House Sitting in Vecinos Del Bosque, Albuquerque

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience with both. I currently have four cats of my own and volunteer at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where I help make sure every homeless kitty gets the love and attention they deserve. In addition to pet sitting and walking for friends and neighbors since middle school, I’ve worked at a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. There, I was responsible for supervising group play, feeding dogs with specific dietary needs, administering medications (including pills and liquids), bathing dogs, and keeping their environment clean, safe, and fun. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, a nice walk, or making sure your pet sticks to their routine, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family! I’m available full-time throughout the summer for pet sitting, walks, and drop-ins! In August, I’ll be moving to Albuquerque for school, but I’ll still be visiting Santa Fe regularly and will update my availability as needed. Once the school year starts, I’ll have more limited availability in Santa Fe, but I’ll still try to accommodate whenever I’m in town! In my clients’ homes, I make sure pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own space. I follow feeding routines, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and give them all the attention they need. For dogs, I love going on walks and spending time outdoors. For cats, I offer lots of affection (when they want it!) and make sure litter boxes are kept clean. Whether it’s staying overnight or stopping by for a check-in, I always treat every pet like my own.

“Mariah was a great sitter for the pups! They loved her, and got plenty of walks and love. She sent updates throughout and photos. Thank you!!”

“Brigit was wonderful. She worked with our incredibly complicated schedule without issue. Our dog really seemed to love her company. Very responsive during the day if we needed her. Left the house very clean and she was super considerate. Would 100% recommend.”

Daniel L.

“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”

Theresa G.

“Everything went very smoothly! Jamie and Patrick are open to communication and always available when we checked in. Dogs got all the medications and walks. House was left in great condition! We will be booking them again in the future!”

Maria V.

“Rachel was a great sitter. Sent me tons of photos and took Sam all over the city to different parks. You could tell from the photos that Sam was having the time of his life. Will definitely book her again!”

“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”

“Jace is so friendly and professional! She took great care of our home and our fur and feather friends. Thank you so much for the peace of mind while we were away!!”

“Sheri is a very caring, loving, and responsible house/pet sitter. My 2 dogs were happy and pouted after Sheri left. I think she played with them more than I do. I highly recommend Sheri. You will not find a better or more caring dog sitter”

Rich B.

“Vincent stayed with our large dog and took care of our home. He was an excellent communicator and very professional. Definitely recommend him!”

About: I have had dogs for the last 10 years. Big and small I love to play and make sure all their needs are accommodated so they are happy tail waggers at the end of the day. I work full time however have plenty of time in the after noon to be able to care for your pets after 630pm. I also am free on Tuesdays and Sundays and Saturdays before 2 and after 630pm. I have a fenced yard giving your pet the room to run in and I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I do have a fur baby myself who loves to meet new friends so they can be buds.

“Danielle did an amazing job, we are so grateful for her watching Cookie and Molly. We were especially grateful for the fact that she confirmed the job, was reliable, and that she sent lots of pictures and updates (which was really nice for an anxious pet mama). She also checked in with us before leaving and washed the sheets. We would definitely book with her again.”

Emmalee J.

“Ambra was perfect! Took great care of my sweet doggie and communicated well. She even went back to feed her when my flight was late. My first experience with Rover and Ambra made it a great one.”

Georgette E.

“Greg was just as fantastic as I expected him to be. He treated my dear canines as if they were his own. He came back to return our key and was greeted enthusiastically by all three, which is the absolute best review I think anyone here could receive. I more travel planned later this year and Greg is at the top of my list for taking care of my furry, four-legged kids when that time comes.”

Katy C.

“Rhiannon was a great sitter for our ~70lb pit/basset mix and our black cat. She had confidence with them and showed them a lot of love. She was great about sending pictures and with communication.”
