“Finding Sarah has been very lucky for us and for our dog, Winnie. We spend time here to get out of the northern winter where we live. Knowing Winnie was loved and well cared for with Sarah gave us more freedom to explore and enjoy the area. We plan to be back again and enjoy Sarah’s dog care again. 😊”
“Megan is an amazing dog sitter. My dogs receive so much attention during their stay, with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. It’s clear they are well cared for and genuinely loved while they’re there. Megan and her children are incredibly kind, and my dogs absolutely love spending time with them. I always feel at ease knowing my dogs are in such a warm and caring environment. Highly recommend.”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
“Anna was so good to our 2 fur babies. She sent photos of them playing and kept me informed of how they were doing. Our Nova made a friend with one of her dogs too. Would recommend her to others and would love to be able to take a babies back to her.”
“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: 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.
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.
“Jennifer watched our two girls for two weeks and was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job of providing updates, including photos and videos. She even dressed them for the 4th of July and was prepared with PB stuffed bones for the fireworks. Will definitely be bringing our girls back to stay with Jenn again!”
“Louisa was great with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with someone and everything went well. She was very accommodating to our schedule. We are so grateful for her support.”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
“We had a great experience! Thank you for taking such loving and attentive care of Winter. I really appreciated the frequent updates. Winter looked happy and comfortable when I picked him up. Would absolutely book again — highly recommend!”

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. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
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!
“Erika and family always show so much love to our dogs. We appreciate her being flexible with drop offs and pick up. Whenever we are out of town she is our go-to. Highly recommend!”

“Pam and Kathryn were excellent sitters and very professional. They were timely and did exactly what we asked. It was such a relief to have them to check in on and play with our cats while we were away.”
“Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.”
“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!”
“Diana and Mark are our go-to dog sitters, and we couldn’t be happier with their services. We regularly use them, and our pups just love them. They take exceptional care of our pups, providing us with peace of mind because we know they are in caring hands. Highly recommend Diana and Mark! I can’t say enough great things about them!”
“Jennifer is the greatest pet sitter ever. She loves my kitties just as much as I do. She is very responsible and respectful. I had no worries at all the week that I was gone. I new Jennifer was there to take care of them. I will book Jennifer’ whenever I need a pet sitter.”
“Kellie did a great job! She updated us every day about our cat. The cat can be a little difficult when it comes to taking her meds but she was able to give it to her every day! Thank you!”
“Tommie came over and stayed with our 14 year old cat, Coopurr and we didn't have to worry about him getting quite so lonely. We appreciated the visits, the updates every day and the photos to see he was doing great. We will definitely be asking Tommie to take care of Coopurr again! I highly recommend her services!”
“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”
About: I've been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. My family always had animals growing up. For a long time, we had 2 dogs and 3 cats. Now I have an old grumpy dog who I take care of with my partner, Jo. Our dog now is a Great Pyrenees and Alaskan Malamute mix. When I lived with my parents, I helped them look after a Swiss Mountain dog and a beagle mix. Before that we had Lab/Rottweiler mix- so I'm pretty good with dogs of all sizes! I've also grown up with all sorts of cats and love them just as much as dogs! I just finished my masters and am taking a break, so my schedule is routinely free! There will certainly be days where I have plans, but be it giving your dogs a potty break or spending the night to take care of some animals, I will most likely be free to do so! I'll be sure to send pictures of your fur-baby throughout the time I'm taking care of them so you know your fluffy buddy is happy, safe, and having a good time.
“Amy Rae is very kind and patient with a nervous “cat mom” (me). She took very good care of my senior kitty who needs a little extra to feel safe. I will continue to book any her any time we need a sitter.”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Jasmine I really hate to ask this but know not what else to do. We missed out flight into El Paso so trying to get a flight out of Dallas but so far no luck can u feed them one now time tonight and I will pay you for this via Rover if that is possible - tell me how much and will pay tonight.”
“Amy did a great job watching our cat. Our cat can be a bit elusive, but Amy made an extra effort to connect with him and make him comfortable. She was also very helpful in offering to take care of plants & bring in package delivery. Daily pictures & texts made us feel comfortable. I would definately recommend Amy.”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my cats over the holidays. The daily photos showed how happy they were, she played with them, and even vacuumed their area without being asked. I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care.”

