Pet Sitting Taylor Ranch

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I have experience with both energetic dogs and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a slower pace with extra attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing plenty of affection, supervision, fresh water, exercise, and updates while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer oral medications if needed, reinforce basic training routines, and accommodate any special instructions so your pet receives the care they’re used to at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting while maintaining a reliable routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by treating every pet like my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep pets supervised, provide a clean environment, and make sure they receive attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel secure while you’re away.

“Alexis is so wonderful- she takes the time to play with my cats every time she comes over and she does such a good job keeping the kitty corner cleaned up while I’m away. She’s very sweet and makes me feel much more comfortable leaving home because I know my cats are in excellent hands.”

“Jennifer is my go-to for help with my furry child. I had surgery and couldn’t bend over or pick up litter so I hired her for the week and she was so attentive to my senior cat while I was out of commission. I was here in the house while she worked and utterly useless. But I felt like I could focus on healing myself because I had someone so caring taking care of my Carla. Jennifer really is the best.”

“Brigit did a good job keeping Will fed and his box clean. She also brought in my mail. I doubt he ever came out from under the bed when she was there since he's afraid of everyone but me... Thanks Brigit!”

About: I have trained and raised family dogs growing up. My family loves doberman's so I have a lot of experience with bigger dogs as well as medium more energetic dogs like German shorthaired pointers. I have experience taking care of family friends dogs as well from dogs of any size or breed. I'm currently attending school at UNM on MWF. I am available for early morning and night drop-ins Sunday-Monday as well as afternoon visits on Mondays and Fridays. My dog is high energy. I play with her favorite toys when I get home and take her on daily walks around the neighborhood. My dog loves pats and I give her lots of attention.

About: Volunteered at a vet clinic & pet sat for friends and family & discovered the joy of comforting pets when they're feeling anxious and home sick. I am pursuing a master's in computer science at UNM, and my schedule can be flexible. I will be home for the most part, but if I ever need to step away it's only for a couple hours. My boyfriend and I work as a team in caring for our dogs, and we do the same for our clients. It's normal for your pet to feel homesick, so we do our best to make them feel like they are at home and give them the quality time and affection they are used to from their loved ones ❤️ Baxter is 9 yo pit mix & Chiqui is an 8 yo Pomeranian/chihuahu. We have a small fenced yard and a kennel that Baxter uses for whenever we have to leave the house to run errands. Our dogs sleep in their beds upstairs in our bedroom, and we set up your pet's bed next to us as well. We typically ask clients to bring their pet's bed or crate/kennel and a blanket or toy they like to cuddle with to remind them of home 🤍 If you could also pack their food, food bowl, and leash for their stay, that would be great! 🐾

About: I grew up in rural Texas. Ialways had dogs and cats, and ive always connected with them. My step-dad loved Chows, so they were in my life since I was a small child. I dont think there has been a time where there were no animals in my life. I got laid off in July. My schedule is pretty open, and im trying this out. I do pet sitting in my off time when I am employed, so now I'm just jumping into this head first. I have a home with a big, fenced in back yard. My cat is an indoor kitty, as I live right by Paseo and also a coyote den. I make sure our babies are super safe.

“Jessica is a fantastic cat sitter! She has watched my cat Cookie twice, and both times she was so thorough with her care and made sure Cookie got playtime and cuddles. I will always feel comfortable having Jessica take care of my pets :)”

“I had Reyna watch my miniature dachshund for the weekend and she absolutely fantastic with both me and with him. She was incredibly flexible, calm and kind, and very easy to work with in figuring out rate and schedule. As for Levi she consistently updates with photos and very detailed drop-by descriptions that really made me feel at ease and secure that my little guy was okay while I was away. I will definitely be contacting her if I need a sitter again, that’s for sure.”

