“My puppy had a great time at Debbie's! She sent me pictures every day which helped me deal with our separation. She's obviously a very caring sitter and I will definitely use her next time I need a sitter.”
“Our dogs had the best time with Rita and Yoshi! Our dogs immediately cuddled up to Rita and felt safe with her, and her dog Yoshi is the absolute sweetest baby. Would absolutely recommend Rita!”
“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”
“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”

“Onrae was great. We left Ansel with him for just over a week and it really let us relax knowing he was in good hands. He sent several updates and pictures and was always quick to respond to messages and questions. He did a great job in trying to keep a good routine for the dog, and it seemed like Ansel loved playing with the kids and having a new environment to explore! Will definitely be looking to call him again in the future for our pet care needs!”
“Bonnie is amazing! Charlie loves her and is excited to go stay with her. She takes care with all the dogs she watches and she is also quick to respond to me. I'd recommend to anyone. Our dog is in good hands with her.”
“This is the second time we leave Tessa with Wendy and it was also a great experience. Wendy is very communicative and sends lots of pics of Tessa enjoying with her and her kids. She also takes Tessa to dog parks and on walks so she can get her exercise. We recommend her :)”

“Michael was very attentive to my pup Zoro. Zoro stayed with him for a week and had a great time. He walked him every day and made sure he had everything he needed throughout the day and then some. Michael made sure to send photo updates and kept him entertained with movie nights, fun toys, treats and lots of exercise.”
“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“Anne did an amazing job in caring for my boys! I am grateful that I could go away and know my pups were in good hands. She kept me informed every day with messages and lots of pictures. Initially I was worried about finding a sitter because my one gets anxiety when away from me and the other one has tons of energy. Anne is very compassionate and has so much patience therefore I didn't have to worry.”

“Emily treated my cat Michelle well, cleaned the litter box, fed and watered her, and spent time playing with her. She followed my instructions well and I came home to a happy cat.”

Would definitely book with August again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since 5 years old. Grooming, walking, cleaning up after them and loving them. I have added birds, ferrets, and turtles to my pets in my adulthood. I foster neonatal kittens. I have trained many dogs and have shown them in obedience. I have had elderly dogs and cats and have helped them through their needs in old age. I love to throw the ball for your dog, play with cats or just sit and pet them, make sure they have their food on time and always have water. I can walk you dog around the block or for 5 miles. I am very experienced in reactive dogs and walking them. I have had large and small dogs. My last two dogs were Dobermans. I will be reliable and follow your instructions. I am a retired Occupational Therapist and have recently lost my sweet friend and companion, my dog Scarlet. I have time now to help others out who need someone to provide love and care to their pet. I am looking to care for your pet in your home. I may, be able to take a cat or dog into my home sometimes, but I have chickens in my backyard so it is not available. At your home I can stay overnight if necessary or just come and care for your pet in the comfort they are used to. I am reliable and trustworthy and will give all the love and care your pet needs and wants.
“Heaven took excellent care of my cats. She sent entertaining and informative messages each day along with happy cat photos. My cats seemed disappointed that their vacation ended upon my return. I will definitely be asking for Heaven’s services again in the future.”
“Jessica was a fantastic sitter. She was gracious with me on the pre-sitting process such as meet and greet and then communicating on meeting for the keys. She shared her photos with us on the cats on each visits (close ups as I have cameras which see from far). She communicate with me on any issues with the cats (none so far) and her visits which were remedied quickly. I would like to rebook her again in the near future.”
“Rose is the best! My super shy kitty who normally hides the entire time I’m gone is comfortable enough around Rose that she not only comes out of hiding but plays! cat owners of shy kitties will know how big of a deal this is 😍”
“Rita was amazing! I have a diabetic cat, and this was the first time I left her with a sitter. Rita completely put my mind at ease. She sent me twice daily updates and pictures. She was knowledgeable about giving my cat her insulin injections, and she took perfect care of my cat while I was gone. I 100% recommend Rita, and I look forward to booking with her again.”
“This is my first experience with Rover and my first experience leaving my cats to someone else’s car here in New Mexico. I am very pleased and happy with Tabitha. My cats took to her when she came for her meet and greet with them. One cat is anxiety-ridden and the other really doesn’t like new people. So this was a pleasant surprise. I and my cats felt very comfortable setting up a schedule for Tabitha to come visit with them. They were very well taken care of. I would HIGHLY recommend Tabitha to anyone who especially has cats.”
“Misty is vigilant in making sure my cat Midnight has everything he needs. He looks forward to his visits and we greatly appreciate her help. Thanks for being so great with our little guy Midnight!”
“Leah worked with us on a last minute request to drop in on our cat during thanksgiving week. She went above and beyond to make sure Tofu was well taken care of. I would recommend her services any day. Thank you!!”

