Cat Sitters in Rio Communities

This was a wonderful place for my dog. I came down from the Army to visit my grandma and my dog stayed here for 3 weeks and when I picked him up he looked super healthy and like he enjoyed his stay. The owner was super sweet and even gifted Stetson a bag of food. She was very patient and really cared for my baby. Also the prices are amazing. I will definitely board here again. 🙂

Bar-Y was recommended to me by a friend and I have never regretted it. My two doggies are everything to me and I was concerned leaving them for the first time at a boarding facility. Me and a friend went to Bar-Y to get a feel for the facility before I was going to decide if I felt comfortable leaving my dogs there. Bobbi, the owner, gave us a tour. She was friendly and the facilities were clean, smelled of lavender, & all the dogs looked happy. When I finally did leave my dogs for the first time, I felt very confident in Bobbi, and her staff, to take care of my dogs, which helped to minimize my worry while I was gone. I have used Bar-Y as my boarders every since.

Owner loves her critters! Kennels are very clean. Our 3 cats did very well there. Rates are quite reasonable.

The best of the human race is here! My dogs loved them and they look forward to going to this pet hotel!

The people are really nice and my Frenchies loved it there. Will definitely keep taking my fur babies to them.

Easygoing, clean facility . This was the first time my 8 month old puppy has been away from the whole family. Checkin was easy. We had time to help settle him in, and settle our hearts. We were able to call and check on him. He was in great hands. When I went to pick him up he was excited to see me, but also it was clear he had gotten comfortable. Great prices and great care. We will use again.

Great place, and affordable, we drive from Rio Rancho. Bobby cares about your pets and so do her animal caretakers. My elderly dog needed extra attention one visit, and she went above and beyond for her.

This was the first time leaving my pup behind. It was such a wonderful experience. The place is nice and safe. My pup, Majic, had her own space to roam inside and go outside at her leisure. The place has heating and cooling. If you plan to leave your pup, its okay to take their beds. I didnt know that but the owner assisted in providing one for Majic. I came back after 5 nights to find her in great spirits. I will definitely take her back if the need arises. Thank you for your services!!

Absolutely the only place I will board my animals. Bobby is excellent with animals. Great price as well.

I have been boarding my dogs there for over 10 years. When I pull through the gate, my dogs get super excited. They love the place. I know they will be well cared for while I am away.

Hideyo is a consummate professional! I loved that she had a consultation appointment to thoroughly understand my cat's routine. I knew it was a match when my cat, who is very cautious, came out of hiding to meet her. She was very detail oriented, which eased my fears of having my cat get to know a new person. Every day she would send me updates with pictures. Cannot thank her enough for helping my cat and family! Will use her services and gifts in the future! :)

I had a good experience with Hideyo sitting my two cats. She is very experienced, so I felt confident leaving them in her care. She gave lots of tips to prep for our trip to make sure the cats would be safe in our absence. She sent photos and updates daily so we could keep track of how they were doing. We will happily have her sit our pets again.

Hideyo has watched my cat multiple times over the last two years. She is always attentive, communicative and most of all accommodating. She sends texts updates each day showing both proof of services and time spent with your pet. She is effortless to work with and takes the time to know your animal and its eccentricities. She is a great value for the price of her services and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

I can't recommend Hideyo enough! I was really nervous about leaving my two dogs, but at our first meeting she put my mind at ease. She took the time to build trust with my more anxious pup, and it was clear that both of my dogs adored her. Her communication was outstanding—she kept me updated with photos and messages, which really helped me relax while I was away. When my travel plans changed unexpectedly, she was incredibly accommodating and made extra visits without hesitation. I felt like they were in great hands, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

Hideyo does a great job with our 3 cats that have very different needs and personalities. She's able to manage them all and sends us regular updates and photos. We recently had a travel emergency and Hideyo was able to come over and make sure everything was good at home. We always appreciate her attention to detail and quick responses.

