“Ziggy had a great time with Rachel! He quickly made himself at home and loved cuddling, playing ball, and going on walks with her. Rachel made it easy to coordinate around my travel plans and kept me updated on how Ziggy was doing.”
“This was our second time boarding with Amanda and our little pup was excited to be back, wagging her tail the second she saw Amanda. Great to know she enjoys the stay and is well cared for when we are away!”
“We needed a place for Finnley for a long holiday weekend. He absolutely enjoyed his college visit and came back with a higher education and some new tricks. Isabella was incredibly responsive and flexible with our schedule while taking amazing care of Finn and keeping us updated about his adventures. We think he is excited to go back and visit his new feline friend Prince.”
“Jess did such a great job watching our little Megan. She made me feel comfortable right away and my dog seemed just like herself when we went and picked her up. I got pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and communication was always fast. Would definitely book again!”
“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“Kendell was a great sitter for my dog Midnight. She was helpful in scheduling the time. She provided great care with regular walks. For the time away she sent me regular notes and pictures of my dog.”
“Laurie was just great in every aspect of boarding our pooch Mikey. She was very accommodating to our schedule and was quick to respond to calls and text. But most importantly, Laurie was fantastic with Mikey. One could immediately tell she is at ease with dogs. I would certainly use Laurie on our next visit to Prescott and recommend her to our friends with dogs. John and Nancy F.”
“Did a phenomenal job of caring for it cats while I moved into a new apartment post-divorce. Sent quite a few picture updates while respecting distance of the cat who likes her space. Would book again 😀”
“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”
“Michelle was patient, professional, and great with Roscoe! Michelle also has a fabulous space for hosting. My fur baby got lots of cuddles and playtime. I would book with Michelle again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Calista and her roommates were amazing! They loved having my pups! With her professional expertise in animal care I felt very safe leaving them with her. She kept me updated everyday and whenever I asked with pics and videos! I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended 100%”

“Stef was amazing!!! She cared so much for our dogs while they were with her. I am a nervous dog mom so I’m concerned any time my “kids” aren’t with me BUT Stef made it easy. She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”
“Katie took great care of Nela! She communicated well with me and was a joy to interact with. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust to leave our sweet pup with when we are away.”
“We have continued to use Candace as she is great with our Chihuahua. Our pup wags her tail when we walk up Candace's steps to drop her off, that's when we know she's in great hands.”
“Joy was great!! She took Lilly to the park and made sure she was well taken care of. Joy has a great love for animals and it shows. I would be happy to leave Lilly with Joy anytime I’m away!!”

“I’m really sad to be moving, because I will miss her. She was our go to pet-sitter and she went above and beyond for us and the cats. Her daily check in notes were funny and the cats were well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was a wonderful pet sitter. She clearly cares a lot about animals and pays attention to details. She took care of our cat while we were away for a week and we came home to a very happy kitty. We plan to use her again for Olive and our other animals.”
“We have one cat who loves everybody and one who thinks all other humans are evil mutants who want to destroy her very way of life. Prior to Hannah our little scaredy cat wouldn’t be seen for at least 3 days and only with intensive coaxing food. But with Hannah she was out on day one. By day two, she was following Hannah around and getting tons of pets. Thank you, Hannah, for taking such amazing care of our cats, sharing the most amazing photos, and making us laugh through your writing. Hannah extended our coverage time and let the cats know we were delayed. Lol. Their response still makes me laugh. We are hooked on Hannah, officially.”
“Tara was awesome! She paid special attention to my kitties and sent me regular updates. She was super communicative and easy to get a hold of. I’ll def book her in the future.”
“What a great experience! Brittany was a very attentive cat sitter for the week. Incredibly knowledgeable about animal care, lots of updates and photos, great communication. She was professional, and asked lots of questions to make sure everything was covered beforehand. Would absolutely book her again in the future, no question.”
“Angel did a great job. She was on time for visits, sent lots of photos and contacted me when necessary for questions. Through her communication she put my mind at ease that my kitties were being well cared for. I will use her again.”
“Mel was Amazing with Margaret! They were very understanding when our plans changed and flexible with our schedule. Mel sent an update daily and very communicative! Will definitely book again! 😸”
“Helen has been very responsive and accommodating with our requests. She handles our puppy as if it was her own. She provides an update and a pic for every visit which is comforting as the dog owner. Thanks Helen!!”
