“Melinda was absolutely amazing and took such good care of our 2 dogs Nica and Max. We received daily updates and photos. Melinda was very professional, thorough and responsive. It was evident our dogs were very comfortable with her as well. My wife and I would not hesitate in booking Melinda again.”
“Great communicator! Very thorough in her care for our dog. Write up a tee visit with pictures included. We were visiting from out of town with a 12 week old puppy and Tammh was amazing. We had never used Rover and she helped me learn the systems. I would totally recommend.”
“Tim did a fantastic job looking after Samson and making sure that everything was comfortable for him while we were away. He was easy to get in touch with and sent us daily updates which was really nice. Thankyou Tim, we will definitely call you again!!”
“Jenna was a fantastic sitter for our 2 boys. We came home to a nice, tidy house and very happy kitties. She even reached out during our stay to let us know we running low on cat litter which was very much appreciated (thank goodness to Instantcart). We will definitely be booking with Jenna again!”
“Cheyenne was great! My dog Theo was super happy and excited when we got home from our vaca! Got pictures throughout the weekend that allowed me to enjoy my time away. I will definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Taylor took great care of my dog. She was kind and attentive, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. I can tell my anxious dog felt at ease with Taylor. I will definitely request Taylor again and I recommend her to anyone.”
“Ian did a great job. He was happy to water my patio plants and even got my cat back inside after he escaped out the patio door on the last day of my trip :) He is thoughtful and checked in to make sure I made it home. I recommend. Thanks Ian!”
About: I’ve helped my family take care of our pets my entire life. Growing up, my neighbors and family friends trusted me to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I can administer medicine to your furry best friends and I am a fast learner if I need to be trained a special way to administer the medicine. I have cared for high maintenance, elderly pets, and puppies with gentle care. I genuinely love animals and hope to hang out with some. I am flexible. I have a hybrid work schedule and helping new neighbors take care of their pets is my idea of a good time! I am an avid walker and I am patient. I care about animals, so I make sure I walk dogs earlier or later, when it is not too hot for their paws. I take client instructions and tips for treating their pet seriously, regarding temperament, likeliness to run off while on a walk, etc. I like to give pets ample attention so they are less anxious while their family is not home. I give pets space if they are giving off the vibe of wanting to be left alone, after I make sure their basic needs (and more!) are met.
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life and have hands-on experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other small animals. Being around a variety of pets has taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply giving them attention and comfort while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for! I am taking a gap year after college and will be doing lots of road tripping. I would love to explore new cities, and since I'm not working I will have all day to play with and care for your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and attention, and feel comfortable while their owners are away.
“Very responsive when I needed to have my dingo watched at the last minute. He made sure he had all the info he needed and left me assured before I left cell service all weekend. Came back to a very pleased dog and that’s what matters. Thanks Joshua!”
“Vicki came to our house to do an extra get-to-know-you visit with my dog Riley. He can be a little skittish with people, but he responded to Vicki quickly. She's obviously a kind, caring person, and I feel confident that I'm leaving my dog in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Whitney. I bring a warm, trustworthy presence and years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether it’s a walk around the block or hanging out at home, I meet each animal with playfulness, attunement, and care. I’m also a professional photographer, so you’ll get great photographs along the way! I take your pet’s safety seriously and treat every animal like my own. I look forward to meeting this very important part of your life. I have daily availability for 30-60 min walks, whether weekdays or weekends. I love boarding dogs at my house and driving for drop-ins for cats & dogs. I love photographing all of the beloved pets! I follow each dog’s routine closely, pay attention to their body language, and adjust to their individual needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and provide regular updates. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for both the dog and the owner.
About: ***Please be sure to fill out your pet's entire profile and please do not ask me to contact you on an external phone number until you have been established as a client ; All initial communication must be through the Rover app or website*** Hi I'm Lana! I am trained in animal care and I have been pet sitting (mostly dogs) for more than 10 years. I think dogs are really special beings and beautiful companions. I enjoy being able to give pet parents peace of mind that their loved ones are being looked after with the utmost care and compassion. I have cared for dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. My naturally calm and patient disposition works well with most, especially dogs that may need more time and attention, such as shy dogs or older dogs. I am available for drop-in visits, overnights and walks. For walks and drop-in visits, I still have space open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Mondays and Fridays are packed. If you have any questions about specific dates and times please feel free to send me a message here on Rover. I prefer to care for pets in their own home because it offers them a sense of security during a difficult emotional time while their humans are away. **PLEASE NOTE** I am only offering overnights to existing clients of 4-6 weeks or more, I feel it is important for me and your animal companions to get to know each other before their family goes away.
“My pup did great with Stevvi while I was out of town! i appreciated receiving daily photos and detailed updates, it was such a good feeling to come home and know my pup was well cared for :) highly recommend and would definitely book with Stevvi again!”
About: Upon having taken care of pets for quite some time now. I have learned that all animals need love and compassion like us. I have cared for a variety of animals from mice to snakes and cats to goats. All of the time learning what to do and not to do with every animal. I've always had animals in my life ever since I was a little girl and I loved to caring for them. I was a foster parent for cats a few years back but had to stop when we moved. I've own a few dogs and enjoy the company they have to give to us. I would be more than happy to take care of your babies and treat them as my own.
“Sara is becoming a part of our village! She’s attentive, responsive, and caring. It’s such a relief to have someone who can stand in when you’re away to handle and care for your child with the same love or eve more! Until next time, Dixon.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Fe
Kimmy was fantastic, we could not be more pleased. She followed our requested directions to a T and sent copious notes and lots of photos (a must for anxious pet parents)! We had to extend due to a flight cancellation and she was super understanding and flexible. We will absolutely book with her again!
Hannah is my go-to for kitty sitting! My cats love her and even my shy boy comes out of his shell to enjoy playtime and pets with her. She is reliable and easy to communicate with and my cats and home had great, happy energy after Hannah's visits. I highly recommend her
This is the third time April has helped take care of our three cats — she is really the best. We love all the pictures she shares and detailed updates; she knows our cats so well now and makes a point to play with each of them one-on-one. I can’t say enough about how kind she is and how conscientious. We trust her completely to take care of the fur babies and the house. So grateful to have found her on Rover and we will be booking again. Thank you for everything, April!
Once again Amanda was a wonderful sitter. Our kitty was clearly so relaxed when we returned from our travels. We got updates and photos, and she even took out the dirty litter on her final visit before we got home. Amanda is our go-to kitty sitter from here on out.
Lucas is great and I definitely recommend him. This is the second time we have used his services to take care of our kitty while we are away. He provides lots of updates and he has excellent communication. I always feel at ease that he is taking the best care of our pet
Caroline took very good care of our two young cats. She was extremely conscientious ahead of time about finding out about their routine, security for the house, and feeding schedule. Very professional! Once we were away, she gave a nice amount of updates with both comments and photos. Not too much! Really appreciated her letting us know when she was at our house. She even double checked to make sure that we arrived home when we said we would. We hope to have Caroline watch our cats next time we are away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Santa Fe on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 155 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
