“Valarie stepped in and really helped out when I needed a last minute change. I appreciated her approach to my elderly chihuahua and my dog really liked her.”
“Cristina was absolutely wonderful to our kitties - she sent photos and even got our shy boy to interact! I really appreciated how she kept in touch and did an initial meet & greet before our trip. 10/10, best sitter ever!”
“Joel was amazing with our kitty, Nala, and he went the extra mile in checking in with us while we were gone...not just about Nala, but also things he found askew around the house. We are really grateful for his attention and care. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an attentive and caring sitter. We will definitely be booking him again!”
“Celine was great! She did everything we talked about in our meet and greet and maintained excellent communication. I was able to relax on my trip and not have to worry how my cat was doing at home”
“wonderful job once again. Second time I’ve used Alyssa and my cat Max has already started accepting her. He is normallyquite picky and usually afraid of everyone.”
“Shannon, as always, thanks for taking such Wonderful care of our little Lady!!! Your gentleness & love towards her makes me feel so much at ease to leave her in your care while we’re out of town. It’s always hard to leave a “sick child” w/ just anyone, but I Always feel good knowing you guys are taking care of her. Thanks again!! 😉”
“Leslie was so wonderful to my babies. I cannot praise her enough! She helped me when I was in a bind which will not be forgotten. She took pictures of her playing with them with frequent updates, as well. She is definitely worth 5 stars. If there was 6 stars, she would get them!”
“Danielle was very compassion and caring with my little pup! She follows instructions very well and is easy to communicate with! Will be reaching out again to have her visit my pup! Thank you!”
“Lucy was awesome with Lola. It was very comforting to me to know that she was home being taken care of while I had to be away. I’ll never use a kennel again after our experience with Lucy! She’s a wonderful young lady, and will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Thabk you so much Alexa! I'm so glad my fur babies were comfortable with you. I will definitely keep you in my contacts for future sitting! She was great!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.
“Ceara was great with our girls, Samantha and Sasha. She kept in great contact while we were away so that our minds were at ease that they were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again.”
“Rachel did a great job checking in on our 2 large dogs while we were away. We found her to be very responsible, knowledgeable about care, and very friendly and our dogs really took to her. We highly recommend her and would use her again in the future for sure!”
“My cat adored Ali. They played and cuddled, and of course Ali fed her well and groomed her and took good care of her and the house. She reliably kept her appointments for two weeks and sent me great photos and messages twice a day. I will absolutely use Ali's services again!”
“Jesus was super friendly and our pups took to him right away. I received pictures daily and came back to 2 happy and safe dogs! Thank you Jesus will definitely see you again soon!”
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.
About: Dogs are my PASSION! I have been raised around dogs the majority of my life, and involved in non-profit rescue work for over 12 years. Rescues and adopted family members fill my heart with soo much joy! I am experienced with large packs, bully breeds, behavior needs, elder care, medicine management, and special needs. I am certified through ABI-Animal Behavior Institute- and completed my training programs for CACTP (Certified Advanced Canaine Training Professional) and CCTBS (Certified Canine Training Behavior Specialist) and currently focusing on field work hours to attain my CPDT certification in Fall 2025 (Certified Professional Dog Trainer). I work with Behavior Modification dogs at Animal Humane New Mexico alongside my mentor who is also CPDT accredited. My love of animals has been a large part of my life for my entire life. The love and connection that we share with animals, and the beautiful lessons that they have to teach us in this life are worth taking the time to stop and listen to and learn from. Every dog I meet has important works to share with me. Your pets will be like an extension of my own family. I have been a dog mom for over 20 years now, but shared much of my childhood with our family dogs who always brought so much love, joy, and understanding to my life. I knew as an adult that my family would not be complete without dogs, and now my pack completes my family! I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to accomodate the needs of most stays and care needs. I can plan around the needs of your beloved family members needs while balancing my own with in and out ability during day and overnight stay needs. When I am in someone elses home, I take much care and respect of the space that I am in. I will be respectful of house rules and needs. I am even able to do minor care including watering plants, feeding fish, opening blinds, etc.
“Natalya is the BEST. So flexible (we are in the middle of a big addition and temporarily don’t even have a front door any more!) and the dogs adore her. Adore. She is our all time favorite dog sitter and we will 100% use her again if she’ll have us.”
“We rebooked Amber since she did so well with our 5 month and 2 year old pups. She was once again fantastic with great updates and our dogs love her! We’ll definitely be booking her again.”
“Sarah did a great job with taking care of my pets. She followed all the instructions and really cared for them. She is dependable and very caring. So glad she is a rover for me and my pets!”
