“By far the best dog sitter in the Vegas area. Brittany and her family took Sierra in as one of their own while I had a trip planned out of town. She sent multiple photos and texted through the duration of Sierras stay. 10/10 will reuse the service through them.”

“Logan is awesome, she was able to be booked on short notice and she definitely was a big help to me when I had to go out of town. She responds very quickly and always updated me on how my animals were doing. I will definitely book with her in the future. Thank you again for everything you do!”

“Rita did a great job. She met up with us early to meet the kitties. We had an alarm malfunction , but she handled it like a champ. She kept good records of each visit and it was great seeing the kitties when we couldn’t be there. She went above and beyond in her duties.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to livestock, and I also have previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I helped care for dogs and cats staying for boarding. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including senior and special-needs pets. I have experience administering oral and injected medications, and I’m also trained in pet first aid/CPR. At home, I have three dogs of my own, including senior pups, so I understand how important routines, patience, comfort, and individualized attention can be. I know every pet has their own personality and preferences, and I make it a priority to care for them in the way that makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether your pet loves walks and playtime, wants to curl up for cuddles, or simply needs a calm and patient person they can trust, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule Sunday through Thursday and am available for boarding, house sitting, doggy day care, walks, and drop-in visits depending on the needs of your pet. I work overnight shifts locally Thursday through Saturday, so on workdays I am generally available for walks and drop-in visits before my shift and again the following morning. My calendar is kept up to date so you’ll always have a clear idea of my availability when requesting a booking. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine before booking so we can make sure my schedule is a good fit for their feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and companionship needs. I can also provide basic baths and nail trims upon request for an additional fee. I take every pet’s safety, comfort, and routine seriously and care for them as I would my own. My home has a securely fenced yard for supervised potty breaks and playtime, and I have three friendly dogs of my own. I always take each pet’s personality and comfort level into consideration when introducing them to my dogs, and I’m happy to provide separate spaces when needed. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, exercise needs, and any household rules your pet is accustomed to. I have previous veterinary clinic experience and am comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, as well as administering oral and injected medications. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my goal is to maintain their normal routine and provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment. I also provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Ce was very patient and understanding with my senior fur baby. She sent me several pictures throughout his stay and sent me a text on how he was doing every two hours. I would definitely recommend Ce for any fur baby parents. We will be booking her in the future when we travel to Ruidoso with our little guy. Thank you Ce.”

About: Lifelong animal lover, rescue dog mom, and someone who truly understands how much our pets mean to us. I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all kinds, from puppies who want to play all day to sweet seniors who just need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, seen, and loved while you’re away. I’ve rescued and fostered several dogs over the years (including my current pups!), and I know how important trust and patience are—especially with animals who may need a little extra time to warm up. I also love the outdoors and make sure every dog in my care gets plenty of fresh air, exercise, and attention based on their energy level and needs. Whether your dog wants to curl up and nap or explore the neighborhood, I’ll be there to make them feel at home. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family—because to me, they are. Currently I am available at all times of the day and week. Morning or night. I will be able to accommodate needs ranging from; in home sitting, house sitting, daily walks/care...etc. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a calm and loving space shared with my two small, dog-friendly pups. I have one kennel available that can be set up in a quiet, separate room if your pet needs their own space to relax. If you prefer to bring your own kennel, I’m more than happy to accommodate—whatever makes your fur baby feel most at home. While in my care, all dogs will be kept on leash at all times for safety. My home has a peaceful, zen-like atmosphere. Whether it’s for a short stay or longer visit, your pet will be treated like part of the family—and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way with texts and photos. PS I also offer dog baths upon request!
