“We had never left our pup with a “sitter” until we had to leave for a week to a place where we couldn’t take her. Sarah is the most amazing dog lover!!! Molly was so happy with her!! Sarah sent pictures regularly and Molly was more spoiled there than at home! We will never take her back to a kennel and every time, we can’t take her, she will be with Sarah!! It was so nice not to have to worry about her while we travelled!!”
“Rebooked again with Isabel. She does a wonderful job taking care of Lola. She keeps us updated and sends pictures. We will continue to trust Isabel with boarding. Thank you Isabel for providing us with a worry free getaway.”
“He was so amazing he was super nice to knox all his other dogs where so nice glad knox had someone to play with. He even had a puppy pool for the hot day and knox loves water so that was awesome. Really amazing service would definitely use again”
“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”
“Morgan and her family were great with our Bruno! We appreciated that she allowed a pre visit prior to booking. Morgan was patient with Bruno and kept us updated on his stay through text messages and photos. We absolutely recommend Morgan and would use her again in the future.”
“It was my first time leaving baby behind and like always I was having jitters. He was really good at making me feel more comfortable of the idea of me leaving her. He even invited me in, to see where my baby was going to stay and I could tell at first glance that it was a very dog friendly home. He kept me updated with pictures and info on how my dog was doing. I would 100% recommend him to everyone. I for sure will be a repeat customer.”
“We had such a good experience with our dog sitter. She took amazing care of our babies, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can truly tell she loves what she does. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely rebook with her I would recommend her!”
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.
“She was amazing. Took Colt in as one of her own and made sure he got his exercise and play time. Went above and beyond with that, so grateful. When we came to pick him up he was excited to see us but also still wanted to play with her. Colt made new friends for sure!”
“The care from Gabriela for my pugs was excellent. She would send me pictures and keep me informed by a text. Her home provided a back yard which I find very much needed for my pugs to be able to run around and of course, take care of potty business.”
“Natalie is great. We’ve used her a couple of times and would highly recommend her. Our dogs get a lot of attention and we get daily updates on how they’re doing.”
“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.”

About: Hi! My name is Andrea, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with texperience caring for many different kinds of pets. I currently have two dogs and three cats of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life and have spent several years pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just hanging out, I always make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m experienced in administering different types of medications to cats and understand the patience and gentle approach it takes to make the process as stress-free as possible for our furry friends. I’m also happy to follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet receives the attention they need. I’m currently a masters student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I know it can be super hard to be away from those we love and that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, so I’m committed to following your instructions carefully to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cats and the garden. The cats are happy and the garden looks great! Also, thank you for the extra above and beyond cleaning of the cat area.”
“Ren is a fabulous sitter. Sassy is asking if he can live with us. He was so patient with her in allowing her to do her favorite thing, which is cuddle. He has a natural connection with pets. They sense his kindness. He was organized in preparing for the week and even brought Sassy samples of the cat toys that he makes with cat nip. He communicated daily about Sassy's status with super cute photos. He created new play opportunities for her with his catnip toys and the new paper bag! I came home to a super clean house! Thank you Ren!”
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.
“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.”
About: Growing up with pets instilled a love for all animals. I adopted my first cat 21 years ago and loved her-she was family. We now have a multi cat and dog house and would love to help take care of your family fur-babies!
About: "With years of experience caring for a variety of animals, I'm a responsible and compassionate pre-vet student eager to provide top-notch pet sitting services. From dogs and cats to birds and reptiles, I'm comfortable with animals of all shapes and sizes. Trust me to give your furry, scaly, or feathered friend the love and attention they deserve while you're away." I am available most days let me know your schedule and I will try and work on a solution for both of us. I have class from 9am- 12pm but I am able to work before or after class. I have many pets, no pet is to small or to big. I have worked with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds, and I am willing to care for any pet you call family.
“Rachel is sweet and so kind to the pets. I felt very comfortable going out of town knowing she would come check in on my cats. Excellent first experience with the app and Rachel’s services.”
About: I’ve gained hands on experience working with cats in a veterinary clinic, where I assist with handling, monitoring, and daily care. I regularly work with cats of all temperaments from friendly and social to shy or more sensitive cats that need a calm, patient approach. I also help care for boarding cats at the clinic, where I’m responsible for maintaining their routines, keeping their spaces clean, monitoring their behavior, and ensuring medications are administered accurately and on schedule. This has given me strong experience working with cats in both medical and boarding environments, especially those who may be stressed or away from home. Outside of the clinic, I focus on creating a comfortable, low-stress environment where cats can feel safe and stick to their normal routines.
About: In 2020 I adopted my void kitty, Momo and have always lived with a minimum of one cat in my household ever since, whether they belonged to roomies or friends who couldn’t have pets. Every cat has his or her own personality and routine, and I understand the importance of having someone detail-oriented and understanding to care for pets.
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!
About: Experienced in taking care of ill and healthy dogs, they are like children to me. I seem to have a knack for homeless dogs, they trust me, they come to me - they know when someone means well. I have never found a dog that I was afraid of. Very experienced at administering medication. I work part-time and schedule myself so if I have reservations for Rover I can work around my other schedule. I am available days, early evenings and weekends. Currently have a dog with cancer, I show dogs lots of love, hugs, playtime to make their life as special as possible when they are with me. I am very experienced at administering medication.

Perfect for high energy dogs - La Mesa
“My little dog,Joy, stayed for daycare with Sarah for the first time a few days ago. Finding Sarah was such a blessing! Joy, who is very afraid of change and strangers, was so happy when I picked her up at the end of the day. She had played with the other little dogs and cuddled with Sarah. Sarah is very caring and knowledgeable about the needs of dogs. I am so grateful and look forward to entrusting Hoy lto Sarah‘s care in the future for sure!”
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.
“Marissa was wonderful with our little Lolita! She was able to care for lolita with only a few hours noticed. Will definitely recommend her to care for your pets. I appreciate your patience with lolita’s anxiety! Loved the pics!”

About: Going to college to become a Veterinarian to run my own clinic. Studying Animal Sciences and Rangelands. Have always owned Dogs or pets. Believes animals are better than being around people.

“Jasmine cared for my two senior dogs for a few hours while I had work meetings in Las Cruces. She was quick to respond to my request for care and easy to contact and communicate with. She is kind and was fully tuned in to the dogs. Sent me photos shortly after I left showing the dogs settled in. The dogs were clearly comfortable and not stressed at all when I picked them up. I highly recommend Jasmine and would request her again!”

“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’m available pretty much always, I’m taking the summer to rest as I am a very busy college student but I need something to keep me busy.

About: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.

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*

Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.
About: Hi! I’m currently in school studying veterinary care, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been surrounded by pets since the day I was born—from dogs and cats to small animals—and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends and family members, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With my background in animal care and my education in veterinary studies, you can feel confident your pet is in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. I know how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I genuinely love and prioritize in my free time. I’m available for early morning and evening visits during the weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Even with a busy schedule, I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time or feeding, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. When caring for pets, I always follow their specific routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I make sure they get the exercise they need with safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and comfort. I also stick closely to their feeding schedule, ensuring they get the right food, portions, and any treats or medications they may need. When pet sitting or checking in, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone or anxious. For cats, I make sure their litter is clean, their food and water are fresh, and they have a calm environment to relax in. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
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: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
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 have a lot of experience with large dogs and cats as I have 7 dogs and 2 cats myself. I also have experience with farm animals if needed! Back home, I would take out my dogs in the morning and let them play for atleast an hour. By midday, I would take them outside again and then bring them inside to play or sleep. By 6pm, everyone’s fed and playing until 8, which is bedtime. If needed, they get showers if they are dirty every other week, Safety-wise, I make sure their backyard is secure whil outside. Inside, I make sure they atleast have a crate our are in a clean area. I trust all my animals as I would a sibling such as animals are family members as much as pets.
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: 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!
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the course of quite a few years. I truly enjoy doing so. I love getting to see their different personalities and giving them that extra love while their people are away. I had my own dog as well for a few years. Fun fact: we shared the same birthday too! He was really my best friend. At the current moment my availability is fairly open throughout the week and anytime. I am open to mostly any hours currently. Book with me! I will make sure they are taken on walks, given some extra love, feed them, and play with them. They will be well taken care of with me.

“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for my pups. She provided consistent photos and videos of my babies having fun on her land getting along with her pups too. I will definitely have my pups stay with Caitlin again with 100% trust that she will care for them as if they were her own.”
“It was my first time leaving baby behind and like always I was having jitters. He was really good at making me feel more comfortable of the idea of me leaving her. He even invited me in, to see where my baby was going to stay and I could tell at first glance that it was a very dog friendly home. He kept me updated with pictures and info on how my dog was doing. I would 100% recommend him to everyone. I for sure will be a repeat customer.”
“We had such a good experience with our dog sitter. She took amazing care of our babies, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can truly tell she loves what she does. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely rebook with her I would recommend her!”
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.
“She was amazing. Took Colt in as one of her own and made sure he got his exercise and play time. Went above and beyond with that, so grateful. When we came to pick him up he was excited to see us but also still wanted to play with her. Colt made new friends for sure!”
“Natalie is great. We’ve used her a couple of times and would highly recommend her. Our dogs get a lot of attention and we get daily updates on how they’re doing.”
“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.”

“One of the best sitters in El Paso!! Jasmine and her family made it as easy as possible to be away from my Bailey. Updates were as often as I needed. Thank you so much to Jasmine and her family for taking care of my girl!”
About: We have been our class's unofficial pet sitters, pet-sitting 4 cats and 4 dogs over the past year. Each pet gets the best treatment, early/late walks to avoid the El Paso sun, tons of play time and cuddles, and reliable care and updates! We are reliably in town over weekends (we love staying in El Paso!). On weekdays, we are usually home at 5:30pm to hang out with and care for your pet. In our home, we have no kids or pets, no sharp objects laying around, and are very neat so nothing bad can be found and eaten by accident!
“Kris and her husband were phenomenal! We had our dog at our wedding, and they were so flexible about picking him up from the venue. He only stayed for one night, but he came back so happy and relaxed. They also did an amazing job keeping up with his medication schedule. If we ever need pet care services in El Paso again, we’ll definitely book with them!”
About: I grew up wanting to be a vet but decided adopting and playing with all the dogs and animals would be better. I love all animals and have 2 rescue dogs of my own.

I am looking forward to meeting your pet and treating them with as much love and attention as if they were my own. Please reach out if you have any questions. I am currently working on certifications and am available any time during the day and week to help with your pets and can provide car that fits your needs. I can make myself available for their needs. I have 2 rescue dogs myself and understand that some dogs are more timid than others. I know the most important thing is gaining your pet's trust.
“Kathryn made us feel so at ease leaving our dog in her care. Her love for dogs is clear, and we loved that she has a big yard where all the pups can run and play. It was reassuring that our pup could roam freely and feel right at home, plus she gave him treats! She kept us updated daily with photos and has two very friendly dogs. Highly recommend!”
