Highly-rated overnight sitters - Valencia
“Thank you to Karen. She was wonderful with my dog Lulu. She kept me updated everyday with activities they did during the day. I was nervous leaving my Lulu for the first time and she completely put my mind at ease with the pictures and communication. Lulu loved Karen and the treats she sent home with us. Thank you and we will be back for another stay.”
“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”
“This is the first time I’ve used Rover and I really lucked out by selecting Bonni JN. as my boarder/sitter. My dog Murphy throughly enjoyed her stay, was well cared for and bonded immediately with Bonni’s dog and the two other smaller dogs she was sitting. Bonni was very thoughtful in texting me pictures of how Murphy was doing and reported to me everyday how she was eating, sleeping, and getting along with the other dogs. I will definitely be a repeat customer, in fact I have another reservation with Bonni in about a week. I highly recommend Bonni if you want peace of mind that your dog is well cared for.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Maellen. They took amazing care of my dog while I was away and treated them like family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. Kumar came back relaxed and content, which says it all! Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—I would highly recommend Maellen to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”
“Stephanie was great with my Poochie. She took care of him as her own. He seemed to be comfortable and at home while being watched, which gave me peace of mind, I will be using her again my next weekend out of town! 🥰”
“Jamie and Patrick were great with our dog while we were out of town. From the moment we met them we knew she would be well cared for and have plenty of playtime and attention. Jamie was great with communication and kept us updated with how she was doing and sent plenty of pictures as well. We will absolutely be booking with them again when the time comes.”
About: I've been caring for animals for many years and have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets with medical conditions that require close monitoring. My experience includes administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, monitoring behavior changes, and providing patient, compassionate care. I have experience caring more multiple pets in the same household and understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routines while their owner is away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving the owners peace of mind through reliable communication and updates. I treat every pet like my own and take pride in providing dependable, trustworthy care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I build my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they deserve. I understand the importance of consistency, so I make it a priority to follow each pet's routine and provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether its a drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I am committed to making sure pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. In my home. pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, and a clean, pet-friendly environment. I take time to play with them, monitor their behavior, and make sure they are comfortable throughout their stay. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely to keep pets on their regular routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication as needed, and providing companionship. I also make sure the house is respected and left cleaned while keeping pet owners updated with messages and photos so they can have a peace of mind while away.
“Combo seemed to have a great time over his overnight stay at Pat's. She made sure to accommodate his needs and energy levels accordingly. I felt at ease to see that he was doing well without his fur parents there.”
“Josephine did a great job with Archie, I was truly impressed, she went above and beyond, her dog Paco is lovely and sweet, don’t hesitate to book!!”
“Esmeralda and her family took very good care of our Spider. She sent us some photos and updates to stay connected which we really appreciate. She was also available with short notice and we would definitely let Spider stay with her again. When we arrived for pickup, Spider was relaxing in his bed in the living room, very calm and obviously very comfortable at Esmeralda's house. :) Excellent care”
“Patricia always does a great job taking care of my doggies. One of my dogs in particular is pretty emotionally sensitive, but seems to have a good time at Patricia's and always appears relaxed and happy in the pictures and videos Patricia sends. Patricia has also been able and willing to administer medicine and feed according to specific instructions. She was very flexible with us picking up the dogs later than anticipated after flight delays. Very happy we've found such a great sitter for our beloved dogs. She makes this part of traveling so much easier on me!”
“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”
“Savannah did an excellent job with Quantum. She spoiled him with treats and walks and we got daily photos and updates. It was great being able to know he was happy and safe while we were away.”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Celine was wonderful with our dog. She kept us updated on her stay as well as pictures every day. She’s really great with older dogs and let us know that our dogs interesting quarks follow her to her sitters. We rate Celine as a five star because of her flexibility as well as willingness to work with our dogs schedule. We will be rebooking with Celine for future stays!”
