“I highly recommend Lynn C. and would leave my pup with her anytime. My dog is very shy and sensitive so finding the right fit is essential. Lynn C boarded him over the weekend and she totally understands animals. I felt at ease knowing he was in good hands with photo updates and great communication. Thank you!!!!”

About: I grew up around lots of animals (cats, dogs, chickens, goats, reptiles), and I now have a lovely cat of my own named Julian. I absolutely love getting to spend time with other people’s pets. At this point in my life, I’d say I’m very much both a dog-person and a cat-person. I go on walks every day before or after work, and during my lunch break. Walking a dog would fit naturally into that routine. I’m willing to wake up early in the morning if needed, and if the client lives in Santa Fe, I would have the capacity to visit the dog or cat during my midday break from work as well. If the client lives outside of Santa Fe, I’m still available every evening for walks, feeding, and giving the dog/cat attention and human contact. I’m typically able to stay overnight at a client’s home any night of the week if needed. I treat pets with care, respect, and attentiveness. I’m a clean and tidy houseguest, and will respect the client’s privacy and boundaries. Whether you need me to take your dog for a walk, stop by once or twice a day to feed your cat, or stay overnight to keep your pet(s) company, I will be professional, responsible, and caring towards your pets. I’m happy to answer further questions, so please feel free to contact me anytime.

About: Kayla is our 2-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves dogs! We want to help her grow up learning how to be gentle, kind, and responsible when caring for pets. Of course, we’ll be right there with her every step of the way, teaching and helping her along the way. Daily Care Routine We follow a flexible, rotational care schedule so each pet gets individual attention and plenty of opportunities to go outside. Morning: First thing in the morning, we take each pet outside one at a time for a bathroom break and some fresh air. Once everyone has had their turn, they come inside for breakfast. Indoor Time: After breakfast, pets are able to relax and enjoy time indoors in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. They have access to toys and a TV for entertainment, along with plenty of attention and interaction throughout the day. Potty Breaks: Every couple of hours, we rotate through the pets and take them outside individually for another potty break. We continue this routine throughout the day, adjusting it based on each pet’s needs. Because we work from home and are here throughout the day, we’re very flexible. We can give pets extra potty breaks, attention, playtime, or quiet time as needed. Our goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on a routine that feels as close to home as possible. A Comfortable Home Away From Home Our kennel is designed to feel less like a traditional kennel and more like a comfortable home away from home. We have three individual kennels, each equipped with a cozy dog bed so every guest has their own comfortable space to rest. For our longer-term guests, we also have a dedicated doggy bath to help keep them clean and comfortable during their stay. During the day, pets can enjoy time indoors in our climate-controlled space, complete with a TV for entertainment and plenty of toys and attention. When it’s time to stretch their legs or take a potty break, they have access to our fenced yard where they can safely get some fresh air and movement. At night, we use a sound machine to create a calm, peaceful environment and help everyone settle in for a restful night. Because we’re home throughout the day, we’re able to give each guest individual attention and adjust their routine to fit their needs. We want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with us.

“I can't tell you how much more we enjoyed our vacation knowing that Shilo was being taken care of so well. And to receive random text pictures of his activities just melted our hearts. A+ and would definitely use again.”

Shannon S.

“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.”

Patricia D.

“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%”

Paula G.

“We were lucky to find Lily when our regular sitter was unavailable. When we picked Tyson up I think he would gladly have stayed longer. We would be very comfortable booking with Lily again.”

I am currently working part time and soon will be going to college but I am available to take care of your furry babies after 5 pm Monday through Friday! I would have plenty of time to make sure your furry babies feel welcomed and happy! I have a fenced yard in my backyard where your pet can run free, I also do have two other friendly dogs that will give your pet great company and make them feel very welcomed!

“I hired Britt for a drop-in visit for my two cats, and it was such a relief knowing he was checking on them. He made sure they were okay and had plenty of food and water. The photos he sent gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely recommend him.”

About: I am a stay at home pet mom, and an active human grandma. I can take care of all kinds of animals. I have experience with cats and dogs in every stage of life. I've had pets of all kinds since childhood . I will treat your pet like my own. My pooch is very spoiled! I am a stay at home Morkie mom.

