Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ohkay Owingeh
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ohkay Owingeh
“This was our second time boarding with Amanda and our little pup was excited to be back, wagging her tail the second she saw Amanda. Great to know she enjoys the stay and is well cared for when we are away!”
“Dawn was fantastic. Took care of our little dog with some medical issues no problem. He was anxious at first, but by night two he was settled and happy. No anxiety and was super happy when we picked him up. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Kendall takes SUCH good care of Winston. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pup to be loved and taken care of. I have zero reservations about leaving Winston with her, and truly appreciate all of her help and communication. Will definitely be using for all future overnights.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“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%”
“Katie watched Tilly over Thanksgiving and was outstanding. We got fun pictures daily, and Tilly came home so happy, energized, and excited! She loves going to Katie's and runs into her home as soon as we get there. I highly recommend her.”
“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”
“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.
“Did a phenomenal job of caring for it cats while I moved into a new apartment post-divorce. Sent quite a few picture updates while respecting distance of the cat who likes her space. Would book again 😀”
“Ziggy had a great time with Rachel! He quickly made himself at home and loved cuddling, playing ball, and going on walks with her. Rachel made it easy to coordinate around my travel plans and kept me updated on how Ziggy was doing.”
“Melinda was a fantastic dog sitter for Walter! He immediately felt right at home, even sitting on top of her laundry. She was great with providing us updates and Walter really enjoyed her yard and the other pups she was watching. Would absolutely have her watch Walter again!”
“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!”
“Our dog, Ailyn, had a great time with Jessica and her animals. Ailyn was fascinated with the cats and between them and Clara she had a blast and played hard during her stay.”
“We were so grateful to find Michelle on Rover! Great communication, attention to detail and knowing our geriatric guy was in great hands was wonderful! Highly recommend! Look forward to booking for future boarding. Thank you again!”

About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently have three of my own who mean the world to me. I’ve cared for cats from every walk of life and understand that each one has their own personality, boundaries, and needs. I approach every cat with patience, respect, and a calm energy that helps them feel safe and comfortable. I have hands-on experience caring for cats with medical needs, including closely monitoring a rescued kitten through kidney failure and administering IV treatments. I’m also comfortable giving eye drops and have cared for kittens with eye conditions requiring consistent medication. Whether your cat is playful and social or shy and independent, I take the time to understand their routines, cues, and comfort levels so they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.
About: As a devoted pet sitter with over five years of experience, including a professional background as a veterinary assistant, I bring a heartfelt blend of expertise and genuine love to every pet I care for. I’m passionate about animals, and my extensive experience ensures that your furry friends receive top-notch attention, whether it’s for their daily needs, special care, or in an emergency. I know every pet is unique, and I customize my services to fit their individual personalities and requirements, offering not just care, but also companionship and affection. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can rest easy knowing your pets are in the hands of a seasoned professional who treats them like family. Taking care of pets is my passion, and I love making it a part of my everyday life. I’m here for all the meals, playtimes, and overnight snuggles, ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for around the clock. My Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins and Feedings: Each day starts with saying good morning to your furry friend and making sure they have a hearty breakfast. It's a special moment where we check in and start the day on a positive note. Exercise and Playtime: After breakfast, it's time for some fun! Whether it’s a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or some gentle play indoors, I tailor each session to match your pet’s energy and mood. Regular Breaks: Throughout the day, I make sure your pet has plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, meals, and some downtime. These regular breaks keep their routine predictable and comforting. Overnight Stays: Continuous Care and Companionship: I know some pets need that extra bit of companionship at night, so I offer overnight stays to make sure they never feel lonely. We’ll stick to their usual bedtime routine, creating a peaceful and secure environment for a good night's sleep. Calm and Secure Environment: I’m all about keeping things familiar and comforting, making bedtime a smooth transition with lots of cuddles and reassurance. Flexibility and Dedication: Adaptable Schedule: Life can be unpredictable, and I’m always ready to adjust my schedule to meet the unique needs of your pet. Whether it’s an extra play session or a last-minute overnight stay, I’m here to help. Attentive and Loving Care: Above all, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them all the attention and affection they deserve. With me, your pet is not just cared for—they're cherished. Every meal, every play session, every quiet moment is a chance to show them love and make them feel special. When it comes to caring for pets, I always tailor my approach to the unique needs of each furry friend to ensure their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, I create a welcoming and secure environment with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I stick to a structured routine that includes regular feeding times, exercise, and fun enrichment activities to keep pets both mentally and physically stimulated. For those with special needs or health concerns, I develop personalized care plans and closely monitor their well-being.
“Helen has been very responsive and accommodating with our requests. She handles our puppy as if it was her own. She provides an update and a pic for every visit which is comforting as the dog owner. Thanks Helen!!”
About: I currently have 3 dogs (pitbull, red healer, chihuahua). Professionally worked at a doggie daycare and I just have a very sensitive heart for dogs/cats. I have another gig job ( I deliever for Amazon) so I can be very flexible. I really enjoy the freedoms of making my own schedules. My home sits on a state highway, so I am very vigilant about secure fencing. I do not allow my own dogs to be outside unless I am home.
About: I have been taking care of different types of pets all my life. I have had extensive experience with dogs, cats, lizards, bird, rats, mice, chinchillas, ferrets, etc. All of my pets are very happy at home. My dog has a plethora of toys as does my cat and though the cat will take her toy from you and run away the dog absolutely loves sharing with others. Feel free to ask me about any other animals. I dont mind taking care of any critters when you're away to make sure they are perfectly cared for by a professional. Or even at my house if needed. I'm sure my critters wouldn't mind. Plus I am setting up a reptile room where they will be safe. thanks for your inquiries. :D
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
“Hannah was exceptional with my cat during her first housesitting. I could tell by the photos all was well at home. She kept in contact daily which was reassuring and was very respectful of all of my detailed kitty requests! Thank you Hannah for the kindness shown to Terra and the conscientious care of our home.”
About: I offer gentle, dependable care shaped around each cat’s personality, routine and comfort level. I understand that cats often need patience, consistency and space to build trust. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep litter areas clean, respect each cat’s boundaries and make time for play, affection or quiet companionship based on what they prefer. You’ll receive clear updates and photos while you’re away.
About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.

