“Pat fell in love with Ripley and he fell in love with her. He adapted well and Pat made sure he felt welcome. She even put together a Christmas stocking for him! All in all, a wonderful visit....I'd leave him with Pat again in a minute!”
“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.”
“Josie and her husband made our little man Yoshi feel like family. She offeted great communication and checked in with daily updates. He ate well, got daily walks, and tons of playtime and cuddles. Very dog friendly home with toys and beds galore and a large backyard to play in. Paco the resident dog is friendly and playful. I recommend Josie 100%.”
“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.”
“Jamie & Patrick were phenomenal! They were incredibly accommodating to my schedule—even with a slight change. If you’re in the ABQ area, I highly recommend them for your fur babies. I know that if I’m ever back and need pet sitting again, I will absolutely use their services. 🐾”
“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.”
“Josh was very positive in our dealings and made both our dog Oreo and ourselves extremely confortable. We are looking forward to more bookings with Josh in the future.”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
“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.”
“Cindy was very responsive and super kind. So glad she was able to open her home to Massimo for his stay. We definitely will use her support again when we need it.”
About: We've owned dogs and cats ourselves over the years but don't currently have our own fur babies. We've been travelling the country doing pet sitting and have LOVED it! We walk through the dog park across the street just to soak up some of that pure positive energy. We'd love to host your fur baby (ies) and give them tons of love and pets. I work from home and my husband is retired, so they will not lack for attention. We live in a spacious condo, so they need to give enough warning to be taken outside, but we're across the street from the dog park and only blocks from the Bosque, so plenty of places to play and walk here. I work from home and have plenty of breaks. My husband is retired. We have tons of time to shower your delightful creatures with love and attention. We walk every day, so easy to take a dog along. It's easy to fit pets into our routine, and it brings us much joy to have creatures to shower with affection. We live in a spacious condo in a secure building. We have plenty of space and light. Dogs would need to give us enough warning to take the elevator downstairs. We live right by a beautiful dog park, another city park, and the Bosque.
“Patricia does a great job caring for my two small dogs. One of my dogs recently had a tummy issue, and was still weaning back to kibble from a chicken & rice diet when they went to Patricia's. Patricia was willing to follow the schedule I provided, and mix my dog's kibble with chicken and rice to finish weaning her back to pure kibble. My dogs get along with Patricia's small dog, Sophie, and enjoy their surroundings during their stay (Patricia has a beautiful patio and spends time with them outside). They always come back happy and healthy. Patricia is a great sitter!”
“Benjamin was AMAZING! He took care of our 3 dogs (including a puppy) and they couldn’t seem happier in their photos! He was very communicative with us while we were out of town and we never went a day without hearing about what they were up to! We appreciated such great communication while traveling. This was our first big trip away from the puppy and he made her feel extremely comfortable! Would recommend using Ben’s services! We will be using him again in the future.”
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 10, and over the years, I've grown as a dog owner, continuously learning new skills and understanding the importance of training. I have a strong foundation in dog training, covering everything from basic commands like sit, stay, and come, to fun tricks like high five, spin, and kiss! I also firmly believe that dogs are family and should be treated with the same love and care. I'm a morning person, so I start the day with a quick walk for the dogs. I have a flexible full-time job, allowing me to check on them during lunch for a bathroom break, snack, and maybe another walk. After work, I spend the first hour decompressing and giving the dogs my full attention before continuing with my evening routine. I have a fenced front yard where the doggies can sunbathe and conduct quick bathroom breaks. I also have two friendly dogs, an Italian Greyhound Chihuahua and a Blue Heeler. To get comfortable with their guest my dogs insist on a friendly walk around a neighborhood. Once my dogs are comfortable with their guest, they will quickly become friends. My Chihuahua mix takes a little more effort to impress but he’s content to just watch his sister and their friend play.
“Akira had a great time with Doug! It was very comforting knowing we didn’t need to worry about her while we were away. He was very flexible with our schedule and sent us a picture every day.”