About: I love meeting new pups and helping them live their best life! Safety is first and I will communicate with you to make sure your dog enjoys their walk and has all their physical or medical needs accounted for. Having two of my own dogs I know how important it is to have peace of mind! My background in addition to pet care and sitting has also involved working with herding dogs on ranches as well as many years of horse, goat, and chicken care! Animals have always been a part of my life and I look forward to using my experience to help you and your animals. SAFETY, COMFORT, and FUN are my highest priorities! I work as a full time artist and walk dogs part time. Typically Sunday through Wednesday are my available days! I’m happy to accommodate your schedule as much as possible. Safety is the priority. Before any walks I will check with you about any safety concerns such as whether your dog has behavioral issues, escapes out the door or out of their collar, or any joint pain or physical limitations they may have. I will tend to stick to routes they are familiar with as this is usually the safest route.
“I have a special needs cat that requires expression of the bladder twice a day. Marissa handled this without a problem. She even offered to come back by if my flight was delayed. Both my cats were happy when I got home and house was clean! Recommended and will be calling her back.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - El Rancho
“Dawn was so amazing with our dog Miles. He was new to doggy day care and she helped both of us feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She was careful, considerate, and kind and we can’t wait to work with her again.”
“Kendell is excellent! We were worried about finding a sitter during a road trip, and we are lucky that Kendell was available to sit Bella for a couple of hours! She is very attentive and took good care of Bella, and even left us a summary of the walks she took her on and how Bella did with her dinner. We are extremely grateful!”
“I am visiting Santa Fe from out of town, and Stephanie took care of my high-energy Labrador for the day. My dog came back to me clean and tired, and Stephanie sent me photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely take Margot to her again!”
“Michelle was terrific with our Muppet! Very accommodating on our short notice request. Would definitely recommend to others and have her watch our pup again if needed. Thanks Michelle!”
About: Been doing this a long time! Very experienced and welcoming to young and old. Plenty of space for your pup or your pack. Welcome to your dogs home away from home I’m retired home all day every day. I would be onsite to watch over your dog or your dog pack. Retired from public service, put in 30 years!! Fully fenced yard, doggy door, an acre to roam on. Inviting quiet neighborhood with references if needed. I’d welcome one and all to come stay with me

About: I am a reliable and compassionate pet sitter with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I can provide in-home pet sitting services, overnight stays, including feeding and walking. My pets and I have a daily routine, and I'm always at home. Every day, we like taking walks, and they may play in my backyard. I'll always make sure your pet is content and feels safe. I reside in a gated community with a sidewalk behind my house, and I have a fenced yard.
“We brought our older dog with us to Santa Fe and realized that in order to see all the lovely art museums we needed to find someone to care for Zippy. Zippy has separation anxiety and we were worried about leaving him for an extended time. We had nothing to worry about. He really enjoyed his time with Victoria! He got to play with other dogs, watch the chickens, take walks. He was living his best life, while we were able to enjoy Santa Fe dog free. It was a win-win for everyone. I highly recommend Victoria for daycare.”
About: Your four legged BFF(s) will be treated like family when I'm caring for them. I'm here for the scritches, belly rubs, play time, exercise (and whatever else your dog or cat needs). You will get peace of mind knowing your pet will be loved on and attended to while you're away. It's important to me that your furry friend is 100% comfortable, has fun and is happy. I will enforce healthy rules and boundaries and of course lots of snacks and praise for good behavior. I live in an active household with a dog and two cats. We get outdoors as much as we can for hiking, adventures and exercise. I believe that patience, compassion, exercise and strong leadership are key to maintaining healthy, happy, well socialized companions. There is no such thing as a "bad dog" and there is always room for growth and learning opportunities. I have a fenced yard with one friendly dog. I am in between jobs with a flexible schedule. My days are open for adventures or watching your pup at home or dropping in to your place for a visit/play session. I have one friendly senior dog. I can easily accommodate crate training or can keep your dog separate from my dog if preferred. In your home, I will try to be consistent in following your routine as much as possible if preferred. I will tailor my visits/walks to you and your pet's specific needs and preferences.
