“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”
“Marlena was awesome with our dog. Sent pictures and videos while we were gone for 11 days. Chester seemed very happy. Would highly recommend Marlena!”
“She took a new dog with alot of unknowns on a very short notice for me and wife. She did an amazing job and my dog left happy both days and was excited to go back the second day. Im definitely going to use her again in the future.”
“My fur baby absolutely loved her time with Hannah! She cared for her as I would. I would 100% recommend Hannah and her pet sitting services! Thank you Hannah was taking such phenomenal care of my baby!”
“I absolute loved her! She made me feel so comfortable with my two small babies. She gave me constant updates and pictures of them everyday. I appreciate her making it easy for me to leave my babies for a whole week! Thanks again”
“Pat was wonderful to Smokey and a great help to us. She was very knowledgeable and had great advice for our senior dog. I definitely recommend her!”
“Rebecca was excellent, we left our girls with her for a couple of days. She took very detailed notes and information on our girls eating habits, personalities, and emergency contacts. Rebecca sent us several pictures throughout the day and kept us very informed on their eating and all of their activities. We will definitely rebook with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to sit your dogs.”
About: I’ve been the primary provider for my cats for a decade since my family adopted them. On occasion, family friends would ask for help with their pets. I’m working part-time with plenty of free time to fill. I can typically pick up last minute bookings, but I’d prefer sooner notice. I’d consider myself very understanding of cats and their needs. I love mine like my own babies (because they absolutely are!) and I’d be so excited to treat yours with the same love, care, and respect.
“Excellent dog sitter. Excellent communication. I got a pawgress report from the sitter to let me know our dog was doing well, which I appreciated very much. Will use this sitter again without hesitation”
“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.”

“Desirea was exactly what we were looking for — someone to come check on our cat, give her some love, attention, and play time, and feed her in the morning. She even was willing to come over and meet me and my cat ahead of time to get to know us. She sent us pictures and was very easy to communicate with the whole time. We’ll definitely reach back out to her the next time we’re headed out of town!”
“Christina was great! She kept us updated throughout our pups stay. Bree had a great time with her other boarder pup. Christina was very professional and we ( and Bree) liked her so much we are interested in setting up regular doggy daycare days!”
“Patricia is wonderful with our cat. I hate to think that she loves Patricia more than me but maybe she does. Patricia gives her everything and all of her attention and all of her love. Five plus stars.”
About: I treat every cat as an individual and never force attention on a cat who needs time and space to feel comfortable. I’m also thorough about the less glamorous parts of cat care—I keep litter boxes clean, refresh food and water, tidy the surrounding area, and make sure you return to a clean, comfortable home. Most importantly, I provide the patient, attentive care I would want for my own cat.
“Mariah was great! She took excellent care of Skittles and I could tell she really cares for animals. Everything was in place and I had a happy cat when I returned home. I would use Mariah again.”
About: I've worked at a shelter for over two years and have done an internship for animal control. While there I occasionally worked in the cat room. I've syringe fed kittens, and have been around multiple cats at once. I have handled injured, ill, and anti social cats.
“Rachel, Thank you so much for the excellent care you’ve given Tufay, the garden, flower pots and Mr. Toad. You are an excellent care giver. You have our highest recommendation. Best regards, Stephanie & Vern”
“Miquela took great care of our feline during our 8 day absence. She is a great communicator and provided us pictures of our cat adapting to her surroundings. We would definitely recommend placing your cat in the care of Miquela. If we need a cat sitter in the future, we will definitely return to her. Thanks Miquela!”
About: I bring several months of experience working in an animal hospital, where I cared for both cats and dogs, with a special affection for our feline friends. My responsibilities included cleaning, feeding, playing, and administering medications to our cat patients. Since then, I have provided dedicated care for elderly cats with special needs in my neighborhood, as well as for my own beloved cat, Beans. I am eager to deepen my experience with cats, as I've always felt a unique bond with them. With my attentive care, your cat will remain safe, happy, and healthy.
About: I've always loved cats and always had a specific rapport with them. We connect and they often easily approach me without reserve. Im fascinated by their ways, catering to the royalty they are. I am here to serve and understand the misunderstood.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Bernalillo
About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.
About: Hi there! My name is Nicole. I work from home full-time doing finance in health insurance and have a very active lifestyle. Although new to Rover, I’ve grown up pet/house sitting for friends. I have two dogs of my own that keep me on my feet - always itching for adventure. My house isn’t too far from a dog park, but I much rather enjoy quiet walks on the bike path in the neighborhood or walks along the Bosque. Your pets’ safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for them. Knowing the queues and body language of each pet helps give an understanding of how they’re feeling and what they’re comfortable with.
