Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!

Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.

Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!

Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.

Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!

Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.

Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Phyllis and Alan
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)

Magical... A blessing from the Lord my son felt right at home catching butterflies enjoying the nature of spending time with the Lord .. thank you so much for such a priceless gift..
I needed a bed do to bugs it also became hard to sleep on do to it being uneven. Not only did I find what I was hoping for ; I found two bran-used mattresses both were clean an a huge savings to me. I search like every 4-5 days. I also see great tile , like 7 styles. I'm looking forward to that.
No perimeter safety fence. My dog was first put in a dirty run- like dirty bed and dirty water. When I asked to move him into a cleaner (still not clean) run the same dirty bed was moved over for him to sleep on Luckily I went to outdoor run to check it as the gate was completely unlatched Didn’t trust them to leash walk him with no safety fence and peacocks roaming around Glad it was only for day board while we were in the area… Please preview before committing to boarding here and make sure it meets your expectations
We were so blessed to find River Walk during our 10 day Balloon Fiesta stay in October. Sonia and her team were most accommodating to our early morning schedule. We would drop off our dog at 4am on our way to the field, and pick her up that afternoon after our flights. We felt very safe in leaving her there, with her own kennel and space to run free. The countryside location is lovely, and shady. The animals are well cared for. Everyone we met was so kind and welcoming to us. The daycare rate was quite reasonable, especially given our very odd hours. Absolutely recommend River Walk for your pet care needs! Thanks so much! Bobby and Annette Riddle from Kentucky
Most friendly people I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with. They took the best care of my dog and even had top star treatment. They shampoo and even trim nails plus they walked my dog like royalty.
This is my #1 choice for boarding my big, active dogs. Big outdoor runs with good shade. Surrounded by fields and farms, so there's lots of visual and scent-ual stimulation for my girls. Dog-loving staff, reasonable prices. It's like summer camp for the dogs.
Owners Chris and Sonya Cleveland are great!!
They are not just cages for animals. They base their care on the needs of the animals that stay there and by owner request. Its a great animal paradise!
They love and take care of our dogs when we are out of town. The dogs love it there.
Best, friendly, reliable, affordable place around so safe I trust this place completely
Neon Dream Pet Sitting

Neon Dream has been taking exceptional care of my cats for over 15 years. I am so grateful to be able to call on them, and can relax and enjoy time away knowing my cats and home are in such trustworthy hands. Donna, Lauren, and the whole team have always been so loving to my cats, leaving detailed notes about their visits. Lauren went above and beyond recently when I shared that my cat would not eat any wet food after I tried to switch him to a prescription food. During Lauren's visits she bought a variety of foods to try based on her experience and found two that he would eat! I offer my strongest possible recommendation for Neon Dream pet sitting!!
I love Neon Dream. I’ve been working with them for years, and really trust them with my beloved cats. Donna, the owner, is great, and Kristina, my current sitter, is wonderful. She texts me pictures of the kitties every couple of days so I know all is well, and Neon Dream always leaves a sheet of notes so I can see when I get home how each day went. I love their professionalism and care. I love that they keep a copy of my key so they are ready even on short notice (though you should give them plenty of notice if you can, so they can schedule). They are patient with my exact dates fluctuating as I settle my plans. I would never go back to having friends watch my cats. Neon Dream is worth every penny of their very reasonable rates.
We LOVE Neon Dream Pet Sitting! By far the best pet sitting experience we have had in over 20 years of being cat owners. 😻 Donna & Lauren are exceptional! GREAT communication, stellar attention to detail, above & beyond kindness and customer service. To top it all off, their prices are more competitive / better than what we paid others for far less service. The cats are clearly totally content when we return home, unlike experiences with other sitters when we’ve come home to find them stressed & unhappy. We continue to recommend them to anyone we know in ABQ! 👍❤️🤩
Donna and her staff have watched my cats several times. She runs an outstanding, professional business! She often sends updates when I am away and I always come home knowing my fur babies were well taken care of. They even leave a rundown of how my cats did each day, which I love! Your pets are in good hands with Neon Dream and highly recommend them for all your pet sitting needs!
Neon Dream Pet Sitting is the best. We have had several excellent experiences with Donna and her team caring for our cats in our home. The Neon Dream pet sitters are friendly, communicative, and flexible. They have repeatedly earned our trust. (And our cats love them too!) Thank you Neon Dream for providing peace of mind that our fur babies are well cared for when we travel.
We've been using Donna & Neon Dream for frequent catsitting since 2013. We very much appreciate the care she and her people have provided for us. It's very easy to book petsitting online, and I love the little notes the sitters leave behind for us. Our three cats are always calm when we return, which is a good sign that they were well taken care of. Plus, I like that the sitters pick up the mail, bring in packages, change lights around, and do a little plant watering.
Donna has been taking care of our pets for many years. We really appreciate her care. Our mewtants are safe and secure when we're out of town. Neon Dreams is a shining star in Albuquerque. Wouldn't want anyone else to sit for us!
I have known Ms. Donna for 20 years and her service is beyond measure. Trust is a challenge and never did she or her crew make me feel doubtful about her care. My pets can attest to this as they love her when she cares for them as if they were her own babies.
When only the best will do. Spectacular ! We lived in Albuquerque 5 years, and we traveled alot before Covid, and they always did us right. Lauren helped us, but they have people for different areas of town. Check out their website.They are a professional legit business, not like some pet sitters. We moved back to ..... and we will miss them.
I've looked to Donna and her team of caring, responsible pet sitters for the last 8 years. They care for my furry loves as though they were their own. Can't speak highly enough about this INCREDIBLE team... though I'd love to keep them all for my own 😻 …

