Doggy Day Care in South Valley

“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”

“In ABQ for vacation and searched out Kimberly on Rover based on all the reviews - gosh they were right!! She’s super responsive, flexible with your schedule, and great with our dog. Thank you Kimberly for being so welcoming!”

“Lauren was fantastic! Last minute request and she welcomed Charlie with open arms! Can’t thank you enough! Charlie came home so happy and exhausted;)”

“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 😉!”

“Bonni was good with our little Havanese dog. I liked the yard area including some grass. Bonni was accommodating to our schedule of daytime/evening schedules. We took our dog with us at night. Thanks Bonni!”

“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”

About: I've grown up with dogs (mostly big ones) all my life. I've worked with big, small, and medium dogs and understand behavior stems not from breed but from how the fur babies have been treated. Currently in between jobs so Bear and I have lots of time for walks in the park and dog park fun. We love meeting other pups. I have a safe fenced yard with a dobie who gets along with all sized pups. I make sure to keep the yard and house clean to ensure a friendly welcoming environment. We can also crate doggos if owners would like.

“Kathy is fantastic, understands dogs, is a good communicator. Her dogs are also great. I did not get to meet Val but heard she was tolerant of my barky dog”

“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”

“Spencer was incredible with Trident and me as well! I was so anxious to leave her for the first time and she came home happy and tired! I am so grateful to have found Spencer and Trident will be happy to spend a day there again I have no doubt!”

“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”

“Jody was amazing with our new rescue, Teddy. She was very communicative and worked with us on all of Teddy's quirks like separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Teddy definitely had a fun day full of fun and adventure! We super appreciate Jody working with us on such late notice and for being so kind!”

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).

“Tracy puppy sat my baby girl! She made the day stress free. She sent updates through out the day and my pup came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend.”

About: Hi! I’m 20 and am currently a student at UNM! I’ve have cared for dogs and cats since I was 5. I’ve helped with bathing, basic training, and often take dogs on mountain hikes and other adventures! I’m kind, responsible, and love animals of all sizes. I have lots of free time this summer and would love to keep your pet happy, active, and loved while you’re away! I have a flexible summer schedule, so I’m available for drop-ins, walks, or extended care throughout the week -I love making pets part of my daily routine! I live in a safe, gated home with a large, private, and secure backyard perfect for play and potty breaks, and I am also just a short walk away from downtown parks and pet-friendly spots for our outings. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, clean space to relax, with plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

“Jessie is such a good dog friend. Juniper loves it at her house”
