Dog Walking in South Los Altos, Albuquerque, NM

“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 30 years and can’t imagine life without animals. I’ve been a pet owner since my teenage years, and caring for animals has always been a steady part of my life. Beyond my own pets, I have experience in a wide range of pet care roles. I’ve worked as a house sitter, caring for pets and homes for weeks at a time, as well as a pet sitter making multiple daily visits to ensure animals are fed, walked, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I also have experience as a dog walker and understand the importance of safe, attentive, and engaging walks. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and my ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, and I take pride in providing consistent, loving care so pets feel secure and comfortable while their people are away. I’m a substitute teacher with a flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my availability day by day. While I love working with kids, I also love animals and enjoy having the flexibility to spend quality time caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific household or pet preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. During visits or overnight stays, I keep the home tidy, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide updates so pet parents feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while their people are away.

“Hossanna is fantastic, and I highly recommend her. I had a health emergency and reached out via Rover, hoping for a miracle, and she showed up just a couple of hours later. Was able to help me walk my highly energetic dog that day, and the next. Very grateful!”

About: I go by Seven, I was born on a farm, I’ve worked with animals of the farm variety and of course, cats, dogs, and many more sense I was young. Volunteered at animal shelter, vets office, and farm animal facilities. I’m currently a UNM student so all my babies are at home but I plan to have my ESA Rosy join me soon, so I don’t see animals often outside of meeting fellow students pets. I have spent most of my years growing up with and around animals and have a lot of love and experience with them! I have classes m/w/f from 10am-3/1pm but other than that I’m free for any kind of help! I make sure to ask what rules or regulations have to be followed for both pet, home, and routine. I never wanna stress a pet out or an owner so I love to send photos and updates the whole time I’m there as well as make sure everyone is comfortable and happy with the job and care I give.

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since 5 years old. Grooming, walking, cleaning up after them and loving them. I have added birds, ferrets, and turtles to my pets in my adulthood. I foster neonatal kittens. I have trained many dogs and have shown them in obedience. I have had elderly dogs and cats and have helped them through their needs in old age. I love to throw the ball for your dog, play with cats or just sit and pet them, make sure they have their food on time and always have water. I can walk you dog around the block or for 5 miles. I am very experienced in reactive dogs and walking them. I have had large and small dogs. My last two dogs were Dobermans. I will be reliable and follow your instructions. I am a retired Occupational Therapist and have recently lost my sweet friend and companion, my dog Scarlet. I have time now to help others out who need someone to provide love and care to their pet. I am looking to care for your pet in your home. I may, be able to take a cat or dog into my home sometimes, but I have chickens in my backyard so it is not available. At your home I can stay overnight if necessary or just come and care for your pet in the comfort they are used to. I am reliable and trustworthy and will give all the love and care your pet needs and wants.

“My dog gets better at walking every time they take her out. She and I are both learning new tricks to keep her from pulling and being overly reactive. I'm so happy when I take her for a walk and she actually behaves!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have poured my love and dedication into every moment I spend with them. I am comfortable and confident in administering medication to dogs, always gentle and patient. Playtime, walkies, baths… they’re more than tasks; they’re opportunities to bond, to share joy, and to show your beloved pet how truly special they are. I am tuned into dog body language, knowing exactly when to give space and when to offer comfort. I don’t force interaction or push boundaries. Yet, I won’t hesitate to get down on the floor, to play, cuddle, and love just like I do with my own furry family. When you call on me, you’re not leaving your precious baby with a stranger - you’re entrusting them to someone who truly believes they are family, deserving of all the love and care in the world. I currently work remote which means I have flexibility throughout the day to visit with your dog - whether that means cuddles, walks, or practicing the tricks we already know. For overnights, I’m happy to stay with your pet all day as long as you have decent WiFi. If not, I can visit throughout the day, leaving your home by 7am, then visiting from 12pm-1:30pm, 5:30pm-7:30pm, then arriving for the night by 9. For weekends, I will leave your home by 8am, the visiting between 10am-12pm, 5pm-6:30pm, then arriving for the night by 9. I can work on a case by case basis outside of the above listed availability with enough notice (~3 day notice). I believe parents make the rules! I am flexible to your requests because you know what works best for your dogs. Do they need to be crated? Do they need the TV on all night for comfort? Do they need their teeth brushed? Do they need to be walked right before bedtime? I can do it all. I am happy to transport to and from specific walking trails, dog parks, etc.. Want to socialize your dogs but having them leave your house makes you nervous? I can bring my dogs with me to visit your pup! I’ll follow your lead because you know what’s best.

“Brooke is lovely!! Luna took to her right away in the meet & greet. She sent great pictures & updates. I will be using her again the future - very glad I found her!”

About: I have been around dogs and taking care of them since a young age. I have been raising a border collie mix for 5 years since he was a puppy. I am comfortable with high energy/anxious dogs, but I am also comfortable with mellow dogs too. I’m here to make your life more stress free by being a trusted dog walker and more! My availability is Monday-Friday. We can discuss times and see what works for you. If you need me in the morning or the afternoon I will most likely be available! I care for my dog in my home by having a set schedule for when he gets fed. I make sure to give him all the walks to get his high energy out. I will love your dogs like they are my own and treat them the same way I treat mine. They will be in good hands.

Follows all special care instructions to a T! Malcom’s availability is great and he flows with changes to the schedule! A huge help!”

About: I am a friend to all dogs and cats! I have had pets all my life and love taking care of fur babies. I work from home and am always available for a drop in, daycare, and especially a home for the holidays. I have a friendly small dog and aloof cat in my home . My home has a fenced in yard with plenty of grass for potty breaks. I am also experienced with giving medicine in case your little one has any conditions which require said service. Whether it's going for a long walk around the neighborhood or taking a trip to the dog park, I promise your pets will be happy and safe with me! I work from home as I mentioned so I am available for all of my services anytime. I take my work phone with me so if I need to stop by during business hours, it is perfectly fine! I care for every animal by giving them love and attention. I am the kind of person who enjoys spending time with animals so whether they’re in my home or I go to your home I always enjoy spending quality time with them and making sure they know they are safe and well cared for.
