Dog Walking Tortugas

“Michelle does a great job with our pup!!”

Lindsay L.

About: Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of forming close bonds with a diverse array of dog and cat companions. This firsthand experience has given me valuable insight into the unique needs and behaviors of different breeds and personalities. Whether it's providing enriching playtime for energetic pups or offering soothing companionship to shy or senior cats, I understand the individualized care required to ensure their well-being and happiness. My deep connection with these beloved animals has equipped me with the knowledge and empathy needed to properly care for them, making me a reliable and compassionate caretaker for your cherished pets. As a dedicated high school senior, I am passionate about pet care and currently work part-time in a pet sitting role as well as a bather and brusher. I am available from 5:30 am to 6 am and from 11 am to 8 pm, ensuring that I can provide attentive care during the early morning and throughout the day. With a genuine love for animals and a strong work ethic, I am committed to delivering reliable and compassionate pet care whenever needed. When it comes to caring for my own pets, I prioritize their well-being and happiness above all else. I provide them with love, attention, and compassionate care, ensuring that their physical and emotional needs are met. Additionally, I understand the importance of discipline and training, as I have successfully addressed and corrected challenging behaviors through patient and extensive training methods. In caring for other people's pets, I apply the same level of love, compassion, and dedication that I give to my own animals. I am committed to fulfilling every request made by the pet owner, ensuring that their beloved companions receive the same standard of care that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it's adhering to specific feeding schedules, administering medication, providing regular exercise, or addressing any behavioral issues, I approach each pet with empathy and respect, striving to create a safe and nurturing environment for them. By leveraging my personal experiences and the high standards I hold for my own pets, I am well-equipped to meet the unique needs of every animal in my care. I am dedicated to building trust with both the pets and their owners, providing peace of mind and a sense of security while they are in my care.

“Jazmin is responsible, dependable and caring. She is alert about plants that are dangerous for dogs and vigilant about keeping our dogs safe. She is kind and my dogs love her. I am so grateful for her since I have a chronic illness and can’t walk them like I used to. She really is the best!!”

About: I have direct experience with the specialized care of my own hairless cat, along with years of supportive care for family dogs of all sizes and temperaments (including poodles, chihuahuas, pitbulls, and cane corsos). I’m comfortable adapting to different breeds, personalities, and care routines by providing daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight sitting. I’m a student with flexible availability to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Though I prefer morning through mid-afternoon walks, I’m also available for evening visits and overnight stays. My princesita gets everything she demands, from punctual feedings to constant cuddles. Since I understand the importance of a pet’s comfort in their own space, I’m happy to provide personalized care for all breeds and lifestyles. I’m especially accustomed to frequent cleaning and preening, ready to scoop, bag, and scrub as needed.

About: I bring two years of prior experience as a Rover pet and house sitter, meaning I already understand the high level of trust, communication, and respect required when stepping into your home and caring for your furry family members. At 27 years old, I offer a mature, highly responsible, and attentive approach to pet care. I pride myself on being deeply observant of a pet's energy and health, ensuring they stay safe, active, and completely at ease while you are away. >Flexible Server Schedule with Great Availability Because I work as a server, my weekly schedule is highly flexible and leaves me with large blocks of open time during the day. This structure allows me to easily prioritize pet care and drop in when your animals need it most. Whether you need regular house sitting, daytime check-ins, or mid-day walks, I can be readily available with just a little advance notice. I am excellent at managing my time, so you can count on me to be prompt, reliable, and entirely focused on keeping your pets on their normal routines. Safety and trust come from understanding that every animal is unique. My own pets are deeply loved, and a lifetime of living with animals has taught me the importance of balancing their natural daily needs—whether that means high-energy playtime, dedicated exercise, or quiet, uninterrupted relaxation. • Following Your Routine to a T: You know your pet best. I pride myself on being exceptional at following the owner’s specific directions. Whether it’s a strict feeding schedule, specific walking routes, or house rules, I ensure your routines are maintained exactly as you want them to keep your pet's stress levels zero. • In Your Home: Because I focus heavily on house sitting, my priority is maintaining a secure environment. I double-check locks, secure gates, and keep a highly attentive eye on your pet's body language and well-being in their own comfortable surroundings. • In My Home: When I do care for pets in my home, they receive constant, vigilant supervision. I keep the environment calm, organized, and closely managed so that every animal feels safe and gets the personal attention they deserve.

About: I am comfortable working with multiple dogs at once. I have experience with up to 5 dogs at one time. I am used to puppies, adults and elder dogs. I am a recent graduate currently looking for fulltime employment so my availability is open and I am flexible when it comes to fitting pet care into my routine. I am detail oriented, respectful and can follow instructions on how you would like me to care for your pet. I have experience working with dogs and cats and am comfortable in multi-pet homes.

About: I've been around pets and farm animals my whole life, from puppies to palliative care, eyedrops to emergency surgery trips- my compassion for creatures helps me stay in tune with their needs and my experience tells me what to be alert to. Whether your pal just needs a morning walk or a whole care routine, I'm there for it! I've sat for friends neighbors and relatives, as well as 3 years on Trusted Housesitters with a dozen happy pet parents. I'm self employed and regularly walk and run in and around Las Cruces- I'd love to take your furry family members on an adventure! Or if couch cuddles are more their style, it's easy to bring my work to your home to keep them company. I will keep your pet's routine in your home, or take them for a hike if you're comfortable with that. Whether your pet sleeps in bed with you or in a crate, I'm happy to do whatever they're used to.

“We love Cienna. She is reliable, has been able to accommodate last minute requests and takes great care of our fur baby. Thanks Cienna!”

“Michelle is such a joy to work with. She was accommodating to meet the boys prior to their first walk, and they all took to each other quite well. She's thoughtful in her walk activities to their individual needs and environmental concerns (like the heat and sun). The rover cards are always wl documented and provided with plenty of cute photos.”

About: Don't worry, while you are away your cat or dog will receive lots of snuggles and belly rubs and all the playtime and walks he/she could ever want. I enjoy all types of dogs and cats both big and small. I am a very active person and have no problem going on long walks or runs for pets needing extra exercise.I have a pickup, so I can take dogs on hikes or to the lake for added fun.I cannot wait to meet your best friend. HOUSE/PET SITTING, DROP BY VISITS, AND DOG WALKING ARE AVAILABLE. I am currently working at the school district. I would be able to come in and check on your animals in the morning before work, around lunch time, in the later afternoon, evenings, and at night. I also have most weekends and holidays off for anyone needing weekend/holiday animal care. I have 2 months off in the summer to house sit or visit your pets multiple times a day. I do have my own dog and will need to spend time at my own house to take care of him as well. But don’t worry, I won’t forget about your fur baby. I love going on walks with my own dog and spending as much time outside as possible. I would be more than willing to spend several hours taking your pet for walks, playing, shopping (for treats of course) and maybe just spending some time with them while you are away.