About: Hi! My name is Tamyra. I have three large dogs of my own and grew up working with animals — my first job was at a dog boarding facility, and I volunteer at Watermelon Ranch. I also spent two years as a live-in nanny caring for two toddlers and three pets, so I’m experienced with busy households and all kinds of dogs. I treat every dog like family and would love to care for yours! I’m available all summer! I’m graduating from UNM this May, so I’m very flexible and can care for your pets any day of the week. I care for every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. My pup Jilly is truly my best friend, and I bring that same warmth and dedication to every dog I care for. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and joyful environment—keeping their routines, giving them plenty of affection, and making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved at all times.

“Savanah dropped in for a dinner break for my kiddos on short notice as well as tidied up the cat box, started a load of dishes and sheets I had piled up along with making sure the pack was taken care of! Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have over a decade of petsitting experience. My first priority will always be the wellbeing of your pets and home. I love meeting and winning over new animals. I am here to help. I left Omaha, Ne in 2020 for seasonal position with the NPS at Yosemite. That work took me to Charleston then Acadia the following summers. I settled in Asheville for 2 1/2 years before becoming a nomadic petsitter. I feel fortunate and love getting to meet new people and their pets, along with exploring all the corners of our country. I think I am pretty good at this, but am always learning. I have experience with all types of dogs and cats as well as fresh and salt water fish tanks, outdoor fish ponds, and caring for chickens and ducks. I’d love to keep expanding that experience. It is my aim to be the emotional support for your pets while you’re away, and to do my best to maintain their existing routines. I hope to hear from you. Thanks. I am fortunate enough to be semi-nomadic, with a very flexible living situation. I can go anywhere within reason, with enough notice. I love animals, and I love exploring. I follow any instructions or guidelines set out by the pet owner. I also employ common sense. If an animal needs space, they get space. If an animal wants to come along with me, they can- following the pet owner’s rules.

About: I’ve grown up with numerous dogs throughout my entire life. I also love spending time with and caring for other animals including cats, reptiles, horses and other farm animals. I worked for a year at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I would watch over sometimes 20+ dogs at a time. I have dog sat and walked before on Wag! and through family friends. I’ve learned a lot about body language and positive feedback based basic training. I’ve cared for many pets including my own of all ages and who have suffered with various medical conditions and treatment plans. Most of all I just love to love on animals 🙂‍↕️🫶🏻 I’m currently just doing side gigs and focusing on making art throughout my days. I have no hard limits on availability and would love to work with you to fit you and your pets’ schedule! I have a fenced yard with 3-4 dogs at my semi permanent residence. I will mostly reside in a hotel going forward so will not be offering services at my home. I have a Lexus Rx-350 that I’m willing to transport pets in at the owners discretion and with correct safety precautions.

“Amber is very fast to respond and very professional. She even went an additional time to feed my cat when we where delayed. I felt at ease and that helped me enjoy our vacation. Thanks Amber!”

“Sarab was amazing! So communicative and kind. She made our kitties so happy and loved. Thank you thank you!!”

“Highly recommend! During my trip, she provided regular updates and adorable photos. She went above and beyond by playing with my cats, keeping the litter box clean, and fed them appropriately. :)”

“Using Rover for the first time, we chose Jessika based on her good reviews and nearby location. After the meet and greet, my husband and I felt like she would be a caring and reliable sitter for our elderly cat. And she was!! We’d choose her again in the future and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Ashley was amazing! This was my first time “hiring” a pet sitter and not using a friend or family member so it was a little stressful thinking about leaving my babies with someone I didn’t know. My mind was at ease after the first day. One of my cats is very shy and skiddish and I expected her to hide under the bed during Ashley’s visits the entire time. Ashley was able to coax her out on the 2nd visit and pet her and play. After that she would come out on her own and greet Ashley when she came in! It was amazing. She sent pictures and reports after each visit letting me know everybody was eating and using the bathroom and playing. When we got home from our trip, the cats acted as if we had just gone out for dinner and back. They had been taken such good care of while we were gone that they weren’t all over us, starved for affection or acting like we’d abandoned them. I will absolutely call Ashley again to take care of our babies!! Thank you!”
