Meet the Sitters

Terri

Owner

Originally from Alabama, Terri moved to Rio Rancho 25 years ago and now considers it home. She opened Fuzzy Friends Petsitting in 2012, but manages to still spend time with her five dogs, cat, and two horses. Terri is an avid lover of heelers and tortoiseshell cats. Before hiring on a full staff of sitters, Terri completed over 10,000 pet sits on her own!

Katie

Dog Walker

Katie believes the bigger the dog, the better! Her favorite breed is the German Shepherd, and she shares her home with a beloved 16-year-old Shepherd as well as an energetic 8-year-old Australian Kelpie. Katie loves being a dog walker because it allows her to spend her days caring for and playing with happy pups. Since joining the Fuzzy Friends team in 2018, she has completed more than 9,600 visits!

Jessica

Sitter/Admin

Jessi spent a decade caring for family members and their pets before joining Fuzzy Friends in 2019. She loves spending time with animals of all kinds, but has a special soft spot for cats since the rest of her family is allergic. Her heart belongs to her 9-year-old Boston Terrier and 6-year-old Pug. Since joining the Fuzzy Friends team, Jessi has completed more than 8,400 pet sits!

Rachael

Sitter

A New Mexico native Rachael has called Rio Rancho home for over 30 years and has always had pets as a part of her life, including dogs, cats, ducks, and parakeets! Her current little lovies include two chihuahuas, a cat, and two guinea pigs. She loves caring for all animals: big, small, furry, or feathered! Since joining us in 2024, Rachael has completed over 1,100 pet sits!

Erika

Sitter

Erika has never met a dog she didn’t love, no matter the size! She absolutely adores cats too, but her heart belongs to her own little sausage boy dachshund. She also has a soft spot for pets with big ears! When she’s not caring for animals, Erika works as a kindergarten teacher aide while studying for her degree in speech and language. Erika joined the Fuzzy Friends team in 2026!