“Anaissa is a true dog person and was an excellent sitter for our dog. We’re on an extended road trip and our dog has been feeling a bit stressed. Anaissa wasn’t phased and introduced our dog to others slowly. She kept us updated throughout the day, and we picked up a tired and happy pup. I highly recommend her!”
About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well
About: My husband and I have an Australian cattle dog and had a tabby cat who has crossed the rainbow road. I often care for my family members' dog when they are out of town. He requires special care, as he needs to take a few pills every day both day and night. This schedule is second nature to us. We enjoy being around our furry pals and will enjoy caring for yours too! They will be treated like our own pets and will benefit from being more socialized! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home and can easily adjust to your pets needs. I work a traditional schedule leaving my weekends especially open. I have a fenced in yard and our back door has a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as they please. We also have a large dog crate if your pet is kennel trained.
About: I provide attentive, loving care and treat every dog like my own. I’m patient, reliable, and very observant, which helps me quickly pick up on each dog’s routine, personality, and needs. I have experience with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and crate training, as well as senior dogs who may need extra patience, slower walks, medications, or special diets. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent schedules, and keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of attention. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and I’m flexible with walks, medications, and special care needs. My routine is calm and structured, making it especially ideal for puppies who need consistency and for senior dogs who benefit from a relaxed, attentive environment. I provide personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family with a calm, safe environment, regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I follow any training rules, dietary needs, and medication schedules closely. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, administering medications if needed, and giving affection and companionship. I also make sure the home is respected—bringing in mail, cleaning up after pets, and keeping everything tidy. I always provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“We had such a good experience leaving our Weimaraner with Eva. Our dog has separation anxiety, but with Eva he actually relaxed and seemed to enjoy himself! We received pictures throughout the stay, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves too. The location is a big plus for spending time around the plaza. We can't say enough good things about our Rover experience with Eva. Would definitely recommend.”
“Iosif was amazing! Great communication from start to finish sent me updates throughout the day with videos and pictures. Iosif was very careful and wanted to make sure that his dog and my dog got along and asked the appropriate questions I was traveling, but if I am in Santa Fe again, I need pet sitting he’ll be my first choice.”
About: My pets growing up were 3 dogs Lacy, Maya and Frodo as well as many kitties. Oso was my Cat, we had him from the time I was 4-14years old. We also had a chicken coop we were responsible for, horses that were our landlords but that we fed, and a fish tank with guppies and sucker fish. My 1st gig watching someone else’s pet, was for an elderly woman at my church when I was about 12. Milo was an older golden retriever. I walked him, cleaned his outside restroom area, fed, bathed, and blow-dryed him. Family and friends have always reached out to me for help over the years, I have cared for Rottweilers, pit bulls, small dogs, handicap animals, both cats and dogs. I am great with communicating and accustomed to following the routines their owners have set for them as I believe that is most respectful. My schedule is 8am-1pm. So I am free all afternoons typically Mon-Thursday. Weekend hours vary for me but I am usually available either morning or night. I have stone floors 1 roll out carpet, and live in a non-smoking apartment. I have a small backyard with dirt area and kennel. Willing to do house visits as well! Don’t mind taking dogs to parks in my car either as long as it’s okay with the owner.
About: Caring for animals comes naturally, and nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Animals have always been part of my life, as I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats and more! I've raised puppies from 3 days old, having to bottle feed and potty train...all the way up to seniors, managing meds and declining capabilities. I volunteered at a shelter in Mexico for a year. Through that experience, I was exposed to a lot of medical and behavioral situations, which taught me a lot. My partner and I both work from home, which means your pup will never be lonely. We know how to make dogs feel comfortable, and aim to have them feel like they've taken a little vacation, too! I know leaving your pets can be stressful. I send lots of updates and pictures, so you can feel relaxed and assured your pup is happy and healthy. My partner and I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility in our schedule. We currently have a 10lb Chihuahua, who was left on our doorstep with umbilical cord still attached! At 2 years old now, he's a pretty easy going guy, and likes to be part of a pack from time to time. He usually gets 2 walks a day around the neighborhood. Or, we will do a nice long walk or hike, if time allows. We feed twice a day and provide treats for being a good dog, of course. I love to take work breaks to play tug of war or fetch. Belly rubs are available every night for all four legged residents of the house who want them! Any furry guests would fit seemlessly into our routine. We have a fenced yard, and are always home when pets are in the yard. No dangerous chemicals or pet hazards in our house. Generally, we aren't away from for more than a few hours. We are also happy to take them with us, whenever possible.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - El Rancho
“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond in walking our dog this week. She’s even helping us to learn how to get him to pull less. It was so nice to know that our dog was in good hands.”