“My dog was super anxious and Crystal was so accommodating and helpful while I was away. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I’m incredibly grateful!”

“We always rely on Brigit when we are out of town. We were gone for three weeks recently and we felt so much better knowing that we had her taking care of them twice a day. She is always professional, communicative, and of course sends cute pictures at each visit. I highly recommend her!”
“Lauren was amazing. She came to my house beforehand to meet my cat, Levi, and to learn where his food, litterbox and supplies were stored. My cat took to her right away, and I felt very confident to leave him in her care. She was dependable and shared photos of him during every visit--usually in her lap or playing! I will definitely book her again when I'm out of town.”
“Skyler was very attentive to our senior cats needs. She went out of her way to make Seeker was comfortable with her, and she was very reliable about communicating with us daily.”
About: I’ve had cats for many years and currently have two of my own, so I understand how different each cat’s personality can be. Through both my veterinary background and pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for cats ranging from playful kittens to seniors, including shy, fearful, and medically complex cats. I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring litter box habits, recognizing changes in behavior or appetite, and following detailed routines. Whether a cat enjoys playing, cuddling, or simply wants a quiet presence, I adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable.
“Jennifer was fantastic with our two cats and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone for roughly 5 days. One of our cats has pretty bad anxiety but she made them feel companionship and peace. Jennifer was flexible and made the best of some occasional circumstances outside of her control too, definitely would strongly recommend!!”
“Jen is great! She sent us updates all throughout, including photos and videos of our cats. She helped ease our minds during our first night away from home, AND on a holiday. I highly recommend trustworthy and lovely Jen and will certainly reach out to her in the future.”
“Fiery is great with my cats. It is hard to find someone who is good with cats. I am so happy I found her. She keeps me informed with every visit so I don’t have to worry about my boys.”
“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.”
“Highly, highly recommend! Denise is a caring animal lover with heaps of experience from all her work at the animal humane. My rescue felt comfortable with her very quickly and was well cared for during the week+ that I was away. On top of that, my house was in great condition when I got back. Thanks, Denise, for the daily photos, clear communication, and for being so great at what you do!”
“Eden did a great job looking after my cat while I was out of town for an extended trip. Several photos were included of each drop-in visit, and she was quick to respond to messages.”
About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.
“Fantastic sitter, and very sweet! Went above and beyond to keep our kitties (including a senior kitty who needs special treatment) healthy and comfortable while we were away”
About: Mostly I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, including seniors, pups and kittens. I am sensitive to and will want to get them care if an emergency arises. I love to love them all. Presently I am flexible to meet pet parent needs. I do need 1 day notice for planning 🙂 and ensuring I am prepared for your pets. Presently I am able to provides services at your home only ( except for very young puppies and kittens who can stay with me if needed) -in your home I’m most familiar with cats and dogs. I am glad to keep your pets environment fresh during visits including waste clean up, hair brush or deshedding with your tools, refresh food, water bowls as needed. I will have non-toxic cleaners for hard surfaces if needed.
“Our pets had an excellent time with Lam, and we were very grateful to receive detailed updates on the daily! Thank you for taking such good care of them ❤️”

“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Oh how grateful we are to Jody's excellent and sensitive care and support! Our pup had started to have so much anxiety and we were feeling desperate about what to do! Jody is sweet, attentive and caring. You know you've found the right person when your dog runs up to greet her and is so happy to be with her. Jody is the one!”
“Always amazing! Punnarai is caring and attentive. My pup is excited to be dropped off and (sadly for me) tentative to leave the fun environment she creates for him while he’s there. Definitely recommend.”
“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”
“Bonni was good with our little Havanese dog. I liked the yard area including some grass. Bonni was accommodating to our schedule of daytime/evening schedules. We took our dog with us at night. Thanks Bonni!”
“Jamie was very friendly and communicated with me during the stay. She has young kids in the home for playtime with my small dog along with a friendly poodle of her own.”