Recent Reviews:
We have used Avalon for years. In fact, they have been there through the entire life spans of our dogs(One has since passed and the other is an old lady). Avalon’s service is impeccable, they are beyond trustworthy, and my dogs loved them. They also provided minor house chores like bringing in the mail, watering, and placing the trash cans on the curb. We happily went on vacations knowing all was well in our home and with our pups. The only reason I can’t use them any more is because we are moving out of state.
Mendi has made travel stress free for me. Not only did she take great care of my cat during multiple trips, she also took care things around the house (packages, trash, etc) and made sure everything was secure when she visited. She was in constant contact with me during my times away. I highly recommend her!
11/6 The Unsigned, Inaccurate, Blame the Customer "Response " from the company has taken this Review from 3 Stars to 1 Star. A. The Original Review was my Calm Statement of Fact. There was no Anger as Falsely Claimed in the Company's " Response ". B. Mendi & other Pet Sitters have suggested other Sitters when they weren't available. I don't recall if I asked for a recommendation or a recommendation was volunteered. C. In the first instance I requested Pet Sitting 1 month in advance. D. I was not told of the details of Avalon's... unavailability until their response to my Initial Review. >> Other than Avalon...removing the Inaccuracies in their " Response " & a Signed Apology, the Discussion Is Over.<< Standing By My Objective Comments, W R ..10/20 Mendi hasn't been available to pet sit since 9/1. In this situation she needs to suggest another pet sitter !
I have worked with Avalon Pet Care for the last 2 years. They have helped me raise my Doberman puppy, Chief, since the day I brought him home. I can’t say enough about their dedication, reliability and commitment to the care of my dog and property. This was demonstrated by the sheer happiness Chief expressed when Mendi came to the house. I would highly recommend Avalon. Their rates are very reasonable and their service is top notch. They will love your pet like it is one of their own.
We have relied on Avalon to care for our home and pets for six years, and we have always been very happy with the service! Mendi cares very much for our pets and home, providing regular, reliable service and keeping an eye out for trouble. For example, Mendi noticed a developing ant infestation and water leak in our house and halted both issues before we returned home. We are always very comfortable leaving our home in Mendi's capable hands. We cannot recommend Avalon highly enough!
Mendi Walters of Avalon Pet Sitters is an excellent pet sitter. She has fed and taken care of my dogs while I have been out of town. Since my dogs are older and need medical attention, she provides them with their medications as needed, following directions from me and the vets. In addition, she puts them in the backyard twice a day, and cleans up after them. I have recommended her to others. She is responsible and has always showed up. She takes great care of my pets and takes the time to tend to their needs. Furthermore, she often makes small repairs around the house. She is readily available and easy to reach via. text or phone.
Mendi is wonderful with my pets and very responsible with my home. She stayed with my fur babies many times, and always takes great care of them. He always returns messages properly, and sends wonderful pictures while we are away. Highly recommended!
I have been using Avalon Home Pet Care Services for several years and am very happy with the care that they provide to my cats, who require daily medication. The care has always been reliable and conscientious, communication has been excellent, and availability has been outstanding.
We have been using Avalon for over 15 years. They are amazing, thorough, caring and dedicated to our pets and home. They have had to take care of emergencies and were wonderful each time. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
After moving back to NM 7 years ago, I had the incredibly good fortune of finding Mendi. I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!! It is not easy for me to entrust the care of my cats to another person, but I can 100% rely on Mendi to care for my sweeties. She stops by twice a day without fail. Along with the kitty duties, she opens and closes window shades, brings in packages, will take trash bins out/in if needed. She even watered my garden a few times during the hot summer. Highly recommend!
Duck & Turtle Pet and Home Care, LLC
Recent Reviews:
I moved across country this year, and have needed someone to pet sit my tortoise a few times now. I've had him since I was a child, so it's important to me to find someone who has experience with terrapins, and where he could stay comfortable in his tank at home, as travel stresses him out. They've always been friendly and helpful, and I'm glad I've found their services.
Duck & Turtle is the first professional pet sitting and home care service that I have ever employed. Jarrett and Daniel were wonderful to my timid old, semiferal cat; they patiently developed a connection with her so now her circle of Humans Not to Fear is wider! Equally important was the immediate rapport they established with me—I felt very confident in leaving my home and cat in their care. The cat, the plants, my apartment, mail—my home even looked better than it did when I left—how did they do it? While I was gone, Jarrett kept me updated with emails and pictures of the old gal. I just can’t recommend Duck & Turtle highly enough—Albuquerque, you’re lucky to have this service! Go take a look at their website!
We are so pleased that Duck and Turtle have cared for our pets. They are professional, kinds, thoughtful and make us feel very comfortable when we are out of town. We have complete confidence in them. They are wonderful about staying in touch with us while we are away and we always come home to a happy pet and a safe house.
Jarret and Daniel are great. We feel so confident leaving our beloved pets and home in their care. They always go the extra step to ensure things go smoothly. And the are warm and caring people which the animals pick up on too. We can relax and enjoy our travels when they are in charge.
Jarrett and Daniel are so great. Very trusted. They take excellent care of my five cats as well as my home while we are away. I really appreciate having them care for my fur family!
The folks at Duck and Turtle are great! They provide excellent service and keep our three cats well fed and attended to whenever we're out of town. They provide good updates and keep us aware of how they are doing and if they see any problems or behavior changes. Great service!
