“This was my first time booking with Megan, and I couldn’t be happier. She and her family are so kind and gentle with dogs—our pups felt right at home. We have kids the same age as hers, and since our dogs love children, the whole atmosphere was very comforting for them. Our usually timid standard poodle even warmed up to her husband right away, which says a lot! Our 11-month-old mini schnauzer had her first boarding experience and did wonderfully too. It’s clear Megan’s family are true dog lovers, and I’m so glad we found them. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah is beyond amazing. She really cares for the well-being of the dogs. Our Zoe seems to have had a great time with her and the other dogs. We recommend her without any hesitation. Nima & Georges”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
“Anna was great! She cared for our energetic adolescent poodle for a week. He had developed some diarrhea before we dropped him off. She monitored it and picked up meds at the vet which she administered. Our arrival back home was delayed a day, and Anna gladly extended Louie's stay. Daily photos and updates were much appreciated. I know Louie looks forward to his next visit!”
“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.”

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.
“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.”
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
“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.”
About: Going to college to become a Veterinarian to run my own clinic. Studying Animal Sciences and Rangelands. Have always owned Dogs or pets. Believes animals are better than being around people. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
“Rebooked again with Isabel. She does a wonderful job taking care of Lola. She keeps us updated and sends pictures. We will continue to trust Isabel with boarding. Thank you Isabel for providing us with a worry free getaway.”
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
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!
About: Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me since I've grown up with them my whole life. I’ve raised multiple pups from their first tail wags to their golden years, and I currently share my life with two of my own. This isn’t just a job for me — it’s a genuine passion. Every dog I care for is treated like family, receiving the same personalized love, patience, and attention I give my own. What truly sets me apart is my intuitive approach to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether it’s helping a nervous pup feel safe, engaging an energetic dog with play and structure, or providing extra comfort and gentle care to seniors, I adapt with heart and experience. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are always my top priority — and you can rest easy knowing they’re in loving, capable hands. Right now, I have a flexible schedule since I am in medical school and can study at home, which gives me the perfect opportunity to dedicate my time to your pet. Being around pets brings me joy, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve. In my home, your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and well-managed environment. I live in an house with two friendly dogs — one small and one medium-sized — who love to socialize and play. I always do a slow, supervised introduction to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also have crates and indoor fencing available to provide space or separation if needed, so your pup’s safety and comfort are always a priority. I’m also flexible and happy to care for pets in their own homes. Some dogs feel most at ease in their familiar space, and I do everything I can to keep their routine consistent — from feeding schedules to playtime and snuggles. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I treat every dog with the same level of love, attention, and respect I give my own.

“Pam & Katherine gave Such Great Care to our Furry Babies. Our flight got Canceled and we ended up getting home 1 day later than Expected, but they were More than Happy to go take care of our babies yet again!! They Treat our Precious Furry Babies with Tender Loving Care!! We will Most definitely be Using Katherine & Pam for future needs. We Highly Recommend their Services and Care!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“My cat is asking if Ren can live with us. He again took wonderful care of Sassy and the house. He sends creative photography updates, has excellent communications, is attentive to home care, and has a natural connection with animals.”
“I had a weird situation in which the person caring for my animals abandoned them. Michelle was amazing and accommodating, went to my home after maintenence unlocked my place, cleaned up the mess my stressed out old man kitty made in a tub because he was alone for 4 days. Took care of him and the other 3 at the last minute for a week so I didn't have to leave my job (loose my job) and fly home. I was the most stressed out I'd been in years! But seeing the pics she took of my babies eating fresh wet food and playing every day helped me so much. 10000% recommend her and appreciate her and Rover for being here!! This is great app. Being able to see them check in and out, they can post photos and communicate like texting. Really great and will use again instead of depending on family!!”
“Jennifer was very kind and did a great job taking care of our cats. She kept their health concerns in mind and responded quickly to my small concerns which I greatly appreciated! They were fed exactly as I requested and the pictures that were provided were super cute!”
“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!”
“My little kitty loved Kellie, which is a win! Kellie was great. She watched my cat for two weeks and made sure her water and food were filled. She also made sure the litter was cleaned every other day, which is more than what I usually do. She also watered my plants and took the trash out for me! My little fur baby definitely got some loving while I was away.”
“Amy did a great job watching our cat. Our cat can be a bit elusive, but Amy made an extra effort to connect with him and make him comfortable. She was also very helpful in offering to take care of plants & bring in package delivery. Daily pictures & texts made us feel comfortable. I would definately recommend Amy.”
“Rachel is sweet and so kind to the pets. I felt very comfortable going out of town knowing she would come check in on my cats. Excellent first experience with the app and Rachel’s services.”
“Bonnie is wonderful. The cats love her and can’t stop meowing about how she tends to their every need, apparently unlike their mum. She’s kept me updated on whether they’re eating well and feeling well. She even sends photos. The cats and I are very lucky to have found Bonnie.”

