Dog Walkers in Santa Teresa, NM

About: Hi I'm aimee !! your pet's new favorite sitter. I'm a huge animal lover with a home full of personality-my senior dog who requires extra help, my two lovable cats one being quiet and other loving to cuddle 💗. So trust me, I understand that every pet is different, and that's exactly what I love most. I care for my pets as if they are real children cause they are all just so precious to me. im very gentle and patient with them as I have a senior dog who needs careful supervision and care, hes very sensitive to loud noises and what he eats so im always watching him like a hawk and making sure hes okay. While I also having a hyper cat who loves running around and making noise so im great at balancing two different personalities at once. I pay close attention to signals and body language, along with what they eat or drink since I know fur babies can be really sensitive and I know what is good and isnt for their health. Im very detail oriented. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or has a custom schedule. Please also let me know if they need any assistance doing anything such as jumping also where they are/arent allowed or if they have any habits youd like me to attend to. A typical day of fun would be makings sure the pets follow their normal routine. Then the fun would began !! We would typically go on a walk around the neighborhood or a friendly dog park. We would play catch, run around, sniff new scents maybe meet new people if the pet social or allowed. Then get some awarding healthy safe treats !! staying inside the home would be similar, except we would play inside the backyard, or inside. Throwing and catching toys, cuddling while dog enjoys a treat. I am currently working full time as a pet sitter. I haven availability all day everyday and will accept same day booking in case of emergency and if you just want to go somewhere last minute !!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages over the years—from helping pups transition off their mother’s milk to supporting senior dogs through their final vet visits. I’ve experienced many different situations with dogs, each one teaching me something new. No matter how much time I’ve spent with them, I always stay open to learning and growing alongside them. I currently work full-time with a school district, with hours until 6 PM Monday through Friday. During the school year, my weekends are fully open for pet care, and I’ll also be available on weekdays whenever we are on school breaks or vacations. I treat my cats and dog as if they were my own children, and I would extend that same love and care to your pets as well. From administering medication and accommodating picky eaters to playtime, fresh water, and all the details that go into attentive pet care—I handle it all with patience and dedication.

“This was my first time ever utilizing the app. I was so nervous and worried. She ensured me all would be fine. Sophia sent pictures along the way. She did amazing. She will definitely be my Mercedes favorite person in no time. 🩷”

About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I worked at PetSmart as a dog bather, where I gained experience safely bathing dogs, handling different coat types, and keeping pets calm and comfortable during grooming. This helped me develop patience, gentle handling skills, and the ability to read animal behavior. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I work full time, but I’m available for weekday walks and weekend pet sitting when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️

About: Well I’ve been helping and taking care of animals since I was 8 and I even have lots of experience because I used to volunteer at animal shelters such as the humane society. I am completely free and just looking for a summer job. I am willing to drop everything to help you take care of your baby! I have a fenced yard but it’s huge and very grassy, I have lots of dog toys and one little dog but she’s very friendly and has been with other dogs before :)

About: I am a professional dog trainer specializing in Service, therapy and emotional support dogs. I have 25+ years of experience and a true passion for the care and training of dogs. In order to provide the best experience for your pet we offer homestyle boarding, this means that we try to offer a boarding experience that feels like home. Does your pet sleep in your bed? If yes, they can sleep in a bed with us. Do you cook for your pets? If so, we will make sure to serve them the same meals they eat at home (you provide the food). We will offer a daily routine that is ideal for YOUR pet. Some dogs want to play, while some dogs what relax and nap on the couch.... no matter what their ideal day is we have it covered. I will gladly provide references from current and former clients as well as local rescues. I am a professional dog trainer with the appropriate set-up to do boarding right. Most of the time someone is home with the dogs, on the occasion when that is not possible all dogs are put in a private kennel in our living room. Dogs are only outside for scheduled playtimes when the weather is nice otherwise, they are inside our home. We have outdoor and indoor cameras where needed. Since dogs are in our living room or bedrooms we can always hear them and monitor them for distress. We care for your dogs just like they are our own. Safety and health are always a priority but the most important part of a good boarding experience is making sure that dogs feel as little stress as possible. My knowledge of canine body language and behavior enables me to make the necessary adjustments on a case-by-case basis because the is no single experience that works for every dog.

“Emily was absolutely incredible. She was able to accommodate Malbec and I last minute. She was very nice and professional and my favorite was the fact that she kept updating me and sending pics. My boy was very happy and was so well taken care of. She went above and beyond making sure he had all he need at home before she left. I definitely recommend her to take care of any of your fur guys. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: All my life, I have been around animals. I had pets, and I took care of my family's pets. Being an only child, the animal became a family to me!! Usually when I'm boarding a pet, I like to taking to walks so the can feel comfortable and enjoy the stay. Once back from the walks, I love to play with them so we can nap together right after! Based on what the pet parents indicated to me. I will ensure they get all the attention and the company your pet deserves. Will feed them, walk them, play with them, and bathe them if necessary. My goal is to make sure they feel as loved as their parents make them feel

“Thank you!!”

About: I used to work in the pet industry. Meeting new dogs was the best part of the job. I'm familiar with grooming services, dog trainers, and have relationships with many local vets. I can balance treating your pet like a member of the family, but still respect that they are an animal. I can be firm if needed or spoil them rotten with affection. I will adhere to strict diets and can offer nutritional advice if they are experiencing digestion issues. If they like to motor, I will take them for relaxing car rides. If you need a little help with some behavioral issues, I will also do my best to improve the bond between you and your pet. I happen to have a soft spot for the oldies but goodies.