About: As a life long pet owner, I have had great report with animals of all sizes. I have trained and enjoyed a kennel free environment. All my dogs have had happy lives and great disposition with kids and other animals. I will provide a safe and loving home for your dog where they will receive a ton of love and petting. I love that my dog will follow me around and look for any moment to get petting and affection; even will force my bathroom door open, knowing I am a captive audience. I look forward to doing the same for your pooch. I have walked dogs both short and long distances. Thank you for your consideration and look forward to meeting your family member (dog).
“Brandi is so wonderful and patient. We were visiting in the area and I wanted to take my son to the Rodeo for the 1st time. So we neededa sitter for our Beagle, Bailey last minute. Brandi responded very quickly and kept us updated throughout the day. Thank you Brandi for taking care of Bailey so we could make some amazing memories.”

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.
About: I have had dogs since I was very young. They are always by my side in life. I treat them more like family than a pet. I have a fenced half acre, with a small area fenced off for smaller dogs to enjoy. Outdoor area is landscaped with turf, for pet comfort. Dogs are welcome to get cozy on any indoor furniture. I am also experienced in giving medications or shots if needed. Dog walking is also available for those pets with extra energy. We can also send videos or photos to those who want to see their pets while they are away. I will love you doggy like he or she is my own. My job is to care for my animals. I will dedicate all my time to making sure we are all having the best time and making sure their stay is comfortable. Your pets schedule will become my schedule as I only take one family's pets at a time. My yard is safely fenced off and lots of room to run and play. If dogs like to fetch a ball or dig there is lots of space that is covered with turf and there are shaded and sunny areas for them to pick from, if they like to be outside.
About: I’ve spent a lifetime learning how to understand their individual needs, routines, and quirks. I provide patient, attentive, and loving care while treating every pet as an individual—not just another booking. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my priority. I am fortunate enough to work for myself from home. Caring for pets gives me joy and adds a some fun to my days. I will never accept a booking when I am unable to give your family members special attention and love. I have a large fenced yard for your fur baby(ies) to explore. My work is mobile and flexible so I can make arrangements as needed in every circumstance. We will walk each day (provided that works for your pet).
“Mabel was very happy to be left with Onrae for a few hours, which isn't always the case with sitters. But dogs are a good judge of character, right? All went well and Onrae was an excellent communicator. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
“Once again Celio did a great job watching one of my dogs. I just adopted Paco, who had surgery and I needed help with him after surgery due to work demands. Celio took such good care of him - gave him his meds, made sure his stitches looked ok, and really just treated him like his own dog AND sent me many pictures. Celio is awesome!”
“Kevin has been a great dog sitter—he’s laid back and flexible, and my pup is always excited to go to his home and play with his sweet hound, Barney. Kevin’s place has a backyard equipped with a doggie door, so the dogs can come in and out as they please. I’ve booked Kevin’s services several times now, and will continue to do so!”
“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.”
About: I’m a responsible, caring, and attentive pet sitter who understands that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat pets like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while you’re away. I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods during the day. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision while still keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. What sets me apart is that I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making pets feel comfortable and safe. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, medication, and daily-care instructions, and my goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods of time, and I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and keep them comfortable while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can feel right at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, and I’ll follow any special instructions you provide. I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
About: I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and individualized care throughout the day. As a longtime dog owner, I know every pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make sure they feel safe and at home. I have a large, secure yard with plenty of room for supervised play, exploring, or simply finding a sunny spot to relax. I’m also happy to provide walks, playtime, socialization, basic training reinforcement, and light grooming based on your dog’s needs and routine. I’m active by nature, but I’m just as comfortable slowing things down for dogs who prefer a quieter pace. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard adventures, couch time, or a combination of all three, I’ll tailor their stay around what makes them happiest. I work remotely, so when I’m not traveling for work, I’m home and available throughout the day to provide consistent, personalized care. My schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and one-on-one attention. I’m very active and happy to keep up with dogs who enjoy walks and play, but I’m equally content spending time with pups who prefer a slower pace, backyard lounging, or snuggles on the couch. I can easily adapt my routine to match your dog’s normal schedule so their time away from home feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have a secure yard with a separate fenced dog run, giving pups a safe space for outdoor time, play, and fresh air. Inside, my home is relaxed and pet-friendly and dogs are welcome on the couch and furniture and are treated like part of the household. I also have two small rescue dogs of my own. I understand that not every dog wants or needs to socialize, so I can keep pets comfortably separated when needed or allow supervised introductions and playtime for dogs who enjoy making new friends. I’m happy to provide a comfortable crate or create a separate, personalized space based on your dog’s routine and preferences. I always recommend bringing a favorite bed, blanket, or other familiar item from home to help your pup settle in and feel secure while you’re away. My goal is to follow your dog’s normal routines as closely as possible and provide an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“This was my first opportunity to use Rover and I had a great experience and so did my Luna. I could really tell Bonni loved pets and took great care to ensure my Luna had a great experience. Thank you so much!”
