“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!!!!”

“We cannot offer enough thanks and appreciation for the care our 2 Cairn Terriers received from Amanda and family for a 3 week boarding stay. We received daily photos and updates. Amanda was kind, generous and very attentive to the nuances and personalities of both of our dogs. We highly recommend Amanda and will no doubt have her board our dogs again in the near future.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Dawn once again took great care of our dog, Sevi, while we were visiting Santa Fe a second time. Sevi is a sensitive shepherd mix, and she gave Dawn a thumbs up! Dawn was communicative and responsible.”

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.

“Patricia, her husband Sam are ideal dog sitters. They offer 100% dog sense, a yard that our border collie, Olli, could run around in and enjoy, and friends for Olli - Gila and Amber - two lovely dogs. Olli was taken for a run and allowed to sleep where he wanted. (important to us because he roams at night) Their home is calm and relaxed and dog friendly! Worth the trip from Santa Fe to their home near Pojoaque.”

“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%”

“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.”

About: Since I was about 7 years old I have been taking care of dogs of different breeds,I love animals so much and always have loved them! I would love to take care of your furry babies. I also have trained my small dogs under 10 lbs to use the puppy pad and different little tricks! 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 have taken care of my own and Neighbors cats for about two years. I find it important that a cat always has a clean litter box and thier personal boundaries understood.

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: 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. 🐱🤍

“Sitter flexible and caring.”

“Dawn was an incredible sitter. She made my normally anxious German Shepherd feel at ease and gave her a wonderful experience playing with other dogs. Would absolutely book her again.”

“We felt super comfortable leaving our pup with Lily. It was his first time being away from us on a cross country journey, and I could tell when we picked him up that he had been loved and happy the whole time.”

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!

“Lynn was great. She met us at the Abiquiu Inn before we did the Georgia O'Keeffe tour, to pick up the dogs for about 4 hrs. While she had the dogs, she sent photos and videos of the dogs playing and enjoying themselves.”

About: I have experience taking care of my own and Neighbors dogs, as well as experience volunteering in animal shelters where I handled dogs of all ages. I am currently a student who goes to classes 2 times a week, my schedule is very flexible and taking care of pets fits into it perfectly. I provide overnight stays/check ins/dog walking. For all of these services I listen carefully to needs of the pet I am taking care of and the directions of the client on how to.

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.