I can come to your home and take care of your pet according to thier individual needs. I will walk your pet and/or we can play fetch, tug, or whatever fun activities your pet loves.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, and I’ve had the sweetest cat of my own, Chunky Milk. He had such a big personality and definitely kept me entertained! Living with him taught me that every cat has their own unique personality, routines, and little quirks. I understand that some cats are playful and social, while others need a little more time and space to warm up. I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat wants playtime, attention, a cozy companion, or simply someone to keep their routine on track, I’d love to give them the same love and care I gave my own Chunky Milk. 🐱🤍

About: I've always loved cats and always had a specific rapport with them. We connect and they often easily approach me without reserve. Im fascinated by their ways, catering to the royalty they are. I am here to serve and understand the misunderstood.

About: Over the years, I have cared for cats with varying personalities and medical needs. I am comfortable administering both liquid and pill medications. If your cat is social, I am happy to interact and play. If your cat prefers to be alone, I am comfortable cozying up with a book and just being present.

“Chris had a large yard, plenty of playroom and a peaceful environment. He had eight dogs that day but all got along very well.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life including Great Danes, cats, bunnies, gerbils, fish and have been dog and cat sitting professionally for 5 years. Recently I lived and worked on a thousand-acre farm caring for cows, horses and goats, doing everything from feeding, cleaning and even bottle feeding. Bottom line is I love pets, and would love to meet your four-legged family members!! I currently work from my computer so I am very mobile and happy to be flexible with scheduling, etc. I love spending time with all animals so I make it a priority to fit this kind of work in. *If you have multiple pets and my site is quoting a large number for your sitting request, please know I am happy to look closer and find a good price for all! If I am giving care at your home my number one priority is your animal’s safety. That’s best implemented by focusing on your (the owner’s) rules and daily routines. Once I establish that, I focus on creating a special bond with your pet—it’s like they’re getting a new friend. If I’m boarding at my house my number one priority is to create a new and special routine that reflects their home routine but with new special elements. I have a very large yard and a safe neighborhood to take pets on walks, and as long as they are happy sharing space with a cat we have a really good time!

About: I’ve taken care of my family friend’s dog for 7 years and have experience feeding, walking, playing with, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, dependable, and enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available all day on Sundays and Mondays. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I enjoy spending time with dogs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs that can provide companionship if your pet is comfortable around other animals. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making pets feel comfortable in a new environment. I will follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. If needed, I can also crate your dog to ensure they are safe and comfortable

About: I have experience with all animals - farm animals, aquatic animals, dogs, cats, feral animals too. I love goats and miss my farm. I can't have animals of my own at this time and just looking for a rewarding side hustle. I find healing in the presence of animals. I'm currently available seven days a weeks - flexible and reliable. I recently have been laid off from my regular employer. I am looking for an easygoing rewarding solution. Animals could provide so much more to me than an income. Especially at this time in my life. Transition is hard but Im determined. I ensure safety and routine for your pet. I will do everything I can to ensure they are well cared for and safe in your environment or mine.

About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and client reviews, and check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that your dog and I will have on a daily basis. I send tons of pictures and videos. Headed out of town?? I’d love to create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Your dog(s) can 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. If you prefer your dog to have the familiarity of your home, let’s chat about housesitting. Guaranteed fun either way. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a 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 dog pack needs. Our routine is generally morning food, walk, park, play, chill, and then repeat in the evening. I work from home so I am flexible and can accommodate most needs for your pets. 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 had a special love for animals and the outdoors. I grew up surrounded by pets and have had multiple pups throughout my life, including my two sweet Border Collies, Meko and Oppie. They brought so much joy and personality into my life, and caring for them taught me how much love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. I also have a background as a wilderness guide, so being outside and exploring nature is a huge part of who I am. I know how much dogs love getting outside, sniffing around, going on adventures, and simply enjoying the fresh air—and I’d love to give your pup that same experience! Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for weeks at a time, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility of caring for a pet while their person is away. I’m attentive to their routines, personalities, and individual needs, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a friendly, easygoing spirit that animals seem to pick up on right away. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a long walk, some playtime, or simply a cozy companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be there for them. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I love being outdoors, staying active, and having animals by my side. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m also perfectly happy spending a quiet day at home keeping your pet company. My goal is to make pet care feel seamless for both you and your pet, while keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, their routine, and any special instructions you leave for me. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously and will always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. As a wilderness guide, I’m comfortable being responsible in changing environments and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m also a big believer in clear communication, so I’ll keep you updated and let you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾
