“Megan and her family did a fantastic job of taking care of Peanut. She sent the cutest pictures and videos and Peanut looked like he had a great time 😊Definitely will book with her again”
“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 took very good care of my boy Chewy. He was helpful and sweet and did what he could to make my boy comfortable. I would definitely recommend him if you need help with your babies!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She kindly stepped in last minute to watch my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She even offered to pick him up and drop him off, which was such a huge help. Throughout the stay she sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. My pup also got used to being around different animals thanks to her, and came back happy and well-socialized. Anna’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
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.”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
“Here’s a cleaner, grammatically improved version while keeping your tone: Jennifer was excellent at taking care of my dog. I was in town to attend a concert, and at the last minute she was able to take care of my dog for the night. She responded quickly and provided constant updates. It definitely gave me peace of mind that my dog was in good hands!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

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!

“I hired Jordan for a drop-in visit and she did an excellent job. Jordan's visit required her to participate in a professional training session with a trainer for my dog Lucky. Her involvement included acting as a new guest and Lucky being trained on proper reactivity and behavior to the new guest knocking on the door and entering/moving around the home. Jordan listened to and executed all instructions perfectly. Because of her professionalism, maturity, and above average dedication to the well-being of pets and overall human-pet relationship, Lucky was able to have a very successful training session. Jordan is a must hire for you pet needs.”
“Savanna is a rock star ! She came through last minute and I am so grateful ! She also was very patient with Gatsby ans My other fur child Colby ! Thank you so much I will book again and with Savannah!!”
“Fantastic. Can't say enough about her handling of what we thought was an unusual situation. An obviously pre-owned cat took up residence on our screen porch and while eager to be fed, was really craving attention. A mellow, neutered, ear-tipped critter looking for lap time couldn't be turned out even though we were leaving on a family trip. Blayne fed, watered and spent time with Felix, (yeah, we named him) while we were gone. Blayne will be seeing Felix again.”
“Samantha was amazing and diligent! She left detailed notes and pictures of every visit! She made our kitties feel comfortable. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Tommie took great care checking in on my cat Bear over the recent holiday. She is a good communicator and left check in notes that put my mind at ease while away. I would rebook with Tommie.”
“Janet was amazing. She did twice-daily drop-in visits and made sure my cat got her medication and supplements at the right times. More than that, though, she was great with with my cat, figured out her habits, and accommodated her whims. I was gone for ten days, and they developed their own routine. Janet sent lots of photos, so I knew my cat was doing well. I highly recommend her and will have her look after Tacy again in the future.”
About: You can ask all the cats I’ve ever sitted, I have THE best cardboard boxes in town, paws down! From kittens to grumpy old timers, I have the experience and attention to detail you want when leaving your baby in the hands of someone else. Come on meowver!!

“Sarah had great communication and absolutely has a love for all dogs! Annabelle seemed to have a great daycare session. She was happy and ready for some more naps after pickup.”
“Jasmine cared for my two senior dogs for a few hours while I had work meetings in Las Cruces. She was quick to respond to my request for care and easy to contact and communicate with.

I highly recommend Jasmine and would request her again!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Radium Springs
About: I am an animal lover who is constantly trying to plan trips and vacations around my dog. When I'm not able to take her with me, I worry constantly about the strangers taking care of her in a kennel. I want to leave her at the best possible place, but that can get pricey at $45+ per night. Plus, I worry about her safety and security with other dogs and have a hard time trusting that the employees will handle her correctly. I'd rather someone be able to watch her in her own home, so I would like to offer that service to my community. I've never lived a day of my life without a pet, and always had a dog, even for 15+ years. I adore all animals and have the propensity to care for them in the manner I would expect someone to care for my own; I'm super picky about who gets to do that, and so I understand that as part of the family, pets need attention and care that someone like me can provide better than most.
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.
“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.”
About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*
“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.”
About: For as long as I can remember I have owned a pet! I am constantly around animals and have committed myself to taking care of them, Having grown up around pets I have a great passion for caring for animals. I have volunteered with programs such as APA (action program for animals) mainly providing dog socialization and taking dogs on walks. As well as learning the proper techniques to handle and manage larger sized dogs on walks I have experience dealing with reactive dogs especially larger dogs, This makes me a great fit to care for all sized pups! I have also volunteered with CCCS (Cruces Cool Cats) helping provide basic sanctuary sanitation tasks such as cleaning and maintaining the sanctuary because I understand how important a clean environment is for a pet I have also helped in TNR transportation as well as Cat socialization. I understand how important your pet is too you a pet is a part of a family and when booking my services your pet will be treated as such. I am Currently enrolled at DACC as a freshman in the fall I am majoring in associative science to transfer to animal science at the main campus with a long term goal of making it into vet school.

Weekday availability may vary, but I’m happy to coordinate schedules and work something out when possible! I can’t wait to meet your pets !

I also send photo updates so owners can feel they’re confident their pets are in good hands !

I currently have 2 cats both Seniors and 2 dogs. I spoil them rotten as they should be.
About: I have experience with large and small animals including dogs, cats, lizards and livestock. I understand that not all pets are the same, and each deserves an individualized approach. I work from home and have the freedom to set my own schedule. As long as I have access to the internet, I can work from anywhere. I believe in safety first and will keep your pets entertained in your yard or leashed when outside of your pets private space. I will keep your pets schedule as close to normal as possible, as consistency is important for feeding and comfort.
About: My experience with dogs comes from raising and training puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind as well as my own dog training job!

About: I have had pets my entire life-- from dogs and cats to lizards, hamsters, chickens, guinea pigs, and gerbils. I was always the little girl who was bringing home stray wildlife and begging my parents to keep it. I have been petsitting and housesitting for about 20 years. I am honest, trustworthy, and above all I care deeply about animals. I have experience with senior animals, babies, and everything in between. I am comfortable administering medication, matching your dogs energy, going on walks, cuddling on the couch, and just being a fun companion for your pet when you can't be. I also have experience with animals who have been in traumatic situations. I understand how to navigate the boundaries of a scared animal, and I am a gentle and quiet-natured person who most dogs and cats learn to trust pretty quickly. I do have a baby that I occasionally need to bring with me to jobs. He never spends the night and I keep him safely in a pop-up playpen if he’s not right with me. I have a very flexible daily and weekly routine. I am available for drop-ins, walks, and even staying overnight if desired. I am married so my spouse is able to care for my pets while I am caring for yours! My priority is making sure that your pet is comfortable, safe, and getting the care it needs. I let you tell me about their schedule, your preferences on my time at your house, and your dogs quirks. I am very amenable to adapting my routine to fit your pet's lifestyle.
About: Woof! Hi my name is Wyley I have a ton of experience working with dogs and caring for them. I started volunteering and working at kennels in my hometown at 14. I also worked as a groomer/supervisor at a doggy daycare in Tacoma. I can help you with anything animal related you need! I have experience with special needs dogs and administering medications. I worked with foster and rescue dogs so I’m also very familiar with dogs that have obedience and behavioral troubles as well. My goal is to be a professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful friend and care giver for you and your furry babies. :) I have a wide open schedule right now so I can adapt to most pets schedules. This is my main source of income right now so whenever your pet needs me I can be there. My number one priority is the health and safety or you pet while in my care. That includes their mental health as well so I try to make sure my care is identical to the care they receive from you so they stay in their routine and keep being happy and healthy. :)
About: I’ve had over 100 animals since I was a kid my mom ran an animal rescue so I’ve been around animals my entire life. I’m a local house/pet sitter back home I love the work and I don’t mind going above and beyond for my clients because their fur babies deserve it. Night or Day I’d love to assist with any pet care assistance! (I also do holidays) I’m currently enrolled in the Bachelors program at NMSU so I will work around my class/club/volunteer schedule.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 7. I cared for my Pom Lucy until she died sadly in 2019.Since then I have always love dogs. I would care for your family member just like I cared for my own. I currently work on weekends in Alamogordo as a Home Care provider for a disabled patient. She is okay with having animals at her home and has a very large backyard for them to play in if you need your dog cared for on the weekends. For the rest of the week I am fully available. I have successfully potty trained my previous dog and current one. I can help reinforce commands and training you may be working on at home or give your pet a jumpstart on some training. I make it fun and rewarding for them by giving treats or high value toys. I am able to feed,walk and give your dog all the love and affection it needs. I also am able to follow any special instructions you have for your pet. I am currently working out of town 2-3 days of the week but I can be flexible with that schedule if necessary. I run a very relaxed home with my pet since she isn’t very high energy. We do a walk at least once a day for around 30 minutes as well as feeding in the morning and evening. If you’re on a schedule with your pet we can accommodate that schedule Pets in my home are in a very safe environment. I am able to quickly read body language for dogs and will adjust my behavior to help become more comfortable and trusting especially for in-home visits. There is constant access to water in my home, and zero access to harmful plants,chemicals or food. These items are all stored safely on high shelves in closets and cabinets. My pet is up to date on her shots and my home is disinfected and sanitized before and after each boarding.
About: I have a lot of experience with large dogs and cats as I have 7 dogs and 2 cats myself. I also have experience with farm animals if needed! Back home, I would take out my dogs in the morning and let them play for atleast an hour. By midday, I would take them outside again and then bring them inside to play or sleep. By 6pm, everyone’s fed and playing until 8, which is bedtime. If needed, they get showers if they are dirty every other week, Safety-wise, I make sure their backyard is secure whil outside. Inside, I make sure they atleast have a crate our are in a clean area. I trust all my animals as I would a sibling such as animals are family members as much as pets.
About: I grew up around animals ( dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and pigs). My current husky I bottle feed him since he was 3 weeks old and he is 11 years old. He has several health issues and I have experience with oral medication, ear infections, and arthritis. I’m currently a stay home mom, so I have plenty of time to take your puppy for walks & runs. I am available weekends as well. I have a 6ft tall fence yard that will Keep your pets safe. I also have indoor kennels for those who would like to request them.
About: I have loved animals from the day I was born. I have over three years of experience in the pet industry. I have worked as a professional groomer and at a doggy daycare facility. I have also provided boarding, drop-ins, grooming and house sitting for friends and family.

