“Highly, highly recommend Rosalia. She provided great daily updates with multiple photos, and I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable in all of them. We also always have a sense of how things went when we pick him up, and that also made it clear that he'd enjoyed Rosalia's! Couldn't have been more perfect. She also has a very secure setup at her home, so, even though our dog has tried to make a run for it in the past due to his high prey drive, we didn't worry about that one bit when he was with Rosalia!”
“Josephine did a great job with Archie, I was truly impressed, she went above and beyond, her dog Paco is lovely and sweet, don’t hesitate to book!!”
“Cindy took great care of our dog The meet and greet was very helpful. When we returned to leave her, she was excited to go play with Cindy’s dog. Cindy sent us daily updates with photos that were so reassuring. We were a little late getting back to pick her up. Cindy was very accommodating. It’s great to know that she is in our area for future trips.”
“Courtnay was amazing with my Callie. She is usually afraid of strangers and can be aggressive, but she immediately took to Courtnay. I was so impressed with her confidence and knowledge of dogs! Would 100% recommend.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Maellen. They took amazing care of my dog while I was away and treated them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. Kumar came back relaxed and content, which says it all! Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—I would highly recommend Maellen to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Lifesavers! Had a last minute boarding need for my pup and they were available! My boy had a good time playing with the other dogs there and I can tell he was in good hands! Thank you both so much!!”
“Gavin was absolutely wonderful with Lucky! He kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, and it was clear Lucky felt completely at home with him. When we picked Lucky up, we could see how happy and comfortable he had been. Gavin isn’t just a great dog sitter—he’s also such a kind and caring person. We’re so grateful for the love and attention he gave Lucky while we were out of town, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”
“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.”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Bonni is Murphy’s home away from home. Bonni takes great care of Murphy. Murphy especially likes being around other dogs and is very comfortable and happy at Bonni’s. Murphy requires daily medication and Bonni can be trusted to give Murphy her medication and treat her as if she were he own.”
“We’ve used Rover in various locations and have consistently received excellent results. However, Anne exceeded our expectations in every way. We highly recommend her and would definitely leave our dog with her again.”
“Pat has been watching Beau during the daytime for some time now and recently we left him a 4 over nights for the first time. We had no worries leaving him with Pat and felt assured he would be well taken care of. Beau is always happy and excited to see Pat which makes us happy. Pat sent us several updates during his stay and anytime that I asked how beau was doing, Pat would quickly respond. In one of the photo updates we noticed Beau had an additional dog tag, which we came to find out was Pat's contact information. Small details like that confirm that Pat really cares for Beau.”
“Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!”
“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly! He even jumped in the car before it was time for us to head over there! Pretty safe to say that Buddy loves being with them, and that makes us happy!”
“Hossanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Azula. From the start, she was so accommodating and kind, and she even met with us for two walks before Azula’s stay, which made a huge difference in helping us feel comfortable. I have very detailed (and sometimes neurotic) instructions when it comes to my dog, and Hossanna never once made me feel bad about that. She was patient, understanding, and clearly cared about doing things right for Azula. She sent us many thoughtful photos throughout the stay, and it was obvious Azula was comfortable, happy, and safe in her care. If she would have us again, I would absolutely book with her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”
“Yixuan and her husband took amazing care of our dog, Monty. She sent daily pictures and great communication throughout. I could tell he got a lot of love and got to do cool activities like a hike. I would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely fabulous! Emily took on our cat so that we could attend our daughter’s wedding. Emily kept us posted about how our cat was doing and took care of everything. An absolute lifesaver! Thank you Emily :)”
“We are grateful we found Doug to care for our Ruby. He took her on daily walks and provided us with frequent updates and pictures. He even took her on a hike to the Sandias! It was as if she went on a vacation too! He was also very flexible with scheduling which we so appreciated. Thanks again!”

