House Sitting White Rock

“Josh was professional and our dogs loved him. It was our first time using Rover, and we got many pictures that not only put our minds at ease, but also entertained us while we were away for a medical appointment.”

About: I am a nature and animal enthusiast. I began caring for animals in high school giving me 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. From house sitting, dog walking to administering medications, I have had the opportunity to care for so many different animals. I have taken care of pets in the comfort of their own home which always seems like the most stress-free option. I love to take pictures of sweet squishy faces. I am available most of the day/night to care for your pets in your home to best meet the needs of both the owner and pet. I have one dog (Banjo) who will be cared for by my husband so I can focus on your pets. With my background in veterinary clinics, safety is my number one priority. I make sure pets are safe in the home, that they are maintained on a secure leash during walks, avoid encounters with other dogs/animals during walks, I check to make sure there is no access to items that could harm them, and pay attention to overall general health. I believe for the most part the safest environment for a pet is in their own home where they are comfortable.

“Myles was excellent! A complete professional even though I had forgotten to update my new address, he came through like a champ and Bonnie has a new BFF!”

About: I am an absolute cat person and I've been taken care of my in-law's cats and convinced my husband 3 years ago to adopt our own furr-babies. I will take care of your little ones as if they were mine. It is important that they are taken care of but it is also important that they don't feel lonely or left out. I will go the extra mile and spend time with them. Gaining their trust to get affection from them or play with them is key. I am happy to spend extra time with them with no extra charges. Cats affections are the reward! I am flexible in terms of hours and home office. If I know your schedule in advance I can work from home and take care of your cats at any time during the day. If your cats let me, I will play with them, cuddle them, and spend extra time with them. But the most important things are their feeding routine, making sure they're hydrated and to provide a clean cat litter box for their well-being.

“Bianca was outstanding! She house/pet sat for our two dogs while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and photos. She let us know details about the dogs and our house was perfect when we returned. Her experience with animals and understanding of behaviors is clear. Would highly recommend her!!”

“Lily was amazing!! She communicated everything and sent pictures. I felt really safe leaving our boys with her! We would love to have her watch them again!”

About: I’ve always had a special love for animals and the outdoors. I grew up surrounded by pets and have had multiple pups throughout my life, including my two sweet Border Collies, Meko and Oppie. They brought so much joy and personality into my life, and caring for them taught me how much love, patience, and attention our pets deserve. I also have a background as a wilderness guide, so being outside and exploring nature is a huge part of who I am. I know how much dogs love getting outside, sniffing around, going on adventures, and simply enjoying the fresh air—and I’d love to give your pup that same experience! Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs for weeks at a time, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility of caring for a pet while their person is away. I’m attentive to their routines, personalities, and individual needs, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a friendly, easygoing spirit that animals seem to pick up on right away. Whether your pup wants an adventure, a long walk, some playtime, or simply a cozy companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be there for them. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, which allows me to give your pets plenty of time, attention, and care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my day-to-day life because I love being outdoors, staying active, and having animals by my side. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine, whether they need morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, or evening care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m also perfectly happy spending a quiet day at home keeping your pet company. My goal is to make pet care feel seamless for both you and your pet, while keeping their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’m attentive to your pet’s needs, their routine, and any special instructions you leave for me. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet seriously and will always treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. As a wilderness guide, I’m comfortable being responsible in changing environments and staying aware of my surroundings. I’m also a big believer in clear communication, so I’ll keep you updated and let you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾

“Lily was great! Our dogs love basically everyone but they rarely feel at home enough to nap and snuggle with the sitter. We got lots of pictures throughout the day of them doing just that, comfortable enough to snuggle and nap all day. Definitely will have her watch them again!”

“Fantastic! Super caring of the kitties and the house. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Kitties looked great and were still looking for Lydia. Thank you so much. Look forward to using you again.”

Jane Y.

“Wonderful! Happy to have her sit our puppy again.”

About: A little about me, I’m currently serving active duty in the military but I miss dog sitting. I have 12 yrs experience with most dog breeds and I try to make my schedule as flexible as possible. Your pets will be in great hands. Also if you have a cat I can gladly sit for you still but if they are being boarded in my home I will need them to have their essentials as I do not own any cat products. I have experienced with senior dogs as well and I treat them a bit more gently so they feel comfortable. I do not have a lot of experience with special needs pets but I can still provide for them. All pets are welcomed. Available Monday through Friday 5pm to 7pm. Saturday all day and Sunday 12pm to 4pm. I can also try to work with your schedule and needs. I have a small fenced backyard. Two corgis. One is friendly and the other is scared of our dogs. If needed boarding in my home I will keep them separated.

“Susan was an excellent pup and house sitter for our two boys while we were out of state. Highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful to Lis for her availability on short notice, her competence with my young-ish Rottweiler, her ability to absorb a lot of directions in a short amount of time, and her excellent care. She is communicative, personable, and an excellent photographer! I felt so at ease with her here. She also left the house immaculate. Highly highly recommend Lis!”

Felicity B.

“Mel was great! Punctual, communicated well and took excellent care of Birdie and my home while I was out of town for a couple days. Would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter!”

I offer structured, mindful walks that are tailored to each dog’s comfort level, energy, and needs. – I care for every dog as an individual and follow your established routines as closely as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and overall environment safety, and I always communicate clearly if anything out of the ordinary comes up. – For daycare and boarding, I provide clean, comfortable orthopedic bedding suitable for small, medium, and large dogs. I also keep extra leashes, dog wipes, poop bags, plant-based deodorizing pet spray, toys, and a ChuckIt ball set on hand. – My goal is to offer a clean, nurturing, low-stress environment where your dog feels relaxed, secure, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

“Chase was fabulous. He took great care of our dog and home, and sent us so many wonderful photos. Having a dog sitter hasn't always been easy for our dog but Chase made it effortless. We will definitely utilize his services again. Peace of mind is priceless. Many thanks!”

“David is simply the best! We came to Santa Fe from Denver for a few days (Monday-Thursday) and we have 7 and 8 year old Border Terriers. Our male has epilepsy, and we do not leave him alone, so we hired David to watch them. David came on Monday night, Tuesday day, Tuesday night, Wednesday day and Wednesday night so that we could go out to dinner, go to the spa, etc. He stayed for several hours at a time, which was a big ask, especially since he has his own pup, but we couldn't ask for a better experience with him. He arrived on time or early, walked them, played with them, administered medications, gave them snacks and loved them! He sent us lots of videos and photos and updates, so we knew they were being taken care of and meds given, etc. He is also just a lovely person, and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He has a calming energy which was great for my boy with epilepsy. We won't hesitate to use him again if we go back to Santa Fe. Thank you so much David!”