“First time boarding for my 9 yr old Terrier Mix. Was concerned about his reaction to other dogs but Anne integrated him beautifully and he did quite well. She sent pictures every day. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Chad was amazing with Dakota. We were skeptical at first because this was our first time having to leave our fur baby somewhere. Chad was responsive and caring. Definitely booking with him next time.”
“Hossanna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Azula. From the start, she was so accommodating and kind, and she even met with us for two walks before Azula’s stay, which made a huge difference in helping us feel comfortable. I have very detailed (and sometimes neurotic) instructions when it comes to my dog, and Hossanna never once made me feel bad about that. She was patient, understanding, and clearly cared about doing things right for Azula. She sent us many thoughtful photos throughout the stay, and it was obvious Azula was comfortable, happy, and safe in her care. If she would have us again, I would absolutely book with her, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust.”

“Seriously the most amazing sitter on this app. She goes above and beyond, we had an unforseen change in plans, and she made it work. She cares about all of the animals she watches and our fur babies love her. I can't say enough how amazing and how appreciative we are for her. Thank you Nicole!!!”

I have a fully fenced backyard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or roam freely in the house.
About: I have a passion for high-frequency experiences and environments as well as spreading positive energy wherever I go! Because animals are naturally more connected to existential energies, I find that spending time with them helps keep my frequency high and I can be of better service to the Collective! They have so much to teach us when we tune in... As owner of my previous pet sitting business, daily responsibilities included scheduling client visits, creating/sending invoices, walking/playing with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as other types of interesting creatures, cleaning up after them, feeding them, overhauling litter boxes, occasionally administering medications, and regularly communicating with clients regarding daily visits with their pet(s). When clients were away, I spent the night in their home with their pet(s), took out/brought in trash cans, mail, packages, alternated lights in the home, watered plants, gave the appearance that the home was occupied to increase security, and anything else asked of me within reason. Let me know what you need and we can work together to create a mutually beneficial plan! I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your furry family members! I will stay in your home with your pets where they are comfortable and familiar. All instructions will be followed regarding the safety of your pet(s) and I will be in contact immediately should anything unexpected occur.

“Brooke was wonderful with our kitty! She was a new kitty, so we were a bit nervous about leaving her, but everything went beautifully! Brooke played with her and sent pictures every day, so we knew she was being stimulated, looked out for, and cared for. Thank you so much, Brooke! Highly recommend!!!”
About: People laugh when I say "dogs are my only friends." Started in 2022, I never imagined this would become my full time job. Ive grown up around animals my entire life, from horses, cows, chickens, goats, fish, dogs and cats, so its truly an honor to be able to pursue something I love and care for so deeply. I have lots of experience in specialized care, from potty training, to senior care. My goal is to always make the dogs feels like home, and ensuring small controlled environments for a stress free stay, all while building their confidence, to maintain a happy healthy dog. I live on an acre fenced in with 5ft high piped fence all the way around. The yard is very secure. There is lots of room for dogs to explore and play. The property is shaded by a variety of trees. We have a mini swimming pool setup to cool the paws off during the hot summer months. We have a large concreted shaded porch. It is very cozy and welcoming. I do this full time as mentioned above, so I am around dogs pretty much 24/7, but some other passions I have is gardening. When you pull up to the property during spring and summer you will see that I have flowers hanging on every post on the porch. I also have a garden in the back fenced off from the dogs that I tend too. We also have chickens! (Dont worry they are completely safe and fenced in from the dogs and any other predator that would want to reach them.) I am licensed and insured as well as Pet CPR/First Aid certified. Some services I offer: In my home: Daycare and overnight pet sitting. At your home: Drop in Care. Please reach out to me if you have any questions! I do pet daycare and boarding full time. So you can imagine just how much of my daily life is revolved around dogs. I spend a majority of my days with them. I have a fenced secure yard, 5ft tall piped fence all the way around. My goal for in home sitting is to try and keep their routine the same as much as possible. We also have cameras setup and if we’re not at the home, the dogs are still monitored.
About: I’m a total animal lover who doesn’t mind being slobbered on! I love being active and going to the park or on long hikes. I can also just lounge around and cuddle if that’s what your dog needs. I have had pets my whole life and currently care for my English Bulldog, Scoop who I adore more than anyone! I’m able to give dogs medication without a fuss and I’m a local Herbalist who makes flower essences which my dog Scoop takes regularly for his emotional issues due to him being a rescue. I meditate quite frequently and I think dogs can sense that I have a calm demeanor and a love for them that is unconditional. I have a large, fenced yard with lots of shade that dogs just love.

I have a variety of pets and they all are very well cared for. All my dogs from large to small live on plush when they aren’t busy having fun and being active .

Perfect for high energy dogs - Valencia
“Miranda was great! My pup came home tired and happy! Miranda is very responsive, great communication and sent pictures and video. Lovely fenced yard and a well matched play group. Will definitely use again! Thank you.”
About: I am an animal lover and love having any kinds of fur babies over, even caged animals. Let my family become your fur baby family away from family. We will pay lots of attention to your fur baby and love on them and spoil them rotten. We are homeschool family so we are always home. We will treat your fur baby like one of our children. We have a fenced in yard and 5 kiddos who will give them lots of kisses and hugs. Your babies will be inside our home and will not be left outside for any amount of time, unless they are going potty or the kids are outside running around. we don't kennel pets unless its requested by the owner. I provide updates or pictures, even on occasion a video update. I offer long term pet sitting as well for as long as 6months to a year ect. Your babies would love to come back. I will follow any diet you ask or even give medication when needed. I am a stay at home parent/homeschool, so your babies will get alot of attention from all of us. We feed them on your schedule and if they are food aggressive, we can feed them away from other animals I have a fenced in yard, so dogs can easily run around and play fetch freely. We cuddle on the couch or in bed, and give treats. We can crate as needed and of you require it but we prefer bot to crate.
About: I've been around animals my entire life. We had family friends who lived on a farm and that place was like a second home to my sister and I. Alongside that, we had 3 family dogs. The first two dogs we had since I was about 5 and the other was given to me on my 10th Birthday. During the 13 wonderful years she was in my life, she had two full liters of puppies in which I was responsible to help my parents manage from birthing to selling them. I have the knowledge and skills to take care of older pets as my Miley got really frail in her older years. I am someone who has always had a deep emotional connection towards animals, dogs specifically. I believe that once you adopt, take in, or purchase a animal that they are automatically apart of the family. I am currently my grandmother's caregiver in the morning and in afternoon I work part-time as a CYFD Family Visitation Monitor. I care for my grandmother for 2 hours in morning and in afternoon I am gone anywhere between 3 to 5 hours depending on when scheduled in but am always back by 630ish. I live on half an acre fenced property so there is plenty of safe room for your dog/dogs to be entertained and loved on by my 2 sweet doggies and myself. I do have the means to crate easily if necessary, as well as, plenty of rooms and space if separate feeding is needed. I do have several water stations in my home, which I change daily, so your doggie will always have access to fresh water. At night, my puppy gets closed in my makeup room where her bed is with some water and toys to keep her company; while my older dog sleeps freely in the home. Every morning I wake up at 7, let dogs out while I get ready for my grandmother's, and then they get returned to crates while at grandmothers. After I get home from Grandmother's I let dogs out and feed them. After they eat, I let them outside and leave them out for a little depending on the weather. My house has several big dog toys which are constantly played with inside as well as out depending on the weather. And of course I have treats because you can never forget to reward the babies for good behavior and just to occasionally spoil them.
“Lauren was great. She greeted us on arrival and introduced her dog to ours. She kept us updated during the day by sending us photos of how our pup was doing. We would definitely use Lauren again when visiting Albuquerque.”
“Far and away a better experience than the first go on Rover. She kept us informed with text updates and pictures of the doggos. Sweet hounds and plenty of space to roam. Your dogs are safe in her hands!”