I am available in the afternoons, weekends and for overnight stays. Whether it be for exercise, potty breaks, feeding, a sleepover buddy, or just some love I will be overjoyed to spend any time with your pets!

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!

“Megan and her family did a fantastic job of taking care of Peanut. She sent the cutest pictures and videos and Peanut looked like he had a great time 😊Definitely will book with her again”
“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 took very good care of my boy Chewy. He was helpful and sweet and did what he could to make my boy comfortable. I would definitely recommend him if you need help with your babies!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She kindly stepped in last minute to watch my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She even offered to pick him up and drop him off, which was such a huge help. Throughout the stay she sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. My pup also got used to being around different animals thanks to her, and came back happy and well-socialized. Anna’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
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.”
“Keziah took such good care of our 5 month old mini aussiedoodle puppy for a week. It was the first time we had left her, so it was nerve racking, but Keziah sent daily texts and photos which greatly relieved our minds. She is very friendly and kept our puppy on a great schedule. We would definitely book her in the future, should we need to leave our furbaby.”
“Here’s a cleaner, grammatically improved version while keeping your tone: Jennifer was excellent at taking care of my dog. I was in town to attend a concert, and at the last minute she was able to take care of my dog for the night. She responded quickly and provided constant updates. It definitely gave me peace of mind that my dog was in good hands!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the deep respect, love, and attention I give every animal in my care. I truly believe animals show us how to love, live in the moment, and connect with the world around us. Because of that, I see caring for pets as more than a job — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a relationship I genuinely value. My dedication to their care, comfort, and protection makes me a strong advocate for their joy and safety. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routine, and emotional needs so they feel secure, understood, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets who need patience, consistency, and exercise, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentleness, extra monitoring, slower walks, medication support, and calm companionship. Whether a pet wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply rest quietly nearby, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to create a peaceful, loving environment where pets are treated like family and owners feel complete peace of mind. Every day starts with pets first. The morning begins with fresh water, a snack if needed, and then straight outside to the fenced backyard for a potty break. For dogs, the next part of the routine is one of my favorites — a 3–4 mile walk to help them get exercise, stimulation, and a happy start to their day. After the walk, we settle in for breakfast if that’s part of their routine. Because I’m home throughout the day, pets are never left without attention for long. While I’m cleaning, kitchen prepping, or working around the house, I take frequent breaks for cuddles, playtime, and backyard visits. Whether it’s dogs or cats, I make sure every pet gets regular affection, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I truly enjoy creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I care with attention, intention and detail. I check in often and spend time just sitting with and talking to. I give So much LOVE.

“She always does an amazing job watching Pax and he loves her! I was worried leaving him over the Fourth of July because of the fireworks but she made sure to give him his calming peanut butter and and do what she could to keep him calm. I got pictures everyday and she communicated what they were up to.”
