Dog Walking Yale Village

About: I had a lot of cats and dogs growing up, and I was the neighborhood dog sitter basically from the time I could ride a bike until I left for college. I know for many people today their pets are a furry part of the family, so I would treat them with the same love and care I give my cats and dobies, and make sure your animals are genuinely cared for while you are away. I know what it means to be a good and responsible sitter, and I can guarantee if you trust me with your pets you will not regret it! I'm offering drop-in sitting and dog walking, and I cannot wait to have the opportunity to meet your pets. I work full time, but am available outside of standard working hours to spend plenty of time with your pups! I have pets of my own so I know how important it is to spend time with them & make sure they are happy while you are away. When caring for pets, I always make sure to guarantee they have a comfortable and clean environment as well as plenty of play time (for their benefit & because I just love dogs!)

“Leah is beyond amazing and all my fur babies loved her! She always kept in communication throughout the visits and sent me pictures and videos which made me feel so much better about leaving my babies in such good hands! Thank you Leah !!”

“Eden is exceptionally reliable, communicative, and kind towards our boys!!! There has been a noticeable difference in our pup’s demeanor (he’s happier, more playful) but also in the way he handles on leash! I couldn’t be happier with Eden and I hope to be able to be her client for a very long time!”

Skyyler D.

“Thank you for the quick response. Sombra is awesome and usually have a friend pick her up on unexpected longer days but they weren't available. Lauren was able to step in on a moments notice. 🐾 of thanks!”

LeAnn C.

“Nicolle has been really helpful making our nervous dog comfortable, and giving him great walks. She is reliable and I’d highly recommend.”

Dana G.

“Our dogs were completely into Melissa the moment she arrived! She balances leadership and direction with kindness and joy. We are excited to welcome her into our pack!”

Steph and Keerat S.

“The best of the best dog walkers we have ever known. Greg is always professional and courteous. He loves dogs and knows how to care and handle them.”

Rich D.

“Marilee did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Zori. She followed our care instructions perfectly and was extremely reliable and communicative. We loved that she took extra time to make Zori feel safe and comfortable by sitting with him, giving him treats, and playing with him in the yard. During every walk, Marilee sent a detailed update with pictures, which gave us complete peace of mind. We would highly recommend Marilee to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Jessica R.

“Hossanna has been great walking our fur baby. She has responded quickly to our messages. I can tell that she is taking good care of our old girl.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, and am passionate about our furry relatives who need gentle and/or care-ful patience and attention. I’m experienced with small to large breeds, leash training, and rescues in need of extra love. Every animal has their own personality/quirks, and I take time to build trust and make them feel safe, in whatever this may be. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, or cuddle time, I treat every furry friend as a family member 🐶💛🎃🐈‍⬛ I am a part-time student so I will have lots of time to keep them on their routines and daily activities! I am available any day of the week with flexible hours. I am excited to keep a daily/weekly schedule with my regulars! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. This is something I take very seriously. I follow all instructions carefully, use secure leashes and harnesses, and maintain a calm, loving environment. Anything else you need, I can do it. I keep constant communication (texts, photos, videos, and any updates requested) so you always know your pet is happy and cared for. I treat every home and pet with the respect and attention they deserve because that is what I would want for my baby.

About: I've been taking care of animals almost my whole life! I have experience with old dogs and anxious dogs, as well as cats! I love animals of all sizes and have all the time in the world to care for them. I do not currently have a job- I am a college student doing this over the summer. I can spend all day and potentially if needed all night with your animals! I do not have a car so I can't drive them places but I am happy to go for walks with them! I will spend all day with your animals! I'm good at keeping to schedules, but I might spoil your animals just a little. I'm good at cleaning up after animals and I have lots of patience for whatever quirks your pet has!

“Gabriel was awesome! I request Gabriel walk my Winston when I was in a pinch. He took my guy on a walk and was very patient with waiting for him to potty (the whole reason for the walk). He kept in communication with me and asked for any tips that might help my pup. If the situation ever arises again I will be sure to schedule with Gabriel!”

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.

About: Every pet deserves love, patience, and personalized care. Having cared for animals my entire life—from dogs and cats to birds, ducks, and chickens—I understand that every pet is unique. I’ll treat your furry or feathered family member with the same attention and care I’d give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and make it a priority to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, so I’ll always follow your routines, instructions, and preferences closely. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing at the park, or relaxing at home, I’ll provide attentive, loving care while keeping your pet safe, happy, and well cared for. Regular updates and photos are always included so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Hello! I’m Marcella A and I’m currently going to cnm, majoring in veterinary medicine. My passion is to be a voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. This volunteer work at my job shadow (on resume) has given me hands-on experience handling different animal breeds and understanding the deep emotional bond between pets and their owners. I observed a cat surgery, the importance of aftercare and recovery. I’ve studied a Certified Veterinary Technologies performing a venipuncture safely. Growing up I had a lot of animals ranging from snakes, gerbils, hamsters, birds to cats and dogs. In a sense it taught me a lot of responsibility at a young age. I’ve had years of experience understanding the right diet/nutrition, structured hygienic health, behavioral patterns/management and medication needed for fuzzy friends! Currently I have OPEN availability! No furry companion is too big or too small to provide dietary/nutritional feeding times, potty breaks, midday check-ins, local dog walks, structured hygiene, health tracking & emergency preparedness! I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care to beloved fuzzy friends from the moment they walk through the doors! I provide services to lovely pet owners to support in detailed instructions/expectations that I compile to! Includes but not limited to: fun playtime(indoor/outdoor) dietary, daily water intake, potty habits, long walks, & precise medication intakes!!

“Opal and Andrew were amazing! Great communications (with me AND Poppy ?), on time, very patient with an over eager pup... We plan to be repeat business right away!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—my dad, my grandparents, everyone in my family had them—so caring for pups is second nature to me. I have a great pyrenees of my own who brings endless joy to my days and loves making new friends. At my home, your dog will have plenty of fun and comfort. I offer a doggie pool for summer splashes, a ball launcher for endless fetch, and a variety of toys to keep tails wagging. If your pup needs a kennel when left alone, I have two here so you won’t need to bring your own. My home comfortably accommodates up to four dogs at a time, so your furry friend will have plenty of company without feeling crowded. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a safe space to relax, I treat every dog like my own—because to me, they are family. I currently work from home! I have a big backyard and one friendly house dogs that are always looking for new friends ☺️ There’s also a doggy pool outside for them to cool down in the summer. The pets are allowed free range of the house (as long as they are house broken) and the backyard. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them dental sticks once daily, but will follow the feeding/grooming/walking routines your dog is used to.

“Kristle did an awesome job checking on and walking both my dogs together. Both of them are strong and my younger dog can be a challenge. She communicates well and sent me pictures. She went above and beyond what I asked. I will certainly be asking her to walk my dogs in the future! ”

Melissa K.

“We were looking for a trustworthy, dependable walker for our rambunctious dog and Melissa fits the bill! She seems like a genuinely good person who our dog just adores. It's hard to let a stranger handle your beloved pets. Your friend is in good hands with Melissa! We'll continue to use her for daily walks.”

About: I have had pets of all breeds my whole life. My family has had dogs, cats, turtles, you name it! I love spending time with animals and will treat every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time as a freelance interpreter, so I make my own schedule and have plenty of down time. I’d love go start using some of that down time in way that will bring me joy and help out others. I have a large fenced yard, that has plenty of shade and room to run around. I don’t mind pets on my furniture but if wanted, I can crate your pets.
