About: I’ve taken care of pets and also have pets of my own who we love so much. Your fur babies will be in good hands! I work but I am willing to align my schedule if you give me 3 days notice in advance, I’m willing to stay in your home so your pets will be more comfortable staying in their own home.

“Jessica is wonderful. Our 2 Ragdoll kittens adored her. She is calm and very professional. She did a great job grooming our kitties. I will absolutely use her again. Thanks Jessica.”
About: I have worked at a dog day care and pet sitting company and volunteered at a anima shelter. I also have 2 dogs of my very own that I love very much. I also have a cat, Skylar, she makes my days better. I love animals and hope to meet your animals so I can give them love and attention. I’m pretty available on weekends to house sit your pups. With pet sitting and dog walks I’m available on weekends for most of the day and during the week after 7pm In my clients home I’ll make sure that everything is secure when I’m there. As well as keep an eye on your furry friend to make sure they are safe and happy.
About: I'm honest, dependable, caring, kind and very experienced caregiver to animals with all sorts of needs. I tend to like animals more than humans, if I watch your dogs or cats, its likely I will also take out your trash and do your dishes because I'm like that. I'm currently retired, however I travel quite a lot, but when I'm not travelling, I have 100% availability 7 days a week and all hours. Pets tend to do well with routine, thus I would stay on whatever your pet's routine usually is... if your dog is active that is a +++ as we rarely sit at home and do nothing, but oif your pet likes to just be home then we can do that as well.
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, except for when I was in the military. I love all animals and enjoy spending time and caring for them. Currently I have two dogs who are my best friends. Friends and family rely on me to care for their pets when they are away. I am highly responsible, trustworthy, and caring. I work from home independently on my own projects, so I am able to fit in time to care for your pets regularly. Weekends and weekdays are fine. I will update my calendar in advance if I am not going to be available. Generally speaking I will provide care to animals at their home for short periods. Check-ins and walks. First I will need to meet the owners and the animals. For each visit, I will establish trust with the animal, ensure we are friendly with one another, or at least tolerant. Give some scratches and head rubs to them. All of this will vary based on the animal and their temperament on any given day. Then I will provide requested services as needed. Go on a walk with a dog, or spend time with them. Feed them, give them some treats. Whatever is needed or appropriate.
“my dogs loved him. They were excited to see him and then were able to settle down once he was here for a tiny bit. Look forward to having him come back. He’s very good. I liked him too”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Fe
Vicki E.is a fantastic sitter! She is very friendly and she was great with both of our dogs, sharing pictures and taking great care of them. She even comforted Kirby during a hail storm. She was also a perfect guest at our home and she even stayed at our house and she even stayed until we got home so we could share further details of how our boys did. I highly recommend her!
Susannah was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly professional, patient, and communicative throughout her time caring for our family dog. She went above and beyond to help us during a difficult time when we were unable to walk the dog ourselves, and we are so grateful for her flexibility and care. Susannah was also great about providing thoughtful updates after each visit, including how our dog was doing, how they seemed to be feeling, and any observations or suggestions she had. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure they were happy and comfortable. We would absolutely welcome Susannah back anytime and would recommend her without hesitation.
Reiley was great, as usual. He took care of our cat Olive and our chickens. And he went way above and beyond when our chickens were accidentally locked out of our coop by a construction crew. He came over to our place late in the evening, found the chickens, and got them safely back into the coop. We plan to use Reiley again whenever we travel.
Kaleigh took great care of our dogs while we were away. She sent pictures and left details every day and was very communicative. She was generous with her time with the dogs and was genuinely concerned for them. I would definitely have her watch the dogs in the future.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Santa Fe is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $45 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Santa Fe choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Santa Fe with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
