About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

“Jennifer watched our two girls for two weeks and was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job of providing updates, including photos and videos. She even dressed them for the 4th of July and was prepared with PB stuffed bones for the fireworks. Will definitely be bringing our girls back to stay with Jenn again!”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
“This is my third time boarding my dog Pax with Louisa. She is great! Pax loves her and I feel confident leaving pax with her knowing she will feed him on schedule, walk him, give him lots of rubs, and send me updates daily.”
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!

“Ren is a wonderful sitter! They made cat toys for Magic & sent a video of him playing with it! Kept me up-to-date on how Magic was doing when I was gone. Will definitely use Ren again!”
“My little kitty loved Kellie, which is a win! Kellie was great. She watched my cat for two weeks and made sure her water and food were filled. She also made sure the litter was cleaned every other day, which is more than what I usually do. She also watered my plants and took the trash out for me! My little fur baby definitely got some loving while I was away.”
“Emily did a fantastic job of taking care of our cat Tiger. This is the second time we have used Emily and we are both very pleased with her care of Tiger. Tiger warmed up to her and let her pet her after a few days. Emily followed our instructions that we gave her for Tiger's feeding, treats and crushed ice chips. Emily vacuumed or swept up the litter that Tiger tracks throughput the house. She even went above and beyond, she brought in a package at our door and even went to check our mailbox, because a medication said it was delivered to our box and it couldn't be out in the heat, even though we had a hold on our mail. I will definitely recommend Emily to anyone and we will be using her from now on when we need a pet sitter.”
“Jennifer was awesome. She took great care of our cat for 9 days. I was expecting to come home and find all sorts of throw up spots as our cat tends to throw up when she is stressed, but I did not find a single one. Jennifer was super responsive and easy to communicate with. She also took the cutest pics that we received on our daily reports! Will definitely hire Jennifer again.”
“Tommie took great care checking in on my cat Bear over the recent holiday. She is a good communicator and left check in notes that put my mind at ease while away. I would rebook with Tommie.”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.”
“Fabulous!!!! Amy and Eli go way beyond the call of duty! Such heart in their intention. And their energy to make my two cats feel loved is Amazing! I’m so moved, delighted and relieved I have finally found care takers with heart and fabulous professionalism!!!!”
“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I’ve assisted with whelping litters, ensuring each puppy gained weight appropriately, met all nutritional requirements, and received attentive care during their earliest stages of life. I also helped with early potty training, socialization, and sensory enrichment to support healthy development. In addition, I have experience caring for elderly pets by providing gentle, patient care, administering medications when needed, monitoring their comfort, and adapting to their changing needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care. I am a stay at home dog and cat mom so I’m available any time and any day to look after your fur babies when needed. I am more comfortable with taking care of your fur babies from your home just because I do have a senior Great Dane who is not the friendliest toward other doggies.
About: You can ask all the cats I’ve ever sitted, I have THE best cardboard boxes in town, paws down! From kittens to grumpy old timers, I have the experience and attention to detail you want when leaving your baby in the hands of someone else. Come on meowver!!
About: I grew up with cats and various small pets and always house-sat for my neighbors and family. I've given medication before and am comfortable with timid animals. I've always volunteered at local animal shelters and cannot get enough animal time! I work from home 6am-3pm, but I am able to work from anywhere as long as there's wifi. I can make drop-ins during my lunch and use the afternoon to hang out for longer periods. I have two large dogs that are timid, so I understand how to introduce myself to a nervous pup. I don't mind cleaning up litter boxes or critter cages and am comfortable giving medications.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Fairacres
“Sarah was wonderful to work with! I’m from out of town and needed help to watch my dog while I attended a function. Sarah was so communicative. Her yard and home are a wonderfully homey set up and all the dogs she had there when we dropped ours off were happy and playful. Sarah’s son was a greater helper! I wish they lived closer to where we live so we could work with her more. She was a lifesaver! We will be sure to return when we visit again!”
“Diana provided excellent care for our 2 Whippets! My dogs are needy and clingy- and I was worried about how they would adapt. Diana kept them happy and entertained- they were so happy with her! I am extremely pleased and look forward to many future stays. I am confident and secure leaving my precious family members with Diana🥰”

“Jasmine was PHENOMENAL with my young energetic blue heeler. She kept me updated with photos and videos and really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciated the approach she took when introducing my dog to her six dogs. She let him come in, sniff the space and meet each dog individually. That is so important and really set up my dog for success during his time with Jasmine. She was so flexible with pick up times and kind. Cannot recommend Jasmine enough!”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate.

About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.

Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely.