“My first time here on Rover and we had a great experience. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I found Leslie & James. The dogs were in great hands and I felt reassured they will be cared for from the get go.”
“Bonni was good with our little Havanese dog. I liked the yard area including some grass. Bonni was accommodating to our schedule of daytime/evening schedules. We took our dog with us at night. Thanks Bonni!”
“Tracy puppy sat my baby girl! She made the day stress free. She sent updates through out the day and my pup came home happy and content. I would definitely recommend.”
“I met Elaine and her doggies about a year ago. My dogs finally stayed at her house for four nights last month, and then for one day last week. My dogs had already met her dogs a year ago, and when they met up again, they were like old pals. No growling or hassling. It was perfect! I got daily updates and pictures from Elaine. It was so comforting! And my dogs did great at her house and with her dogs, and it was just the best! I booked a full-day stay last week, and they were literally going INSANE when we were driving into her neighborhood. That tells me a lot about their experience there! They love going to Elaine's house! Our next booking is during the Christmas-New Year's Eve time frame, and my dogs are already so excited, and Elaine has let me know that so is she, and she's gearing her doggies up for a week-long visit :-) My neighbors/friends that used to keep them all the time are moving back to NJ, so this is exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs at Elaine's, whether it's for a day or a week! This is the best thing EVER!!!!”
“Kimberly has been awesome and accommodating. Stella has had some medical issues which she has been so conscientious about. Also her fur babies are do loving toward Stella and enjoy her company that eases my mind more than I can articulate. She has been a godsend.”
“Michael was very helpful and accommodating. I believe he did his best with Rocco to keep him occupied. Rocco has separation anxiety, but Michael made the efforts to gain his trust in a limited timeframe. We were very appreciative with his services!”
“Melinda was very interested in getting to know our dog. She asked a lot of questions about his behavior, his personality, his normal day, etc. She was very concerned about making our dog feel like he was as much at home as possible. Peso seemed very happy when we went to pick him up. We would definitively recommend Melinda for dog sitting. She was quick to respond to messages, and she sent us a picture of Peso. We would use Melinda again if we are visiting Albuquerque in the future.”
“Cindy was great with my 2 year old baby. I sent Sandia for my 12 hour shifts and Cindy was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I got lots of picture updates. Sandia loved playing in the backyard with Cindy’s other dogs. She was so at ease during drop-offs, giving me peace of mind that she felt safe in Cindy’s home. Thanks again :)”
About: I’ve always had cats and dog from the time I was born. Over the last 10 years I’ve also gotten chickens, ducks, Guinea hens, turkeys, goats, horses, pigs, rabbits and Guinea pigs. There’s not much I haven’t dealt with or cleaned up. I only work part time and I am a mom of 4 children who all do rodeo. All 4 of my kids love animals and are super helpful when helping care for animals. My two teenagers are super responsible and do work themselves to help pay for their rodeo and things they want. We live on a fenced acre and a half. We have 4 dogs, 4 outside cats, poultry, 3 goats and 2 horses. All of our pets get lots of love and attention as yours would when in our care.
“In all my years of using dog sitters, no one has come close to Peter in terms of the care and love my dog received from him. Peter sent the best pictures throughout the day, and I was jealous of how much fun they were having. , He really did treat Bug like his own dog. I think my dog almost likes him better than me.”
“When I had Adam & Indy watch my dogs for the second time, my dogs and Indy were so happy to see eachother again like they missed eachother and one of my dogs even jumped on the couch to sit next to Adam to say hi. Clearly they were well taken care of and have new great friends! Definitely recommend Adam!!”
“Jamie was very friendly and communicated with me during the stay. She has young kids in the home for playtime with my small dog along with a friendly poodle of her own.”