About: Animal Lover with a passion for outdoor adventures with over 15 years of experience taking care of animals of all backgrounds and abilities.

“Melissa took amazing care of my dog, Zoe. From the start, she was attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. Zoe immediately liked Melissa and she made sure Zoe was comfortable and well-loved the entire time. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

“Cassandra your a rock star don't know how chase and I made it without you. So glad you came into our lives. All I have to tell him is walker coming and he runs to get his leash ♡♡♡”
About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles and fish. (I am a fast learner and would love to care for animals outside of these as well!) I also have experience giving medication to pets. I do currently work part time (4 hour shifts) But will update my availability as often as possible! I work about 2-3 days a week. I will follow your instructions on how you care for your pet exactly. My goal is that your animals will feel the least amount of stress possible by sticking to their routine. I will treat your animals with the utmost love, care and respect. As I do my own. :)
About: I give your pets attention and affection, keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I send pictures most days to assure you all is well. My services include house-sitting, so your pets stay home where they’re comfortable. I have decades of experience with a variety of breeds. Let’s talk about what worries you and we’ll find a solution everyone is happy with! I’d prefer to visit your pets before securing the booking, to make sure we all get along. I am self employed and pet care is one of the ways I earn my living. I also work remotely for some of my clients and use the wi-fi to get tasks done. I have been house/pet sitting for decades. I treat your home as if I was a welcome guest, but not a part of the household. Over the years, I’ve had jobs where I was bonded for security, which means I have a clean record. I’ve been entrusted with confidential & proprietary information. I’ve adhered to HIPAA rules without breaking a sweat. I am trustworthy and friendly. I have a silly sense of humor and have skewed streaming algorithms with binging scifi. I’ve lived in the extremes of rural to urban environments. I can greet & thank people in ten languages. My idea of a party is a bowl of ice cream and a movie (sci-fi, British drama). Before we book anything, I’d like to stop by the house and give the critter(s) a chance to get a good look/smell of me and you can give me the lay of the land. Housesitting: I’m being hired to keep the critter(s) company, and that’s what I do. Nana comes to visit and keeping the house safe and the animal(s) safe and happy is my primary duty. My habit is to bring my own supplies, so when you get home, everything is how you left it. I have a ukulele and I sing familiar covers, so I’ll mention it now in case the neighbors mention something about it. (I have yet to have a dog howl as I sang, though the huskies were very talkative.) Drop-In: Depending on our discussion during the Meet & Greet, I will swing by your house according to the schedule we’ve set up. I will make sure the water is fresh and the food bowl has plenty of food. (My job is to make sure the animal(s) know they are being cared for and that they don’t have to stress about whether or not they will starve to death - I’m thinking of cats especially here who see the bottom of the food bowl and start to panic. Not on my watch!) Walk: I’ll be at your house at the time(s) we’ve discussed, put on the collar and leash, and set out on the adventure. My habit is to sing as I walk so that any other critter has a chance to get out of sight - a lesson learned by startling a skunk. It is important that I know if the neighborhood is friendly or if folks keep to themselves. Do(es) the dog(s) visit friends on the trail? or should I keep them on their own?
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, giving me firsthand experience with their unique personalities, needs, and proper care. More recently, I was a member on another pet sitting website when I was a student at a university in Paris,France, where I had experience taking care of dogs and cats in my own apartment for a few different families for a period of time. The best part about watching pets is the pleasure I get from being able to give them love while their owners were away. I am open to pet sitting weekdays and weekends. I work during the week with days off in between. Early mornings and late nights are no problem. I’ll closely follow a pets routine, providing fresh water, food as instructed, exercise/playtime, medication if needed, a safe environment, and of course lots of love and affection.
