of Peso. We would use Melinda again if we are visiting Albuquerque in the future.”

I can housework or host. Just let me know anytime I have a gated yard as well as doggie door access and don’t really crate animals. I let them run free in the house unless otherwise specified

“If I could give Corinne 100 stars I would!! She was so gentsl with my dog. She also send me updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. Her 2 dogs are the cutest and played with dog. Corinne is 1 in a million and I highly recommend!!”

“Gus had a great day with Devta and her sweet dog Olive! We received a number of photos, all showcasing how relaxed he was with her in her home and large backyard. I appreciate her experience in dog training and was so happy that she was willing to continue with Gus during his stay. He came home all tuckered out, which we know is a great sign of a happy pupper! We can't wait for Gus to spend more days with Devta and Olive!”

About: I'm a retired veteran. I'm trustworthy and passionate about animals. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child. I have a granddog who stops by now and again. I love dogs and promise to treat your dog as my my own. My husband and I are both retired military so we are able to cater to your schedule and to your dogs needs. I'm happy to administer medication if needed. We have a large fenced in back yard with a playground mulch base, shade sails and a covered patio. I have a kiddie pool I use on occasion for our dogs. Inside is air-conditioned and we have plenty of dog friendly couch seating in the living room.

“James was great! He loves walking dogs.”

“Alex was remarkable! My Gus has never been with a sitter and was in a house fire last week, which left him a bit traumatized. Alex took such good care of him, his wife crocheted a toy for him and I now know Gus is good around kids! Thank you so much for beeing so kind to my little boy and on such short notice!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!❤️”