“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🥰”
“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.”

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, different breeds and sizes, I’ve helped with birth of puppies, nurture sick ones too. I am a dog adoption advocate. I am not working at the moment so my schedule is pretty open. I am currently looking for a job but not in a huge hurry. While waiting I will work at my dream job ☺️Dog sitting.

About: Hey pet owners! As someone who has never experienced life without a furry family member, I know just how much each and every one of you care for and love your pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian, he was in my life from birth until I was 11. During some of that time my family and I had seven cats - our two adoptive cats had 5 kittens - as well as an array of birds and fish. I now have my own pup and three cats so plenty of experience and would of course treat your pet as if it was my own. At the moment my schedule is very open. I do my best to adhere to my personal rule of not to leave the pets I care for for more than 4 hours at a time when in my care. If in my home, I do not leave the pets alone with mine until they have been supervised for a significant amount of time and have shown me that they get along. I also have two roommates, and I can almost guarantee that there will be someone home at nearly all times. In a clients home I try to make the environment and activities as normal for them as I can. But if you believe that when I’m with them it should be a treat for them I’m happy to take them on exciting new walks, check out new parks (for dogs) and spend time playing with them and giving them all of my attention.
“Megan and her adorable children took excellent care of Iggy! He came back happy and pleasantly tired. She is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Makes me feel very happy to know he is in such a caring place.”

It's never just a walk with me, it's an adventure! I guarantee complete satisfaction from wet noses to wagging tails. I work from home , I am available on most days I would love to have your best friends spend some time with me. I currently work from home so I will be with your pets all day other than running to pick up my 12-year-old from school, I take breaks to throw the ball and take them out for potty breaks and walks , plenty of room in my office space so they can lay next to me or be in the same room..They can rest or they just will know they are not alone. We have a very large yard that is fully grass so we could take them out to play. Fully fenced and safe. We have approximately a half an acre of fenced grass , lots of Space for them to run. We do keep our pets inside so if you have an inside pet they will be doing the same. They will be taken out for potty breaks .
“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. She is kind and was fully tuned in to the dogs. Sent me photos shortly after I left showing the dogs settled in. The dogs were clearly comfortable and not stressed at all when I picked them up. I highly recommend Jasmine and would request her again!”
“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.”
“Emily was wonderful with our energetic dog, Tallie. It is obvious that she is a dog lover. An added bonus is two friends (her two sweet pups) for Tallie to play with. A great experience and will definitely call on Emily again!”

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.
“Sasha is reliable, and prompt. She shared photos to keep my mind at ease and took our Pippin for a much needed park visit! She cuddled with the furbabies and has amazing communication! Sasha is highly recommend for Dogs, and cats- Our elderly cat (on meds) was well cared for.”

“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.”
“Ren is a delightful and reliable dog sitter! I was away for several week and I had peace of mind knowing my pups we in good hands with Ren. 10 out of 10 recommend Ren and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Anna was superb! She was very caring and loving with our elderly dog. Also, because she is studying to be a physician, she was an excellent choice in pet sitters to help walk our dog with arthritis and provide him with eye medication. She was very thorough and professional at all times, and very friendly. She always kept her word and arrived early and spent extra time. Our little dog fell in love with her! She asked numerous questions and made sure she provided exactly the care that we were asking her to do for our dog. Her photos and descriptions of each of the walks with our dog were very helpful while we were out of state. This was our first time using Rover. Anna earned an A+ with us! She made us feel very comfortable in our absence. We would definitely use Anna again, and so would our dog Guinness!”
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.

