Personalized care for your dog or cat - Jaconita
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Jaconita
“Dan was great with the dogs. We got pictures and videos every day and the dogs were very comfortable with her and her pups when we came to collect them. I would highly recommend her as a sitter. She has a nice enclosed yard and house very suitable for dogs. We will definitely be back.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Katie's the best! Clark had never spent a night away from home before and I was worried about how he'd handle it. Katie made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with the other dogs, and he settled in almost immediately. Already booked our next stay.”
“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%”
“Augie’s stay with Angel was just great. He had never boarded before, so we were a little anxious. But Angel went out of her way to keep him comfortable and entertained, even during a thunderstorm!”
“Jess did a great job. Our dog is old and kind of grumpy and very anxious. She is also on a lot of medications. Jess was very calm and reassuring with her, walked her every day and didn’t have any problems with the medication. We would use her again.”
“Melinda was a fantastic dog sitter for Walter! He immediately felt right at home, even sitting on top of her laundry. She was great with providing us updates and Walter really enjoyed her yard and the other pups she was watching. Would absolutely have her watch Walter again!”
“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.”
“Kendell was wonderful with our dog Bill. She was very communicative and responsive with us. She was so kind and gentle that Bill was comfortable with her immediately. She sent us pictures and updates and left us feeling secure in knowing that Bill was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and would book with her again when in Santa Fe.”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“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 😀”
“Rachel did a superb job taking care of our 15 month old pup for two weeks! She went above and beyond making sure that Rio was comfortable, entertained and safe. She provided ample pics and updates. She even did puppy “artwork” with her, which we got to keep. I was amazed at this level of care, which allowed me to not worry a bit. Priceless.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Joy was fantastic with Ziggy who can sometimes be a little anxious in new settings and a finicky eater. Joy put me at ease with lots of updates and Ziggy really loved her. She went above and beyond to buy him some chicken when he ran out. Thanks Joy!!”
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was 12. Ive helped friends potty train and crate train puppies. I cared for my senior dog for many years before he passed in 2024. Ive fostered animals through animal shelters as well as helped rehome friends and family pets when needed. Ive taken care of friends pets as well as family. If you have any further questions please dont hesitate to ask! (: I am a stay at home mom. We wake up early and I usually stay up late tidying and taking care of our other pets. We only leave for short periods during the day. Your pet and my children will not be left alone at anytime. I have a large fenced back yard. I also have a friendly medium sized dog named Halo who would love to keep your companion company. I can crate over night or during breaks as long as you bring an appropriate sized kennel for them. I may have one on hand if it is a weekly appointment.
“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.”
“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.”

