“Amanda took care of our elderly dog at her house for several days, and she did a wonderful job. She was very professional and flexible in her dealings with me. I know our dog liked the family atmosphere, the walks, and the way Amanda comforted her during thunderstorms. I would certainly take our dog to Amanda again if I get to go on another trip.”
“Our dog had the best time with Brian and his dogs while we took a short vacation. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with our dog in the future.”
“Brandi and family were amazing! We left our 5 month old puppy with them for the first time, and for 10 days! He came home more well behaved than we left him, and happy and healthy, of course. I can't believe it! When we left, he was biting (playfully, but still) and we come home, and he's just giving kisses and coming when we call him! I think we found the miracle dog sitter!”
About: I've cared for my friends' pets for over 10 years, both in my own home and doing home visits. I currently have two dogs, one of whom is a special needs chihuahua. I'm comfortable with administering medication, various special needs, and senior dogs. I work from home and have very flexible hours. Whether you decide to board your pet or have me do home visits, I look forward to caring for your pet as you would. I have a fenced in yard that's completely secure. Because I work from home, I'm with my own dogs most of the day. If you decide to board your pet with us they will get more than plenty of social time as well as time with me.
“Crystal was very accommodating and flexible on a last minute request. Brown Dog and I moved just a few days ago and have been anxious, but Crystal and her dogs put us at ease immediately with the chill energy in the home. I think he loved his sleepover with his new friends!”

About: I was born and raised with all kinds of dogs and love them all. I will love and care for yours like my own. I have one Jack Russell terrier named Jasmine. She loves all dogs. I’ve had older and younger dogs that have special diets and needed medication given and am comfortable with that if your dog needs it. They are free to roam night and day or you are free to bring a crate for them. I work at home so I will be at home all day each day. Growing up I cared for neighbors dogs and family dogs. We take walks each day if that’s something you’re comfortable with me doing. I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to love and care for yours pet. Doggie door that they can go in and out and I always go outside with them. I have a fenced yard and a small dog that yours can run and play with.Mine would love a play mate and someone to get the the zoomies with.
“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”
About: My husband and I have been taking care of dogs for years. My husband used to work for a doggie daycare in town and has also had dogs since childhood. We have a dog of our own named Mia who loves getting to know and playing with other dogs. Your dog will leave happy and with new friends I am currently working remotely from home and my husband also works a hybrid schedule. Your dog will have all day and night supervision and as many potty breaks as they need or just time outside to play. We have a big property that is completely fenced for your dog to run and roam. Our dog Mia loves making new friends and would love some company.
“We were lucky to find Lily when our regular sitter was unavailable. When we picked Tyson up I think he would gladly have stayed longer. We would be very comfortable booking with Lily again.”
“Part of the reason why I chose Arysta is one of my dogs is a fence jumper. Arysta has lots of enclosed fences with different dog runs and even a dog grooming facility on her property. She did contact me on the first day to let me know that my dog jumped two of her fences (she’s been known to scale 10 foot fences), but she switched up her strategy to keep my dog safe and nothing happened after that. Can’t tell you how pleased I was with my experience with Arysta.”

