“Holly was great with Loki! She picked up on his occasional anti-social attitude toward other dogs and let him stay close to her where he is more comfortable. He seemed happy when I picked him up. They were very responsive with communication and easy to make an appointment with!”


“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!”


“Sam is tuned into Jyrah and it is so much of a relief to know my girl is in such great hands on the days Jyrah gets to go to Doggie Daycare with Sam! Sam is attentive and kind and provides a wonderful and patient environment with engagement and relaxation periods. Jyrah loves spending time with Sam.”


“Kim is absolutely amazing & super accommodating! She takes very good care of our furry boys. Finch & Cash are always all smiles and tired from their play time with her :) I highly recommend her for your fur babies.”


“Thank you so much for taking care of the boys while we were in Albuquerque for the day. I wish you were closer so we had a reliable sitter in Denver. The pictures helped us through out the day know that the boys were safe and having fun too! Look us up if you're ever in Colorado. Ve”


“Peter did a great job with Buddy. I know Buddy loved playing at the beach and playing with the other dogs. I appreciated Peter's patience with Buddy and hope we can bring him back. I loved all the photo's Peter sent during Buddy's visits. Great eye! Would definitely recommend Peter.”

“Mike was an incredible sitter. My little guy, Walter, took to him because he was so friendly. He gave me updates throughout the day and made sure my dog was walked, fed, and well loved. Would recommend and work with Mike again!”


“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.”

“Hazel came home so happy after daycare. She loved Giddy and Jo Jo! She was welcomed as a 12 week old puppy into the pack and had plenty of play and attention from Corinne and her pups. Highly recommend Corinne if you need puppy care in those first few months!”


“Marcelle was incredibly communicative and accommodating with our schedule. Our pup was immediately comfortable around her and her Great Dane. He was completely tuckered out in the best way possible when we picked him up. 5/5 service.”


“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).

“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.”

“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”


About: Hello! I am very experienced in any and all dog needs. I work from home, can provide enriching walks, and also have a huge fenced in back yard. I live with one very well trained and friendly dog of my own and am passionate about giving dogs amazing experiences! I work from home, so I can spend as much time with your pup as you'd like! Typically, I leave my house for the gym once a day. I take care of every dog like they are my own. I have one well-trained and friendly pup of my own that yours can play with while they are here! There is a large and safe area for them to run around outside, as well as be cared for inside. No rooms or surfaces are off limits for pets, aside from sleeping in my bed.
