Cat Sitting in White Rock

“Elizabeth is a rockstar. She is communicative, making every effort to note her upcoming scheduling conflicts for proposed drop in dates to make sure we are on the same page about expectations. She always leaves such a lovely log of her time with Oscar (via Rover cards) and sends plenty of pictures! A prime example of her commitment and superior level of care is when she still showed up to let my pup out despite being sick! Similarly, my dog is extremely fond of her and looks forward to her visits. She is so patient and kind with my silly little pup. She even noted my dog's lower energy levels on a visit one day (my pup and I went on a big hike the day before and he was still tired) - it's nice to know that she cares and pays attention to my dog's personality, behavior, and quirks. Leaving my dog for long periods of time is hard, but knowing that Elizabeth is coming to visit him undoubtedly puts me at ease. #1 fans over here!!”

“Susan took excellent care of my cat while I was on travel over the holidays. I really appreciated that she sent a lot of pictures so I knew my pet was cared for well.”

Leanne D.

“Josh was very communicative, reaching out when there were concerns or questions. Two of my cats have special needs, so its important to me that someone who is watching them is willing to reach out for guidance when things are amiss. My cats seemed to really enjoy their time with Josh, they were well-fed, exercised, and got the perfect amount of attention for their needs. I would book Josh again in a heartbeat.”

“She handled our puppy very well. She also made sure everything was okay with her considering she had just had surgery. Great!!!”

About: I am an avid pet-loving Minnesota native who would love to watch your pet & house-sit while you are away. I moved to NM in August and can't wait to continue to meet new pets! I do exceptional dog walking, dog and cat sitting, and house sitting as needed at clients homes. I take great pride in my pet-sitting job and hold it to a high standard regarding time spent with pets, walks, and cuddles. Pet care has been a crucial part of my early twenties lifestyle. I have always been an animal lover, but cannot own a pet myself due to where I live. If I am able to watch someone's furry friends, it makes my day! I keep pets food schedules as close to what they are used to as possible, as well as stay overnight, play with them, and take them on walks. I love to explore my clients backyard when I am pet sitting, whether that be a trail to follow, a pond to walk around, or a neighborhood to admire. I am an avid walker, so we will certainty go on a long walk. I am always mindful of traffic and keep pets on their leash, unless specific directions are given. Safety is my top priority.

“Sally did an excellent job!! Followed detailed instructions and was an amazing communicator! If I wasn't moving away, she would be my new go-to! Thanks for walking Damascus!”

“Dena was put on this earth to care for animals and nobody can convince me otherwise!! Our puppies absolutely adore her and our old girl is relaxed, comfortable, and happy with her. For your focus on our pups safety and interactions, your extraordinary communication abilities, and for keeping an eye out on our house and package deliveries when you don’t have to, thank you Dena!!!! We are so lucky to have met you!!!!”

“Jessica was remarkable! She showed up as scheduled and diligently took my old dog for a slow walk down the block. Her adorable daughter was a great addition!”

Joan Paula M.

“Heather was an excellent dog sitter of our 2 pitbull babies. She showed up right on time and even stayed a little bit longer while we settled up at our event. She was friendly, communicative before & during her in-home visit, she listened well to instructions and asked relevant questions. If im ever in the area again i would definitely rebook w her.”

Ramona C.

“Many thanks to Steven for caring for our dogs today! Very very happy with Steven and his attention to the needs for our pets! Looking forward to booking with him again!!”

“Michelle watched my pup when I visited Santa Fe a couple of years ago and I was relieved she was available during my last trip. She’s dependable, a clear communicator and my pup loves her.”

About: Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond very quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and be sure to check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that we have on a daily basis. My reviews should give you an idea of what to expect when you book with me. I will send tons of pictures and videos every day. Headed out of town?? I’d love to stay with your dogs and create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Or we can all stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. Rest assured that they will be cared for as if they were my own while having the comfort and familiarity of your home, or the tons of fun that goes on at my place. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a much smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve. My daily routine revolves around my pack needs. Our routine is generally foods, walks, parks, poops, pees, plays, sleeps, repeat…. I am flexible and can accommodate pretty much any type of needs for your pets. I am ready to come care for your pets whenever I am available. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me. I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.

