“I left my pup Akasha for 2 nights of boarding and she was in the best hands with Elthea, Joshua and their pack! They had great communication and sent lots of updates. Genuine dog people/lovers. Highly recommend!!”


“Jess did such a great job watching our little Megan. She made me feel comfortable right away and my dog seemed just like herself when we went and picked her up. I got pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and communication was always fast. Would definitely book again!”


“Patricia was a great dog sitter for our Gracie. Gracie was well cared for and had a blast playing with Patricia’s dogs Gila and Cedar. Gracie came back to us happy, content and tired! We could tell she had a lot of fun and attention. Patricia has a big yard and good dog sense and I wouldn’t hesitate to board Gracie there again.”


About: Lifelong compassionate caregiver of all ages and sizes. Detail-oriented, patient homebody with time to care and land to roam. Queer folks and women first but all welcome! 🌈🐾 I work part-time remote. My schedule bends to the needs of your pets. I do not board pets from different households at the same time. Fenced, secure yard; dog-proof everything indoors; separate rooms if needed, otherwise plenty of clean, cozy common area. Frequent yard time and walks. Experienced with senior care, medications (including injections), patience for puppies, and love for all canines! I prioritize my own dog's safety first, so as long as yours are friendly, everyone is welcome :)

“Amanda was great. She is very friendly it is easy to see she is a dog lover. Amanda was very accommodating with my family emergency and my pups were looked after well. I will definitely look to her first next time.”


“Baxter and Penny had an incredible time with Genevieve! Between playing with her pets, snuggling at night, and her incredible yard, I'm not too sure they wanted to come home!! She did a wonderful job taking care of them. Next time we're in Santa Fe, we will definitely use her again.”


“I believe that how your dog behaves as soon as you pick them up after a stay really says a lot about their experience with a dogsitter. When I reunited with Zoe after almost 2 weeks away, she was happy to see me but I could also see how comfortable she was with Gavin and his dog, Wana. Zoe behaved her usual happy-go-lucky self. What was even cuter was that Wana jumped right into my car with Zoe. They became good buddies. Gavin was an amazing communicator and Zoe seemed to really enjoy staying with Gavin and Wana. The daily updates and photos of the dogs playing and cuddling together were greatly appreciated. Zoe seemed to really feel right at home- I think that says a lot about how great an environment and experience Gavin provides to his doggy guests. Thank you Gavin and Wana. Zoe will certainly be excited to vacation with you and Wana again!”


“Michelle was patient, professional, and great with Roscoe! Michelle also has a fabulous space for hosting. My fur baby got lots of cuddles and playtime. I would book with Michelle again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Michelle!”


“Joy was great!! She took Lilly to the park and made sure she was well taken care of. Joy has a great love for animals and it shows. I would be happy to leave Lilly with Joy anytime I’m away!!”


“She absolutely SAVED us when we had a last minute sitter cancellation due to some weather at home. She was able to accommodate us so quickly with zero issues. The dogs loved it there! Very satisfied! Highly highly reccomend.”



“We have found our fur baby's home away from home!!! After various dog boarding, pet resorts, and other rover sitters we found the prefect match for our German Shepard. Marissa and her son watched after Dexter while we went on a long weekend trip. They were perfect and understood his needs of having company with him at all times. They only watched over our dog and didn't take additional dog owners, which was a requirement for us. Their house is prefect with plenty of room for Dexter to be inside and outside. We met before the scheduled date to meet her dogs and pets and everyone got along. The communication was great also. Marissa sent pictures of Dexter daily and let us know how he was doing at all times. We drive 1 hour to get to her home, but I don't mind the drive as long as Dexter's in good hands. It was tough to find a good match, so we're very happy Dexter has a great home to stay at when we need to go out of town.”


About: I’ve always had a dog since as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a love for animals. I take care of my family’s pets while on vacation or just on a weekend trip. I’m do work full time but when I’m not working, I’m loving on my fur babies. I have plenty of time to care for yours and mine. I live in a very rural area where your dog can run around and go on walks with me off leash if well behaved. If not, we can still go on walks, just with a leash. ☺️

“Britt worked out so well for us! We were staying a night at Ojo Caliente (and they don’t allow pets). It was a great option for us to have a wonderful pet sitter so close to Ojo. Britt was an excellent communicator both before and during our pup’s (Axel) stay with him. He took Axel on walks and sent pictures through the stay. We highly recommend Britt for dog sitting, and would welcome the opportunity to use him again if we need a dog sitter!”



“Lynn is a very great sitter! She had our Eenie in a nice, safe area away from the other cats until they got acclimated to each other. Throughout our trip, we were given pictures and updates to let us know that Eenie was doing okay.”


“We came to Santa Fe for a long weekend along with our dog, Dalton. There were some days where we had activities planned that unfortunately didn’t allow dogs so we hired Stevvi to care for our little guy for an evening and full day. Dalton was happy and relaxed when we picked him up and Stevvi was quick with communication during the 24 hours Dalton was in her care. Thanks so much!”



“We had a wonderful experience with Patris. We have an older, medically involved pup and were worried about leaving her for an extended vacation. Patris made us feel completely comfortable. She is a great communicator and kept us informed throughout the stay. Our pup had a great time with Patris and her sweet boy Ryka. We would recommend Patris without reservation.”

About: Hi, I'm Eva! I’ve had dogs and been surrounded by pets my whole life. I currently have a 3 year old Portuguese Water Dog, Claude. He craves social time with other dogs (big and small) and demands at least two trips a day to the grassy park down the street. He is very active and loves to hike or run after work when it's cool out. He loves learning new tricks and recently passed his Canine Good Citizen test. I work from home Monday - Friday and have a fenced in yard in the back if the dogs are desperate to get some energy out sooner rather than later! I work Monday - Friday on East Coast hours so am usually done by 3/3:30 to get the dogs out and enjoying the sunshine. I am able to take breaks throughout the day for walks to the park and around the neighborhood. We love to go for a run or hike after work when it is cool out! I am available all day, able to provide excellent communication and attention for your dog. I have a fully fenced in backyard that the dogs can play in anytime they wish.

“Brooke was phenomenal. I feel lucky to have found her and think she's an absolute gem on this app. I will definitely be using her again to take care of Luna, would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter! It was a huge relief to know that Luna was being so well attended to. She seemed really happy and like she settled in with Brooke right away and Brooke's communication was amazing. I received lots of updates and photos.”

My dog is very high energy so Eva took him for long hikes and trips to the park. It’s great that she works from home—she’s always around to give my dog attention when he stays with her. I would definitely recommend Eva—she’s responsible, caring, and a great dog sitter!”