“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 :)”
“Melinda was so kind and such an incredible caretaker for our dog while we were in Albuquerque for a day. She was such a quick responder to all messages, was so sweet, and truly exemplified what it meant to be a “dog lover.” She made sure all accommodations were met for our little Luna and made us feel at ease while we got our car fixed. Would definitely recommend Melinda to anyone looking for a sitter for the day or overnight!”
“Jason is great! My pups love going to his house for daycare. They are older and its always hard to find a place where they are comfortable like they are at home, but they are always excited whenever I drop them off!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Tracy puppy sat my baby girl! She made the day stress free. She sent updates through out the day and my pup came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend.”
About: Welcome to personalized care for your beloved furry friends! As a dedicated dog sitter (or cats,bunny,guinea pigs, birds, you name it!) I offer more than just sitting; I provide a tail-wagging experience filled with love, attention, and playful adventures. With a keen eye for each pup's needs and a passion for creating a safe and joyful environment. I'll ensure your dog feels right at home when you can't be there. Let's make their time away from home an unforgettable tail-wagging adventure! Jumping into experience and home life: I have taken care of pets, dogs specifically, since I was 9 years old. I am currently a stay at home mommy to my son (3 years old) and to our 3 bundles of joy. I love animals so much. They are more than just a pet or an animal, they are family. I will take care of yours with soft and gentle arms, as if they were my own. I do not professionally train, although both of my dogs are very good at what I have taught, (tricks and such). I also have no problems administering medications. I want to provide you a stress free getaway while know your babies are safe and sound. I will always send daily photos and/or videos of how your babies are adjusting to their stay. Our household is me, my fiance, our son and our three dogs. All of which will care for your babies just as much. I love that Rover allows us to provide personable stays to allow 1x1 tailored time with your pet that eases a lot of stress for everyone. I own an at home dog grooming kit which includes a dog vacuum that combs them while taking out the excess fur. Let me know if you need any deshedding services! My availability is totally available everyday! I work from home so I’m here on call for sure! If you are in need of drop-in visits, my fiance does come along for meet and greets and occasional visits as well. In both my home and my client's homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for pets. This includes maintaining a consistent feeding and exercise schedule tailored to each pets needs. I ensure plenty of playtime and mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. Additionally, I maintain cleanliness by regularly cleaning feeding areas, litter boxes, and any pet messes promptly. Above all, I provide affectionate companionship and attentive care to make sure pets feel secure and loved while their owners are away.
“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”
About: I have lived with at least 2 dogs in my household for the past 20 years. Providing them with the opportunities to live fulfilling and healthy lives has been my priority. Although I am their caregiver, I consider them also to be my teachers. Learning how to communicate with them is the best way to ensure they are happy and calm, and that they feel safe. I am currently retired and spend quite a bit of time at the dog park. My dog and I are mostly inseparable. I take him with me to run errands when I can. It isn't always practical and so he minds the house when I am away. Barney is my only companion, and, even though I'm kind of a loner, Barney is NOT. He is extremely friendly and social and craves the company of other dog;, that factors into my decision to care for other dogs in my home. Barney will help me keep your dog comfortable and happy while in our care. We have a fenced back yard (4 foot). The surrounding properties have no dogs at this time. If your dog can jump a 4 foot fence, this may not be the safest home for him or her.

“We loved Greg and miss him. He ALWAYS took great care of Athena and was available if our schedules changed. If we’re ever in Albuquerque again we’ll contact him again”
About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)
“Thank you for the quick response. Sombra is awesome and usually have a friend pick her up on unexpected longer days but they weren't available. Lauren was able to step in on a moments notice. 🐾 of thanks!”
About: I grew up around dogs ages 1-13 and have spent 3 years taking care of other dogs. I'm experienced in providing medication, cleaning up after them, and preparing food. I'm always ready to hear what your dog needs! I am a current student at UNM, and I have a part-time job. I am always home in the evenings, and have time to come home and make sure your animal is well fed, and all needs are met! I also have enough time to pklay with your pet and make them feel loved. I have a fenced-in yard and live right next to a park that we can walk to and play at so they get all their energy out. I will also make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and do everything in my power to make sure they are having the same relaxing vacation as you! I love going on walks and playing with animals, so no matter where we are, they will have a great time!
