“Thank you, Sarah, for taking such good care of Tootsie for my aunt! This was Tootsie's very first time away from home and you treated her like her very own, which was very comforting to us. We appreciated the updates and pictures throughout her stay with you and helped soothe our anxiety. To anyone considering Sarah as a dog sitter, I would have no hesitation recommending her to care for your precious pet.”

“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better Dog Mom for my Dante while I was away on vacation for 8 days. Her personality and the home environment my boy Dante was in felt like I was dropping off my boy at Auntie’s place. I got a video or picture at least 2 times a day! Dante had the opportunity to interact with other good pups and play which I appreciate bc as an 8 month old Doodle he has lots of energy and he got lots of play time. Highly recommend Isabella”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands.🫶🏼 I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and pets are always welcome inside my home where they’ll be treated like family. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel happy and secure.
“Leo was an amazing dog sitter for Marley! He was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, regularly sending updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Marley was calm, happy, and well cared for the entire time. When we returned, Marley was relaxed and content which says everything! We’re so grateful for the care Leo provided and would absolutely trust him again in the future.”
“I had a cancellation from another dog sitter and scrambled to find another one. I looked into Guillermo’s profile and saw all the great reviews. I’m so happy that my original sitter cancelled because my dog had an amazing time with Guillermo. I would highly recommend this sitter! You won’t be disappointed. Very professional and communicative throughout my dog’s stay.”
“Cheryl was amazing and super communicative which was awesome for myself and my wife. She handled my dog amazingly and adjusted to his needs to help him feel as comfortable as possible. Our dog was considerably more relaxed after boarding here compared to a boarding clinic. Highly recommend her for anyone who needs to board their dogs.”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“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.”
“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.”
“Such a blessing to have come across Leo's profile. I couldn't be happier to have used his services. Our dogs trusted in him right away, and they enjoyed having his and his wife's undivided attention! Thank you so very much for your flexibility and constant updates. The pictures and videos were so appreciated. You truly put my mind and heart at ease. Racer and Rex know good people and will definitely be visiting again soon. From the bottom of my heart thank you for being so amazing and welcoming!”
“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!”

“Luisa was excellent ? she took great care of Bruno, and stayed in touch with pictures and videos. The most important was that I know Bruno was loved while we were gone and will definitely book her again. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”

“Thank you Tommie for taking phenomenal care of our cats! Coming home to a clean apartment, happy cats, and plants still in their pots was a great relief after a long trip. I wasn’t expecting her to, but she tidied up well after the cats and even introduced some small toys into the home for our rambunctious kitten! I’m so thankful for all your help, and the cats miss you already!”
“Allison did a great job! She was sweet, kind, and had no problem dealing with my outdoor cats. This was the first time I had to use someone other than friends or family to feed them & the experience went great.”

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. 🫶🏻🥹

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.

I am working full time as a nanny, I am available to help with any pet care you need! Message me to work out availability. My current housing situation is complicated to take care of your fur babies at my home. If your dog fur baby is cat friendly then it is a possibility, if not it would be stressful for both my fur babies and yours and that’s a situation I would like to avoid.
“Brittany did a terrific job of taking care of Metta, my long-haired ginger cat. Her per-session updates and photos provided total peace of mind while I was visiting a friend in another state. (I was already confident as a result of our meet-and-greet, so this was the icing on the cake.) It's harder to find good cat sitters than dog sitters. If you live in Las Cruces, NM, look no further than Brittany. You will be pleased that you did.”
About: Hi there! I’m Grace! I have taken care of cats my entire life. I grew up with a cat that had special needs and needed daily medication. I understand cats are not as always bubbly as dogs and have no issue with respecting their very special boundaries. I will treat yours just as I treat my own fur babies.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs besides my own for more than 10 yrs. I’m very active so I love walks as much as they do. I have a lot of free time and my schedule is very flexible. This is why Rover is a great opportunity for owners and I. My backyard is fenced but I enjoy their company at best inside with me. I enjoy when owners want their dogs to be inside with me.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Afton
“I couldn’t be happier with Sarah caring for my Bella. Sarah’s caring and calm personality gave me assurance immediately. I was concerned because my dog, though very small, can focus on one dog to attack. Sarah assured me Bella would be fine with her and her own two dogs and she was. Thank you Sarah!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Diana’s care of our 1-year old Golden Retriever, Rajah. She was attentive, caring, knowledgeable and very communicative, giving us updates often several times per day, along with photos. She kept him engaged and playing either with her doggie toys at her home or out in her fenced in yard. She also made trips to the local dog park where Rajah could play to his hearts content! I highly recommend Diana for her attentiveness and loving pet care.”

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.
About: I am a mature, passionate, and devoted, lifelong dog lover. I am a dedicated provider of nutrition, exercise, health care, and play, from puppy to senior.