“Brittany was very responsive and kept me up to date with my dogs walk. Since she couldn’t walk them very long because of the rain she stayed and played with them in the house! Will be using her again!”
About: Cats tend to trust me because I approach them with a calm, gentle spirit and allow them to connect with me at their own pace. I don’t force affection or treat their care like a checklist—I pay attention to their personality, comfort, behavior, and individual needs. My years of experience have taught me how to recognize when something may be wrong and how to respond calmly and responsibly. I take following instructions, maintaining routines, securing the home, and keeping owners informed very seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love cats and care deeply about their well-being. Every cat in my care will be treated with the same patience, protection, and compassion. I’m available most days and weekends. I work from home so my schedule is flexible. Connect with me so we can discuss a schedule that works best for you. I primarily provide pet sitting in my clients’ homes, where cats can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, medication, litter-box care, playtime, companionship, and any special needs. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident that their cats and homes are being well cared for. References from previous in-home pet-sitting clients are available upon request. I generally do not care for cats in my own home, but I may consider special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. My home has multiple levels, no children, and a securely fenced backyard. I provide grooming services for cats only and on a case by case basis. I do no clip nails. I have years of experience bathing and properly cleaning cats, both my own and strays. I can provide the service for a small fee.
“He was great with my fur baby. He kept me updated throughout his time at my house and out on the walks. He even made sure there was fresh water in his bowl before he left. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: LATEST PUPDATE (MAY 2026): Starting the month of June, I'll be able to start accepting drop in & sitting requests again. Boarding requests (in our home) are still unavailable at this time, as our pup continues to focus on his rehab & recovery. We will update this accordingly & hopefully be back to hosting your furry loved ones as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience & understanding. Hi there, I'm Erika! A true dog lover at heart & someone who enjoys the outdoors just as much! I love going hiking with my furry friends or taking them on outings to some of Abq's nicest parks, ice cream joints, dog friendly stores/events, & much more. I enjoy keeping my friends active unless they're more of a couch potato, in which we could certainly cuddle up & watch Animal Planet or Paw Patrol all night. I grew up with several rescue dogs, from small to large, and breeds of all sorts. Therefore, I learned the responsibility of caring for and walking dogs at a very young age. I've also spent a lot of time fostering dogs from puppies to seniors & the shy timid ones that just need a little time to warm up. I'm a big lover of the working breeds & understand the special kind that they are. Regardless, I love anything with fur & paws & I treat all dogs with the love & care just as they are my own.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a natural part of my day-to-day. I’ve also cared for rabbits and understand their unique needs and temperaments. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters over the years, and I worked as a veterinary assistant for two years. As a result, I’m very familiar with general animal care, handling, and behavior. I’m also experienced in administering medications when needed, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, compassionate hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m living van life with my two cats, and my boyfriend travels with me, so pets get double the attention! I also have two years of experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable with feeding, administering medications, and handling a variety of care needs. My schedule is fully flexible, allowing us to adjust our day around each pet’s routine and provide consistent care, play, and companionship wherever we are. I am currently unable to board pets in my own home as I am traveling. However, I have full availability and can help with your pet in a variety of ways. Just let me know what you need, and we can work something out!
About: Genuine fun loving animal person. Been in the caring and general services for most of my life, jack of most. Certified dog walker with KC Pet project volunteer program. Open schedule, currently doing gig delivery so out and about most days. Familiar with the area, honest trustworthy and caring. Routine is appreciated but temporary is doable as well. I understand the want and need of a pet and for them to be treated with respect and cared for as much as we care for our selves. Very understanding and here to help in anything you need help with for caring for your loved pet.
“I was looking for someone nearby to check in on and walk my pup, and I’m so glad Kayla was available. She was always on time, kept me updated, and took great care of Franky. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. My dad is a herpetologist, so I grew up caring for snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, and fish, along with dogs, cats, and chickens. This gave me an early understanding of different species, temperaments, and individual care needs. I recently relocated from Pennsylvania, while my dog is staying with my family, where she is very loved and well cared for. I’m currently saving my Rover earnings toward a road trip home to bring her here to New Mexico. Even knowing she’s in great hands, I understand how hard it can be to miss your pet and how important it is to trust the person caring for them. That perspective is a big part of how I approach pet sitting—I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience with animals of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets, and I treat each one with the same patience and attention I would want for my own. Please message me your pet sitting needs and I can likely accommodate! My availability is more open than reflected on Rover. Presently, I drop-ins, dog walking, and house sitting/overnight care. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with access to a small dog yard and a nearby park, providing plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and outdoor time. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment and will diligently follow all care instructions and routines closely and give each pet the individual attention they need to feel secure and at home.