About: I have grown up with big dogs since I was little as well as 2 cats! I’ve been with huskies and pomskies as well as labradors and shepherd dogs! I can take care of high energy and low energy dogs! I love cats as well! I know their temperament and how to approach them! My friends have had pit bulls which I do not discriminate against! I have helped with raising puppies and taking care of sick dogs, I promise to treat your pet with the utmost respect and care as if they were my own child! I am working part time at Starbucks and I work on Wednesday’s Thursday's and Sunday's, other than that I have morning classing Monday-Friday and I am good! I do online school so my schedule is very flexible for leaving in the mornings, and sometimes afternoons! At my home we have a big back yard and it is fenced in, we let our animals inside the house as well as outside, I don’t do pet care in my home because we have 4 big dogs and two cats and that would just be stressful on our dogs and cats as well as the dogs or cats I’m taking care of!
About: I'll he honest, I've only cared for other people's animals a couple times and it's been random and brief but it went great each time! I myself have had many animals and still do. Dogs, cats, chickens, goats, snakes…let’s not forget the kids. 😉 Totally joking, although they can be wild. 😏 I currently homeschool my 3 kids. I work part time and have a very open schedule. There's plenty of time for my kids and I to care for, walk, play or board your fur babies! I have a fence yard and a large dedicated dog run. It has tons of shade and space to run and play. I have 5 dogs to keep pups company. I can kennel or dedicate their own space as well.
“Karen is a caring dog enthusiast! My 2 Shih Tzus look forward to their mid-day break while we are at work. Karen sends cute pictures of my fur babies that just brighten my work day! I will use Karen many more times!”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I was a child! Growing up I was always convincing my parents that we needed a dog, and would play doctor and nurse animals that needed help back to health! I now have my own two dogs. Apollo- aka pupper boy, flopolopogas, or bubbas is our big playful boy who my husband and I adopted over a year ago! Siku, is our sweet and happy 7 month old pup who we just adopted a week ago (8/10/2024). I have a knack for nursing dogs back to health and giving them the love and affection they deserve while training them to the best of my abilities! As an animal lover, I understand that you have to be able to understand their emotional states (ex. anxiety, shyness, annoyance, aggression) based on body language and cues to know how to approach each unique situation to best care for your furry companion. 🐾💕 I am currently a full time online student at UNM, so am at my house most hours of the day! I have time to play and give affection to fur babies often in my day during study breaks, as well as ensure they are taken out for potty breaks when needed. I can walk dogs as requested based on schedules, and as for doggy day care and night boarding, your dog(s) will stay in my 1/3 acre yard and porch due to having my two fur babies of my own in the house. I have 1/3 of an acre for dogs to frolic and play, and have a portion of the yard gated off as a dog run which your dogs will be in when I have my dogs outside to ensure separation of animals. Our yard is fully fenced and we have a porch and plenty of trees for shade. I do not keep clients dogs inside my home due to having to fur babies of my own, and it being a small space.
About: I have a passion for high-frequency experiences and environments as well as spreading positive energy wherever I go! Because animals are naturally more connected to existential energies, I find that spending time with them helps keep my frequency high and I can be of better service to the Collective! They have so much to teach us when we tune in... As owner of my previous pet sitting business, daily responsibilities included scheduling client visits, creating/sending invoices, walking/playing with dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, as well as other types of interesting creatures, cleaning up after them, feeding them, overhauling litter boxes, occasionally administering medications, and regularly communicating with clients regarding daily visits with their pet(s). When clients were away, I spent the night in their home with their pet(s), took out/brought in trash cans, mail, packages, alternated lights in the home, watered plants, gave the appearance that the home was occupied to increase security, and anything else asked of me within reason. Let me know what you need and we can work together to create a mutually beneficial plan! I look forward to meeting you and spending time with your furry family members! I will stay in your home with your pets where they are comfortable and familiar. All instructions will be followed regarding the safety of your pet(s) and I will be in contact immediately should anything unexpected occur.
