“Holly was excellent! Both of my dogs instantly fell in love with her. She did a great job taking care of them, feeding, watering, and letting them out, and the photos were super adorable and appreciated. I felt safe leaving my boys in her care, and will definitely book with her again.”

“Katherine did a great job taking care of our two cats. She interacted with them (not just play), which they really needed during our absence. From her pictures, we could tell our babies really connected with her (we know them well!). We will definitely reach out to her in the future when we need someone to take care of them during our absence. Thank you, Katherine!”


“Raymond was very attentive to our cat’s needs. He followed the care plan for him, and our cat was happy when we returned, which is unusual for cats when their owners go away for a time. I highly recommend Raymond and would use him 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.
About: I’ve volunteered at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society. I have always been around animals/pets and can’t remember a time I have ever been without one Animals have genuinely been part of my everyday rhythm for my while life, this isn't just a side gig I squeeze in, it's something I structure my days around. I keep my schedule flexible enough to accommodate early morning walks, midday potty breaks, or last-minute evening visits, because I know pets don't operate on a 9-to-5. Whether I'm caring for my own pets or a client's, mornings usually start with a walk or playtime to burn off that early energy, followed by feeding and a calmer stretch of the day, and then another walk or check-in before evening. I build my week around consistency, because pets thrive on routine, and I want them to feel like nothing has changed just because their person is away. I care for pets with the extreme focus and attention, checking on them very constantly and frequently to make sure the animal is doing ok and is in a comfortable environment. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet's world exactly as familiar as possible, same feeding spot, same walk route, same bedtime routine. I follow your instructions closely, whether that's a specific leash technique, a feeding schedule down to the half-cup, or a particular way your cat likes to be greeted. I also keep an eye on the house itself, bringing in mail, rotating lights, making sure everything looks lived-in, so you're coming home to total peace of mind, not just a fed pet.
“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!”

“Ian was great. The photos were an added bonus. We now feel secure in leaving our senior dog in the care of someone else. We'll definitely try to secure Ian's services when we travel again.”
“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.”

“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!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up helping care for dogs, cats, and pretty much any living being! My pup Taz has been with me since he was 10 weeks old, and he’s taught me so much about dogs, their personalities, and what they need to feel happy and comfortable. We’ve even spent a few years living the van life and traveling coast to coast, so he’s definitely seen it all! I also have over seven years of hands on experience helping my mom, a dog breeder, care for 20+ litters of puppies. I’ve learned a lot about puppy care, socialization, and basic training, and I’ve even helped with therapy dog training and visits to hospitals and community spaces. I work a hybrid schedule, so I’m able to give your furbabies plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and lots of love while they’re with me. I’m naturally very observant and notice the little things, which helps me pick up on what your furbaby needs as a deaf person. I like to keep a comfortable routine with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so they know what to expect and feel at home. My schedule is flexible (I work hybrid), so there’s plenty of time for extra play, outdoor adventures, or just relaxing and snuggling. Every furbaby is different, and I’ will adjust their routine to match their personality, energy level, and what they’re used to at home. My pup, Taz, is a social butterfly! He adores and gets along with every single pup he has ever encountered from all over the United States while on the road. If your furbaby wants company, he will be the perfect duo. If your furbaby wants to chill, he will gladly give them space to chill. I call Taz the "Rover Whisperer".
About: I've taken my neighbors dogs out on walks since I was in elementary school. I also sometimes house sit for one of my coworkers, who has 2 dogs, 1 barn cat, and 6 horses. She says that I'm reliable, and trusts me to take care of her animals when she goes on vacation. I currently work full-time as a medical assistant. I work 5 8 hour days a week. During my off days and after work hours, I have time to care for your four legged furry friends, and give them the attention they need. Drop in visits in your own home would be best. My cats don't do well with other animals. I don't ever let them outside, and are very happy indoor cats that have an automatic feeder, a robot litter box, and a water fountain.
About: I have hands-on experience working as a veterinary technician, where I learned safe handling, medication administration, basic first aid, and how to keep pets calm in new or stressful situations. That background helps me confidently care for puppies and kittens, seniors, pets with medical needs, and shy or nervous animals. Outside of clinical work, I’ve grown up caring for family pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, whether your pet needs enrichment and long walks, or quiet cuddles and routine comfort. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priority. I work from 9-5 Mondays through Fridays, and am able to work from home for dog sitting. I am typically able to help after work and on weekends! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and the same level of care I’d want for my own. When I’m caring for pets in their home, I follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, training cues, boundaries, and any house rules. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured, and I always keep a close eye during outdoor time or new interactions. Whether your pet needs structure and long walks or quiet time and a soft place to nap, I’m committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable.
About: Worked with professional dog trainers for the past 2 years. I can help set up the groundwork for tug-less walks for puppies, as well as provide redirection. I've raised my own German Shepard since he was a pup, and he was a nipper back then- with consistency and awareness he quickly outgrew it. Currently fostering a Aussie/Husky mix so I'm no stranger to bigger/ higher energy dogs. I typically walk my dogs everyday for about 2 miles in the midday/evenings , so this is a seamless transition to something I already work on. Currently in between jobs so I'm readily available! I only offer the best for my boys and I hope to impart that onto my clients pets as well. That includes keeping an eye out for your dogs overall health, temperament changes, discomforts, successes, and grooming.
“Angel did a great job. She was on time for visits, sent lots of photos and contacted me when necessary for questions. Through her communication she put my mind at ease that my kitties were being well cared for. I will use her again.”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was 14 years old and grew up caring for others’ pets. Over the years, I have worked with dogs all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, and high energy breeds. I have built long term relationships with clients who trust me not only with their pets, but with their homes. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and maintaining each pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience administering medication and managing detailed feeding and exercise schedules. I provide daily updates with photos and respond quickly to calls and texts so you always feel confident and informed. I recently graduated with my BBA in 2025 and will be returning to earn my MBA in the fall. I am currently focusing on internships and pet sitting, and I occasionally help at my family’s restaurant where I work short shifts. I have a three year old Border Collie Kelpie mix named Luna who is friendly and very active. I structure my schedule around the pets I am caring for and prioritize their needs and daily rhythm. I am home the majority of the time and only step out for short shifts, making sure pets are exercised, settled, and comfortable beforehand. My days typically start early, which allows for morning walks, outdoor time, or exercise before the day gets busy. I enjoy staying active and can adjust activity levels based on your pet’s needs, whether that means a long walk, a light jog, or a relaxed outdoor outing. If your pet prefers a slower paced day with shorter outings and more relaxation, I am happy to accommodate that as well. I tailor each day to your pet’s energy level and make sure their needs are fully met. I closely supervise interactions and follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. For boarding, pets are separated when unattended to ensure everyone’s safety. I maintain a clean space, monitor behavior carefully, and provide daily updates with photos and clear communication so you always know what your pet is up to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Santa Fe
Nick is a kind, compassionate, hard working persisted who prioritizes the happiness and care of your pet. He was not only very easy to work with but was so conscientious about making sure our pet had a clean environment and was given extra attention. I could not recommend him more highly and it will be hard to book with anyone else after him. Beyond impressed!

Katherine was wonderful. I hired her at the last minute and she made a nighttime trip to our house to meet me and the cats prior to a trip and then she was absolutely on time and thorough with her care of my kitties. I want to go away again just so I can hire her!!

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!

We had a great experience with Anna! She is friendly and reliable and took great care of our kitty while we were away. She took the time to stop by for a meet and greet before our travels, which I really appreciated. Would love to book with her again in the future!

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.

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!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Santa Fe is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $43 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.
As of November 2026, there are 273 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Fe. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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.
