About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to take good care of their pets and were never disappointed and could always depend on me. They gladly referred me to others for their pet sitting and house sitting needs. I have always enjoyed playing with pets of all kinds.i have experience caring for horses, cats, chickens, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, plants, etc. I have grown up with animals and just love having the furry companions around. I enjoy walking dogs and checking in on pets for clients who ask me to check on them. I like to play and cuddle with pets.
“Alicia took a long walk with Maxwell and she made sure all his needs were met. She’s a great pet walker and she keeps us updated on the Rover app.”
About: I’ve cared for small and medium dogs since I was 14. I’ve loved taking care of animals ever since I was a little girl. With my parents being animal lovers I’ve encountered many animals throughout my life. As of right now I have 2 Dogs, 2 Cats, and 3 Horses! I provide loving attention, walks, feeding, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. I am calm, reliable, and respectful to you and your home. Your pets will feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.💕 I work part-time in Los Alamos, but only two days a week that I choose. I am pretty available anytime the pet owner needs me. In highschool, I dogsat on the weekends but now that I am out of highschool I’ve been doing it consistently. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable whether I’m at their home or mine. I stick to their usual routine provided by the pet owner. Feeding, walks, playtime, so they don’t get stressed. I keep their space clean and give them lots of attention and love. I’m calm and patient, so pets feel relaxed in their home.
“Abby went above and beyond with our pup, communication was great throughout the entire process, we look forward to having you look after Teo in the future! Thanks for everything.”
About: That title quote was from a former employer, owner of a pet care company. She turned to me when all else failed. Best compliment, ever! (Traveling for clients now. Please get in touch for pricing.) I meet with first time clients to get the lay of the land. We go over everything from vet contact info, to the everyday things- food, exercise, the chasing of squirrels. :) Schedule is tailored to your munchkins needs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to come and go when doing overnights. We can discuss. I do not do boarding. I only sit in my clients homes, where their pets are usually the happiest. Just like us! (Their own bed, blankie and bowl!)
About: What can I say, I love dogs!!! Iv'e been around dogs my whole life, beginning with my Husky that loved chaperoning me around our backyard when I was a baby. I'm very grateful to have the experience with a dog since youth! I was raised around other animals too, bunnies, mice, and hamsters. Lol but I bond especially well with dogs. I hope to make new memories with your pet if you choose me! I am flexible and willing to work around your dogs schedule and my own. We can work something out to meet both our needs of course. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can be available overnights if needed if you are going away on a trip.
About: I grew up taking care of a big, sweet lab and spending time with my extended family’s large dogs. Since then I’ve had the privilege of bonding with the dogs of friends and past partners. I’ve been professionally dog sitting full-time for 2+ years, and off and on for 5. I follow the lead of the dog owner with commands and whether to have the dog(s) on leash or not. I’ve had many experiences of simple neighborhood walks, longer hikes in the wild, dog parks, car rides, giving medication, taking the dog to the vet when needed, and lots of playtime and cuddling. :) I love getting to know the unique personality of each dog I care for, and I do my best to make sure they have quality time and care while their person is away. I am a homebody + I am building an online business, so I am available to give steady presence to the pets, plants, and home I’m caring for. I value clear, direct communication, and I appreciate having detailed directions on how you would like me to care for your pet(s) and home. I’m very self sufficient and capable of dealing with unforeseen circumstances if they arise. I keep my space tidy and clean and will leave your home in as good or better shape than I found it. Please provide a clean and welcoming space for my arrival. I am careful to lock all doors/secure your home, bring in your mail and packages, and water your plants.
