“My Lucy probably thinks Sarah’s house is her part-time home, she’s been there a lot lately! We trust her implicitly and are so grateful for her. 🥰 Lucy always had a good time and we get lots of happy photos!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“2nd time with Isabel. Love her energy. She’s genuinely excited to care for your dog. She sent daily updates which is appreciated! Will use her again! Very dog safe environment in the home.”
“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.”
“Luke had a great experience!! He actually came home happy, unlike some past boarding experiences at kennels. The daily updates with pictures made me feel better while I was on my trip. Guillermo was awesome and the environment was perfect. Look forward to our next visit ?. Thanks!!”
“It was my first time leaving baby behind and like always I was having jitters. He was really good at making me feel more comfortable of the idea of me leaving her. He even invited me in, to see where my baby was going to stay and I could tell at first glance that it was a very dog friendly home. He kept me updated with pictures and info on how my dog was doing. I would 100% recommend him to everyone. I for sure will be a repeat customer.”
“100/10 Cheryl is the most sweetest and understanding person to care for a dog I've ever met🥺💕💕 I sadly wasn't able to take my fur bb's for Christmas for the first time this weekend. And she didn't hesitate to help me out! They had a wonderful time. She kept me updated and even bought my bbs Christmas gifts!!😭😭 she's absolutely amazing and knows what she's doing! Her sweet heart is like no other when it comes to caring for dogs. And I'll definitely be coming back with her!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She kindly stepped in last minute to watch my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She even offered to pick him up and drop him off, which was such a huge help. Throughout the stay she sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. My pup also got used to being around different animals thanks to her, and came back happy and well-socialized. Anna’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Terissa was a wonderful sitter for my pup! She’s attentive and responds quickly to messages. She check-ins daily with pictures and was prompt to resolve an issue with Rover that we encountered. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful, and it’s very clear how much love she has for the dogs entrusted in her care. Our normal pet sitter was out of town, and we were nervous to leave our dog, Teddy, with someone new. However, we did a meet and greet beforehand, and Natalie was so reassuring and put our worries at ease. She encouraged me to share any details about Teddy’s normal routine, and very receptive to any questions or concerns I had. During Teddy’s stay, Natalie was a great communicator. She sent many photos and videos and gave us updates everyday. She has a great backyard for the dogs, but also made sure the dogs didn’t get overheated in the summer heat which was a big concern of mine. Natalie also had so many new and fun nylon bones for the dogs which Teddy looooooved! Our Teddy also got along so well with her dog, Oreo. They were inseparable during her stay, and played so much together. Overall Teddy had a great time there! I would 100% recommend Natalie to anyone in need of boarding or doggy daycare, and I intend to use her services again in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“The only person I will leave my dog with regularly. Carla and her husband are both great, and Holly always comes back healthy and happy. They’re super easy to work with. Thanks, guys :)”

“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.”
“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.”
“Tommie was great! She stopped by a little early to make sure all the instructions were clear and was very communicative throughout! Will definitely contact her again in the future!”
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’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate. I am not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. I am currently looking for a job but not in a huge hurry. While waiting I will work at my dream job ☺️Dog sitting. I will provide for the needs and safety of your pets per client requirement with much love and kindness. Having a play time is also a must. 😊
“Bethany was great, very communicative and flexible! Both cats were well cared for. She gave medication to one cat and was very understanding when he was being uncooperative. Would definitely book again.”
About: Woof! Hi my name is Wyley I have a ton of experience working with dogs and caring for them. I started volunteering and working at kennels in my hometown at 14. I also worked as a groomer/supervisor at a doggy daycare in Tacoma. I can help you with anything animal related you need! I have experience with special needs dogs and administering medications. I worked with foster and rescue dogs so I’m also very familiar with dogs that have obedience and behavioral troubles as well. My goal is to be a professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful friend and care giver for you and your furry babies. :) I have a wide open schedule right now so I can adapt to most pets schedules. This is my main source of income right now so whenever your pet needs me I can be there. My number one priority is the health and safety or you pet while in my care. That includes their mental health as well so I try to make sure my care is identical to the care they receive from you so they stay in their routine and keep being happy and healthy. :)
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. 🫶🏻🥹
“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.”