“I always know Milo is going to be in the best hands when Stephanie takes care of him! She is communicative, friendly, and sends lots of pictures to keep me updated!”
“Susan did a wonderful job caring for our cat! We will definitely use her services again, if we should need a sitter. Thank you Susan for all the pictures you took, and for taking the time to play with Luna. She was one happy kitty, when we returned home.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of cats all my life. I owe 3 boy cats & have been a foster parent to cats through Feline and friends! Friends have relied on me to check in on their fur babies and I would like to be able to do the same.
“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.”
“Thanks so much for taking such good care of our kitty! I loved getting the pics you sent and your great communication! I felt so good once I saw the pic of him snuggling with you (you're obviously a cat person! 😸). For those considering a booking with Kaleigh, she followed all instructions and more! I wouldn't hesitate leaving Sully in her care again 😻”
About: I'm new to caring for dogs professionally, I've dog and cat sat for my neighbor several times over the last three years. While I'm new to taking care of pets in a professional setting, I've cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I've always felt a kindred spirit for animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care. From feeding, to bathing, and walking there isn't any dog I haven't enjoyed taking care of or spending time with. I recently lost my sweet boy who was in my life for seven years as he was an elder dog when I adpoted him and that's what brought me to Rover. I can guarantee your pet will be well cared for with me. I have a pretty open schedule right now since I only work part-time. I'm available after 3 pm Monday - Wednesday and have full availibility Thursday - Sunday to care for your fur baby. I'm available for boarding on weekends and can come to your fur baby as well if they prefer being at home. You can have peace of mind knowing that your fur baby will be cared for with full attention to detail. I can ensure a peaceful and calm environment when caring for your pets especailly senior pets who enjoy peace and quiet. If your pet needs a lot of outside time, walks are my specialty. Whatever your pet needs are I can accomodate. I'm always open to meeting with you and your pet to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable.
“Brittany was everything we could have wished for and more! Our cat absolutely adored her and we loved how well she communicated with us and gave us daily updates. We would book Brittany again in a heartbeat and recommend her to everyone ❤️”
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three of my own who mean the world to me. I’ve cared for cats from every walk of life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and needs. I approach every cat with patience, respect, and a calm energy that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with medical needs, including closely monitoring a rescued kitten through kidney failure and administering IV treatments. I’m also comfortable giving eye drops and have cared for kittens with eye conditions requiring consistent medication. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to understand their routines, cues, and comfort levels so they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.
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.
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’ve always loved cats and enjoy spending time with animals. While I don’t have professional cat-sitting experience yet, I’m responsible, patient, and committed to giving every cat the care and attention they deserve. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, clean litter boxes, play with cats, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I will care for yours like they’re my own.

About: Been doing this a long time! Very experienced and welcoming to young and old. Plenty of space for your pup or your pack.

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
“Thank you so much for taking care of our little buddy today. We super appreciate you being able to take him last minute while we went on our adventure. Dominic is in great spirits, and we can tell he had a wonderful day with you. Thank you again, and we look forward to reaching out when we are back in Santa Fe.”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, and Mazzy had a great time playing with her dog. Michelle is very knowledgeable about dogs, and what they need; she also gave me some great training tips and insights into Mazzy’s behaviors and what might be causing them…”
“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!”

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

“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!”
“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!”
“Pawsitively a perfect experience! Jessica took this last minute request super early in the morning and took care of my pup as if he was her own. My pup had a blast playing with her furbabies and was in the BEST mood when I picked him up. Will 100% be using her again!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: 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 all pets. Rottweilers, pit bulls, huskies, 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 either 8am-1pm or 2-8pm. I have a 1hour lunch and am home otherwise. I usually have 2 days off a week so will also be home on those days. I have stone floors, no carpet, and live in a non-smoking apartment. I have a small backyard with dirt area and kennel where they usually take small potty breaks aside from walks and dog parks!
“My dog, Sissy is difficult to board as she's fearful and selective with both dogs and people. Melinda's quiet, easy manner was just what Sissy needs. Melinda didn't push anything and as a result Sissy was on her back asking for a belly rub shortly into her day visit. Melinda's dog, is completely and seemed to realize Sissy was scared. I'm hoping to book Melinda again soon for our 3 week upcoming Peru trip.”

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 girl and I loved to caring 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.

