Personalized care for your dog or cat - Yrisarri
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Yrisarri
“Highly, highly recommend Rosalia. She provided great daily updates with multiple photos, and I could tell my dog was very happy and comfortable in all of them. We also always have a sense of how things went when we pick him up, and that also made it clear that he'd enjoyed Rosalia's! Couldn't have been more perfect. She also has a very secure setup at her home, so, even though our dog has tried to make a run for it in the past due to his high prey drive, we didn't worry about that one bit when he was with Rosalia!”
“Misty, our German Shepherd had a great time running around at Jessie’s for 5 days. Jessie did a great job of keeping us informed with daily updates and pictures of the dogs having fun. Thank you again!”
“Maellen is a dream! She sent pictures and videos every day and took the best care of our little pugs. Highly, highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again (Jeffery and Waffles miss her already!). Thank you!!”
“This was our second booking with Bonnie and just like the first time our two fur kids were well loved and cared for. We appreciate knowing we had a safe and comfy place to leave them when we were gone.”
“Debbie was great. I had to change my reservation several times and she was so accommodating to work with me. I have already booked her for another stay for Peanut. I will definitely be using her a lot!! Thanks Debbie!!”
“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.”
“Josie, Peter & Paco treated my pup so well while I was out of town! They were super flexible and made my dog feel right at home- I’ve really never seen him so comfortable in someone else’s space! I got plenty of updates and my dog is tuckered out from all of his playtime. Definitely will be booking with them again next time we are out of town, so glad to have found them through Rover.”
“Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”
“Jamie & Patrick H were absolutely wonderful with my dogs while I was away. This was my first time using Rover, and they made the entire experience easy and stress-free from start to finish. They took excellent care of my pups and communicated with me every day, sending updates that really helped put my mind at ease while I was away . It was clear my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will 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! 🐾❤️”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
About: I've been caring for all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles and Macaws. I've also volunteered at bird reacues and animal shelters in both New Mexico and Iowa. I have experience in animal training and Im currently an at home student at CNM so I have plenty of time to entertain and care for your pet. I enjoy making pet care a full time part of my life. I have a large fenced in back yard perfect for safe running and playing. It's got a nice spacious grass lawn with pet safe plants. The inside is pet safe and proof for your animals safety.
“I can't say enough good things about my pup's stay with Pat! I picked him up healthy and happy and better socialized than before! I've had my 17lb nervous whippet for 4 months. I was a bit scared to leave him for the weekend... but this was the perfect fit. He got along great with Pat's 4 doggies, which I could tell through 2x/day text updates. She even let him sleep in her bed, which he loves to do! Thank you Pat! Bingo will be back soon to see you and your pups! And btw- Pat is a lovely person- gentle, knowledgeable, flexible and kind... exactly the person you'd want caring for your furry friend.”
“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..”
“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.”