Hideyo runs an outstanding pet sitting business. She is one-hundred-percent responsive, responsible, organized, and trustworthy, and most importantly, she clearly loves the pets she cares for, as do her associates. She recently provided drop-in and overnight pet sitting for us and it was wonderful to know that our dog would be in such good hands while we were away.

Hideyo is a great and attentive sitter! We had a health scare with one of our cats while we were away and Hideyo kept a good eye on him. Visited the baby daily and kept great notes on his status! She's very professional and great at what she does :)

We were so fortunate to find help from Hideyo at Wags to Whiskers in the care of our three pets. Hideyo was extremely professional and made us feel extremely comfortable during her initial visit to get to understand our living arrangements and meet our furry friends. She was very prompt and courteous in all communications around her visits. She provided photographs of everyone to help reassure of us everyone doing great. Extra points for all the attention to detail around ensuring our home would be secure and safe for pets while we were gone. I’d whole heartedly recommend her to anyone looking to have an extremely professional and reliable individual care for their loved pets. She has obviously been doing this for a while and cares greatly for the well being of an individuals home / pets.

I do not travel much because I do not like to leave my fur babies behind, well Hideyo and her company solved that. I feel very comfortable leaving them in the care of Wags tp Whiskers. They send me a picture each day. She is able to get my anti-social cats to come out from under the bed and greet her!!!!! Hideyo is one of the sweetest humans I have ever met. I feel very very comfortable recommending her and her company.

I'm really glad I used Wags to Whiskers to check on my 2 cats while I went on a 2 week vacation. They'll be my go-to from now on. They are very knowledgeable about caring for our animal companions, professional and conscientious. I got texts with pictures of them during every visit and was able to have a real-time text dialogue. This was enjoyable, and helped me have a worry-free trip. The mail was collected and packages received. Highly recommended.

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 love and take care of our dogs when we are out of town. The dogs love it there.

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!

Best, friendly, reliable, affordable place around so safe I trust this place completely

This was my first visit with my dog Silver. They did a really good job with him. When I picked him up, he looked fabulous. I was really happy with their work. The girl I associated with when I took him in the morning made me feel comfortable leaving him. And when I picked him up, the girl was nice also. Don't remember their names sorry.

My little service dog Buddy looked better than a movie star. They treated him well. I'll bring him again real soon.

I only wish I could give a “20”. We’ve been together for almost 30 years and multiple St Poods + more. Family owned and operated, they care for pets like they’re their own. Also offer a well supervised training program. ❤️

Unable to see inside grooming location, talk to groomer or give previous records. I have never taken our dogs to groomers who seem to have something to hide. Wouldn't do that with any member of our family. Need better Customer Service and knowledge of who is caring for my pet. Glad not to schedule there.

Awful experience. First of all the total time was 6-8 hours. Seemed pretty long for a 4 month old puppy but that wasn’t even the worst part. They didn’t listen to what I wanted. I hate the standard poodle look and that’s what they gave me it was way too short, but the worst part was that they waxed the inside of her ears, which left her with dermatitis and her having to be on medication for two weeks after a vet visit. The owner only agreed to paying half the vet bill. This was our first groom and ended up being traumatic for both my pup and I.

Shari took our difficult Lhaso Apso who has been "fired" from several other groomers, and even though he was difficult he came back looking amazing. And most important he's welcomed to come back again. Great service and very friendly. We really enjoyed. 12.21.2019. We just had our 2nd visit and even better than our first. They truly take the time make even the most difficult dogs comfortable. Flash left looking like a "movie star"

Great people that work here! They do awesome work! They care about there customers and animals they are working on!! Highly recommend this place!

Next door to Shari's pampered pets, in Belin, is a thrift store which i visited. I found a craftsman tool box and several good quality books at bargain prices. The sales lady was kind and courteous. I recommend this thrift if you are looking for a little gift for a lady friend or your abeuleta. But i don't have a pet, so i did not go to Shari's. Is it a groomers, a clinic, a shop? I have no real clue, and cannot say. You will need to solve that mystery for your self, and maybe your pet.

