Madison Z.

“Reiley was so patient with our cat in hiding that by the end of our time away, she was sleeping on his lap! We are so very grateful for him taking such wonderful care of our two favorite beasts. And such a sweet and gentle person.”

Mindy H.

“Noelle is amazing! They provided excellent care and kept me updated frequently. My cat was content and my apartment was in great condition when I returned!”

Payton B.

“Sam was awesome! She’s clearly a true animal lover and was able to help out with our kitties (including giving them 2 different meds!) in a last minute request. She was always prompt and professional in her replies and sent lots of pictures of the kitties. Would highly recommend!!”

Eliza S.

“Joshua was excellent, managed the strict diet of our growing kitten with IBS, gave us regular hilarious updates, and managed to get on the good side of our other cranky cat.”

Matthew A.

“I requested some drop ins while I was out on vacation to make sure my cats were doing alright. My cats were properly cared for even though they were hiding most of the time, and they were perfectly content when I got home. Communication was excellent too.”

Emily Y.

“Vicki did great with my fussy cat. Philly doesn’t take to strangers very easily but she became comfortable with Vicki quickly. Philly allowed Vicki to brush her and played some. Vicki also did some extras around the house as needed. Very good communication with pictures.”

Gail S.

“We love Eileen and have been using her for several months now. She has a great relationship with our cat and he loves to go on walks with her.”

Bryce H.

“Grace is wonderful- excellent care and attention, and excellent communication. Thank you Grace!”

Trudy M.

“Cheyenne was great! My dog Theo was super happy and excited when we got home from our vaca! Got pictures throughout the weekend that allowed me to enjoy my time away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Christina P.

“Nicholas took great care of our two cats for a week. During every visit, he sent us photos as well as updates on events (such as having refilled the water fountain, changing the litter, etc.). He also sent us videos of the cats every few days. We found the cats happy when we came back. It was clear that Nicholas loved the cats and the cats loved him back. Would wholeheartedly recommend him!”

From childhood through adulthood, animals have always been part of my life, including personally caring for multiple dogs and cats, as well as animals while living abroad in Bali, Indonesia—where attentive, mindful care and environmental awareness were essential. – My primary focus is private in-home dog boarding and limited doggy daycare, allowing me to offer consistent companionship, a calm nervous-system-friendly environment, and truly individualized attention. I intentionally limit the number of dogs in my care so each dog can fully settle, relax, and feel at ease—never rushed, overstimulated, or overlooked. – I’m certified in holistic health, mind/body somatics, and breathwork with a trauma-informed lens. This means I’m especially attuned to nervous systems, subtle behavioral cues, routines, emotional regulation, and safety.

Dogs have access to a secure sunroom/studio for lounging and rest, with a large doggie door opening to an expansive, fully fenced backyard. A front side patio provides additional fresh-air space (see photos). – I’m also a mom to two kind, animal-loving boys (ages 8 and 12) who have grown up around dogs, cats, birds, and fish. They are gentle, respectful, and understand boundaries. They are mostly at school and are not caretakers. All animals in our home are treated with respect and consent, and quiet companionship is always honored. ––– 🐕 MY SERVICES OFFERED (Dog-Only): 🏡 Boarding & Doggie Daycare (Primary Services) I specialize in overnight dog boarding and dog daycare in a private home, offering a low-volume alternative to traditional kennels or group-style daycare. – Dog boarding and daycare is offered in my home for a very limited number of dogs (typically 1–2 at a time).

My care is intentionally low-volume and highly attentive. Dogs in my care receive consistency, calm, and genuine presence—never rushed or overstimulated service. – My pricing reflects private, individualized care, limited availability, and the level of attention I provide. This is not a high-volume or rotation-based setting. Clients choose my services for peace of mind, reliability, and the quality of care their dog receives. – Meet & greets are always encouraged to ensure the right fit. ––– 🤍 BEST FIT/ NOT A FIT My care is an excellent fit for dogs who: • Thrive in calm, predictable environments • Are comfortable with structure and routine • Enjoy individualized attention and companionship • Do well in a low-volume, private home setting • Are sensitive, anxious, elderly, or adjusting to change • Are potty-trained and comfortable with basic obedience – My care may not be the best fit for dogs who: • Require constant high-energy play or group-style daycare • Are not comfortable in a calm, low-stimulation environment • Are not potty-trained or have ongoing marking behaviors • Need intensive behavioral training beyond routine support • Do best in large, high-volume or highly social pack settings – If you’re unsure whether your dog is a good fit, I’m always happy to have a conversation.

