Pet Sitting West Old Town

“Marcus was amazing with our 3 dogs. We have a 90lbs German Shepard, 30lb medium dog and a small 15lb dog and he handled each so well. He is friendly, kind and very knowledgable. He treats our animals as if they were his own and they loved him!”

“Greg has done several drop ins including one at the very last minute. He is 100% reliable and I completely trust that he will be here when he says he will be here. The dogs appear comfortable and relaxed around him. Thank you Greg!”

About: Before college, I was the primary caregiver for my family’s dog, Max—handling everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing, training, and playtime tailored to his pace and personality. That hands-on experience taught me how to read a dog’s needs and build trust through consistency and care. I’ve also cared for multiple pets through prior sitting experiences, including three dogs of different sizes and three cats, so I’m comfortable adapting to a variety of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. While in college, I’ve continued growing my experience by volunteering with a local shelter’s Doggy Day Out program, taking dogs on walks, hikes, and special outings to give them enrichment and a break from the shelter environment. These experiences have strengthened my ability to care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine enthusiasm. I am currently a student at UNM and working part time, so my evenings are relatively free during the week. Friday afternoons - Sunday mornings are the best time for me to hangout with your pet and care for them full time. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and attention—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just lots of love and cuddles. If you choose house sitting, your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll have a constant companion who keeps their routine consistent and stress-free. I also love taking pets on little adventures, like trips to nearby parks, to keep them engaged and happy. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to provide daily updates with photos and messages, so you always know your pet is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

“She took care of our pup so well and played with him. So thankful we found Jennifer! She was very responsive and friendly. Definitely will have her back!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for them professionally for over five years through pet sitting, dog walking, veterinary hospitals, and boarding/daycare. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including seniors, puppies, and those requiring medication. I’m comfortable with drop-in visits, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care, and I always focus on keeping each dog safe while maintaining the routine they’re used to at home. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable while their family is away. Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide flexible availability for my clients. My schedule is built around the pets in my care, and I carefully plan each day to ensure every visit receives the time and attention it deserves. Whether it’s morning, midday, evening, or weekend care, I strive to provide reliable, consistent service while maintaining each pet’s normal routine. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household routines, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, clean up after pets, and leave clients’ homes as I found them. I also provide regular photo updates and communication so owners have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own. To ensure the safety of both pets and myself, I require a meet and greet before accepting new clients and may decline bookings if I don’t feel I’m the right fit for a pet’s specific behavioral needs.

“Thank you Brigit-for being such a great pet sitter. Your temperament is excellent I think when pets are stressing about where their pet parent went—-I’m so glad my Cleo came out from under the bed the first day with you and I appreciated the daily snapshot of your visit….was a treat for me to have daily check ins. Hope you can sit with my Cleo again as needed..”

“Fiery is great with my cats. It is hard to find someone who is good with cats. I am so happy I found her. She keeps me informed with every visit so I don’t have to worry about my boys.”

About: I’ve worked with and lived around dogs nearly my whole life. I’ve helped my grandpa with his dog grooming shop over the summers and cared for family dogs including things like walking, training, grooming, and feeding when necessary. I work a part time job that can get quite busy sometimes, but no stress! your pet will always come first to an extra double shift. My schedule comes out weekly, so some things may change from time to time but it is a priority to not let that get in the way of any pet care. I am open on the weekends during the afternoon, easy for drop-ins or quick walks! I have a nice big fenced backyard, perfect for any dog not big on walks or dog parks. I have two dogs, one big, one little. the little is amazing company and goes along with whatever the vibe is. She could be a great buddy for your pup to go on a play date with! The big one may be a bit reactive at first, no aggression just barking and anxiety that usually goes away after a while, but she usually prefers to be alone. Because of this I am looking for jobs other than boarding for the most part. I have a small crate in my car for safe travel with little dogs, so driving around or going out to a specific location for a field trip is an option for puppies and small breeds!

“It was a pleasure working with Amanda. She was here when she said she would be. Very prompt which was important due to the fact that our cat Speedy needs his meds at the same time each day. She cleaned up after feedings of wet food and sent pix of our boys, which was really nice to receive. I would recommend Amanda to friends and family. Thank you Amanda! ;o)”

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 full time at a veterinary clinic. My work days are Thursday-Sunday 8:30am-5:30pm, and half days on Mondays. I can always check on pets during lunch breaks, and I am available for overnights. I will always work with your pets needs, whether that is a walking schedule, medications, or other routines that are essential for their well being.

“Denise did fantastic with Sammie and Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Drop in. I appreciate her communication.”

About: I have experience working with an wide range of animals. Dogs, cats, ferrets, and goats. I treat every pet like family, providing patient, attentive care tailored to their personality, routine, and individual needs. I’m especially comfortable with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience, consistency, and love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life. I have a full-time 8–5 job, but I make time before and after work for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends give me dedicated time to provide loving, dependable care for your pets. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine. I follow feeding, medication, potty, walking, and bedtime instructions carefully, while giving plenty of affection, playtime, and individual attention. I want every pet to feel relaxed, loved, and at home while their person is away.

“Josephine was wonderful! She was kind, caring, compassionate, and quick to respond if any issues arose. She was professional and treated my cats like they were her own. I would absolutely use her services again in the future!”

“Our cat really seem to enjoy having someone stop in and visit with him while we were out of town with family. Julie was very respectful of our home, always made sure our house was locked/alarmed when she left after the visit and treated our fur baby really well. She's very nice, a good communicator and was accommodating, not that we asked for a lot. She also agreed to water my plants on one of the visits during the week that we were gone. We even got adorable pictures of our cat on our Rover cards during her visits. We had a really reassuring experience having her as our pet sitter. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be contacting her for our next trip out of town.”

About: Hi! We’re Kathy and Val. We recently moved to Albuquerque from Santa Fe. We both work from home as contractors and are available for dog boarding and doggie day care at our home. We have 2 dogs, Odin and Brady, who are very friendly. We are very active and enjoy long walks, hikes, etc. We also enjoy cuddling with dogs and sharing lots of love with them. Since we work from home our schedule is flexible. We are available from 7am - 9pm. Daycare (full day) and boarding include a 1-2hr hike, depending on activity level and need of the dog. For boarding the hikes can be as often as every other day depending on their activity level and needs. I currently work from home so caring for my pet and the pets of others is a nice way for me to get off the computer and outside. Your dog will receive play-time, walks, cuddles, and treats (if allowed) from me! I try to stick to their routine/times of going out as much as possible.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life - as a child, through adulthood, and with my own family. Now, my wife and I have Zeus and Nala, two adorable lab mixes who rule our life with walks, baths, and dinner time. I'm a longtime professional transitioning to a new career. Currently, I have no recurring commitments and have lots of availability and flexibility for intermittent or regular walks and sitting. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. I'm at home most of the day, and the doors stay open with access to a breezy porch and lots of sunlight.
