“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!”
“Calista and her roommates were amazing! They loved having my pups! With her professional expertise in animal care I felt very safe leaving them with her. She kept me updated everyday and whenever I asked with pics and videos! I can’t thank them enough! Highly recommended 100%”
“Katie took great care of Nela! She communicated well with me and was a joy to interact with. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust to leave our sweet pup with when we are away.”
About: Kayla is our 2-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves dogs! We want to help her grow up learning how to be gentle, kind, and responsible when caring for pets. Of course, we’ll be right there with her every step of the way, teaching and helping her along the way. Daily Care Routine We follow a flexible, rotational care schedule so each pet gets individual attention and plenty of opportunities to go outside. Morning: First thing in the morning, we take each pet outside one at a time for a bathroom break and some fresh air. Once everyone has had their turn, they come inside for breakfast. Indoor Time: After breakfast, pets are able to relax and enjoy time indoors in a comfortable, climate-controlled environment. They have access to toys and a TV for entertainment, along with plenty of attention and interaction throughout the day. Potty Breaks: Every couple of hours, we rotate through the pets and take them outside individually for another potty break. We continue this routine throughout the day, adjusting it based on each pet’s needs. Because we work from home and are here throughout the day, we’re very flexible. We can give pets extra potty breaks, attention, playtime, or quiet time as needed. Our goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on a routine that feels as close to home as possible. A Comfortable Home Away From Home Our kennel is designed to feel less like a traditional kennel and more like a comfortable home away from home. We have three individual kennels, each equipped with a cozy dog bed so every guest has their own comfortable space to rest. For our longer-term guests, we also have a dedicated doggy bath to help keep them clean and comfortable during their stay. During the day, pets can enjoy time indoors in our climate-controlled space, complete with a TV for entertainment and plenty of toys and attention. When it’s time to stretch their legs or take a potty break, they have access to our fenced yard where they can safely get some fresh air and movement. At night, we use a sound machine to create a calm, peaceful environment and help everyone settle in for a restful night. Because we’re home throughout the day, we’re able to give each guest individual attention and adjust their routine to fit their needs. We want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with us.
“Roberta took very good care of Ginger. She also checked in often to let me know how she was doing. She also checked in when there was any concerns or questions that she had. Ginger was very happy and I had no worries. Would definitely recommend Roberta.”
“Hannah was amazing! She took such great care of Olive, taking her for walks, playing with her and sending us frequent updates and pics. Olive had a wonderful vacation, and we were able to enjoy ours knowing she was in such good hands. I would rebook in a heartbeat if we ever return to Santa Fe.”
“Charity is a wonderful dogsitter! Has a fenced in yard and takes lots of walks. Her adorable dog, Oatmeal, is so sweet and will play along if your dog wants him to. Sends lots of pics. Highly recommend.”
“Lynn took wonderful care of all 4 of my dogs! She is clearly an expert at both taking care of pets and loving on them as much as possible. Plus, she provides the best updates we've had here on Rover! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future <3”
“Violeta was perfect. Can tell she really loves dogs and really cares about them. She watched my dog for nearly 3 weeks. Sent pix and notes. I can’t say enough good things. She’s a great person that really cares about animals. ?”
“David was WONDERFUL! At the time of booking we were new dog parents to a four month old puppy and super nervous about finding the best set up for her while we went on a week long vacation. David was great about setting up a meet and greet so she could meet him and his dog and it was clear from the moment we met him that he’s great with dogs, is dedicated to creating a fun and safe environment, and is just a chill and super kind guy. You just can’t beat the personal touch and he was amazing about sending videos and pictures while we were away. We will 100% be booking with him again in the future — cannot recommend enough!”
“Good communication, smooth drop off and pick up, reasonable rate. Was very welcoming to Nala and made her comfortable with other dogs Will see her in our future trips through Sante Fe”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their El Llano home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your El Llano.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your El Llano sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NM ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
