“She did an amazing job taking care of my cats over the holidays. The daily photos showed how happy they were, she played with them, and even vacuumed their area without being asked. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care.”

About: I have been around cats since I was young and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. I really appreciate how unique they are and understand that they each have their own personalities, boundaries, and comfort levels that need to be respected. ❤️ I currently spend a lot of time around cats as well because my boyfriend has cats, so I’m very familiar with day-to-day cat behavior, routines, and creating a calm environment for them. I understand that earning a cat’s trust takes patience and gentle care, and I always let them approach on their own terms. 🫶🏻🥹
“Second time requesting Michelle’s services and super happy with everything! She was always in contact with us, always sending pictures of our kitties and she left our house in perfect conditions after 5 days of night sitting our babies. Definitely a trustworthy person. 5 starts service!”
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
About: I’ve gained hands on experience working with cats in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with handling, monitoring, and daily care. I regularly work with cats of all temperaments from friendly and social to shy or more sensitive cats that need a calm, patient approach. I also help care for boarding cats at the clinic, where I’m responsible for maintaining their routines, keeping their spaces clean, monitoring their behavior, and ensuring medications are administered accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience working with cats in both medical and boarding environments, especially those who may be stressed or away from home. Outside of the clinic, I focus on creating a comfortable, low-stress environment where cats can feel safe and stick to their normal routines.
About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals, both typical and exotic species of pets. I have AZA training in caring for reptiles and birds, have handled dangerous reptiles and amphibians, and have taken care of my own range of pets over the years. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I substitute teach for a local school district and can adjust my schedule to visit and properly care for your pet in your home. If you give me your instructions in how your pet should be looked after and cared for, I will follow your every instruction. I can even be innovative in terms of providing enrichment or treats to reward your pets for proper behavior. I won’t be able to host your pets in my home, but rest assured that I will be able to take care of your pet in your home and that nothing will be out of place.

About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.
“Megan and her adorable children took excellent care of Iggy! He came back happy and pleasantly tired. She is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Makes me feel very happy to know he is in such a caring place.”
“Very pleased with Anna and her care of Loki. Loki was excited to see me, got home and was exhausted which is great since Loki is high energy. He played alot with her two dogs. Anna provided me with a recap of his day and photos! All in all very content. Thank you Anna and see you soon.”
About: Going to college to become a Veterinarian to run my own clinic. Studying Animal Sciences and Rangelands. Have always owned Dogs or pets. Believes animals are better than being around people. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
“Bella had an amazing time! She is worn out from her walks and play. Kathryn is amazing, really cares about the pups she keeps and keeps you updated throughout the day with plenty photos and videos 🥹. 10/10 would definitely recommend.”
About: I started dog sitting when I was young, and am experienced with all breeds, sizes, temperament and needs of dogs. Before moving to New Mexico I was even a professional trainer for a few years and I miss it so much! I am knowledgeable and experienced and will take wonderful care of your pup. I do not work so I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog all the love and attention they need. I do have 5 dogs of my own, however can easily keep them separate if needed I have a fenced yard and live next to a park so tons of space for exercise and enrichment! My car has durable crates to ensure your pet is transported safely.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
“This was my first time ever utilizing the app. I was so nervous and worried. She ensured me all would be fine. Sophia sent pictures along the way. She did amazing. She will definitely be my Mercedes favorite person in no time. 🩷”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: I have been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always had pets in my home since I was a child. I truly love all animals and feel very comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. ❤️ I currently have my own dog, so I understand daily routines, responsibility, and how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and loved. I started dog sitting for family members around age 15, caring for pets of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, playtime, and overnight stays. This gave me hands on experience maintaining routines and understanding different pet personalities. I am also comfortable administering basic medications such as oral pills and topical treatments, always following owner instructions carefully. I worked at PetSmart as a dog bather, where I gained experience safely bathing dogs, handling different coat types, and keeping pets calm and comfortable during grooming. This helped me develop patience, gentle handling skills, and the ability to read animal behavior. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel at ease. 🐶🐱🫶🏻 I work full time, but I’m available for weekday walks and weekend pet sitting when you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away. 🩷 A typical day in my care is calm, relaxed, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and loved. I enjoy spending time with them throughout the day, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or simply keeping them company so they don’t feel alone. 🥹 I make sure to follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I also take time for enrichment and exercise, whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or engaging them with toys. For pets who enjoy it, I also offer plenty of affection and cuddles, while always respecting their boundaries and letting them set the pace. My goal is to create a safe, low stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and cared for. ❤️

