Highly-rated overnight sitters - Mesilla
“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!!”
“Megan did a great job with our retriever. We got nice pics and videos daily letting us know how Tali was doing. I think our pup really enjoyed playing with Megan’s kids also. Highly recommend Megan for boarding or daycare!”

“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.”
“Guillermo (Bill) is terrific! Virtually instant communication, photos everyday, a great home and yard, and most important, loving care. Guinness, our 120# Otterhound, was clearly well cared for and comfortable for a 3 week stay. There is nothing more we could have hope for. We would recommend Guillermo to anyone without reservation. We know Guinness will look forward to his next visit.”
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.
“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.”

“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
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!
“Isabel is truly incredible!!! She sends pictures daily and we can feel her love of our dog when we leave him with her! I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our dog!”
“Erika and her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”

“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!”
“Tommie was great! She was very easy to arrange a meeting time with. I was very happy with her because she actually spent the time with my cats instead of just scooping the litter and leaving. She played with them, put on the kitty TV for them, and sent me loads of pictures. She put me at ease when I was away from my babies for several days.”
“Allison did a great job! She was sweet, kind, and had no problem dealing with my outdoor cats. This was the first time I had to use someone other than friends or family to feed them & the experience went great.”
“This is the second time we have used Pam and Kathryn to watch our kitties. They are the best and we can rest assured knowing our cats are in good hands while we are away!”
“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!”
“Jennifer thank you so much for taking such great care of Finn! We especially enjoyed the pictures you sent everyday - it gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Amy and Eli are so fabulous with my kitties…. There intention is to connect with your pets to let them feel loved… not abandon when you leave town. They keep their word, they check in, and send me photos with each visit! I will always choose Amy and Eli!!!! Thank you!!!”
“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!!”
“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.”

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.
“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!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mesilla
“Sarah was wonderful to work with! I’m from out of town and needed help to watch my dog while I attended a function. Sarah was so communicative. Her yard and home are a wonderfully homey set up and all the dogs she had there when we dropped ours off were happy and playful. Sarah’s son was a greater helper! I wish they lived closer to where we live so we could work with her more. She was a lifesaver! We will be sure to return when we visit again!”
“Diana provided excellent care for our 2 Whippets! My dogs are needy and clingy- and I was worried about how they would adapt. Diana kept them happy and entertained- they were so happy with her! I am extremely pleased and look forward to many future stays. I am confident and secure leaving my precious family members with Diana🥰”

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.
“Sasha is reliable, and prompt. She shared photos to keep my mind at ease and took our Pippin for a much needed park visit! She cuddled with the furbabies and has amazing communication! Sasha is highly recommend for Dogs, and cats- Our elderly cat (on meds) was well cared for.”
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. 😊
“Jasmine was PHENOMENAL with my young energetic blue heeler. She kept me updated with photos and videos and really put my mind at ease. I truly appreciated the approach she took when introducing my dog to her six dogs. She let him come in, sniff the space and meet each dog individually. That is so important and really set up my dog for success during his time with Jasmine. She was so flexible with pick up times and kind. Cannot recommend Jasmine enough!”

“Ren is a delightful and reliable dog sitter! I was away for several week and I had peace of mind knowing my pups we in good hands with Ren. 10 out of 10 recommend Ren and look forward to booking again in the future!”

Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.
“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.”
“Allison is sweet and very kind. We felt comfortable with her and her communications. She followed our instructions for our dog (considerations for the heat, misting her down, checking her food and water, where to take her) and we know Gypsy was well taken care of. Recommend her and we'll book her again when we're back in the area.”
“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: 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 superb! She was very caring and loving with our elderly dog. Also, because she is studying to be a physician, she was an excellent choice in pet sitters to help walk our dog with arthritis and provide him with eye medication. She was very thorough and professional at all times, and very friendly. She always kept her word and arrived early and spent extra time. Our little dog fell in love with her! She asked numerous questions and made sure she provided exactly the care that we were asking her to do for our dog. Her photos and descriptions of each of the walks with our dog were very helpful while we were out of state. This was our first time using Rover. Anna earned an A+ with us! She made us feel very comfortable in our absence. We would definitely use Anna again, and so would our dog Guinness!”
“Jasmine was amazing with my two golden retrievers and their walks! One of my goldens is super stubborn and she was very patient and gentle with her. That same golden has hip dysplasia and she worked with me to get her comfortable on her walks. So glad I found her. Definitely booking again! ?”
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 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: 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’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands.🫶🏼 I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and pets are always welcome inside my home where they’ll be treated like family. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel happy and secure.
About: I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter. I work full-time from home, so I’m here throughout the day and night to care for your pup. My large, secure backyard is always open, giving dogs the freedom to come and go as they please. Access to the backyard is available all day for the dogs and they can freely go in and out as needed. I have a safe and secure home where dogs are allowed on the furniture and in every room of the house. I do not smoke or do any drugs and will ensure the safety, love, and care of your dogs. My home is a quiet, calm, and serene environment.
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 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 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.

“Megan did a great job with our retriever. We got nice pics and videos daily letting us know how Tali was doing. I think our pup really enjoyed playing with Megan’s kids also. Highly recommend Megan for boarding or daycare!”
“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.”
“Guillermo (Bill) is terrific! Virtually instant communication, photos everyday, a great home and yard, and most important, loving care. Guinness, our 120# Otterhound, was clearly well cared for and comfortable for a 3 week stay. There is nothing more we could have hope for. We would recommend Guillermo to anyone without reservation. We know Guinness will look forward to his next visit.”
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.
“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: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and truly love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I’ll provide dependable care and treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in caring and capable hands.🫶🏼 I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get exercise, and pets are always welcome inside my home where they’ll be treated like family. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and will follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel happy and secure.
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
“Louisa is great as usual! Pax loves her and is always excited when he gets to stay with her for a couple of days. She makes sure to walk him and take him to the dog park and takes pictures of everything.”

“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
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 her family were very welcoming! Her daily photos and videos were helpful and gave us reassurance while we were away - plus, it was great to see our dog playing with other dogs. I highly recommend her care.”
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!
“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.”
“Natalie was absolutely wonderful, and it’s very clear how much love she has for the dogs entrusted in her care. Our normal pet sitter was out of town, and we were nervous to leave our dog, Teddy, with someone new. However, we did a meet and greet beforehand, and Natalie was so reassuring and put our worries at ease. She encouraged me to share any details about Teddy’s normal routine, and very receptive to any questions or concerns I had. During Teddy’s stay, Natalie was a great communicator. She sent many photos and videos and gave us updates everyday. She has a great backyard for the dogs, but also made sure the dogs didn’t get overheated in the summer heat which was a big concern of mine. Natalie also had so many new and fun nylon bones for the dogs which Teddy looooooved! Our Teddy also got along so well with her dog, Oreo. They were inseparable during her stay, and played so much together. Overall Teddy had a great time there! I would 100% recommend Natalie to anyone in need of boarding or doggy daycare, and I intend to use her services again in the future.”