“Hannah started regular dog walks for our sweet girl last week. After two weeks of daily walks (M-F), we are as big a fan of Hannah as she is of our pup. Daily reports are a treat to read and we know Sophie’s leash is in capable hands each afternoon while we are at work. Hannah is prompt and reliable and great with our dog. Five stars.”
About: I have experience caring not just for cats and dogs, but more exotic animals such as parrots and chickens. I'm also experienced in giving medication to pets, and willing to do other chores around the house while you're away! I'm currently unemployed, so I can come by anytime to look after your pets. Might change once I'm offered a job, but I'll always make time for your animal friends! I can come to your house and look after your pets. I live in an apartment with a strict pet policy, so looking after them here is a no-go. I'll happily stay at your place and look after your pets there though!
“Brittany is INCREDIBLE. She is made to be working with animals! I feel blessed to be able to leave my pup in her care when I’m at work. She’s professional, provides great updates (with photos), and is an all around wonderful human. I am so lucky to have found Brittany to care for my puppy.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and always will be. Growing up I had everything from fish to horses. I currently have 1 dog. I couldn't imagine life without her. Just seeing her sweet little face every day brings such joy and happiness to my life. I have pet sitted for friends and family for many years and would love to have an opportunity to do the same for you and your little furry or feathered friend(s) as well. I am currently working Mon-Thurs from 730am to 330pm. I am available early morning hours and evenings on those days to help with drop ins, walks, and play dates with your furry friends. I am available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays all day. I do prefer to care for your fur baby in your home at the present time as my fur baby tends to be dog selective.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life so I understand the basics of training and taking care of them. I currently have an orange tabby named Prince who gets along super well with other dogs and cats! No worries if your pet doesn’t get along with others though, I can also have other people watch him while yours stays. I can care for pets whenever, I have classes throughout the week but since I stay on campus I’m never more than 5 minutes walking distance away from my dorm. On average I have about 3 hours of classes per week day so I’m home the rest of the time. I will be able to board always and do dog walks any day of the week. I have reliable transportation as well. My dorm is quite large so I have space to take care of pets, as well as toys and food and a litter box for cats if you can’t bring yours. I also live in a very outdoorsy campus so I can take dogs on long nature walks.
“Chase has been walking my dog for the last few weeks. He is always on time, very friendly, helpful and kind. My dog always enjoys his time with. Phase. I highly recommend.”

About: I love all animals and have extensive experience with cats and dogs, from personally owning them myself to volunteering with local shelters. I have done it all. I am pretty flexible. My daily routine already includes taking care of my 5 rescue cats, which includes feeding them and cleaning their litter areas. I like to make sure I make the pets feel at ease however I can. I know this experience can be anxiety-inducing, and I am patient with all kinds of personalities.
“Angel takes such great care of our pup! She’s quick to respond and flexible with our schedule. Can tell from the pictures she sends that our dog is happy and enjoys walks with Angel.”
About: If your pet needs a new best friend… I’m your guy. I’ve loved animals literally my whole life! My first dog was a Husky who used to give me chaparoned rides in the backyard when I was a baby. Since then I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chickens, and animals have always just vibed with me! I bond really well with pets of all kinds, whether they’re shy, playful, energetic, or the type that just wants a chill person around. I do this because I genuinely love animals, and taking care of them makes me happy ! It’s something that feels natural and meaningful to me. If you choose me, I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own little pack, with patience, attention, and good energy. Whether it’s walks, hangs, feedings, or just being a safe presence while you’re away, I’m here to make it easy for both you and your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m flexible and can work around you and your pets schedule. We’ll find a rhythm that works for both of us. Alongside pet sitting and house sitting, I offer energy healing sessions. Feel free to ask me more. I take care of pets in a way that feels natural for us. In your home, I stick to their usual schedule and make sure they get attention, company, and whatever they need to feel safe. I’ve got plenty of time to give, and I’m available for overnights if you’re going out of town.
