“Far and away a better experience than the first go on Rover. She kept us informed with text updates and pictures of the doggos. Sweet hounds and plenty of space to roam. Your dogs are safe in her hands!”

“Peter did a great job with our dog despite the challenges that a young dog brings. He was extremely professional and took care of our dog like his own. We received updates and photos throughout the day which was great as well. He has a real passion for dogs and is a caring & trustworthy person. Thanks again!”

“I am so glad that Maggie took care of Sol. My little Sol immediately liked her and walked in like it was her house. Birthday is the cutest friendliest dog ever. And I cannot express how grateful I am for your care with my baby especially during a stressful week.”

“She was able to help us last minute when we had to go to Albuquerque for a family emergency. It was so nice not to have to leave my furry baby alone in a hotel room and worry all day.”

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. As the founder of a nonprofit rescue, I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to introverted senior cats, and I truly believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. I specialize in shy, quirky, or high-needs pets—those who might take a little extra patience (and maybe a snack bribe or two) to warm up. The photos you see here? They’re a mix of foster pets, my personal pets, and beloved dog-sitting clients. If your pet has ever been described as “a little dramatic,” “selectively friendly,” or “too smart for their own good,” we’ll get along just fine. My approach is gentle, flexible, and grounded in experience—and lots of treats. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and personality, whether they’re a wild child or a cuddle bug. My goal is for your furry family member to feel right at home—even when they’re not. Someone is home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of companionship. We’re only ever away for a max of four hours at a time—perfect for pets who need extra snuggles or supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love making new pals. I can easily crate your pup if needed or keep them separated if they prefer their own space. My home is pet-proofed, cozy, and always full of love (and treats).

“Rex had a great time with Laura. He came home tired and slept for two days being a large German Shepherd. Laura sent me an email along with a photo of Rex every two days which was also awesome.”

“I highly recommend Melinda. She was very accommodating to care for my dog while we traveled in ABQ. She was very patient with my dog who is extremely shy. She even texted me after an hour to let me know all was well as we do have a separation anxiety issue. Great sitter.”

“Rebecca was fantastic! I'm so lucky to have found her last minute! She obviously cares about the fur (or furless 😉) babies she cares for in a sincere way and has a beautiful energy. She did a fantastic job working with my puppers hairless needs and making me feels comfortable and confident in leaving him. He had never been around other dogs before this point and I feel she accommodated him well when it was to much for him. I'm grateful she was even willing to consider those needs, work with me to meet them, and feel like he was genuinely seen and not just there. She communicated very well and I looked foward to receiving pics during my day. There was unfortunately one big down side, she's not in my town! I do hope if she ever is, she gets into contact with me so I can show her what my colleagues and I were working on and get to know her better 😉!”

About: Patience, communication, tenderness and consistency have led me to strong relationships with my furry friends. I am extremely detail oriented and very trustworthy. I have fully trained 3 dogs. One was 70lbs. I currently do not have any pets. Nothing can make me happier than hiking adventures. I love to run down mountain trails, watch birds and prairie dogs. Dogs eyes catch details I would have missed. Dogs are every bit as complex and brilliant and unique as we are. I am very excited to be making new dog friends here. Even though dogs are kids at heart they still keep me wise. Another cool thing about dogs is when you them give your time you are really giving to a community because dogs tend to recycle the love they receive. They have a way of radiating it out to every living creature that they meet. I've learned the ones that love quietly can love the hardest. I am very flexible. I work remotely as a paralegal and graphic designer. I am willing to work with your schedule on a case by case basis. My attention and care is of the highest caliber and I pride myself on be able to fully customize my care for each individual pet whether they have special needs or not.

About: I love all animals! There aren’t any that I can think of that I wouldn’t care for in a home. I’ve been taking care of animals since a child and currently have 2 dogs and 2 ducks and a fish. I can also care for rodents and reptiles. I have open availability for all jobs. I prefer to either drop in and out or board them at my house as needed due to my own animals. At home, we have a large fenced yard and I walk our dogs daily. I feed according to your specifications and am flexible to your pets needs. At your place, I like to go over your pet's favorite things to do there and see where the toys are kept!

About: I have provided care for cats and dogs for many years. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs that need more attention due to health issues. I will be available Monday-Friday, 9-5pm. I would love to hang out with your pets all day! I work from home so I can care for your animals during my work day. I will care for your animals, take them to the dog park, feed, water and even walk in the park. I have a small pool in my backyard for cooling off in the summer months.
