“Thank you for the quick response. Sombra is awesome and usually have a friend pick her up on unexpected longer days but they weren't available. Lauren was able to step in on a moments notice. 🐾 of thanks!”

“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”

“Leah is beyond amazing and all my fur babies loved her! She always kept in communication throughout the visits and sent me pictures and videos which made me feel so much better about leaving my babies in such good hands! Thank you Leah !!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for 21 years including 13 years with a dogs. Over that time I’ve gained hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. I’ve trained puppies through the basics of house training, leash manners, and good habits and currently care for a senior dog, so I’m comfortable with the slower pace, extra patience, and special attention older dogs need. I’m experienced in administering medication whether pills, liquid or other routine, and I follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated. I’ve also cared for a pet rabbit for 12 years, so I’m comfortable with small animals and their specific needs, from diet and housing to gentle handling. I'm a stay-at-home parent, so I'm home all day and your dog will have company and attention rather than hours alone. My days are built around flexible, relaxed routines: morning and afternoon walks, playtime in my fenced yard, meals and medications on schedule, and plenty of downtime. Your dog is welcome to curl up with me for a nap, too. I'm available for boarding and doggy day care drop-offs after 9 am, pick up no later than 9 pm. and I'm happy to follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible so the stay feels familiar and comfortable. Because I'm home throughout the day, I can also accommodate special needs that are hard to cover with a typical sitter's schedule, like midday medication, extra potty breaks for puppies or seniors, and additional check-ins for anxious dogs. My home is a safe, welcoming space for dogs. I have two kids under 10 and a senior dog of my own, and everyone in the household is good with other animals. The kids have been raised around pets and know how to be gentle, respectful, and calm around dogs, and my senior dog is relaxed and friendly with guests. Kids and dogs are always supervised together, and I supervise all outdoor time so dogs are never left unattended. Your dog will have access to a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, sniff, and play. Indoors, there are cozy spots to rest, and I keep a calm, structured environment so every dog feels comfortable and secure. I offer a free meet-and-greet before a first booking so you, your dog, and my family (including my senior dog) can get acquainted and make sure it's a good fit before any stay.

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. To ensure the safety of both pets and myself, I require a meet and greet before accepting new clients and may decline bookings if I don’t feel I’m the right fit for a pet’s specific behavioral needs.

“Ethanee has been sitting/walking my oliver since he was two months old. He ADORES her and I’m so grateful for her care. She’s attentive, kind, communicative, punctual and respectful of my home/care requests for him. I will use her as long as her schedule allows!”

“We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.”

I am currently going to school full time at UNM. My schedule is pretty flexible though, and I am willing to work with you! I can come before, in between, or after class and on weekends! I will always want to come meet you and your pet before I accept the service. I will take notes on everything so I can keep your pet on their routine, no matter how specific. I want to make you and your pet 100% comfortable! I am experienced with reading body language with pets, so I can tell if your pet is too overwhelmed or nervous. I also love sending updates, including photos and videos, to let you know how your fur baby is doing!