I am able to provide pets with an animal and child-free environment.
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: I have watched a large pack of dogs (13) at one point. I have my own dog to take care of. I've also watched my neighbors blue heeler and my aunts dogs and cats while she was away. Dogs seem to naturally gravitate towards me. I work part time at a hotel and I just recently graduated college. My husband and I are fixing to move and I figured this would be a good way to make a little bit of side money to help cover this move. I have my own 3 year old dog. He is amazing but can be a little wild. I have also looked after my neighbors dog and took care of my family friends dogs.
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*
“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.”
“We were very happy with Jasmine. She asked all the right questions during the meet and greet and was happy to take suggestions particular to our pups. We received a photo everyday of their walk with a map of where they went and for how long. Very good. We'll be happy to use her services again.”
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.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker! She took good care of my dog and was great with communication and sending me videos of my baby!! Definitely will be booking again!”
About: I have been fostering through the pound for the past four years and have had my own animals since birth. I have experience with almost every type of animal and love them all, even spiders! I have been watching my neighbors, friends and families animals since I was ten. I started bottle feeding kittens when I was six and have had a passion for animals since birth. I’m currently waiting to have brain surgery so I can’t have a job where I’ll have to take off. I am currently available any day and all the time! In my own home I have a 7 foot tall fence along the whole perimeter of my backyard. I have experience with crate trained dogs and dogs who are allowed out all the time. I can work with leash trained dogs and friends who are still learning. I have experience with dogs of all training levels and levels of friendliness. I currently have three cats of my own (all who I raised from a few days old) and two foster kittens who are almost a month old! I can accommodate for just about any style of parenting that makes you and your pet the most comfortable!
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. I prefer to work runs and hikes into my schedule anyway might as well have some sweeties to accompany me I’ve stayed at about a dozen homes and each client has put their trust in me not only to care for their pets but also their homes. Each have expressed great satisfaction and a job well done. Most clients requested continuous services after. (Will do holidays ex. Christmas , 4th of July, New Years, vacations.
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: 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.

“This was my first time booking with Megan, and I couldn’t be happier. She and her family are so kind and gentle with dogs—our pups felt right at home. We have kids the same age as hers, and since our dogs love children, the whole atmosphere was very comforting for them. Our usually timid standard poodle even warmed up to her husband right away, which says a lot! Our 11-month-old mini schnauzer had her first boarding experience and did wonderfully too. It’s clear Megan’s family are true dog lovers, and I’m so glad we found them. Highly recommend!”
“Caitlin was wonderful! She was great at sending pictures and communicating how are Stormy girl was doing. She made us feel 1000% comfortable with our dog being with her while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again.”
“Guillermo and Janet are amazing people. From the moment we got to their home our pups felt at home. They enjoyed playing with their fur babies and running around their beautiful resort?. If our dogs could speak, I’m sure they would say they can’t wait to go back to Tio Guillermo and Tia Janets house. Thank you so much Guillermo and Janet, I feel like we made some new friends. We highly recommend everyone that needs a dog sitter. Bendiciones~ John and Yvonne Garay ❤️”
“Anna was great! She cared for our energetic adolescent poodle for a week. He had developed some diarrhea before we dropped him off. She monitored it and picked up meds at the vet which she administered. Our arrival back home was delayed a day, and Anna gladly extended Louie's stay. Daily photos and updates were much appreciated. I know Louie looks forward to his next visit!”
“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.”

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.
“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.”
“Jennifer was so accommodating and took in Zuko when my last sitter cancelled on me! She has 4 Dobermans of her own so I knew she would be attentive and caring for my own. She slowly introduced them and had him inside the house the entire time, even let him sleep in the bed with her! She provided tons of updates and photos which helped ease my anxiety. Zuko had so much fun and I will definitely be booking her again in the future! ??”
“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.”
About: Going to college to become a Veterinarian to run my own clinic. Studying Animal Sciences and Rangelands. Have always owned Dogs or pets. Believes animals are better than being around people. I am home 24/7! I love being around my dog and my family! I love taking them on walks or to dog parks and giving them treats! Enclosed fence, our dog loves all other dogs, can give care attention and time need. Will offer treats willingly. We know the neighbors and our safe neighborhood!
About: I’ve volunteered at Safe Haven in the dog section and worked at the animal shelter in the cat section. I can do CPR on pets and know how to provide pills medication. Im currently working part time so I will be able to play with your pets. I also will be able to stay overnight and cuddle at night so that they do not feel lonely. I can also take them out on walks in the evening so that they can get their exercise and let out any excess energy. I have a fenced yard and also a designated room for them with crates so they can have their own beds. I also have extra water bowls and food bowls for them.
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 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!”
“Murissa took care of our Bella for a week. She provided pictures and videos daily. We will book with her next time we need someone to watch our fur baby. We highly recommend her to anyone considering leaving their fur baby with someone.”
“Natalie is great. We’ve used her a couple of times and would highly recommend her. Our dogs get a lot of attention and we get daily updates on how they’re doing.”