“I cannot be happier with the love and care Ola gave my babies! Not only is she kind, but she is also VERY detail-oriented and goes the extra mile - all for the love of fur babies! I highly recommend having Ola as a sitter.”
“Bridgit was awesome! She communicated with me every time there was an issue. She sent me photos every day which made me feel my babies were in good hands! I will definitely keep her in mind from now on when we have to leave for vacation. Thank you so much Bridgit you were the best!”
“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”
“August did a wonderful job caring for our girls again! They got lots of love while we were gone, which makes it easier to travel knowing they are in good hands.”
“This was the second time I was able to book with Tawnia, and she kept us so informed during our whole trip! She took several pictures and always left a detailed update, sometimes with a message to check in. She is very communicative and reliable. We would highly recommend her and we will plan to book with her again the next time we are out of town!”
“Alexis did a fantastic job taking care of our cats when we were camping. She gave them individual attention as well as feeding them and cleaning the litter box. She even ran a vacuum over our carpet so it was cleaner than when we left!”
“Marilee was great, super flexible as my travel and coverage plans fluctuated. Sent happy pictures which are always nice. Looking forward to using Marilee again!”
“Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well taken care of as well as helping my wife with some tech issues! Super communicative and sent pictures, would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again in the future!”
“Robert and Holly did a wonderful job pet sitting for our diabetic cat Hank. We really appreciated the updates and pictures they provided at every visit and their attentiveness to his care and administration of his insulin. We will definitely calling on them again next time we need a sitter for Hank or our pup Murphy. Thank you!”
“Eden was so great with our 3 kitties when we were out of town! Playing with them, giving them treats, lots of loving and tidying up whatever chaos they caused from the night before. Our cats told us how great she was as soon as we came home”

I have also been a source of care for neighbors, friends and Airbnb guests. I have a fenced yard with an additional dog run, grass, smooth pebble and even sand. Plenty of trees for shade and a covered patio. The dogs will have indoor/outdoor access and crates for eating and time out. I look forward to helping you and your fur babies. I currently work form home, occasionally leave the house for shopping and errands. I have plenty of time to give your babies plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs who love everybody and understand personal space. Meet n Greets are required at least 2 days prior to the booking. I also require a liability waiver prior to booking, including a promise that your dogs arrive free of fleas, ticks and parasites, kennel cough, pneumonia, or other communicable diseases.

“Becka is a rescued dog, so afraid of everybody. Not with Robert and Holly, she was smiling when I picked her up. I am so grateful of how nice they were with her. So, happy yo have them to help me with my beloved dog!”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
“Lauren was incredible. Flexible hours, safe yard, and a lot of love given to our fur baby. We're visiting the area and our dog having a safe and fun place to stay while we went to the amusement park meant us having a great time too. Thank you Lauren!!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Kimberly was easy to book a Meet and Greet and also my Doggy Day Care. Going back to the office more, I felt bad leaving Sadie home all day by herself, so I figured a play day every now and then help. But I was worried, because Sadie has lots of energy and just wants to play when she's with other dogs. Kimberly made me feel very comfortable letting Sadie stay with her. My Sadie must have played hard with her Ridgebacks because she was exhausted when I got her home. She only got up to eat and back to sleep. Haha. Just what I wanted. Kimberly even gave her a homemade doggie popsicle, which she seemed to love. I would definitely book again. Thanks Kimberly!”
“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!”
“Melissa was really easy to communicate with, checked in with me throughout the day with photos and info on how they were doing. Felt very safe with them in her care.”
“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!”
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.
“When I had Adam & Indy watch my dogs for the second time, my dogs and Indy were so happy to see eachother again like they missed eachother and one of my dogs even jumped on the couch to sit next to Adam to say hi. Clearly they were well taken care of and have new great friends! Definitely recommend Adam!!”
“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!”
“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”
“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
“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: Hello! I’m Marcella A and I’m currently going to cnm, majoring in veterinary medicine. My passion is to be a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. This volunteer work at my job shadow (on resume) has given me hands-on experience handling different animal breeds and understanding the deep emotional bond between pets and their owners. I observed a cat surgery, the importance of aftercare and recovery. I’ve studied a Certified Veterinary Technologies performing a venipuncture safely. Growing up I had a lot of animals ranging from snakes, gerbils, hamsters, birds to cats and dogs. In a sense it taught me a lot of responsibility at a young age. I’ve had years of experience understanding the right diet/nutrition, structured hygienic health, behavioral patterns/management and medication needed for fuzzy friends! Currently I have OPEN availability! No furry companion is too big or too small to provide dietary/nutritional feeding times, potty breaks, midday check-ins, local dog walks, structured hygiene, health tracking & emergency preparedness! I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care to beloved fuzzy friends from the moment they walk through the doors! I provide services to lovely pet owners to support in detailed instructions/expectations that I compile to! Includes but not limited to: fun playtime(indoor/outdoor) dietary, daily water intake, potty habits, long walks, & precise medication intakes!!
“Charles and Cadence are so kind and caring, I felt extremely safe and relieved to leave my 2 fur babies with them. They did everything to give the pups a great stay.”
About: I have a true passion for caring for pets and always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for each one. What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and respect for every pet’s unique personality and routine. Whether it’s a playful dog or an independent cat, they always receive love, personalized care, and genuine companionship—because to me, they’re not just pets, they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I carefully organize my time to ensure punctual feeding schedules, walks, cleaning, and quality time with each pet. I am committed to maintaining clear and consistent communication with pet owners and to following all care instructions closely. Responsibility and consistency are very important to me, and I always prioritize the well-being, safety, and peace of mind of the pets in my care. When I care for pets in my home or in their owner’s home, I carefully follow their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to maintain consistent schedules for feeding, walks, hygiene, and rest. I provide a clean, calm, and well-supervised environment at all times. I also pay close attention to their behavior and emotional needs, offering companionship, affection, and patience. I always respect the owners’ instructions and maintain clear communication so they feel at ease while they’re away.