“FANTASTIC!!! If you're looking for a professional, friendly, educated alpha, you need to book through Esperita! She is very quick and responsive to messages. She picks my pup up for me, and sends me a picture msg of my dog, letting me know they made it to her place! She also sends updates with pictures! (LOVE IT!!!) I could tell my hyper GSD had a blast at her place because she's always so tired afterwards! Thanks again Rita for being sooo awesome and caring <3”

“Cindy was great with my 2 year old baby. I sent Sandia for my 12 hour shifts and Cindy was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I got lots of picture updates. Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”
“Peter took great care of my high energy black lab Birdie. Birdie and Peter's dog Mia hit it off right from the get go. Would not hesitate to leave Birdie with Peter anytime. Planning her next visit now.”
About: I’ve dog sat for most of my life, I have a love for all dogs and deeply believe dogs are family and should be treated and cared for as such I currently work full time on the weekends so I am usually off on weekdays and would love some company cuddling on the couch or on walks. My partner usually has off on the weekends so someone will always be home to care for your loved one(s). We use this account together. I have a fenced yard and almost a half acre to run around. I have two beagles and a little yorkie that will keep your pup company.

“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”
“Michael was great with my dog Peanut, he was very professional; he walked my dog twice and sent timely pictures and behavior reports. I used his services twice in 2 days and my dog Peanut really likes him and I intend to use his services in the future.”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”

About: I mostly have experience with medium to larger dogs. I love going on walks so I will take pets along for the journey. I grew up with bulldogs and I’ve personally owned German Shepards and Huskies. I am currently in between jobs and preparing for a certification test for signed language interpreting. I have plenty of free time for pets and love to get out and about like going for walks, hikes and enjoying the sun. I have a private small patio with many dogs parks in my apartment complex. Also close to my apartment is a golf course that is a clear and safe walk for fur babies. I can crate your dog if needed (: they are allowed on furniture to make them feel like home!
“Melissa and her sweet family took such great care of my high energy dog. Not only did she send a ton of adorable pictures of the pack exercising & snuggling, but from the moment she greeted my dog, I could tell she was in good hands. I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”
“Cecilia and family were very kind and understanding of Buffalo’s insecurity being left behind. Her dogs were very kind with my dog and had no issues. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures that reassured me that Buffalo was comfortable and safe.”
“Thank you so much, highly recommended. I felt safe and secure leaving my little baby with them today, and I’ll definitely keep them in mind in the future.”
About: Me and my husband got our rescue dog in 2021. We were able to make him adapt our lifestyle and trust us and helped him with anxiety issues from separations and some random environmental triggers. Our dog is sweet and gentle, we were able to train him for 10+ tricks and be gentle to small and or young creatures. I also volunteer at Animal humane NM to help dogs getting comfortable with human interactions and building confidence I work hybrid so not every week days are wfh at the moment. We walk our dog twice a day and we have a big dog park and field that might fit for different dog needs. We have a back yard so dogs can play there as well Our house is on a quiet street with back yard fenced. Super nice area with big dog park and fields. I LOVE ALL DOGS, and all of them will get more than enough attention from me