“Leah is fantastic with Dobby. Our first meet and greet last month went very well with my normally reactive dog. But once Dobby sensed Leah’s energy - kind and safe - he had trust in her. He is excited when he see’s Leah and they have really good walks where his tongue is hanging out. We are grateful to have Leah help out with walking Dobby each week!”
“Marcus is truly an exceptional dog walker and person! He took great care of our dog and was especially observant and careful on hot days—he came very early in the morning and always took care to make sure she was ok. He left great, detailed reviews and was always happy to help with any concerns—he truly goes above and beyond! Our dog loves him and we look forward to working with Marcus whenever possible!”

“Joanne has been walking my dog Lilly for a few months now, and has also done a couple of overnight stays with her. Lilly is an anxious dog who takes a lot of patience, and Joanne has done a great job! She’s always on time and very reliable, I would highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—my dad, my grandparents, everyone in my family had them—so caring for pups is second nature to me. I have a great pyrenees of my own who brings endless joy to my days and loves making new friends. At my home, your dog will have plenty of fun and comfort. I offer a doggie pool for summer splashes, a ball launcher for endless fetch, and a variety of toys to keep tails wagging. If your pup needs a kennel when left alone, I have two here so you won’t need to bring your own. My home comfortably accommodates up to four dogs at a time, so your furry friend will have plenty of company without feeling crowded. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a safe space to relax, I treat every dog like my own—because to me, they are family. I currently work 8-5 and take the dogs out during my lunch! I have a big backyard and one friendly house dog that are always looking for new friends ☺️ There’s also a doggy pool outside for them to cool down in the summer. The pets are allowed free range of the house (as long as they are house broken) and the backyard. I feed my dog twice a day and give them dental sticks once daily, but will follow the feeding/grooming/walking routines your dog is used to.
“Eden is exceptionally reliable, communicative, and kind towards our boys!!! There has been a noticeable difference in our pup’s demeanor (he’s happier, more playful) but also in the way he handles on leash! I couldn’t be happier with Eden and I hope to be able to be her client for a very long time!”

About: I’ve always had a variety of pets in my house. Growing up my family cared for dogs, turtles, fish, hamsters, frogs, hermit crabs, and chickens. We never owned a cat because my mom is allergic to them but since I moved in with my auntie during university, I have lived with one and have loved it! With my grandma, we currently have 6 dogs! We had two (a chihuahua mixed with poodle and another mixed dog) who are the parents of the other four. I was the only one in my house present when my doggy gave birth to all her babies and I was more than excited to be there with her :) I’m a full-time university student at NMSU. I made this account because I plan to be available everyday during my breaks. This might change for a couple of days but I’m not sure yet. Since I will be on break I also plan to be available nights and weekends. My dogs are family dogs and live outside. I don’t have a house of my own but live with my grandma and mom along with my three siblings and one cousin. The dogs are cared for amongst all family members.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with both. I currently have four cats of my own and volunteer at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where I help make sure every homeless kitty gets the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting and walking for friends and neighbors since middle school, I’ve worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. There, I was responsible for supervising group play, feeding dogs with specific dietary needs, administering medications (including pills and liquids), bathing dogs, and keeping their environment clean, safe, and fun. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, a nice walk, or making sure your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family! My schedule is flexible, but I do have classes from 11–12 and 1–2 on weekdays. I’m typically available in the mornings, afternoons after 2, and evenings for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m usually off on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which means I often have more availability those days. However, I do occasionally work, so my schedule may vary slightly. Feel free to reach out and I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own space. I follow feeding routines, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give them all the attention they need. For dogs, I love going on walks and spending time outdoors. For cats, I offer lots of affection (when they want it!) and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. Whether it’s staying overnight or stopping by for a check-in, I always treat every pet like my own.
“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”
About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.
“We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.”

“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.”
