“Erica was wonderful! She came over a week ahead of our trip to get to know the pets and to see our home. She asked great questions and was super responsive. Unfortunately, she had to cut her stay short due to a personal emergency but throughout it all, she was extremely communicative and assured me that our pets wouldn't be left stranded while we worked with Rover to get a new sitter. She had even kicked off the convo with Rover to get that sorted out!”


“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”


“Lucy was fabulous! She took great care of my two cocker spaniels. I was in different state on an extended trip. She was flexible, on time and very responsible. My dogs liked her so much that when I told them, "hey guys, Lucy is here" they would get all excited. She walked them frequently, cuddled with them and sent picture updates. It's so good to not worry about my fur babies..............and Lucy made me feel very comfortable leaving them in a a totally new environment. I did not worry about them at all.”


“Rachel was a wonderful sitter and did a great job of taking care of our pup and our home. She was great at communicating and keeping us updated! Will definitely use her again!”


“Jamie and Patrick did a great job caring for our pets during our 10 day trip! They sent regular updates, took our dog for walks, and took care of all our pets needs so that we could relax and not worry at all during our vacation! We definitely plan to use them again!”


“Brigit was amazing! She was super quick to respond and left me with a great feeling knowing that my pups were in great hands! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. Highly recommend her and I will be using her again!”


“Rachel is wonderful in every way! She was so loving to our pup and checked in with us often to make sure were updated on his activity, medication, feedings, etc AND our house was left immaculate. We are already looking forward to her next visit.”


“Jace was fantastic! My Aussie immediately loved her.. so appreciated all the pics of the walks and play and snuggles. Felt completely comfortable with Jace in our house, you couldn’t even tell she was there! Definitely will rebook!”


“We are so happy to have met Melanie! The pack loves her and appreciate her care and love. We can’t wait to see her again - when the humans go on their next adventure.”


“Tracy was exceptional. She showed sincere care for our aging cat, who has chronic kidney disease. He took a turn for the worse before Tracy was scheduled to care for him, but we were relieved to leave him in such capable hands. Tracy has medical experience with pets and was able to give our cat subQ fluids to help stabilize him. This level of expertise is rare among pet sitters. I can't recommend Tracy highly enough.”


“Abigail was everything we could have hoped for in a sitter! She was responsive and understanding, gave us updates on how our boy was doing, and was very flexible with doing what we asked of her. She took great care of Indigo and he loved her. We will definitely trying to be use her in the future!”


About: I have always been called to help out family and friends with their dogs! I myself had three dogs to care for since I was about 12, I had to do extensive research to get them and was fully responsible for them their whole lives! I go to school and work but I am more than happy to check on your pet when I have breaks and I am available to stay at the house any day of the week! My parents primarily care for my 1 dog at home since I am away most of the year. When we had 3 dogs, I was the primary care giver- I am familiar with feeding, walks, signals of discomfort, and realize when dogs just need some extra attention. I am also willing to do research on every breed I will care for so I am more knowledgable about it.

“Sheri stayed 4 days and nights with Delilah while I was on a work trip out of state. She was in constant communication with me, sending pictures and anecdotes. I had absolutely no worries knowing Sheri was handling things at home, giving Delilah all her love and attention. She left my place in perfect condition. I will definitely book with Sheri again!”


About: I have an Associates of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology. I am knowledgeable and capable of taking care of special needs pets from babies to seniors. I am competent in giving medications (injections, tablets, capsules, topicals). I am currently working full time at an animal clinic. I am looking for something to fill my day off on Thursdays as well as my nights when I am not working. I change litter boxes, take pets on walks, clean up accidents, play, feed and cuddle your babies. I am able to administer medications as well.

“Savanah did a great job! Scarlett is an anxious girl but Savanah was very patient and didn’t push Scarlett too much! She kept us in the loop and sent lots of pictures, she even vacuumed the house. I would definitely have Savanah watch our Scarlett again!”


About: I have 10 years of experience as a vet tech. I have cared for all age ranges in cats and dogs and I have no issues with giving medications and most medical issues. I have been doing pet sitting since I started vet teching 10 years ago! I’ve done check-ins, walks, overnights, and day care for friends, family’s, clients at work, and neighbors! I am free all day to stay at your house Saturday-Monday but work 10 hour days Tuesday-Friday so would not be able to check in for potty break other than lunch break on those days. I currently work at a speciality veterinary hospital in ABQ from Tuesday through Friday until about 6pm! Can’t wait to meet your fur babies and given them all the love! I have a fenced yard with lots of trees and shading. Two playful dogs who love ball and being outside and lots of places to explore in my backyard.

About: I have pet and house sat many friends over the years. I am extremely responsible and dependable. I have raised and cared for both dogs and cats! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so it's very easy for me to move around town and be in another location during the week. I prefer to take care of pet's in my clients home because I have three dogs at home. They are friendly, but I think my house is shrinking.