Cat caregivers near you - Yrisarri
“Emily is very responsible, timely and dependable. I'm super happy she could help me with my kitty. My cat liked her a lot. She followed my instructions exactly. I felt really good about her care and plan to ask for help again in the future.”
“Shantae was awesome! Filled in last minute to watch my cat and took wonderful care of her. She sent plenty of pictures/updates and returned the house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend her!”
“Tammy and her husband did a great job of taking care of our pets, even during an ice storm. She also reached out to us during a power outage with questions. Would be happy to have her come by if/when we go away again.”
About: I have been pet sitting since my early teens watching all my neighbors' animals. I've always been an animal lover and you can see it quickly in how your animals will respond to meeting me! I've adopted several dogs and cats in my time, and I am well versed in dealing with most conditions, including giving medication to an unhappy pet. My pet services aren't just about making sure your pet is alive, feed, and pottied. Their emotional well-being is just as important to me and I take the time to play and get to know each of my pet clients. I currently am a stay at home mom and am available to check in on your pets throughout the day and evening as needed throughout the week. I'd love to have continuous clients so that I can better serve you and your pets as I get to know them each better! The services offered by me would be in your home (aka your pet's safe space) or on walks in nearby neighborhoods or parks. I will take the time to make sure your pet is played and socialized in the manner they are most used to!
About: Hi, I’m Renee—your cat’s new favorite human (even if they pretend not to care). 🐈⬛ I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life—from lap-loving purr machines to fiercely independent under-the-bed dwellers. I admire their perceptiveness, their independence, and their ability to set boundaries without apology. Cats don’t need constant attention, and I respect that. But when they do want affection, I’m all in—whether it’s petting, playtime, or just sitting quietly nearby. I’m completely comfortable with litter box duty, giving medications, and tuning into the subtle cues that tell you when something’s off. I believe cats are family, and I care for them with the same gentleness and respect I’d want for my own. Whether your kitty is social, shy, spicy, or somewhere in between—I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was 12… from dogs, to cats, to horses. I volunteered for a no kill animal shelter as a teenager where I cared for, exercised, and assisted in adoption efforts. I’m relied on by neighbors and friends to walk and care for their animals and look forward to caring for yours. Animals truly hold a special place in my heart. I have a flexible work schedule which allows me plenty of time to care for your animals. I enjoy walking and hiking in the mountains with my dogs and look forward to incorporating yours. I have a fenced yard with 2.5 acres of land. I have a section fenced off in the backyard for smaller animals. I have two friendly dogs for your animals to play with.
“Lilly is fantastic! She has come to our home multiple times over the past few months to take care of our husky / pit mix. Our dog loves her and I love feeling confident that Lilly has got things under control! She makes sure to send me updates and cute pictures and is perfectly communicative. I couldn’t recommend her services enough!”
“She handled my miscreant kitties beautifully (they get to go outside and sometimes don’t come in when planned but this was not an issue with Shelly)! I returned home to happy cats and that’s what it’s all about.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life from german shepherds to dachshunds . The only time I can recall not having a dog was the first couple years in the Navy because I was out to sea so much. I love dogs of all sizes! I currently have a 10 year old weimaraner of my own Ari. So your precious pup will have someone to play with while staying with me. I take my own dog on walks/hikes, to dog park, runs, and swimming when we can find water for her. For being in Navy veteran and nurse, I am responsible and will take good care of your pup. Plus, there is vet not even .25 miles from home, if something where to go array which is not likely. Can't wait to meet you and your pup! I am currently in masters program and working remote and essentially here all day with them. Plenty of potty breaks and walks to come. Safe friendly neighborhood I have a fenced yard and lots of easy safe walking my neighborhood. I can crate them if you prefer but they are allowed on furniture here.
“Rita sent pictures and videos everyday as she cat sat for us. Our cat is not as anxious as she was when we left her alone over a weekend. She is still healthy and did not cling to us too much when we came home. I recommend Rita and will be looking to see if she's available first for future bookings!”
“Lauren was a great sitter for our cat when we had to leave her for about 2 weeks! This is the second time we've had Lauren look after her, and we would be happy to hire her again.”
“Kienna made us feel good about trusting her to take care of our kitty while we were out of town. Her communication was great, and she was prompt to respond to questions. She gave our cat the love and attention he needed. We will not hesitate to have her sit for us again.”
“Spencer was a great communicator and authentically excited to spend time with our senior cat, Cash! Cash warmed quickly to him and said he had a lot of fun with Spencer. Thorough updates and pics, I felt comfortable and relaxed knowing he was being taken care of!”
“Ashley was so great with my two cats! I really appreciated her sending photos of her check-ins and sending messages after every visit. I felt so much more comfortable being out of town knowing she was giving them love and attention! Would 100% recommend!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Yrisarri
“Paige has made this experience a dream for Eivor and my family. We can breathe easy knowing how well taken care of he is and how much he is loved. The environment couldn’t be more perfect for Eivor. Paige is such a blessing! I am beyond grateful!”

Finding one’s self with little to do after retirement, caring for animals just fit in so well and what a stress reliever these fur babies are. 😄 I have double fenced in areas, with all sizes of houses. My preference is to care for animals in their own environments. They are Less stressed at home.😉

About: My name is Melody ... I was born to care for pets especially dogs !!

