Brigit was AWESOME! Got photos and updates every day, house was left perfect, and I felt my furries were well card for, my house was safe, and Brigit did everything asked. I was nervous on the frontside, as I've had bad sitters before. Not anymore! I will use Brigit every time-if she is available! Thank you Brigit!

As always, Ava takes great care of my Tallulah & Dennis. Always prompt and arrives when she says. I’m so appreciative of the great care she gives my 2. Especially my Dennis who doesn’t really like anyone but me. She provides regular updates and communicates often. I’m so appreciative and grateful. She is a blessing.

Christina was great! From the moment she first met with my four large dogs you could tell that she is very experienced and comfortable with animals. That energy led to the dogs warming up to her immediately. She showed up on time and sent updates and photos throughout the stay. I highly recommend her!

Caro did an WONDERFUL job with my dog. He gets nervous when I leave but she worked with him and he is very comfortable with her. You could tell he had received plenty of attention while I was away. Caro sent regular updates and pictures and was very responsive whenever I texted. All my plants were watered and the house was in pristine condition when I got home. Thanks Caro!

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!

Marty is awesome! He has now stayed with our pups on multiple occasions and has done a great job. He is very trustworthy and respectful of our home and dogs. He has been able to connect with our very hyper girls and understands their need to be active. He reaches out to us just to let us know the dogs are doing well while we're away. He gives us peace of mind while traveling knowing our dogs are safe and being taken care of. That is priceless! Thank you for all of your help, Marty! We highly recommend Marty to anyone who needs someone reliable, trustworthy and in tune with your pets!

Grace had great communication with me, I got daily updates and I even came home to printed out pictures of Millie. I didn't worry once about how well millie was being taken care of which was such a relief. 100% recommended Grace

I have to say that our experience with Lam transcended my very best expectations for how a Dog sitter might take care of my kids (dogs). Additionally, she went above and beyond in her maintenance of the house while it was in her care. Super grateful for her care.

When Colton first arrived at my house for a meet and greet my cats came out to meet him instead of hiding. My dog who barks at nearly everyone and is shy didn't bark and wanted to be around him. Colton is a gentle soul, very attentive and asks great questions. He took care of my three Maine Coons, my chickens and koi while I was gone a week. If he was unsure he didn't hesitate to contact me. He sent photo updates and checked in with me regularly. He followed my instructions perfectly. When I got home the house was clean and tidy. Colton is amazing. I'm so happy I found him.
