Highly-rated overnight sitters - Seton Village
“I really felt at ease knowing my little pup was safe and cared for in Angel's home. From the pictures she sent, I could tell he was comfortable and made himself at home.”
“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.”
“Stef was amazing!!! She cared so much for our dogs while they were with her. I am a nervous dog mom so I’m concerned any time my “kids” aren’t with me BUT Stef made it easy. She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”
“I was very nervous to have to leave my cats overnight, especially since they can get nervous around strangers, but they came home still happy and calm. Mayra made me feel very confident in her ability to care and she did just that. Thank you!”
“What a wonderful experience for our dogs who stayed with Tami for a week. They came home to us relaxed, not exhausted as with previous kennel experiences at other places, and we will definitely continue boarding them with Tami. They loved being able to be outside in her lovely yard--she spoiled them!”
“Highly recommend Rachel! My puppy was so very happy, it was a caca for her. Every picture I received, Daisy Mae was smiling. Rachel added to my pups experiences with socializing and being around other humans ( she learned manners) I never expected to be so pleased! I will always book with Rachel!! Rachel is a fur babies Parent, dream come true!!”
“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!”
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.
“Laurie was just great in every aspect of boarding our pooch Mikey. She was very accommodating to our schedule and was quick to respond to calls and text. But most importantly, Laurie was fantastic with Mikey. One could immediately tell she is at ease with dogs. I would certainly use Laurie on our next visit to Prescott and recommend her to our friends with dogs. John and Nancy F.”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“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.”
“Heidi was wonderful to work with - flexible, communicative etc. And just terrific with my quirky little Yorkie, Ari. I am always uneasy leaving Ari with someone new for the first time, and this went so smoothly. He came back totally "himself": no re-adjustment period at all. Cannot recommend highly enough. Very much hope that Heidi is available the next time I travel!”
“Joy was fantastic with Ziggy who can sometimes be a little anxious in new settings and a finicky eater. Joy put me at ease with lots of updates and Ziggy really loved her. She went above and beyond to buy him some chicken when he ran out. Thanks Joy!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“We have continued to use Candace as she is great with our Chihuahua. Our pup wags her tail when we walk up Candace's steps to drop her off, that's when we know she's in great hands.”
“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”

“Ian did an awesome job taking care of my cat Edgar. Edgar requires extra grooming, and Ian handled it like a pro. This was our first experience with Ian and we will definitely use him again!”
“Jenna was a fantastic sitter for our 2 boys. We came home to a nice, tidy house and very happy kitties. She even reached out during our stay to let us know we running low on cat litter which was very much appreciated (thank goodness to Instantcart). We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
“If there were 6 stars available to rate Kimmy, I'd rate her a 7! One of the best Rover sitter experiences I've ever booked, and I've been using this service for 7 years. She is so attentive to my cat son's every need, keeps me fully updated with all the details about her visits with him, even left me a lovely welcome home card when I returned home ?. I was ready to leave Rover behind for good after my last sitter did such a poor job, but Kimmy turned all of that around. She listens, has an awesome way with my cat, and most importantly she is kind. Thank you, Kimmy! I can't wait to book you for Jub Jub again!”
“Reiley was a stellar Rover who went above and beyond to take care of our two cats while we were away. Both cats seemed so happy and calm when we returned from our trip, they appeared to be so well taken care of! We looked forward to Reiley’s amazing rover cards at the end of every day on our vacation. He took lots of pics and gave us updates which made us feel so happy and comfortable that he was there with them, playing with them and genuinely enjoying their company! We will definitely choose Reiley to take care of Gidget & Pilou next time we go out of town!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could. Probably the best animal caretaker on the planet. Incredibly reliable , thoughtful and on top of it. Melinda made 2 trips a day to take of my senior cat with health issues. Her level of care , consideration and kindness was above and beyond. Melinda sets the bar high. I don’t know if I will ever be able to find a replacement.”

“Tim did a fantastic job looking after Samson and making sure that everything was comfortable for him while we were away. He was easy to get in touch with and sent us daily updates which was really nice. Thankyou Tim, we will definitely call you again!!”

