“We have a unique situation with our boys and Monica did her best to help us and be understanding. She’s very kind and I 100% plan on booking her for many more dog walks with my boys !”
About: For the past 12 years I've worked as a full time dog walker and pet sitter. Before that I worked as a Vet Assistant for which I went to school for. I was trained on handling pets in stressful situations, prepping and assisting in surgeries, administering medications and injections. I'm available for dog walking and pet sitting Monday through Sunday. I have very open availability and can work with the owners to figure out a schedule that works best for them. I service all of Albuquerque. I do not provide services for Placitas, East Mountains or Rio Rancho, I can provide pet sitting in my home. I can do pet sitting in your home and can go by as often as needed for as long as needed. I do not take my clients dogs to dog parks. I also never allow them off leash nor do I use retractable leashes. I can provide my own leash if necessary.
About: I have five cats and a lizard at the moment. We have also had many dogs boarding with us in our home for the last three years. I will be starting college in the fall and need some part time flexible work to meet college expenses. With college classes I will have the flexibility to take great care of people's furry friends. I will exclusively visit pets in their own homes. I have a flexible schedule due to college classes. I am also available for house sitting.
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.

“Rachel is prompt and easy to talk to. She pays attention and was really great with our dogs, who are a handful to walk. We will be booking her for pet sitting this month for sure.”
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: 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!

With my own pets I take care of them morning to night. I am home most of the time so I do spend time with them a lot but when I do leave my house I make sure they went outside before leaving and have plenty of water and food while I am gone.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life — from playful puppies to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m confident handling big breeds, and I know how to read animal body language to keep them safe, happy, and relaxed. What sets me apart is how much I truly pay attention to each pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs extra playtime, a slow walk, or just some quiet cuddle time, I adjust to them. I also make sure to keep you updated with regular pics and messages so you know your pet is in good hands. If your pup has special needs, anxiety, or is still learning — I’ve got you. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I work part-time Thursday through Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM. Outside of those hours, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. My schedule allows me to give pets lots of attention before and after work, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want for mine. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to crate time or medications if needed. I always keep a close eye on pets, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. If your dog is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of space to relax and feel at home. Safety is always my top priority.
About: I have taken care of many dogs, rescue dogs, and dogs I have raised. I prefer small dogs as I am not able to walk big dogs. I would make it work into my daily routine, I prefer to not spend the night anywhere, but I can visit the animals, feed them and walk them I do have a fenced yard and I am able to host a pet for the right pet. I have a house that would be perfect for pets.