Great as always! Google has this biz confused with one in New Mexico. This one is in Phoenix at Union Hills and 7th St., by Basha's.

My Dad and we have been going to Shari Pampered Pets for a long time! Great Service.Need a week notice maybe more! Excellent Staff

Beck 'n Call is clean and organized and the dogs really seem to enjoy daycare! I love that I can watch them through the cameras online. The manager was very friendly and helpful.

Where to begin... First off stay away form this place if you have a working breed dog or a dog that has high energy drive these "handlers" do not know how to handled a dog like that and will take the lazy route when it comes to integration. Our dog was dropped off at daycare around 2:20pm and was there for approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes. When my wife and I went to pick her up the front desk person with glasses very nonchalantly told us that our dog was put in the crate because of her wanting to play with another dog that did not want to play. Now I understand she is a high energy breed and will never really tire but instead of trying to mediate the situation they decided to separate the two animals. This is the first time ever that we have heard or seen her have a problem with a dog. This right here told me the handlers do not know how to do their job and were just taking the easiest and laziest route instead of trying to integrate or redirect attention to another thing. This was also her first day at this daycare (will also be her last) and she does not know all the animals. So upon this separation from each other they seemly stuffed her into a crate. Now our dog is crate trained but with only her crate and not some random crate at a new daycare. Unsurprisingly to anyone with a brain she freaks out because this is all new to her. So instead of seeing she wont go into a crate and doing something else they decided to force her in and she got a big cut on her nose. There were many things wrong with this picture starting with the lack of ability to deal with the situation and knowledge of how to mediate between two dogs. Secondly, she has never had a problem with any other dogs in the previous daycares over the year and has dealt with multitude of different breeds. Third, the woman at the front with glasses seemed very dismissive and her attitude towards us seemed like she did not care. Her "brilliant" advice was to bring her earlier when the dogs want to play more. We both have work schedule that will not allow that and also what does that even mean? Daycare is for play so why is my dog getting punished for wanting to play? We are very disheartened that they did not try and call us but instead just rotated her and the other dog into crates all day. What kind of mediation is that? There is a lot of training that needs to happen and honestly I am debating seeking legal guidance on this for the next steps because the way this situation was handled is very concerning. If a manager wants to reach out about it feel free I am open to chat more. Update: Spoke to the manager and man does the shoes fit in this place. They deflect and do not take ownership and watching my dog struggle in the crate on the first day of daycare in a new environment. Manager said that the wound was “self inflicted” while in the crate. That tells me they watched as my baby was struggling and instead of letting her out they just let it happen. What absolute wastes of spaces. They should not be allowed anywhere near animals at all. Still seeking legal guidance on this. Have an appointment scheduled.

My grand dog came home injured. There should never be an instance where this should happen. It appears workers are unskilled and unknowledgeable in handling certain breeds of dogs. Daycare is supposed to be a social event for the dogs, they should not be put in crates for long periods of time. This is unacceptable and heartbreaking to hear that the dogs are being subjected to this cruel care.

They always take such great care of my Rio. He’d always happy to visit!

The employees are very attentive to your pet. They understand that pets are family and should be treated as such.

So happy to have beck ‘n call nearby. Our pups love it here and always come home tuckered up after a full day of playing. They do really fun things often too (recently they offered a photo shoot for the pups to be on Santa’s lap). Highly recommend.

I love beck ‘n call! They are always very nice and the prices are better than a lot of options. I love that the dogs can all day play, no extra cost. They also have indoor/outdoor areas with a little kiddy pool for the dogs to cool off. I enjoy watching the live view cameras to see if my dog is having a good time, which she always is!

Always good experience with them, they know Duvalin 🐶 and are super friendly and loving to him. Good prices and availability. …

I love them. We've been taking our dogs here for years. They are friendly and really, part of our family as we trust them so much with our fur babies. They're always there for us! Plus I love that they have live video streaming during the day so you can get a peak at them while you're away.