About: Hello! I have been a dog owner and have kept aquariums both as a hobby and professionally for 10+ years. I have over 425 volunteer hours logged combined as an aquarist with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and with the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter. As a personal assistant, baby sitter and dog sitter, I am professional, detail-oriented, friendly and motivated to engage with your pets and give the highest quality care I can. As of this summer, I have graduated with a Bachelors in Biology from UC Santa Cruz, where I worked within two different labs focused on invertebrate and fish research and husbandry tasks, as well as a front desk admin and floor manager at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center. I currently work as a contract field scientist with the Bureau of Land Management, based in Santa Fe. I have a clean driving record and my own vehicle, and am flexible for overnights and check-ins, though do reach out to me to confirm my availability. I am currently employed full-time with a nontraditional schedule, and will communicate with you on times I may need to be out of the house for work. I will go over with you a detailed questionnaire to determine all aspects of your pet's care and schedule, and send update messages at least once a day.
“Joshua was excellent, managed the strict diet of our growing kitten with IBS, gave us regular hilarious updates, and managed to get on the good side of our other cranky cat.”
“Angel did a great job. She was on time for visits, sent lots of photos and contacted me when necessary for questions. Through her communication she put my mind at ease that my kitties were being well cared for. I will use her again.”
About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.
“Mel was Amazing with Margaret! They were very understanding when our plans changed and flexible with our schedule. Mel sent an update daily and very communicative! Will definitely book again! 😸”
“Kendall was amazing! I was so nervous when I had a last minute work trip only a few days after one of my kitties had her spay surgery. not only did she take amazing care of her (and my other older cat), but she eased my concerns the entire time. I could really tell that she cared about my cats and their well being. She was also super communicative, and was able to last minute come and pick up/drop off my cats after I broke my elbow right before the trip (lots of crazy events one after the other!). thank you again Kendalll!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Seton Village
“I am visiting Santa Fe from out of town, and Stephanie took care of my high-energy Labrador for the day. My dog came back to me clean and tired, and Stephanie sent me photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely take Margot to her again!”
“Our dog had great fun playing with the dogs at the sitter 😁. Laurie took them on a hike one day and our dog had a great time and was nice and tired out for a calm evening 😊. Lily was very excited to go back for her second day! You should be forewarned that her house is down a dirt road with ups and downs. Would definitely recommend this sitter for a social and energetic 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.”
“Abby had a great time with Eliza and Alejandro and came home tuckered after plenty of walks and cuddles. I have them booked again for two different days next week also. I appreciated the photo updates. THANKS!!”
“My Chiweenie Bug practically jumps out of the window when we turn onto Melissa's street. Her 3 dogs are the cutest and took to my dog immediately. He comes home happy and tired, what more can you ask for? And she even gave me a recipe for the food she makes for her dogs, and Bug looooves it.”
“We brought our older dog with us to Santa Fe and realized that in order to see all the lovely art museums we needed to find someone to care for Zippy. Zippy has separation anxiety and we were worried about leaving him for an extended time. We had nothing to worry about. He really enjoyed his time with Victoria! He got to play with other dogs, watch the chickens, take walks. He was living his best life, while we were able to enjoy Santa Fe dog free. It was a win-win for everyone. I highly recommend Victoria for daycare.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about Melinda's day care service for my two puppies. From the moment I dropped them off, I knew they were in good hands. Melinda was warm, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. She was quick replying my messages and accommodated our schedule. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Pawsitively a perfect experience! Jessica took this last minute request super early in the morning and took care of my pup as if he was her own. My pup had a blast playing with her furbabies and was in the BEST mood when I picked him up. Will 100% be using her again!”
“My boys were instantly comfortable with Cressandra. It was remarkable. They are shy dogs, but day 1 of doggy daycare they already did zoomies, made themselves at home on the couch, and ate their full meal.”
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
“Stevvi was professional, flexible, and just simply lovely to work with. Our mini schnauzer was so excited each time we pulled up to her beautiful house, which is always the best sign of good care. Traveling with pets can be stressful, but working with Stevvi made our trip much easier.”
“Anaissa is a true dog person and was an excellent sitter for our dog. We’re on an extended road trip and our dog has been feeling a bit stressed. Anaissa wasn’t phased and introduced our dog to others slowly. She kept us updated throughout the day, and we picked up a tired and happy pup. I highly recommend her!”
“Chloe did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Zoey. They went on several walks, and Zoey came home happy and tired each day. Chloe had great communication throughout and was a huge help during our visit to Santa Fe. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Angel and Jon for watching over Jo Jo. I appreciate your service, and I felt an immediate ease with you both and your lovely home. You are obviously experienced, with a caring love for animals. Thank you so much!”
“Eva was amazing! I would highly recommend her to watch your furbaby. She watched our sweet Lohla and sent pictures throughout the day. I can’t say enough kind words to say how thankful we were to Eva to watch our girl!”

“Eileen is fantastic. I absolutely trust her with my home and my family. I have one sweet butterball of a Labrador that a child could walk, but I also have a 95 lb impulsive shelter rescue that needs a strong head a fast eye and a firm hand to be safe. She's not an easy animal to walk and Eileen has complete command of her, and can walk both of these very different animals together at the same time. She's smart, sensible, prompt, professional, and has good strong boundaries with the dogs while still being kind to them. It's absolutely perfect and I'm beyond grateful that she's available to walk the dogs. ❤️🐾💪”

Highly recommend Tim, and will definitely rebook next time I need help!”