“They did a wonderful job with Koko. They took her for a walk, gave her belly rubs and sent multiple updates and pics. She is a nervous girl and they were very reassuring. She seemed very well cared for and I would absolutely leave her with them again.”
“Kim is WONDERFUL!! She is always accommodating and loving with my two fur babies “Finch” & “Cash.” They always know where they’re going when we drive towards her house lol Kim is always understanding and accommodating when I’m running later than usual to pick up my fur babies. I cannot appreciate her more! Finch & Cash always look happy and wiggly when I pick them up :)”
“Celeste was warm, friendly, and kind with Oreo, who is still getting used to doggy daycare. She made sure Oreo felt comfortable. Her dog Murphy was as gentle and welcoming, which really helped Oreo adjust. I’m super grateful for the care and looking forward to having Oreo stay with Celeste and Murphy again. Thank you!”
“James has been awesome with foster George (AKA Houdini) who has been on the euthanasia list 3 times. . . and his next time will be his last. George is the sweetest dog ever but his escapism has been problematic. James has been his life saver while I am at work, and has provided George playmates and activity throughout the day. James is DEFINITELY worth considering if you need care for your dog. . . (Just don't steal George's spot. . . We need James.)”
About: Hello! Thank you so much for considering me to care for your furry friends. I've always been a huge animal lover and enjoy helping people. I have a fully trained Belgian Malinois and a sweet Siamese cat, both of whom are my babies. I promise to treat your pets with the same love and care. If your dog pulls on the leash, that's not a problem at all! I'm tall and strong, and I'm confident in my ability to handle even the most determined pups. With your permission, I can also incorporate some proven training exercises from professional trainers to help improve their leash manners. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely love and have plenty of experience with. Animals are so pure and full of love, and I strive to be the kind of person they deserve. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur baby, I'll ensure they receive all the love and proper care they need. I hope you choose me, and I look forward to meeting your furry one(s) soon! Thank you! ❤️ 🐾 Now Offering a Private Sniff Spot for Your Pup! 🐾 Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a visit! 🐶💛 I work from home remotely so I’m available all week. Some times I do have to go in the office for a week, but that’s typically only once a month. Just let me know what you need and I can make it work! Whatever your fur baby might need; walks, check ins, feeding, water, medication, exercise, exta love & attention, the list can go on just you let me know and I'd be more than happy to be the one to do it! 😁
“Adam was a great pet care provider for day care for our 4 year old BC. Adam promptly answered our texts when we arranged booking and for drop off. He ixx AC a friendly and personable guy. His dog a Aussie was friendly and playful. This was a great experience and we highly recommend Adam for your pet care needs. Great Job! Thanks”
“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!”
“What an amazing peace of mind!! My dog came back happy and so well taken care of! Will be booking again!! Thank you so much for your love and care to animals!”
“I had such peace of mind leaving my dog with Charles for doggy daycare. Charles updated me regularly with photos and accommodated my variable drop off and pick up times. I will definitely utilize Charles again!”
“I needed a last minute sitter for bear while she recovered from surgery, Lauren was able to watch her for the day! She did great helping bear feel comfortable and i was able to go to work without having to worry about her.”
About: I have a 5-year old dog, Roxy, who is very sweet and loves making new dog friends. We live in a home with a fenced-in yard and about one block from a park that is great for dog walks. I can provide a large crate if needed. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I’m typically available for contact unless I’m in a meeting, but will respond soon after. Roxy gets backyard playtime and walks around the park daily. She eats one large bowl of food in the evening and also receives treats. Of course I can accommodate your dog’s schedule and needs.
About: I can stay at your home or I can board your pets at my home (boarding only if you have small lap dogs). For boarding, I keep your pets indoors with our pets in our personal living space so your pets should be clean, house-broken, and tolerant of children. We have a very clean home with mostly red brick tile throughout (except for the bedrooms which have white carpet). We have a small doggie door which enters into a small fenced area (4'x12') for self-potty breaks while we are at work (if your dogs know how to use a doggie door). We can also close this door if your dog is an escape artist. Our home is located in the east mountains off the Zuzax exit (about 15 minutes from Tramway Blvd). We both work (I have summers off) so we come to Albuquerque every day via I-40 and would be happy to pick up your pet at a meeting location if the drive is a pain for you. We have a huge horse barn and several acres as our backyard. We have a mini-horse, three mini goats, three chickens, two small dogs, and a cat. Why is my rate so reasonable you ask? Because we don't do this to make a living. Getting to care for other peoples furry children brings much happiness & joy to our lives too. If it was a pain in the rear, we'd charge much much more. But it's not, it's a treat for us. I also automatically donate 5% of my pet sitting fee's to K9's for Warriors via Rover.com. K9's for Warriors provides service canines to warriors suffering from post-traumatic stress and/or traumatic brain injury as a result of military service. About this sitter: I'm a married mother of two children, and many animal children. I work full-time as a social worker. Caring for pets is a natural extension of my care of humans. Why I love dog sitting: I've been a dog lover since I was little. My families Norwegian Elkhound had puppies when I was 2 years old and I have pictures of my twin sister and I being so in love with them and carrying them everywhere we went. When I was 19, I bought a dog book and combed the pages looking for my best K-9 match. I ended up getting a Shih Tzu and a Brussels Griffon. 20 years later, we now have Budrow, my 14 year old Norfolk Terrier mix, Gracie, my 2 year old mini-Australian Sheppard/mini-Poodle mix, and a 4 year old sweet long hair female cat named Aphrodite. They are all best buddies and they enjoy having furry houseguests. Meet my pets: We have one mini-horse, three mini-goats, three chickens, 2 small dogs, and a cat. About my yard: We have a huge backyard (5 acres), some areas are fenced some are not. If your dogs are diggers, I'd worry that they might get into the chicken coop or the goat area. We do not want to host large outdoor dogs at this time, until we get proper sturdy fencing around the entire property. We are currently only hosting indoor lap dogs at this time. My experience administering medication: Yes, I will administer medication (including shots) unless a dog bites or gets squirrely. I accommodate your pets needs around my work schedule. In the Fall or Spring I occasionally have my teenagers sports events or meets to attend. I treat you pets like my own and if I’m caring for your pets in my own home they will be included in my regular life, living room time (sunning windows, movie nights on the couch, etc), grass time, playtime, sleep time, etc.
“Amazing amazing amazing ! Very amazing communication and stormy absolutely loves her and her daughter ! The space is amazing for pets and love how many updates she gave”
“Paul & his wife are the best caretakers I’ve had. Our dog, Grey, loved them because they loved her like she was their own. Thank you very much, Guys! A+++”
“I was visiting town and needed a last-minute dog daycare option, and she was fantastic. She was very responsive and took the time to meet me and my pup beforehand, which made me feel comfortable right away. My pup was tired from the day and all the activities, but she handled her with both care and confidence. She quickly became part of the pack, played with the other dogs, and came back happily exhausted. She also sent photos and text updates, which I really appreciated. I especially liked how attentive she was with my pup’s prescribed medication. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was safe, cared for, and having a great time while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Spencer was incredible with Trident and me as well! I was so anxious to leave her for the first time and she came home happy and tired! I am so grateful to have found Spencer and Trident will be happy to spend a day there again I have no doubt!”