“Sue was the PERFECT sitter for our pup. She’s sweet, kind, and professional. She’s easy to communicate with and took time for my dog to become comfortable. My dog seemed to love her time there, especially playing with the other sweet dog. We’re so thankful we found Sue to care for our dog.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our little buddy today. We super appreciate you being able to take him last minute while we went on our adventure. Dominic is in great spirits, and we can tell he had a wonderful day with you. Thank you again, and we look forward to reaching out when we are back in Santa Fe.”
“Stephanie and her boys were everything I could have asked for in a pet sitter and Rover experience! 🐶💜 Stephanie was wonderful and knew how to be attentive to my recent rescue and slightly nervous pup, Bella. Bella settled in really quickly and had the best day. I was so happy to see how happy she was when I picked her up at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Stephanie for pet sitting services. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for pet sitting so Bella can have more best days! Thank you so much Stephanie! Bella and I are both so grateful for your standard of care and concern. 💜”
“Michelle was terrific with our Muppet! Very accommodating on our short notice request. Would definitely recommend to others and have her watch our pup again if needed. Thanks Michelle!”
“We are only in Santa Fe for the weekend and Katie was willing to work with us with little notice. She clearly has a great deal of experience, was great at communicating, and our pup felt comfortable with her and her husband right away. Katie sent photos and gave us updates on how things were going throughout the day. Would happily wort with Katie again.”
About: I grew up overseas in a family that seemed to always have at least four dogs at home. My first dog (that truly felt like my own) was Lapsi, a beautiful crossbreed, that followed us home one day and never left. She went on to live with us for 16 years, giving birth to several generations of pups that we took care of and distributed across the Valley into caring family homes. In The States my first dog was not actually mine, but my freshman roommate's chestnut lab that he brought from home and that we both took care of - and now, full circle, my current roommates have 3 dogs! I think that qualifies me as a dog person, even if only by association. Throughout it all, I have learned to love our furry friends in all their variety: to receive love from them, to take care of them, watch over them, and even occasionally take urgent action to protect their well being. Pets have been a big part of my life and I'd love to share this enthusiasm with you. In the end it's a relationship that requires a little bit of nurturing and a whole lot of love. Cheers thanks for considering me! I'm currently in between work so I have ample time to afford your animal. In the heat, I find it's best to walk out side of peak hours - but depending on the naimal I am willing to forage in the midday heat. I have a compound with an animal gate that can provide security for most sizes of animals. It's important that all animals have spaces that are appropriate for them and if not that they can access a space that's suits them on a daily basis.