About: I am great with animals I get along with all dogs old and young. I have taken care of dogs over night before and I am super responsible. I don’t mind taking them on walks or even runs to get them exercise or so they can just stretch their leg. I currently just finished high school and I’m not working any full or part time jobs so I have plenty and lots of time to spend with your animals. I get along great with all animals and will do as instructed. I will happily take them on a walk/run and will play with them to get some energy out. I’m very friendly, flexible, and responsible.
About: I've been around animals my entire life. We had family friends who lived on a farm and that place was like a second home to my sister and I. Alongside that, we had 3 family dogs. The first two dogs we had since I was about 5 and the other was given to me on my 10th Birthday. During the 13 wonderful years she was in my life, she had two full liters of puppies in which I was responsible to help my parents manage from birthing to selling them. I have the knowledge and skills to take care of older pets as my Miley got really frail in her older years. I am someone who has always had a deep emotional connection towards animals, dogs specifically. I believe that once you adopt, take in, or purchase a animal that they are automatically apart of the family. I am currently my grandmother's caregiver in the morning and in afternoon I work part-time as a CYFD Family Visitation Monitor. I care for my grandmother for 2 hours in morning and in afternoon I am gone anywhere between 3 to 5 hours depending on when scheduled in but am always back by 630ish. I live on half an acre fenced property so there is plenty of safe room for your dog/dogs to be entertained and loved on by my 2 sweet doggies and myself. I do have the means to crate easily if necessary, as well as, plenty of rooms and space if separate feeding is needed. I do have several water stations in my home, which I change daily, so your doggie will always have access to fresh water. At night, my puppy gets closed in my makeup room where her bed is with some water and toys to keep her company; while my older dog sleeps freely in the home. Every morning I wake up at 7, let dogs out while I get ready for my grandmother's, and then they get returned to crates while at grandmothers. After I get home from Grandmother's I let dogs out and feed them. After they eat, I let them outside and leave them out for a little depending on the weather. My house has several big dog toys which are constantly played with inside as well as out depending on the weather. And of course I have treats because you can never forget to reward the babies for good behavior and just to occasionally spoil them.
About: I have owned diabetic dogs and one with epilepsy. Friends and coworkers always ask me to watch their furbabies because they know how good my husband and I are with our own. They trust us and coming from someone who rarely traveled and when I did I took them with me because I don't trust others would take care of them like I do. I understand the anxiety that comes with having to leave them behind for whatever reason. Knowing they will be loved and have fun makes it that much easier for both you and your pet. Safety and security are also most important to us so rest assured they will be okay. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband's business is from home so we are both always here. We never leave for more that 3 hours due to our 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run around. My brother also lives across from me and has over an acre of running room as well if needed. My husband and I work from home and are always available. We used to have dogs with medical issues and couldn't really leave them with anyone. My husband and I love animals and know how hard it is to leave them anywhere. Even at petsmart hotel they stay inside a small area and the play area isn't that big. We work from home and are never away longer than 4 hours. We have a 2 year old who is really good with the dogs as well but Rest assured we never let her play with them unattended. We have a large yard for dogs and know that they will be taken care of and loved while visiting us. All pets need love and attention. Even pet hotels leave them alone overnight and the thought of them having to hold it or use it in their space to feel ashamed is aweful. With us you get peace of mind and that's priceless In my home they will be treated like our own. They can play outside as long as they want. They scratch on the door ahead. They want in or out. They sleep inside on our bed with us of course. We want them to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. My dog buddy sleeps in his cage when he stays with others because he feels safe there so we understand everyone is different.

“Thank you to Karen. She was wonderful with my dog Lulu. She kept me updated everyday with activities they did during the day. I was nervous leaving my Lulu for the first time and she completely put my mind at ease with the pictures and communication. Lulu loved Karen and the treats she sent home with us. Thank you and we will be back for another stay.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Maellen. They took amazing care of my dog while I was away and treated them like family.

Reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring—I would highly recommend Maellen to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter.”