“Jennifer is dependable, reliable, and professional. Felix really likes her and she is good with him and to him. Jennifer left our home neat and cleaned up (cat dishes, litter box etc) and followed all instructions. I highly recommend Jennifer and Felix will see her again, I am am sure! Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Fantastic cat sitter, sent in daily check ups without being asked. And left my apartment in what seems like better shape then when she took it over. I came home from a week long trip and my cat didn’t seem like he missed me at all, which is good for me! Absolutely recommend Abigail, extremely courteous and professional.”
“Savanah does an amazing job. My cat is skittish and doesn’t do well with others. Sav has taken care of her both in sickness and in health. Every time I come home my cat is much happier than with previous sitters. I highly recommend using Savanah.”
“"Kat" B. provided an incredible experience when she took care of my two cats and the house. The cats loved spending time with her, and she followed all the instructions and did extra tasks without being asked. The "Kat" has the special animal magic due to her knowledge and experiences with a diverse population of animals!. I would not hesitate to contact her to take care of your pets. You will be happy with what she can provide for your most important family members. Thank you for all you did Kat, and I look forward to seeing you again.”
“Danny did a great job taking care of our home, adult cat, and kitten. I’m not sure the cats even noticed we were gone, and the house was in a better state than we left it. Our time away was so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated the check-ins and pictures. We’ll definitely use Danny again the next time we travel.”
“Hutch was a wonderful kitty sitter, especially considering Pumpkin was just a kitten! She was very courteous of our home and sent us daily pictures. 5 starts for sure! Thank you again Hutch!”
“When Michele and I first talked, I felt an ease with her that is rare when looking for any personal service these days. Our schedules didn’t match then, but when I was looking for someone again this month, I sent her a message to see if she was available. Thankfully she was. My work is challenging lately and Michele is patient, responsive, and respectful - I do the same as best as possible, so I appreciate kind and courteous people. The kittehs were in excellent hands. My boy is older, social, and on meds. He was happy to have a friendly face during the trip, as he sulks when he’s away from people for any amount of time. The girls are timid, so a bit less happy to have someone here, but well cared for. The house was better than it was upon leaving, which is above and beyond and truly appreciated. Michele will be the first choice for future trips and highly recommended - Thank you so much!”

About: I have 24 years of experience taking care of animals. Most of it personal. I do have almost 3 years of professional pet care. I currently work at a grooming assistant/groomer. I am trained in administration of all sorts of medications including administration of insulin. Best number to reach me will be the 505 number. I no longer have the 972 area code in service and I can't remove it for some reason. I am currently a grooming assistant/groomer and currently working friday-tuesday from 9:30-5:30. Occasionally days tend to get canceled, run longer, or even shorter. Most of the times it depends on how the pet does and how many pets there are in a day. For the safety of your pets I would recommend I stay at your home as one of my dogs can be aggressive/reactive with new dogs. Should there be no other options my dog is kennel trained and can be in his kennel and alternate turns getting attention and going outside. I have a fenced backyard but will take pet on leashed walks around the neighborhood or have supervised playtime in the yard.
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 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.
“Michael was great with my dog Peanut, he was very professional; he walked my dog twice and sent timely pictures and behavior reports. I used his services twice in 2 days and my dog Peanut really likes him and I intend to use his services in the future.”

“Brittany is absolutely amazing! She took our puppy in for doggy day care at her place and our pup loved playing with her two dogs and going on walks! She responds quickly and was very friendly to us and our pup! Will definitely be contacting her for future services :)”
About: I wanted a dog my whole life but my parents weren't pet people. I finally got my own dog as an adult when I also had two toddlers. It was way more work than I thought it would be, but training my puppy and watching him grow and teaching my kids about caring for a dog was so incredibly fulfilling! I loved learning about training and dog behavior and psychology and learned so much! I love all animals and especially love dogs and would love to share that love with your dog too!! I am a full time stay at home mom so my schedule is very flexible. Two of my kids are in school all day and I have a 2 year old who is home with me all day. I spend most of my time at home, with the occasional outings and errand running. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can fit your dog's schedule easily into mine. I can do potty breaks and walks whenever necessary and I live near a couple parks with dog runs that I like to take my dog to, so I could easily bring your dog as well. Though I am busy with 3 kids, I'm never too busy to love and care for extra pets! I have a fenced yard where your dog can go out for potty breaks. It is not a huge yard, but it is safe with rocks and turf where my dog uses the bathroom. My dog is inside for pretty much the whole day so your dog would be with him inside as well. I do have 3 kids, so your dog needs to be ok with small children, but they have all grown up with a dog and know how to be kind and respectful to dogs.
“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.”
“Victoria took excellent care of our pug, Doug, for a day of daycare! She has an incredible back yard and keeps a close eye on the dogs playing with each other. I had no concerns while he was in her care, and she sent us great updates throughout the day! We will definitely use her again.”
“Brandi is so nice and caring with her dogs and was the same with my dog, Buttercup. She helped make the introductions between Buttercup and her dogs go smoothly by slowly letting them meet each other. She sends pictures and updates throughout the day to keep you updated on the fun times your dog is having. Buttercup had a great time playing with Charlie and Jasmine. I was very reassured when I dropped Buttercup off and was very happy when I picked her up and saw how happy she was. Would definitely recommend Brandi to anyone looking for a safe, fun dog sitting experience.”
“Remy had so much fun at doggy day care with Venise! She is so sweet and loving with the pups and has a nice spacious home & yard for them to play. We are so happy we found Venise and will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Madelyn was fantastic. She was flexible and easy to communicate with, and she took great care of our pup. If we're in Santa Fe again we won't hesitate to book her again! Thanks Madelyn!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, and I have trained puppies to learn basic obedience along with tricks. I have pet-sat for family members before, and I love taking dogs for walks.

We have a dog door that leads from the inside of our house to the backyard, so they are free to go outside whenever they want.
About: I have been told I am a dog whisperer. I will roll on the floor and play, I will gladly take walks with your fur baby just say the word.

I currently work at home so I can accommodate your pet needs.

I understand all pets are different and that their needs vary. I am flexible and willing to accommodate any special needs that your pet may have.
About: If your pet needs a new best friend… I’m your guy. I’ve loved animals literally my whole life! My first dog was a Husky who used to give me chaparoned rides in the backyard when I was a baby. Since then I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, dogs, cats, bunnies, mice, hamsters, chickens, and animals have always just vibed with me! I bond really well with pets of all kinds, whether they’re shy, playful, energetic, or the type that just wants a chill person around. I do this because I genuinely love animals, and taking care of them makes me happy ! It’s something that feels natural and meaningful to me. If you choose me, I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own little pack, with patience, attention, and good energy. Whether it’s walks, hangs, feedings, or just being a safe presence while you’re away, I’m here to make it easy for both you and your pet. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m flexible and can work around you and your pets schedule. We’ll find a rhythm that works for both of us. Alongside pet sitting and house sitting, I offer energy healing sessions. Feel free to ask me more. I take care of pets in a way that feels natural for us. In your home, I stick to their usual schedule and make sure they get attention, company, and whatever they need to feel safe. I’ve got plenty of time to give, and I’m available for overnights if you’re going out of town.
About: Now serving the greater Albuquerque Area! To all of my Utah clients, I miss your pups 💜 I moved to Albuquerque in September 2023. When I moved to Utah, by myself, in January 2023, I got lonely and craved animal connection, so I began with Rover. It has been such a great thing in my life. I hope to continue my services in New Mexico. I now have 2 pups of my own, but my partner cares for them when I am sitting. I will never bring them to a sit unless prior meeting and permission of the owners. Bloopers and Scub are young, big, lover boys with a lot of energy. They LOVE other dogs. Sophie, my senior pup, had to be put down before I moved to Utah. I cared for her heart and kidney failure for 3 years. I am experienced with senior pups and can handle all the way down to puppies, too. I love cats. I am also a trained bird handler. I have pet sit for my professors and coworkers before, from hunting lab puppies to senior Maltese. Since moving to Utah at the beginning of the year, I have house sat, done drop-ins, and walks. I have house sat for all kinds of pups from labs to yorkies, goldendoodles to bulldogs. I work a very flexible full-time, telework option, job. I can check/walk in morning, lunch, dinner and through the night if needed. Week days and weekends. I have extensive experience giving pets drugs and other heath needs. I can do any form of exercise or travel needed. I will always double check doors are locked and secured.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for others for over a decade. I'm currently childless and can work from my laptop anywhere on a flexible schedule. I have maximum flexibility to meet needs you may have. Please note: continuous all day care in your home is my default service and my price reflects that. I'm primarily a vacation sitter and book only one client at a time. If you book my nightly rate I guarantee 18 out of the 24 hours in the day will be at your home with your pet(s). If you want to get price down and are in Albuquerque I might suggest booking my drop in services or discussing with me your expectations for hours so we can get to a price that works for us both. I also may lower price charged for each additional pet depending on pet's energy level and needs. For example, if you have a second or third dog that mostly sleep all day can lower the price extra for each extra dog fee. I'm an avid outdoor hiker and walker so even high energy pups are good with me. I also take care of your home and pets as if they were my own. Golden rule. For house sitting, I have 60 mile radius I work in with -includes ABQ and Sante Fe. I'm available to pet sit in your home while working from home day hours starting early morning M-F if your home is conducive for me to do so and generally stay overnight unless you'd like me not to. I need a table wifi, and ac for working. I can do drop in visits if you are ten minute drive from me during M-F as well. On Saturday and Sunday I am fully available for your pets unless I have made plans or am traveling myself. For spending night in your home, I am respectful of your privacy and only go in bedrooms for sleep and can wash the sheets for when you get back. If you don't want me in bedroom and have a comfy couch I am fine with that too. I can care for pets in your home where they are most at ease. I am not able to board at my home because of my HOA :(
“When I first met with Lisa she wanted to know everything about my dogs, and they all gathered around her, becoming instantly comfortable with her. I have complete trust that she will keep them safe and happy whenever she is with them.”
About: I have 24 years of experience taking care of animals. Most of it personal. I do have almost 3 years of professional pet care. I currently work at a grooming assistant/groomer. I am trained in administration of all sorts of medications including administration of insulin. Best number to reach me will be the 505 number.

