Stephanie was really great with Odo! I was visiting from out of town and needed a day to experience some of the amazing art in Santa Fe. She worked with me on finding a good time to drop Odo off and he loved his time at her home. She was also very attentive to make sure Odo would feel both comfortable and safe. Not to mention she sent me some really cute pictures of him. He really warmed up to her kids and when I picked him up I could tell that Odo really had a lot of fun. He was happy and felt at home! I would definitely be a repeat customer if I lived in Santa Fe. Highly recommend!

About: My husband and I have an Australian cattle dog and had a tabby cat who has crossed the rainbow road. I often care for my family members' dog when they are out of town. He requires special care, as he needs to take a few pills every day both day and night. This schedule is second nature to us. We enjoy being around our furry pals and will enjoy caring for yours too! They will be treated like our own pets and will benefit from being more socialized! I have a flexible schedule because I work from home and can easily adjust to your pets needs. I work a traditional schedule leaving my weekends especially open. I have a fenced in yard and our back door has a doggie door so your dog can go in and out as they please. We also have a large dog crate if your pet is kennel trained.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Daisy during Christmas week. We really appreciated all the updates and knowing she was in good hands while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust you again. Thanks again—we’re so grateful!

Chloe did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Zoey. They went on several walks, and Zoey came home happy and tired each day. Chloe had great communication throughout and was a huge help during our visit to Santa Fe. I highly recommend her!

About: I've had dogs and taken care of them since I was a young child. As an adult I’ve fostered dogs for over 5 years, taking care of all types of dogs. I have experience potty training, house breaking, bathing, and more. The dogs I have fostered came from all sorts of backgrounds; homeless, abusive households, neglected, seniors, disabled (blind, deaf, hard of hearing, missing limbs). I enjoy spending time with all animals and animals like to be around me. Currently working on my dog trainer certification I have a flexible schedule since I work from home most of the time. As a dog owner myself I spend a lot of time taking care of my dog. We go on walks 3 times a day, he gets treats, cuddles and play time all day long. On the weekends when the weather is nice we like to go for short hikes. Unfortunately I sustained a bad fall in 2024 and broke my back; so I am unable to care for any pet over 50lbs or any pet that is leash reactive or pulls on a leash. Since that would aggravate the injury and most definetely stop me from caring for pets all together; I hope you can understand! I have a small backyard where we go play fetch, we also love going to Frenchy’s or many of the other parks in the area for walks and off leash play when the weather is nice. Going for walks 2-3 times a day around the neighborhood as well

From our first communication, I knew.... Kendell is such a beautiful and loving person inside and out. Her love and joy pour out of her. My Buttercup had no hesitation leaving with her and her precious pup, Taz. My heart was happy because I knew this was a new chapter for my little girl who has had a difficult season of instability. I appreciated that Kendell could pick up and drop her back off. The photos confirmed what I already knew. My fur baby was safe, comfortable, happy, and doing zoomies! In Kendell and Taz, Buttercup and I have found new friends and we are so excited to start this new journey together.

Our dog had great fun playing with the dogs at the sitter 😁. Laurie took them on a hike one day and our dog had a great time and was nice and tired out for a calm evening 😊. Lily was very excited to go back for her second day! You should be forewarned that her house is down a dirt road with ups and downs. Would definitely recommend this sitter for a social and energetic dog

Allegra was a perfect host for our dog, Barley! We had to make kind of last minute plans and Allegra was very accommodating for our late daycare needs. She and her husband were super nice and clearly caring dog people, plus they have a very friendly dog who Barley got along with. We would recommend them to anyone!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I grew up with a dachshund and now have a Bernedoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from little lap dogs to energetic, larger pups. I know that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll care for your pet like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I provide attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog's individual needs. Services include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, administering basic medications if needed, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I enjoy keeping dogs active through outdoor play, neighborhood walks, and enrichment activities while also respecting the routines and preferences that help them feel comfortable. My home has a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I've been a dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for both small and large breeds. I previously owned a Dachshund and currently have a friendly Bernedoodle, giving me firsthand experience with different personalities, energy levels, and care requirements. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've spent years looking after pets for family and friends, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand the importance of clear communication, consistency, and treating every pet like a member of the family. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of the day with the pets in my care. This means they'll receive frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, lots of attention, and very little time left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to stick to your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and happy while you're away. I believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and dependable care, and I strive to make them feel like part of my own family from the moment they arrive. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing at home, I’ll treat your dog like one of my own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away.

Melinda was super easy to coordinate with and her puppers is adorable. I felt very comfortable leaving my Pomeranian with her for a few hours while I visited Meow Wolf. And although my guy is very spoiled, he didn’t seem worse for wear after I picked him up.

Stephanie was wonderful with Quill! He was a little nervous when we first left him, but she gave him the time and attention he needed to settle in. By the end of the day, he looked completely comfortable and right at home. It was very reassuring to see how quickly he relaxed in her care. We’re looking forward to his next stay and feel great knowing he’ll be well cared for, comfortable, and happy with Stephanie and her family. Highly recommend!

Russell provided my mini Sheepadoodle Sophie with a perfect day. She was happy and well taken care of. When Her raincoat was left there he tried numerous times to return it; unfortunately, my email was locked and I didn’t get the message on time. He is now mailing the raincoat to my home. I highly recommend Russell to anyone needing a dog sitter in Santa Fe.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Santa Fe

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Santa Fe on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 84 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Santa Fe commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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.

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 dog, 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 84 sitters in Santa Fe, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