“Jamie & Patrick were phenomenal! They were incredibly accommodating to my schedule—even with a slight change. If you’re in the ABQ area, I highly recommend them for your fur babies. I know that if I’m ever back and need pet sitting again, I will absolutely use their services. 🐾”
“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.”
“Josh was very positive in our dealings and made both our dog Oreo and ourselves extremely confortable. We are looking forward to more bookings with Josh in the future.”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
“Cindy was very responsive and super kind. So glad she was able to open her home to Massimo for his stay. We definitely will use her support again when we need it.”
About: We've owned dogs and cats ourselves over the years but don't currently have our own fur babies. We've been travelling the country doing pet sitting and have LOVED it! We walk through the dog park across the street just to soak up some of that pure positive energy. We'd love to host your fur baby (ies) and give them tons of love and pets. I work from home and my husband is retired, so they will not lack for attention. We live in a spacious condo, so they need to give enough warning to be taken outside, but we're across the street from the dog park and only blocks from the Bosque, so plenty of places to play and walk here. I work from home and have plenty of breaks. My husband is retired. We have tons of time to shower your delightful creatures with love and attention. We walk every day, so easy to take a dog along. It's easy to fit pets into our routine, and it brings us much joy to have creatures to shower with affection. We live in a spacious condo in a secure building. We have plenty of space and light. Dogs would need to give us enough warning to take the elevator downstairs. We live right by a beautiful dog park, another city park, and the Bosque.
“Benjamin was AMAZING! He took care of our 3 dogs (including a puppy) and they couldn’t seem happier in their photos! He was very communicative with us while we were out of town and we never went a day without hearing about what they were up to! We appreciated such great communication while traveling. This was our first big trip away from the puppy and he made her feel extremely comfortable! Would recommend using Ben’s services! We will be using him again in the future.”
“Akira had a great time with Doug! It was very comforting knowing we didn’t need to worry about her while we were away. He was very flexible with our schedule and sent us a picture every day.”
“My dog was super anxious and Crystal was so accommodating and helpful while I was away. She went above and beyond to take care of my dog and I’m incredibly grateful!”
“Kristle was amazing with our dogs! She and her family took such great care of them and kept us updated throughout their stay. Her big backyard is perfect for my energetic dog, and she provided ample couch cuddles for my lower energy dog. I feel so comfortable with Kristle and will definitely be requesting her care for our pups in the future!”
“Celine is absolutely incredible and I'm so glad I found her. Azuki loved her from the first moment they met. While we were away, Celine checked in with a picture each day and I could tell my pup was happy and content. My pup is on a pretty high maintenance diet and Celine managed it without difficulty. When I picked up Azuki, she was happy and energetic and that has continued since we have been home. I will definitely have Celine sit for Azuki again! Thank you for the love you showed my pup, Celine.”
“Thomas and Matt were available when I needed someone to take care of my dog for the weekend, she was happy to see them and they did a good job, my nervous dog was treated love and care while adjusting to their nice home and I felt comfortable while I was away that she would be in good hands”
“Took great care of my dog, daily photos and updates, I know he had a lot of fun. Will definitely leave Rocco with Holly and Robert in the future.”
“Jamie did an excellent job dog-sitting! She was very communicative, kind, and responsible. She took excellent care of our dog and we would use her again and recommend her highly.”
About: I have been pet sitting regularly for about three years however, I live on a Ranch and have experience in animals of all sorts. I have so many barn cats and four personal house cats. I can handle from your smallest hamsters to your largest breeds. I’m your girl I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I regularly pet sit a boxer and bearded dragon monthly on top of my animals that I already have. I am able to drop in or stay the night as needed. I have a large fenced in yard where my great Pyrenees is able to roam freely. My cats have a large cat tree crates throughout the house that they can lay in if they choose. they also roam around the house they do not go outside. All of my animals have lots of enrichment.
“Savannah was great with my Charli. Daily photos were sent to update me. My pooch is still a puppy and Savannah was patient, understanding and even taught Charli how to go up stairs. ?”
