Dog Walkers in White Sands, NM

About: I have been dog and cat walking and sitting since the age of 11. Sometimes as my full time job and sometimes as a way to make some extra cash. I absolutely love all fur babies of every size, breed, and age! I am not assuaged by the more aggressive and/or larger dog breeds. I have experience caring for pitbulls, boxers, huskies, golden retrievers, labradors, collies, and hounds, as well as various smaller breeds. I have pet sat for both dogs and cats from ages 2-months to super seniors! I love them all! I am not currently a pet mom to any cats or dogs, but I have been in the past and my partner and I are the pet parents to a feisty bearded dragon, one adorable turtle, two silly toads, one lazy pac-man frog, one chill beta fish, and a tank of four high-energy salt-water fish! 😊 We recently laid to rest Pixie our hamster, Lucy our ferret, and Anthony our saltwater eel. Lucy and Anthony were in our lives for 7+ years 😢 I will treat all of your fur babies like they are my own! I originally signed up on Rover as a way to make ends meet while putting myself through Nursing school; and although I have since accepted a job as a full-time nurse, I decided to continue Rover on the side. I also regularly volunteer at Memorial Medical Center as an Auxillain. Aside from these two commitments my schedule is pretty open. I unlisted myself from house sitting; however, I may be able to house sit for you in 3 to 4-day stretches, so if this is all you need please reach out to me. Unfortunately, I cannot house any pets in my home either overnight or during the day due to restrictions set forth by my apartment complex; however, I am free to pet sit overnight or during the day in your home (in 3 to 4-day stretches). I have found this is normally less jarring for your fur babies anyway. I am also free to dog/cat walk either on a regular basis or sporadically. The needs of your pet will be taken into account on an individual basis. If you have a question about my experience or ability to perform a specific aspect of your pets care, please just ask. *I am willing to negotiate rates*

“Nayeli is always so professional in and around my home and my dogs--she is knowledgeable and friendly! Even my shy kid warmed up to her almost immediately! My dogs love her! I haven't been able to walk my dogs due to some health issues, and she has been so valuable to our family. Thank you so much for your continued care!”

About: grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. My love for animals runs deep, and I tend to form strong connections with dogs of all personalities. I’ve always been committed to walking, bathing, and brushing my dogs regularly, ensuring they stay happy and healthy. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a gentle caregiver, or just some extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own. You can trust me to provide reliable and loving care for your furry family member! I’m currently a full-time student at New Mexico State University with a mix of online and in-person classes. This semester, I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am unavailable on Thursdays, but I’m available on Tuesdays after 12 PM. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the rest of the week. With more online classes, I have even more freedom to care for pets, ensuring they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I’m committed to providing reliable and loving care. In my home, I ensure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean space, regular feeding, playtime, and lots of love. I’m attentive to their needs, including grooming, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine. I also know how to calm down hyper or temperamental dogs, using patience and understanding to help them relax. I adjust playtime based on the dog’s mood, ensuring they have fun while respecting their energy levels. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, providing fresh food, water, walks, and companionship.

“Tommie did an amazing job with Ringo while we were gone for the weekend. She took care of him beyond extra. I hope we can still book her for next time.”

About: I’ve been walking, boarding, basic and show training other people’s dogs dogs for 3 years now and have saved many dogs from behavioral euthanasia. My background in temperament and cgc evaluation ensures positive environments for all animals in my care. I work with animals full time. I will offer services any day any hour, my main concern is making sure these animals are cared for! I have a fenced backyard with a separate enclosed kennel within the back as well, and multiple rooms in my home with 6X8X6 kennels as well as other kennels that can be used

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for some sweet amazing pets over the years. Having 2 dogs myself : a Chihuahua and a husky: I'm able to care for various breeds and sizes. My experience includes feeding, walking, providing companionship to animals in their own homes. I've also had the opportunity to work with different breeds and temperaments, allowing me to adapt my caregiving techniques to each individual pet's needs. I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment for my clients' furry friends, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for in their absence. Feeding, walking, and cuddling are all part of my daily routine, and my dogs would probably tell you I’m their personal superhero. I bring that dedication and joy to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away. When caring for pets in someone else's home, I prioritize their comfort and security. I follow their specific routines, ensuring consistent feeding times, administering medications as prescribed, and providing regular exercise. I treat their home with respect, cleaning up after the pets and maintaining a tidy environment. I also keep a detailed record of their behavior, any special needs, and any incidents that may occur. By providing attentive and responsible care, I aim to alleviate any worries the pet owners may have while they're away.