About: Since the age of 6 I have taken care of many animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, chickens, and goats. I also enjoy hiking and tons of exercise. I joined the app in hopes of gaining a friend to enjoy the scenery with. Due to having many different classes at different times of the day I get many breaks. Within these breaks I usually take walks on my own to decompress from school. A friend told me she used Rover as well and I thought might as well have a furry friend join me on my walks and enjoy the sunshine too. I have pet sat for neighbors and friends for many years and feel I am very respectful of their homes. While working at a clients home I feel communication is key to build trust and that their house should be the same when I leave as when I entered prior to sitting.

“Our two dogs took an immediate liking to Spencer, including our one dog who is picky about who he likes depending on their vibe! Spencer took some great photos even though it was just a short walk! I look forward to our dogs spending more time with Spencer in the future!”

“This was our first time ever boarding one of our animals and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was so helpful with what to expect and made the process stress free. Our little 9 month old husky was very well taken care of and we received daily pictures of her on her own little vacation lol. I definitely recommend Brian for your pet sitting/boarding needs.”
“Michael is fantastic! He’s so attentive to the pups and takes wonderful care of them - walks every day, plenty of play time, and tons of pictures to send to us for updates daily. Definitely recommend!”
“After a stay with Jenny it’s clear our English Lab has a great time because he shows no signs of anxiety or stress. His last stay, Jenny saved the day by taking him last minute after another sitter canceled the day before we were going to leave.”
“We love Crystal! Our three dogs are always so happy to see Crystal, her husband and their two dogs when they go over. Always makes us so happy when our dogs are so happy to be back at Crystal’s house. We always get updates and cute stories, photos, or videos that we appreciate. Crystal is so conscientious and ensures your dog’s well being, safety, and happiness when your pups stay with her! She’s become a regular sitter for us and we feel so lucky!”
“Melissa and Carlos were great with our two pups. Riley and Ralphs love their home and large yard. This is our third time having her sit for us. She is attentive and communicated well sending photos of our boys thru the day. We will def be back again ?”
“She took a new dog with alot of unknowns on a very short notice for me and wife. She did an amazing job and my dog left happy both days and was excited to go back the second day. Im definitely going to use her again in the future.”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”
“Great service very friendly & communicated.She sent pics of my dog interacting with the other dogs playing . After his stay she gave me a goodies bag with treats & pictures of dog the memories created while during his 3day stay. I’m truly grateful 💕”
About: I have grown up on a farm and raised many different breed and species of pets. From cats, dogs, birds, cows, horses, chameleons, goats, rabbits, chickens, pigs, sugar gliders, and much more. I am a Veterinarian Clinical Assistant and work with a mobile pet clinic and also, came from a full service vet office. I have experience in training mainly food motivated pets on how to sit, speak, lay down, stay, paw or shake, and potty train. I’m working on as well how to heal and bigger dogs not pulling. Even senior pets I work well with and pet’s with health conditions like diabetes, etc. Have a comfortably of knowing your pet is in goid hands. Let me care and love your pet while you are working or away from home! The pets care fits around my part time work schedule. They will have a scheduled routine if I work part time that day. If im off work we will go to the park etc. I care for them by loving on them and spoiling them like they are my own, fot example my rottie that’s at home. I have so much love for animals that it is my career field after all. I will feed them, walk them, make sure they get daily exercise, and play time, as well as seniors if they have any severe joint problems I can help massage and make them feel better.
“Excellent dog sitter. Excellent communication. I got a pawgress report from the sitter to let me know our dog was doing well, which I appreciated very much. Will use this sitter again without hesitation”
“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.”
“Zorro had an amazing time staying with Bill! His puppy Lola kept Zorro entertained, and Bill is a wonderful photographer able to capture the two pups playing! Bill is an absolute treasure to the community.”
“Sabrina was amazing!! My dog absolutely loved her and staying at her home. Sabrina provided a lot of pictures and videos and did a great job with administering my dog’s daily medication! I definitely recommend Sabrina if you are looking for a sitter!”
“I couldn't be happier. Our experience with Jaime couldn't have been more flawless. I'm so glad we made this choice, I feel like our dog Chelsea was having a vacation of her own and not just in a kennel. Jaime's dogs were friendly and a perfect match. I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea was as disappointed to come as we were to end our vacation. Highest recommendations.”