“Great job and great communication! I feel confident that my sweet girl is taken care of 😍”
About: Dogs are my great addiction. I've owned dogs and walked and trained them all my life, but until I settle into my next job, I can't have a dog of my own again, so I'm petsitting and walking dogs for extra “dog time.” I have trained dogs for decades and now I also walk dogs at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. in the past, I assisted a vets, once in the mobile spay/neuter clinic in the Navajo Nation, and in a few other instances with wildlife rehab and injured animals. I kept all my own dogs into old age and love senior dogs. With my family I raised 2 litters of Shepherd puppies, and Ive fostered mothers and puppies at my home. I work part-time and online, and can fit my schedule around your dog, cat or housesitting needs. I'm an early riser and love to be outdoors in any weather so you never have to worry that your pet's schedule will be interrupted. Your home is as important to me as your animal family and both will receive loving care and attention from me. I've cared for many homes in New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado and have excellent references from clients, neighbors and friends to share.
“I really enjoyed meeting Rowan at your previous job at the daycare. It's wonderful to see her embark on her own journey. Bash was delighted to see her too. I truly appreciated her communication skills and the way she took care of Bash during one of his walks. I hope to collaborate with her in the future!”
“Rob does a great job with our two labradoodles. I recommend him. Dave”
About: I adore animals, but as a single person and a renter, it hasn’t been the right time to have my own yet. Whatever the needs of your pets are, I can provide loving care for them in your home. I have cared for cats and dogs, young and old, and am comfortable administering medications. In terms of diet and exercise, I will adhere to whatever guidelines you say are best. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to look after your plants and garden as well. My goal is for both you and your pets to be at ease while you are separated. I am a good communicator and will keep you updated to the level of your liking during my stay. I spend my summers working in Alaska and have a flexible schedule while in Santa Fe. I enjoy exploring new neighborhoods and would love the company of your sweet pet 😊 I am calm, attentive, and will cater activities to suit your pet’s needs. If your pup likes walks or the park— great! If couch hangs and lap snuggles are more their speed— wonderful, I’ll bring a book!
About: I'll love your four-legged children as much as you do! Leave your pets in their own home with confidence while you're away, either on vacation or simply away long hours at work. Experienced, loving pet care and responsible care for your home as well. I have been a home-owner for 35 years, and have shared my home with dogs, cats, birds, fish and reptiles, and currently volunteer as a foster mom for felines with the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. I also have decades of experience riding and caring for horses. I offer quality service and competitive rates, with single or multiple visits per day, or overnight stays. I will feed and water pets, walk dogs, clean cat boxes, brush pets, muck stalls, clean hooves, and water plants. Special duties available as well, such as giving medicine, taking dogs to doggy day care, gathering eggs, etc. I also provide belly rubs, chin skritches and ear tickles at no extra charge! I'm located in Eldorado, but will work anywhere in Santa Fe.
About: I am a friendly neighborhood dog walker, available to care for your pets needs. Reliable, trustworthy, and a good communicator. I'm comfortable with cats as well. I currently work part time, and on my own schedule, so I am available to tailor my schedule to help better suit your pets' needs. I can come in a timely fashion to your home to feed, walk, and provide love and care for your animals. I have my own transportation and can take your animals to the vet in case of an emergency.
About: I’ve always connected with animals and have a deep sense of understand them. I’ve always been great at training them from a young age. I’ve always had dogs from the time that I got my own place which was when I was 18. My job is flexible, I work full time but can adjust my schedule as needed. I am able to take care of your pups from your home, do check ins or walks as needed. My dog has a high fence outside is able to go in and out as needed through doggy door. There is someone always home as well to keep company. If I take your pups with me they would also have the same access, with walks, a crate is also an option
About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with a fenced in yard and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.
“Hannah is amazing! On time, gives updates and leaves my pup very happy!”
About: Dog owners would love my service because I am very passionate about caring for dogs. Dogs would love my service because I give treats, unconditional love, and lots of hugs and petting. I have 3 dogs of my own and they get bathed, spoiled, treats, sleep with me and care when they are sick. In summer they get air conditioned and in winter they get by the heater. I am available anytime day or night. I will treat your dogs with the upmost respect and as if they were mine and you will be satisfied with my service and will want to bring them back. I can brush thier hair, bathe, love, and pet them. I will be honored and trusted to watch your dogs.

