House Sitting Uptown

“As usual, Alexus did a fantastic job sitting for my dogs for a few days. She really goes above and beyond and it’s clear my girls absolutely love her!”

“Marty was super communicative with lots of photos and updates of my dude, which is so important to anxious dog parents! He is super positive and accommodating - he even shoveled my sidewalk after a snowfall! And he was flexible when I had unexpected travel delays to make sure my dog wasn’t left alone! Really happy to have found Marty!”

Jill T.

“Leah was more than a dream come true for me. My dogs gravitated towards her and she was very thoughtful and thorough with her care. I couldn’t ask for more from her. Leah sent many photos and videos and made sure to help even my anxieties. So fortunate to have found Leah!”

Rachel S.

“Our dog was very happy with Amber. Will definitely hire her again.”

“Was absolutely spectacular! Kept me up to date with everything. Was quick to respond to communication. I can't say how much I appreciate her being able to do this last minute!”

Geoffrey & Danyul W.

“August did a great job house sitting for our dogs and cats. One of our dogs was slow to warm up, and August communicated with us promptly about his concerns and patiently did all of our suggestions until they were buddies. I will be booking again!”

About: A little about me: I’ve had a dog by my side every day since I was six years old — dogs are an integral part of my life, not just something I do on the side. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament, from tiny lap dogs to a 90-pound Labrador, and from bouncy puppies to dogs in their older years. Experience: My deepest experience is with senior and special-needs dogs. My Labrador had a series of health challenges, including three separate leg surgeries. I nursed him through every recovery, which meant walking him with a support sling until he was back on his feet. When he was later diagnosed with cancer, I cared for him through hospice at home — giving his daily medications and keeping him comfortable and loved right to the end. So if your older dog needs medication, a little mobility help, or just extra patience and gentleness, that’s something I genuinely know how to do. I’m just as comfortable with high-energy dogs. That same Labrador was a handful in his younger years, so I know what it takes to keep a strong, active dog happy and well-exercised. I also love puppies and understand the patience and consistency they need. I’m happy to walk more than one dog at a time, and I have experience with leash-reactive dogs — I know how to keep walks calm, controlled, and low-stress for a dog who needs a little extra management. Right now I share my home with two girls — a 15-year-old Chihuahua mix and a 2-year-old Cairn Terrier — so both ends of the age spectrum are part of my daily routine. Before them I’ve cared for several terriers and a Border Collie mix, among others. I walk my own dogs every single day and I’ll keep yours on a good routine too. I’ve also dog-sat for family and friends who were thrilled with the care I provided — beyond looking after their dogs, I kept their homes tidy, watered plants, and brought in mail, treating each home with the same respect I’d give my own. Services: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting: • Dog walking — I keep dogs safely leashed and give them a proper outing with a good sniff, steady exercise, and a potty break, adjusting the length and pace sensibly for the weather. • Drop-in visits — I come to your home to feed, refresh water, handle potty breaks, play, and give plenty of affection, plus tidy up any little messes before I head out. • House sitting — I stay overnight in your home and keep your dog’s whole world running on schedule (feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and steady company) while also looking after your place by keeping it tidy, bringing in the mail, and watering plants. Availability: I work from home and set my own hours, so I’m around for your dog far more than the average sitter — and I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Pet care is the center of my day, not an afterthought, which means real time and attention whether it’s a midday walk, an unhurried drop-in, or being present in your home throughout the day on an overnight stay. The only exception is the occasional family commitment, which I always know about well in advance, so I can be upfront about my availability every single time. Peace of mind: Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m always happy to send photo and video updates so you can see your pup having a good time, and I’ll check in as often as you’d like while you’re away. And should anything ever go wrong, I’m able to drive your dog to the vet in an emergency — so you can travel with real peace of mind. Pet care is the center of my daily routine. I work from home, my schedule is very open and flexible, so I can build my day around your dog's needs rather than squeezing them in. The only exception is the occasional family commitment I schedule around, and because those are always planned well in advance, I'll always know my availability far ahead of time and can be upfront with you about it. To give you a sense of how I run a day: my own dogs eat at 8am and 6pm, get a 20–40 minute walk in the evening, and I stay attentive throughout the day to when they need to go out. My younger dog gets dedicated playtime with her toys, and my senior girl gets her medication right on schedule every other day. I keep that same consistency and attention for any dog in my care — sticking to your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication, and potty routine so their world stays steady while you're away. When I care for your dog in your home, safety comes first. I keep all doors and gates closed and latched, and I'm constantly aware of where your dog is — especially any time I'm heading in or out, so there's no chance of an escape. I follow whatever house rules and routines you set. I also treat your home with the same respect I give my own. When I dog-sat for family and friends, I kept their house tidy, watered their plants, and brought in mail while they were away. I will leave your home just as you left it, keep you updated with photos while you're gone, and communicate quickly about anything that comes up. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house in good order.

