Personalized care for your dog or cat - Tortugas
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Tortugas
“We had never left our pup with a “sitter” until we had to leave for a week to a place where we couldn’t take her. Sarah is the most amazing dog lover!!! Molly was so happy with her!! Sarah sent pictures regularly and Molly was more spoiled there than at home! We will never take her back to a kennel and every time, we can’t take her, she will be with Sarah!! It was so nice not to have to worry about her while we travelled!!”
“Louisa was great with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with someone and everything went well. She was very accommodating to our schedule. We are so grateful for her support.”
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.
“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 such wonderful care of our 7 month old Australian cattle dog,Tahlulah. His home is spacious and beautiful and he has such a kind heart. He was patient and understanding that she was still potty training, and he took care to verify any special instructions for her care. We appreciated the daily updates with photos of her having fun with her new friends. If we ever are in the area, and need a sitter, we will definitely book Guillermo again! 5 stars!”
“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.”
“Isabel was AMAZING to my 16 miniture dachshund. She sent me pics throughout the day and updates of what he was up to. He was very content and more importantly safe! Isabel youre the best!!! Furever greatful!!”
“Cheryl and her place is the best place to board your dogs. She is a dog trainer and it is very apparent that her and her son love animals. When I took my doggy, Muffin, the second time and she realized where she was at, she got so excited and that told me A LOT! I highly recommend Cheryl for boarding or daycare.”
“I left my 3 labs in boarding with Erika & her family for almost 1 week. I appreciated I could easily send and receive texts to her especially without downloading an app. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and videos on how they were doing. I appreciated Ericka's willingness to have flexibility to accomodate their needs. We really had piece of mind with her and her family giving our fur babies attention, comfort and love!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Natalie and her husband were great! We received a lot of pictures and updates that made us feel at peace that our baby was well taken care of, I will gladly consider using them again to take care of Mia.”
“Kathryn made us feel so at ease leaving our dog in her care. Her love for dogs is clear, and we loved that she has a big yard where all the pups can run and play. It was reassuring that our pup could roam freely and feel right at home, plus she gave him treats! She kept us updated daily with photos and has two very friendly dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Such a blessing to have come across Leo's profile. I couldn't be happier to have used his services. Our dogs trusted in him right away, and they enjoyed having his and his wife's undivided attention! Thank you so very much for your flexibility and constant updates. The pictures and videos were so appreciated. You truly put my mind and heart at ease. Racer and Rex know good people and will definitely be visiting again soon. From the bottom of my heart thank you for being so amazing and welcoming!”

“Ren is a fabulous sitter. Sassy is asking if he can live with us. He was so patient with her in allowing her to do her favorite thing, which is cuddle. He has a natural connection with pets. They sense his kindness. He was organized in preparing for the week and even brought Sassy samples of the cat toys that he makes with cat nip. He communicated daily about Sassy's status with super cute photos. He created new play opportunities for her with his catnip toys and the new paper bag! I came home to a super clean house! Thank you Ren!”
“Kellie did a great job! She updated us every day about our cat. The cat can be a little difficult when it comes to taking her meds but she was able to give it to her every day! Thank you!”
“Morgan took great care of my two cats when I was away! Sent photo updates every visit, played with them, gave supervised outdoor time on the balcony, and also watered our plants. Highly recommend!”
“Pam and Kathy were rockstar pet sitters for us! We had a water issue the first day they came over. They immediately called me to figure out how to turn it off and I was able to take care of it when we got home. They checked on/played with our cats and made sure they got their appropriate medications. Thank you!”
“Tommie was great! She stopped by a little early to make sure all the instructions were clear and was very communicative throughout! Will definitely contact her again in the future!”
“Allison did a great job! She was sweet, kind, and had no problem dealing with my outdoor cats. This was the first time I had to use someone other than friends or family to feed them & the experience went great.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my cats and the garden. The cats are happy and the garden looks great! Also, thank you for the extra above and beyond cleaning of the cat area.”
“Was so great with my kitties! She sent me updates every day and that made me feel much more comfortable about leaving them with a sitter for the first time! Super appreciate that she was willing/able to watch them over Christmas! If I ever need another sitter I will definitely be asking Emily!”
