Doggy Day Care in Sonora, Albuquerque, NM

About: I have 2 dogs (4 yo husky, 2yo black lab) and a cat (3yo tortie) and like to refer to my house as the Zoo. The more the merrier. Its okay if your dog doesnt do great with cats, the cat stays upstairs and has her own space. I work from home for my day-job as a software engineer, which I mainly started doing because my dogs do not do well when home alone for too long! As more people are being sent back to in-person work I thought I could help some people out who need pet sitting. I also do high school coaching for track/cross country during weekday afternoons, so I will be gone from about 4-6pm ish on most weekdays from mid Feb - early May, as well as Aug - Nov. I have a walled-in yard that my husky hasn't escaped from so it must be solid. Everyone can have as much or as little outdoor time as they want, I monitor constantly to make sure everyone is having a good time. My pets are very friendly, anytime I have another pet over they are very eager to play and interact with them.

“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”

“Rita was great and super welcoming. My dog looked like he had a great day with her, she had other pups there so it was even better so he’d be with company. Her updates were great and she’s super flexible with her schedule. Overall was a great first experience with rover.”

I reside in a gated community with a sidewalk behind my house, and I have a fenced yard.

“Highly recommend! First time using a dog sitter and Shayna was perfect for my dog. Communication was great and I received updates/photos of my dog throughout the day. Shayna made me feel at ease knowing my dog would be in great care. I would request Shayna again for future doggy day care. Thank you Shayna!”

“Sending Jyrah to care with Sam is such a joy. Sam is so attentive to Jyrah and her energy level and Jyrah loves her so much, she can hardly wait to get to her when she greets her in the mornings as Jyrah stays with Sam for day care. She most recently cared for Jyrah while I was on travel and I was so relieved to know how dedicated Sam is to going the extra mile to ensure she is in tuned with Jyrah's needs and her tendencies to need some additional connection at times.”

“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!”

“As I drove up Diane's driveway on the second day of doggie daycare, my dog began barking enthusiastically and wagging her tail. My dog's review is the one that counts and she lets me know in a thousand different ways that she is so happy with Diane. In fact, when I go to pick up my dog from Diane's house, she always wants to spend a more time there. When it comes to finding the best sitter, I've already done the work for you. After attending many meet and greets, I can say with certainty that Diane is the best in Albuquerque. Diane has a great environment for the dogs. She has a large, grassy area outside and lots of shade. She lets the dogs come inside and has crates set up for rest time. When my dog is with Diane, she is learning and good habits are being reinforced. I also feel like Diane loves my dog and is glad that my dog is with her. I get pictures during every stay!”

“Kevin is an excellent dog watcher! I had to work long hours for over two weeks, and he was extremely flexible with my hours and taking care of my dog. She got plenty of exercise, reliable feeding, etc. I began to refer to Kevin as "Better Daddy" because Astrid was always super excited as we arrived at his house, and she definitely loves being around him! I would use Kevin again without any hesitation, and recommend others do the same.”

Howard R.

“Alexandra is one of my favorite dog sitters.”

Glenn W.

“My dogs enjoyed their time with Dylan (and Ozzie!), and next time I need doggie day care I'll try to get Dylan.”
