House Sitting in Tesuque

“Marissa took great care of our dogs and our home. She stayed in communication with us and we loved getting photos of our dogs while we were away. I think our house was actually cleaner when we got home than when we left. I hope she will be available the next time we need dog sitting services!”

“It was only an overnight house sitting, but the next morning when I came back, one of my dogs went to her for cuddles even though I was there. I took this as a very good sign of how she treated my pampered doggies.”

“Lise is the best dog sitter I've ever had. She's communicative, caring and conscientious. Dogs and cat were happy when I arrived home and everything was in order. I will use her again and again to care for my animals.”

Lisa R.

“We got multiple updates and our dogs were very happy and well looked after.”

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!!”

“Mona did a fantastic job watching Copper for an extended period of time. Even though Copper is a larger dog she did not have any issues, and sent plenty of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable house/dogsitter!”

“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.

“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.

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

Pamela H.

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

“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.”

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.

“Jean-Philippe provided great in-house care for our two dogs (senior dog and rambunctious 11 month puppy) and five cats while we were gone for a week. His constant presence in the house clearly kept the pets reassured, and they all were relaxed when we got home, unlike many previous trips where we just pet sitters stopping by. Jean-Philippe left our house very clean and we could hardly tell he'd been there!”

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.

“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 cared for dogs and cats my whole life so I understand the basics of training and taking care of them. I currently have an orange tabby named Prince who gets along super well with other dogs and cats! No worries if your pet doesn’t get along with others though, I can also have other people watch him while yours stays. I can care for pets whenever, I have classes throughout the week but since I stay on campus I’m never more than 5 minutes walking distance away from my dorm. On average I have about 3 hours of classes per week day so I’m home the rest of the time. I will be able to board always and do dog walks any day of the week. I have reliable transportation as well. My dorm is quite large so I have space to take care of pets, as well as toys and food and a litter box for cats if you can’t bring yours. I also live in a very outdoorsy campus so I can take dogs on long nature walks.

“This was just an incredibly comforting and calming experience for us, as the first time we've left our little baby girl with someone else. We got amazing updates, even poem like updates, and pictures, and great, warm feelings.”

“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.”

Anaissa R.

“This is the second time Rhiannon has watched our dogs and she was great! My dogs love her! Even my sassy husky doesn’t give her trouble the way he does us. And she did the bed sheets so we came home to a clean bed!”
