Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Santa Fe

About: I am a pawrent of one doggo and two gattos. I love to pet sit for my friends (cats, dogs, bunnies, anything w a heartbeat). Grew up on a cow farm and married a vet tech, my dark clothes have always had some sort of pet fur. Given special diets, special care and homemake treats. Currently a part-time lifeguard, so tons of time to hangout w your fur baby! I mostly work mornings (5am-9am weekdays, 7am-11am weekends). Any time outside of that is available to be spent caring for pets :) I assure the pet is acquainted and comfortable with me in order to work together. Love to bring homemade treats and make a puzzle for them to find it. Will always adhere to any restrictions and make sure we are on the same page.

“Yen is sooo sweet!! She took care of my 2 feline boys (2 yrs old and 14 yrs old) and they both love her!! Not only does she follow routine, she goes the extra mile to see what the boys need and make sure they’re comfortable 🥰 her pics are super cute too and I always look forward to the daily Rover report cards when I was on vacation hehe. I can’t wait to use her service again!”

About: I have been a pet/ house sitter for the last 12 plus years. I have looked after animals ranging from dogs and cats of all different breeds, anges, and sizes! I am also familiar with pets who have ailments such as diabetes, and vision, and hearing loss. I have a four day work week and my work day schedule can vary. I am never away from the home for more than 8 hours at a time on my scheduled work days, however, I do live close to where I work and have the flexibility to pop over and take care of potty breaks. I always make time for walks, feedings, and attention throughout the day:) I prioritize creating trust and a safe environment for the animals I look after. Making sure that your pets receive their desired attention is important to me. Keeping to their scheduled feedings, potty breaks, and walk times is something else that I like to make a priority to help ensure they are as comfortable as possible while you’re away!

“Jes is such a great pet sitter. He gives our cat a lot of attention on his visits and communicates with us about each visit with pictures and details of the visit. So glad we found him.”

About: For the last four years I’ve lived in a home with two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. One was a senior at 13 years old and the other is three. I’ve learned how to adapt to their different needs based on age and personality while setting boundaries and aligning to my Housemate’s desires for their care. (Which has helped me get to know new dogs pretty quickly.) We walk, play and cuddle. When needed I administer medication, feed them, and sometimes cook for them. I look forward to chatting with you about your family’s needs. When house sitting I do not schedule any other families for walks or drop-ins. The care I provide is all inclusive so that your baby gets all of my love and care. If I am not house sitting, I’m available everyday after 11am for walks and drop-ins within a 1 mile radius of lower Rockridge or easily reachable by public transportation. To ensure safety and comfort, I won’t be walking any other dogs outside of your household. I am available to spend time with your pet(s) in their home where they will be the most comfortable. I’ll come to you for walks.

“Went above and beyond taking care of my two cats! I felt so comfortable (and happy!) with the care she gave them between lots of extra love, fixing the litter robot (thanks again! lol), and great reports that let me know everything going on with them. Will definitely have her help watch them again for me!”

About: I grew up in a family that rescued and fostered over 50 animals, which instilled a deep passion for and comfortableness with animal care. In the past 10 years , I have provided short term and long term care for cats ranging in age from 8 weeks to senior. This has included giving oral medication, pills, and post-surgery care. I’m fortunate to also have a strong network of folks with pet care and veterinary expertise who are knowledgeable advisers when I need it. In all situations, I lead with compassion for the animal first :) My work schedule is flexible and largely work-from-home with no location requirement, meaning I am easily able to housesit with a pet on most days. I have my own car so can travel as needed as well. Unfortunately I am unable to provide overnight stays for a pet in my home. However, I am happy to housesit, and can also provide plant care if needed! How I care for your pet in your home is up to your preferences, but when I am able I always try to be home with the pet throughout the day providing play and attention as needed :)

“Heather sent regular texts, photos and videos of my cat, l who was clearly very comfortable and happy. A fantastic pet sitter. Would absolutely recommend leaving your furry children with Heather for piece of mind while away!”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I treat every pup like one of my own! I’m experienced with small breeds, energetic dogs, and those who just want a cozy lap and some extra attention. Whether we’re playing fetch, going on walks, or enjoying a lazy afternoon nap, my goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and completely at home. As a pup parent myself, I believe pet parents deserve frequent updates and lots of photos, so you can relax knowing your best friend is having a great time too. I work from home so I’m flexible during the day and evenings for pet care. I tend to go to the dog park or on hikes a couple times per week. Our house stays very clean and free of hazardous clutter for foragey pups. We have a gated side yard for pups to play in. I have a well behaved small dog who loves to have play mates! He’s neutered and vaxxed.

“Jasmine was wonderful to work with. She came by to go over everything even though it was a last minute booking. She took great care of our 2 cats, including giving a daily medication. Her notes and pictures gave me confidence about how things were going while we were away.”

“Richard was great! He was friendly, professional and an excellent communicator. My cats loved him and he sent cute photos of their time together. I recommend Richard as a sitter!”

Jesse W.

“Christina is great communicator and our pugs loved spending time with her during their midday check-in. Recommend Christina for pet service needs!”

“Neveah did a great job taking care of our pets! When we got home from our trip our pets were happy everything looked great. I would highly recommend Neveah!”

“Samantha took such good care of our elderly kitty! Really appreciated how well she communicated and followed instructions. Would definitely book her again!”

“Yena was absolutely wonderful! 100/100 would book her again! This was my first time using Rover or any dog watching service/platform for Emmy and I couldn't have asked for a better experience or person. From the start, Yena was very kind, professional, and helpful in the booking and meet&greet process. She was flexible and accommodating with my last minute request as my original plan for the weekend fell through. The meet & greet went really well with Emmy, and Yena asked all the questions that make a pet owner feel comfortable and confident leaving their loved one in her hands. During the booking, Yena sent thorough and fun updates along with several photos of each drop by and tracked her routines even reaching out a day where Emmy didn't finish her food but noted that she was still excited about treats. Reassuring me that she cared about Emmy, wanted to know if I felt anything was off, and understood the stress some animals can experience when their owners are away. She even washed her food and water bowls that were getting a little grimy! I felt 100% comfortable, confident, and at ease that Emmy was in good hands with Yena. 10/10 would recommend her for your pet! THANK YOU YENA!!!”

“Cassandra has been a fantastic sitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure my new puppy is well cared for (and handled many logistical mishaps on my part with grace). She is very communicative and will also ask for more direction beyond what's listed on my profile. I will happily be a repeat client.”

Laura W.

“Would recommend Ruby. She’s thoughtful and perceptive to the needs of your pet — and also respectful of house rules. I knew she was great when my cat (who is reticent to new people) was immediately comfortable with her; a sign that she’s truly an animal person!”

About: I was raised in a rural area surrounded by all kinds of animals, and we always had dogs and cats growing up. I have had the pleasure of dog and cat sitting numerous times over the years. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them. I'm new to the Bay Area and looking to devote my time to your pet's schedule. I'm looking forward to getting outside and exploring new neighborhoods with some furry friends. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel secure and stress-free. I’m attentive to instructions, respectful of the home, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure.

“Michelle was amazing! I had a last minute emergency come up and I had to leave my 4 month old puppy home alone all day. I was frantic bc 1, I’ve never left him since the day I got him & 2, bc no one was been around my puppy alone since the day I got him. Michelle was able to fulfill my last minute request and put my mind at ease. Michelle was very communicative; she sent pictures and videos during both of her visits. I could cry at how great Michelle is Thank you again Michelle for your help”
