I could see they worked hard to be kind to all the animals and the people who owned them. They sent pictures and comments so I knew he was relaxed in their home. I felt much more relaxed about leaving him if necessary, knowing I have them as a backup.”
“Brian was nothing short of amazing. Our little golden retriever Grace is very submissive and had recently gotten hurt at the dog park. She had 5 staples that needed to be watched carefully. Brian made sure she was taken care of, kept safe from dominant dogs, and her staples were protected. He sent lots of great photos and videos that made us feel very assured that while we were in Mexico, our baby was safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!!”

Our dog is so hard to feed because he has specific ways on how he likes to be fed but she was able to find a way so he will eat while we are away.

About: I have loved cats since my childhood and have several of my own. I have cared for cats of all ages and sizes, the youngest being 2 weeks old and the oldest being 23 years old. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with responsibilities such as administering medications, special diets, sub-q fluids, etc.
About: Hello, my name is Leevi. Since I was young, I have always been the one taking care of the family pets. I love all animals, and taking care of them. I have leashed and behaviorally trained multiple dogs for friends and family, as well as served as the designated animal watcher for both cats and dogs for friends and family. I have also raised multiple jumping spiders and lizards. I care about the needs of all animals; seeing them happy makes me happy. I work full-time from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with Wednesdays and Thursdays off. Despite my evening work schedule, I maintain an active lifestyle and enjoy staying productive throughout the day. As soon as I wake up, I am usually on the move, whether I am exercising, running errands, handling personal responsibilities, or spending time outdoors. I value making the most of my mornings and early afternoons before beginning my shift. I will care for your fur baby with the same patience, attention, and affection I have always given my own pets—as a valued member of the family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, and I am committed to providing dependable, compassionate care that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you are away. I have hands-on experience training and caring for several of my family’s dogs. My experience includes leash training, reinforcing positive behaviors, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, and providing regular walks and playtime. I am comfortable following specific care instructions and adapting to each dog’s energy level, temperament, and daily routine. I am also attentive to the ways dogs communicate their needs. Whether a dog is feeling stressed, hungry, excited, tired, overheated, or simply in need of reassurance, I recognize the importance of observing their body language and behavior closely. I prioritize safe walks, hydration, a calm environment, and plenty of positive interaction to ensure each dog receives the care and attention they deserve.
“Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our cats were well taken care of as well as helping my wife with some tech issues! Super communicative and sent pictures, would absolutely recommend her and will be booking again in the future!”
About: I have experience with everything from fiesty kittens up to grumpy old cats. I enjoy getting to know cats as each cat has their own personality and preferences. Recently, I have been helping a 21 year old cat, and with regular brushing and social interaction, he has really improved his own grooming and behavior.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I have experience with both energetic dogs and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a slower pace with extra attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own by providing plenty of affection, supervision, fresh water, exercise, and updates while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer oral medications if needed, reinforce basic training routines, and accommodate any special instructions so your pet receives the care they’re used to at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and sitting while maintaining a reliable routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort by treating every pet like my own. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, keep pets supervised, provide a clean environment, and make sure they receive attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to help them feel secure while you’re away.
“Lily was the perfect pet sitter for us! Not only did she take amazing care of my cat (including administering daily oral medication), but she also was able to be flexible as we had a family emergency come up. I would highly recommend Lily for anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Laura is the absolute best kitty sitter we could have ever dreamed of. She is so kind and loving with our three babies, and absolutely spoils them with cuddles, play time, and her genuine love for them. We receive colorful, detailed notes and lots of pictures so we can have the reassurance that our kitties are happy and so well cared for. They adore her as much as we do. Laura is the absolute best! 😻”

About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life, and I know first hand what it takes to care for them. I’ve regularly cleaned litter boxes, played with our cats, and taken them to the vet. When we’ve gone on vacation ourselves, we’ve used cat sitters, and I’ve seen first hand the report they’ve left. I know what it takes to care for cats, and I have immense love in my heart for our feline friends.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life, and caring for them has always felt natural to me. I’ve worked with cats of all ages and personalities—from energetic kittens to shy, senior, or special-needs cats. I also spent two years as a veterinary assistant, which provided me with hands-on experience in feline health, behavior, and handling. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, litter box care, grooming, and administering medications when needed. Your cat will be cared for with patience, understanding, and plenty of love.
About: Volunteered at a vet clinic & pet sat for friends and family & discovered the joy of comforting pets when they're feeling anxious and home sick. I am pursuing a master's in computer science at UNM, and my schedule can be flexible. I will be home for the most part, but if I ever need to step away it's only for a couple hours. My boyfriend and I work as a team in caring for our dogs, and we do the same for our clients. It's normal for your pet to feel homesick, so we do our best to make them feel like they are at home and give them the quality time and affection they are used to from their loved ones ❤️ Baxter is 9 yo pit mix & Chiqui is an 8 yo Pomeranian/chihuahu. We have a small fenced yard and a kennel that Baxter uses for whenever we have to leave the house to run errands. Our dogs sleep in their beds upstairs in our bedroom, and we set up your pet's bed next to us as well. We typically ask clients to bring their pet's bed or crate/kennel and a blanket or toy they like to cuddle with to remind them of home 🤍 If you could also pack their food, food bowl, and leash for their stay, that would be great! 🐾

I definitely will be using her services again, my dog came home super tired and looked so happy throughout the day! Thank you Melissa!”
“Josie, her husband, and Paco took great care of my Pip while we were vacationing in ABQ. Having Pip go over to her house allowed us to get some hikes, bike rides, and brunches in without having to worry is our young, energetic dog was being destructive or bored at the Airbnb. Highly recommend, and will definitely request Josie again when we return.”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
“Toast had the best day at daycare with Kathy and the crew! She took the time to make my slow to warm up pup feel right at home. I really appreciated the pupdates thought out the day and the fact she got to go out on a hike (a favorite activity of hers).