Occasionally days tend to get canceled, run longer, or even shorter. Most of the times it depends on how the pet does and how many pets there are in a day. For the safety of your pets I would recommend I stay at your home as one of my dogs can be aggressive/reactive with new dogs. Should there be no other options my dog is kennel trained and can be in his kennel and alternate turns getting attention and going outside. I have a fenced backyard but will take pet on leashed walks around the neighborhood or have supervised playtime in the yard.

“Amanda took care of our elderly dog at her house for several days, and she did a wonderful job. She was very professional and flexible in her dealings with me. I know our dog liked the family atmosphere, the walks, and the way Amanda comforted her during thunderstorms. I would certainly take our dog to Amanda again if I get to go on another trip.”
“Our dog had the best time with Brian and his dogs while we took a short vacation. I highly recommend him and would absolutely trust him with our dog in the future.”
“Brandi and family were amazing! We left our 5 month old puppy with them for the first time, and for 10 days! He came home more well behaved than we left him, and happy and healthy, of course. I can't believe it! When we left, he was biting (playfully, but still) and we come home, and he's just giving kisses and coming when we call him! I think we found the miracle dog sitter!”
About: I've cared for my friends' pets for over 10 years, both in my own home and doing home visits. I currently have two dogs, one of whom is a special needs chihuahua. I'm comfortable with administering medication, various special needs, and senior dogs. I work from home and have very flexible hours. Whether you decide to board your pet or have me do home visits, I look forward to caring for your pet as you would. I have a fenced in yard that's completely secure. Because I work from home, I'm with my own dogs most of the day. If you decide to board your pet with us they will get more than plenty of social time as well as time with me.
“Crystal was very accommodating and flexible on a last minute request. Brown Dog and I moved just a few days ago and have been anxious, but Crystal and her dogs put us at ease immediately with the chill energy in the home. I think he loved his sleepover with his new friends!”
“Vicki was great! Our senior dogs warmed up to her right away, even though they are both very timid. The enjoyed couch cuddled with her all weekend. We would gladly book again with her!”
“Great people to take care of your dog. She sent me pictures on a daily basis so I could see that Ivy was enjoying herself. I intend to use her in the future. Thank you Victoria”
“Rachael was very accommodating in caring for our 1.5 yr larger puppy and was great in keeping us updated and sending pictures. We felt assured leaving our furry friend with her and rebook without hesitation.”
About: My husband and I have been taking care of dogs for years. My husband used to work for a doggie daycare in town and has also had dogs since childhood. We have a dog of our own named Mia who loves getting to know and playing with other dogs. Your dog will leave happy and with new friends I am currently working remotely from home and my husband also works a hybrid schedule. Your dog will have all day and night supervision and as many potty breaks as they need or just time outside to play. We have a big property that is completely fenced for your dog to run and roam. Our dog Mia loves making new friends and would love some company.
“We were lucky to find Lily when our regular sitter was unavailable. When we picked Tyson up I think he would gladly have stayed longer. We would be very comfortable booking with Lily again.”
