“Elthea and Josh provided a safe and welcoming home-away-from-home and I would not hesitate to ask them to board our dogs again They spoiled and treated them like family. The pictures, captions and updates were much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Patricia, her husband Sam are ideal dog sitters. They offer 100% dog sense, a yard that our border collie, Olli, could run around in and enjoy, and friends for Olli - Gila and Amber - two lovely dogs. Olli was taken for a run and allowed to sleep where he wanted. (important to us because he roams at night) Their home is calm and relaxed and dog friendly! Worth the trip from Santa Fe to their home near Pojoaque.”
“Jess and her daughter were awesome and our doggo had such a great time with them and their doggo!! Definitely if we're out in Los Alamos again would use them! Definitely recommended them to our family who lives out here!!”
About: I’ve always had a dog since as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a love for animals. I take care of my family’s pets while on vacation or just on a weekend trip. I’m do work full time but when I’m not working, I’m loving on my fur babies. I have plenty of time to care for yours and mine. I live in a very rural area where your dog can run around and go on walks with me off leash if well behaved. If not, we can still go on walks, just with a leash. ☺️
About: Lifelong compassionate caregiver of all ages and sizes. Detail-oriented, patient homebody with time to care and land to roam. Queer folks and women first but all welcome! 🌈🐾 I work part-time remote. My schedule bends to the needs of your pets. I do not board pets from different households at the same time. Fenced, secure yard; dog-proof everything indoors; separate rooms if needed, otherwise plenty of clean, cozy common area. Frequent yard time and walks. Experienced with senior care, medications (including injections), patience for puppies, and love for all canines!
“Baxter and Penny had an incredible time with Genevieve! Between playing with her pets, snuggling at night, and her incredible yard, I'm not too sure they wanted to come home!! She did a wonderful job taking care of them. Next time we're in Santa Fe, we will definitely use her again.”
“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”
“Britt worked out so well for us! We were staying a night at Ojo Caliente (and they don’t allow pets). It was a great option for us to have a wonderful pet sitter so close to Ojo. Britt was an excellent communicator both before and during our pup’s (Axel) stay with him. He took Axel on walks and sent pictures through the stay. We highly recommend Britt for dog sitting, and would welcome the opportunity to use him again if we need a dog sitter!”
“Chandra's caretaking was so out-of-this-world that the galactic committee is set to add 2 more stars to Orion's Belt in her honor. She made coordinating our meet-up teflon-smooth. Thanks to the generous exercise and cuddle time she provided our pup, he came back to us calm and tired and happy. He truly had a vacation within a vacation. Chandra is a lovely human. We won the Rover.com lottery for having crossed paths with her.”
About: Growing up on a farm, I developed hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from livestock to household pets. Today, I extend that care to my friends’ pets whenever they need support, looking after everything from dogs and cats to more unique companions like snakes and chickens. My lifelong connection to animals has given me the skills and intuition needed to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. As a part-time web designer and content creator, I work primarily online, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible schedule. Since I set my own hours, I can easily accommodate pet care, always making time for dog walks, cat brushing, and any other needs. My adaptable routine ensures consistent and attentive care for all pets. I’ve had experience both welcoming pets into my home and house-sitting for others. I’m based in Taos, where there’s a fenced yard and access to great hikes nearby. If I stay at your home, you can expect it to be well-cared for, left clean, and I can also manage tasks like plant care as needed. NOTE for boarding: I do have a cat. Any visiting dogs must be cat-friendly and respect cat boundaries.
“Alison is amazing. She took such wonderful care of our newly adopted dog. We were very worried about leaving him so soon after adoption, but he was treated with kindness and enjoyed daily walks and playtime with her and her sweet little dog. I would recommend Alison without hesitation and will definitely book with her in the future.”