“This was the second time Patris watched our dog and she was great: friendly, responsive and flexible. Our dog came back happy and tired. We will definitely contact Patris again.”
About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well

I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.

About: Hey y’all! My name is Isabella and I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life and love doing so. I live in Santa Fe near many hiking trails which the dogs love! I currently have an orange tabby named Prince who gets along super well with other dogs and cats and is used to me doing Rover- it’s totally fine if your pet hasn’t been around a cat before but please do not request care if they do not get along with cats:) 🐶WHAT TO BRING: -food and water bowl -food -poop bags (not required but appreciated!) -any toys/bed you feel they’d be comfy with! (Also not required but appreciated) I can care for pets whenever, I have classes throughout the week but since I stay on campus I’m never more than 5 minutes walking distance away from my dorm. On average I have about 3 hours of classes per day mon-fri so I’m home the rest of the time. I will be able to board always and do dog walks any day of the week. I have reliable transportation as well. My dorm is quite large so I have space to take care of pets, as well as toys and food and a litter box for cats if you can’t bring yours. I also live in a very outdoorsy campus so I take dogs on long nature walks.
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!

I may have one on hand if it is a weekly appointment.
About: I have a deep respect for animals, their autonomy and their neediness. I have been a caretaker to many walks of life including children, dogs, cats, rabbits and the elderly, throughout my life. I am devoted to treating all walks of life with love and respect and honoring all pet owners wishes for keeping their pet healthy and safe. I am a student enrolled in online school, so attending to needs is easily added into my daily schedule. I also am a single mother to 1 small child, and already equipped to be caregiving as a full time job! It’s something I love to do. Animals that are child friendly as a must, as well as pet owners. I love to be active and lengthy walks for dogs (or cats) will be a quality experience for me and the animal! I am attentive to the moods of animals and will be able to know if something is wrong. Safety and responsibility are my first modes of conduct.

About: Since I was about 9, I have taken care of, and helped to care for pets. My family and friends have always asked me for help with any of their pet needs, and I am always more than happy to help. I am currently back home from college and I am more than happy to be a dog walker for the summer. I am available most of the week from 10 am to 8 pm. My home is fenced with a wide area of grass and plenty toys! I have yet to stay at a clients home but I will be sure to keep the home clean and pets happy. :)
About: I enjoy caring for and being present with dogs. I am empathetic and always in tune with what others are feeling and need. I would love to hang out with your dogs! I have been around animals my entire life and find myself growing more drawn to caring for them every day. Currently, I do not have a dog of my own so I feel that taking care of your dogs would bring so much joy and fulfillment to my life. I enjoy all types of dogs and personalities and would enjoy getting to know your dogs! I feel others would describe me as patient, balanced, and responsible. Whether I'm just watching your dogs for the day or for an extended period of time you will be able to rest easily because they will be in warm, loving care.
About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always had a deep love for taking care of them. I was born into a family of two dog-loving parents and a yellow lab named Sammy. Since then, we've had a male Lhaso Apso named Tony, a female Chow Chow mix named Ana, and currently a male Wheaten Terrier named Sonny. There has literally never been a moment in my life where I did not own a dog, and since 2010 I have also volunteered at the New Rochelle Humane Society (walking, feeding, and socializing the cats and dogs). I truly know the ins and outs of dog care like the back of my hand -- its more than a job for me, its my lifestyle, and I hope that I can share my lifestyle with your and your furry friend! As of 2024 I currently live in Santa Fe, NM and am offering my dog walking and drop in services in the area, and I am also offering petsitting services in both Santa Fe and Taos. UPDATE 12/26/24 I will be in New York City for the holidays and am offering walking and sitting services here until January 16 2025 I work freelance, which means I have a lot of time to spend at home with your pet. I structure my day around the needs of each animal, and can work with even the most demanding schedule. I always make sure the client's home is as clean as it was when I first arrived, and that all doors are locked with animals inside. I pay a lot of attention to the physical and mental state of animals, and if I see they're overheating or in any state of distress I will do everything in my power to make them feel better.
About: I have been taking care of different types of pets all my life. I have had extensive experience with dogs, cats, lizards, bird, rats, mice, chinchillas, ferrets, etc. All of my pets are very happy at home. My dog has a plethora of toys as does my cat and though the cat will take her toy from you and run away the dog absolutely loves sharing with others. Feel free to ask me about any other animals. I dont mind taking care of any critters when you're away to make sure they are perfectly cared for by a professional. Or even at my house if needed. I'm sure my critters wouldn't mind. Plus I am setting up a reptile room where they will be safe. thanks for your inquiries. :D
“Amy was so great taking my 2 Catahoula’s on an hour walk and feeding them dinner. She was very responsive to any questions that came up. I felt very comfortable with her coming and going from my home with no problems. Thank you so much and will be booking again soon.”

