“Leah done a great job with my baby she did wonderful she did everything she could and above and Beyond I hope that she can take care of Tazzy in the future she done a wonderful job💖💖💖💖”


“Alexis was so thorough and caring when she took care of my cats! Her updates were everything I needed so I didn’t have to worry while I was away. My cats loved her- normally one of them is usually pretty scared with new people and she took so many pictures of him out & about! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her pet sitting care again when the time comes.”

“I am so grateful they were able to drop in on such short notice! They also took pictures and were communicative when needed. I would book with them again!”

“Both our yorkies are on meds and one is on a special diet. Brigit did great with the meds and feeding. I feel the dogs were well cared for the week we were away.”

About: I have had dogs for many years and loved them all. Whippets and rescues, poodles, and mixed breeds have all found love in my home. I have cared for dogs of others, both in my home and as a house sitter. (I will housesit for cats but cannot have them in my home due to family member allergy). I have cared for puppies and all ages, including senior dogs. Medication, feeding, walks, playing, loving...all can be done. I am retired from working as an art therapist. We have a young pup at home who loves other dogs. I am home throughout the day and will work with needed schedules. When I am out on errands, etc, my pup currently is free to roam the house. We have a fenced yard, a dog door, and easy care home. I will work with whatever requirements are needed to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.
“Madelyn did an amazing job looking after our cats when we were gone for Thanksgiving week. She was also kind enough to bring in the mail. The cats were well taken care of. It was a great worry off my mind knowing someone was there to ensure they had food water and treats every day. Would definitely book again.”


“Marilee takes great care of our cats while we’re away. We booked her twice in one month and look forward to rebooking with her whenever we need a sitter.”

“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.”

“My dog Sui was well cared for and happy to see Robert when he returned my apartment key promptly as scheduled. Thank you Robert and Holly for caring for Sui last minute when I was invited out of town for New Year’s Eve. I would rebook/recommend them for people with larger dogs as they were very comfortable handling my hyper German Shepherd mix dog Sui (90 lbs on a leash).”

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 have been around dogs my whole life. I have had two registered therapy dogs and have house sat for numerous families. I love all dogs and just want them to be cared for whi families enjoy their time away I’m retired so I have an open schedule and am free for days or weeks depending on your needs. 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
“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”

“Terrance was able to step in at the last minute and come watch my pup for two days. He did a great job and was very responsive. On time. And a pleasure to have watching my dog. I’m definitely going to keep him as a contact for future bookings. Highly recommended.”

About: I have dog sat a variety of dogs from young puppies to a full grown Rottweiler. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I love being around them! I am a college student back home on break so I am available almost all day! I would love to help make this Holiday season easier on you and your family! I prioritize safety and trust by respecting your home, following your dog’s routine, providing updates, and ensuring your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and secure.
“I love working with Nicole! She truly loves animals and is always happy to see my fur babies! I feel so assured working with her, because I know my babies are well taken care of and my house is the way I left it! Makes the stress of traveling all the more better when I come home!”

About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!
“Karyn is just fantastic. She has the training and experience to take care of pets, but more importantly has the most important skill and the one you can’t teach someone; the love. Book Karyn with peace of mind, I promise your pets will appreciate it.”

Brigit has been a fantastic cat sitter. She's reliable, communicative, and experienced. Both of my cats have some health issues (one has diabetes, the other one is just very old), and I feel very safe leaving them in her hands. I feel so lucky to have found her!

Jenna was amazing! She was great at giving updates and sending cute photos of my pup every day. My dog was very comfortable with her. I appreciated that she took my packages inside so I feel she is trustworthy. Thank you Jenna for easing my mind during the holiday season with my dog!! It was a huge help. I will definitely rebook in the future.

Daniel is a TRUE professional. We have a big pet family with a lot of energy, and it can definitely be a handful at times — but he handled everything with ease. We were nervous about traveling for our vacation, but Daniel was absolutely the best person for the job. He went above and beyond by doing multiple home visits beforehand to make sure our pets felt comfortable with him, and he was fantastic from the start. While we were away, he checked in regularly, sent photos, and spent real quality time with each of our pets. We genuinely appreciate his professionalism, his communication, and the level of care he showed our pets and our family. He made them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!
Kayla was great, and I’m so happy that Nugget felt comfortable around her. Kayla’s check-ins were always thorough, and it made me feel better knowing Nugget was in good hands. No issues with getting Nugget to eat or drink, and Nugget made a new friend even if she doesn’t realize it! Definitely recommend Kayla!