“Very pleased with Anna and her care of Loki. Loki was excited to see me, got home and was exhausted which is great since Loki is high energy. He played alot with her two dogs. Anna provided me with a recap of his day and photos! All in all very content. Thank you Anna and see you soon.”
About: I started dog sitting when I was young, and am experienced with all breeds, sizes, temperament and needs of dogs. Before moving to New Mexico I was even a professional trainer for a few years and I miss it so much! I am knowledgeable and experienced and will take wonderful care of your pup. I do not work so I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog all the love and attention they need. I do have 5 dogs of my own, however can easily keep them separate if needed I have a fenced yard and live next to a park so tons of space for exercise and enrichment! My car has durable crates to ensure your pet is transported safely.
About: We have had pets in and out of the home forever. We have three fur babies of our own, 1 miniture schnauzer, 1 toy poodle, 1 chihuahua and 2 guinea pigs. We treat our animals like family. We always have fresh food and water available. The yard is clean and we pick up poop regularly. The house is tidy and animal proofed always. I can also sit guinea pigs, rabbits and help you trim their nails. We work from home. So, I can help with potty training. We always have toys available and balls for fetch. Everyone likes to share. We play together and enjoy fun times. We have fenced yard with friendly neighbors. We treat our animals like family members and spoil them. We are able to give your dog a bath, trim their nails. We can accomidate most grooming requests. We allow everyone on furniture and in the bed. If overnight stay your dog is welcome in the bed or crated whichever you prefer. We will do our best to accomidate reasonable special needs. We do our best to make your pets stay comfortable as possible and look forward to helping out with your pet.
“Sasha is reliable, and prompt. She shared photos to keep my mind at ease and took our Pippin for a much needed park visit! She cuddled with the furbabies and has amazing communication! Sasha is highly recommend for Dogs, and cats- Our elderly cat (on meds) was well cared for.”
“Emily was wonderful with our energetic dog, Tallie. It is obvious that she is a dog lover. An added bonus is two friends (her two sweet pups) for Tallie to play with. A great experience and will definitely call on Emily again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! She took good care of my dog and was great with communication and sending me videos of my baby!! Definitely will be booking again!”
“Anna was superb! She was very caring and loving with our elderly dog. Also, because she is studying to be a physician, she was an excellent choice in pet sitters to help walk our dog with arthritis and provide him with eye medication. She was very thorough and professional at all times, and very friendly. She always kept her word and arrived early and spent extra time. Our little dog fell in love with her! She asked numerous questions and made sure she provided exactly the care that we were asking her to do for our dog. Her photos and descriptions of each of the walks with our dog were very helpful while we were out of state. This was our first time using Rover. Anna earned an A+ with us! She made us feel very comfortable in our absence. We would definitely use Anna again, and so would our dog Guinness!”
“Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.”
“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
“I needed a dog walker on very short notice for a few days. Jasmine responded fast, we had a nice introductory meeting and she did a wonderful job with my dog during my absence. She was timely, did her task with my dog very lovingly and I will use Jasmine soon again. Wonderful experience and I would recommend her anytime!”
About: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.
About: I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter. I work full-time from home, so I’m here throughout the day and night to care for your pup. My large, secure backyard is always open, giving dogs the freedom to come and go as they please. Access to the backyard is available all day for the dogs and they can freely go in and out as needed. I have a safe and secure home where dogs are allowed on the furniture and in every room of the house. I do not smoke or do any drugs and will ensure the safety, love, and care of your dogs. My home is a quiet, calm, and serene environment.