“Anna is a fantastic and reliable house sitter and pet drop in sitter. She is always on time and gives my pets their meds and potty breaks with play time. She took excellent care of my home and pets for a week, and does drop in visits for me as well. My pets all love her so much - even my extremely shy Siamese comes out to play when she comes over.”
“Again, Diana and Mark were wonderful with my pups! They treat them like royalty and pups totally love it! Highly recommend and will certainly call upon them for future drop ins.”
“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!!”
“Amy and Eli D. have taken care of my ragdoll kitty many times; over the past year. They are responsible and caring and take great pictures they send to me of Teddy! When I'm in a different country my cat is alone in my apartment, it is comforting to know I have Amy and Eli D. seeing him twice a day.”
“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!”
“Jasmine is fantastic at what she does, our ladies (cats) love her and know her so well they purr when they see her. So comforting to know when you have to go away and leave them that they are in the best possible hands they could be in. Thanks Jasmine for everything!”
“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.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Tortugas
“Sarah was wonderful to work with! I’m from out of town and needed help to watch my dog while I attended a function. Sarah was so communicative. Her yard and home are a wonderfully homey set up and all the dogs she had there when we dropped ours off were happy and playful. Sarah’s son was a greater helper! I wish they lived closer to where we live so we could work with her more. She was a lifesaver! We will be sure to return when we visit again!”
“Jasmine takes the best care of my Fancy! My dog LOVES going here and jasmine is the absolute best with communication and safety. She also patiently reinforces my puppy's training and manners which is so helpful 😊😊”

“Dalila took good care of my Ruby while I was away for the day. Sent me pics and videos of her. I am particular with whom I leave her with but felt she was in good hands. I would definitely have Dalila watch my baby again and recommend her as well. Thank you for taking good care of her!”
“Diana provided excellent care for our 2 Whippets! My dogs are needy and clingy- and I was worried about how they would adapt. Diana kept them happy and entertained- they were so happy with her! I am extremely pleased and look forward to many future stays. I am confident and secure leaving my precious family members with Diana🥰”
“Very pleased with Anna and her care of Loki. Loki was excited to see me, got home and was exhausted which is great since Loki is high energy. He played alot with her two dogs. Anna provided me with a recap of his day and photos! All in all very content. Thank you Anna and see you soon.”
About: Pet sitting is a great passion and pastime for me. I am committed to making an environment for your family member that feels safe and comfortable.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Tortugas
About: My whole life I've been surrounded by pets. I was born into a house with a bird and 2 dogs, but once I turned 5 I had convinced my mother to bring home a cat from the grocery store after absolutely falling in love. Years down the line I moved and eventually had 4 dogs that I walked, played with, fed, bathed and mostly took care of myself. With time I moved in with my brother to help him take care of his house with 11 guinea pigs, 3 cats, and a leopard gecko! Once I turned 18 I was finally able to adopt my own cat, and since then I have adopted another one and who brings me so much joy. I love all animals and will take care of yours like my own! I am free everyday, weekdays and weekends! I am willing to change my schedule around to fit your needs as Rover is my main focus at the moment! Safety is always my number one priority. I do my best to keep my eyes on pets at all times to make sure they're not doing something they're not supposed to or getting into things they aren't supposed to. For walks I will never just lazily hold onto the leash, instead I'll be prepared like they can run off in any second. When I feed pets I watch them to make sure they don't eat too fast and throw up, and try to encourage them to drink water as well as check to see if they need to go to the bathroom when they're done. If I'm watching a pet and they show any sign of distress it's of immediate concern to me and I will be contacting the parents, as well as a vet if needed. If you entrust me to take care of your pet I will ensure they receive the best care possible until their favorite people get home! :)
“Anna was lovely and so helpful when we were in a pinch. She walked and played with our two pups daily, arrived on time, and communicated regularly. Anna also went above and beyond what we asked of her. Super happy with the care she provided.”
“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: Can care for any type of cat personality, from love-y and playful to the skittish and scaredy. I also have experience administering medication for cats. Open to small dog care too! Graduating college going into working a freelance job, event-based so I have periods of free time and flexibility. Feel free to ask about my availability! I would care for your cat as if it was my own. I would clean the litter boxes and throw-up if your kitty is sick. I can administer pill and liquid medication for the mouth. Then I will also play with your cat as to make sure it gets its energy out, and even offer supervised outside time desired.

