“Tessa was wonderful coming to our home to check on our pets while my wife and I were out of town :) Reliable schedule and regular photo updates made our time away much more comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands.”

“Lucy is our go-to to ensure our pups are taken care of when we’re away for an extended period. She takes great care of the dogs and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our high maintenance geriatric dogs.”

Jose L.

“I am truly so grateful to have Valarie to help take care of my dogs when I’m away at work. She has been a perfect fit. She has not only been amazing with my fur babies, but to me as well. She has been communicative, more than accommodating with my changing schedule as a healthcare provider, trustworthy, and reliable. She has made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend her!”

Sarah H.

“Literally had a worry free vacation knowing that Ludo was well taken care off. Brandi sent us pics and updates daily. Will definitely have her watch our pets again!”

“Alessia was great and took fantastic care of my cat Mabel for the two weeks I was gone! She sent so many cute photos of her playing with Mabel and kept her super active and happy. Alessia is a lovely young lady and I will definitely be going to her for the next time I need cat sitting :)”

About: My whole life I have worked with animals from experience with my own pets, to working at shelters and animal sanctuaries, pet daycare and boarding with Animal Humane, and fostering pets with medical needs or are too young to be adopted. I work M-F 7am-3:30pm. I typically go home at lunch time so I can let your pet out for a mid-day potty break if needed. I live in a pet friendly apartment with hardwood floors just in case there’s any accidents. The neighborhood I live in is safe with nearby walking trails. I keep plenty of treats on hand and can work with your pets specific needs.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent, caring for animals is truly one of my greatest joys. I currently share my home with two lovable pups, and I’m also a proud grandparent to three grand-doggies and one grand-kitten—yes, it's a full and furry family! With years of personal experience and a genuine passion for animals, I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every walk and pet check-in. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including senior dogs needing a little extra love—whether it’s administering medications, helping with mobility, or just providing that gentle, loving presence they deserve. Before diving into pet care full-time, I was an elementary school teacher, which means patience, responsibility, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own—with kindness, care, and lots of tail wags! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! Currently, I am available for drop ins and walks two times per day. This summer, my schedule is far more open and could easily fit additional times, as needed. I would follow whatever directions/guidelines are provided for me so that your pet(s) routines are kept as close to what they are used to as possible.

“Melissa did a wonderful job watching our cats while we were out of town. She played with them, fed them, brought in my packages and watered my plants 😀 so very grateful!”

Melissa L.

“Christie was absolutely amazing with Kitty. She brushed her and gave her lots of attention. Kitty really enjoyed Christie’s company. I would definitely have her come in and watch kitty and my dogs. She gave me peace of mind leaving Kitty for 9 days. Thank you Christie.”

About: Dogs are my PASSION! I have been raised around dogs the majority of my life, and involved in non-profit rescue work for over 12 years. Rescues and adopted family members fill my heart with soo much joy! I am experienced with large packs, bully breeds, behavior needs, elder care, medicine management, and special needs. I am certified through ABI-Animal Behavior Institute- and completed my training programs for CACTP (Certified Advanced Canaine Training Professional) and CCTBS (Certified Canine Training Behavior Specialist) and currently focusing on field work hours to attain my CPDT certification in Fall 2025 (Certified Professional Dog Trainer). I work with Behavior Modification dogs at Animal Humane New Mexico alongside my mentor who is also CPDT accredited. My love of animals has been a large part of my life for my entire life. The love and connection that we share with animals, and the beautiful lessons that they have to teach us in this life are worth taking the time to stop and listen to and learn from. Every dog I meet has important works to share with me. Your pets will be like an extension of my own family. I have been a dog mom for over 20 years now, but shared much of my childhood with our family dogs who always brought so much love, joy, and understanding to my life. I knew as an adult that my family would not be complete without dogs, and now my pack completes my family! I have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted to accomodate the needs of most stays and care needs. I can plan around the needs of your beloved family members needs while balancing my own with in and out ability during day and overnight stay needs. When I am in someone elses home, I take much care and respect of the space that I am in. I will be respectful of house rules and needs. I am even able to do minor care including watering plants, feeding fish, opening blinds, etc.

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and have a dog named Scrappy who inspired my passion for pet care. Through him, I’ve learned how to connect with dogs of all temperaments and understand their body language, needs, and routines. I have experience with basic puppy training (crate, potty, leash walking) as well as caring for senior dogs who need patience, gentle movement, and medication. I offer calm, one-on-one attention in a cozy environment that feels like home. Every dog I care for gets the same love and respect I give Scrappy. I just graduated high school, so I have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule! I work a part-time job with plenty of availability during the day, evenings, and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—I love spending time with animals, whether it’s morning walks, playtime breaks, or cozy evenings in. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust to your dog’s needs and schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs can feel safe and relaxed—no overcrowding, no chaos, just lots of love and attention. I’m careful with introductions, keep doors secure, and always supervise playtime. If I’m in your home, I follow your routines closely and treat your space with the same respect I give my own. I pay attention to details, give regular updates, and make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

About: {I do watch after cats as well. } I've been tree hugger of every type of animal for as long as I can remember and simply taking care of our four legged friends brings me nothing but joy and happiness. I've been with the same little pup for the past 7 years and he is now 8. Sadly, the first year of his life he belonged to a puppy mill and I've been working on his social skills ever since. After I had him adopted, he would just shiver and cower away from me. He wouldn't warm up to anyone and would just sleep away in the back of my closet. Since then he has improved to a healthy, loving dog that I play with on the daily. All dis deserve some love.

About: Hi! I own a pet of my own, a little yorkie. I have had her since I was 12. My experience includes taking care of my grandmas dog’s and family friend’s dogs. Occasionally would help out my neighbors with dog sitting their one year old puppy for weeks at a time. I have trained my dog to go potty outside and a couple of tricks for treats. I’ve always had good experience with any type of dog and look forward to helping out family’s to care for their companions ! I am currently in summer break from school. I am a full time student at University of New Mexico majoring in chemistry. I currently do have a part time. This job does not provide much hours. So I would love to include dog care as apart of my routine because I love taking care of dogs! This would seem more of a fun job and get great time to exercise while helping dog owners. There is many things I have considered that come with job and majority of them are benefits ! My dog is small and is very well trained. She hasn’t been in a crate since she was a baby! She is shy around other dogs but it is very easy to manage her, if she does not get along with the other dogs. My dog is not a violent dog and has never bitten anyone before ! So I trust that your pets have nothing to worry about with conflict around my dog. I am experienced with being in other peoples home because I’ve air bnb recently this year multiple times with my partner. I care for others space and treat it as I would want others to treat my space. I am very communicative and I would keep updates for my clients with their dogs. I am very empathetic towards animals and I would treat my clients pets with respect and care.