My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.
“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: Since I was five years old I’ve had a dog. At the age of seven my family moved to a ranch where at one time we had up to 15 catahoula/pitbull mixes, labradors, and German Shepherds. I also volunteered for two years at an animal shelter in Bryan, TX. I have dealt with several dogs of different demeanors as well as given first aid to dogs with various injuries. Rest assured your dog will be safe with me! Hi there! I’ve just moved to Santa Fe, and I would be more than happy to watch your furry friend. I am actively job hunting, so I will let you know if I have an interview scheduled. I have one active Labrador retriever who is well-tempered and trained so there will not be many dogs. If I have another dog coming on the date you requested I will let you know in advance. I have a fenced yard with artificial turf and one energetic, playful, and well-tempered Labrador retriever. She’s spayed and fully vaccinated (+ the bordetella vaccine) of course, and loves to play! No history of aggression or dog fights, and she is well trained.
About: Working with pets is something I truly love. I grew up on a farm with countless cats, cows, pigs, and horses, where I think that love started. Since, I’ve volunteered for an animal shelter, cared for other’s pets (housesitting, walking, drop in visits), and had my own doggo for thirteen years, and recently adopted a sweet family dog. Under my care, you can trust that your pet will be safe and happy. At the moment, pet care is my main priority! I haven’t any major responsibilities competing with it, so I can dedicate a great deal of time and love into pet care. I’d love to make a schedule where I can take your dog on long walks/hikes and cuddle, or give your kitty lots of love throughout the day! When I care for a pet, I take that responsibly very seriously. I follow instructions closely and give the cat and/or dog all the love and pets! I’m happy to provide as many updates and pictures that you’d like to give you peace of mind, as that’s what I would want as a pet owner myself!
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.
About: I would love to bring my dedication and professionalism to work as your newest pet sitter. I have 7 years of being patient, empathetic with a high attention to detail. I am reliable and true worthy. I a very flexible schedule and I am available to play, walk, feed, bathe or just love your pet between 8:00 Am and 6:00 PM I have a condo with large patio doors for your pet to freely walk in and out. I live right next to a large park we’re I would gladly take your pet to run and play. I have a small loving and very friendly dog which is a chihuahua. I also have mischievous kitten who LOVES to play with dogs. I’m flexible and will do my best to work around your pet’s routine. I understand how important consistency is for cats, and I’ll make sure they are fed, given fresh water, and checked on at the times you request. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated while you’re away. I know that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and keeping your cat safe indoors. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep everything clean, and make sure your pet feels calm, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Dan was great with the dogs. We got pictures and videos every day and the dogs were very comfortable with her and her pups when we came to collect them. I would highly recommend her as a sitter. She has a nice enclosed yard and house very suitable for dogs. We will definitely be back.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“Katie's the best! Clark had never spent a night away from home before and I was worried about how he'd handle it. Katie made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with the other dogs, and he settled in almost immediately. Already booked our next stay.”
“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%”
“Augie’s stay with Angel was just great. He had never boarded before, so we were a little anxious. But Angel went out of her way to keep him comfortable and entertained, even during a thunderstorm!”
“Melinda was a fantastic dog sitter for Walter! He immediately felt right at home, even sitting on top of her laundry. She was great with providing us updates and Walter really enjoyed her yard and the other pups she was watching. Would absolutely have her watch Walter again!”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Heidi is fantastic. Warm, caring, attentive, great communicator. Couldn’t recommend more. Bindi’s a great host as well! Our 8 1/2 year old dog Emmy stayed with them for two weeks (after our regular dog sitter had a last minute medical emergency and we were lucky to find Heidi). Emmy took a little time to get adjusted and Bindi (Heidi’s dog) gave her space and kept her cool. I’m really thankful to them both for giving Emmy such a welcoming, safe and fun place to stay. She loved the fenced-in outdoor space. And didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up!”
“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!”
“Tami was great. She took my dogs over a holiday weekend with very little notice. She was very thorough in making sure everyone was up to date on vaccinations (even helped me find a goof by one of my vets). She had a lovely secure yard and was very skilled and dog centered in her care of my little guys. They were happy and rested when I picked them up. Overall, a great experience”
“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”
“Charity and Ray were fantastic. We are so happy we found two dog lovers so close to us. They are extremely communicative, thoughtful, and gave Charlee lots of walks and attention. Charlee isn't the easiest dog to care for but they didn't mind for a second. There's nothing better than having someone you know is taking great care of your fur-friend while you are away, and Charity and Ray gave that to us.”
“I left my pup Akasha for 2 nights of boarding and she was in the best hands with Elthea, Joshua and their pack! They had great communication and sent lots of updates. Genuine dog people/lovers. Highly recommend!!”
“Christina did a great job with our pup. She was extremely communicative and allowed my girlfriend and I to enjoy a day trip to the caverns/Guadalupe mountains with ease of mind.”