Caroline K.
“Caroline kenne ich schon seit über 15 Jahren und sie ist eine sehr verantwortungsvolle und zuverlässige Person. Sie geht so liebevoll und zärtlich mit Tieren um wie ich das sehr selten bei anderen Personen gesehen habe.”
Mel W.
“We have been super happy with the top notch care Mel has given to our pup. He is incredibly attentive, goes out of his way to accommodate our crazy travel schedules, and makes sure our dog has a fun time while we are away. It really is priceless to go on travel and not have to worry about my dog. Also, our pup has had severe stomach issues, so she now has a limited diet; Mel has accommodated her diet and is very careful to feed her meals on time. Lastly, not only has Mel been super responsive with us, he voluntarily reaches out with pupdates and photos that brighten our day, when we are missing our pup. If you ever need a dogsitter in the Santa Fe area, Mel is your guy. We are happy clients and appreciate how loved our dog is when in Mel’s care!”
Meghan Q.
“Meghan was a wonderful sitter -- warm, open, and communicative from the get-go when we first met via Zoom; upon her arrival at my home, so that I had peace of mind when I got to my vacation destination; periodically during the week (including sending pictures of my little Gracie); and upon her departure/day of my return. I came home to an animated and healthy kitty, a clean and welcoming home, and a newsy update letter from Meghan with various details from the week. I am grateful for the care and attention Meghan gave to both my cat and my home, and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter!”

Karen-Joyce G.
“I’m currently on my 19th house/petsit of this year. If I have any question at all about a dog I’m currently caring for I call Karen-Joyce. She’s got years of experience not only as an owner but as a trainer, walker, sitter, vet’s assistant and volunteer at the local humane society. When owners leave their pets in the care of others they want them not only to be fed and walked and played with, they want them to be loved. No one I know loves dogs (and all animals, really) more than Karen-Joyce. She is passionate. The fact that she will go to the local humane society to walk dogs when she has the time is that passion manifested. Who does that? Someone who absolutely loves dogs. If it’s important to you that your dog is LOVED while you’re away, this is your gal!”

Wendy J.
“Wendy is a very professional, responsible, neat, and courteous dog-sitter. We were lucky to have her watch our beloved husky-malamute Lilly last March for nearly a month. Lilly and Wendy had an instaneous bond. Wendy took Lilly for daily walks and hikes despite any inclement weather. Wendy also kept our household tidy and our house plants watered and happy. We would highly recommend her for any future dog sitting position!”
Carolyn W.
“I have known Carolyn for 35 years. She has been a professional business owner for at least 30 years and is someone that you can absolutely rely on. Most importantly, regarding her care of animals, she has always taken impeccable care of all of her animals over the years and even fosters many cats at a time in her own home. Taking care of animals is something that I have always known her to be very passionate about.”
Paul D.
“Paul loves to be outside and hike and takes dogs on many adventures. He is sensitive, affectionate, conscientious, and accommodating to pet needs. He is reliable, trustworthy and great with communication.”
Glenda H.
“Glenda is an amazing, caring person, that will go out of her way to make sure that everyone around her is ok. I have witnessed Glenda devoting her life to her family and friends, by being there when they need a helping hand! I would highly recommend Glenda to any pet parent, as Glenda has been a pet parent herself, who has extended her love and time to treat her pet as family; she has been surrounded by pets her whole life, and has developed the knowledge to know what it takes to care for our furry friends/family!”
David L.
“Aloha! I live with David and Sprex and they are both great! David is a fantastic dog guardian and is a man of routine and habit. Our home is tidy and dog friendly, thanks to David. He is kind, respectful and considerate of everyone he interacts with. Sprex the dog is well trained and very happy. He gets long walks, playdates with other dogs, adventures on the beach, a ton of affection as well as a daily schedule that he can count on every day. David is an incredibly responsible dog owner and will treat your dog like his own. He will keep them safe, healthy and happy just like Sprex! I highly recommend David to look after your dog.”
