“Geneva was fantastic with my kitties! She was super responsive and knowledgeable. I felt super comfortable leaving my cats to her for the holidays. Even my cat who is skiddish warmed up quickly to her! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an attentive and friendly sitter. Thanks, Geneva!!”

“Leah is our go-to sitter!! She is reliable, communicative, and so sweet to our fur family. We appreciate her pictures, videos, and diligent care of our three very charismatic kitties. Thanks Leah!! 😻”

“Angela was great with my older dog stopping in for visits. It was clear from photos they had fun and got plenty of love and care. Professional, timely and easy to communicate with - will definitely reach out again for her.”

About: Through my life I have had many breeds of dog. Basset hound, labs, Akita, Australian shepherd and Chow Chow. Additionally I have been a secondary care taker for breeds such as Corgie, Brittany spaniel, pit bull, Belgian Shepard and Pomeranian. I work part time and take classes, and at the moment I do not have a pet of my own so I have plenty of time and energy to walk yours. I have walked dogs in many environments and areas of Albuquerque since I was a child. Safety will always come first, I keep dogs close but I am very willing to let them explore the area in a safe manner. I am very good at intervening and stopping fights between dogs and will always avoid off leash dogs while with your puppy.
“Skyler did such a great job catsitting for our two kitties!! She was very communicative and sent pictures while we were gone. Skyler made sure she knew how to administer our cats medications before we left, and we felt confident in her with her past experience. I would definitely recommend Skyler to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter:)”


“This is the second time we've had Tessa watch our cat, Maxine. Tessa is dependable, communicates well, and is someone we will continue to trust to take care of Maxine.”


“Marilee takes great care of our cats while we’re away. We booked her twice in one month and look forward to rebooking with her whenever we need a sitter.”

“Terrance was able to step in at the last minute and come watch my pup for two days. He did a great job and was very responsive. On time. And a pleasure to have watching my dog. I’m definitely going to keep him as a contact for future bookings. Highly recommended.”

“Hos was wonderful to meet, and my timid kitties liked her right away. She has kept me updated with pictures. I felt so much better traveling knowing she would be checking on my cats.”

“Nicolle is amazing! My husband and I need help with our kitty while we went out of town for a few days. Nicolle came and cared for our kitty just as I would care for her.”
“Dexter agreed to help me and my pets last minute and was a total lifesaver. Very easy to communicate with, professional, and I could tell when I got home that the babes had a good time with him while I was away. I highly recommend!”

“Greg has done several drop ins including one at the very last minute. He is 100% reliable and I completely trust that he will be here when he says he will be here. The dogs appear comfortable and relaxed around him. Thank you Greg!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Lucas! He went above and beyond to make sure my cat was comfortable and cared for while I was gone. He sent updates every day, including photos, which really eased my mind. I definitely recommend him, and will be using his pet sitting services in the future.”

“We had such a great experience with Brigit during a recent trip! She was extremely professional, reliable, efficient, and detail oriented. We especially appreciated her consistency in sending us pictures of our beloved kittens throughout our absence. I would absolutely and enthusiastically opt for her services again.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have poured my love and dedication into every moment I spend with them. I am comfortable and confident in administering medication to dogs, always gentle and patient. Playtime, walkies, baths… they’re more than tasks; they’re opportunities to bond, to share joy, and to show your beloved pet how truly special they are. I am tuned into dog body language, knowing exactly when to give space and when to offer comfort. I don’t force interaction or push boundaries. Yet, I won’t hesitate to get down on the floor, to play, cuddle, and love just like I do with my own furry family. When you call on me, you’re not leaving your precious baby with a stranger - you’re entrusting them to someone who truly believes they are family, deserving of all the love and care in the world. I currently work remote which means I have flexibility throughout the day to visit with your dog - whether that means cuddles, walks, or practicing the tricks we already know. For house sitting, I’m happy to stay with your pet all day (arriving as early as 7:30am and ending the day at 10pm, with a few hours away during lunch and in the afternoon) as long as you have decent WiFi. Please note, I am not able to stay at your home overnight. I believe parents make the rules! I am flexible to your requests because you know what works best for your dogs. Do they need to be crated? Do they need the TV on all night for comfort? Do they need their teeth brushed? Do they need to be walked right before bedtime? I can do it all. I am happy to transport to and from specific walking trails, dog parks, etc.. Want to socialize your dogs but having them leave your house makes you nervous? I can bring my dogs with me to visit your pup! I’ll follow your lead because you know what’s best.
About: I have many years of caring for all types of dogs. I have worked with puppies, seniors, reactive/fearful dogs, and working/high energy breeds. I am always up for learning and researching new techniques and skills when it comes to dogs. I have fostered dogs through my local animal shelter for many years which has given me a lot of experience with rescues. I’ve fostered nursing litters, young puppies, and adult dogs with great success! I am always excited to meet new dogs and learn their personalities and quirks so that I can care for them in a way that works best for the dog! I am newly unemployed and dedicating my time to caring for dogs! My schedule is generally pretty flexible, which leaves me time to care for your pets in a way that works for you and your dog! I live in a home with a fenced in yard where dogs can play! I have one dog named Olive, and she is the best with fosters we bring into our home. She will take the lead of other dogs and can play for hours, or just hangout calmly and give space to nervous dogs. I believe in crate training and find it very useful for multi dog households, but if your dog isn’t crate trained we can figure something out! Mental and physical stimulation is one of the most important things for dogs, so I incorporate walks, brain games, and structure whenever necessary! I believe that each dog is unique, so I like to follow their lead in terms of what they require to be fulfilled!

Brigit did a great job caring for our kitty. I like that she sent a picture of our cat each time she came over. I will definitely call on Brigit again when needing someone to take care of our kitty. She’s reliable and knowing she was there for us made me feel less stressed while I was away.

We hired Levi to watch our cats while gone for 3 weeks out of the country. He did multiple daily checks that involved several tasks, including litter management, feeding, playing, and also took care of our plants. He was easy to get ahold of and is great to work with. Will definitely be using him again.

Jenna was amazing! She was great at giving updates and sending cute photos of my pup every day. My dog was very comfortable with her. I appreciated that she took my packages inside so I feel she is trustworthy. Thank you Jenna for easing my mind during the holiday season with my dog!! It was a huge help. I will definitely rebook in the future.