It's never just a walk with me, it's an adventure! I guarantee complete satisfaction from wet noses to wagging tails. I work from home , I am available on most days I would love to have your best friends spend some time with me. I currently work from home so I will be with your pets all day other than running to pick up my 12-year-old from school, I take breaks to throw the ball and take them out for potty breaks and walks , plenty of room in my office space so they can lay next to me or be in the same room..They can rest or they just will know they are not alone. We have a very large yard that is fully grass so we could take them out to play. Fully fenced and safe. We have approximately a half an acre of fenced grass , lots of Space for them to run. We do keep our pets inside so if you have an inside pet they will be doing the same. They will be taken out for potty breaks .

“Sasha is reliable, and prompt. She shared photos to keep my mind at ease and took our Pippin for a much needed park visit! She cuddled with the furbabies and has amazing communication! Sasha is highly recommend for Dogs, and cats- Our elderly cat (on meds) was well cared for.”
“Jasmine cared for my two senior dogs for a few hours while I had work meetings in Las Cruces. She was quick to respond to my request for care and easy to contact and communicate with. She is kind and was fully tuned in to the dogs. Sent me photos shortly after I left showing the dogs settled in. The dogs were clearly comfortable and not stressed at all when I picked them up. I highly recommend Jasmine and would request her again!”

“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. ❤️

About: I have had pets my entire life-- from dogs and cats to lizards, hamsters, chickens, guinea pigs, and gerbils. I was always the little girl who was bringing home stray wildlife and begging my parents to keep it. I have been petsitting and housesitting for about 20 years. I am honest, trustworthy, and above all I care deeply about animals. I have experience with senior animals, babies, and everything in between. I am comfortable administering medication, matching your dogs energy, going on walks, cuddling on the couch, and just being a fun companion for your pet when you can't be. I also have experience with animals who have been in traumatic situations. I understand how to navigate the boundaries of a scared animal, and I am a gentle and quiet-natured person who most dogs and cats learn to trust pretty quickly. I do have a baby that I occasionally need to bring with me to jobs. He never spends the night and I keep him safely in a pop-up playpen if he’s not right with me. I have a very flexible daily and weekly routine. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and even staying overnight if desired. I am married so my spouse is able to care for my pets while I am caring for yours! My priority is making sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and getting the care it needs. I let you tell me about their schedule, your preferences on my time at your house, and your dogs quirks. I am very amenable to adapting my routine to fit your pet's lifestyle.
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 grew up around animals ( dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and pigs). My current husky I bottle feed him since he was 3 weeks old and he is 11 years old. He has several health issues and I have experience with oral medication, ear infections, and arthritis. I’m currently a stay home mom, so I have plenty of time to take your puppy for walks & runs. I am available weekends as well. I have a 6ft tall fence yard that will Keep your pets safe. I also have indoor kennels for those who would like to request them.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years now and had the opportunity to meet many breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve also owned both large and small dogs and currently have for fur family members at home. Being a pet owner myself and sometimes needing care for them I know how important it is to have someone that you trust and cares for them as much as you do watching them. I currently work remote from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows for me to help care for pets at almost anytime with advanced notice. When watching someone’s pet I like to take detailed notes on exactly what the pet needs and at what times. Every visit also always includes some play time and snuggles. I also have a dog that needs medication so I’m used to giving that.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the course of quite a few years. I truly enjoy doing so. I love getting to see their different personalities and giving them that extra love while their people are away. I had my own dog as well for a few years. Fun fact: we shared the same birthday too! He was really my best friend. At the current moment my availability is fairly open throughout the week and anytime. I am open to mostly any hours currently. Book with me! I will make sure they are taken on walks, given some extra love, feed them, and play with them. They will be well taken care of with me.

“Leo was an amazing dog sitter for Marley! He was incredibly communicative throughout the stay, regularly sending updates and photos that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Marley was calm, happy, and well cared for the entire time. When we returned, Marley was relaxed and content which says everything! We’re so grateful for the care Leo provided and would absolutely trust him again in the future.”
“I had a cancellation from another dog sitter and scrambled to find another one. I looked into Guillermo’s profile and saw all the great reviews. I’m so happy that my original sitter cancelled because my dog had an amazing time with Guillermo. I would highly recommend this sitter! You won’t be disappointed. Very professional and communicative throughout my dog’s stay.”
“Cheryl was amazing and super communicative which was awesome for myself and my wife. She handled my dog amazingly and adjusted to his needs to help him feel as comfortable as possible. Our dog was considerably more relaxed after boarding here compared to a boarding clinic. Highly recommend her for anyone who needs to board their dogs.”

“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.”
“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!”

“Luisa was excellent ? she took great care of Bruno, and stayed in touch with pictures and videos. The most important was that I know Bruno was loved while we were gone and will definitely book her again. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