But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!
About: Animals have always been part of my life. I grew up with barn cats and have cared for dogs since childhood, giving me real experience and a natural, loving approach to pet care. I work Monday through Wednesday. I can also work Friday and Saturday if needed, and prefer to have Sundays off to maintain a balanced schedule. Currently living in a townhouse with a small fenced yard. Living with three dogs, we have 2 crates we use when all occupants are out of the house.
About: I have experience with a wide variety of animals, both typical and exotic species of pets. I have AZA training in caring for reptiles and birds, have handled dangerous reptiles and amphibians, and have taken care of my own range of pets over the years. I have a pretty flexible schedule as I substitute teach for a local school district and can adjust my schedule to visit and properly care for your pet in your home. If you give me your instructions in how your pet should be looked after and cared for, I will follow your every instruction. I can even be innovative in terms of providing enrichment or treats to reward your pets for proper behavior. I won’t be able to host your pets in my home, but rest assured that I will be able to take care of your pet in your home and that nothing will be out of place.
About: Hello! My name’s Sharik (or Shar for short), and I’ve been caring for fur babies for about 15 years. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my experience, but my genuine love for animals and my hands-on approach to their care. I’ve worked with both senior dogs and puppies, but my true expertise is with cats. I currently have three cats of my own and have had many more over my 23 years, so I’m well-versed in understanding their behavior and needs. Whether it’s helping a senior dog stay comfortable or giving a puppy the attention and training they need, I pride myself on providing personalized care tailored to each pet. I take this job seriously because I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering them the love and attention I would want for my own animals. I make sure every pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for, whether they’re young, old, or somewhere in between. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. I make sure to plan my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or administering medications. I maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, ensuring they get the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, calm environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I have a pet-friendly space with plenty of room to roam, cozy spots to rest, and lots of playtime to keep them entertained. For cats, I ensure their space is quiet and stress-free, with plenty of hiding spots and enrichment activities. I also take extra precautions to pet-proof my home, keeping hazardous items out of reach and making sure the environment is safe for curious paws.
About: Hi! I’m someone who truly sees dogs as family not just pets. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and love, I’m comfortable with all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m compassionate, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just giving them the comfort and companionship they deserve while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I treat every dog I watch with the same love and care I give my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and right at home. As a full-time stay-at-home mom to my little ones, my days are built around care, routine, and a lot of love which naturally carries over into how I care for dogs. Our home is already full of activity, structure, and warmth, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment for dogs. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to easily fit in walks, playtime, feedings, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening care, I’m able to stay flexible and consistent with each dog’s routine. Having little ones also means we spend a lot of time outdoors and staying active, so dogs in my care get plenty of movement, stimulation, and companionship. Balancing motherhood and dog care comes naturally to me because both are rooted in patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. I’m used to multitasking, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone in my care feels safe, happy, and cared for. I have an unfenced yard and 1 friendly medium sized male dog to keep your fur baby company, friendly neighborhood, dog park up the road
“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.”

“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
“Leo and his family took excellent care of our beloved Rocky!!! He kept close contact with us by sending us photos and video of the great time our pooch was having. Rocky came back happy, healthy, and relaxed! We will definitely have Leo take care of Rocky in the near future!”
“This is my third time boarding my dog Pax with Louisa. She is great! Pax loves her and I feel confident leaving pax with her knowing she will feed him on schedule, walk him, give him lots of rubs, and send me updates daily.”
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
“What great people! They were exceptional people to leave our dog and cat with. They took such great care of them and I could tell our pets missed them when I brought them when I brought them back home. They kept me up to date on how they were doing and even took my dog on a trip with them so he could get all the exercise he wanted! Definitely recommend and would use them again.”

“We can’t say enough great things about Natalie! This was the first time we left our dogs in someone else’s care, and we never once felt uncertain about her. She came by ahead of time to meet them, and we knew right away she was the perfect fit. She’s loving, kind, and incredibly personable with our dogs. Throughout our time away, she sent daily photos and videos that reassured us our dogs were happy and well cared for. We’ll absolutely be using her again!”
About: Dogs are my best friends. Rover is a blessing in the fact I can do what I love and love to do and that is care and talk to dogs. My home and time are available 24 hours a day. For a pet owner to have a 24 hour emergency or non emergency sitter is awesome and that’s what I can provide My house is poodle proof!! I can handle when the dog is to smart for their britches and I can handle slower and meaner dogs. :).
“Here’s a cleaner, grammatically improved version while keeping your tone: Jennifer was excellent at taking care of my dog. I was in town to attend a concert, and at the last minute she was able to take care of my dog for the night. She responded quickly and provided constant updates. It definitely gave me peace of mind that my dog was in good hands!”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
“I really felt my Bella was safe with Kathryn and appreciated her updates and fast responses to my inquiries. I will definitely use Kathryn again when I return to visit El Paso in the future.”