My dogs absolutely love this place! They are so happy and clean when I get them home. Both a handful and well over 50 pounds, they are given the best care! I always receive a text promptly that they are done with photos of them looking so happy. Big box store groomers just aren't capable of providing the service that Beck 'n Call can. This is our permanent groomer as long as we live in ABQ!

Paws In Action did great job taking care of my dog, Eve, while out of state. It was great comfort to know that she was in good hands, safe, and well taken care of. I will definitely be calling Paws In Action in the future whenever I travel. Great job!

Angela and Madison pet-sat for our dog, and they were wonderful! They arrived on time each day and always sent thorough updates along with pictures, which set us at ease while we were away.

First time we have used this company. We are happy that our babies were well taken care by Tracy she was wonderful. She kept us informed about how they were doing and when she was arriving and leaving. I would recommend them.

Paws in Action has been walking my dog Charlie three times a week for over a year. Yaros and her employees treat Charlie with love and attention. He is always ecstatic to see them and very happy to leave with them. I get pictures and a recap of each walk. She has also provided overnight sitting with both of my dogs. I get daily reports and pictures during my absence. As a long time customer I would recommend Yaros and Paws in Action without hesitation. Yaros is professional, responsive and reliable. My dogs love all her walkers/sitters. I can leave my dogs with them without any worry. I know my pups will be well taken care of and treated with love. I highly recommend Paws in Action to care for your animals.

After limiting myself to work, home, and shopping during the pandemic, I finally had compelling reasons to travel out of state, namely visiting long distance family and my daughter's bridal preparation in NYC. One thing held me back and that was who would take care of my two households composed of seven cats. They were shy and old and I didn't want to trust just anyone to care for them. Then a colleague told me about Paws in Action and how professional and wonderful they had been with his two cats. I met the young woman who would provide the sitting services at a meet & greet and she was the gentlest, kindest young person I had met in a long time. We lined up schedules, costs, and my trip was a go. I was nervous the first day I was gone but my fears were soon dispelled when I saw how well my sitter took care of all 7 of my kitties. She sent me daily photos of the cats and their food, and added very sweet text messages to the mix. I can't applaud Paws in Action enough. They were so professional and yet warm and caring about my needs as well as the animals. I highly recommend them to anyone with trepidation about leaving their pets with strangers. I will use them for all the trips I have planned and encourage my friends and colleagues to use them. What a blessing they were to me. I feel very safe with my cats being cared for by this excellent team.

The sitter from Paws in Action was great. She was at the house for 6 days with Bella, my 15 pound rescue. I got photos frequently while out of the country and text with updates. It was a very good experience for me and Bella. I would use their services again.

This dog walking company is amazing. The walkers are so sweet and give you details as they walk your pet so you're left feeling very comfortable and at ease. I am a nurse and with all the COVID craziness going on would have last minute changes in my schedule, they were more than accommodating and made me feel like my pet was a priority. I unfortunately had to move and they even gave my little pup a homemade goodbye treat. If you're looking for a dedicated walker in the ABQ area, I HIGHLY recommend them!

So grateful for paws in action! We recently adopted a sweet older dog after she showed up on our doorstep. She’s a wonderful dog but is understandably anxious from being previously abandoned. We were stressed when we had to go out of town a few months after we adopted her because we knew she wouldn’t do well in a traditional kennel setting. Luckily, we found paws in action. Jade was fantastic with her! She took the time to get to know our dog and her quirks and was reliable and very communicative with us. We were so grateful and relieved to have such wonderful support. Yaroz was also very communicative and helped us come up with a great plan for our pup’s unique needs. Thank you all so much!

Paws in Action did a wonderful job for us. They were able to get us in on short notice. They provided continued communication throughout the process, including our dog sitter who gave regular updates and pictures while we were gone. I would definitely use their service again.

This is the second time we've used Paws In Action. Everything went smoothly, and our dog walker, Christine, was very comfortable walking our two big malamutts. We got reports every time on how they did, and it made the trip very easy.