About: From bottle-feeding kittens to walking neighborhood dogs, I’ve always loved pet care. I house sit, feed, and walk dogs. I grew up with two pups of my own! Senior NMSU student with an open schedule and love for every animal. I am reliable for walks, tidy cleanup, and patient, loving pet care. Fridays-Sundays are open and all other days are flexible. I keep pets happy with energetic walks, playtime, or gentle care. I’m experienced giving medications and will support sensitive or senior dogs and cats with patience.
About: I have three years of experience working at a dog rescue, where I took care of anywhere from 10 to 100 dogs and puppies at a time! I grew up on a small farm surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, goats and chickens, and I helped take care of them from the time I was able to. Now, I have no pets of my own, but I love and cherish being able to shower other people’s pets with love and attention! My work schedule is one week on, one week off, and I travel during work days, so I am only able to care for pets on my off days. I love pampering pets that I’m taking care of and making them feel cozy and at ease while their owner is away. I love taking dogs for walks and live in a fairly quiet neighborhood.
About: I provide an safe haven for all my fury and non-fury friends. I provide an clean safe space and make sure all is provided for all my fury friends. One of my first job was house-sitting and taking care of necessities around the house as well as the owner's pets. I not only clean and help around the house but I also make sure the dogs are fed, getting in their exercise and etc. I also take them on walks and make sure they are comfortable with me first, because dogs can sense if people are actually decent and kind beings. I have always been around animals my entire life and would not mind getting a little dirty and fun with them. It's no fun when your always clean at least for a dog's point of view. Loll
About: I have been around a variety of animals most of my life. I am currently training my dog to be a service animal and have previously had a senior dog. With my senior dog, I provided loving care and support as his mobility changed. I am currently minoring in companion animal science, with the intent to become a physical therapist for animals. I am currently a full-time student at NMSU as well as a part-time employee at NMSU. My availability will vary depending on the semester. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the hours I am available. I can provide potty breaks throughout the day, afternoon walks, kennel them if needed, house sitting, and provide picture updates if you are missing your fur babies.
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.
About: I am always on time and I genuinely love taking care and playing with animals! Previously having my own dog has taught me many things about pet care. I have all the skills needed to provide great care and attention for your pets. I can provide walking services as well as at home pet care!

About: I absolutely love dogs and come from a family of dog lovers. For almost 40 years, I’ve adopted, rescued, and cared for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve worked at the Humane Society as an adoption counselor, and I’ve babysat countless dogs for friends and family — caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs with medical needs. My home is designed with dogs in mind. I have a very large, secure yard built so my dogs can’t get out and nothing else can get in. Inside, animals are treated like people — as part of the family. My own dog loves to nap in the sun and find cozy spots in every room, and your pup will feel just as welcome. I offer boarding, daycare, walks, hiking, and grooming add-ons like brushing and baths. You’ll receive daily photo updates, and I always follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions exactly. As an educator by trade and a compassionate individual, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a true passion for animals to every interaction. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle senior care, or just a safe, loving place to stay, I’d be honored to be their trusted sitter. I work full-time from home, so I’m here throughout the day and night to care for your pup. My large, secure backyard is always open, giving dogs the freedom to come and go as they please. Access to the backyard is available all day for the dogs and they can freely go in and out as needed. I have a safe and secure home where dogs are allowed on the furniture and in every room of the house. I do not smoke or do any drugs and will ensure the safety, love, and care of your dogs. My home is a quiet, calm, and serene environment.
