Doggy Day Care Santa Fe

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. For over 2 years I’ve volunteered at my local animal shelter, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That hands-on experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of treating every pet like family. Currently, I’m home full-time caring for my sweet senior dog, Sophia (15 years old, living with Cushing’s Disease). Making sure she is comfortable and loved has given me an even deeper appreciation for the trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. Because I’m at home, I can dedicate all the time and attention your dog deserves. Here’s what you can expect when your pet stays with me: Lots of love & attention – every pet is treated like my own family. No crating (unless required by you or for very brief times when I must step out). Safe, comfortable environment tailored to your pet’s needs. Experience with senior and special-needs dogs who may require extra patience and care. Regular updates & photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, snuggles on the couch, or simply a calm and caring presence, I’m here to provide the same quality of care I give my own beloved Sophia. Your pup’s happiness, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. ❤️ I'm currently out of work to care for my senior girl, Sophia, that has had some complications with Cushing's Disease. Your pet will be under my full-time loving care at my home, or in your home. I offer both services. Your pet will only be crated when I need to step out momentarily. In my home, pets are part of the family! 🐾 I have a fully fenced one-acre yard where they can safely run and play, and when the weather’s nice, we’ll spend lots of time outside together. Indoors, your pup will be right by my side, whether that’s hanging out in the kitchen watching me cook or relaxing nearby. I don’t crate unless you request it or for brief times when needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to their routine and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and love so they feel safe and comfortable until you’re back.

“Jennifer and Michael are fabulous and very accommodating with my schedule. They treat Mack like one of their own and part of the family. I would highly recommend them!”

About: Every dog is different, and I believe their care should be too. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid back, anxious, a puppy, or a senior, I’m happy to adjust my care to fit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, and I do everything I can to make the experience comfortable for both you and your dog. Whether you have a calm companion or a high-energy working breed that thrives on activity and engagement, I’m happy to tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I never assume unfamiliar dogs will get along simply because they’re friendly. Introductions are done slowly, interactions are always supervised, and I’m happy to separate dogs whenever needed. Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and respected during their stay.

“Super awesome! I was late and she was so understanding! Dogs seemed super happy”

“Great sitter, my boy can be a handful and they didn't bat an eye, and I couldn't have asked for it to have gone better!”

“Jamie was a wonderful sitter ❤️ she was attentive and gracious and kept my puppy safe. Kuzco loved playing with her dogs and he was happy and well worn at the end of the day, which is hard to do with the puppy energy! Jamie was flexible with my last minute, changing schedule around the holidays and I am very thankful!”

“Whitney and Andrew took great care of my Frenchie! She seemed to have a great time with them!”

“Cant say enough good things about Christian. She took care of Dobby like her own and was so accommodating with our schedule. I cant thank her enough and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Spring Hill.”

About: I have 5 dogs that are my kids. I am a stay at home dog mom. Your dog will be my dog while in my care. 4 are small and 1 medium sized. They are all fixed, UTD on shots and heart worm. All adopted from different states and shelters. They are between the ages of 10 and 12, and 1 senior who we believe is about 16. They are only crated at night if I go out for an extended period of time, except Charlie, the old man, he is out 24/7. We live on a half acre, fully fenced back yard (5 ft aluminum with puppy pickets). They can get on the furniture if they want and I have dog beds throughout the house. My dogs typically get on very well with other dogs. I dog sit 2 dogs in my home a few times a year for a few days to a week at a time. 1 medium and 1 large. I have fostered various dogs for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue in the past and I have helped and run adoption events at Petco for about a year for Simpson County Animal Shelter/Friends of the Shelter in Franklin KY. I am a stay at home dog mom. I can pet sit any time of the day or week, for just a few hours, a day or overnights. I only leave the house to go to the store or run a few errands. Typically not out for extended periods. If I am dog sitting, I prefer to be at home as often as possible. I am always around my dogs. I have dog beds in all areas of the house. I keep an eye on them when they go outside. I play with them regularly. When I get a new foster dog, I usually will keep them leashed for a little while until they get acclimated and used to the other dogs. You, my customer are more than welcome to come into my house and yard and meet myself, and my dogs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and taken care of them through every age, from puppy to senior. I am experienced with senior dogs and understand their special needs and more than happy to help how I can. I work from home, so I’m always with your dog when I have them over. This also allows me to be flexible for potty breaks and walks. I am also able to visit them in your home if needed during lunch hours or any time after 4pm. Weekends I am completely free. Any pets at my place are free to roam as they please. They can even lay on my bed if that’s cozy for them. I do not have a yard, but my apartments do have an area outside for me to take them on potty breaks. Very receptive to any instructions you may have.

“Kassandra was awesome with our puppy! He was well taken care of and came home happy and exhausted from playing. He is a 16 week old lab and he loves to play! I was very blessed with a day off from puppy duty and would highly recommend her! Thank you Kassandra!”

About: I had a pet-sitting service for 15 years, and then I started caring for dogs in my home through Dog Vacay. I took a break to care for my ailing mother and then I became a Nanny to a newborn boy. He is now 4 years old and my services are no longer needed. I am also a missionary to Uganda. I've been helping with a woman's ministry since 2007. I can not be idle, so I'm reactivating my Rover profile. I’m available for Drop-In visits or House Sitting. I am retiring as a Nanny and I am reactivating my Rover account. I’m not taking care of pets in my home, but I can come to you; Drop-Ins and House Sitting. While I am in your home, I will also bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, and bring in or take out your trash bins. I can come to you, Drop-Ins or House Sitting. While I’m there with your pets, I will also bring in your mail, trash in & out, water your plants, etc.

“Levirina was amazing! I needed a last-minute dog sitter, and she came through without hesitation. She showered my dog with love and kept me updated before and throughout his stay. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. 100% highly recommend!”

Michael R.

“Ute was great proving day care for our new puppy. As he was in a new home and trying to adapt to life without his mom and littermates, Ute went the extra mile to attend to his needs as a young puppy. I highly recommend Ute!”

About: “I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. **Please have your dog freshly bathed before their stay “Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make time every day for walks, play, and snuggles, so fitting in your pet’s needs feels easy and enjoyable. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of love and attention.” “In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles — I follow their normal routine so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick closely to each pet’s usual schedule, whether that’s feeding, walks, medications, or cuddle time. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and stress-free, no matter where they are.”

“I’ve used Rover in more cities and states than I can count while traveling with Hal, and the experiences have nearly always been excellent. But Samantha is in a class all her own. She’s professional, loving, enthusiastic, flexible, and genuinely caring — everything you could hope for in someone looking after your dog. Her communication was outstanding, with thoughtful updates and great photos throughout Hal’s stay. I always felt completely at ease knowing he was in her hands. If there were a six-star option, I’d give it without hesitation. Thank you, Samantha — truly!”

“I am so grateful for the wonderful care of my older "puppy" Grover who spent the day being cared for. I always know that he's in great hands. Highly recommend and will definitely rebook when needed.”

“Simone was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Liam! At first I was a little hesitant because I saw she had three dogs, but do not let that deter you. Her dogs are so cute , and friendly, and my dog had such a fun time with them. In fact it was a plus!!! Her husband was also very kind with Liam. I highly recommend Simone.. and I would use her again in a heartbeat!!”