About: I have been around dogs of all shapes and sizes our whole life. I’ve dog sat since we were kids for anyone who needed it. Family and friends have asked me to board their babies or to check on them while they are out of town. I’ve had experience taking care of dogs of all ages. We are an active family who loves to go out an enjoy the outside. I’ve been on the app since the beginning of the year, I’m open to learn and work with you. I would prefer to have non-aggressive dogs due to having children. I will always send pictures and of your fur baby. I am currently working Rover full time and my husband works so I would have all the time in the world to work with your schedule to help. I am open to your schedule already set for fur baby. If your baby has a sleep or wake schedule or a certain time they walk I can always be on time. I do have children so school and appointments do happen every once in awhile. My husband and I live in a house with our 4 children and one fur baby that would keep your baby company. I also have a fenced back yard that has plenty of room for everyone to play. I also have an extra kennel if anyone would like us to kennel our dog or needs theirs to be in one. I live two blocks from Young’s Park and love to take our kids and fur baby when the days are nice. I are very clean along with my family and Nakia is kennel trained but she does sleep with my husband and I or my kids so if your puppy needs to sleep with someone there will always be someone there for them. My kids have been taught to respect any animal and the space they are in so there is no need to worry about our kids being mean to your baby. They have been around dogs and other animals their whole lives as well as us. They also won’t be around any of the dogs unless my husband or myself is around to supervise.

“Always fantastic! Thanks!”

About: I love all animals and have extensive experience with cats and dogs, from personally owning them myself to volunteering with local shelters. I have done it all. I am pretty flexible. My daily routine already includes taking care of my 5 rescue cats, which includes feeding them and cleaning their litter areas. I like to make sure I make the pets feel at ease however I can. I know this experience can be anxiety-inducing, and I am patient with all kinds of personalities.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently care for my 2-year-old pup who means the world to me. Through the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I understand how important it is to give them love, structure, and attention. From daily walks and playtime to routine care and comforting cuddles, I treat every dog like family. l Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. From morning walks and feedings to playtime and evening wind-downs, I make sure my dog’s needs are always met with love and consistency. Caring for animals brings me joy, so I’m always happy to fit it into my day—whether it's sticking to a regular schedule or being flexible to meet each pet’s unique needs. **How I Care for Pets as a Dog Sitter** As a dedicated dog sitter, I prioritize the comfort, safety, and well-being of every dog I care for. My approach adapts to the unique needs of each pet and the preferences of their owners, whether the care takes place in my home or the client’s home. **In the Client’s Home:** * I follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any specific care needs. * I ensure the dog’s environment is safe and comfortable, maintaining familiar spaces and routines to minimize stress. * Regular playtime and walks are provided according to the dog’s energy level and preferences. * I monitor the dog’s health and behavior, keeping the owner updated with photos and messages. * I respect the client’s home by maintaining cleanliness and order during my visits. **In My Home:** * I create a calm and welcoming space tailored to each dog’s needs, including a cozy sleeping area and access to fresh water at all times. * I maintain a consistent routine with regular meals, walks, and playtime to keep dogs happy and healthy. * I supervise all interactions to ensure safety, especially if there are multiple dogs or other pets. * I provide lots of affection and mental stimulation through games and training exercises. * I keep detailed notes on each dog’s behavior, diet, and any special requirements, communicating regularly with the owner. Regardless of the setting, my goal is to provide loving, attentive care that makes both dogs and their owners feel confident and at ease while they are apart

“Dejanae was great :) she kept me updated with how my dog was doing, took him on a long walk and took photos of him. Tucker loved it! Definitely 5+ stars”

About: Pets, the only family you actually like. I grew up with our family Labrador and am now the proud mom of two crazy cats. I’ve helped look after many animals (including goats!) and was a volunteer dog walker for a couple of years. I work remotely from home (when I’m not on the road). Between my flexible work schedule and access to my own transportation I’m able to easily help look after someone’s beloved pet. I will care for your pets with your guided instruction and care. If possible, I would love to take them on hikes and explore the outdoors.

I have so much experience with all types of animals. In the past we have owned turtles, fish, a gecko and even a crawdad! :) Even though I do have a bachelors degree, I am blessed and lucky enough to be a stay at home mom where I currently take care of our house and our pets. Daily schedule is 100% flexible around other people while still maintaining the care that my animals require. In my own home I have two fenced yards. I also have a large home with two living rooms for plenty of play area. In a clients home I would allow the pet to go where the owner has stated. As well as out in the yard I would keep an ion them and do what service is required for each pet with love and care.