About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*
About: I’ve had numerous experiences with all kinds of animals. I’m a Retired RN and can give injections/meds to your sick/senior babies. I have lots of time to spend taking care of your babies. I retired this year and that allows me to be available 24/7. Also weekends and holidays are not a problem. Medical Care not an issue. I am available to stay overnight in your home if needed. I currently have 2 cats both Seniors and 2 dogs. I spoil them rotten as they should be.
About: I grew up with cats and various small pets and always house-sat for my neighbors and family. I've given medication before and am comfortable with timid animals. I've always volunteered at local animal shelters and cannot get enough animal time! I work from home 6am-3pm, but I am able to work from anywhere as long as there's wifi. I can make drop-ins during my lunch and use the afternoon to hang out for longer periods. I have two large dogs that are timid, so I understand how to introduce myself to a nervous pup. I don't mind cleaning up litter boxes or critter cages and am comfortable giving medications.
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate. I am not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. I am currently looking for a job but not in a huge hurry. While waiting I will work at my dream job ☺️Dog sitting. I will provide for the needs and safety of your pets per client requirement with much love and kindness. Having a play time is also a must. 😊
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals at every stage of life. I don’t just “watch” pets — I care for them as if they were my own. I understand that each animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience working with both young and senior pets. With puppies and young dogs, I am patient and consistent with basic training reinforcement, including potty routines, leash manners, and positive behavior habits. I know how important structure is during those early months, and I make sure to maintain the routine you’ve established. For senior pets, I provide gentle, attentive care and closely monitor mobility, medication schedules, and comfort needs. I understand that older animals often need extra patience, slower walks, and more frequent check-ins, and I’m comfortable administering oral medications if needed.
About: Since I was in middle school, I was chosen as the neighborhood petsitter due to my responsible nature and love for animals. To be trusted with the care of a loved pet is the most honorable position I can think of and one that I hope to continue here in New Mexico. To keep an animal happy when their owner is away is something I pride myself in. I also have experience in dosing medicine for multiple types of animals. I'm a graduate student and TA at NMSU with flexible class schedules where I would be able to attend to the daily needs of the client's pets. Because I don't work outside of the University, there would seldom be a time that I would be unavailable for pet care needs. I have always adhered to the highest standard of the needs of an animal based on the human owner's desire and interactions with their pet. I am adaptable in a multitude of ways, including the needs of the animal I will be caretaking in their place of comfort instead of a new environment. I have a clean background check and pride myself in creating an atmosphere of trust and dependability.

About: Animals have been a central part of my life for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and I am a Certified Animal Cruelty Investigator through my previous professional work. I also spent over 10 years involved in animal rescue, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for animals with a wide variety of needs, temperaments, and backgrounds. Now retired and home full-time, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable, and loving care for your pets. I understand that pets are cherished family members, and I treat every animal in my care with the same kindness, patience, and respect that I would want for my own. Whether your pet needs companionship, exercise, special attention, or simply a caring presence while you're away, you can feel confident knowing they are in experienced and compassionate hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and providing them with exceptional care and attention. I am retired. Home most of the time. I have a super flexible schedule. I am an outdoor person. I love taking the pups for a walk to the river. I like to have a good routine with my pets. In the summer we get up early to go for a walk before the sun get's too warm. I have a nice fenced yard with shade. We can spend plenty outside. If I am at your home, I will follow your detailed schedule.
“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
“I appreciate that Alejandra was available and willing to take care of my baby for a whole week with just a one week notice. She is personable and flexible, making the intro visit a breeze. She knows how to handle meds, which is a big deal for me since my baby needs different meds twice daily. She seems to love and pamper doggies- my baby was barking at me from Alejandra's bed when I went to pick her up.... TRAICIONERA! I would definitely use Alejandra again if available.”

“Jennifer watched our two girls for two weeks and was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job of providing updates, including photos and videos. She even dressed them for the 4th of July and was prepared with PB stuffed bones for the fireworks. Will definitely be bringing our girls back to stay with Jenn again!”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
“This is my third time boarding my dog Pax with Louisa. She is great! Pax loves her and I feel confident leaving pax with her knowing she will feed him on schedule, walk him, give him lots of rubs, and send me updates daily.”
About: I grew up on a farm just outside of hutch, so we had a large variety of animals, including but not limited to cats, dogs, and even a tortise at one point! I’d love to help meet all your needs and your animals needs in anyway possible! I recently moved to new mexico, but i am at home all day everyday! I am currently a travel nurse, but I am home a lot with my schedule, so my 5 cats and 1 dog, all are fully vaccinated get a lot of one on one time. But I love taking care of animals so that’s why I’m doing this. It fits really well into my ever changing routine. I currently live in a 56 foot Sanibel camper, but it is a pet friendly camper. My 5 cats Jezabell, Bogey, Penner, Don Julio, and Eve are very friendly and easy to get along with. They have free range food, as i tried to limit it and it just wasn’t working for them so Im trying this and it seems to work very well for them. They also have whatever they could ever want in water and toys, and I clean their litter boxes at least once a day to make them happier :) Ripley goes on walks morning and night, and is out of her kennel all day with me most days. But she is crate trained and very respectful but also playful!

“Murissa took care of our Bella for a week. She provided pictures and videos daily. We will book with her next time we need someone to watch our fur baby. We highly recommend her to anyone considering leaving their fur baby with someone.”
About: I do really well with pets, If ever I'm at a gathering and there's pets around, I'm usually with them instead of talking to humans. i am very extremely available basically everyday of the week. Heck, you can call me in the middle of the night when you're hungover at a friend's house and I'll watch your pet pets need love like everything does. I am very calm with animals. I tend to get close to them with a soft voice, never rough house or pet wildly to bother them. They respond very well to a calm demeanor
