House Sitting in Tesuque

“Marissa is a dog owners dream. She is a warm and friendly person and my Doberman loved her immediately. While we were away Marissa sent us pictures and an update on a daily basis. She also reinforced Dax’s skills. To top it off, Marissa left our house in immaculate condition and our dog happy and well taken care of. We have already booked Marissa for two more trips this Fall. She is a terrific dog and house sitter.”

“We are so fortunate to have found Vicki on our trip to Santa Fe! Vicki was fabulous day sitting our two dogs. One is very shy and warmed up to Vicki quickly! This almost never happens! We credit Vicki’s wonderful energy, patience and genuine love for dogs.”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and hands-on experience caring for pets of different ages and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I also volunteered for two years at the Santa Fe Humane Society, where I gained experience working with a variety of dogs and learned how to stay patient, attentive, and calm in different situations. I’m reliable, caring, and focused on making sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have a dog of my own, so I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets consistent attention throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my weekly schedule. I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any special routines their pet is used to. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.

“Steven was wonderful! He took the time to meet and ask all about Stella’s little quirks prior to me leaving.. and provided me all the updates when I was gone. I came back to a very happy pup!!”

“Joy did a great job caring for Tillie and Ranger. They were both worn out! Thank you Joy.”

Pamela H.

“Mona took great care of our dog. She listened to all of our special needs and was able to provide comfort to our dog while we were gone. I would highly recommend Mona and will be using her again in the near future.”

“Ashlee took great care of our pooches including our incredibly energetic German Shepherd puppy! Her communication, complete with pictures, was great as well. Plus she left our home in at least as good shape as we left it. We’d be happy to book her again!”

Adam S.

“He did a great job and sent lots of pictures and updates!”

Hampton G.

“This was my first trip away since the pandemic and I never once worried about my pup or my home while I was gone. When I cam home, the house was clean and Timber was relaxed and happy! Thank you Joshua!”

Sarah W.

“She hit it off with my dogs right away, which was a pretty big green flag. My dogs are in kind of a unique situation where they needed to follow some extra rules to keep them separate and safe, and she did a great job of maintaining that. She sent pictures and photos of the pups while I was gone too, and it was really cute to see them having fun.”

Kalista T.

“Jean-Philippe stayed with our three pets for almost three weeks. He was very attentive and was able to devote much of his time to our animals, which was necessary for our high energy puppy. Everyone was very happy when we arrived home and our house was left spotless.”

Tess D.

“Abby watched our dog Churro for the first time last week. She was very communicative and we came home to a happy pup and clean house. Thanks Abby!”

About: I have many years of experience with all dog breeds. My dog gets along great with other dogs too, so I’d love to introduce them if you would be open to that! I recently moved to Santa Fe from Boston for a new job opportunity. I am so excited to meet new clients and build bonds with your fur babies! I always walk dogs on a leash. I can also run with them if they prefer more intense exercise (or if you just want them to burn some energy so they get more sleep 😊). My partner and I work different shifts within normal business hours, so there is minimal time that your pet would be alone in our home. I would be off work by the afternoon every day and we have weekends off, so lots of opportunities for walks and visits! In my home, I always try to keep a close eye on them until I am comfortable with my familiarity of their behavior. I always watch them when they are outside. I am very accommodating to what makes them the most comfortable; for example, if the dog is used to sleeping on the bed with their humans, I am okay with having them sleep on my bed for the duration of their stay.

About: Since I moved to the United States from France twenty years ago, my 5 best friends had been my 5 dogs. I took great care of my dogs as though they were my children, until they all passed from old age. I have been loving all animals my entire life. I currently do not have pets due to the suffering I recently went through when my last dog Betsy passed away. When I’m not designing digitally or playing shows across New Mexico, I’m working from home with a completely flexible schedule. This means I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! From midday potty breaks and fun games to long neighborhood walks, I’m ready to keep your furry friends company. When I care for pets in their own space, my priority is maintaining their established comfort zone and keeping their anxiety to an absolute minimum. Respecting the Home Ecosystem: I follow your exact house rules (e.g., allowed on the couch vs. floor-only, specific feeding spots, crating routines). The "Work from Your Home" Benefit: For overnight or extended house sitting, I bring my laptop and work right from your living room or kitchen table. Your pet gets the same "companion presence" they would get if you were home on a weekend. High-Quality Drop-Ins: For quick visits, I’m thorough. I don’t just rush in, scoop the food, and leave. I ensure the water bowl is scrubbed, accidents are checked for, and your pet gets dedicated, uninterrupted one-on-one affection and playtime. Security & Communication: I leave your home exactly as I found it (lock checks, bringing in mail/packages) and send you regular photo and text updates so you can see how happy and relaxed they are.

“Vivienne was AMAZING! I was very glad when she agreed to a meet and greet and got to meet my pup and get a rundown of the house and our routine, and she delivered perfectly. I could tell my pup felt right at home with her, and was very happy to go with her on a coffee run. She took great care of her, we’ll definitely be rebooking.”

“I’m so happy we found Brittany to watch our two pups and cat while we went on vacation. She went above and beyond leaving the house super clean and even watering all of the plants. Most importantly the dogs, and cat loved her. She spent a ton of time with them and they got in lots of walks and activity. We will definitely book Brittany again, thanks so much! ??”

“We cannot say enough about Karen-Joyce. She is professional, reliable, pays attention to the details, and took great care of our pets and home. We will use her as often as she’s available when we travel. Meg Zahner”
