“Charity and Ray were fantastic. We are so happy we found two dog lovers so close to us. They are extremely communicative, thoughtful, and gave Charlee lots of walks and attention. Charlee isn't the easiest dog to care for but they didn't mind for a second. There's nothing better than having someone you know is taking great care of your fur-friend while you are away, and Charity and Ray gave that to us.”
“Jessica has been an absolute lifesaver for our family! We've trusted her multiple times with our four dogs, two of whom have specific medical needs, and she handles everything flawlessly. She’s incredibly attentive, reliable, and caring—our dogs adore her! Administering meds is never a problem for Jessica, and we feel completely at ease knowing they're in her capable hands. We couldn’t recommend her more for anyone needing a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
“We have continued to use Candace as she is great with our Chihuahua. Our pup wags her tail when we walk up Candace's steps to drop her off, that's when we know she's in great hands.”
“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. ?”
About: I offer thoughtful, detail oriented pet care with a strong focus on consistency, safety, and communication. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, managing routines, and providing a calm presence for animals that may be anxious or sensitive to change. I am also comfortable with medication management. I take the responsibility of being in someone’s home seriously and aim to create a seamless experience both for pets and their owners. You can expect clear communication, reliability, and a high level of respect for your space. My dog, Tessie, is so important to me so I treat your pets with as much love and care that I would want her to have. My work experience includes firefighter/paramedic, ER nurse, clinic work, and am certified in Pet First Aid. I am the Clinical Director at a local free clinic. This allows me to have flexible but predictable hours each week. Because of this I can provide consistent, punctual visits with compassionate care for your pets. For house sitting I can make mid day visits so that your pets are not alone for longer than needed. I cater each experience to the needs of you and your pet. I prefer to have clear communication of your preferences so that I can ensure that you are as happy with the visit as your pets are. For house sitting, I stay in the home so pets can remain in their familiar space with minimal disruption. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules, provide companionship throughout the day and evening, and ensure the home is cared for as well (lights, plants, mail, basic tidiness). My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent presence so pets feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. For in home drop-ins, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean up, medications if needed, and quality time with each pet. I tailor each visit to the pet’s energy level and personality including playtime, short walks, or quiet companionship. I also provide updates after each visit so owners feel connected and reassured. For dog walking, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and needs. I prioritize leash safety, positive reinforcement, and a calm walking experience. Walks can include neighborhood routes or familiar areas your dog enjoys, or local dog parks, and I always ensure they return home settled, hydrated, and comfortable.
“Christina did a great job with our pup. She was extremely communicative and allowed my girlfriend and I to enjoy a day trip to the caverns/Guadalupe mountains with ease of mind.”
“Jess and her daughter were awesome and our doggo had such a great time with them and their doggo!! Definitely if we're out in Los Alamos again would use them! Definitely recommended them to our family who lives out here!!”
“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%”
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.
“Patricia was very easy to work with and was great communicating. My dog loved being at her house and getting to play with Gila and Cedar. I loved that my dog was able to have a lot of outdoor time to soak up the sunshine.”
“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”
“Ari had probably his best stay ever with a sitter at Cressendra's. He was welcomed and understood and photographed (*great* photos!) and - although often skittish with other dogs - was exuberantly engaged with Amigo from the beginning. Cress is communicative, flexible, truly cares about the dogs, 'gets' them. A great photographer. A stellar person. Will definitely leave Ari with her again if she will have him!”
“Sushi always has a great time at Jai's and returns exhausted from running around! Jai is amazing and treats Sushi as if she was his own. I know she gets tons of attention and exercise. Thanks!”
“Christopher was a very reliable sitter who communicated clearly and definitely has a lot of experience! Our pup loved boarding with Christopher and we loved knowing that she was safe and happy!”
“We had to find a last minute sitter and Mel was there to rescue. Hatty loved staying with Mel. Very easy to communicate. We highly recommend Mel and Hatty is definitely looking forward to staying with Mel again.”
“I left my cats with Elthea and Joshua so i could go on a short vacation with my family. I expressed my concern about them never being around anyone else other than me and she sent me pictures of them multiple times to reassure me. They are great!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Santa Fe is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Fe
Hannah was wonderful with our pup. She took Honey Bee on lots of wonderful walks and hikes and treated her like she was her own dog. Honey Bee can be anxious around new people; she has even jumped seven foot fences to get away from other sitters she didn't like or trust! But this was never an issue with Hannah. In fact, when I picked Honey Bee up, she wasn't even in a hurry to get back to the car. Instead, she wanted to keep playing fetch in Hannah's yard. Her level of comfort speaks volumes about Hannah as a pet sitter. We'll definitely be using her services again!
David was the best person we could have found to watch our dog Maple. He obsoletely is a huge dog lover and it’s wonderful to see how much he cares about them. His dog became her best friend. They played perfectly together. We would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone and will be def having him watch her again. Also, he sent the nicest photos and videos while we were gone. Made us feel very happy she was with him.
Joy was great! She responded quickly and was able to Accommodate my dog Smokey with short notice. She was extremely kind and very sensitive to his needs. Her home was very clean and welcoming. Smokey loved his stay there. Well definitely book with Joy again should we ever need boarding in SF again.
Gavin is absolutely amazing. He was amazing with our boy and so communicative . Finding someone who takes such great pride in their role as caregiver for pets is special. Fur babies are our children and Gavin takes it to heart. I guarantee you won’t find anyone who loves and cares for them as much like we as owners do. Thank you Gavin!!
Mark took such good care of my cat Yosemite while I was away. Through daily photos I could tell Yosemite was loved, entertained, and happy. Mark has such a positive energy and made sure to ask all the right questions beforehand to ensure Yosemite had the best care and easiest transition possible. I highly recommend Mark for pet-sitting!!
Brooke was an amazing dog sitter for our furry friend. She sent us pictures of Winnie doing all the things that let us know she was happy and settled while we were gone. I would highly recommend Brooke and I’m sure we will be booking a stay for Winnie there again!
Ari had probably his best stay ever with a sitter at Cressendra's. He was welcomed and understood and photographed (*great* photos!) and - although often skittish with other dogs - was exuberantly engaged with Amigo from the beginning. Cress is communicative, flexible, truly cares about the dogs, 'gets' them. A great photographer. A stellar person. Will definitely leave Ari with her again if she will have him!

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 .
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