“Alexus is very professional, communicative, and accommodating. She has done a great job of caring for my senior pup with anxiety. Cannot recommend enough!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker and sitter! Jenny did drop-in visits for our dogs while we were out of town, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. She is incredibly reliable and trustworthy, and it was clear from the start how much she genuinely cares about animals. She made sure our dogs were well fed, kept their water bowls full, and took them on twice-daily walks. Most importantly, she made sure they weren’t lonely. She even squeezed in extra visits in her busy schedule just to give them more company and attention, which meant so much to us. She is also fantastic with communication. She sent us updates and pictures multiple times a day while we were gone. Our dogs absolutely loved her and always looked forward to seeing her. They would wait excitedly for her visits! It was obvious they felt comfortable and happy in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for pups. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to caring for their pets.”
“My dog gets better at walking every time they take her out. She and I are both learning new tricks to keep her from pulling and being overly reactive. I'm so happy when I take her for a walk and she actually behaves!”
About: I've been petsitting since 2012, including dogs, cats, exotic birds, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I am experienced with special needs animals, elderlies, and those recovering from surgery. I've completed over 100 volunteer hours walking shelter dogs. I am comfortable working with some behavioral challenges. Completed training: 2026 Fear Free Shelters program “Play Groups, Meet-and-Greets, and Dog Fight Response Training.” 2025 “Advanced Dog Walker Training" “Calming Canines Training" 2024 “Safe Dog Walker Training" I started volunteering at vet clinics in 2006, and I've been volunteering at spay/neuter events since 2016. Some of my photos are from those. Please note that I am not representing any organization. I work from home and I make my own schedule. I wake up before 6 am so I am available early. Helping out with pets is my favorite thing to do! Outside the home or your fenced yard, dogs will be on-leash and distanced from other animals and people. I do not mix animals from different homes.
“Marilee did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Zori. She followed our care instructions perfectly and was extremely reliable and communicative. We loved that she took extra time to make Zori feel safe and comfortable by sitting with him, giving him treats, and playing with him in the yard. During every walk, Marilee sent a detailed update with pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would highly recommend Marilee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Tawnia is great! She’s so patient with my pups, esp since one likes to pull and the other has been defensive of our home. But Tawnia does so well with both pups and we love having her for walks!”
“Hossanna is fantastic, and I highly recommend her. I had a health emergency and reached out via Rover, hoping for a miracle, and she showed up just a couple of hours later. Was able to help me walk my highly energetic dog that day, and the next. Very grateful!”
“Our dogs were completely into Melissa the moment she arrived! She balances leadership and direction with kindness and joy. We are excited to welcome her into our pack!”
“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!”
“Gabriel was awesome! I request Gabriel walk my Winston when I was in a pinch. He took my guy on a walk and was very patient with waiting for him to potty (the whole reason for the walk). He kept in communication with me and asked for any tips that might help my pup. If the situation ever arises again I will be sure to schedule with Gabriel!”
“Adrienne is awesome! She genuinely cares for your dog as if it’s her own. I have been using her for the last month and will continue to do so! Thanks for everything:)”
“Greg had worked with my dog a year and a half ago, and it was a very good experience. Sadly, that dog passed away but now I have a new dog and I reached out to Greg to see if he could help me get Scooby some extra exercise. He jumped right back in and is helping me and Scooby get off to a good start from the shelter! Greg is great with dogs, and very respectful when it comes to scheduling and communication”