“Our clan of canines with a pack leading feline LOVE Heather! Heather is kind, caring and easy going with all of the rituals around our furry friendly lifestyle. We are excited to add her to the mix.”
About: I have experience working with animals as a kennel tech at a vet hospital. I’ve owned pets ever since I was little, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs. I work full time but am WFH flexible so I can stay at home all day whenever I like! I am free any day of the week! I live in an apartment but near enough to a park to walk around in often! I currently have one cat living with me who is dog friendly.
About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.
About: I grew up in a household with cats, dogs, small mammals, exotic and domestic birds, reptiles, and fish. I have experience as both a short and long term pet/house sitter. A large portion of my life has been spent working at pet stores, aquariums, wildlife rehabilitation facilities and with animal trainers so I have good background knowledge surrounding a large variety of animal care. By trade I am a biologist with a focus in the marine sciences. As a full-time field biologist, the field part of my job doesn’t allow me time to have pets of my own. So between field jobs I greatly enjoy the opportunity to pet sit since I have lots of time to dedicate to your pet! I feel that pet sitting is a great way to get some animal time in while also helping out. I am very attentive, caring, trustworthy, and dedicated. Every home has a routine and flow all its own, one of the most important things a sitter can do is maintain that rythem while the pet parent is away, and give lots of extra love too. Thank you for taking the time to review my information, I would be thrilled to speak with you about how we can work together to meet you and your pets needs.
About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little and I loved to care for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.

“Elthea and Joshua did a great job with my kitties! I could tell from the pictures every day that they adjusted really quickly and then were very happy during their stay. Already planning to utilize their services in the future!”
“This was our second time boarding with Amanda and our little pup was excited to be back, wagging her tail the second she saw Amanda. Great to know she enjoys the stay and is well cared for when we are away!”
“They were such great sitters! Momo got along with her 2 y/o son and two other dogs! They regularly took her to parks and on walks. So many videos and pics! I would seriously enjoy having them look after her again. They were the perfect match for Momo.”
“We needed a place for Finnley for a long holiday weekend. He absolutely enjoyed his college visit and came back with a higher education and some new tricks. Isabella was incredibly responsive and flexible with our schedule while taking amazing care of Finn and keeping us updated about his adventures. We think he is excited to go back and visit his new feline friend Prince.”
“Christopher was a very reliable sitter who communicated clearly and definitely has a lot of experience! Our pup loved boarding with Christopher and we loved knowing that she was safe and happy!”
“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”
“I give Gavin the highest recommendation! He is the best! My puppy loved being with Gavin and Wana, who is Gavin's gentle and good-natured boxer. Gavin took really good and thorough care of my puppy. I totally trust him to make good choices. My puppy gave Gavin many "kisses" when we left. I will always call Gavin to board my pup if I have to go out of town!”
“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”
“Michelle was patient, professional, and great with Roscoe! Michelle also has a fabulous space for hosting. My fur baby got lots of cuddles and playtime. I would book with Michelle again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Mark was very kind and took great care of Piper. He sent me pics and took her for walks and trips to the dog park. He was good at communicating. I felt Piper was in good hands and I would definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Whenever I travel, just knowing that Rossen is having fun or relaxing with Nancy and her sweet dog Benny makes me feel so at ease. It really lets me focus on what I need to do, without worrying about him at all”
“Calista and her roommates were amazing! They loved having my pups! With her professional expertise in animal care I felt very safe leaving them with her. She kept me updated everyday and whenever I asked with pics and videos! I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended 100%”
“Ian took such good care of our Max. He went on walks and a car ride (Max lives a car ride!), so Max had the best day. Thanks for being available at the last minute and for taking care of Max!”
“Stef was amazing!!! She cared so much for our dogs while they were with her. I am a nervous dog mom so I’m concerned any time my “kids” aren’t with me BUT Stef made it easy. She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”
“Katie took great care of Nela! She communicated well with me and was a joy to interact with. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust to leave our sweet pup with when we are away.”
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”
“Tara took amazing care of Wrangler! He had so much fun and didn’t want to come home. She took him hiking every day, sent lots of pics, and clearly took great care of Wrangler. We’ll definitely give Tara a call next time were in Santa Fe!”