“Emily is an amazing pet care giver. She reliably walked and/ or played with my dog for two weeks. She was very patient with him in the beginning as they got to know one another and now they are best buds. She updated me daily on his care and habits. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her services.”

About: With a mother who works as a vet tech and a household full of elderly dogs, I’ve learned to spot subtle changes in behavior, administer medications with care, and handle everything from puppy energy to the gentle needs of a blind senior dog. I’ve been pet sitting since high school, caring for cats, dogs, horses, and farm animals—and I treat every animal like the innocent soul they are. As a mom of five, I’m no stranger to messes, and I genuinely don’t mind the less glamorous parts of pet care—poop scooping, litter box cleaning, or giving meds. I believe animals are family, and I show up with patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing spirit every time. Whether your pet is playful, shy, aging, or in need of extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of flexibility in my schedule during the week, so most of the time I can attend to your pet with very short notice and flexible hours. While weekends are typically reserved for family time, I may be able to make exceptions with a little more advanced notice than what I would need on weekdays. I have no barriers to early morning check-ins. I care for pets in their homes, acknowledging that it is their space and not mine and as a homeowner myself, I will treat your property with the upmost respect. I will use any information you share with me about your pet’s likes and dislikes and dos/don’ts in regard to your home space to make sure that your animal is comfortable and given consistency that matches their regular routine.

About: I am a former zookeeper and I have a couple of years experience in veternary care. I’ve had animals of all kinds my entire life. I live with my husband and we both love spending time with animals. I work for the film industry and would love to pet sit your pet while I’m in between jobs. Productions have slowed down a lot over the past few years, so I have time currently. I have a larger fenced in yard that can actually be divided into 2 separate yards. Pets are allowed on our furniture and encouraged to sleep in the bedroom with us at night.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life, from Yorkies to German Shepherds. Providing the love and care to other dogs while you’re away is my priority! To give you the peace of mind your fur baby is both physically and mentally stimulated during our time together. I am very active, love going on hikes and finding new parks in the area! I am in the end of my surgical residency making my schedule relatively flexible. While I am unable to have a dog of my own full time, I can care and love for others in the mean time! While I do live in an apartment, there is a park with walking trails right across the street that I walk daily. Staying active is an essential part of my life!

I am punctual, dedicated, and stay highly communicative with regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. I truly believe pets are family, and I take their care seriously, especially when it comes to patience, routine, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

My goal is to give you genuine peace of mind while you're away.
About: I currently provide dog-sitting services for coworkers, elderly neighbors, and friends. I don’t get enough bookings from people I know, so I’m joining Rover to hopefully get some more opportunities. My background includes working at an animal hospital, where I was primarily responsible for boarding dogs and cats of various sizes and ages. My duties encompassed walking, feeding, playing with, and maintaining the cleanliness of the kennels. Additionally, I undertook tasks such as bathing animals and caring for newborn puppies and kittens. I also look after my family’s cat and my partner’s dogs, both of whom present challenges due to their dog-aggressive behavior. This experience has fueled my ongoing commitment to studying dog behavior and training techniques to enhance my caregiving skills and better support the animals I look after. I will be fully dedicated to your pet’s wellness and happiness if you book with me! My fees are based on experience, gas expenses, and the work itself. Tips are greatly appreciated as there is a huge service fee on here. Thank you :) Right now, I work full time from 8:30 to 4:30, but I am fully available during evenings and early mornings. For any at home care on the weekends, I will have to leave for 2 hours to check on my own dogs while my partner is at work. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. In client homes, I am trusted with overnight stays and have consistently managed multiple animals without any issues, ensuring they are comfortable, secure, and well-cared-for in their familiar surroundings. In my own home, I adhere to a disciplined routine, particularly with dogs, to maintain a sense of order and security. This includes scheduled feeding times, walks, and play sessions, which helps in managing their energy levels and maintaining their health. My cat, Beans, enjoys a more flexible routine, which suits her independent nature. She's free to set her own pace throughout the day, though I ensure her needs for interaction and care are met. Overall, my approach is based on respect, patience, and attentiveness to the unique personality and requirements of each pet, ensuring they feel loved and at ease under my care.
About: After having three dogs for many years, I am an expert at walking more than one--with expandable leashes, it's like flying three kites at once! In addition to long (or short) walks, I also like snuggling with pups on the couch. I currently have one 20-pound pup who gets along with almost all other dogs and loves having guests. For boarding and daycare, a meet and greet is a must. I have a very flexible work schedule and I mostly work from my home. I love taking frequent walks and petting dogs throughout the workday. I do not have a yard but like taking walks at all times of day, so your pup can still get plenty of exercise. I am familiar with senior dog care and am comfortable giving pills, following special diets, etc.