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.
“Jasmine takes the best care of my Fancy! My dog LOVES going here and jasmine is the absolute best with communication and safety. She also patiently reinforces my puppy's training and manners which is so helpful 😊😊”
“Megan and her adorable children took excellent care of Iggy! He came back happy and pleasantly tired. She is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Makes me feel very happy to know he is in such a caring place.”
“Very pleased with Anna and her care of Loki. Loki was excited to see me, got home and was exhausted which is great since Loki is high energy. He played alot with her two dogs. Anna provided me with a recap of his day and photos! All in all very content. Thank you Anna and see you soon.”

Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.
“Anna was lovely and so helpful when we were in a pinch. She walked and played with our two pups daily, arrived on time, and communicated regularly. Anna also went above and beyond what we asked of her. Super happy with the care she provided.”
“Jessica was fantastic—super responsive and communicated clearly throughout. Our dogs loved their morning walks while we were away, and we’ll absolutely reach out to her again for future trips.”

Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.

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*
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.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! She took good care of my dog and was great with communication and sending me videos of my baby!! Definitely will be booking again!”
About: Since I was in middle school, I was chosen as the neighborhood petsitter due to my responsible nature and love for animals. To be trusted with the care of a loved pet is the most honorable position I can think of and one that I hope to continue here in New Mexico. To keep an animal happy when their owner is away is something I pride myself in. I also have experience in dosing medicine for multiple types of animals. I'm a graduate student and TA at NMSU with flexible class schedules where I would be able to attend to the daily needs of the client's pets. Because I don't work outside of the University, there would seldom be a time that I would be unavailable for pet care needs. I have always adhered to the highest standard of the needs of an animal based on the human owner's desire and interactions with their pet. I am adaptable in a multitude of ways, including the needs of the animal I will be caretaking in their place of comfort instead of a new environment. I have a clean background check and pride myself in creating an atmosphere of trust and dependability.
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 fostering through the pound for the past four years and have had my own animals since birth. I have experience with almost every type of animal and love them all, even spiders! I have been watching my neighbors, friends and families animals since I was ten. I started bottle feeding kittens when I was six and have had a passion for animals since birth. I’m currently waiting to have brain surgery so I can’t have a job where I’ll have to take off. I am currently available any day and all the time! In my own home I have a 7 foot tall fence along the whole perimeter of my backyard. I have experience with crate trained dogs and dogs who are allowed out all the time. I can work with leash trained dogs and friends who are still learning. I have experience with dogs of all training levels and levels of friendliness. I currently have three cats of my own (all who I raised from a few days old) and two foster kittens who are almost a month old! I can accommodate for just about any style of parenting that makes you and your pet the most comfortable!
About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. 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.

“Megan is an amazing dog sitter. My dogs receive so much attention during their stay, with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. It’s clear they are well cared for and genuinely loved while they’re there. Megan and her children are incredibly kind, and my dogs absolutely love spending time with them. I always feel at ease knowing my dogs are in such a warm and caring environment. Highly recommend.”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
“Anna was so good to our 2 fur babies. She sent photos of them playing and kept me informed of how they were doing. Our Nova made a friend with one of her dogs too. Would recommend her to others and would love to be able to take a babies back to her.”
“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: 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.
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.
“Jennifer watched our two girls for two weeks and was absolutely amazing! She did a fantastic job of providing updates, including photos and videos. She even dressed them for the 4th of July and was prepared with PB stuffed bones for the fireworks. Will definitely be bringing our girls back to stay with Jenn again!”
“Louisa was great with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with someone and everything went well. She was very accommodating to our schedule. We are so grateful for her support.”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
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. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
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!
“Erika and family always show so much love to our dogs. We appreciate her being flexible with drop offs and pick up. Whenever we are out of town she is our go-to. Highly recommend!”
“Murissa took care of our Bella for a week. She provided pictures and videos daily. We will book with her next time we need someone to watch our fur baby. We highly recommend her to anyone considering leaving their fur baby with someone.”
“Loui’s stays with Natalie have been the best he has experienced in El Paso so far. She was attentive to his needs and made sure he had time to spend outside, even during the hot weather. Throughout the day, she kept us updated by sending videos and pictures, so we always knew how he was doing. It is evident that Natalie genuinely cares about Loui’s safety and well-being. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we are in El Paso.”
“Such a blessing to have come across Leo's profile. I couldn't be happier to have used his services. Our dogs trusted in him right away, and they enjoyed having his and his wife's undivided attention! Thank you so very much for your flexibility and constant updates. The pictures and videos were so appreciated. You truly put my mind and heart at ease. Racer and Rex know good people and will definitely be visiting again soon. From the bottom of my heart thank you for being so amazing and welcoming!”