“Gavin was absolutely wonderful with Lucky! He kept us updated throughout the day with pictures, and it was clear Lucky felt completely at home with him.

We’re so grateful for the love and attention he gave Lucky while we were out of town, and we’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future.”
“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.”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through.

“Another successful stay with Cecilia and Dan! This time, when I was getting Buddy’s things together to go over there, I told him he was going to see them, and he got super-excited and ran to the door repeatedly!

“Emily is fantastic! She was understanding of our need for a sitter, totally reliable and knowledgeable about puppers needs. I will definitely use her again when I am in the area and have a need for a sitter!”
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!)
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our puppy. They provided excellent care, kept us updated, and made sure our puppy felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. It was clear that they genuinely cared and treated our puppy like one of their own. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and would absolutely trust them again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Benjamin was fantastic. The pups had a great time. He kept us updated was easy to work with. Highly recommend. He did a great job and James and June enjoyed their stay.”
“Sophie was so wonderful with our dog Bob. Bob seemed very happy and got lots of time with Sophie and her family, and Sophie even gave Bob a bath before pickup! Sophie was also super flexible with our pickup and drop off schedule. Would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Jessie is a very sweet person and did a great job with communicating daily with me. She even had her niece Jolyne help out due to a family emergency. All was communicated before my trip. I’m just so pleased that they were well cared for since my last sitter was terrible. Thanks Jessie and Jolyne! I will pass your names on to friends. ?”
“We left our dog Ben with Jamie and Patrick for a week and he enjoyed his time with their dogs and family. He came home healthy, happy, and tired! We highly recommend Jamie and Patrick for taking care of your pups when you need to get away!”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
“We love Rita so much, she is so kind and so great with our baby Butters. He loves her doggy daycare services and we just recently boarded him for the first time (his first night away) and she was so sweet to go above and beyond with him because he had an injured leg. I just can't imagine sending our pup anywhere else. Even in emergency situations- she was able to take him last minute. She is honestly the best and deserves all the five stars if not more :)”
About: Hello! I’m Marcella A and I’m currently going to cnm, majoring in veterinary medicine. My passion is to be a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. This volunteer work at my job shadow (on resume) has given me hands-on experience handling different animal breeds and understanding the deep emotional bond between pets and their owners. I observed a cat surgery, the importance of aftercare and recovery. I’ve studied a Certified Veterinary Technologies performing a venipuncture safely. Growing up I had a lot of animals ranging from snakes, gerbils, hamsters, birds to cats and dogs. In a sense it taught me a lot of responsibility at a young age. I’ve had years of experience understanding the right diet/nutrition, structured hygienic health, behavioral patterns/management and medication needed for fuzzy friends! Currently I have OPEN availability! No furry companion is too big or too small to provide dietary/nutritional feeding times, potty breaks, midday check-ins, local dog walks, structured hygiene, health tracking & emergency preparedness! I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care to beloved fuzzy friends from the moment they walk through the doors! I provide services to lovely pet owners to support in detailed instructions/expectations that I compile to! Includes but not limited to: fun playtime(indoor/outdoor) dietary, daily water intake, potty habits, long walks, & precise medication intakes!!
