House Sitting in Tijeras Arroyo, Albuquerque

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with both. I currently have four cats of my own and volunteer at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where I help make sure every homeless kitty gets the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting and walking for friends and neighbors since middle school, I’ve worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. There, I was responsible for supervising group play, feeding dogs with specific dietary needs, administering medications (including pills and liquids), bathing dogs, and keeping their environment clean, safe, and fun. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, a nice walk, or making sure your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family! I’m available full-time throughout the summer for pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins! In August, I’ll be moving to Albuquerque for school, but I’ll still be visiting Santa Fe regularly and will update my availability as needed. Once the school year starts, I’ll have more limited availability in Santa Fe, but I’ll still try to accommodate whenever I’m in town! In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own space. I follow feeding routines, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give them all the attention they need. For dogs, I love going on walks and spending time outdoors. For cats, I offer lots of affection (when they want it!) and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. Whether it’s staying overnight or stopping by for a check-in, I always treat every pet like my own.

“Elliot was great! It was very helpful that she was able to sit for me a bit last minute. She was very kind and kept me updated about how Olivia was doing while I was gone. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Brigit was wonderful. She worked with our incredibly complicated schedule without issue. Our dog really seemed to love her company. Very responsive during the day if we needed her. Left the house very clean and she was super considerate. Would 100% recommend.”

“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.”

“Rachel was a great sitter. Sent me tons of photos and took Sam all over the city to different parks. You could tell from the photos that Sam was having the time of his life. Will definitely book her again!”

Jackie K.

“Regi was so sweet, and so attentive with my dogs! I could tell they felt happy and safe with her. I will absolutely ask to her to dog-sit again!”

Megan G.

“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”

Katie C.

“Took great care of our dog and our friends dog, and kept the house so clean while house sitting. Responsive, flexible, and the dogs were very happy with her.”

Brendan C.

“We thought Hoss did a terrific job. She was communicative, professional, and very loving to our two cats, who we like to describe as being needy. She sent us photos, kept us updated, and took care of the house. We couldn’t be happier.”

Tom A.

“Max is one of the best sitters we’ve had! Communication with max was quick and easy. He sent me updates on how my dogs were doing and when he arrived. Max was gentle and understanding with my barky and insecure pit bull. Aldo really warmed up to him quickly and felt comfortable with him. Will definitey rebook Max in the future.”

Celynda P.

“Susana took such great care of Remi when we were away for 12 days. She stayed in contact with me and sent pictures which was reassuring that my pup was doing okay, and he was so well cared for. I’m so grateful for Susana!”

Radha D.

“Candace watched our fur babies while we were on a trip she did a amazing job with them. They loved being around here, it was nice knowing they were in good hands and that we didn’t have to worry about them. We will definitely be using her again.”

Whether we’re hanging out at your place or mine, I make sure every pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’m down for whatever—park adventures, yard play, chill time, or snuggles on the couch. I’ve got some flexibility in my schedule too, so I can work around your pet’s routine. Your dog’s happiness is always my priority!

With my online classes and open days, I’m able to provide lots of love, attention, and playtime throughout the week! I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and cozy space where your pup can feel totally at ease! At my place, there are comfy dog beds for napping, toys for playtime, and plenty of love to go around.

I stick to their routine, follow your instructions closely, and always keep their safety and comfort top of mind. Whether we’re hanging out at your home or mine, your pup will be in good hands and good vibes!

“Samantha was super sweet to our two older dogs, giving them cuddles and special food, and going way above and beyond both in terms of kindness and punctuality. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again...as a matter of fact, we already HAVE ❤️ 🐾”

“Regan took great care of our fur babies and communicated very well. I really appreciated her straight forward and honest communication. Thank you so much for helping us out in a pinch!”

“Cristina is absolutely amazing. When our flights got delayed, leaving us trapped overnight, she stayed an extra night with our dog. She's one of the best dog sitters we've ever had.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12, both my own and family members’. In more recent years, I’ve expanded to helping out anyone who needs it, whether they need me to stay for a week or just pop in for a quick break outside. I’m currently out of work, so aside from a couple weekend trips out of state, I’m completely free until classes start at the end of August! I’ll always keep a close eye on pets when let outside, I can easily crate them if applicable, I’ll always be sure they have plenty of water and are fed on time, and I’ll gladly walk and play with them anytime!

“Our dog and cat loved Meredith, and we did too. She was everything we were looking for in a pet and housesitter. Meredith had great communication skills, responding instantly to our texts and providing exactly the info requested. Plus, she provided daily videos of our pets that showed how safe and relaxed they felt with her. She even tracked our flight home online to make sure we'd landed safely and assured us she would stay late if we were delayed. She left the house spotless. Knowing Meredith is a Registered Vet Tech only added to the peace of mind we felt leaving our fur babies in her care. We will absolutely book with her again.”

“Marissa did a great job with house sitting after we had a last minute cancellation and was a lifesaver.”