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.

“Sarah was wonderful to work with! I’m from out of town and needed help to watch my dog while I attended a function. Sarah was so communicative. Her yard and home are a wonderfully homey set up and all the dogs she had there when we dropped ours off were happy and playful. Sarah’s son was a greater helper! I wish they lived closer to where we live so we could work with her more. She was a lifesaver! We will be sure to return when we visit again!”
“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: 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.

“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!”
“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.”

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.”
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’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate.

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.

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.

About: Since I was 12 years old I have been pet sitting dogs and cats. As I reached adulthood my very first adoption was my baby Brewster. He blessed me with 14 wonderful years and my fur family kept growing!! I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bearded dragon, a rabbit, a bird and my 15 year old has a horse. I have so much experience with all types of animals. In the past we have owned turtles, fish, a gecko and even a crawdad! :) Even though I do have a bachelors degree, I am blessed and lucky enough to be a stay at home mom where I currently take care of our house and our pets. Daily schedule is 100% flexible around other people while still maintaining the care that my animals require. In my own home I have two fenced yards. I also have a large home with two living rooms for plenty of play area. In a clients home I would allow the pet to go where the owner has stated. As well as out in the yard I would keep an ion them and do what service is required for each pet with love and care.
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 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: Have had many years of experience of active dog sitting and housesitting. Retired in 2020 from real estate sales in Taos, New Mexico. I am active & love dogs! I’m currently retired, I walk or hike with my dog every morning typically around sunrise. I would arrange my schedule to meet the needs of the client and pet. My availabilities are from 6 AM to 8 PM. I would prefer to care for your pet at your home. There are four dogs where I currently am living, and would prefer longer time frames to Introduce new animals to that mix.
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

“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“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.”
“Luke had a great experience!! He actually came home happy, unlike some past boarding experiences at kennels. The daily updates with pictures made me feel better while I was on my trip. Guillermo was awesome and the environment was perfect. Look forward to our next visit ?. Thanks!!”
“It was my first time leaving baby behind and like always I was having jitters. He was really good at making me feel more comfortable of the idea of me leaving her. He even invited me in, to see where my baby was going to stay and I could tell at first glance that it was a very dog friendly home. He kept me updated with pictures and info on how my dog was doing. I would 100% recommend him to everyone. I for sure will be a repeat customer.”
“100/10 Cheryl is the most sweetest and understanding person to care for a dog I've ever met🥺💕💕 I sadly wasn't able to take my fur bb's for Christmas for the first time this weekend. And she didn't hesitate to help me out! They had a wonderful time. She kept me updated and even bought my bbs Christmas gifts!!😭😭 she's absolutely amazing and knows what she's doing! Her sweet heart is like no other when it comes to caring for dogs. And I'll definitely be coming back with her!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She kindly stepped in last minute to watch my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She even offered to pick him up and drop him off, which was such a huge help. Throughout the stay she sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. My pup also got used to being around different animals thanks to her, and came back happy and well-socialized. Anna’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Terissa was a wonderful sitter for my pup! She’s attentive and responds quickly to messages. She check-ins daily with pictures and was prompt to resolve an issue with Rover that we encountered. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful, and it’s very clear how much love she has for the dogs entrusted in her care. Our normal pet sitter was out of town, and we were nervous to leave our dog, Teddy, with someone new. However, we did a meet and greet beforehand, and Natalie was so reassuring and put our worries at ease. She encouraged me to share any details about Teddy’s normal routine, and very receptive to any questions or concerns I had. During Teddy’s stay, Natalie was a great communicator. She sent many photos and videos and gave us updates everyday. She has a great backyard for the dogs, but also made sure the dogs didn’t get overheated in the summer heat which was a big concern of mine. Natalie also had so many new and fun nylon bones for the dogs which Teddy looooooved! Our Teddy also got along so well with her dog, Oreo. They were inseparable during her stay, and played so much together. Overall Teddy had a great time there! I would 100% recommend Natalie to anyone in need of boarding or doggy daycare, and I intend to use her services again in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“The only person I will leave my dog with regularly. Carla and her husband are both great, and Holly always comes back healthy and happy. They’re super easy to work with. Thanks, guys :)”
“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! ??”
“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.”