About: Hi! I’m currently in school studying veterinary care, and caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve been surrounded by pets since the day I was born—from dogs and cats to small animals—and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends and family members, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on walks, giving medication, or just providing a little extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. With my background in animal care and my education in veterinary studies, you can feel confident your pet is in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. I know how much your furry family members mean to you, and I’m here to give them the best care possible while you’re away! I currently work full-time, but pet care is something I genuinely love and prioritize in my free time. I’m available for early morning and evening visits during the weekdays, and I have more flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. Even with a busy schedule, I always make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a morning walk, dinner-time or feeding, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after. When caring for pets, I always follow their specific routines to help them feel comfortable and secure. For dogs, I make sure they get the exercise they need with safe, enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and comfort. I also stick closely to their feeding schedule, ensuring they get the right food, portions, and any treats or medications they may need. When pet sitting or checking in, I spend quality time with them—whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company so they never feel alone or anxious. For cats, I make sure their litter is clean, their food and water are fresh, and they have a calm environment to relax in. My goal is always to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs for just over 6 years and ran my own petting sitting business before I moved. I can administer medicine, do training reinforcement, and care for senior dogs and dogs of all temperaments. I am currently a full time student but am taking a variety of online classes so I have lots of time during the weekday and weekends. This also allows me to be free in the afternoons often. I provide dependable pet care including daily walks, overnight stays, training reinforcement, and medication/wound care. I have consistently built lasting relationships with families through frequent, responsible service.
About: I am a proud owner of a 11 year old boxer/lab mix. I dedicate a lot of my time to my beautiful, smart and loyal baby and take him out for walks in the woods by our house. He loves to swim in the creek and stay close to me at all times. I know how to give dogs medication and have acquired so much patience having had aging dogs in the past and now a senior dog. Dogs know when you are sad, happy, lonely, frustrated, tired, etc. and sympathize with your overall emotions. I respect that, so I try to keep a positive environment for them. Can give oral medications and can take your dogs for walks at no extra cost. I also can bathe your dog at no extra cost upon requesting. Can't wait. I work from home so I am available 7 days/week. My husband is currently retired and I am in the process of retirement myself. I do have time to take care of pups and my husband's assistance is ideal. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly boxer/lab that is very socialized. I make sure the pups are safe at all times by checking on them outside, especially in the heat of the Summer time and making sure all their needs are met.
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.

“Louisa was great with our dog. This was our first time leaving him with someone and everything went well. She was very accommodating to our schedule. We are so grateful for her support.”

“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 such wonderful care of our 7 month old Australian cattle dog,Tahlulah. His home is spacious and beautiful and he has such a kind heart. He was patient and understanding that she was still potty training, and he took care to verify any special instructions for her care. We appreciated the daily updates with photos of her having fun with her new friends. If we ever are in the area, and need a sitter, we will definitely book Guillermo again! 5 stars!”
“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.”
“Cheryl and her place is the best place to board your dogs. She is a dog trainer and it is very apparent that her and her son love animals. When I took my doggy, Muffin, the second time and she realized where she was at, she got so excited and that told me A LOT! I highly recommend Cheryl for boarding or daycare.”
“I left my 3 labs in boarding with Erika & her family for almost 1 week. I appreciated I could easily send and receive texts to her especially without downloading an app. We enjoyed receiving daily pictures and videos on how they were doing. I appreciated Ericka's willingness to have flexibility to accomodate their needs. We really had piece of mind with her and her family giving our fur babies attention, comfort and love!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Natalie and her husband were great! We received a lot of pictures and updates that made us feel at peace that our baby was well taken care of, I will gladly consider using them again to take care of Mia.”
“Kathryn made us feel so at ease leaving our dog in her care. Her love for dogs is clear, and we loved that she has a big yard where all the pups can run and play. It was reassuring that our pup could roam freely and feel right at home, plus she gave him treats! She kept us updated daily with photos and has two very friendly dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Such a blessing to have come across Leo's profile. I couldn't be happier to have used his services. Our dogs trusted in him right away, and they enjoyed having his and his wife's undivided attention! Thank you so very much for your flexibility and constant updates. The pictures and videos were so appreciated. You truly put my mind and heart at ease. Racer and Rex know good people and will definitely be visiting again soon. From the bottom of my heart thank you for being so amazing and welcoming!”
“Nadine was wonderful. She had our boys for 8 days and made them feel right at home and loved for the holidays. It was great getting daily photos and having peace of mind that they were happy & well cared for!”
About: I do really well with pets, If ever I'm at a gathering and there's pets around, I'm usually with them instead of talking to humans. i am very extremely available basically everyday of the week. Heck, you can call me in the middle of the night when you're hungover at a friend's house and I'll watch your pet pets need love like everything does. I am very calm with animals. I tend to get close to them with a soft voice, never rough house or pet wildly to bother them. They respond very well to a calm demeanor