About: I have spent the last 3 years traveling while doing house/pet sits throughout Mexico, Arizona, California, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. My clients have included some high profile gigs in Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu, but I have also spent months at a time living off-grid in the Mexican jungle and caring for animals on remote farms. My experience dates back to 1991 when I worked my high school summer vacations on a sheep farm to escape city life. I love ALL animals, and have had a special connection with them, my whole life. Your pets (and babies) will be comfortable with me right away. I have been a mom to birds, rodents, fish, cats, and dogs. I do have some experience with reptiles, as well. I come with many years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats from the puppy/kitten stage through their golden years, so you can rest assured that any special accommodations your fur-baby may need will be met with kindness and compassion. I am particularly fond of, and experienced with Bully Breeds, Golden Retrievers, and Doodles of all varieties. I only provide pet care in the owners home as I’ve found it is a far less stressful experience for the pets and the sitter. It’s all I do, so your pets will get tons of attention and affection. I also do occasional dog walking gigs while I’m staying at your home. Your babies are my babies while you’re away, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect. Confidentiality and privacy are considered paramount, always.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve supported senior pets through their final stages with patience and compassion, and I’ve also helped care for newborn litters, closely monitoring their health and development as they grow. I also have personal experience caring for handicapped pets. I’ve owned and cared for an older three-legged dog, and I’ve helped friends with pets who needed assistance walking, standing, or getting comfortable. Providing gentle support and adapting to each animal’s unique needs is something I take seriously and approach with kindness. My lifelong experience with horses — including care at the professional competition level — has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to high-quality care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and IV treatments, and have experience doing so for dogs, cats, and horses. Above all, I treat every animal entrusted to me as if they were my own, providing thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loving care. I currently work a flexible 9–5 schedule, which allows me to stop by during the day for potty breaks, short walks, or check-ins as needed. Outside of my work hours, I have open availability aside from time spent at the gym or caring for my horses at the barn. I prioritize clear communication and planning to ensure your pets receive consistent, reliable care throughout the day. In my home, my pets are truly part of the family. I have a Belgian Malinois mix who has 24 hour access to our fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and explore. She can also come in and relax in our upstairs office whenever she would like, so she is free to choose where she feels most comfortable. We go on daily walks and occasional hikes to keep her happy and fulfilled. Because I also have three indoor cats, one elderly and one still quite young, I supervise full house access to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My dog is very cat friendly, but I am always mindful of each animal’s comfort level. My cats have free roam of the house, lots of toys, cozy spots, and supervised outdoor time during warm summer days. I pay close attention to their different personalities and needs, especially my senior kitty. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for them. I like to learn their routine, when they eat, where they sleep, how they like to play, and any little quirks that make them unique. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

“Stephen was really great and accommodating. He was awesome with our two dogs and they loved him. Communication was great and he even came over to meet the dogs before sitting them so they could get to know him. Would definitely book in the future! Thank you!”

About: I adore animals, but as a single person and a renter, it hasn’t been the right time to have my own yet. Whatever the needs of your pets are, I can provide loving care for them in your home. I have cared for cats and dogs, young and old, and am comfortable administering medications. In terms of diet and exercise, I will adhere to whatever guidelines you say are best. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to look after your plants and garden as well. My goal is for both you and your pets to be at ease while you are separated. I am a good communicator and will keep you updated to the level of your liking during my stay. I spend my summers working in Alaska and have a flexible schedule while in Santa Fe. I enjoy exploring new neighborhoods and would love the company of your sweet pet 😊 I am calm, attentive, and will cater activities to suit your pet’s needs. If your pup likes walks or the park— great! If couch hangs and lap snuggles are more their speed— wonderful, I’ll bring a book!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all needs and breeds! I’ve held the responsibility of feeding, walking, providing medication, and of course play time. Whatever they need I’m happy to help with. I’ve had experience training large dogs, I know how to stay calm and firm with them. I’m willing to help out with whatever you may need :) I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and well respected! I’m currently focusing on my academics so I have a clear schedule which will allow me to give your pups all the attention they may need. Depending on your pet and their schedule I will happily let them roam around and keep watch attentively , or if they’re kennel trained that’s perfectly fine too. I would also be willing to take them to a park or on walks if agreed upon :)