About: Since I was a child my family had always had different kind of pets. Not only am I expedited with taking car or animals I am also excited I just graduated college so I do not have any other job. I and available 24/7 this summer for pet care. I look forward to physical activity with the pets as well. First I will get to know the dog to better instant their needs. I will listen to the owners experience with their own pet and hope to keep the pet feeling at home.
About: I have grown up with a house full of animals since I was born until now. By the time I was five, I had 10 puppies to look after and care for while having two cats and lastly, five horses. I have always maintained the skill of taking care of animals and loving other pets as if they are my own. Animals are just as sensitive, pure and unique as us humans that deserve just the same love. I work full time while being in graduate school part time. I am happy to make accommodations for any services that people may need! Thank you! Since I am in college, I currently have no space for my own pets but with my own pets, I watch them closely and make sure they are safe in an enclosed space. I make sure they always have food, water, toys and anything else they may need at hand and keep a leash nearby incase of emergencies.

“Misty, our German Shepherd had a great time running around at Jessie’s for 5 days. Jessie did a great job of keeping us informed with daily updates and pictures of the dogs having fun. Thank you again!”
“Maellen is a dream! She sent pictures and videos every day and took the best care of our little pugs. Highly, highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again (Jeffery and Waffles miss her already!). Thank you!!”
“Debbie was great. I had to change my reservation several times and she was so accommodating to work with me. I have already booked her for another stay for Peanut. I will definitely be using her a lot!! Thanks Debbie!!”
“Dahlia seemed to have a great time while there. Chad was great with some photos and updates. He was also very kind and flexible which was greatly appreciated. Dahlia came home healthy and in good spirits. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to go back for some playtime in the future, though!”
“Michael watched our fur baby for 13 days. She is approx. 14 yrs old, and we were worried about leaving her for such a long period of time. Michael's calm and easy demeanor was reassurance that she would be fine. She does not get along with other animals and as the only pet Michael watched he was able to provide her with individual attention. He sent photos daily, which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely use his services again. Michael, thank you for taking such good care of our family member!”
“Jamie & Patrick H were absolutely wonderful with my dogs while I was away. This was my first time using Rover, and they made the entire experience easy and stress-free from start to finish. They took excellent care of my pups and communicated with me every day, sending updates that really helped put my mind at ease while I was away . It was clear my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I will definitely be booking with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring sitters.”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will 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! 🐾❤️”
“Onrae and his family took great care of our dogs at his place while we were out of town. We received photos and updates daily. One of our dogs needed socialization and obedience training and that was done at extra expense, since he is also a dog trainer by appointment. We would be happy to use his services again!”
“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..”
“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.”
“Karen has always been wonderful in taking care of Kami. Kami is allowed to run around looking at chickens and a neighbors cow. She takes plenty of pictures daily with a worded text. I highly recommend her for taking care of your furry friends.”
About: I’ve dog sat for most of my life, I have a love for all dogs and deeply believe dogs are family and should be treated and cared for as such I currently work full time on the weekends so I am usually off on weekdays and would love some company cuddling on the couch or walks I have a fenced yard and almost a half acre to run around. I have two beagles and a little yorkie that will keep your pup company.
“This was my first time leaving my two dogs overnight at a strangers house and I'm so glad it was with Marissa!! She both reassured the dogs, AND she also was reassuring to me - and that helped a lot. She sent me updates and photos and took really good care of my two dogs that were not at all used to staying somewhere other than my house. It felt to me like she got to know each dog personally, not just give them food and shelter for the night... I would certainly book with her again when the need arises!!”
“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!”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
“Sophie is so nice, gentle, accommodating, & a wonderful pup care-giver. Plus she sent an update and cute photos every day. We couldn't ask for anything more & will definitely use her again if she is available.”