“This was our second time boarding with Amanda and our little pup was excited to be back, wagging her tail the second she saw Amanda. Great to know she enjoys the stay and is well cared for when we are away!”
“Dawn was fantastic. Took care of our little dog with some medical issues no problem. He was anxious at first, but by night two he was settled and happy. No anxiety and was super happy when we picked him up. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“Stephanie has a wonderfully large space for dogs to play outdoors and get plenty of exercise. One of our pets was recovering from an unexpected illness and needed medications and some very specific feeding instructions which was managed very diligently. We are very happy with the care our dogs received here.”
“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%”
“Katie watched Tilly over Thanksgiving and was outstanding. We got fun pictures daily, and Tilly came home so happy, energized, and excited! She loves going to Katie's and runs into her home as soon as we get there. I highly recommend her.”
“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”
“Angel is simply THE BEST. No wonder she’s booked up months ahead, not only is she super responsible, attentive, and well-organized when it comes to looking after your fur baby, but she’s also so kind, loving and caring and you can tell that by how quickly the animals warm up to her. Angel took care of our VERY shy pup Malishka while we were on vacation, and it seemed like Malishka was having way more fun than we did, she made some new friends (which rarely happens) and looked so happy! Angel sent us daily photo updates and went above and beyond to make Malishka feel welcomed. She even gave her a bath before it was time to pick her up! Additionally, Angel paid daily visits to our kitty that stayed at our home and also made sure to keep us updated on her progress. Our kitty is quite timid and takes awhile to come out of her shell around strangers, but not with Angel, which just further shows how amazing Angel is with animals. This is definitely not the last time we will be leaving Malishka and Almond with Angel, thank you so so much!”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.
“Melinda was a fantastic dog sitter for Walter! He immediately felt right at home, even sitting on top of her laundry. She was great with providing us updates and Walter really enjoyed her yard and the other pups she was watching. Would absolutely have her watch Walter again!”
“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!”
“Our dog, Ailyn, had a great time with Jessica and her animals. Ailyn was fascinated with the cats and between them and Clara she had a blast and played hard during her stay.”
“We were so grateful to find Michelle on Rover! Great communication, attention to detail and knowing our geriatric guy was in great hands was wonderful! Highly recommend! Look forward to booking for future boarding. Thank you again!”
“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”
“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!!!!”
“Allegra and her family took very good care of Ginger. Ginger needs shots every 12hrs and does not always eat right away when she is given food and Allegra adapted to both of these. She also reached out letting me know how Ginger was doing or if there was any questions. Would recommend”
“We came to Santa Fe for a long weekend along with our dog, Dalton. There were some days where we had activities planned that unfortunately didn’t allow dogs so we hired Stevvi to care for our little guy for an evening and full day. Dalton was happy and relaxed when we picked him up and Stevvi was quick with communication during the 24 hours Dalton was in her care. Thanks so much!”
“Charity is great. She has taken of my dog for the pass and he is absolutely excited to go visit Charity and her dog Oatmeal. She takes the dogs on regular daily walks and takes the dogs to the park.”