I’m so glad to have found Lisa and know that there’s someone really good in the New Rochelle Mamaroneck area”

“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”

About: I have loves dogs for as long as I can remember. I have three dogs of my own, and have a lot of experience of dog breeding and taking care of their puppies who have all gone to nice homes. I love the animals with all my heart is my dream to become a vet ever, since I was little. I also have a bird who is living a long nice life, taking care of her has shown me how to stick to a schedule and to watch out for any hidden details, since birds hide their sickness well, because of that it has also helped me identify if anything is wrong with my dogs. We have Paisley (9), Olly or Oliver (6), and Pepper (3). They are all extremely kind and do great with other dogs. They are Cavalier, King Charles spaniels. Paisley has had 3 litters and Pepper 2. Because of their litters I have experience delivering the puppies and taking care of them until they go to their new home, if you want to see if this is true, you can go to my moms website “Turners Cavilers” on Facebook and you’ll be able to see the lil’ cuties! I work right now at a pet food place and work Tuesdays-Sunday. I work 9:30-6:30 On Tuesday-Friday and then 9:30-4 on Saturday and then 10:30-3:00 on Sundays. Granted, I will have other days off From Monday but it always changes. So just texting and communicating! My shedule can be flexible, I'm good at communication. How I care for my pets is we have a water bowl inside and out, we feed them at very specific times to avoid them gaining to much weight and take them on occasional walks, the backyard is fenced with green grass (besides a patch of dead grass where the dogs have made a path) there’s is plenty of shade in the backyard if your dog tends to get warm easily, but most of the time we keep our dogs inside and have a huge dog bed for all three of them. If your pet requires it we do have dog bowls and I can keep out for your pet. We also have crates if this is something that you want for your pet if I ever offer overnight stay. Our three dogs are extremely playful and friendly and enjoy meeting other dogs. We also have our own grooming station in our garage that we use for our own dogs.

“We are grateful we found Doug to care for our Ruby. He took her on daily walks and provided us with frequent updates and pictures. He even took her on a hike to the Sandias! It was as if she went on a vacation too! He was also very flexible with scheduling which we so appreciated. Thanks again!”
“Marlena was such a fantastic sitter for our Pup. She has a loving home and family and welcomed our dog bob in right away. We got lots of wonderful photos and updates and our dog was hardly interested in coming home when we picked her up.”
“Blue loves spending time at Melissa’s. Knowing Blue is being well taken care of and having fun while we’re out of town is such a relief. Thank you, Melissa.”
“Michael is the greatest. He has really been wonderful keeping my pup happy. I receive texts and pictures everyday and he always updates me on how my dog is doing. I highly recommend Michael as a sitter. My dog took to him right away that's just the kind of person he is.”
“Joshua's in-home sitting for our two dogs was great! He has an obvious talent for working with and training dogs, even stubborn ones. Our dogs were well-kept, and enjoyed playing with his German Shepherd in his large backyard. All went well and our dogs are better behaved for their 5 days with Joshua. We highly recommend him!”
“Savannah was great with my Charli. Daily photos were sent to update me. My pooch is still a puppy and Savannah was patient, understanding and even taught Charli how to go up stairs. ?”
“Maellen took wonderful care of our pup. She kept us updated every with pictures and even videos, accommodated all of Chula's needs, and played with her and took her for walks. We couldn't have asked for a better or more understanding person to take care of Chula.”
“Cecilia is a very good sitter. She knows how to take care of dogs. Our dog is so hard to feed because he has specific ways on how he likes to be fed but she was able to find a way so he will eat while we are away. She is very good and her place is very cozy and clean. Yuki had a good stay and was really well taken care of. We have peace of mind while we were out on a vacation.”
“We love Crystal! Our three dogs are always so happy to see Crystal, her husband and their two dogs when they go over. Always makes us so happy when our dogs are so happy to be back at Crystal’s house. We always get updates and cute stories, photos, or videos that we appreciate. Crystal is so conscientious and ensures your dog’s well being, safety, and happiness when your pups stay with her! She’s become a regular sitter for us and we feel so lucky!”
“Ashleigh and her family were great with my two dogs. It had been awhile since I boarded them and she made them feel right at home and sent pictures of them and sent updates frequently during their stay and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. My return trip was delayed and she was accommodating and flexible with the pickup time. I’ll definitely rebook with Ashleigh for future trips!”
“Lauren was great! As someone with hyper dogs, I super happy that Lauren was able to take them to the dog park and on walks to get their zoomies out. I could tell my pups felt right at home with her. 10/10”
