Personalized care for your dog or cat - La Joya

“Stephanie was great with my Poochie. She took care of him as her own. He seemed to be comfortable and at home while being watched, which gave me peace of mind, I will be using her again my next weekend out of town! 🥰”

About: I have a very close connection with animals and pets and I'm not afraid to get down and dirty playing with dogs. I have a very well trained and obedient dog that only knows how to be friendly. I've done all my own training with all the pets I've had and they all have been commended by others for their training. It has been noticed and mentioned countless times that I have a special connection with animals, especially dogs. I use a Camelback stocked with an additional 2 40oz water thermos, collapsible water bowls, clean-up bags, toys, and a first aid kit to keep everyone hydrated, entertained, and safe on walks and hikes. My schedule is flexible to care for your furry babies. I am available most hours of the day and usually able to accommodate new customers and pets. I keep pets leashed anytime they are not inside a house or a fenced in area to keep your loved ones safe and protected. I am careful of what is accessible and safe for any pet to encounter or consume.

About: I’ll be home all day and I don’t mind sending updates and pictures. And we love cuddles.

“Erika was prompt, always posted up to the date pictures so I could see how the cats were doing, and upon my arrival home, I could see that my cats were happy to see me but also calm and well cared for while I was gone. Erika brought a upbeat vibe to her work and it showed”

“Lauren was great! Our cat was very loved and happy, and we are grateful for her visiting her while we were gone!”

About: I know that every cat has different personalities and quirks-- that's why we love them! :) I'm committed to making the cats I take care of feel as safe and happy as possible while you are away. I offer drop-in visits to feed, play with, pet, groom, and take care of any other needs (litter, cleaning bowls, etc). I'm happy to check-in more than once a day if they have a special feeding schedule.

About: I have a passion for high-frequency experiences and environments as well as spreading positive energy wherever I go! Because animals are naturally more connected to existential energies, I find that spending time with them helps keep my frequency high and I can be of better service to the Collective! They have so much to teach us when we tune in... As owner of my previous pet sitting business, daily responsibilities included scheduling client visits, creating/sending invoices, walking/playing with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as other types of interesting creatures, cleaning up after them, feeding them, overhauling litter boxes, occasionally administering medications, and regularly communicating with clients regarding daily visits with their pet(s). When clients were away, I spent the night in their home with their pet(s), took out/brought in trash cans, mail, packages, alternated lights in the home, watered plants, gave the appearance that the home was occupied to increase security, and anything else asked of me within reason. Let me know what you need and we can work together to create a mutually beneficial plan! I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your furry family members! I will stay in your home with your pets where they are comfortable and familiar. All instructions will be followed regarding the safety of your pet(s) and I will be in contact immediately should anything unexpected occur.

About: Hi there, I'm a stay at home mom who has always loved animals. Before having kids I was a groomer and kennel technician. Growing up I always had pets. Dogs, cats, lizards, gerbils, snakes, fish, pigs, horses, birds..i'm probably forgetting a few lol. I was the weird kid, saving every bug or animal around that was in danger. I'm very compassionate and empathetic. I was a very gentle groomer. I'd be happy to take care of your grooming needs as well although I dont have all the equipment..i can trim/dremmel nails, clean ears, sanitary shave, trim around the eyes, bathe and such. I have no problem administering medication. My kids are great with animals as well and love to help out. We have dogs and a cat of our own but your pets are welcome to have a room for themself if they stay over or they can join the pack! If we seem like a good fit for yall, lets chat! We are pretty much always at our home, if not at the park or out running errands. We can work around your schedule, no problem! We live on acreage, although not fenced. Leash walking is not an issue and we can take them to the back of the property to run around as well! We have 4 dogs of our own so we know how to manage a pack.

About: I have owned a dog since I was 5, and cats shorty after. I have always been a huge animal lover and have owned my own dog throughout the years. Currently, I have a 13 year old Boston Terrier/Boxer mix and a 1 year old cat. But my love doesn't stop with them! I love taking care of any furry friend & have for many years. How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? I work from home so I have the ability to tailor my schedule to fit every need! We are home most of the time so our babies are indoor pets! We allow our dog to sit on the couch and sleep in the bed for maximum cuddles! Furry friends with more rules will abide by those (no secret couch sits) but will still receive all the love and attention they need. Walks are given with playtime for the most stimulation.

“Erika was great!! Some dog walkers we’ve had in the past who would walk our guy for 30 minutes would clock in around .70 mile. Erika went over 1 mile each time which is so appreciated! This made my life easier because our dog was clearly more satisfied with his walk. Would highly recommend.”

“Lauren I appreciate your extra efforts that you made with Sadie this past weekend.Thank you for being thoughtful, sweet and dependable ??”

About: I pet sat dogs when I was younger and cats for years. I have more time now and would love to give your babies a lot of attention. 🐶 😺 I currently work from home Sunday, Tues and Thursday, with a LOT of flexibility. I am available overnight 7 days per week with little notice and can adapt to your pets needs. I can care for pets in your home and follow your rules and your pets needs as directed. I'm an adult with a grown kiddo who also loves animals and can give extra attention! ❤️

About: I worked at the Albuquerque BioPark zoo for 5 years taking care of many types of animals. My time there has made me passionate about providing the highest quality animal care and enrichment. I make it my goal to give your pets a stay-cation while you vacation or work! I have worked with dogs and cats of all ages, and also small animals, birds, and barn animals. I am especially good with elder pets and am familiar with their mobility and medication requirements. I currently dog-walk and pet-sit full time so I’ll be able to provide lots of care and attention during the day/evenings. I usually only leave the pets for a few hours at a time and can adjust this to fit your schedule. I usually do not care for pets in my home. I believe that by staying in your home and keeping pets in their usual routines, they thrive the best.