“Cecilia was an excellent last minute sitter for my dog for the weekend. She was communicative and provided lots of photo updates each day. I know he was loved and cared for in my absence.”
“My dog Ariel had a very good stay at Mike’s. She is usually scared of men and prone to separation anxiety. She felt right at home with Mike! Communication with him was easy, his home is great to host and the neighborhood seems safe for dog walks. I would trust him with my precious companion again!”
“Savannah did an excellent job with Quantum. She spoiled him with treats and walks and we got daily photos and updates. It was great being able to know he was happy and safe while we were away.”
“My biggest grudge is when someone expresses when they only gave one star " cuz they couldn't give any less"... When do we support local business and recognize our community for the good that surrounds us? !!! Recognize beauty people!!!!! This man is the real thing; a dog whisperer through and through. Incredibly kind, greeting my pup with a treat at first meet. Communication is HUGE for me. Pics were shared - almost immediately - and direct messages were alleviating. We all want to know our loved ones are in the best care. Michael is communicative, engaging with the guests, and truly, one of a kind. I'd book him immediately, if he doesn't forget my little girl...”
“Joshua is great. He's a natural with dogs, and it's obvious he loves them! I HIGHLY recommend Joshua and his home for extended boarding. He has a very large yard for play, and the dogs love it! I travel a lot, and I will be using Joshua every time. My puppy, Mocha, made a new friend with Joshua's dog, Blitzen. Immediately, they became friends and were inseparable for seven days. Thank you, Joshua!!! My wife and I are very grateful for the care you gave Mocha!!!”
“Celine was wonderful with our dog. She kept us updated on her stay as well as pictures every day. She’s really great with older dogs and let us know that our dogs interesting quarks follow her to her sitters. We rate Celine as a five star because of her flexibility as well as willingness to work with our dogs schedule. We will be rebooking with Celine for future stays!”
“Chad was amazing with Dakota. We were skeptical at first because this was our first time having to leave our fur baby somewhere. Chad was responsive and caring. Definitely booking with him next time.”
“My puppy had a great time at Debbie's! She sent me pictures every day which helped me deal with our separation. She's obviously a very caring sitter and I will definitely use her next time I need a sitter.”
“Rachel was great. I was nervous to leave my new kitten as she was still very young, Rachel was knowledgeable and I felt safe leaving Bianca with her. She was very attentive to messages. Gave me updates and pictures everyday. Would definitely use her again if the need arose.”
“Leslie & James are great pet sitters and take good care of my dog Zulu when I have to travel. They are very attentive and give me updates with photos and videos on a daily basis. I highly recommend them!”
“Drop off and pick up was easy because Vanessa was flexible with the times. Vanessa has a welcoming home and asked if the dogs were allowed in the bed with her; a simple question but it was good to hear that she would respect our boundaries. Our pups came home happy.”
“Doug did a great job taking care of my German Shepherd's. I have never used this app before and he eased my mind by sending me updates and pictures. The dogs came back home, healthy, and happy.”
“Onrae did a great job watching Daisy for me. She was a recent rescue, who was a stray and still getting acclimated to her new life. I had to go out of town for a few days and was concerned about what I was going to do. Onrae was easy to communicate with from the start with the meet and great, sent photos and videos daily. She had a great time and came back just as happy as I left her. I would definitely use him again”
“Kate was great! Our last sitter moved out of Albuquerque and Kate was able to watch our Gambit on short notice. She took great care of him and sent pics. Thank you, Kate! 🐾❤️”
“Wendy was great. She sent me pics of him, gave me updates of the situation, and asked if there was anything else she could do to keep Almond comfortable. Wendy let me know immediately that Almond started howling in the middle of the night. I wasn't sure what was going on since he never did that at home. My initial thought was he was missing me and home. And because of his age, I believe he got disoriented and lost and couldn't identify where he was at. Wendy did follow the instructions I left and asked if there was anything more she could do. I appreciate Wendy giving Almond the extra care he needed. Thanks again..”