I work from home, allowing me to offer a highly attentive and flexible schedule. Your dog’s day is thoughtfully shaped around their established routines for meals, walks, companionship, and rest—never forced into a rigid or overcrowded timetable. – I intentionally limit the number of bookings I accept so each dog receives unrushed, individualized care and consistent presence throughout the day. This allows me to maintain a calm, predictable environment and respond thoughtfully to each dog’s needs. – My approach is designed to feel steady, considered, and reliable—providing peace of mind for you and a sense of ease, security, and familiarity for your dog. 💛 A safe, and loving environment for your dog Safety, trust, and calm are at the heart of the care I provide. – My home includes a large sun-filled studio space with access to a spacious, securely fenced and gated backyard. Dogs can safely move between indoors and outdoors through a doggie door, allowing for plenty of fresh air and gentle movement throughout the day. If your dog uses a crate or has specific containment preferences, I’m happy to follow whatever routine feels most familiar and supportive for them. – I live on a quiet, peaceful street in a safe neighborhood, with access to a beautiful nearby walking path. I offer structured, mindful walks that are tailored to each dog’s comfort level, energy, and needs. – I care for every dog as an individual and follow your established routines as closely as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and overall environment safety, and I always communicate clearly if anything out of the ordinary comes up. – For daycare and boarding, I provide clean, comfortable orthopedic bedding suitable for small, medium, and large dogs. I also keep extra leashes, dog wipes, poop bags, plant-based deodorizing pet spray, toys, and a ChuckIt ball set on hand. – My goal is to offer a clean, nurturing, low-stress environment where your dog feels relaxed, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 10. Pets of friends, families and at doggy daycares. Pets of all ages, size and attentiveness to special needs. I am currently unemployed. I will have plenty of free time to take special care of your animals and their special needs. Completely open and willing. I have a fenced in yard, it’s private and not close to any roads. My neighbor is a friendly and kind man with a medium sized delightful husky.

“Very responsive and helpful! Would use again!”

About: I’ve helped my family take care of our pets my entire life. Growing up, my neighbors and family friends trusted me to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I can administer medicine to your furry best friends and I am a fast learner if I need to be trained a special way to administer the medicine. I have cared for high maintenance, elderly pets, and puppies with gentle care. I genuinely love animals and hope to hang out with some. I am flexible. I have a hybrid work schedule and helping new neighbors take care of their pets is my idea of a good time! I am an avid walker and I am patient. I care about animals, so I make sure I walk dogs earlier or later, when it is not too hot for their paws. I take client instructions and tips for treating their pet seriously, regarding temperament, likeliness to run off while on a walk, etc. I like to give pets ample attention so they are less anxious while their family is not home. I give pets space if they are giving off the vibe of wanting to be left alone, after I make sure their basic needs (and more!) are met.

“Violeta has taken great care of Roxy. Will be booking again next week”

About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little girl and I loved to caring for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.

About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs and cats. I've been taking care of pets in a house-sitting context for the past 16 years. I am extremely responsible and caring and will always put your dogs/cats/pets first. I love spending time with animals and I am happy to follow your instructions very carefully in order to provide the best possible care for your pet! I have experience caring for dogs with lots of energy and the need for long walks/park visits and I really enjoy taking them on these adventures! I have a special relationship with cats, where I am able to communicate well with them and befriend them easily. I am also great with plant care and keeping the house clean and in order. My schedule is flexible. I often work from home. I am a massage therapist as well so I often have lots of breaks where I can spend time with/check on your pet! I cannot take pets in my home at this time but I am happy to come to or stay in your home. My first priority is caring for the animals and making sure they are getting a lot of attention and have their needs for food/walks/play/cuddles met. I also am very clean and respectful in others' homes and will make sure that the space is well-cared for.

About: I’ve volunteered at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society. I have always been around animals/pets and can’t remember a time I have ever been without one Animals have genuinely been part of my everyday rhythm for my while life, this isn't just a side gig I squeeze in, it's something I structure my days around. I keep my schedule flexible enough to accommodate early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or last-minute evening visits, because I know pets don't operate on a 9-to-5. Whether I'm caring for my own pets or a client's, mornings usually start with a walk or playtime to burn off that early energy, followed by feeding and a calmer stretch of the day, and then another walk or check-in before evening. I build my week around consistency, because pets thrive on routine, and I want them to feel like nothing has changed just because their person is away. I care for pets with the extreme focus and attention, checking on them very constantly and frequently to make sure the animal is doing ok and is in a comfortable environment. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet's world exactly as familiar as possible, same feeding spot, same walk route, same bedtime routine. I follow your instructions closely, whether that's a specific leash technique, a feeding schedule down to the half-cup, or a particular way your cat likes to be greeted. I also keep an eye on the house itself, bringing in mail, rotating lights, making sure everything looks lived-in, so you're coming home to total peace of mind, not just a fed pet.
