We met him for breakfast and discussed what was needed. We used apple notes to leave a list of what he needed to take care of the dogs and he was up front with the price. He stayed with the dogs for 4 days. Fed them, walked them and made sure they were fine. Sent us pictures while we were on the trip and that made us happy. He also cleaned up the yard. We didn't even ask him to do that. So happy we went with ABQ Dog Walkers!

If you're anything like my family, you love your dog! Oh, and yes dogs rule, while cats drool!…read moreSorry, I just had to get that off my chest! Anyway, despite the fact that you love your dog, you can't always bring her with you. Am I right? Especially if your girl is a larger dog (big girls need love too), sometimes it's best to just leave the old girl at home. But there's the catch! Unlike a cat, you just can't leave Spot unattended! Dogs need that human interaction, unlike cats that really don't give a rat's ass about you. So, what do you do? You either find a family friend and impose (how rude), or you find a kennel. We chose the latter! Happy Tails is ran by the nicest dog loving woman you might ever meet. Fret not crazy cat people, she probably has a soft spot for cats too if you're in need. Nevertheless, the rates are fair, you can either bring your own food or she'll feed them hers, and she throws in a nightly treat. In addition, you can bring something personal so your dog isn't too sad. We brought our dog's bed with us as we dropped her off so she'd be a tad more comfortable and not so depressed. If you're in need, Happy Tails has got your six! Give 'em a go, you'll be glad you did. Administrative note: Don't trust GPS to get you there, it's wrong! Take the Carnuel Road exit off the 40 as you're traveling East. Go across old Route 66 and stay to the left. Keep going past Silver Hills LN (even though the address is 1 Silver Hills LN) and it will be on your right. Try to go before it gets dark to alleviate your anxiety. Cheers!

Irina agreed to provide doggy daycare for our 10-month old puppy, Sophie, at the last minute while…read moreon vacation in Santa Fe and wanted to visit museums. She walked her regularly and even gave training advice, as well as worked with her on her training by reinforcing good behavior. We definitely recommend her and would use it again.

Irina of Pet Angel of Santa Fe is absolutely exceptional in every way that matters…read more I just hired Irina for the first time ( 4/25 - 4/28/2025) to take care of my post-surgery, one year old male cat for 4 days, at her home. He had had a very delicate operation to repair a tricky break in the tibia bone of his back right leg. They had installed a metal brace and screws and wire. Very expensive and extremely important to contain the cat so he would not harm the leg while it is healing. I had an out of state family funeral to attend and was in a panic. I googled something like post-surgery in home care in Santa Fe. Her website plus one other Pet Hospital came up. I reviewed her website, noticed how well it was designed with attention to detail (very important) and that she was licensed via the city of Santa Fe for animal care. I never even felt the need to review the other website. My cat, named Kitty, needed 24/7 care and someone with experience handling medications and delicate post-surgery care. I emailed her of my upcoming needs, as it was late on a Sunday and I needed to leave in 4 or 5 days. We spoke the next day and went over all my concerns. As we spoke it was so obvious that she was very experienced in the post-surgery needs of an animal. Additionally, she demonstrated a deep understanding of relating to the cats and dogs she takes care of. If you want to just have Irina go to your home and feed and water and clean up after your pets while you are away that is of course possible also. Irina sent me wonderful photos and reports everyday of Kitty. I felt completely confident that Kitty got excellent care and attention...complete with a heated rug his first day there to comfort him as he adjusted to this new environment. I could go on and on but don't want to make this any longer. In short, all pet owners in Santa Fe, are lucky to have Irina the Pet Angel of Santa Fe as an option for animal care when the need arises. Thanks, Irina for your love and devotion to my Kitty and all cats and dogs. Mary BB

Jon (the owner and dog trainer) is FANTASTIC!…read more My husband and I adopted an adult, 4 1/2 year old rescue/stray named Bolt in January 2021. He's a whopping 8lb. and a Chihuahua/poodle/Yorkie terrier/Maltese mix aka a mutt! He had no training at all. He was definitely a mess. Anyways, we desperately needed some dog training, and I searched all over Albuquerque. Jon was the only person I could find that offered a free consult. I really didn't want to pay to meet a trainer. What if it didn't work out? However, He came to our house for the consult, and Bolt LOVES him. Jon does 3-4 private lessons (sit, place, walking on a leash) and then "promotes" them to dog group class. He's really patient, loves to talk about dogs, and helps to trouble shoot weird dog behaviors. We have been in group class for about a month to 6 weeks. Bolt went from being scared of poop bags and not knowing his own name to being able to sit, place, come when called, and is working on down, off, leave it, and leash walking. Group classes are great, everyone is very supportive and friendly, plus Bolt gets to work on tuning out distractions, as they are held at local parks. Overall, I have been SO happy with Jon and Swagger Dog Training. He's amazing and the service he provides is top notch. If you need a dog trainer, PICK JON.