About: Just an FYI we can only sit for dogs that are 30 lbs or smaller, due to HOA rules in our condo complex. I have had and cared for a dog most of my life. I have never been dog sitting on Rover for a couple of years now, and have enjoyed it immensely. I love having dogs around. I am a stay at home mom, who is home a majority of the day. Russell, my husband, would also be caring for your dog, and he's great with dogs. We would love to have your pup over for a visit, while you are out of town. If you have any question, please feel free to ask. I do have a 4 year old son. He is great with dogs/pets. He used to dogs being around.We had a dog for his whole life. Unfortunately, our Charlie dog passed away last May. He was 11/12 years old. I am a stay at home mom, with a bookkeeping freelance business, so I am home most of the day. When I do work, my husband is usually home, except on Tuesdays. I have a 4 year old also, so I do have to take him and pick him up from preschool. We live in an apartment. We go outside often, and have no problems take dogs out. Our apartment is clean and tidy. I am good at following directions that may be given to care for you pup.
About: I'm new to caring for dogs professionally, I've dog and cat sat for my neighbor several times over the last three years. While I'm new to taking care of pets in a professional setting, I've cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. I've always felt a kindred spirit for animals and treat them with the utmost respect and care. From feeding, to bathing, and walking there isn't any dog I haven't enjoyed taking care of or spending time with. I recently lost my sweet boy who was in my life for seven years as he was an elder dog when I adpoted him and that's what brought me to Rover. I can guarantee your pet will be well cared for with me. I have a pretty open schedule right now since I only work part-time. I'm available after 3 pm Monday - Wednesday and have full availibility Thursday - Sunday to care for your fur baby. I'm available for boarding on weekends and can come to your fur baby as well if they prefer being at home.

“Eliza was wonderful with our pets! She gave us daily updates and photos, and was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. She was even willing to stop before the booking began to make sure that she would be a good fit for us and my pup. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I am mid 40's; active, love my 4-legged kiddos (tri-pod included) like they are my children, and really enjoy working with dogs of all shapes & sizes. I'm currently new to Santa Fe, looking for something more to fill my day. I have always had dogs & volunteered in dog rescue. I currently travel quite often so I thought this might be a flexible way to earn some money & learn more about Santa Fe. I currently have 2 dogs that I walk daily, exercise for their mental stability is so important. I couldn't imagine treating your dog any differently.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs for over 9 years and absolutely adore being around them. I can work on basic trainings for puppies, play hard with them, or give them the long walk they need. For senior dogs, I love to give them all the snuggles and pets they need :) seeing them happy makes me happy. Im currently working part time and have a very flexible work schedule, leaving plenty of time to let your dog out, play, or walk your pup during weekdays. Safety is huge when it comes to me watching your pup. Depending on your dog and safety protocols, I will follow them strictly (only allowed in a fenced yard, always leashed on a walk, etc).
About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little girl and I loved to caring for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.

“I really felt at ease knowing my little pup was safe and cared for in Angel's home. From the pictures she sent, I could tell he was comfortable and made himself at home.”
“Stef was amazing!!! She cared so much for our dogs while they were with her. I am a nervous dog mom so I’m concerned any time my “kids” aren’t with me BUT Stef made it easy. She sent lots of updates to let me know what they were up to and how they were doing. She was also very flexible with us as our schedule changed. Stef was exceedingly patient and always willing to help our family. We would be grateful for the opportunity to leave our dogs with her again! 10 out of 5 stars! 😁”
“What a wonderful experience for our dogs who stayed with Tami for a week. They came home to us relaxed, not exhausted as with previous kennel experiences at other places, and we will definitely continue boarding them with Tami. They loved being able to be outside in her lovely yard--she spoiled them!”
“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!”
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.
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“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.”
“Heidi was wonderful to work with - flexible, communicative etc. And just terrific with my quirky little Yorkie, Ari. I am always uneasy leaving Ari with someone new for the first time, and this went so smoothly. He came back totally "himself": no re-adjustment period at all. Cannot recommend highly enough. Very much hope that Heidi is available the next time I travel!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“Ray was great! Milo was tired and seemed really relaxed when we picked him up. We got about an update a day which was nice, would have liked a few more just because we had only left him before once with someone else while we were out of town, and I’m admittedly a little bit more of a worry wort dog mom. They were SUPER kind and is very much trust them again with Milo. They were always responsive and seemed to really care for dogs. He also got along great with Oatmeal, they’re own poodle, it was nice having a buddy for Milo to hang out with. 5 stars!”
“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!”
About: I love all animals! I have experience with dogs, cats, cows, reptiles (mainly snakes), chickens, ducks, rodents (rats, mice, hamster), rabbits, sheep, goats, birds, etc! I love connecting with each animal in their unique ways, I truly believe we have a lot to learn from these compassionate beings. It's my pleasure to make them feel safe, loved, well fed and fully exercised! I don't have a lot of experience with senior animals but I'm willing to learn what their specific and special needs are. I have had older dogs in my life so I do have a basic grasp on their needs but everyone is unique! I am self employed. My schedule can be pretty open for the most part! The flexibility I have in my life makes it really easy to navigate your pets needs. I'll gladly learn the typical schedule you have with your pet so that they feel their care is secure and stable. Time of feeding, length of walk, treats, etc. Just let me know and I'll do my best to make you both feel considered and cared for. I'm living in a multi-bedroom home in downtown. Your pet would have access to the fully fenced back yard and the entire main house. My pets live in a separate studio and I can tend to their needs separately. For dogs, I am about a 5-10 minute walk to a couple different parks, one park is HUGE! We can easily go for an outing or stay at home and play in the backyard.
“Christina did a great job with our pup. She was extremely communicative and allowed my girlfriend and I to enjoy a day trip to the caverns/Guadalupe mountains with ease of mind.”
