Dog Walking in Vista Grande, Albuquerque, NM

About: I have been caring for animals since my childhood and have several of my own. I am a veterinary assistant and am comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes, as well as with responsibilities such as administering medication, walks, special diets, etc. I work and go to school part time. I have the most freedom on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, but can also periodically check on your pet on the other days of the week. I can do overnights as well. I will work with your pets needs whether that is specific feeding times, a walking schedule, or other routines that you and your pet typically do.

About: I have had cats and dogs around since I was a child. I have been boarding for almost 2 years, and walking/doing check-ins for nearly 8 years. I started out doing walks to help fill my want for pets. But now that I have two of my own, I realized this is something I really love doing and it is always a joy to meet other peoples' fur babies. In my home, I do have one other dog who LOVES to play and gets along with every animal and human he meets. I have a scaredy cat, and a handful of kiddos who I have taught animal etiquette to since they were all babies. We have cared for the smallest dogs to the largest. We have had older dogs, puppies, dogs recovering from surgery, and females in heat (although not at the moment until our puppy is fixed). We love your babies like they are our own, and love to be able to take them with us if we ever go on any adventures while they are here (of course, with permission!) I am a stay at home mom, so I am home the majority of the day to care for any animals in my home. My kids are AMAZING with animals, as I have taught lots of animal etiquette over the years caring for animals -- and now that we have our own fur babies too. In my home, we just treat your fur babies like one of our own. We give them lots of attention, play time, walk time, etc. I also incorporate your schedules with ours (ie feeding, etc). If there are any special requests, I fulfill those needs. When I go to a clients home, I respect everything around me and be as gentle and careful as to make sure that the fur babies are comfortable with me in their home.

“Simply amazing. I have no worries when Hector is scheduled to walk domino when we’re out of town. Thank you, Hector! Domino misses you already :)”

About: I am an experienced positive method dog trainer. I work during the day and I a make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and happy while I am not home. Kennel training helps keep everyone safe if they are boarding but we can discuss options. My dogs are very sweet and mellow as is my kitty so they get ahold well with most everyone. I do special need animals and have experience with blind and def animals. Additionally, I have have contacts to local vets/ vet techs for advice if emergency issues or questions arise on visit if you or your vet cannot be reached. My summary of experience includes house/pet sitting, boarding, walking, training, drop ins and I have done a bit of grooming as well. I respect any rules you want to implement for your fur babies. I am knowledgeable in dealing with all manner of problems and shenanigans that your animals can come up with. Size of dog only matters if temperament is aggressive. I want to make sure everyone is safe. Please feel free to Ask me for recommendations if you are unsure about your dogs temperament, I can do a free assessment for you so we can find the service that will suit you both best. Sending pictures as well as videos is also totally fine if that helps you feel at ease when you are away or to let you know how much fun we are having! Please feel free to chat with me if you have specific problems, requirements, or concerns with anything so we can address those. I'm excited to work with you and your babies!

“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”

About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs since I 10. Anytime they went out of town, they called me to make sure to feed them or bring them over to my house while their gone. I work part time as server and the rest of the time I work and go to school at home, leaving me with plenty of time to be your furry friends companion. I have a little dog park at my apartment, as well as plenty of space to walk the dogs around my building. I also offer to take care of your animals at your home if that’s what you prefer.

“Joel has been excellent! He is reliable and great with Anubis! We greatly appreciate your help with getting Anubis the exercise he needs and deserves!”

“Greg had worked with my dog a year and a half ago, and it was a very good experience. Sadly, that dog passed away but now I have a new dog and I reached out to Greg to see if he could help me get Scooby some extra exercise. He jumped right back in and is helping me and Scooby get off to a good start from the shelter! Greg is great with dogs, and very respectful when it comes to scheduling and communication”

About: I go by Seven, I was born on a farm, I’ve worked with animals of the farm variety and of course, cats, dogs, and many more sense I was young. Volunteered at animal shelter, vets office, and farm animal facilities. I’m currently a UNM student so all my babies are at home but I plan to have my ESA Rosy join me soon, so I don’t see animals often outside of meeting fellow students pets. I have spent most of my years growing up with and around animals and have a lot of love and experience with them! I have classes m/w/f from 10am-3/1pm but other than that I’m free for any kind of help! I make sure to ask what rules or regulations have to be followed for both pet, home, and routine. I never wanna stress a pet out or an owner so I love to send photos and updates the whole time I’m there as well as make sure everyone is comfortable and happy with the job and care I give.