“Part of the reason why I chose Arysta is one of my dogs is a fence jumper. Arysta has lots of enclosed fences with different dog runs and even a dog grooming facility on her property. She did contact me on the first day to let me know that my dog jumped two of her fences (she’s been known to scale 10 foot fences), but she switched up her strategy to keep my dog safe and nothing happened after that. Can’t tell you how pleased I was with my experience with Arysta.”
“We are very thankful that Kayla and Matt were able to watch our dogs. They provided us with updates and photos! They were very patient and understanding when a dog had an incident in the house. Our dogs returned to us clean and happy. I would rebook with them in a heartbeat!! I'm also very thankful that they had an affordable rate. Thank you from us and the pups :)”

About: Dogs of all ages are welcome here! My wife Mandi and I are lifelong dog lovers who provide a safe, fun, and loving home for your furry family member. What sets us apart is our experience caring for dogs through every stage of life. Last year, we said goodbye to our beloved 17-year-old black Labrador, Bella. Caring for her in her senior years taught us patience, compassion, and the importance of individualized care. We are comfortable caring for puppies, active adult dogs, and seniors who may need medication, extra potty breaks, or a slower pace. We are also Airbnb Superhosts and understand the importance of trust, communication, and providing exceptional care. In addition to caring for our own dogs, we've been pet sitting for friends and family for years and genuinely love welcoming animals into our home. We share our home with our two friendly dogs, Holly and Philbert. To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, all guest dogs must be friendly and non-aggressive. We require a meet and greet to make sure all dogs are a good fit and comfortable together. You can expect plenty of love, attention, updates, and photos during your dog's stay. Our goal is simple: treat every dog like family and give you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is already a big part of our daily life! I am home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. My wife Amanda and I take our dogs, Holly and Philbert, on daily walks and make sure they get lots of exercise and affection. On weekends, we love taking them on adventures such as hikes, trips to the park, dog-friendly outings, and play dates. If your dog enjoys being active, we'll do our best to keep them engaged while also respecting their individual energy level and routine. Whether your pup is an energetic explorer or a laid-back couch companion, we'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. Dogs staying in our home have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel like part of the family. We have a dedicated dog room equipped with a dog door that provides access to a secure outdoor dog run, as well as a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. For cleanliness and safety, guest dogs have access to the tiled areas of our home, including the dedicated dog space and common areas, which are easy to keep clean and comfortable for everyone. My wife Amanda and I are experienced dog owners, and I am home full-time, so dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. We follow each dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate routines, and any special care instructions. For everyone's safety, all dogs are required to complete a meet-and-greet to ensure they are a good fit with our dogs, Holly and Philbert, and our home environment. We do not leave dogs unattended for extended periods. The only exceptions would be brief errands when necessary, and dogs will always be safely secured and comfortable during that time. We provide regular updates and photos throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, loved, and well cared for.