“It’s so hard to trust anyone with the most important creature in your life, but Erin made me feel at ease. She came and met my dog, worked slowly with her while she gained my dogs trust, and was extremely responsive and reliable. She and my dog became friends during my time away, and that shows me how trustworthy Erin really is. I appreciated the constant updates while I was away and will definitely be contacting Erin again in the future to help take care of my girl.”

“Luca was very attentive and thoughtful when it came to caring for my pets. He was kind, communicative, and easy to work with. I truly enjoyed receiving pictures of my animals each day I was gone.”

Stephanie K.

“Shelby was great! She stayed in communication and notified me when she arrived and daily updates while we were gone. Our pup loved her and enjoyed her time under her care.”

About: I’m a responsible and dependable college student who enjoys being active and spending time with pets. Being a four-year basketball and track athlete taught me discipline, communication, and responsibility. I’m comfortable following schedules, going on walks, giving pets attention, and respecting people’s homes while house sitting. I’m a UNM student with classes ending by 3:30 PM at the latest each weekday. I’m available afterward to walk, care for, and spend quality time with your dog/dogs! I also have more flexibility on weekends. I take safety and trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

“Sonja did such a great job taking care of our energetic pup! She sent many photos and updates daily while we were out of town. Thank you, Sonja!”

Carlos G.

“Donna did a great job staying in our home & caring for our pup & cat over Thanksgiving! She was communicative, sent photos & updates every day. She also asked before she took our pup anywhere to clear the location with us, which was much appreciated. (We have a very friendly, social dog who loves people & other animals so we were happy she got more socialization while were gone.) She also followed the long routine for each animal, and was a total trooper when our garage opener inconveniently died. she left our house in great shape & even stripped the bed. Will definitely use her services again!”

“Greg was patient with both me and the boisterous beasts. He looked after the gardens, the dogs, the pond, the fish, and our sensibilities. If you have a complicated situation like ours Greg is a super good fit. Highly recommend him.”

About: I started caring for animals when I got my first stray animal when I was 5 and the love never stopped. I currently have my own dog who is the biggest couch potato on the planet but really wants some dog friends to play with. I work a 9-5 and can walk dogs on my lunch break, before or after work, and also board any night of the week. If your dog is here they’ll be treated like part of the family. Animals here sleep in the bed, lay on whatever furniture they want, and get as much as play time as they possibly could want. I can also administer medication if needed, give bath and nail trims, or any other service you may want or need.

“Onrae met with us twice before we left on vacation to meet the dogs and then orient himself with our house sitting needs. Onrae stayed in good communication with us while we were gone for 6 days, including photos. When we returned home, the house was exactly how we left it and the dogs were happy and healthy.”

“Blaise was able to care for our Aussie on late notice, which was much appreciated! Blaise stayed in our house and took great care of the dog and our place. I would hire her again!”

About: I love playing with dogs, and taking care of them. Walks are also not a problem for me. I use to be a dog owner for many years, so I am very aware of how much your little companion means to you. I am also very patient and talented with pet discipline, so if you have a young pup, I am very willing to work with it if need be. I believe it is very important to work with dogs especially when they are little puppies. I work from home full time, and my schedule is fairly flexible. Since I work from home I am able to watch your pet easily. I have a complete fenced backyard, and also a doggy door inside if your pet is trained to use it. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as they can be while you are away.

“Levi was an amazing sitter!! He was very communicative and kind. We will definitely be rebooking and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is nervous about leaving your babies!! I was, and he made the whole experience easy and worry-free. A++++++++++”

Jessica V.

“Can't say enough great things about Amanda! She treated my dog and home like it was her own, which is exactly what I look for in a sitter. I will absolutely go to her the next time I need someone to watch Penny Lane!”
